Great solution! I'll regain my Rank 5 Blister and 1 hero point.
Happy New Year! Kvit would be fine for another encounter, but having healing available would be nice. I've got a few spells, staff, and drain focus on a few ranks left.
Happy Holidays everyone! Looking forward to finishing this out in the new year! But I'll be around on and off if we want to talk loot until then.
I included the adamantine chips above, but forgot to list the adamantine chunk. Do we want to use that for a weapon yet? Lough?
To get a head start, here's the latest loot consolidation. Did I miss anything? Any other requests? Anyone want to claim anything? Any suggestions or ideas for outfitting us all with ghost-touch capable weapons? Currently we have about 2500gp on hand for additional purchases besides what's listed here. Loot Accounting: Stuff we're definitely keeping Ochre Fulcrum Lens (1 @ 1400gp) - Kvit Emerald Fulcrum Lens (1 @ 1000gp) - 3 Bulk and Negative healing... Who's carrying this? Adamantine chips (3 @ 0gp) - The description didn't say how many ""chips"" were available, just there were extra for needle darts Stuff we're keeping unless we need the money
A. Cash or equivalent
B. Equipment we are cashing in at 50%
C. Purchases
GRAND TOTAL = 2559.17gp (A:3478.42 + B:870.75 - C:1790) (+550gp if needed)
We also don't want to forget to buy some anti-ghost things
Kvit seems impassive, trusting Cherry and Dorianna to see to his wounds. Kvit takes a small smooth pebble from the floor and etches a series of runes into it. He hands it out to the gnome. "What can you tell us about what's below? Or anything else? If you help us, we'll help you. I'll give you this talisman, it will keep the Urdefhan or the caligni or the elves from tracking you back to wherever you go." He thinks to himself, "But it'll let me track him down if needed later..." deception: The stone is not a talisman, doesn't do anything, but I've marked it such that it's an individual object I can attempt to find with Locate later.
That seems easy enough to manage. I need to go back and clean up our loot sheet but we had almost 3k in party funds last time we sold loot.
Kvit makes note of the runes before purposely scuffing part of it out with his staff. He rejoins the others after they rescue the deep gnome."Doesn't look like there's much left of him."
Kvit gives a sideways glance to Lough, in a "why are you asking me" way, "It seems like we should but perhaps we keep it to ourselves for now in case it makes them more bold... Kvit looks at the box, assuming it's a victim of the urdefhan, but doesn't stop anyone from investigating it. He's more interested in the runes on the floor. RK on runes:
Mis-tracked*
Unless I've distracted, I only have the one...
Kvit starts throwing whatever he has left.
A strange bolt of multicolored layered energy blast towards Khurfel. Then puts up a shield in case Lough goes down...
Kvit drains a bit of power from the staff to recall and recast Blur on Lough.
Kvit ensorcells his dagger with several layers of magic before letting it fly at the crazed berserker.
Kvit points his staff at the ground near Khurfel's feet and summons a slick coating of grease.
Then draws his dagger.
Good to be back! Sorry your work doesn't understand the importance of PBP!
With Lough beaten down, Kvit extends the reach of his spell before attempting to blur Aesephena's form.
Kvit points towards the ground at Lough's feet. Glowing lines begin to trace patterns on the floor in a circle, bolstering Lough and Aesephena's defenses against further magic. He then glares Khurfel and tries to take advantage of their frenzied state.
That seems fair enough. I didn't think about something dying with any active blisters until this time.
That was disgustingly effective
Kvit is secretly ecstatic at the Blister spell working flawlessly this time. He concentrates and bursts one to catch the other caster as well. And while they're distracted by that, he lobs a glob of quick-expanding acid right between them.
"Cherry, target the spellcasters with Vitality, they're nearly undead in some respects."
Kvit muses, "They really should have probably come all out at once..." He tries to size up the spell casting opposites. Recall knowledge on spellcasters:
He targets one of the spell casters in the back with Blister
Kvit appraises the equipment, tossing the mundane things into one pile and the magical equipment into another. "I did say we should have purchased a spacious pouch while we were in town didn't I? We'll have to come back for most of it. I'm certainly not carrying it."
