Gellumniq Clockwerk's page

With sadness I have decided to scale back on PbP plate. Due to the sporadic posting and odd pace that this game has been plagued with for the last few months, I have elected to withdraw from this game.

Thank you GM Tribute for your game, and thank you all for the RP fun.

PS-Gellumniq had taken the Ring of Spell Storing, so please claim it for someone else.

Gulp... In silent agreement Gellumniq allows Broldun to lead him along. Unsure of what happens next, he awaits the next few moments cautiously.

Unable to compute all of the sights before him, Gellumniq ignores the shooing. "Bogo? What the... is that a...dragon? Nice armor, by the way!"

Readying an action to unleash a lightning bolt if Bogo and/or his pet attack us.

With nothing more apparent or prudent, Gellumniq follows Mungo into the next chamber, helping in the search.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

"This ring ain't goin' nowhere." Gellumniq flips his lucky crona into the air, deliberately using the hand where the Ring of Spell Storing is worn to emphasize its current custodian. "The magic held in here wouldn't help against fire, or anything else on the front line. If yeah come up with a better reason than magic rings are my thing then maybe we'll talk. If not, the matter is closed. The sword is also spoken for, at least for now. We're a team right? Let's act like one." The normally cheerful gnome is growing agitated at this Quill character, and he felt it was past time to remain passive and silent on the subject. Though he knew little about him, he was rubbing Gell the wrong way.

Diplomacy at Quill: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Gell wants to attempt diplomacy here. Stiff diplomacy, but an attempt nonetheless.

"Maybe we should chase him down then?"

Gell busies himself examining the new chamber with the statue.
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Gellumniq giggles at Quill's statement that magic rings are his style.
"Magic anything is my style, so I think I will hang onto this ring for now. Friend Quill, I don't seem to remember you lifting a finger back there when we did battle with the wooden creature. Next time we would appreciate some help, especially if you want some good magic loot."

Gell puts the magic ring on this finger. GM, is this a Minor ring of spell storing? The item description says that the ring imparts the knowledge of what spells lay inside when the ring is put on. What spells are currently stored?

There are a few viable candidates in our party for this ring of spell storing. It is a valuable tool. If anyone particularly wants it or has a neat idea for it, chime in. Otherwise I will hang on to it.

Who is Quill?

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Gell hands the wand and ring to Ceweldyn for further inspection.
What do you think?"

Gell nods to Broldun and says to the group "Agreed. We're a bit lost here. Also, anyone still hurt?"

It is times like these that I wish Gellumniq were a murder hobo instead of a good-natured little guy! I also would have liked to keep that heart.

"Glittergold giveth and Glittergold taketh away." Gell grabs the ring and wand, looking to Bogo for reaction. "The heart is your treasure. These things should probably go to us, no?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

I'm not "claiming" any loot, just RPing here, and grabbing for safekeeping. We can identify and redistribute at any time, and I will happily relinquish said items.

"Maybe? What do you mean...maybe? You don't know what your treasure is?"

channel heal: 1d6 ⇒ 3
channel heal: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Gather closely my friends. Garl Glittergold will soothe your wounds.

The diminutive gnome gives the diminutive halfling a high-five.
"That was excellent Mungo!"

Frustrated with the creature's prowess and not seeing much alternative, Gell jumps on the dogpile getting in on the grappling fun.

Grapple: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (8) - 1 = 7

The whole party? or the previous initiative? Your previous post seemed to indicate the previous initiative order, which has some of us split up.

Unsure of the nature of this wooden creature, he doesn't yet put away his flask of oil.

"Deal off!!"

The gnome knew there would be trouble. Without waiting to light his missile, he throws his vial of oil at the creature, hoping that the next fire it touches will burn all the hotter for it.

Gell turns to the spouting angry troglodyte and laughs heartily at his displeasure.

Unsure of the nature of this wooden creature, he doesn't yet put away his flask of oil.

"heehee!" giggles Gellumniq with delight, also holding tools of flame.

Gell strides up to Maldor and gives him a blessing from Garl Glittergold, a bit of luck.

Maldor you get to reroll any/all d20s for the next round and take the more favorable result.

