Your spellcraft is high enough that you would be able to think of (and follow through) on using Summon Monster 3 to summon an appropriate oread-themed animal (through your link with Kallik). It could be a stone/rock element for a leopard / cheetah , a nice callback to Sequoya and Mishipeshu. This would allow you to potentially start grounding out the celerity (pokemon rules and spellcraft reveals that rock stuff will beat lightning stuff)

That's a much better idea than me standing there punching chains/walls while getting electrocuted.
Sorry I haven't been more active myself. I, too, am at a loss as to how to deal with this situation, and I've been hoping someone else would have a good plan.
Apologies for the slow reply! Last full week of school, lots of grading, logistics, etc. Busy time for a teacher.
Writing up a post to get us back on track :)
Sorry for the silent weekend. Girlfriend needed a trip to the ER and that was 7 hours of waiting around. she is better now and I have caught up on some of the lost sleep.
Sorry to hear it - appreciate the updates, as always.
AC gets a +2 from getting bigger.
the 20 is after the DR?
I don't think your DR applies if it's magical and slashing. So I think it's 20 damage straight.
Will everyone be good to post today or Monday? I'll plan on updating the round on Monday evening.
Sorry for delays. Travel always exhausts me, even just to see family. Updating today.
Hey! Sorry about my absence, job training for overnight summer camp took way more out of me than I expected. Should be posting more frequently again.
Wonderful! Take advantage of the new round! :)
I figure 4th of July, travel, etc may be affecting posting. How is everyone's availability this week?
Honestly i will be a bit erratic. My sister in law is high risk and due for her baby either today or tomorrow and my focus is all over the place. Has been the last week or so.
Understood - I will bot for Kallik/Qizz when I next update, so no worries.
I'm going to be out of town on vacation. Feel free to bot me too.
Might just want until later in the week then --- the DM shouldn't bot your guys victory when you have earned it yourselves.
Let's play it by ear. People will post as they post. I'll check back in a day or two.
As previously mentioned, I am in charge of children all day until about nowish, and tend to be a bit out of mental energy, but I'll do what I can. Only lasts for 6 more weeks, so I'll be back to full capacity in the future!
This is also a good chance to recheck that your HP , spell rounds, effects, etc are all up to date. Kallik took 20 damage from the drones , I think shoul dbe at 34 HP. Likewise Samen, the golem drones did 20 damage that counts as magical , so I think you should be at 24. Let me know if all that sounds accurate.
and Wamblee is at 24 - 5 = 19 HP after the one round of fire damage from the Sunlord, long ago.
No, I took account of the 20 damage. I had cast false life on myself ages ago, so that mostly ate through the temp HP.
Gotcha. I appreciate you keeping track.
It's been about a year since Moonfall, and I think once per year is just about right for fights this big. :) Sorry that it lagged at times, but overall this was a ton of fun - thanks everyone!
Anyway, now that we're out of combat, I'm going to endeavor to get back to more regular posting on my end.
Nephew and his momma are safe and healthy. I have been sick most of the week. I will catch up after work tomorrow. Sorry..
No need to apologize - happy to hear family is healthy, and I hope you are starting to feel better too.
Spoke to soon sister in law has been in the hospital the last few days...
Very sorry to hear it - I will continue to bot Kallik for now, no pressure. Hope she gets better soon.
Abnaki - could I get a quick update? Will it be a full 6 weeks until you can post, even a few times a week?
It's ok, I just want to make sure I understand. If you need a hiatus until late august, I would probably have Abanki go on a mystic journey (vision journey, storywalking, something like that) and you would rejoin
Abnaki is a unique and kind of crazy character (hes been through a lot!) so that's why I'm looking for a narrative thing for him to do, rather than me botting him longterm.
As I type this, would you want to try and conquer parts of the budding Fey Kingdoms and Courts while they are just beginning to bloom? :)
Let me know your thoughts!
SUN KISSED
Samen, as you commune with the Sunlord, you are filled with excruciatinglight; when it fades, you have the follow spell-like ability, ONCE per day, cast at your Level + 3 :
(this isn't a 7th level spell slot, it's just an ability once / perday)
TOO SLIPPERY TO DIE
Gabriel, anytime you are at less than half HP, you gain the following abilities:
1) EVASION (or improved evasion, if you already have it)
2) LIMITED DIM-HEALING: You gain fast healing 1, as long as you are not in bright light.
WHAT DREAMS MAY COME?
Abnaki, I have no idea what it will be until we are done in the Dream realm, or carving our a Fey kingdom, or whatever. We shall see what happens!
