Well, that certainly looks like the docks of bloodcove. Do we want to tie up that loose end or finish with this cursed city?

for scrying. No Knowledge Local. for something else.
It has been a bit since Mik was in Bloodcove but prior to joining this crew, he spent about a year there. Anything look familiar? The laws of humans do not concern me. She has left my jungle with her tail between her legs and that is enough for me. If we want to pursue her, I am fine with that as long as we do not stray too long from our main goal of finding the remaining crystals and stopping the evil infestation of the jungle.
I, too, have been hit with real life stuff and haven't gotten Mik updated yet. Hope to have it soon as well but if my latest venture (headache) pans out, will be scarce for a couple of weeks.
Drat. I am working April 2nd, Sat, 0500-1330. Let me know if the evening is possible or Sun the 3rd.
Mik will make his way over to Jask. I seem to have been poisoned from the rotten assassin's blades. Do you, by chance, have anything to spare that might lessen the effects? I think the poison is finished attacking my system but the residual affects are still lingering. Do not take from those that need it more as the jungle is harse and many may be suffering. When Mik returns and notices a snoring duo of Griff and Francis, he will grab a jug of wine and a few cups, plopping down near Cain. Thank you for assisting in the revenge on Goro. I'm sure he would be proud of our efforts. Will you stay and assist our cause? I, for one, am seeking to bring balance back to the jungle and stop the intrusion that threatens its existance. We have discovered various gems from some of the spires and believe we need the remainder to track down the source of evil that has infected the jungle. You have proved valuable in a fight and I would be honored to call you comrade. Think long and hard before deciding as I feel we have barely scratched the surface of the infection. If Cain wishes, Mik will continue to chat. If Cain seems lost in thought, Mik will seek out the company of Kieyanna to learn more of her elven and human heritage before retiring for the night.
Does the green color look familiar to anything we have seen in the ancient city? I believe there is a lot of green stuff here, even discounting the jungle, but trying to match the color to anything local. More trying to figure out if this was a recent development since Ivo arrived here or if this happened some time ago, in a land far, far away.
We could always resurrect Goro and make it a moot point, if he be willing. I'm sure his company would be most welcome.
Aloha, Bennie. Sorely missed, indeed. Welcome back and hope your trip was exciting, pleasant and memorable. I hope you are so worn out from travelling that it takes a full week to recover. What did ya get me? Ha. @Matt:
Getaway would be a nice fail safe. Ice Crystal Teleport may be useful for capturing someone as long as they fail a Will Save. Like playing dangerous games with devils, demons and other outsiders? Then Planar Binding is for you. Not sure how beneficial it will be for our group but I'm sure it will have it's moments. Summon Monster VI has dinosaurs and reminds me of the previous encounter where summoned dinosaurs made it rather unbalanced. Otherwise, would be helpful to have a front line creature to augment Cain. Wall of Iron is great for containing or splitting forces but think you have that at a lower level version. Chains of Light would also be good for containing bad guys, especially those that like to shift in and out of existence. Summon Vanth would be a good front line fighter and wouldn't have the dinosaur side affect. Whip of Ants seems to fit Griff's S&M characteristics. :D The spell says the swarm has Distraction and Poison but could not find any clarification on the poison. Since it is similar to the Whip of Spiders, I think it is a misprint. Prob should get clarification if is a spell you want. The devouring of a helpless or nauseated creature is cool (and rather creepy) but pretty conditional. Those are my thoughts. Don't forget to level up everyone. Matt, is your list of spells in your spell book up to date? Mik would like to borrow to copy some spells. We might also want to go shopping to sell some loot and upgrade our equipment. I will try to gather a list of stuff for sale. Mik will likely take a cloak and some potions and some other stuff as well.
Oh, she will certainly retaliate, question is to who will she retaliate. We nearly killed her and killed all of her companions so unless she has reinforcements, I doubt she will be back. Have we heard the last of her? Probably not. I think we have shown that if you attack us or our crew, we will irradicate you. We probably should double the size of our excursions for now. as Mik offers his 2 coppers.
Turning towards Griff, Mik says, Oh, right, did Jones make it here?
Mik will finish investigating the complex and spend time searching for secret doors, taking 10, if allowed, for a 25. Mik will search the entire lower level, except for the ghost's room, if no one objects. At some time during his search, Mik will ask, Griff, do you want to talk to the ghost soon? I suggest we at least rest first to regain some spells. I still am feeling rather clumsy and hope a rest will help. I assume we can gather all the loot into one location. If the group wants to spend the day and night in the spire, the throne room might be the best location.
