Erd's page

Are they wearing armor or carrying weapons?

Erd drinks one of her potions, then stores Bili in her banner. She follows Sun away as best she is able.

Take 10 while invisible for a 24 as well. Becomes a 4 once the 3-minute potion wears off.

"Let us go where we landed," Erd says, ponderously. She's still getting used to having gravity again.

Well . . . he might escape, but we can just follow him from there. I don't want to get caught like he did! You guys alright letting the githyankis handle this?

Erd nods. "Good plan, Garren. I can pretend to be a guard."

Hm . . . here's where an arcane caster would've been convenient. If we had some polymorphs we could get the special treatment. Anyway, should we go and try to give evidence against Amman? I feel like that could end up with us on the block as well.

"I agree," Erd says, floating off towards that area.

"Or whatever is IN our way." Erd and Bili turn back to mist and follow Sun to the city.

If anyone else is doing Stealth, roll for us . . . not that it's likely to help.

Crawling out of the monster's head, Erd whistles to Bili and straps herself back in. She appraises the eye. "It is small enough for Bili's saddlebags. Test the weight."

As long as it weighs less than a ton she'll store it along with the half-elves.

Alright, my rolls are in the "If stuff resizes" spoiler.

Resizing is a special ability that Nicos homebrewed. If it had an "original" size, then yes the armor would probably return to that size . . . but if the resizing just adapts to the wearer's current size, then it wouldn't be able to magically resize when I shrink.

Which adjacent open space does it move me to? And I guess I need to know now, what happens to resizing gear when you get shrunk in an antimagic field?

Bite (shaken): 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 14 - 2 = 13 Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Hoof (shaken): 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 12 - 2 = 25 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 Hoof (shaken): 1d20 + 12 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 2 = 21 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Bili's Round 2: Full attack (full-round action) and five-foot step to start moving into a flank with Sun or Erd (no action).

Ah . . . then in the interest of not having to figure out what happens to a resizing magic armor when you change size in a place that prevents magic, Erd moves around behind the creature rather than following Sun. To-hit drops down to 42 thanks to shaken.

ALso yeah I forgot about banner's bonus. +2 vs. fear to everyone, not that it helps Bili or I.

I as well. What's the radius on the antimagic?

Erd vs. frightful presence (excluding magic item stuff): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16
Bili's save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Sun, did you get the banner bonus in that charge?

Erd follows Sun, roaring at the beast and making a swipe for its eye with her starmetal longsword.

Using a challenge. Bili will also sacrifice maneuverability to get a 20 foot fly speed (40 ft/round). If the creature's gargantuan or less, and overrunning is even possible in the Astral Plane, and we have enough movement, we'll try to overrun it (and make rolls later). Otherwise this is just a vanilla Spring Attack, and we end 10' away from the beast.

1/3
Longsword (challenge): 1d20 + 23 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 23 + 3 = 44 Damage (as one, Spirited Charge, sandstorm, mounted mastery, challenge): 6d6 + 33 + 39 + 24 ⇒ (2, 1, 6, 5, 4, 4) + 33 + 39 + 24 = 118 +1 to-hit and +3 to damage if this thing is Huge or Large.

Erd's Round 1: Challenge (swift action) and spring attack using as one (full-round action).

Bili's Round 1: As one movement (full-round action).

We provoke no AOOs from this creature, Erd has +4 dodge vs. AOOs due to movement and -2 vs. anyone but the beast, and Bili's AC is as normal.

Is that divine favor or blessing of fervor, Auron?
Also . . . I oughta get a real polearm for situations like this.

Erd absorbs Oghma's blessing, knowing that Bili will as well, and kicks her mount towards the beast. "Auron, this thing is okay to stand by?"

Well we've got 100 ft/round over it, maybe. Let's say we zip off, let it chase us, and revert back to corporeal form in time to whup it?

Erd points Bili "up" and the wind rises, gusting them off away from the monster. When they have a big enough lead, the two turn back into flesh and Erd straps herself into the saddle, drawing her sword and shield.

Creature link still isn't working for me :c Try uploading somewhere else?

"Bad! Auron make me real again!?"

I think Auron can dismiss the spell but otherwise we should get far enough away that we have five rounds to re-corporealize before it gets to us. Sun's fine without it but the rest of us could use SOME kind of mobility.

My napkin calculations say that takes like 1.6 hours, so if Amman hasn't made it yet we may have quite a lot of time for scoping stuff out.

Erd watches the fetus as the group approaches.

The best thing is that Amman can't spam dimension door here . . .

"Amman will be killed," Erd says, finally slowing down. "That is the plan."

Sounds good, Lemmy.

Hmm . . . actually they'd do the same, at a light load. Trouble is that if you put all of us on Bili, she goes up to a medium load, and if you put all of us on Sun, he goes down to 5 feet per round (Erd weighs nearly a ton).
If you're willing to cast air walk twice, Bili can drag Erd and Sun can drag Garren and you and we'll get there at the same time. But maybe it'd just be better to take the two days and save spells.

