Doc Evil was a great GM when he had the time for it. But like a lot of us real life intercedes. He has dropped us twice now. I reluctantly agree that this game is likely dead. I would have loved to play it out to the end. Thanks everyone for a great run.
Cadas intended to kill the laughing giant to get it out of the fight because she believes the fight could last longer than Robin's spell. I'd have liked to see how it played out as well. Cadas has a few standard action summons to help and distract and lots of healing channels, some of which can be done as move actions. She finally was able to cast her Righteous Might spell and with that new trident is the best fighter she has ever been. I hoped the wall of force would at least cause the lamia matriarch to use her standard to get around it and maybe be even leave her stranded for a few rounds.
We seem to have paused. Can we pick back up?
Cadas casts Righteous Might and closes on the laughing giant.
Cadas avoids most of the fire damage, but now seeing how this fight will likely do decides to divide things up in hopes of taking one enemy at a time. She casts Wall of stone just to the east of Adolina, hopefully blocking the group from sight from all but the closer giant. she adopts the +2 to hit and AC from her deities blessing and advances. The wall will be 10-12' high and 20-25 feet wide, following that contour line on the map. Wall of Stone: Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S, M/DF (a small block of granite) EFFECT Range medium (100 ft. + 10 ft./level)
DESCRIPTION This spell creates a wall of rock that merges into adjoining rock surfaces. A wall of stone is 1 inch thick per four caster levels and composed of up to one 5-foot square per level. You can double the wall’s area by halving its thickness. The wall cannot be conjured so that it occupies the same space as a creature or another object. Unlike a wall of iron, you can create a wall of stone in almost any shape you desire. The wall created need not be vertical, nor rest upon any firm foundation; however, it must merge with and be solidly supported by existing stone. It can be used to bridge a chasm, for instance, or as a ramp. For this use, if the span is more than 20 feet, the wall must be arched and buttressed. This requirement reduces the spell’s area by half. The wall can be crudely shaped to allow crenelations, battlements, and so forth by likewise reducing the area. Like any other stone wall, this one can be destroyed by a disintegrate spell or by normal means such as breaking and chipping. Each 5-foot square of the wall has hardness 8 and 15 hit points per inch of thickness. A section of wall whose hit points drop to 0 is breached. If a creature tries to break through the wall with a single attack, the DC for the Strength check is 20 + 2 per inch of thickness. It is possible, but difficult, to trap mobile opponents within or under a wall of stone, provided the wall is shaped so it can hold the creatures. Creatures can avoid entrapment with successful Reflex saves.
Before Adolina can move Cadas casts Blessing of Fervor on the group and moves up herself, accepting the bonus to movement from the spell. Stay close if you want to be in my circle. She advises.
First, back from travels and jet lagged but here. I got home after a 24 hour day of travel at around midnight and then had to get up to work today. Ugg. I did a quick look at the character Avdol. I personally have no issue with the prestige class feats and have used them before myself in a home game. I am a little concerned how low your melee damage is, but then again its higher than the wizard you are replacing. lol. Same with AC I guess. Just do not get too confident and thing you can tank. :) My one real concern is your skill point distribution. you have a 20 int but only two solid knowledge skill (and Spellcraft of course.) Now we have to survive this fight so that you can join us.
I will be traveling home tomorrow. It’s a long day for of travel and I doubt I will be able to post until Monday.
Doc. Evil’s call of course but if you wanted to come in as an arcane caster I would be down with that. But how about you slightly Retool Marcellano to your liking and play him. Makes for a easy fit. I did this in another game, taking over for a fighter, and it worked great.
Cadas cautiously follows.
Cadas sacrifices Summon Monster IV to heal Adolina.
That seems reasonable Marcellano. Cadas nods If we are successful we can later decide what is best. she adds, careful not to mention putting down the undead in front of it.
Cadas her magic but continues to close. If you truly control this creature perpahs we can use it against the giants. How strong is your control?
Cadas moves again, but only 20'. When she stops moving she calls upon the energy of Gozreh to smite the undead. Captain Bayden, we came to rescue you at the request of your lover. Does that still mean anything to you? If so, stand down.
Well, my issues are not yet settled but I am back home and should be able to post daily until I leave for a vacation on October 29. Back Nov. 10. Limited internet while traveling but I will try to check in every other day or so.
