I noticed a post too!

Me too. We could, I suppose, go to the Flaxseed Lodge and request a bail out GM.

Here is my submission.

Absolutely. I was hoping and waiting patiently for your return. Whatever pace you can manage is fine with me. I'm not going anywhere.

I completely understand. Sounds you have a good case for the hating real life side right now. But I'm hoping (and praying) that things turn around for you.

Thanks for the update. Much as I love real life, sometimes I hate it.

Is this game dead?

I think the belt should be worn by Al'Khain and the amulet by the wolf.

Anyone else want to try and identify anything?

Detect magic and spellcraft rolls:

Spellcraft amulet: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
Spellcraft belt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Spellcraft key: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Well then. Glad I got those rolls out of the way for the REAL spellcasters!

After seeing how poorly the eagles did, Bygonne cancels his casting of SM I and casts bless instead.

I considered chanelling but it is only 3d6 and as far as I can tell only the wolf is injured.

Though the inspire does not help the dumb eagles, the bless will. Hopefully they can hit on a 19 now!

Ha! got one hit. Go, eagles, go! Bygonne does a little monkey dance of happiness.

Bygonne casts Flurry of Eagles (Summon Monster II looking for a high roll).

I meant SM III. Missed an 'I' there.

Only one of the eagles is evolved, all are augmented. The only difference between the evolved on and the others is that the evolved one has an AC of 16 instead of 14. Big deal. The evolved one is the second one to the east of the mummy about 5' under the other eagle.

Bygonne casts Flurry of Eagles (Summon Monster II looking for a high roll).

number of eagles summoned: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4, includes bonus for superior summonning.

Oh well, 4 will have to do. Still pretty good.

Will post actions this turn for Bygonne and Eagles in another post. I really want to get the eagles in place for flanking before I'm ninja'd.

Aid, 10 temporary hp and +1 morale on attack rolls, 58 rounds remaining

Divine Favor, +2 luck attack/dmg, 9 rounds remaining
Shield of Faith, +3 deflection AC bonus, 60 rounds remaining

Don't gorget the Bull's Strength Bygonne cast on you! See post at Wed, Sep 14, 2016, 11:55 am.

This guy looks pretty nasty. Bygone is going to chance the AoE attack and move back towards the entrance and start a Summon Monster III.

*poof*

Nice, a flurrying monk mummy. Lots of undead goodness in that one. I envisioned a spray of feathers that dissolved as the summoning spell was broken. If it had been a parrot it would have been like fireworks!

Seems you are right. Only one attack and it missed. At least with its movement it can get behind the mummy and maybe grant flanking.

That's what I thought too, but the talons are the first attacks listed and they are listed as a pair. It sure makes sense that an eagle would strike with both talons. If I'm wrong, just delete the second attack. I figured more knowledgeable heads could figure out if I'm right or not.

Bygonne commands the eagle to attack then casts Bull's Strength on Al'Khain and, finally, backs off for now worried about an AOE attack.

The Eagle attacks

To Hit Talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

To Hit Talon: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

No full attack so I think it only gets the two talon attacks.

bump again

The eagle has launched!

Now might be a good time to buff if you have a protection from evil potion or something and you are the cynical sort.

Having paused for arguments, Bygone summons a ...

...and instructs it to retrieve the braid from the mummy.

"But aren't you curious? What, what indeed, could that braid be! What if the poor soul needs releasing, hmmm? Tied to that corpse for eternity, forever, always! Not right. Not right at all, no!"

Bygone seems quite impassioned, both by his curiosity and the wrongness of leaving undead lying about when you can do something about it.

"I plan to send an eagle in to snatch the braid. A plan. Any objections? Any, hmmm?"

Bygone merely scratches his armpits. No clue.

If no one steps forward with a better idea, he will summon a critter and have it fetch the braided hair, hopefully setting off any traps.

"Learn by watching. Learn by doing. Always learning, yep."

Bygone will enter and remove the rug from the top of the trap door and look for any obvious traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Quickly, before the inevitable announcement by Merisiel, Bygone points out, "Hmmm. There seems to be a hidden door over there on the floor. Yep, a door. Under the rung."

I'm indifferent. Anywhere is good to me since there is no reason to pick one over the other.

We could probably handle either is my bet, but if the GM suggests something you should follow it. With Bygone's personality he will agree with anyone and everyone, so he will be good with another plan if suggested.

"Rest first then descend. Yep, I'm good with that."

I'm back. Let's continue.

I leveled up Bygone but left the spells expended that he has cast already. Kinda weird, but it works.

I have yet to figure out which of my characters I will be applying the chronicle to. What level will it be applicable for? Can you apply it towards a character that you have played during the time period and that is lower level in anticipation for when the character reaches the level for the sheet? Or must I apply it to a character that has been idle the whole time?

Are we headed back for training, and, if not, are our spells still expended? I vaguely recall your mentioning something about leveling up in a post a long time ago, but I could be wrong.

Bygone summons
Giant Frogs: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Drat. No extras today.

Bygone gives it the command to tongue grab the Grioth.

CMB: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Double drat.

Feeling far more comfortable now that the cavalry has arrived, Bygone slips back through the door and begins a Summon Monster III. Trying to be stealthy, he is atypically quiet and says nothing, though he is unable to be entirely quiet due to the casting that must continue for a number of seconds.

Stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Know Planes: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 looking for special senses/abilities

After a couple of monkey squeals, Bygone says "Oops!" then reacts quickly, casts Invisibility on himself, and sneaks back a bit (half move 15').

stealth: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Seeing Merisiel slip away to the northwest, Bygone steps into the room and waves his hands at the creatures.

"Hey you! Were talking to you! What are the terms of passage?"

Maybe that will help her sneak up on them. Though what she's going to do when she gets there I don't know.

knowledge arcana or planes: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

"Oh, my. What are those things? Do you guys speak?"

He addresses the question in common to the odd looking creatures.

Is this game still active?

You check the room, but apart from the old training dummy you don't find anything useful.

only one door left in this level :)

"Shall we check out the last door. Ooh, Hmm?"

Merisiel watches the others and then adds in "I'm a good aim"

She points at the door. "Want to check the dummy room some more, or head back the other way?"

"I say check the room."

Bygone will take one then.

How may of them are there?

I put Bygone at +6, and he could use an effective attack other than summoning now that his spiritual weapon is used up.

Though annoyed he was so wrong in his guess, Bygone is also excited that the beads will be so useful.

"That does sound very useful. Quite, quite. I'm a decent aim, though no sling for hitting long. Nope."
