[4e] Adventures in the Planes - OOC

[DSCrankshaw]

Congrats, Hzurr. I look forward to reading it.

[Hzurr]

Hmm...ok, so the party is still a bit scattered. Unless someone says otherwise soon, I'm going to assume that y'all are headed to Sigil. Toric should be back from wedding/honeymoon shenanigans before too long. Mando, if you have any alternate plans or anything to add, now's the time.

[Hzurr]

Hmm...ok, so now I'm a bit torn. Haven't heard anything from Mando or Toirc. I don't really like the idea of trying to NPC two major characters. Do we want to pause things a bit until they're back in commission?

[DSCrankshaw]

That might be a good idea. Especially for Mando, as this is important for Aramil's character arc.

[Mando Knight]

Sorry, I've been distracted. I'll post IC in a bit.

[dariathalon]

How to tell when you have Hzurr exasperated with us. (Emphasis mine.)

Honestly, I'm okay either way. Mando sounds like he's back with us now, hopefully. And Toric really hasn't been around much since his wedding anyway. I guess I'm okay to go, but if you'd rather pause until he's back too that's fine (as long as we're sure he's coming back.)

[Orsik Vondal]

I agree with Dar. I'm ready to head back to Sigil if you want to.

[Hzurr]

Out of curiosity, what are y'all telling Lucan is the reason you're headed to Sigil (or are you going to try and slip him the truth)?

[dariathalon]

That's a good question actually. If only the person spying on Lucan were as easy to... shall we say... redirect? as Lucan can be.

I think it's probably best to be honest with him. Pavick can perform a sending ritual or two that should beam the message straight to his brain without the chance of Lena overhearing it. Hopefully that will keep the spy out of the loop too. I'll give anybody a chance to object first, in case you see a better option. If nobody objects, I'll post IC about it... sometime soonish. I'm about to step out for the evening, and with this being a holiday weekend I'm bound to be pretty busy. (Holiday Road from National Lampoon's Vacation is totally running through my head right now. I think I needed this weekend. :smallcool:)

[Orsik Vondal]

I'm down with the Sending.

[DSCrankshaw]

I thought the whole idea behind the spill was to keep Lucan out of this meeting. On the other hand, I'm not sure that makes much sense, as we can't tell Selene what's going on any more than we can tell Lena, so I'm not sure there's much point in trying to keep Lucan and Lena out of the room. I'm not sure I was expecting a confrontation with Selene right away, but I can work with this.

PS I'm writing this on a new smartphone with a gesture keyboard, so there may be the occasional weird typo.

Ah, sorry, my understanding was that you simply didn't want to give warning prior to confronting her. We can rewind things a bit, if I misunderstood what y'all were planning. I was just trying to get things moving since stuff slowed down a bit during August.

[DSCrankshaw]

Nah, go ahead. As I said, that plan doesn't make as much sense in retrospect.

[Mando Knight]

No, getting directly to the point is refreshing.

[DSCrankshaw]

Lucan has a couple of songs with compulsory effects. Lullaby and anthem of unity, in particular. I'm not sure either of them would be effective here, though. Anyone have any other spells that could calm Selene down.

[dariathalon]

Here is Pavick's long list of rituals. I've highlighted ones that I think might be particularly useful here, but if you see others that might help, let me know.


Planar Portal
Comprehend Language
Brew Potion
Object Reading - not immediately useful, but could be once we get the eye removed. I believe this is what Pavick used to learn about the last eye we got.
Tenser's Floating Disk
Magic Circle - in case we need to hold her here for a time.
History Revealed - we can dig a little into what has happened to Selene, so long as this is considered one of her life's "defining moments"
Create Teleportation Circle
Planar Sending
Water's Gift
Consult Oracle - basically another divination to get more questions answered, again probably not as immediately useful but will probably be shortly.
Soulguard
Forbiddance - can ward an area against scrying for a time, but requires that Pavick be higher level than the creature attempting to scry, so in this instance probably worthless.
Unseen Servant
Make Whole
Overland Flight
Glib Limerick
Knock
Transfer Enchantment
Enchant Magic Item
Arcane Lock
Familiar Mount
Hallucinatory Item
Sending
Disenchant Magic Item - probably risky to attempt while it is in her, and would leave us without the eye to examine later if needed.
Portal Jump
Cure Disease
Linked Portal
Seal Portal
Raise Dead
Hallucinatory Terrain
Ghost Walk
Tune of Merriment
Remove Affliction - my guess is this is the best bet we have going for now.
Analyze Portal
Chorus of Truth
Object Meld
Seeming
Passwall
Rope Trick
Hallucinatory Creature
Astral Guide
Scramble Portal
View Location
Whispers of Edifice
Telepathic Bond
Plane Shift
Time Ravager