The gnome retrieves a flask of oil from his pack, then stuffs a bit of cloth into the opening, trying to make ready a flaming missile.
"Maybe we should burn it!" Gellumniq adds enthusiastically.

GM, are there any lit torches nearby? And folks, yes I'm aware they're being grappled right now haha, but I can't think of much more that I can do at this moment. Just getting ready, just in case.

"Not to worry my scaled friend, I can create magical torchlight. Is it truly necessary right now in the middle of melee?"

Gell looks to make sure all of his friends are in proximity, and calls forth the luck of Glittergold. He prays that his blessing can be shared by all.

Casts Bless. Everyone now has +1 to hit, +1 to saves vs fear.

"Oh dear... I'm behind you Broldun, this should help."
Using my Magic Stone spell in exchange for a CLW.
Cure Light Wounds on Broldun: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Isn't it the construct's turn? I haven't posted for a couple days because I didn't think I was up yet based on the initiative post.

Gellumniq, ever-cautious, is leery of the this nearly empty room with a bell on an altar. What could it mean? What is its purpose?

He waves his little gnome fingers in the direction of the altar and bell. Casting Detect Magic.

"Can someone please tell us what your mission was? How can we help?" Gellumniq says this with a cheerful smile.

Gellumniq thinks to himself, HIS treasure eh? I wonder what it is? I wonder why he trusts that we would allow him to depart safely with it?

Gell is startled by the deep laugh in the distance. "What....what was that?!"

Gellumniq returns Ni's smile. Then looks around to everyone else.
"My pappy always said, the smaller the stature, the taller the heart. I vote for Teraldan!"

The gnome turns a bit red, meekly suggesting, "I am cautious, but not the sharpest spear on the rack..."

Ugh, sorry about that Aviari I would have healed him-- the last thread we were in, we were in mid combat when the game fell apart. In fact I think the last round or two, I healed him. I still have several Channel Heals left for today, so keep that in mind.

Not really trusting this monstrous ally, Gellumniq follows.
Not really knowing what to look for, the sharp-eyed gnome keeps an eye out for anything of interest or suspicious.
Are we underground? If so, please at +2 to my perception roll from my [ooc]Goggles of Glittergold.[/i]

Perception to observe Bogo's room: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Gellumniq raises an eyebrow and casts a sidelong glance at the troglodyte. "Um, er...ok. If you say so Aviari."

I live in Vegas. Hope you have fun while here!

"Your guess is as good as mine!" Says the diminutive cleric with a shrug. "One moment we're in a temple, under attack by an elf who sprung from a closet...the next moment we're all suddenly here. By the way...where is here?"

The gnome's simple mind acknowledged the depth and complicated nature of magic, if not the details therein, but this sudden transport was inexplicable.

"Whoah... hey! I remember yall from the Lakeview Inn! Looks like we met sooner 'stead of later." Gellumniq looks around to see if anything looks familiar. "Where are we?"

For whatever its worth, I am willing to re-roll if we need a more rounded out party.

Hello again strangers!
Perception, searching for Punch and/or Pie: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Chiming in from Group 2. Hello everyone!

Tribute I will await further instruction from you on how to proceed.

I had such high hopes for this PbP, but at this point I would like to recommend we simply throw in the towel on this game. I want to be a part of the B1-B9 but clearly this game is dead.

GM can you please chime in with your thoughts? Can we cannibalize the players here who want to continue and be added to a different game? Or can you please recruit some players?

Thanks Ni. Yep that's what I was referring to. And agreed, I had seen other KotbL PBPost games of Tribute's, and I was excited to be a part of one. It has been a little sad to see this game stall.

GM may I ask what is going on? I thought I remembered seeing a post about possibly combining groups but I can't seem to find it.

Are we going to consolidate, recruit more, or just stop the game?

Lucky stiff...

Combining sounds cool to me.

Settle down now, we're here to help!... might have'ta knock you out first if yur gonna act this way..."

Move action to engage, standard to attack with battle axe!
Battle Axe: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

I'm still here!

