A module wrap-up would be nice yeah. Feels like about the right scope. (And I'm curious about how this all fits together :P)

Thank you for running it as far as you did. And thank you for spending your free time helping us have fun : ) I'm a little sad that we won't continue. But! Real life is important. Your fun is important. And if it doesn't work it doesn't work. No need to apologize. I don't feel abandoned since you did communicate with us - and that's the most important bit. My best wishes to you and all your endeavors. And hopefully we get the chance to play together again in the future! --- As for trying to pick it up with another gm I'm not sure how I feel. Have to think about it. Does the party have any thoughts?
Happy New year :)
"Curious. Do you think this rooms apparent connection to Desna would be a reason for the cult to hold it - or a mere coincidence?" the clockwork analyses the butterfly and astronomical motifs. They were indeed "pretty" which didn't quite fit in with the rest of the building which was clearly not "pretty". She guessed it would be closer to "creepy" or, possibly, "chic" though she wasn't quite sure on the exact definition of that. She'd had to ponder more on that mystery later. For now - evil cults and dreams! Following her companions to the webbed room she leans in and looks around. "Webs." she corrects them. "I see no spiders. Isn't that strange?"
Yes there have been some pretty awesome moments : )
It doesn't sound like fun on your end anymore, it sounds like a chore. While curious as to what's in the depths of this house - and our dreams - I don't want to satisfy that curiosity at the cost of your dread. If you think that you'd feel better for stopping please don't hesitate to do so. We all understand, I hope, and telling us ahead will mean it's still say top 30% attendance :P --- Now I'll take a look at your big IC post and hope things aren't as rough as they sound : )
"Excellent idea Mia." Ophelia nods and looks around in the room. Now that there wasn't anything trying to kill them, they should take a good look.
"Holding out our arms and spinning might help locate it? Otherwise; some pigment we could spread in the area. Just enough dust might do it?"
"Yes. Seeing makes things easier." Ophelia agrees with a chime.
Ophelia stabs the ground, and hopefully something on it, hard. "It should be taken care of. Shall we recoup and advance?"
"I can stab it, but it will dispel the illusionary targeting system. Acceptable at this time I think." Ophelia nods and slowly approaches the fallen critter. Once within spear-range she tries a coup de grace. "Pokey stick engaged!"
Anyone have a hugely oversized and airtight container? :P
"No. It is still for the moment." She moves the target down to the floor. "I am unsure how to proceed; a ruse or unconsciousness?"
"Almost!" Ophelia chimes, her iron tendons tightening the grip around her spear. She would love to lash out and finish the monster but she was not sure if she could afford the lapse of concentration.
"A shame." Ophelia echoes hollow.
After this fight we are gathering up a bunch of dust and dirt and stuff into a bag and have it so we can throw it at the next invisible thing that comes around :P
Ophelia continues to target the invisible assailant. "It seems damaged. Excellent! Diene; how are you holding up?"
Boop! I'm down with a cold and the creative juices aren't quite flowing as intended. Sorry :/
Rolls:
Also this thing feels invisible and stalk-y for some reason :P "In my pack; there a scroll of cure light wounds there." Ophelia offered, though she suspected that it wouldn't be too helpful. Diene had never struck her as the reading type ...
"Excellent strike Isama! You got a chunk of its head. It's still up though ..."
Ophelia adjusts the targeting and tries to determine how injured the critter was. Hopefully it was on its last leg ...
"It's still moving." Ophelia helpfully notes as the creature slashes/bites/punches Diene. She keeps the wand and the spell trained on the critters center of mass as best she could
"Stay on target!" Ophelia encouraged her companions and moved her marker.
Happy new year! : )
Hmh. The next time I'll try to remember to give the See Invisible extract to someone with Glitterdust/Fairy Fire^^
"There!" Ophelia points at the empty space by Diene and attempts to describe the monster's location as best as she can. She advances and describes the target at the same time, not doing an adequate job of either. Eventually she makes a mechanical sigh and draws her wand of silent image. "Hit the red blob!"
"That seems unnatural!" the talking clockwork exclaims and points to the cracks in the floor. She swiftly regains her composure and advances on the weird room with spear in hand.
