My sister had an operation, so I may be slow in posting for a while.
It has been a very busy week, much of which was spent with my parents whom I was visiting. I have a con this weekend, and I have some family business to take care of next week. I may be a few more days between posts, but don't worry. When I get everything straightened out, I'll be back on the action bandwagon. In the meantime, sit tight, or if I am in your game, please bot me as necessary.
Update: My wife's elderly aunt has been moved into a care facility. My wife and I are tasked with clearing out her room of all her belongings and finding a place to store them. We have about 10 days to do this, and we have our own affairs to worry about as well. To complicate things, she has lost several savings bonds and other important papers (like her will) in her room, so we can't just go in and bulldoze the place. We have to look for the papers as we pack. It's slow going and very tedious, so until we get the room vacated, my posting will be limited, but I will try to keep pace as much as possible.
Sorry to hear you are going through all this. I haven't had to deal with it yet but it's coming in a few years. I saw my dad deal with it with his mother and currently with his mother-in-law. Hang in there. It will get better.
I am traveling for the holiday starting tomorrow AM through Saturday late. May be able to check in the interim, but no promises. Run Finngarth as needed in the interim.
In case anyone is wondering why Groff is doing so little- he is currently charmed by an NPC and commanded to guard them. He has no actual connection to any of the other PCs, so from his point of view his only friend present wants him sitting there on guard.
Unless the charm is dispelled (wearing off is a long time) or events transpire to involve him, like a lump he will sit.
Well the cat's outta the bag now. :) You were asked to protect her. Groff could see that as standing next to her, he could also see that as going out and finding the dangers. "The best defense is a good offense."
He'd do it if it were suggested, but right now it would mean tagging along with strangers who he as no reason to trust, and leaving her alone with other strangers.
I've been travelling for work and originally thought I'd be able to keep up, but I'm finding little time for keeping up. Please bare with my lulled activity a couple more days and then things should be back to normal.
I'm back from my trip, so Ianfir is idling nearby until the commotion with that rude guy being killed eases.

Magic items are identified by using the detect magic spell and spellcraft. You have detect magic prepared as a cantrip so you can cast it an unlimited number of times. The identify spell adds 10 to the spellcraft roll if you cast it as well but it is not mandatory to use it when identifying items. It does take a little time to identify things
I am travelling again for work through the weekend, so posting will be limited for the duration if any at all.
Loot recorded
Cure moderate wounds potion
Gold cigar case filled with ten cigars and tools
MWK studded leather
Silver case (tindertwig)
Small necklace pouch filled with gold and silver teeth
Grindle-Slash (monogrammed mwk spiked chain)
Thanks for the squares Groff. What did you do to create those? I wasn't having any luck.
Used the shape tool and did transparent fill.
Used the shape tool and did transparent fill.
Thank you. I was having trouble finding transparent fill. Probably cause I was in a hurry. I drew wife aggro.
I never have understood why slashing and piercing weapons are effective against tiny swarm creatures, but bludgeoning are not. I am certain I could hit a dozen of them with a baseball bat, but only skewer one at a time with a spear...
Happy Holidays and have a Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all! You each find a level 1 potion in your stocking. Please tell everyone what kind it was.
Merry Christmas all.
I'll take oil of bless weapon.
Potion of Shield of Faith +2 for me. Thanks for your benevolence!
I'd like a potion (or oil) of shield.
Spells with a range of personal cannot be made into potions.
Please pick another potion.
Potion of Shield of Faith +2 for me. Thanks for your benevolence!
You are most welcome.
I can't take credit however. I stole the idea from a slightly more generous DM who gave use 2nd level potions.
Mage Armor works.
Third the thanks, and I'll take a potion of cure light wounds.
Ianfir, please add to the loot potions of lesser restoration, bear's endurance and another cure moderate rooms...
Done
Lesser Restoration is a level 1 Paladin potion right? That one might be handy.
All, I am in the midst of con season and I have two cons in the span of a month, one of which I am working as staff. If I am slowing things down, please feel free to bot me. If you are in my group, please be patient and I will check in as often as time allows. Things should be back to normal after the first weekend in March.
I'm leaving for a ski weekend and will be unlikely to post until Sunday. Bot me as needed.
Does anyone have magical or ghost-touch weapons?
I can cast magic stone and get 3 pebbles that are treated like magic weapons for 1d6+1 dmg. I can also channel a few more times today. We should be able to take this thing down if anyone else has anything that would be effective.
Looking at my inventory, I don't even have any alchemist fire, so I'm no use.
I will be on vacation from tomorrow until Sunday. I will likely not have time for posting. Bot me as needed.
Where are we in the order? (Hopefully not Ianfir)
I apologize for letting this go so long without any updates. I was waiting for another attack or action from the party and reviewing things it looks like the party all went.
I am using block initiative so it's you go they go once the first round is resolved. If you would rather I use a standard init, I can do that.
Sorry to hear that. Hope all goes well with him. I've had some of those issues myself and ended up with surgery.
Wishing for the best, Seldion.
Speedy recovery to him Seldion.
I will be away for work the next two evenings and likely unable to post.
I am going to be at a con until Monday and will likely be unable to post. Please bot me as necessary or, if you are in my game, be patient and I will pick up on Monday evening or Tuesday morning.
Sorry to hear that. You have my condolences. Take the time you need to be with your family.
Condolences as well, Seldion.
