Enjoyed playing with you Daina and hope to play in a future game. I dug out my 5e book yesterday and began reading it again. Rules are coming back to me. One question I have (this might be related to an errata or update I do not know about) is about racial powers of high elves or Eladrin. I see souces that say they can Fey Step once per long rest, but I do not see that listed in my player's book. What am I missing? Also, I did not see the Bladesinger as an archtype to wizard. Where is that class listed? Is it in the DMG? Thanks.

Looking over many options. Currently thinking about a Bladesinger. Not sure I have the stats for that class though. What book is it in? And is there a racial requirement?

Mostly just from memory of playing Living Greyhawk. Geoff had great writers and a really fine IC website for people to post stories. I'll have to see if that is still available on Yahoo. If I find it I will certainly share it.

ok. One last setting question - do you have a year in mind for when the story begins as far as Greyhawk cannon goes? IIRC at some point the Gran March grabs a city or two from Geoff in "payment" for their efforts against the giants. Has that happened? And what of the fey in Geoff? Are they part of the background? Still scheming about my character, but I must admit a spear welding Yeomanry who does not give a whit about titles and nobility does sound appealing. :)

First, Daina, please consider giving this a try. I'd like to keep gaming with you. :) Second, Are we starting in Geoff? Sterich? The Grand March? How about we are a unit from the Yeomanry and the local command is hesitant/confused on how to use or attach us? We have the right to fight under our own banner and our own commander so they cannot just split us up. And the wrong mission could cause diplomatic problems. So we are currently being looked over and ignored.

I wanted to plug the druid class in case someone at least wants to consider it. I have played a druid in 5e in a home game and since I just played a druid I would rather try something new. "Moon" druids are focused on shifting. They make great tanks as each form they take has a hit point pool - this means they can easily have 3 to 4 times the hit points of the toughest fighters. Plus each form has specific advantages and abilities that make the class fun. I'll have to go look at my book to see what class I want to play this time around. I might consider a wizard type or even a paladin.

Thanks for the great run DM Under a Dark Sun. You are a cut above at writing and I always enjoyed your narrative and plot development. And while hate to see it end I understand all your reasons for ending it. High level play in any system often breaks down and we are teetering on that brink at 10th level. As for the follow-on game. Count me in! I love the Greyhawk world and played Living Greyhawk for 8 years. And my characters were pretty much all based in the Sheldomar Valley although the region assigned to Alabama was the Yeomanry. This was to the West of the Gran March. Sterich was to the north and some pirate princes to the south iirc. I have played 5e before and even have a character in the Adventure League (living 5e).But its been a while since I have played and will need to brush off those rules. And I fear that your desire for a more simple set of rules will go unrealized as more and more "splat" books are released adding to the 5e rule set. That seems to be the way of Hasbro. It certainly was for 4e. I guess we can always choose not to use new rules though. But we could have also played core rules in Pathfinder. That is a thing recently by the way - in PFS you can now replay all content but using only the core rulebook. Keeps the rules simpler while dialing up the challenge. I look forward to getting started in your next game.

I am waiting to hear if there is some gate to beyond still gaping open that might need closing. :) As he realizes that the collective is still in place and it appears his companions are all still alive Grit breaths a sigh of relief audibly to the group. <<Well done my friends. I am glad you are all still with me.>>

I too enjoyed the write-up. Nicely done. As his unnatural fear begins to subside grit stands up out of the stone he was partially merged with and regards the large chamber looking for further enemies. His mind tentatively feels for the connections of the collective that have become so comforting to him and for the consciousness of his old friend Nnn. He feels a mental tug from Ral, but knows that connection exists outside of the collective and so is not yet reassured. He mentally reaches out more firmly for the minds of his friends as his eyes move to the breached gate and what might lie beyond.

Alas Grit has no more resist spells. Perhaps Woki does. I had reminded him that he does not need to cast Resist Energy Fire on himself since Grit had cast that communally. Taking an AOO at the spawn that approaches him Grit swings a stone fist and then tries to trip the thing before it can close with him.

Grit On his turn Grit steps 5' towards Raun ignoring the black tentacles if he is within the spell radius Freedom of Movement and CMD high enough to tap the roll. and full attacks the spawn attacking Raun. If the creature drops he will attack the other attacking Raun, or if he cannot reach it, the one on him. Slam: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 18 + 1 = 262d8 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (8, 7) + 10 + (1) = 26

Ral With a quick word from Grit to defend Daina Ral races through air to pounce upon the spawn threatening the arcanist and tears at the spawn there with a flurry of tooth and claw. Bite: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 19 + 1 = 322d8 + 12 ⇒ (2, 1) + 12 = 15