[DSCrankshaw]

How is Pavick's Heal modifier?

[Mando Knight]

How is Pavick's Heal modifier?

Better than Aramil's, I know that much. :smalltongue:

[DSCrankshaw]

The point is that Lucan also has that ritual, a Heal modifier of +21, and the ability to reroll one ritual a day.

[dariathalon]

Pavick's only at a +14, so if you know the ritual, you are certainly welcome to perform it instead. You hadn't mentioned having it when you mentioned the other rituals, so I was just going with it since I knew I did.

Pavick will assist if you want, he's got better than even odds of giving you a +2 instead of a -1. Or he can hang back and let you try it on your own. Whatever.

[DSCrankshaw]

I was just mentioning the rituals which I thought might restrain her. But if we're going to try to help her directly, Remove Affliction is probably the way to go.

Feel free to aid another.

So does anyone have anything else they'd like to do before I try the ritual? Maybe tie her up or otherwise restrain her more effectively?

[DSCrankshaw]

So hopefully a natural 20 is enough for me to use Lullaby slightly out of spec--like a mild anesthetic.

After that, it's on to Remove Affliction, and hoping that the level of the Lich isn't too much higher than ours, because I've got to roll 1d20+21-(Lich level). The DM should tell us what level the effect is by the time we begin (It's in the Remove Affliction ritual description). I need to roll greater than 1 in order for Selene to live. Maybe greater than 10, depending on whether reducing her to 0 hit points would kill her. Does anyone have the ability to grant her temporary hit points right before the ritual completes?

[dariathalon]

I believe there are some potions out there that would give temps. We could pretty easily send a runner (or whatever the hell they call that sort of person in Sigil) out to get one before we start.

[DSCrankshaw]

Also something that knocks someone out for a few hours would be great.

[dariathalon]

Well, if everything goes right, and by everything I mean I hit her and she fails her first save, Pavick has this spell prepared.

Slumber of the Winter Court
Daily * Standard Action
Area burst 2 within 20 Target: Each creature in burst
Keywords: Arcane, Charm, Enchantment, Implement
Attack: Int vs Will (+26)
Hit: The target is dazed and slowed (save ends both).

First Failed Saving Throw: The target instead falls unconscious. The unconsciousness ends if the target takes damage, or after 1d4 hours.
Miss: The target is slowed, save ends.

First Failed Saving Throw: The target instead falls unconscious (save ends).

Though again, there's probably potions or poisons or something available in town that would do the job more reliably.

[Hzurr]

Nat 20? That's some hardcore Rock-a-bye-baby Lucan is playing.

If CDs existed in Sigil, you could market this to parents of infants and make a killing.

[DSCrankshaw]

Anyone want to find something stronger to hit her with? Lucan can keep playing indefinitely, but he can't play and perform the Remove Affliction ritual.

[Hzurr]

Anyone want to find something stronger to hit her with?

I feel really guilty that my first thought was "Oh, like a baseball bat or something?"

[DSCrankshaw]

Nothing? Okay, I guess I'm performing this one without anesthetic.

EDIT: Okay, there's my roll. Anyone want to do Aid Another?

[dariathalon]

Ack. Sorry about that. Pavick had a pretty good chance to assist, I guess this is further proof that the roller hates me. :smallannoyed:

[Hzurr]

Hmm...are either Ash or Aramil going to try and help? Zyrr's only got a +10, so I'm guessing that he won't be giving it a shot.

