After Ala'Ihys asks his first question she says, "Yes now that you have been restored! I mean Khamsin still has its prison, but we are all right."

Was Ala'Ihys able to use the fleece to liberate Khamsin?

Yes. As only the three of got turned to gold.

Nice! Now I need to level up the NPCs...

I currently have too much of a writes block to contribute much, sorry!

Feel free to bot me along, I may come back in the future.

Ok thanks for letting us know Vivi, we hope to see you soon!

On a different note, I may have a new player joining us.

Well Nex likely had a few back doors for himself. Let's go with the ancient gateway opening and shunting you into the Demi plane. You find yourself in a galley of automaton minotaurs pulling oars, you see stairs leading to the top of the ship.

Or...
More likely, you come out of the gateway and see a strange new world. Above you see a convex lens of water that is just immense. Some water falls from it... you even see a galley fall from the edge. There is likely miles between them and you.
Then you feel a hand on your shoulder and a quiet soothing feminine voice, "Don't worry all will be explained shortly. We can wait for them if you wish."

Hmmm, a little confused, was that post supposed to be in game? Also were we to read the DM notes: and follow up in game?

That was GM's proposal for introducing my character. I'll move the interaction to game play now

Ahhh, thank you! That answers my first question, now I'll go have another cup of coffee as we contemplate the second :)

No don't read the spoiler when it labels DM notes!

I will try to update tomorrow as my time is limited due to many factors.

Sorry folks, my time has been flush with work and holiday activities for my students. I will likely not be able to post much tomorrow night either with my energy likely being low from the daily concerts and Robotics final projects. I get through this week and will have two weeks off to enjoy the holidays, family, and post to my hearts content.

GM Wolf, should I make up what item I broke into this pocket dimension to attempt to find and liberate, or would you like to add something flavorful on your own?

I liked the portal archway idea.

Go ahead and choose it!

Wait, what portal archway idea? A portable portal like bugs bunny would carry? What did you have in mind? I was perusing what items I thought could be found associated with Nex, but the only viable option was a Cube of Nex

Also, just fyi, 'Jack" is the name that I give people that I don't want to know my name.

I was going with the idea you went through an ancient archway, which was a back door for Nex to get into Kakishron, though not out of it.

I would say either divination and illusion cubes since they are lost.

I think that the illusion cube would be enticing enough to cause Bahram to go though a one way portal.

Though maybe you didn't know it was a one way portal? ;)

That is the most likely scenario. I don't think Bahram would likely admit that, though.

Happy Birthday Weekend, GM Wolf!!!

Thank you!!! Here is to being 40!

Woot!

She seems a bit startled by such an introduction,

Ala'Ihys's introduction was probably more impressive when he was a paladin (in PFS) and had a higher charisma.

Ha! Ala'lhys is also a retired PFS character! Bahram could have some stories to share with him.

Welcome to club 40's, GM Wolf. It's not so bad, lol.

I almost feel compelled to launch into one of those, "I remember 40 ..." speeches, but yeah no

Gosh it's been so long ago, I think I could describe that year, It sort of runs into the rest of them....

Lahapraset's small cache of treasure consisting of various items and trophies won from her long war with the genies.

Within lies an alabaster coffer worth 200 gp
containing 1,100 gp, 230 pp, an ivory comb worth 70 gp,
a pair of silver earrings set with silver pearls worth 500
gp, a silver medallion inlaid with the seal of Mouhannad
Iqilma (a long-dead merchant-prince of Katapesh) worth
130 gp, a gold pendant set with a large opal worth 1,200
gp, and a single plain gold earring worth 50 gp. In
addition, a jade box inlaid with gold filigree worth 700
gp contains 24 sticks of rare incense worth 5 gp each as
well as a potion of cat’s grace, two potions of fly, three vials
of oil of soften earth and stone, a wand of stone shape (32
charges), a wand of restoration (28 charges), and a wand of
dimension door (19 charges).

Who is holding what?!

I can use the wand of dimension door no problem.
The other two wands I would need to try to umd at +8.
I have limited flight with My armor so someone else can use the potions of flight. We should probably split up the oil of soften Earth and Stone. The jewelry and such I'm imagining we're going to hold on to to possibly sell after word.