HERE PRETTY KITTY
Qizzlvutz,, when you (or Kallik, I can't keep track) use a summon spell for a single lion, cheetah, etc, AND you cast it at the highest level you can, it only takes a free action.
(only active when you have no other active summon spells)
Thats cool. i was thinking of having Qizz go more summon focused and that is a hella cool ability. I am working on catching up. Thank you for your patience. Seems like you all were very productive.
This weekend I am flying out to visit family. I will have my laptop but if I am holding things up feel free to bot my duo. I have no clue how busy my nieces and new nephew will keep me
Understood --- enjoy time with family 1000% and I will bot Kallik as needed.
"Eminence" is absolutely perfect for addressing a Sunlord - perfect.
Oooo, fancy treats! It'll be interesting to see how Samen trying to bring the sun back to the equal plane and Gabe trying to hide from it plays out. :)
Always a good time for a checkin! :)
1) Roll call! Who is still good with posting regularly for the foreseeable future? Gabe and Samen are definitely on my list. Thank you!
2) I'd like to RP the feast for a bit, and then figure out what our next moves are. There's at least one more situation to deal with before you could reasonably consider going after MoonLight.
3) Anything else on your minds, my beloved PCs?
Samen, as you gain followers of this new "humanist" movement you are attempting to create, I think Ancestral Regression will become more powerful (affecting a crowd who desire the change, or possibly people can keep it longer than 24 hours if they renounce their old god, etc)
All contingent of getting people to follow, or believe, etc.

Gabe definitely will not be a participant of any humanist movements... hah
We can take the weekend slow, RP as we please. I'll start a new scene and the next day on Monday or so. In the meantime,
1) Anyone you want to consult with, talk to?
2) This is a city of sorts, so you could buy reasonable supplies, talk to magicians about potential magic items that could be found, etc.
3) Any other projects, side quests
**
The next "big problem" is the Lenses that are being built on top of Uluru by agents of Moon. This will be the last major obstacle in Forest before you could potentially take the fight back to Moon in Light. We'll discuss it more in the upcoming week.
The only big item on my shopping list is a Monks Robe. It's a bit out of my price range but it could possibly be a "complete these trials" reward.
Was there any outstanding baggage with the temple from Gabe's history with them?
I think the Tribe of Peace would want to formally acknowledge the heroism of Gabriel, Abnaki, Samen, and Qizzlvutz, so I'm ok with everyone picking out a magic item that is in the 10 - 15 K range. Monk's Robe in particular is appropriate, as oreads are well known for the monasteries.
Samen, they would not have any psychic-specific gear, but I'm pretty sure you can use arcane wands just fine, as long as the spell is on your spell list.
As for the baggage with the Temple...hmm. In the wake of 1) Moon's initial infiltration of Heath's social structures, followed by 2) the massacre of the Temple, and then 3) Moon's direct assault, Hearth has been damaged physically and socially (the inquisition is flat out gone, much of the senior priest hood as well).
I would say there's no one left for Gabe to take vengeance on, but that also means no one is really looking for you, either.
I think the "people looking for him" angle would be more of what I was thinking about after more consideration, not so much revenge. Seemed like a good time to close any of that out. That being said, not sure what else Gabe would be looking to do.
Side note, I did remember about a psychic monk archtype that would fit thematically if Gabriel did decide to follow Samen on his quest to free elenity. Enlightened Monk
Nice! That would be interesting to RP and look over (monks are usually criminally underpowered compared to casters, and I would love to seeing you running 60 ft per round on walls and stuff like that; there was lots of cool stuff in 3rd edition in some of the psionic handbooks)
I also like shadow Gabriel, so I'll be interested to see whichever way you end up taking him.
If I went that way, I'd have to rebuild the monk park at least to make sure I meet all the archtype replacements with unchained. For example, I would have to pick slow fall as a ki power for it to be replaced with Ki Psionics at or close to the right level. Another thing to consider, going that rout I would end up with ki points and power points. Would you consider combining those pools?
I am also now realizing that I would be combining different psionics systems so I understand if that's a non starter for you.
It would be...interesting to say the least, to see how that all fits.
For now I'll say bare minimum that I'm open to seeing what it would look like.
I think in general I'm more flexible when it comes to in-story character upgrades, especially narratively driven ones (like deciding to free yourself of elements). I would have said no in a recruitment thread :)
I'm always in favor of making things playable and fun, so I would probably say yes to combining those two pools. Let me know if this is still something you want to pursue, and post a rough draft if you'd like to do so (no rush)
Sorry for the delay, I seem to have a lot to catch up on. Im gonna try to do that by Tuesday.
Appreciate the update! We've been holding on this scene for a bit, catching our breath after the big fight, so hopefully it will be relatively easy for you to catch up.