Ophelia carefully pats Daria on her back. Poor thing!
"That's illegal." Ophelia helpfully points out to the man out of habit. She could feel an itch at the back of her mind, but arresting this confessing drug runner wasn't really on the top of their priorities. Plus they weren't here in official capacity anyhow ... The clockwork carefully moves in the direction of Diene. Better stick together in this weird place!
What is G13? Looks like some sort of cage, but that might just be me. Unless it is some sort of portal or something I'd say we should check it first. Just to keep our back free!
"I am concerned that the laughter *is* the attention we seek not to attract. Regardless - don't try anything stupid down there!" Ophelia chimed first. Then she moved up to secure the door. "I am not opposed to pressing on. On the condition that all are back to their senses. As much as normal at least."
"And you are not one of those 'damned, creepy cult' followers? I would believe otherwise!" Ophelia does her best to frown. If the people with spider-sickles weren't the cultists they were looking for; how much more insane would it get? On the bright side Mia seemed to be coming back at least. Now if Diene would do so too ... The clockwork stole a quick glance at her companions. "Mia? Are you there?"
Yeah since we are really not seeing anything hostile Ophelia isn't feeling like rushing forward with half the team giggling. A turn is only like 6 seconds right? So unless something happens we might hop one forward at least?
"Hmph!" Ophelia tried to conceal her worry behind annoyance. Hopefully her companions would snap out of it, whatever that was, really soon. She stepped a bit closer to them, just in case a physical attack would follow the magic. But she kept her spear pointed in the general direction of the cultists still. "Where's the rest of your 'friends'?"
"Now what is the meaning of this?" the clockwork chimed angrily and pointed her bloody spear at one of the tripped cultists. It was clearly not right and greatly unnerving. Plus knowing how this worked might be very helpful if she ever decided to venture into this 'joke' business!
Heya guys the site is back up : ) Though it's only been down for a week but details eh!
"No this doesn't seem entirely normal." Ophelia notes and steps closer to the (hopefully) fallen cultist. "Don't move!"
Oh that's right. Luckily Ophelia's dice helped out and splattered cultist heartblood all over the room so maybe no-one notices :-)
Oops indeed. But haven't she decked people pretty violently before? Hmm ... --- @Fear Save - I'm going to guess it's from an evil source. Magic Circle might give you a small save bonus then (depending on if you already have a resistance bonus or not; circle is +2). Not much but it's something :-)
Seeing the last cultist trying to escape Ophelia sweeps with her bloody spear at his legs. She wanted to cry out for him to stop but since they were on leave that only felt awkward.
---
The clockwork shrugs off the strange compulsion, if only because she wasn't entirely sure how to laugh. At least not in *that* way. Odd. Her tiny friend seemed to be making a concentrated effort to laugh for both of them at least. She wasn't sure if that was a good thing, but that seemed doubtful.
Hopefully you'll feel better soon : )
Ophelia takes a quick moment to give Daria a glance and a chance at a reasonably clear shot before stepping infront of her and up between Isama and Diene. She took aim at the thug she had studied, trying to predict how he would move, and stabbed at the heart!
Ophelia slowly raises her spear towards Thug B, trying to read his movements.
Second paragraph of the "Polymorph" subschool. It says something along the lines of "bla bla gain all natural attacks of forms assumed with Polymorph effects". Sorry on my phone so I can't link the actual wording! (Or rather; I'm too lazy to do that^^) But yeah the summary is that you can bite people if you want :-) Note: assuming your thing works "as beast shape" or one of the other transmutation: Polymorph spells of course.
Ophelia doesn't feel like trying to push forward and attack will accomplish much, except perhaps a tangly mess, so she instead spends the first few seconds carefully observing the thug Daria shot. Does not appear to be arrow resistant at the very least!
For a several hundred pound heavy pile of metal Ophelia could be somewhat quiet when she wanted. Somewhat at least.
"It might also be wise to utilize the vermin repellent. If it is what the cultists use, we would fit in."
"Interesting." Ophelia notes and then carefully places the book back in her pack, were it was safe. ' "Let me just apply a few drops of poison to Daria's bolts - then we can head - hmm - down?"