Bahram would like The wand of dimension door and one oil soften Earth and Stone. I can take more of the items if no one else can use better.

Wish
Just to make sure I understand things. The armor definitely has one curse, but it could have up to three? Do I get to decide that? If I meet all three courses, then I get the bonus for that day? What happens if I can't bathe and apply a holy water before noon? I just don't get the bonus, or something bad happens?

Oh no, it is Cursed, but the curses you can ignore at no ill effects. If you fulfill the three specifications then you unlock the ability of your choice.

If you fail one of the three specifications, then the ability stops working for you. In the case at noon, you would have to wait another day before attempting that specification again.

I have a Handy Haversack so I can hold the treasure for now.

I will take the wand of stone shape (32 charges),

I will take the wand of restoration (28 charges).

Oh, okay. It will still be a normal celestial armor, just not the added effect if all three specifications aren't met. That's very interesting. Now, that third curse. I'll give it a think.

Yeah, basically when I roll for curses, if you get a 1, then you get a curse. If I roll a 20 you gain the beneficial curse. More 1's more curses. More 20's more benefits or less limiters.

Once you put on the suit of armor you would innately know of the curse specifications. Though not the hidden ability. Of course the players knows just not the character.

It does gain a curse. One that I hate the most: Delusion: The user believes the item is what it appears to be, yet it actually has no magical power other than to deceive. The user is mentally fooled into thinking the item is functioning and cannot be convinced otherwise without the casting of remove curse.

So, he thinks the magical bow is now holy and will do extra to evil creatures. Anyway for him to figure out it isn't?

Spellcraft DC 31 by anyone, except for Ala'lhys. When the remove curse spell is used then you see the delusion.

Merry Christmas make a wish for your character!

I have to get the Thanksgiving bonuses out too!

Bonus time: What is your favorite food for this holiday.

Sweet treat/dessert, +2 bonus skill points
Turkey +1 str
Stuffing, +2 bonus skill points
Mashed potatoes +1 Int
Green beans/vegi +1 Con
Deviled eggs/egg thing +1 Cha
Olives +2 bonus skill points
The drinks +1 wis
Cranberries +1 dex

Ala'Ihys wish that the curse was not ever applied to your weapon. Also answer the question if you want it to shed light.

I think Davod will wish to be Sublime.

All the sweet Christmas treats are the best!

I think Davod will wish to be Sublime.

Hey, if we can wish that hard, so would Ala'Ihys!

Still going with grandma's shredded cheesy potatoes!

Grandma used to make a cranberry salad that only she and I really liked. That's a warm memory.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Additional curse/requirement: wings must be used once each day, or it ceases to function?

and yet no bonus for serving/loving Ham for the Holiday

DJyn would wish to be able to conjure food (like a real djinnn)

Sounds good!

---
Ham works as Turkey! I had a glazed ham this year!

Yup Sublime for Davod and Ala'Ihys! Go ahead and apply it.
Djyn you want the ability to create food as a cleric of your level, or was there a specific ability?

Now we have a team of 5 sublimes!!! Davod knows the power of that! You all can channel a lot, only 1d6 of healing unless you have channel energy as a class feature.

AMMENDED: Djyn wants to be able to Create Food, Water, and Wine at CL9 1/day

Template applied! Thank you, GM Wolf! Did you mean to Davod to have only a 1d6 to Channel Energy, instead of 3d6 as a 6th level cleric?

Are you a cleric, paladin, or other class that uses channel energy? If not you only channel 1d6 of healing with each channel.

hmmm now I have to go see if inquisitors have channel energy :)

My posting may be slow for a couple of days, I still intend to check the boards a couple of times a day, but I'm not living at the computer. Don't wait for me to make the decisions and if we get in combat bot me if needed.

Both my wife and mom have come down with covid. My mom (86) was almost unresponsive so we called the squad, she's at the hospital. I'll end up being there a bit and taking care of my wife, thus not at the computer as much as usual and I hate posting on my phone.