Mik, seeing the green brains of Ivo, exclaims, This is why you don't make pacts with demons. Mik will use Knowledge Arcana to try and understand the green brain goo.
Thanks, Kieyanna. Mik says after the two restorations and will take a few CMW.
After catching his breath, Mik will check the two rooms near the stairs to make sure the wizard assassin isn't lurking nearby. Will cast Light to illuminate the areas as he searches.
A shaky, clumsy Mik will collapse in mid-air, getting his breath under control. Someone else will step on that cockroach if we don't meet her later. Is Mik still bleeding from the last touch attack? If so, he will drink a potion of healing.
Have a great time in Me-he-co. I think I will go with my pacifist Oracle. I think healing will be a nice thing to have.
Unless Cain beats Mik to the punch (pun intended), Mik will fly over and cast Magic Missle on the evil cleric unless there are any invisible creatures lurking about which would get Glitterdust instead. Concentration check should be one point higher. Whoa, Momma, you are looking big. Or did I shrink? I feel so inadequate.
Ow, that stung! Mik says to the trog and will let loose an arrow at the trog, clearing his mind and not thinking about dwarves or elves or monkeys nor the image of Griff floating down from above him.
and Mik moves up 10'.
Seeing Griff float down next to him, Mik says, Eh, n-never better. Did I hear you say that ZAO is on Cain's back?. Mik will shakely draw another arrow, steels his nerves, and aims at the Agent's neck. Come on, Mik, let's shoot like an Elf
Mik hangs his head in frustration. Round 5 for poison. Griff, let's leave them and help the monkey-bound folks. and Mik will fly up 25' and move 10' down the hall.
With a shaky hand, Mik draws and notches an arrow to his fine elven bow, lowers himself down the pit 30', and sights in on the trog... Steady, steady. I got a bad feeling about this. ... and fires.
Drat, I'm shooting worse than a dwarf
-2 more if still sickened.
+2 vs Enchantments Mik hollers down the hole at the Agent in draconic, Had-d-d enough yet-t?, in a less stable voice. Also forgot the +2 for the spire but won't be enough. I think my sickened wears off this round, if it only lasts for a minute. I think I failed on Round 0.
Wow, thanks Griff, that helped to even things up a bit. and Mik gives a nod to Griff as he rounds the corner. Mik will fly 5' away from the Agent and then circle back to the corner to avoid any AoO although I think the corner provides cover, glancing down to see if the Trog is moving. Looks like it is just the two of us, ugly. Mik says, hopefully provoking the Agent. Mik will then fire a Focused Shot at the Agent's skull. assuming Bless is still active.
Oh, you dirty, rotten assassin. Mik's Dex drops to 14. Made adjustments to HP and AC so header should be accurate.
I have a crossbowman for ranged and a little front line. He is a one trick pony, doing massive damage with XBow at higher levels. I also have a pacifist Life Oracle for healing who can also soak up damage, focused on nonlethal. In addition, am mostly done with a blood thirsty Metal Oracle for front line damage and healing. I've been exploring the magus class and can easily go that route if we want arcane and rogues are always fun for me, if we want the sneaky thief angle added to the mix.
Hope you feel better. No rush.
Mik has Mirror Image running with three duplicates and believe the agent needs to make a d4 check to see what he hit. Will roll the fort save in case the agent's attack find his intended mark. For the poison.
For the blindness.
Well, that was excellent. Looking directly at the female cleric, Mik says, Your power holds no sway over me witch. Your time is limited and would be best used to make peace with your demon master while your body still holds breath.
Mik will tumble back away from the agent and assassin to around the corner, spinning and popping off a focused shot at the trog acolyte. assuming Bless is still active.
Hey Vesuviasluvsu, sorry to hear but life must come first. I hope things are well with you and I wish you well. Thanks for spending time with us.
I moved Mik to where I probably got a good look at them.
Seeing Griff cast Glitterdust as well as Cain putting some hurt on the assassin, Mik will dismiss the web and watch in wonder as the fire falls to the floor, disappearing. Mik will call out to Kieyanna and Zeromus, Zeromus and Kieyanna, let's circle around. and Mik will move down the upper hallway. If Mik see some bad guys, he might not approach as close as he did.
taking 2 points
I assume I am still sickened. Mik will say, Let me dismiss the web. The assassin is around the corner.
Here is your first lesson, Cain. and Mik signals 'kill'. Mik will then cast Mirror Image and four Miks move up to the edge of webbing. I will dismiss the web when we are ready to move out.
Spoiler: Fort save, if needed.
The two that I'm looking at are a Crossbowman and an Oracle. Eric, I am willing to fill any gap if you are tracking who's who.
