On the other hand, Liothonae has not yet been blinded, grappled, energy drained, or pushed into mysterious black goo.
Admittedly, she did have a couple of critters vomit on her.
Well, on the upside, maybe Ameiko will find Hrunndalf more attractive when he's the only other four-armed drooling monster in the party apart from her.
And it figures that when I finally crit for the first time after 7 levels, it should happen entirely unnecessarily twice in the same round on the same half-dead creature. :P
It was not anywhere particular near dying before your attack. Just about all of the arrows have been going into the other one.

Waaaaaaaaay too much information there, Mr Jarlsson. :)
I don't know what Kalimac did to shift the invisible bullseye to Liothonae, but I suggest you do it twice.
:P i don't know either :p
I think I traded the bullseye away in exchange for low-rolling dice.
Heat has stopped working in the apartment on a -5 degrees C day.
I feel your characters' pain.
Each PC (and the Caravan fund) receives strange curios and artifacts of alien design worth 200 gp.
How much time has passed since the buffing? Hrunndalf has 3-min and 8-min spells on him (and longer ones, of course). Apart from any potential recasting, he will put a Divine Favor on himself when the elevator is closing in on its destination.
Is there anyone in the party who would want an Enlarge Person to help against the wind?
Oh, and something else: What was the final verdict on Reincarnate supplies? Were the oils available? How many did we purchase? Who is willing to split the costs? Are we also getting Restorations along with them?
Typing from phone - I believe there were supplies available if purchased in small lots. Lio purchased enough for one reincarnation and there was some more available. In fact I was going to let Kalimac know since he asked lio in character... but alas it slipped my mind.
How much time has passed since the buffing?
About two minutes have passed so far.
I will let you know when any of your spells, including the 3-minute shield, are in danger of going down soon.

...could someone remind me, please, how long Bull's Strength lasts?
Bull's Strength is 1 min/CL ~ so 8 minutes for the one Rhost currently has up.

If this is still an option, Myri would contribute.
It is still an option.
So ... it's been pointed out to me that although in theory you've been traveling with all of the NPCs for 4 to 5 months, depending on the NPC in question, in extremely close quarters without much contact with the outside world for weeks at a time, it's been a bit hard to get a sense of the ones that you in particular haven't been interacting with directly.
I've been attempting to alleviate that a little by continuing the fireside chats Hrunndalf started, but I can see that isn't really enough; you would know who is friends with who, what people do during their day, etc., and the campfire conversations don't cover that.
So, at some point soon, I'm going to start a series of posts about things you would have noticed about various NPCs over the course of the last few months. Basically little profiles for the various NPCs.
I would also encourage you, when you have a conversation with an NPC which is in a public place (outside a wagon, within the camp) to make it a public post or put a perception spoiler on it rather than keeping it Completely Totally Private. This is still your choice, but if it's something other people could reasonably overhear, it could help give a sense of who is interacting with who and how.
I will also, of course, continue the campfire conversations as you travel, although I've been holding off on them during the Storm Tower events to keep too much from going on at once. Any of you are also welcome to start any public conversations you like, of course.
Arright, let's try it this way.
Please announce on the ooc board how much you are contributing to the Reincarnation and/or Restoration supply fund, if anything. Feel free to spoiler the amounts if you do not wish people to know how generous and/or stingy you are being.
Also please mention whether you are specifically getting this for yourself (e.g., paying 1,000 gp so Lio will reincarnate you if needed), or making a general contribution for anyone in the group who needs it, or both. That, too, can be spoilered.
If the total funds come to some inappropriate number (e.g. 1,396 gp for Reincarnations), I will reduce it down to the nearest whole 1,000 gp and lessen everyone's contributions proportionally.

If I may suggest, any uneven amount of funds from the reincarnate fund, or other donation of funds given separately could go towards diamond dust for casting restoration... because reincarnating weakens you considerably, and restoration is really useful.