[Mando Knight]

Hmm...are either Ash or Aramil going to try and help? Zyrr's only got a +10, so I'm guessing that he won't be giving it a shot.

Aramil's Heal skill is also a +10.

[Orsik Vondal]

Ash has a +12.I guess he could give it a try...:smallconfused:

[roll0]

Nope! :smallbiggrin:

[DSCrankshaw]

Maybe everyone should stop helping now.

[Orsik Vondal]

Maybe everyone should stop helping now.

At this rate we might as well just lop her head off right now...:smallsigh:

[Mando Knight]

Hey, she's probably not an Epic character, so resurrecting her should be relatively simple.

[Hzurr]

Could I also get an Arcana from Lucan?

[DSCrankshaw]

Is this considered part of the ritual?

[roll0]

[Hzurr]

Sorry for the delay. Been back in the states for my sister's wedding all weekend, and have been running around like a crazy person running last minute wedding errands

[DSCrankshaw]

So what next? Lucan was planning to lay on the floor nursing his headache for the next little while.

[Hzurr]

My assumption is that y'all will be using the normal sources of information in Sigil to try and track the lich down? Anything in particular you want to do (or particularly don't want to do?)

[Mando Knight]

Well, we had a lead, a thread ago, that we were dissuaded from following because someone had disengaged our Someone Else's Problem Field and decided we should go see what all the devils (or nearly all of them) were doing...

[Orsik Vondal]

Well, we had a lead, a thread ago, that we were dissuaded from following because someone had disengaged our Someone Else's Problem Field and decided we should go see what all the devils (or nearly all of them) were doing...

Soooorry! :smallsigh:

That was the lead that said (paraphrasing) the PoF's magical ice wall draws its power from the EC, right?

[Mando Knight]

Yes. Because the wall and the rod are two parts of the same whole. (The trouble with devils actually started before Asheroth came into play, in another Side Quest We Maybe Shouldn't Have Taken In the First Place.)

[DSCrankshaw]

Um, I can't say I agree, as that side quest was important to my character arc. And frankly, at that point, we didn't know what the main arc was. That was before we got involved in all the Feywild stuff.

[Mando Knight]

Um, I can't say I agree, as that side quest was important to my character arc. And frankly, at that point, we didn't know what the main arc was. That was before we got involved in all the Feywild stuff.

I agree that it was important to your character to get his father's soul back, but we took a very bad deal to do so. Hence the "Maybe" part.

Point is, we started the problem with the devils by giving them everything they wanted while receiving a mere fraction of the value in return, but by the time it became obvious that there was a real problem, it was both already out of our league and at best tangential to the task at hand.

EDIT: On the other hand, by taking out the Lich's fortress, we will have emptied out a stronghold in the Elemental Chaos. We can then claim said stronghold, and then from there begin a campaign to destroy the foothold the devils have within the Abyss, if it's not too late. Blast it, I should have thought of that last thread.

DING DING DING DING!!!!!!!!!!! We have a winner! I vote we crash the lich's pad, and throw some sweet parties! :smalltongue::smallbiggrin::smallwink:

[Hzurr]

Woo!

Sounds like a plan. It's late right now, but tomorrow I'll try and get an IC post to get things up and moving.

Also, as I mentioned last month, my DDI article came out today in Dragon 427, so those of you who are still subscribed can see it here (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/TOC.aspx?x=dnd/4new/drtoc/427).

And, as promised, the article starts off with a letter written to a "Grandmaster Roslow" Grandmaster Roslow,
Nerull’s priest has died. The causes appear to be natural,
but given the timing and the person, I cannot rule out foul
play.
Before he passed, he gave a brief account of what he
knew about the rise and fall of the god of death. I have
transcribed his remarks and included them with this letter.
Given its source, this information should be taken with a
grain of salt, but it is intriguing nonetheless. I've taken the
liberty of removing the extraneous homilies and adulations
in the transcription. (If I ever hear the phrase, “Praise be to
his unholy name and the encroaching darkness” again, it
will be far too soon.) In addition, I have edited the profane
names used in reference to the Raven Queen, since they are
not fit for printing.
I hope you find this manuscript as enlightening as I did.
Cordially yours,
Nimozaran the Green
Septarch’s Tower, Fallcrest

It's interesting to see what they kept and what they changed (some of the stuff I liked less is what they kept, and some of the more awesome parts they either cut or toned down. Actually, the entire article is not nearly as dark and grim as my initial submission. And they cut the ridiculously deadly lvl 34 solo "resurrected Nerull" monster.). Still, I'm fairly happy with how it turned out, and if nothing else it gets my foot in the door for if I want to do more writing in the future.