A bloody Mik will double move to the hallway. Ivo should be waiting through the double doors, if you can believe a witch. HandJive: We should split up and go both directions so no one can circle behind us. You and Cain go your way and I will take the other two my way.
Mik will smile back, saying, I'm glad you have made peace with your demon master, witch. as he sheaths his sword, draws an arrow and shoots the caster at point blank.
I interpret it as min 1 weapon damage. All bonuses then get applied after the min 1 rule is applied. Your interpretation says the min damage of a non-magical silver weapon is the same as a +1 silver weapon where both have min damage of 1.
Opf. Nice last shot, witch. Tell your demon lord that it was Mik that slayed you. and Mik charges down the spiked pit with his Scout's Charge ability, hoping she doesn't have Uncanny Dodge. Scout's Charge:
Scout’s Charge (Ex) At 4th level, whenever a scout makes a charge, her attack deals sneak attack damage as if the target were flat-footed. Foes with uncanny dodge are immune to this ability.
What the heck is Griff babbling about now? I sure hope those chucks of flesh that flew past the doorway were that pesky rogue. Mik drinks his potion of Cure Serious Wounds and lazily drops the empty vial in front of him and watchs as it rolls into the pit. Mik then flies over the pit while drawing his fine elven blade. Your wish shall be granted, witch. Quickly, make peace with whatever demon you worship and let them know you come to serve them in the afterlife.
Sparkly Mik will tumble through the open spaces between the rogue and witch, flying into the witch's room. If allowed, Mik will transfer the potion from free hand to hand with bow. If not able to hold both, then Mik will drop his bow at the end of his travel and cast with his left hand.
Where is Ivo, witch? Tell me and I will grant you a quick death Reaching the far wall, Mik will spin around in mid air and cast Spiked Pit (Reflex DC 17, 30' deep) under the feet of the witch. I drew a couple of boxes, bright green is pit and light blue is sloped area, dropping into the pit.
Mik purposely looks at the caster and says through gritted teeth, Witch, your magic holds no power over me. Pray you can say the same about my mighty elven bow.
Mik will try to duck the cursed Sawtooth Sabre and fly back 5'. Haven't I shot you enough? Mik says to Red and uses his once per day Impromptu Sneak Attack on Red.
Mik will pull a vial from his potion belt for his Move Action, Cure Serious Wounds. Impromptu Sneak Attack:
Impromptu Sneak Attack (Ex)
Beginning at 3rd level, once per day an arcane trickster can declare one melee or ranged attack she makes to be a sneak attack (the target can be no more than 30 feet distant if the impromptu sneak attack is a ranged attack). The target of an impromptu sneak attack loses any Dexterity bonus to AC, but only against that attack. The power can be used against any target, but creatures that are not subject to critical hits take no extra damage (though they still lose any Dexterity bonus to AC against the attack). At 7th level, an arcane trickster can use this ability twice per day.
Hm, hum hu hm hum Mik hums as he tumbles the first 10' to avoid and AoO's and flies another 10'.
Looking at the caster hiding near him, Mik says in a calm voice, I'm killing you next. and with a pinch of spider's web, a quick hand gesture, and arcane word BbleGm, he casts Web down the hallway at the red circle. Reflex DC 16 please. Not sure if I drew the area of effect correctly. Should get 4 and maybe 5. Dex is down 3, hence the additional -2 for Acrobatics and dropped AC by 2 on tag line.
This is why we lost you know. Superior numbers. Thanks for the reenactment, sir. Not sure if Mik should have his shield bonus as it's a buckler. Thought if he shot in the round (which he did) that shield bonus doesn't get applied. Thinking that the Spiritual Weapon got me too.
Was Mik ever given a description of the assassin that felled Goro? Just curious if any look to be present. Well, there's just an acre of you, aren't there
Mik seems to be able to fight off the first couple of effects but they wear him down. Odd, I'm feeling clumsy again. I swear I turning back into a dwarf.
Well, now, that sure changes the landscape. How about the red Red Mantis to my left and shift straight ahead, increasing elevation a bit to 5' off the ground.
**urp, cough, blegh** Boy, these trogs stink more than Griff Mik will fly down the stairs until he sees an opponent, hovering above the freshly slain trog. Taking aim with his bow he just restrung. Eat feathers, ugly
Mik will then Shift 10' out of the lumbering Cain's way.
If Mik miraculously takes out the trog at the bottom of the steps without raising any alarm, he will continue stealthily down the stairs to the next one, flying about 4 inches off the ground.
Drat, now I'm moving like a dwarf too and Mik checks the back of his hand for any sign of change.
