Eberron Official Campaign

"Fire that moves. If we need to look for the schema in there, how will we fight something like that?"

That arcana roll should give us something.

"Oh. I saw it...

know:arcana: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
I thought the forums/site was going down today? Is it in the PM?

I think just the store went down.

"If it's alive, can it be harmed by weapons?" he asks.

"A living spell. Yes. It is technically a living creature and thus can be harmed and killed. It's just made of fire..."

Usgar is confused.

“So it won’t hurt us?! You go and check!! You talk to it!!“ he says a little uncertain.

"How do you hurt a living creature made of fire? Weapons will pass right through it. Do we need water? "

"Talking fire?! Ooooh! Yesss! Fizzle will go talk to talking fire!" she eagerly volunteers waving her arms

Oh great GM, with that roll, what would Lia know about living fire spells.

Oh great GM, with that roll, what would Lia know about living fire spells.

Knowledge: Arcana is certainly the skill that helps identify living spells. With that roll, you know water can probably kill it. You also know that a living spell is unpredictable.

"Well. Water will kill it. I can conjure water from a short distance away all day... the only downside is it will be burning us until it dies..."

"What do you all say? Do we fight this fire creature?"

I don't remember exactly how living spells work, and maybe never did. I do remember them being a pain in the butt.
I imagine dispel magic would also hurt it.
Most of us are straight damage dealers. It probably has some kind of DR or regeneration, but Usgar, Escher and Ayla are pretty heavy hitters.
.
Do we want this fight? Right now I don't see a way to open the other doors. Maybe our next key is hiding in the room at the end of the living spell's hall.

You'll have to get creative.

"Talking fire?! Ooooh! Yesss! Fizzle will go talk to talking fire!" she eagerly volunteers waving her arms

Usgar is a little pushed after hearing FizFiz.

“Okay, you go. You think you’re bold! I will also talk to it. I go … you can come, too, but be careful!“

He takes out his water container as a defensive measure and walks to the fire.

“Hey you!! You! What do you do here?!? Can you talk?!“

"Well. I guess we shall see what effect several gallons of water has on it.."

"You are both very brave. I can help you, I think. Usgar, this sword is magic. It might be better than your claws in damaging a living spell. And I know a story that might inspire you. Uthred the Grower faced a terrible fire-dragon in the mountains east of the Shadowlands. For years Uhtred's people had knwon of the dragon, but it seldom came to their lands. Then in the summer after the Great Wave submerged Oystertown, the dragon began raiding the villages in Uthred's valley..."

The +1 longsword's no better than Usgar's magic claws, but I don't think Karsh'e knows that yet. If Usgar declines, he'll offer the sword to the party at large.
Choose to listen to the story and Karsh'e will cast heroism on Usgar and Fizfiz. Basically +2 to everything.

It doesn't talk.

Usgar turns around and shrugs.

"Maybe it is a coward! Coward! FizFiz is also not afraid! So let us move on."

Usgar returns to the room and carefully circumvents the fire being to check the room for any clues or items.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

"Yes! Fiz no coward, only thing Fiz no trust are the read bundles. Stealing her think thoughts!" she crosses her arms at this

Usgar seems apologetic.

”Ahh Fizfiz!! Of course you’re not a coward… you dared to … well, and I ran … no, I meant this fire thing!! It’s afraid of us maybe?!“ he says while he’s continuing to search.

Lia watches the living fire.
"We have no desire to harm you. Are you here for a reason?"

The living fire changes colors. From bright yellow orange to red.

"I honestly have no idea what that means but it has not attacked..."
She turns back to the living spell, "Do you have a purpose here? Is there any thing we can do to assist?"

Usgar continues searching but hopes that the others have an eye on the creature.

Any result for the perception check GM?

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Karsh'e watches the exchange, trying to divine what the spell is trying to say.

Escher thinks, and asks the fire, "Is this about a person?" If there is no response, he will continue, "Is this about a place?" If that gets no response, he'll go on to, "Is this about an object?"

Usgar continues searching but hopes that the others have an eye on the creature.

Any result for the perception check GM?

Sorry, I just now got on. I wonder what the forum reboot is going to look like and how it's going to take shape.

The fire turns green at Escher's question. The little flaming sphere won't come near you because of the bucket of water.

considering the site was down for about a week, I think when they get to the forum, it'll be down for a lot longer....