[dariathalon]

Very cool Pavick reference. :smallbiggrin: Congratulations on getting your work published, and just under the wire for 4e too. I knew they were winding down with what effort they are willing to put into 4e, but it is kind of sad to see that Dungeon and Dragon will only be around for this edition for a few more months. :smallannoyed:

It's not too surprising they sanitized what you had written, they don't seem to like getting too dark anymore. This bit, for example, just screams WotC editing to me. While I tend to strongly prefer a good/unaligned game, WotC has gone out of their way to encourage it as well.


Regardless of the reasoning you choose, speak
with your DM and your fellow players to make sure
that they are comfortable with your character worshiping
a god that extols death and murder.

Also, I fully endorse the idea of stealing the lich's home base for our own debaucherous purposes. :smallbiggrin:

[DSCrankshaw]

I figured I ought to do something with eyes.

[Hzurr]

Oh, finally heard back from Toric. He's getting back in the swing of things, and will be posting once he's had a chance to catch up on all the stuff he's missed.


DING DING DING DING!!!!!!!!!!!

Funnily enough, that bit wasn't WotC editing, that was something I wrote. Of course, I wrote it after WotC told me that I had to include it in no uncertain terms... (they're pretty picky on the "evil PCs" stuff. My guess is that at some point Mike Mearls had a really bad experience with an evil party.)

Biggest areas of sanitation happened with the various factions that serve Nerull (the original Triumvirate section was really, really dark); as well as a quick primer to locations on Pluton. The artifact also got nerfed pretty hard (although I am happy that they left in the bit about it communicating via tattoos that lead scars. The mental image of someone who uses it for years looking almost mummified because of countless overlapping scars is one that I really liked)



Point is, we started the problem with the devils by giving them everything they wanted while receiving a mere fraction of the value in return

...yep, sounds like exactly what one would expect from a deal with devils. As much justification and reasoning as y'all had at the time, the policy of "never make an agreement with devils, ever" is really not a bad idea.



On the other hand, by taking out the Lich's fortress, we will have emptied out a stronghold in the Elemental Chaos. We can then claim said stronghold, and then from there begin a campaign to destroy the foothold the devils have within the Abyss, if it's not too late. Blast it, I should have thought of that last thread.

This is going to be awesome.

[Orsik Vondal]

Here are my thoughts on my facts about the lich's house.

The "mini-Sigil" is a chamber that taps into the fabric between planes. Material and Feywild. Elemental Chaos and Astral Sea. Life and Death. The lich sends out a beckoning call across the multiverse to wandering souls. The Call is attuned to him and his stronghold. When the souls enter, they are trapped for the lich to use at his whim. Immortal souls, as well, are called as they make their journey back to where they came from after being slain. So the lich has some devils and demons "working" for him too. Perhaps a marilith or balor or a pit fiend (:smallwink::smallwink: *nudge nudge* Incirion)

This would also be awesome for us if we defeat the lich. Pav would have his own little science lab to help create his personal dimension. And we could scoot around to any plane free of charge.

Lysander could have been a cleric or a pally of Pelor. But now he's dead. D-E-D. Dead!https://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/51ce6099e4b0d911b4489b79/51ce617be4b0d911b4495b04/1301605530113/1000w/spawn.jpg
A high powered adventurer like that would be one bad undead mammah jammah! Especially if we were fighting undead hordes, him AND the lich at the same time!!

And his armor would be a nice trophy for one of us. :smallbiggrin:

[Hzurr]

Excellent, I'm super excited about some of the ideas that y'all suggested. I love that you weren't afraid to just go full-on extreme with the suggestions.

