Indeed, all the best to everyone - and thanks for welcoming a replacement witch. ;)

Well, if Aarvid is also stepping back, I think it's safe to say this is gone. It's generally *very* challenging to get a replacement GM - and the remarkably rare times that *does* work, it kinda needs an established party - which we've also lost. So, that to say, I guess I don't need to worry about my level 5 spells after all. ;)
Sidius - teleport is always good. Cloudkill can be good in many situations but is ineffective against devils, elementals and undead. All of which appear in the later episodes. So actual mileage will vary. It's been a rough AP, honestly. Witch spelllist isn't useful against outsiders and undead, generally. But at least I can heal? I'll look again for something that's potentially of broader use (that won't just be save-negated every time I cast it). But, yes, it's hard to beat Teleport.
Sidius says, "I don't relish the thought of letting the remaining Thrunites fire at us while we try to save them, honestly -- but we can do our best while you figure this out."
Sidius shakes his head, "Was raised to be a proper vassal. I can recite liturgies about Asmodeus, but that's about all I know of gods.... "
Sidius casts a quick spell and looks at the crumbled statues and the magic that had sustained them, wondering if there is any lingering magical energies or special components that might be re-usable.
Sidius whistles, Looks like Talvek found a flaw in that one.., and draws his crossbow, even as his tiny companion fires a blast of air at the remaining guardian.
Totally understand that -- real life comes first -- especially family.
My mom passed away last night. So I will be flying home after dealing with some of the arrangements for her. Condolences to you and your family, Aarvid.
Sidius tries to heal Kenji, while Aeria continues her attack.
Sidius sighs, Constructs can't be hexed..., and casts a quick spell on his tiny companion before she joins the combat. for
Sidius nods, "Makes sense, Torag is a builder, and was worshipped by more than just dwarves -- even if the statues suggest more than that."
Hi folks, I'm about to be away for 10 days - but with the usual "post-trip" recovery time, I think it's safer to say I'm away 'til Jan 14th (so we can all be pleasantly surprised if I'm online sooner). Please feel free to bot Sidius while I'm gone - though at this point, if there's a fight, he pretty much needs to hide behind his familiar (though he can still hex).
Sidius thanks the jann, "Likely so, given that they took the effort to hide it. Thank you again, Zorumar."
Sidius smiles, "Thank you," and follows.
Thanks, GM. Happy Holidays!
Sidius ponders for a moment, then says, "Wouldn't Lucian's death mean that you are free? Or are you bound to obey the orders of the commander of this keep? Because... I think, at this point, that would be... us."
Sidius nods, "You could say that things have gone poorly for Lucian... and the garrison."
Sidius asks, "Well, if we had an army at hand, we could leave a garisson here to fight off the Thrune... but, since we don't, it might be better to try to figure out how to destroy it."
Sidius follows, then nods, casting a detect magic before starting to try to study the magic items.
Sidius agrees, "It's too bad we don't have the means to take all the arms and armour. Might be helpful to equip resistance cells -- and I certainly rather them be in our hands than those of Thrune loyalists."
Sidius nods, "Thought we all were, honestly," reaching up a hand for Aeria to rub against, sending her a wave of appreciation and thanks over their empathic link. Sidius pauses, "I agree we should keep the news of this from getting out, tactically -- but at the same time, the boost to our reputation for having managed it isn't a terrible side effect. That to say, this getting out later, in a way we control - would not be the worst thing that could happen."
I'm also good to keep going, though my own work has me being a little more spotty than I used to be.
Sidius takes the spell energy from his lone remaining spell, converting it to healing magic before reaching forward to touch Talvek.
Aeria fires a blast at the commander. for
Sidius climbs the stairs, and then hurls a hex at the creature when he can see it, and his tiny companion fires a blast of air.
for
Sidius follows Arcos, trying to catch up to Talvek and offer the limited support he can.
That wasn't the big fight? Well, that's disappointing, considering how dry the witch-well is running.
Sidius carefully follows, keeping watch for more crossbowmen as he does.
Sidius points and a Celestial Eagle appears, flying up to engage with the crossbowmen. His spell complete, he steps back into the room for cover, clenching the pearl of power in his pouch, his mind filling with the spell pattern for a snowball.
Sidius ducks back into cover and begins to cast a summoning spell.
Sidius converts his last offensive spell to healing, trying to keep Kenji on his feet in case the crazed knight rushes down to meet them.
Sidius quickly casts another spell and hurls a ball of ice at the fleeing wyvern, while Aeria fires another blast of air.
for
Sidius gathers his will and throws a slumber hex at the knight, while Aeria fires another blast at the Wyvern.
for
Sidius quickly casts another snowball at the Wyvern, while Aeria fires another blast of air at it.
Sidius winces at the spellblast, then moves forward, only to find his way blocked by the knight and his flying mount. Having little magic left, both he and his familiar do their best to incapacitate the Wyvern before it can take off again.
How are we looking now? Kind of outgunned? ;)
"Not as such," Sidius says in response to the Paladin before casting a fly spell -- which his familiar quickly flies over and delivers.
Very sorry to hear that, Arvid.
Apologies for the late notice -- I'm on vacation, but the internet availability isn't terribly good. I'll be back on August 8, but it's probably best to bot Sidius and not hold things up.
"Short distance like that, probably a dimension door," Sidius suggests.
Sidius quickly casts a spell to heal himself.
