Oh...and GM...could Goran use Vanessa's wand to heal her without any repercussions? should the need arise...and getting a healer's kit as well as a dose each of antiplague and antitoxin

I believe it is okay to use Vanessa's wand of inflict wounds as the spell is on the cleric's spell list.

Any other questions/purchases/etc. before heading to the burned-out temple?

As the Lady withdraws her hand from Goran's greeting kiss, she graces him with her trademark dazzling smile. "Yes, in fact she's a vonderfully talented vizard, and incredibly intelligent."

But at Spica's puns, she groans. "Ach! I retract zhat last compliment, dahling," she says with a loving laugh.

"No, Drendle. I don't tsink ve need anytsing else. Alvays a pleazhure, dearie," she says breezily as she blows the Venture Captain a kiss on her way out the door.

She grins back at Vanessa, in anticip ... ation at what she said.

Oooof. Vanessa. I saw that one coming a mile away. Digging up that old chestnut? That one has been done sooooo many times it's been done to death ... or undeath perhaps. A pun as a Haunt? Fascinating possibility.

To Goran she says. Apparently they stand in a circle and have to come up with a pun about a given subject. They believe that if it's good and original enough, Zon-Kuthon will bless the punster with the ability to cause pain to the others because of the pun. If you can't come up with a pun, you're out and subject to later ridicule unless you were previously blessed. Last person standing in the Ruling Punster.

Personally I like puns because one needs to be well read and quick witted. It is said that the pun is the more intellectual form of humour

I have yet to master the more intricate form though. It's called a Feghoot after a writer who published a whole series of them. Other writers have since copied this form and there are quite a few examples in my library. Basically a Feghoot is a short story that ends in a pun, the more unexpected the better She pauses for a moment There is this story about Stein the Wizard who was sentenced to seven days imprisonment for something or other. On the day before his sentence, he used some sort of time spell to skip ahead seven years and one day. When he reappeared there was this argument about whether he had served his sentence or not. The Adjudicator finally settled it by saying "A niche in time saves Stein"

Devil We Know | Ashes of Discovery (Hellknights) | Ashes of Discovery (Desna)

After a hurried early morning rush to gather supplies in Absalom, several days in the blustery Inner Sea, and another spent weaving through the bureaucracy of the Taldan customs rituals, you find yourself walking through a chilly, early morning rain storm and approaching what the vagabond locals say is the location of the burned-out temple to Sarenrae.

Rain patters down in sheets over the scorched skeleton of a once majestic temple. Walls of thick, blackened masonry stand tall and abandoned, with gaping wounds revealing where stained glass windows once caught the morning sun. The roof has collapsed and most of its remnants are long gone. Only large, immovable remnants of the crumbling masonry remain in the rubble piles scattered throughout the ruin.

All that remains inside this ruin are rocks and chunks of wood either too worn down and ruined to be of use or too heavy to carry away. There are signs that this place has been used in the past for shelter, but it has since completely collapsed, and most of the residents of the vagabond camp seem to give it wide berth.

Two sets of ruined stairs in the temples south wall lead up to a once proud pulpit. At the back of the pulpit, an enormous stone lid, several hundred pounds in weight, has been pulled off a set of stairs leading down into darkness.

Map of the burned-out temple now on Slides.

The former consul of Oppara, Magistros Sebastus Hustavan, is here, currently being menaced by a pack of wild dogs. Hustavan is well over 6 feet tall, shockingly thin, and quite old. His head is balding and fringed by frizzled gray hair. His chin and cheeks are covered in several weeks’ worth of beard growth, the gray hairs standing out against his pale, leathery skin. He wears long white robes, muddy, torn, and ragged, and wears what looks to be a blue sash tied around his waist as a belt. The dogs are mangy, dirty things that wander the fringes of the vagabond camp in search of food or easy prey.

When you arrive, Hustavan stands on the pulpit, which stands ten feet above the remains of the temple's stone floor. He’s wielding a long piece of wet, rotting wood and is just barely keeping a pack of ferocious canines at bay.

As you enter the temple ruins, the creatures abandon Hustavan to his perch and turn to attack.

Knowledge (nature) (DC 13):
These canines are dire wolves, which are enormous versions of normal wolves. The dire wolf represents the wolf in its most primal form. These creatures follow the same basic behaviors of regular wolves, but are much more aggressive.

Unlike the others, Spica revels in the rain as it keeps her skin moist - which is why she's wearing robes which reveal more leg and arm than usual.

On the sea trip, she spent much of the time in a large barrel full of seawater as an undine that isn't in water every week at least, is a very unhappy undine.

She had topped up on scrolls (Fly, Dispel Magic, and two of Comprehend Languages)

I'm sorry, a busy week that ended with a 12-hour flight. I am gradually being drawn back into the PbP.

Nikita (Ragathiel's paladin with a strange accent, bald and with a revolver on his belt) goes inside, looking at the animals with regret, which is not present when looking at the degraded aristocrat.