Gellumniq moves to a position of safety away from the elf, 5' step away and holds forth his holy golden nugget! A shock wave of soft light washes over everyone nearby, bringing health to the injured. Hoping that Mungo is the only one hurt so far. This one's for you buddy.

Channel Heal: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Are we acting right away? Initiative? Do I get a surprise round action?

Gell will follow Mungo and help search the cloak room. Afterwards he takes a closer inspection of the altar at the foot of the statue.

Perception in cloak room: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 I'm assuming I get the +2 from my goggles for being underground. The stalactites here are my clue.
Perception on Altar: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (7) + 7 = 14
Casts Detect Magic in and around the cloak room, and then on the altar and statue area.

The gnome sees the hand pointing east and nods. He was about to speak up and declare the party go east when he notices the wary Ederet opting for the opposite direction. Hmm. He must have something in mind! The gnome lamented to himself that others always seemed to grasp the situation more swiftly than he did.

"This way folks, stay close!", Gellumniq whispers to his friends, following Ederet down the western hallway. The anticipation and caution is evident in his tone and demeanor.

Gell has his battle axe and shield armed and ready.

So, this game is dead I assume?

"Agreed Mungo. Dwarf or not, I don't think it's very wholesome to take money from a temple-- unless it's an evil god's temple!

Anyone find it odd that there are dwarf god statues in this temple frequented by local elves?"

Gellumniq scratches his head yet again. This place was confusing him.
Gell will cast Detect Magic in and around the domed structures, and on the statues themselves, and then finally on the coins that Mungo spotted.

If we find nothing else out of the ordinary then..."Well folks, nothing to see here I reckon. Wanna go up inside the temple?"

GM I think I can say on behalf of the group that we intend on searching each mound and each shed before proceeding to the temple doors. It may speed things up to just declare that this way. We're all sort of posting about random spots in the courtyard and I don't feel like we're getting anywhere.

It looks like so far we've:

-Searched the pool. It's oily and gross and exudes conjuration magic. Nothing more specific has been determined about it.
-Searched at least some sheds. Ederet found 2 sacks with an unknown symbol on them filled with tithing coppers.
-Talon and Mungo have both posted about searching the domed buildings to the south, but no word yet about what they've found.

If you have a character with tentacles, such as a kraken caller druid, and levels in monk, do the tentacles do damage as a monk (based on size and level)? I'm assuming they would still count as secondary attacks, just wondering if they would do more damage.

I've gone through the forums but I haven't found my question specifically answered. Let's say you've got a Rage Prophet (and I know rage prophet may or may not be a class you like). If you have 2 barbarian levels, 5 oracle levels, and 10 rage prophet levels, if you take another level of oracle for level 18, what level oracle are you taking? What spells are you gaining at that level? I'm a bit confused. Rage prophet levels stack with barbarian and oracle as far as effects of abilities go and add on 7 levels of divine(oracle) spell-casting. So is this level 13 oracle? Level 6?

Also, I haven't seen it spelled out: would you be able to buy for example rage powers that require you to be a level 6 barbarian, or oracle revelations that require you to be a level 9 oracle? I feel like that was the intent, but I would like to know for sure.
Thanks in advance and apologies if I've missed finding the answers to these questions elsewhere.

I'm looking for the same answer that Lynceus posited several years ago.

"Mantle of Moonlight (Su): Your innate understanding of the moon renders you immune to lycanthropy. Additionally, you may disrupt a lycanthrope’s connection to the moon with a successful touch attack. This action automatically forces the lycanthrope into its humanoid form, which it must remain in for a number of rounds equal to your oracle level. Upon reaching 5th level, you can use this ability to force others into a rage, as per the spell. Using this ability is a melee touch attack. You can use this ability once per day at 5th level plus one additional time per day for every 5 levels above 5th...

I think what this is trying to say is that the Rage ability is usable 1/day at level 5, and that you can use the ability to disrupt lycanthropes at-will. That's what makes the most sense, at least.

Any clarification on this would be appreciated."

Can the anti-lycanthrope thing be used multiple times per day or only once for every 5 levels?

I'm just wondering... since a kraken caller druid specifically has to worship Besmara, could you take one of Besmara's domains with Nature's Bond instead of the normal druid domains?