If it matters both Ral and Grit are huge. The dots representing them look large (10X10). Also An epic post DM Under a Dark Sun! Also I am not rolling the 1d6+10 nonlethal from Frostbite. If that were important then let me know. And finally everyone remember that Grit cast communal Delay Poison and Resist Fire on everyone already so Woki might want to reconsider that spell - maybe cold? His fists dripping acid Elemental Grit swings at the approaching shadow spawn as it tries to close with him. If he hits he gets a free trip attempt and if that succeeds on the one that hit him then the attack likely never connects - 50/50 chance that he trips the one that would have hit him?. Slam: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 18 + 1 = 302d8 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 8) + 10 + (3) = 22
Ral also attacks the approaching spawn, trying to grapple it as it closes. Bite: 1d20 + 19 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 19 + 1 = 282d8 + 12 ⇒ (1, 4) + 12 = 17
Grit On his turn Grit steps back 5' and full attacks the spawn that he wounded as it approached him. It may be prone granting him additional bonuses to hit. Slam: 1d20 + 18 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 18 + 1 = 232d8 + 10 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 10 + (6) = 26

Grit directs Ral to take cover behind a pillar before fully sinking into the stone surrounding the seal. Ral moves to the pillar opposite of Gorkhan on the south. Grit then releases his hold on the bronze and stone. <<It comes. >> he breaths out in an earthy thought to the collective as he looses his grip. Grit takes cover in the stone of the floor thinking that if there is some immediate energy blast he should be protected some. I think this is the only way he can take cover since to move away would likely immediately release what is behind the seal.

With the stone shape being cast, does Grit thing he could move away from the seal safely this round? If he has an idea that he can he will move and attack. But if he thinks he is necessary for the seal to last another round he will stay and hold. Ral Health = 60/100 Ral 5' shifts to gain a flank with Gorkhan and continues to tear at the now undead elf.

[ooc]Ral Status 76/100 hp[ooc] Grit moves forward, a look of determination and duty on his face. As he moves his body adjusts and he melts with the surrounding material of the stone and the seal, using the fabric of his elemental body and both his physical and mental strength to bolster the seal if only for a few moments. Ral adjusts back 5' feet and attacks again not bothering to try to grab the elusive Viper this time.

The druid moves up with a single flying move and tries to figure out if anything can be done to help the seal last even a few more rounds.

Note that both Grit and Ral should be huge at the moment. Grit flies forward intent on trying to somehow repair the broken seal if possible or at least delay the complete destruction of the seal to buy some time. Perhaps his stone cunning or elemental form and ability to meld into stone will be of use... Unless he is told not to do so he commands Raj to attack the viper. Ral, take the viper down! Grit says as he flies towards the seal. I understand that it may be he has knowledge we need, but I doubt we can get it out of him. And the Tigone will likely do enough non-lethal so that it does not kill him. Plus the viper is out of Pounce range at the moment unless we become hasted Note he has a fly speed of 60 at the moment.

No, you cannot do this. Each form requires a new use of the daily shifting ability. That is why I am reluctant to shift from one form to another in this game. Get druid vestments as soon as you can to add one more shift/day. It is worth the cost in most games. And a note on Saurian Shaman - It was the author's intent that Shamen in general would not be able to shift to another form until 6th level. At that point they shift into their chosen forms like an 8th level druid and into other forms like a 4th level druid. This was his intent BUT the RaW failed to implement this. So basically if you go by Raw you can shift at 4th level like a non-shamen druid. I thought you might want to know...

Slightly confused. This guy is saying he has not seen Payne but then seems to be suggesting that Payne stabbed the villichi woman. Which is it? Grit considers the elf's words. Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 He then adds It matters not if you are being fully truthful. With what you have helped bring about with your own hand there is no place safe you can teleport to. We are here to stop this thing before it is fully completed if we can. You must help us or you will not survive. Will you help? Diplomacy Assist: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Note that Grit's buff's include Communal Delay Poison and Resist Energy Fire on everyone. And I have decided to use the Orb of Jah-hoz to become a huge earth elemental. Never used it and this may be the last dance... I see no immediate down side to talking... Grit, already huge tries to further block the passage. Hmm. We have always heard Dote Mal Payne was human but you are an elf. Grit says in a deep gravelly voice. Explain that to start with if you are indeed Dote Mal Payne. Grit will not assume a huge size if the passage is not large enough to accommodate him. Nor will he cast Animal Growth on Ral if its too small. Spells on:

Finalizing spell selection. If Grit is getting Fly he will use Air Walk on Raj, who has that trick trained but might not do well with flight.

