Honestly the reason I couldn't find the inspiration to post was the fact that I really didn't have anything I could do. Couldn't get Zayid unstuck, couldn't see or do anything a bout what was attacking him, so every time I went to post I just drew a blank. I think this was one of those concepts that works at the table and not that well in a PBP, like many a dungeon crawl.
Will post in a couple hours, just leaving work.
As am I
Zariah fluidly slips through the opening, gasping in surprise at the beauty before her. Acrobatics
Plucking the amulet up delicately, Zariah places it in a pouch at her waist, determined to study it later in depth.
Zariah kneels, studying the amulet as a flicker of silver flame passes across her eyes.
Zariah nimbly makes her way down, her supple form shimmying down the rpe with ease.
Zariah at +0
Get some rest, we'll be here.
Works for me.
"Probably a long history of treasure seekers bearing metal, in fact the only better place for such creatures would be the remnants of a battlefield." Zariak says as she Picks up her khukri from where she tossed it.
You know I'm a fan of your Gm'ing style. That being said I agree that the problem isn't really the setting which is great, but the lack of a draw to the characters and players being emotionally invested. If the players are emotionally immeresed into their characters and the mission, they'll gladly go through hell for the sake of the story. "You're convicts. Go find these people if you want a chance at being set free." Isn't all that compelling, and there's nothing to really tie the characters to what they're doing, the dungeon or each other. The number of characters is definitely a factor though because whatever we're doing, somebody's standing around feeling useless. I think in a case like this with a setting so unique in flavor, the scerio needs to be a bit more tailored to the characters to draw them in.
Zariah draws out a flask of flammable oul, prparing to throw it at the creatures should they again come within range.
Hey all, just spent the last 48 hrs dealing with being hacked, getting rid of intrusions, re-securing home network and changing every password, reissuing credit cards etc. Should be back up to speed tomorrow.
Here as well.
Will post tonight, map giving me an error at work
Cool, somehow I always seem to end up burning things in your games. On the plus side, I don't think illumination's going to be a problem.
Not sure if to roll the 1d6 fire damage for each bug or not, please advise.
Zariah darts forward, her hand flaring as she touches the oil, bringing the area to life with flame.
Here
Keeping her weapon sheathed, Zaraiah rushes forward to engage the first of the odd creatures , her hand blossoming with flame as she touches it.
Same here, here but not overly useful at the moment.
Zaraiah makes her way down after Mahsati.
"Shall we continue forward or venture to get past this wall of serpents?"
"There are no simple and instant magics that can change a living person. At least, not that I have ever heard of."
"I am generally unharmed by fire. Perhaps I can act as the trigger, I need only worry about the bites. If I am prepared, I may be swift enough"
"This is true elder one, as the only of us unharmed, the pool is filling you inner reserves to bursting. As one who interacts with his own power rather than that of the Gods, I believe it would not be safe for you to remain here."
Definitely staying in the room until fully healed.
"They will not follow as long as we do not threaten what they have been created to protect. The magic that gives them power is very literal and specific." Zariah muses, absently massaging the site of the now healed snake bite on her calf. Knowledge Arcana
I was actually only bit once but failed each save (misunderstood and kept making saves each round)
So no longer under the effects of the poison right?
Zariah continues to mumble incoherently
Zariah simply stands in one spot swaying slightly as she babbles incoherently.
As she feels the poison burning in her flesh, Zariah's mind clouds. Looking into the chaos around her she feels the treat of her enemies around her, her hand darting forward to strike the enemy before her.
Crit confirmation
Fort
So the one person with fire resistance hasn't been exposed to fire, this is turning out to be a nasty trap/encounter. Very nice.
On the other side of the wall of combatants, Zariah finds herself unable to engage. Realizing that the light may be hampering the others not blessed with her ability to peer through the darkness, she bends down, fluidly gathering up as stone as she chants an incantation to her goddess. She quickly tosses the now glowing rock over the melee, casting light in their midst to alleaviate the hampering shadows.
Moving swiftly Zariah draws her kukri and enters the room, seemingly ignoring the effects of the diminished light.
Actually if they're more than 30ft away I autofail the perception check if it's visual as per Oracle's curse. However I have darkvision if they're within 30 ft so it's kinda weird. Let me know if I see it and I'll react accordingly.
Here awaiting the BOOM!
Forgot that.
Knowledge Religion Zariah studies the odd cryptic symbols, Zariah’s voice takes on an odd, distanced tone, speaking at almost the same time Farooq does. “These writings speak great blasphemies, claiming Set and his followers possessing dominion over that which belongs to other gods. The skies, power over the afterlife…...”
"What I can tell of the left one, it curses the target in some way when the pictographs touch each other. The stink of undeath is strong" Zariah intones ominously.
As Zayid moves with the cabinet door, Zariah inspects the crystalline vials, a whisper of magic dancing on her tonuge as shimmering blue flames flicker in her eyes.
"I am sure a whip will do you little good." Zariah adds.
