Galenus's page

Yeah, I think I'll bow out. I've been slammed at work with no sign of letting up, and I've been slacking too much on this game. Thanks for the great game. It's been fun gaming with all of you.

1d20 ⇒ 19

One pass. Zero fails.

Firebolt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Galenus looks to see if any chunks have fallen off the elemental. All they need is a piece of it; there's no point staying here and getting beat down if they could just grab a chunk of it and run.

In the meantime, he continues to throw his vials of fire.

Fireboot: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 9

Galenus rushes over to kanzen and gives him a healing potion, and meanwhile throws another vial of fire.

Firebolt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 7

Firebolt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 10

Keep going!

Firebolt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11
Damage: 1d10 ⇒ 1

I was thinking of Sacred Flame for my other cleric PC.

We've almost got him! Galenus declares, whether it's true or not.

He throws another vial.

Firebolt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 7

Don't worry, were lousy with dwarves.

Get rid of one drow and another comes in! It's like we're infested with them!

Galenus throws another vial of fire at the elemental.

Focus on the elemental! he calls out.

Firebolt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Arcana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

It's an earth elemental! And it's crazy! We're here, boys! This is what we need! Just a chunk of that guy there and we can retreat out of here.

Anyone got some good thunder magic? That'll knock a chunk off for sure!

Meanwhile, Galenus prepares a vial of liquid fire and throws it at the elemental.

Firebolt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24
Damage: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8

Arcana: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Gargoyles, Galenus proclaims. Nasty critters. Normal weapons don't effect them as much as you might thing, even though it's kind of common sense that a sword ain't gonna do much to a damned rock.

Can we tell what the statues are? Automatons? Golems?

Galenus throws the vial he had in his hand at one, unsure if it's close enough for him to reach.

Firebolt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Galenus waits to see if either Cyrus or Galinndan call out to the others for anything.

Galenus was ready to throw another vial of fire at the ghost, but held his hand when Zoltan asked to stop it. Of course we don't need to. Such a thing is too far beneath me to worry about it.

Galenus preps and lobs a flask of fire.

Firebolt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20
Fire Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Gyahh! Galenus screams in pain, instinctively throwing his vial of fire at the apparition.

Will: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Firebolt: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

But he misses horribly and it shatters against a wall somewhere over there.

Galenus preps a flask, ready to throw when danger rears its ugly head.

Mirror is a good idea. We should also get something to turn someone back into flesh.

Any potions or scrolls to that effect?

It'll be easy! Nothing we can't handle! Galenus says, clearly overconfident in himself and the group.

Ok. That sounds good. Let's do the elements. Who knows where these things are?

I do not want to go back to Neverlight Grove. Let's take of things closer to home, first, and then if we absolutely need to we might go back. I'm partial to those earth elementals - those will come in handy.

We should go back and warn the city council of this. Perhaps they have some ideas and better support for dealing with oozes.

We should seek a giant alchemical bomb, and blast the entire room! Kaboom! Haha! Wouldn't that be great? Galenus says, getting perhaps just a tad too loud in his excitement.

You think we can survive going through there? Awful lot of them.

What do you see? Galenus whispers.

Likewise I'll grab a Warhammer.

To Topsy and Turvy - That's one of the reasons why we wanted to talk to them; in hopes of finding you a home. It's been great traveling with you, and you're welcome to come back with us anytime.

At the inn - Galenus purchases some cigars and a mug of ale. Ah. Finally, he says, blowing out a puff of smoke. It's been too long.

After at least two mugs and one cigar, he pulls out his violin and starts repairing it from their travels. Waxing the bow, polishing the wood - the travels have been rough. Once satisfied, he lights another cigar and starts playing.

We haven't had a good beer in a long time. That's a perfectly good reason not to delve into the abyss once more. Give everyone at least a day or two to just relax before engaging in danger again.

Our characters need a mental break from the constant threats and stress.

Galenus takes great interest in the shop, looking over the equipment and devices the old gnome is using to make his wares.

Galenus is ready to head into the city to see this Linkin. Thank you. We'll look into it and see what we can see.

It is certainly something we'll want to research before we go to investigate. Let's see if anyone else knows a thing about them.

Aye. They say there's bigger threats afoot, and they ain't lying. We gotta all band together to face what's coming. They don't want war with you. And they don't want to be treated like second class citizens. You play your cards right, you could have a powerful ally with them rats.

Galenus smiles at the turn of events. He's happy with how things have turned out, despite the struggles they've been through. I'm glad I could make all this happen, he thinks to himself.

Galenus looks on in eager anticipation to see the response.

Out? Naw. They want to broker a peace treaty. In light of the greater dangers that have recently arising in the Underdark. They're just tired of the constant back and forth. You all would be better off working together, creating a stronger defense system - than you would worried about each other while the demons are on the rise.

Galenus watches on in silence, curious how this will turn out.

Insight: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8

Glad to be past the traps, Galenus keeps quiet, letting his more verbose companions take the lead. Part of being such an excellent specimen of a Dwarf himself, he understands that you present your best foot forward in each situation. In this case, that means putting Idril forward.

Dex: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Whew!

Yeah, why don't we hang out back here? Galenus suggests to Zoltan.

Zoltan - are you using my funds or yours? (Just checking to see if I need to subtract my funds).

Galenus keeps a wary eye out for what is to come. He's unsure if they'll be like the typical wererats in stories, or more like the two they've been traveling with.

I've got the following to be used for party funds:

25 GP Crystal
275.7 gp
Hourglass worth 50 gp

Whoever wants a silver weapon can have one; I can afford three.

Fine by me! Better than some looters picking over our corpses and fighting over the unused blade. ;)

Ahh.. the adventurers' economic cycle.

I agree with Kanzen; let's go to the Warrens first. See what they know.

Some folks in the market said these oozes came from some place called the Goldwhisker Warrens. What's there?

Not just the surface; but home for anyone of us who lives in the Underdark.

Arcana covers all planes knowledge.

Irdril is right. Even Gracklstugh was showing signs of being affected. Cults of demogorgon were sprouting up. And lesser demons are showing up throughout the Underdark.

An excellent idea. Let us go there, Galenus declares, even after people start moving out to head to the Hall.
