Tuesday I'm headed to Singapore, I'll be back on the 21st. Ill have email but it wont be all day. Don't wait for my posts. I'll insert thoughts when I can.
Cheers!
Enjoy!
Bueller? ... anyone?
Uhm....well, Maeve stepped into the crypt? I was kinda waiting to see if anything happened or if anyone would follow.
....you know, I could just see Maeve trying to walk through a locked gate if the scene on the other side was pretty enough anyway. ^^;
Too bad it's too late to go back and edit my post.
Sorry, was waiting for a post to describe the crypt door, as I had my crossbow ready. Did we ever decide what to do with that fungus?
You were discussing the fungus last I checked. Also discussing swimming the tunnel to the west, and maybe swimming in the cistern. ;o)
Remember, with the flex-time, you can always go back to resume/re-attack rooms, if you think there was something missed or forgotten.
Ouch... that channel roll couldn't have been much worse! ;o)
I'll wait a couple hours to see if Parity can reply from overseas... if not, I'll press on with his "most likely" actions.
Yeah I let slip a few curses when I saw that result. If that guy has another blight ready we're toast.
What did i know on my knowledger check? Weaknesses etc.
...and it takes all of the fight, but I finally manage to get a hit in! YAY!
At least, I really hope so.
Returning home tonight … 20+hour travel … should be back in sync on Saturday evening.
Loot!
Under the assumption that you eventually identify all the magic items, I'll list them here:
- wand of scorching ray, 27 charges
- circlet of persuasion
- +1 light steel shield of light fortification with an image of Brinewall Castle
- pearl of power (1st level)
- ring of the ram, 10 charges
- the wayfinder (link to more info)
- 1,320 gold
- a smattereing of small gems worth 800 gp total
Enjoy!
Well, the Circlet is certainly nice for Maeve, although it's not certain how long I'd keep it.
Parity would be interested in the shield and the pearl although the pearl is probably best for Harlan.
Guess that leaves the wand for me. Want to roll for the wayfinder?
The Pearl only works for prepared casters, so the only one it does anything for at all is Mal.
Good call on the pearl. Missed that. Mal it tis.
Ah ok then I will take it, gives me another Shocking grasp.
Wand is up for grabs then.
Wand seems silly for me to use ... can't see to target.
BTW, did we ID the kusari-gama and the potions from earlier?
I guess I can take the wand, then. UMD at least lets me use it.
What potions? ...did I miss something?
After you fully identify the kusarigama, you learn that it is called Dancing Wasp. It is +1 enchanted, and makes the shrill buzzing when it is spun. Once per day, as a standard action, the user can whirl the weapon to summon a giant wasp, appearing in the air above the wielder's head. The wasp will follow the weilder's mental commands to the best of its ability as long as the user continues to spin the weapon (requiring a standard action each round) to a maximum of 5 rounds, after which the wasp vanishes.
Could Harlan ride the wasp? Because that would be just plain fun.
I'll hold on to the wayfinder, the light is useful and if we find an ioun stone it'll come in handy.

I'd do it too. :D
Heh. Though it occurs to me that, in the long run, we're probably going to want at least a way to communicate with the caravan on a one-way basis.
...or Mal's new familiar can probably do it until we get more options. @_@. It's late.
Wouldn't the "Shiny Pearls" have value (and thus probably go with the gold if we can figure it out?)
The ink is just normal writing ink, not magical or exotic in any way. The pearls are worth about 100 gold each.
Maeve is /weird./

Lol! I'm kinda confused why you would give your nice, bejeweled pin to the obviously sociopathic evil fey...
Maeve isn't so sure about the 'evil' part, basically. Now, obviously she's creepy and dangerous but if she's just been making 'art' out of the remains of people the other castle's inhabitants have been slaughtering this whole thing has been kinda rude. And she didn't want to take the stuff from someone who didn't try to kill her in the first place.
Mal is torn between walking away in disgust or killing the little crazy fey.
Well, yes, that's how I would expect someone sane to see this situation. We have no use for your sanity.
This whole encounter is really amusing to me.
Quiet today...
Well, I was asleep for most of it, but yes.
Just trying to decide if we're going to gank the quickling or go through the Maeve shaped hole in the wall.
Flex-time. In theory, we can do both.
I was worried about being in 2 combat actions at the same time. Do I Color spray the little freak or wait to see what Maeve stumbles upon.