So a couple of days at 20 ft. speed = 4 hours of Sun running?
Bili doesn't need new food!

Erd carefully rethinks direction and slows next to Sun, falling in little circles. "Tie me up, but hurry!" Her circle loses consistency, and she begins to fall back past the monk.

Erd claws towards the group, now "below" them, but suddenly begins to plummet away. "Aah! Auron, I get it now! Help!"

Is this the same as in 3.5 where you had to make like Will saves or something to figure out flying?

Erd concentrates, but can't seem to drift back to Bili's back. "Very well. In," she utters, storing the huge white horse back in her banner. "I do not want to lose horse," she says, brow furrowed, still drifting.

"Then we go." Erd tries kicking Bili forward, but instead begins to drift off the saddle. ". . . how may we go?"

"Did Amman hurt you?"

"Amman hurt an elf and killed people, too. He harms the weak."

"Let's go back to room of Amman. Find that roguish human and beat him."

Should we go through the portal then?

Sounds like something we'd need miracle for, maybe. Or we could find a priest of the god of death and ask them to pray really hard?

62/138

I'd already described her as charging and just needed information from Nicos to resolve the action.

Erd's ?Will? save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 +2 if it's arcane or divine magic
Bili's Will save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

"Get what?" Erd kicks Bili back away from the annoying statue, examining her blade carefully.

Any golem blood? ;)

I recommend Erd to have some other option in combat beyond charging.

Don't I?

The throne's tempting but . . . if possible I'd like to avoid ghost AOOs.

"Well this is what I'm going to do!" Erd whirls her glittering blade as she gets close, letting Bili run straight over the millennia-old art piece.

Erd's ride-by charge attack (charge, banner, elevation, colossus hunter): 1d20 + 23 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 23 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 46 Adamantine damage (sandstorm, Spirited Charge, mounted mastery, colossus hunter): 6d6 + 27 + 33 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2, 3, 3, 5, 2) + 27 + 33 + 3 = 83
Bili's overrun attempt (charge, banner, Improved Overrun, Greater Overrun): 1d20 + 19 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 19 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 2 = 3220% miss chance, low is bad for PCs: 1d100 ⇒ 59

Erd's Round 1: Ride-By Attack-style charge (full-round action).
Bili's Round 1: Charging overrun (full-round action).

Erd's wayfinder shines brightly enough for her to see, though Bili still struggles with the shadows. "It is wrong to hold the people here! They did not agree to this!" she yells, kicking her steed towards the statues.

Can I overrun one without provoking from the others? Are they Gargantuan or smaller? And is the distance to the throne less than or equal to 120 feet?

I mean I was wrong about him being a ghost king but the general idea is what we're doing.

The next morning . . . the group teleports back to the desert and enters the ruined city, searching for the ghost-king who binds the spirits there. ?

?

"Oh. Well Erd will cut them through anyways!"

"My blade thirsts for golemblood!" Erd decides upon discovering this.

We done here?

What was the name of the king? Was he primarily a mage or a warrior? And did he have notable lieutenants?

(c) seein what more you can learn about the verses in the Imaskari city

Sorry, I meant verses, not runes.

There was something about runes that you spoke of, yeah?

Erd's research technique is to pull the first book off the shelf, read it all the way through, and put it back. Then she pulls the next book off the shelf, reads THAT all the way through, and puts it back on the shelf. And so forth. She spends six hours in the natural history section reading about decorative ferns.

Erd tries to go to the library and find information about the Inmaskari city.

Knowledge (arcana) untrained: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (4) - 2 = 2

The next morning . . . the group teleports back to the desert and enters the ruined city, searching for the ghost-king who binds the spirits there. ?

Yeah killing the ghost king is on my to-do list as well. I think Nicos was just asking what we do in terms of research.

My vote would be Amman. Sorry Erd's so useless for information-gathering, guys.

Maybe let's look into what happened to Tandall's soul, then.

Hmm . . .

That night before resting, Erd begins training Bili in the art of air-walking with a mounted rider. It's difficult without the actual spell going, but the warrior thinks her horse is beginning to catch on.

The next day, after pawning the possessions of the daemon-affiliated half-elves, Erd trains Bili for another three hours.

2 days down.
What did we need to do to get information from Candlekeep again? Give them an old book or something?

Once the training is complete, Erd settles down for the rest of the afternoon. She tries to play cards with Garren, but is too focused on keeping all the tiny papers from slipping out of her hands to really learn the game's theory.

Okay, that's 2450 gold for each of us. Not including whatever we got from the gnome.

"Okay, protecting Sylwaris is also important."

So we teleport back to Candlekeep . . . is there anywhere Erd can sell off the gear of those half-elves she and Garren fought?