On the move, pulling out a revolver, he shoots (at yellow). The thunder of the shot resounds under the arches of an abandoned temple...

It has been a crazy past few days for me and it looks like that may be more so for some of you. Please do take care of yourselves, your health, and of those who depend on you. Thank you for keeping me apprised and notified as to the potential need for botting. It is much appreciated, but please take whatever time you need to tend to real life.

@GM there's a duplicate "Creature (red)" in the order tracker. I presume the second one is supposed to be Blue since I don't think that one has acted yet.

"D'oh! Dumb dog, thinking I'm the fall guy!" Grunjar grunts.

Yes, Grunjar was attacked - therefore, he also took the 9 damage, not Derf.
In addition, the red dog should still be blinded until Goran's initiative count comes up again, right? Might be relevant for Nikita's turn...

PS: I like puns (and alliteration), too! And I hope my attempt to make a pun is not too poor - I'm not a native speaker... ;-)

Leave my friend alone. Nikita squints and two loud bangs are heard again inside the temple...

44 HP total on the first shot

Having knocked out the brains of a wolf dangerously clinging to Grunjar with one shot, paladin wasted no time shooting at the second wolf. I warned you. Not that he expected the wolf to understand him (especially when it's dead), but he really warned.

Spica looks at Blue who is desperately trying to break free.

You're showing some dogged determination there. Maybe you'd better woof these down

Seeing how easily her colleagues dispatched da' dire doggies (assuming that's what they are), the Lady brushes the cobwebs from her deep black leather outfit and forgoes casting any more spells at the one still fighting helplessly against its own shadows.

"It's too bad ve couldn't take von ov zhem vith us. Zhey'd make excellent pets for my estates."

"Unlike zhat mangy tsing hiding up zhere," she says with a dismissive wave toward where Hustavan cowers in fear.

Derf attempt to move to the thing, acrobatically, so as to avoid a bite.

"Don't worry, Magistros, soon these dogs will not bother you anymore."

"Your command of the undead seems most unmatched, My Lady!" The former Magistros cries out in response. "Now kill, the last one, won't you?"

Grunjar wrote:
"Don't worry, Magistros, soon these dogs will not bother you anymore."

"Yes, thank you. Much appreciated. Though, I'd prefer less words at present and a few more stabs, if it's not too much of a bother?" he pleads.

As the others discuss its fate, Derf avoids its jaws, but fails to blind it.

The remaining wolf tries to break free.

Say 'please' Spica replies with a scowl. Didn't your parents teach you manners and politeness

She holds her spells for now, using her Pearl of Power to recall a magic missile.

The Lady continues holding her spells to allow the boys to deal with the last puppy. Though in truth, her ability to affect animals magically is very limited. Well, unless you count certain men behaving badly, then she can certainly deal with those kinds of "animals."

But she, too, shares Spica's pique at the former Magistros' attitude. She turns her full attention on the fallen noble, her glare fixing him in place. "Mister Hustavan," she begins with a clear and unmistakably imperial emphasis on the commonness of his new title. "Ve are now your betters, and you vill treat and speak to my colleagues accordingly." Her flat tone makes it clear that she will not accept any argument on this point.

"As you note, my powers over zhe undead are significant. Don't make me turn zhem on you,"

Bluff that she could use her 'powers over undead' on him: 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (11) + 19 = 30

Spica has to grin, even though she knows that she is most likely to be sleeping with the fishies in Vanessa's aquarium for all those puns. Still .... it could be worse.

Once I learn 'Wall of Force' it'll be time to build a bigger aquarium she thinks to herself.

COMBAT OVER

All that remains inside this ruin are rocks and chunks of wood
either too worn down and ruined to be of use or too heavy to carry away. There are signs that this place has been used in the past for shelter, but it has since completely collapsed, and most of the residents of the vagabond camp seem to give it wide berth.

Two sets of ruined stairs in the temples south wall lead up to a once proud pulpit. At the back of the pulpit, an enormous stone lid, several hundred pounds in weight, has been pulled off a set of stairs leading down into darkness.

The former consul of Oppara, Magistros Sebastus Hustavan, shockingly thin, and quite old, stands well over 6 feet tall at full height. However, upon the death of the last wolf, Hustavan drops to his knees and begins sobbing.

Hustavan is a broken shell of his once proud, arrogant self. His head is balding and fringed by frizzled gray hair. His chin and cheeks are covered in several weeks’ worth of beard growth, the gray hairs standing out against his pale, leathery skin.

He wears long white robes, muddy, torn, and ragged, and wears what looks to be a blue sash tied around his waist as a belt. He drops the long piece of wet, rotting wood he held, which just barely kept the dogs at bay.

Spica does what she can to comfort the old man, even giving him a hug.

Shhhhhh. It's okay now. So, would you please tell us how you got into this mess?
