When (because I know it will happen) I play RA again, I will lobby as much as I can for a 2 scout team - beautiful thing to see in action. In fact I may recommend it for any 'dungeon-crawly' adventure.
Sad to see this game finish Komm, but some times it is important to have closure in RPG games - and in this case it seems to work perfectly fine. Thanks to you and all the other players for keeping this going for over 3 years - it is quite an accomplishment in itself. Much like the others, I will keep an eye out for this one, and if you ever decide to continue it, definitely drop me a line please! Hope to see everyone around the boards and Merry CHristmas!!
"Shall we go and meet the Oracle then?" - Grezzor inquires - "He should be gagged and come with us" - the wizard motions toward their captive.
Grezzor remembers one he believes to be this Marthek, but keeps the thoughts to himself.
"You should talk" - Grezzor advises their captive - "This may get really ugly if you don't..."
Grezzor ignores the corpses, going through and cataloging the items found.
Grezzor shrugs off most of the insidious magic, and aims a similar spell to the same targets.
"Burn!" - the goblin whispers again, this time more forcefully.
Seeing as their opponents seem apparently overwhelmed, Grezzor moves next to Ranalfus, and casts a simple fiery spell to engulf two of them.
"Burn..." - the wizard mutters.
Grezzor watches the scouting from the entrance to the room, in silence.
Enjoy the trips guys!
"The idea was to try and get him to tell us..." - Grezzor mumbles as Keil goes off scouting.
"Why not go tell Saracek the head cannot be found, and strike another deal?" - Grezzor stares at the large cavern.
Grezzor nods and moves to the door, studying it for a moment. Then he goes through the arcane process required to dispel the magic present therein.
"I am unable to overcome it" - the goblin shrugs, returning to the others.
The fetchling's mask droops noticeably at Brok's suggestion, a clear indication that the goblin is correct - Keil has no interest in tempting those worms. "This door may be beyond our skills, but not Grey's." Turning to face the witch Keil asks, "Magic can be undone, can it not?" "Or mine" - Grezzor adds - "Yes, magic can be dispelled. Shall I try it?"
"There is definitely magic involved - I cannot fathom what it is though" - Grezzor comments.
I've played many bards before - none of them sang. Perrformance (Oratory) is my favorite.
I am not familiar with the Aegis, sorry Ranalfus :P As for the Alchemist, I do think we could use as many ranged options as possible, but since we already have Keil wanting/needing sneak attack options (such as flanking), you guys could make a strong tag team?
"A moment of respite..." - are Grezzor's only words.
Grezzor uses a simple spell to look for magical auras in the room.
Thanks for all the feedback guys - most of it I am aware, but really very good tips there ;) I am aware Wizards are versatile and powerful, but I am getting the feeling the 'adventuring days' in Rappan Athuk are too long - as strong as Grezzor may become, his resources are still finite (you guys obviously know this, hence the Scribe Scrolls and the Craft Staff/Wand ideas), and when they finish he can't contribute enough (Ray of Frost becomes of course less and less relevant...). The death of Arlok is a straight up example of this - our day was not even at half yet, but a good chunk of my spells were already spent. Yet, simply waiting for me to recover spells wouldn't make sense - characters just don't act like that, and it would be just too much meta and suspension of disbelief not to attack. We did what made sense, and it went very wrong. Also, and unfortunately we have had close to no downtime (as far as I can remember), which puts a dent in most the craft related ideas... Grey, I am planning on getting the Faerie Dragon yes ;)
Grezzor is updated to level 6 HP +5+1(FCB)+3(CON) = +9
--Skills--
Thanks for the input guys, I'll stick with him - just sometimes I get the feeling I don't have enough blasts to make him effective enough. Where maybe someone with melee capabilities could continue being useful, even after spells are exhausted (like a Magus for example). Then again Rappan Athuk is a different place altogether :P Sting is too squishy to scout though ;)
No worries Komm - we'll be here. On a side note, I'm starting to think maybe I should ponder the possibility of changing characters... Don't really think Grezzor is being the best contribution here... Maybe a Magus or something more combat able....
"That or incineration..." - Grezzor snickers.
Grezzor prepares to blast the ghouls, in case this whole thing goes south.
"Let us go then" - Grezzor nods.
Grezzor remains slightly behind the main scouts, waiting for their report.
Grezzor follows the scouts.
"How so?" - Grezzor questions.
Grezzor puts the scroll and damaged spellbook away, and waits for the scout's return.
With a snicker, Grezzor steps next to Ranulfus, and unleashes a torrent of fire from his hands at the fleeing ogres.
With an approving smile, Grezzor casts another spell and the group's speed is increased enormously.
"Today I am ready" - Grezzor snickers.
Grezzor seems disappointed at how his magic has failed him, so he simply plods along, most of the time distracted in his own thoughts. He frequently returns to his spellbook, as if some sudden realization would change anything, but then after a quick perusal he puts it back down and just continues walking.
"Words I will not forget" - the small goblin nods back.
Yeah... Don't get me started on the site issues.... Anyone heard from Arlok?
"Probably not" - Grezzor agrees, still being held by Vargrenz - "And thank you" - he adds to the grey dwarf who pulled him out of the tentacles.
Grezzor's balls of fire would have helped there. We heal and recover, then search that area and see if there is a way to get our big friend back.