Kalimac has 1000 gp socked away to give to Lio for a possible reincarnation of himself or Attatoq. He'll also contribute his share of a group buy. I think that's 150 gp (-ish) if everyone goes in.
I was also thinking of contributing on the order to 1000 gp. After all, we might need more than one reincarnation, and some supplies for Restoration afterwards (1000 gp/pop) would also come in handy.
Certainly having communal resurrections for whoever needs it makes more sense than keeping personal "life insurances".
How about 2 Reincarnates and 2 Restorations? That way we can either put both Restorations on one person (if only one dies) or spread them across two to ease the symptoms until more diamond dust can be bought. Total 4000 gp, or just a bit more than 500 gp per person.
A thousand's fine although I don't think I want to be reincarnated, should the worst happen.
Kalimac may change his mind regarding whether or not he wants to be reincarnated in the future. But for now the image of Lio laying dead in the pit trap has shaken him. No longer having any illusions of his invulnerability and immortality, he's making sure he has a backup plan.
Later, as he mulls over how Reincarnation works vs. Resurrection he may demur being reincarnated. But for now he'd want it.
The image of Lio impaled at the bottom of the pit trap terrifyied Mel as well.
She took feather fall. She is very glad that she did so.
This particular incident cemented my/Alaric's desire not to be reincarnated.
CUBE OF FROST RESISTANCE: This cube is activated or deactivated by pressing one side. When activated, it creates a cube-shaped area 10 feet on a side. The temperature within this area is always at least 65° F. The field absorbs all cold-based attacks. However, if the field is subjected to more than 50 points of cold damage in 1 round (from one or multiple attacks), it collapses and cannot be reactivated for 1 hour. If the field absorbs more than 100 points of cold damage in a 10-round period, the cube is destroyed.
GEM OF BRIGHTNESS: One command word causes the gem to shed light as a hooded lantern. This use of the gem does not expend any charges, and it continues to emit light until this command word is spoken a second time to extinguish the illumination.
Another command word causes the gem of brightness to send out a bright ray 1 foot in diameter and 50 feet long. This strikes as a ranged touch attack, and any creature struck by this beam is blinded for 1d4 rounds unless it makes a DC 14 Fortitude save. This use of the gem expends 1 charge.
The third command word causes the gem to flare in a blinding flash of light that fills a 30-foot cone. Although this glare lasts but a moment, any creature within the cone must make a DC 14 Fortitude save or be blinded for 1d4 rounds. This use expends 5 charges.
The gem has 50 charges. When all its charges are expended, the gem becomes nonmagical and its facets grow cloudy with a fine network of cracks.
Claimable Items:
Cube of Frost Resistance (13,500 gp)
Gem of Brightness (6,500 gp)
Diamonds (5,000 gp)
Assorted gems and crystals (5,000 gp)
No claims.
Note on the above loot division post:
I allow healing items to be party items. The diamonds are material components of healing spells such as restoration and various resurrection spells.
I would allow someone who is (or eventually can be) capable of casting such spells to claim these as party items, without adding them to their loot total, if:
1) The diamonds are entirely reserved as healing spell components, and cannot be sold, used to buy items, or used for other purposes, and
2) No one simultaneously claims them as personally claimed item that would go on their loot claim sheet.
(Additionally, since this is a rule introduced mid-game, to be fair: if anyone has claimed diamonds in the past, I am willing to retroactively take the amount off of your loot claim total if they have been used for such a purpose, or if you are willing to permanently reserve them for such a purpose for the future, as above.)
No claims.
and... pretty scorpions...
No claims for Kalimac.
I think we should keep the cube as a party item until we get off the ice (though I suppose we won't have a chance to sell it before that anyway). It would make scouting a great deal more bearable.
No claims.
I think someone needs to claim the Cube if we want to keep it in the party.
I'm tempted to have Kalimac claim it, if only to keep it around. If I do that, Kalimac will treat it as a party item, even if it is charged to his Claimed Loot Total.
I'll think about it before updating my claim status.
I now have Book 5 of the AP in PDF form.
If nobody claims it, we will still have to carry it until Ul-Angorn. We won't really have any use for it anymore afterwards... so I think it's not worth biting the bullet.

This is untrue. Someone claims it or it's gone. We've been playing with instant sales for the entire game.
If you insist on some in-game reason, you sell it to the ice gnomes or something.
But more to the point, you are effectively given a choice at the time between taking it as an item or taking it as cash. There are no partially-claimed-items-that-you-can-still-use-for-awhile.
Someone claims it and has it, or no one claims it and no one does. If no one has it, you cannot use it.
Based on its mind-croggingly usefulness, Kalimac will bite the bullet and claim the Cube. But only as a method of keeping it in the party. Anyone else wants it, and I auto-cede the claim.

I personally imagine a geographically appropriate CMOT Dibbler showing up with his cart. Possibly showing up from a rift in Hammerspace. He buys our unwanted gear and departs. Maybe he opens up one of those stores that weren't there the day before to unload what we sold on unsuspecting buyers.
And every time... every time... Alaric buys a sausage inna bun.

I must point out the irony of considering getting a cool and useful magic item somehow "taking one for the team." :)
(Yes; although people have been focusing on its uses as a space heater, which makes it very nifty for this part of the world, even after you leave the Crown of the World it is still very close to being an infinite free mobile ten foot cube of protection from all cold-based damage, with the only real exception being if it ends up protecting you from a massive amount of such damage in a single round.)
Gods and devils, what's wrong with the dice-roller? It's putting out so much love all of a sudden I feel stalked.
(It's probably going to pay me back in the form of an invisible crosshairs, but still.)

If Alaric wants to take the diamonds for party use, I will of course defer... otherwise, I will claim 4000 gp worth of diamonds for party use of restoration/resurrection.
I will also claim 1000gp of diamonds for Lio to use as other spell components/glyph making.
Oh, and I'd like to claim 5 crystals worth a total of 250gp.
I will also claim 1000gp of diamonds for Lio to use as other spell components/glyph making.
I'm fairly certain Lio won't hoard them when resurrection becomes available, so have fun.