Cadas is forced to double move again to see what is going on. Seeing the undead she tries to recall details of what it might be.
Cadas moves again with Robin wondering about the wisdom of letting the scout get so far ahead.
Cadas runs along with Robin as well, concerned about the noise they are making.
Cadas sacrafices healing flames to cast a cure critical on Adolina, saying Blessings of Gozreh as she does so. She also recommends Robin cast some heals from his spells or wands.
She will also mention to the hags that should her mission be successful there is a chance she might be able to raise their sister from the dead, if they can help with the material components.
I wanted to note that some family stuff has been pulling me out of town and away from my computer. I hope all that is settled and I can get back to daily posting.
Cadas offers healing before Adolina takes off.
Satisfied with the hag's responses Cadas waits for a final answer before accepting their dead and moving to take care of the stone giant.
you spoke of aid, and yet you offer none. Cadas notes I think we would find adi against these ogres and giants among your possessions if we should finish you. You must offer more. Tell us of what we will face goin forward.
Cadas waits to hear the answer.
It is true that we did not come here to fight you. We look for ogres and giants, and a human man. A soldier. Perhaps a prisoner. Perhaps dead. Do you know of such a man? And if you can help us against the ogres and giants then perhaps we can be allies.
As soon as the fog clears Cadas' spell goes off and Adolina can make an escape artist check at +20.
Cadas full attacks red again.
As the fog lifts and Cadas has line of sight she will cast Liberating Command on Adolina as an Immediate Action.
Cadas, seeing the edge of the red hag steps into the fog to gain concealment and full attacks.
I am back from my Con and catching up.
Color me interested. I have played exactly one game of 2E and have bought the book. Still learning. How much time do we have to apply? On a related note to that question: I wanted to give an update that I'll be at Dragon Con this weekend and will not be able to post much if at all. And this weekend starts Wednesday for me. :) I'll be back and on a regular schedule Tuesday.
After arriving in the room Cadas casts divine power before advancing.
Speaking through the message link Cadas ponders <<Slaves. I wonder if they would fight against their captors...>>
Cadas advances. <<They?>> she questions as she moves.
I remember doing that! It was worse when it was the youngest and we officially became empty-nesters...
the necklace is magic but I am not quite sure what it is. Maybe necromancy... Cadas notes as Adolina leaves to explore. [b]Leave it for now. Its too large for one of us to wear anyway.[/ooc]
After the fight Cadas pauses to look at the statue casting Detect Magic as she does. Or strait? I see three ways to go. Cadas notes. But I am thinking left.
Cadas nods, stiffening slightly as she prepares for violence.
And I have a silence. Perhaps Adolina needs to come back for it before we begin all this? Cadas adds, not wanting to pull the entire cavern at once.
Not willing to give away their scout, Cadas resists the urge to investigate the statue until her return. She tests the connection of the Messsage spell speaking a brief word to the party's wizard. Are we still connected? she whispers.
I recall. Was thinking it was more of a reincarnation. But since she is a ghost I am not sure how all that is gonna work. :)
As promised I went back to review what resources were used so far. But it seems we are not repeating the first combat but may be repeating the second? So I have broken down what people cast for combat 1 and then Combat 2. Can we get a clarification about combat two, which I think was two ogres and a giant. Spells up: Heroism - 100 minutes per person (used 4 2nd level spells)
First Combat:
Cast by Robin
Marcellano
Second Combat:
Robin
Marcellano
Cadas stands shivering but only just and enjoys the break from the wind. She turns her back to the cave and conjures a small light on a coin but covers it before it can be seen.
I am good restarting as you suggest. But also I do not mind reviewing the buffs, hits and spells cast for the group and summarizing it for all if we do not.
Glad you are back at the helm. I already feel more connected to the story. A quick point - Cadas did activate the devise at the dam, costing her a level and destroying the pit fiend (from memory). But I bet you got that already. And destroying is likely not the right word - sent home maybe? I played through this game with my home group years ago so some of it is familiar and I confuse what happened to Cadas with what I recall playing a ranger 5 years ago. I do recall the fight with the Black Magga but was not sure when it was to happen. Sorry to hear we missed it.