As the small horde of Urdefhan rush towards Kvit, he swings his staff in a wide arc spraying fire indiscriminately.
Then uses that as cover to retreat.
As the arrows rain down, Kvit quickly gestures and seems to pull a sheet of rock and petrified mushrooms from the ground for cover. Kvit then raises an extra arcane barrier of force and reaches out to speed Lough's movements.
Thanks for the details on troops. It would definitely be hard to convey over pbp without just spelling it out. ... Planned some quick spell swaps while we were up there. Unfortunately I wasn't planning to assault the camp, and definitely not defend against a preemptive assault on us. Swapped rank 1 force barrage for sure strike (from thresholds of truth). Swapped rank 2 hydraulic push for another Blur. Swapped rank 5 scouting eye for H+3 dispell magic (from thresholds of truth again). It's been a while but recall with assurance arcana, I get a automatic 25, enough to auto succeed on up to rank 5 spells for borrowing, and rank 4 for learning outright.
Kvit seems a little distant or indifferent, ignoring Dorianna looking at the lens. "We're, fortunately, running out of options of creatures to fight. Though there's an impenetrable fortress and a whole encampment to sort out." He seems to consider a few things and takes stock of his resources. "I may need to do some research to figure out the exploding building. And we should rest and come up with a plan if we plan on kicking the hornets' nest."
If that thing is 2 bulk, then kvit is currently encumbered. 4.5/4
So when we go topside, I/we'll have to figure that out. A spacious pouch for the group would be nice, but it wouldn't help Kvit. It's all his wearable items and such that is weighing him down. Easiest solution would be a lifting belt for 80gp
Kvit inspects the lens as the boat is paddled away back to drier shores. He strokes his whiskers thoughtfully as he examines the qualities and potential uses of the lens. He seems to be half talking to himself. "Hmm, yes. Quite powerful indeed." He looks up at Cherry as if only hearing part of what they said. "Hmm? Yes, I will be holding onto this. It's too dangerous to just pass around."
"After facing Belcorra again, and sending her back, again, facing a dumb bird seems less of a problem. Let's get to it. And hope the fish still is nursing its wounds."
I goofed too - can convert all of Lough’s damage to Spirit damage - gunna look up the feature that says that later! Retroactively apply the damage and poof! Belcorra taken care of.
Definitely need to buy some ghost touch runes or at least more scrolls
Yay! We sent her off before the shutdown!
Sneakers throws a small rock at the place where she sinks into the ground. The small rat quizzically asks, "Does she have any idea how little that narrows it down?" ... Kvit leans against the cavern wall and slowly regains his full faculties. "We've got, uh, at least a few things, on the, uh to buy now."
"That's Belcorra alright, well, her actual ghost. She seems to be getting stronger the deeper we delve. We've run into her once before." "She's a real-"
Kvit's expression suddenly glazes over momentarily. "Where was I? Uh, right" He sustains the wards and raises his staff to fire off a bolt of fire.
FYI, sounds like the forums might be offline for a bit whenever they do the paizo site overhaul
Kvit sustains the protective wards. He touches Lough's weapon. "Now you should really be able to tear into her." Then he tries to determine if this is a projection or her actual form. recall knowledge with scholarly recollection:
Kvit's going to cast the spell on whichever weapon or deadly appendage he holds out, lol. Meta-wise, usually incorporeal things have a lower than average AC to make up for being so hard to damage. (I think?)
Kvit turns away from Cherry and Dorianna as he fishes around in his mouth discreetly for a scroll. Satisfied, he moves up towards Lough and summons a protective array of runes to cover himself and Lough.
Hmm, it has to target a weapon. I don't think claws count do they?
I could use Kvit's prescient consumable to get a scroll of ghost touch or something similar if that works for anyone? Kvit is going full support-mode currently
Kvit touches Aesephena causing her, and Dorianna, to quicken their motion and thinking. "Well, garbage. I was not expecting Belcorra so soon again." He moves a little closer, hugging the wall.
"I suppose that's a reasonable question, but I don't think black puddings have pockets. We could tear into them, but the black pudding is very likely still acidic." Kvit pokes the poo pudding's remains with one of the extracted talons.