Earlier, before spells are prepared As the party rides Grit speaks to the group the the link Nnn provides. <<We now know this enemy and must prepare for him. I think we can expect similar spell tactics from him: Flight, Stoneskin, invisibility, and Freedom of Movement. Those of us capable of doing so should be prepared to dispel, counter, or otherwise deal with these defenses.>>

The druid marvels at the huge ray, his heart glad that such a thing exists in his world. As he moves to mount Grit reminds the elder man that should he be able to do so after this mission runs to completion he will return to this camp and help them with their growing for a time. With fresh bread in his hand he climbs the ladder and finds a place to sit, urging his Tigone to join him.

Nnn. If you are going to provide that negative energy/death protection again the Grit will memorize a different 5th level spell. They seem to do about the same thing. Thoughts?

Ah, that explains it. I had added a +1 ring to my equipment in Herolab to simulate that bonus. Grit did NOT have a +1 ring. I had simply forgotten where the bonus came from. Sorry for that error.

No thoughts on the huge cat vs the huge elemental? I guess it depends somewhat on terrain. And DM Under a Dark Sun, what are your thoughts on the Elemental Wild Shape and the Elemental form? Do they simply overlap or might there be some synergies?

Int based casters may have Will as a good save, but they do not typically have the Wisdom to also back it up. So the -4 from the spell for arcane casters is usually a big enough hit to make the spell a threat. I know when I play a wizard I try to have a ring of Counterspell loaded with Feeblemind by 9th level. :)

Grit is pretty happy with his huge kitty form, but he also has this item: Orb of Jah-hoz:
This would let me take the form of a Huge Earth Elemental. I'd gain DR5, and become immune to bleed, crits, and sneak attack. I'd gain +8 Strength, -2 Dex, +4 Con, and +6 NA. In cat form I get +6 Strength, -4 Dex, no Con bonus and +6 NA. So, better strength an con bonuses and less Dex loss. Attacks would be two slams for +16 to hit for 2d8+10 with a 15 foot reach. I'd gain Earth Glide movement too. But I'd loose grab and the third attack. Plus I'd loose pounce and rake. Overall the form will be more defensive, but slower. It will have better reach but not grab. I am unsure how Elemental Wild Shape might effect it.

Grit wonders at the garden, obviously pleased that such a place exists. You have done well here Tarelon. I thank you for your hospitality and hope to find a way to repay you. Perhaps I can help with some of these plants on the return trip, if we are successful that is. When the option of trading comes up Grit asks We must plan to fight a great foe and his minions. He is a vial defiler and necromancer. If you have any potions, scrolls or other talismans that would provide protection from such magic, or bolster our own resistance then that would be most welcome.

I am a fan of Feeblemind to use against arcane casters. This is a little unusual for me as I usually do not care for "save or suck" spells. Effectiveness of Telekinesis seems too DM dependent based on my experience. I do like Wall of Stone too and were we planning on a lot more play I might encourage that way because its fun to build with. :)

I am good with the recommendations but I am not sure we will ever have another chance trade before the final scene of this game. So if someone can use an item on the trade list take it now. Edit, just read the game post so never mind. :) Oh, Grit has a +1 ring to give back to the party for use or trade. I cannot think of anything he might need in the way of new items but will recommend we try to trade for a few consumables like scrolls and potions of some good buffs.

I was just about to suggest last minute shopping trips. Why would that not work. If Daina is familiar with Tyr and wants to teleport there and back she has to make the % die rolls but IF she rolls well is there a problem?

Bull Rushing is a standard action (right?) so you do that instead of attack. Combat reflexes gets you more attacks.

Grit levels to level 10. Hit Points: 1d8 ⇒ 3 [oh, well] +1 BAB
I gain another 4th and 5th level spell. I gain another wild shape per day 5 skill points

Taking his Mul form Grit addresses the man I'd follow that one to the end of the earth if need be. Its another fight for me. Grit could use the Belt of Con, the Circlet of Wisdom and the ring. The wisdom item would grant him another first and 4th level spell so that would be his first pick. I'd think you would want the Torc Nnn. And you should wear the Bracers if we do not have a chance to buy and sell things. But you should also be getting mage armor from Daina daily if you can talk her out of the spell. :)

Seeing that his animal companion is not harming the creature Grit now sends his tigone away after a last bite attempt. Single Bite and then hasted move away to try to be out of range of whatever it might try - Move of 80.. Grit attempts to hold on to the undead champion and full attacks. Ral Bite vs grappled opponent: 1d20 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 2 = 182d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 6 = 12 Grit Maintain Grapple: 1d20 + 16 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 16 + 5 = 37 Bite: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 2 = 362d8 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (7, 7) + 9 + (2) = 25 claw: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 16 + 2 = 252d6 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 9 + (6) = 20 claw: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 16 + 2 = 362d6 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (5, 1) + 9 + (5) = 20 Rake: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 16 + 2 = 262d6 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 6) + 9 + (6) = 25 Rake: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 16 + 2 = 242d6 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 6) + 9 + (6) = 24 Ral:
