Due to my workload unexpectedly increasing in real life, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to drop all my PBEMs, including this one. I feel horrible about it, this is truly one of the more enjoyable games I have been involved in. Best of Luck to you all and Bill, Thank you very much. You are a great GM!
As the skeleton seems to deal his brother a death blow, Sharrd darts around to stop the skeleton from following his brother. "Come on you abomination, its time for you to return to the grave." and he tries once again to disrupt the magic animating it.
Sharrd dances around behind Masamune yelling. "Get him, brothers. Kick his bony ass!" He continues to fire is Disrupt Undead ray, but seems to be concentrating more on distracting the skeleton than hitting it.
I was very sick this weekend with a stomach flu and have spent the last two days trying to catch up. Sorry.
Sharrd brings the light up so they shine down the corridor. Then he moves forward, ready to run back, until he is within range of the skeleton (30')
Sharrd follows close behind Alara but doesn't enter the new passageway. Instead he presses up against the wall and recasts his message spell on the ninja just to be sure. He uses the message and his lights to provide just the right amount of illumination for Alara.
"What do you think we should do different?" Sharrd asks.
"I'll zap it with my new spell, Masamune and Alara will smash it to pieces and Ash will keep us alive while you inspire us." Sharrd replies. "Simple!"
"Well, sounds like he has our stuff." Sharrd says with a smile.
"Wow Ash, that was amazing!" Sharrd exclaims.
Sharrd says a few words in draconic and reaches his hand past Ash's shoulder.
A bolt of blue white energy flies from his fingers and slams into one of the skeletons.
Sharrd moves up next to Ash and readies a Disrupt Undead Spell to toss at the first skeleton that moves.
"Oooh, Skeletons!" Sharrd calls back to the others as he readies his mace. Just In Case.
Sharrd moves himself and the light up to Alara. Straining he tries to make out what lies on the floor.
Sharrd moves up behind Piper and Alara, sending his lights a little down the side tunnel so that it doesn't backlight them. He seems a little dejected at the lack of undead.
"Thanks Ash. Did you see the size of that thing! It like grabbed me and was going to eat me."Sharrd excitedly says. Disappointed by the lack of treasure, Sharrd expresses his opinion as to the quarzite. "I think it looks pretty where it is." Then he sees Alara heading off down the the tunnel. "Be careful, Alara" he yells after her, not helping with the sneaking.
"Son of a biscut!" Sharrd yells as he finds himself wrapped up by the goo. The acid burns through his clothes and his skin begins to blister. In a rage, Sharrd drops his spear as his hands lengthen to become talons. He starts to slash away at the ooze.
As the ooze, well...., oozes from the water Sharrd gives a battle yell and stabs it with his spear. "Brother, get up here!"
"Sure, I can swim." Sharrd replies as he readies his spear. "Let's get up to the edge of the pool and if it's something dangerous in the water, I'll try and spear it." He then starts to move back towards the dancing lights. As he peers into the cavern he moves the light over the pools surface so he can get a better view of the pool and what riches lie strewn across the island.
Leaving the lights where they are, Sharrd steps behind his brother so that he can talk to everyone at once. In a quiet voice he says. "Cave deadends at a pool with an island with treasure on it. But there's something moving in the water, I can't make it out."
Sharrd nods at Piper's suggestion. He floats the light down the right passageway, trying to sneak up behind it.
Yes, Happy Easter to one and all!
Sharrd takes a moment to recast his dancing lights, this time froming it into a spectral golden glowing humanoid and then floats it down the left hand passage, hiding at the corner to see what happens.
With the dancing lights in front of him, Sharrd starts to walk down the passageway until he reaches the junction, at which point he carefully looks and listens.
I added a 'dancing lights' icon to your map Bill to help with determining where the illumination is. If you mind just delete it. Sharrd will have to stop every 2 minutes or so and recast the spell.
Sharrd moves over to the opening and sends his dancing lights about 20' down. "Well, let's get going and kick some necromancer butt."
Sharrd picks up the satchel without complaint. "I'll carry this for you." he volunteers.
Sharrd shakes his head. "I bet Koya might have something. She tried to teach me some medicine, but it was soooo boooring. Ash always paid attention though." he says looking hopefully in his direction.
"It's OK, Alara. It's dead." And he hits it again with his mace just to make sure.
Look at the size of him! Sharrd thinks as he tries to squoosh it with his mace.
Congrats!!!
Sharrd moves after his brother, looking worridly after Alara as she charges past. He soon sees the beastie and warily circles around it so that it has to divide its attention between him and Masa. He gets ready to smack it with his mace next round.
Which is exactly what Sharrd does. He casts Dancing Lights floating ahead of his big brother as he follows Masamune into the cave.
Sharrd whispers to Alara and writes to Piper. I can't see a thing right now. How about I create a glowing figure over the water there just before I cast Ghost Sounds. If anything it will help trick it out there and it will provide light.
Sharrd follows about 20' behind Alara, at least until it gets to dark to see.
"I think we should deal with 'Legs' first. Otherwise it might overhear us and try sneaking up on us instead of the otherway around."
About every 10 seconds, Sharrd whispers to Alara over the message. "Find anything yet?"
Sharrd tries to cast message on her before she leaves.
"Easy to get rid of." he replies and with a gesture they wink out of existence. "Who should go first?" he asks.
Sharrd says to Jacen. "Thanks, Ash." As the others cut at the vines, he draws one of his javelins in one hand and motions with the other and says a few words in Draconic.
Sharrd says. "Heal me up, brother. I got stabbed. Right here." he pulls his shirt up, proudly displaying his battle wound.
Sharrd peers over Piper's shoulder at the map. "So where do we go from here?" he asks.
Better prep that featherfall. LOL
Sharrd tries to pry the nameplate off of the ship after looking around. Once he has it or it proves inaccessible he turns to Piper and asks. "Well I guess it's the other ship. If the fireworks started out in this one then they would have either burnt up or been buried in mud and the ones we got from the goblins don't show signs of either."
Interesting. I came in to Pathfinder from a 3.5 ed. background when they changed to 4th and I have never noticed that undead can take crits. Learn something new every day. I'm probably going to get thrown from the balcony when I tell my players that I've had it wrong for such a long time:)
Sharrd watches Alara flip up behind the skeleton. Even though he is grimacing in pain he still says. "Wow!" He tries to take advantage of the skeleton suddenly having two foes to deal with to smash it to bits.
With a cry of alarm, Sharrd draws his mace and gives a mighty swing at the skeleton.
He stumbles on his uneven footing and the attack is wild. He looks around desperately. "Who's summoning them?" he yells.
Sharrd says a few words in Draconic and suddenly a large croak emanates from the other side of the ship (1/2 the volume of a roaring lion) as if a giant frog has arrived. He turns to Piper and says. "That should shut the insects up." He waits a few seconds to see if anything emerges. If not then he starts to climb the hull.