Before you go in after this thing, it felt like a good break point to stop, level up, get a new thread going, and get everyone on the same page. I feel that things have been crazy for a lot of us lately, so a bit of a clean start should hopefully help that out.

So, when you have a chance let's do a big jump up to lvl 26 (since that's where you get the next set of cool abilities). If anyone needs to use my DDI account to build a PC, just let me know. We'll assume that any new items or equipment you have, you got in Sigil.

[Mando Knight]

Just to be clear, the crit range modifiers are still banned?

[Orsik Vondal]

Is it possible for me to introduce Ash's new hexblade ally at this juncture?

[Hzurr]

Just to be clear, the crit range modifiers are still banned?

Yep. Actually, it's more because of this juncture that I banned them early on. Crit fishing at high-epic gets absolutely ridiculous.


Is it possible for me to introduce Ash's new hexblade ally at this juncture?

He'll come in when we start the new IC thread. I've actually got a couple of ideas on that that I'll shoot you an email about later.

[dariathalon]

Pavick's plane should also be starting to exist considering some of his class features now deal with it. I'm thinking at this point it's probably pretty much a blank slate still. A plane without form or function really. Somewhere it is possible to go to, but won't be very exciting to do so until Pavick puts a little more time and effort into making it homey.

[DSCrankshaw]

Personally, I'm excited about the fact that Lucan can now turn into a dragon. I haven't even thought about selecting powers and such yet.

This is also the point where killing characters is a lot harder, since they mostly have abilities that let them come back.

Some nice curtains, a few throw pillows...


And assuming y'all are able to take this fortress over, I've no problem with you incorporating portions of your demiplane into it (or vice versa)

This is also the point where killing characters is a lot harder, since they mostly have abilities that let them come back. Yep. It also means I can throw more ridiculous stuff at you, just because I know y'all can survive it. Should be entertaining.

[DSCrankshaw]

So, powers. I'm still trying to decide on my level 25 power. I'm thinking either Frenzied Rhythm (replacing Song of Discord, since it's basically Song of Discord squared), or Virtuoso of Misfortune (in which case I'd replace Satire of Prowess). Right now I'm leaning toward Virtuoso of Misfortune--multitarget save-ends save penalty, with the nice bonus that every failed save means a save for one of us. Any other ideas?

[DSCrankshaw]

I forget. Are our items Level+1, Level, and Level-1, plus coin equivalent of Level-1? Because I seem to remember at one point being able to take a lower level item to replace the Level-1, and taking the coin equivalent as the difference. But I'm not sure whether that was the policy or the exception.

The best neck item I can find is level 24, so there's really nothing at level 25 I'd like.

Yeah, I've been allowing that, as long as you don't get abusive with it.

[DSCrankshaw]

Okay, updated Lucan (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=363129).

[Mando Knight]

...Clarification: Studded Leather from Mordekainen's Magnificently Unbalanced Emporium requires the additional feat for proficiency, right? I feel like there's some additional rules from the book that the Compendium's leaving out.

[dariathalon]

Yes, armor proficiency: studded leather. It's a pretty simple feat, requires proficiency in hide armor and gives proficiency in studded leather.

[Hzurr]

Lucan is looking good.


Geez you guys are getting terrifying...

[Mando Knight]

Forgot to mention this, but Aramil's (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=177227) mostly done being updated now. And if an idiot lets him, boy can he multiattack. For one round.

[Hzurr]

...ok, did I drop y'all too many times last adventure, so now everyone is finding ways to fly?

[DSCrankshaw]

Yes. Yes you did.

[Hzurr]

Ok, fair enough.

[Orsik Vondal]

Too true. Ash died because of a fall. It was a glorious death. But a death nonetheless.

Also, Ash is pretty much ready! (http://plothook.net/RPG/profiler/view.php?id=10863)

[dariathalon]

At one time I believe you mentioned that our unique items would level up along with us. Is there any change to the Skull of Baftis at this time?

Edit: Here is what I have so far. I still need to pick one more feat, redo my equipment (right now the old stuff is still there), and then get it all transferred over to the sheet along with the house-ruled stuff that the builder doesn't like to handle. If anybody has any suggestions about the build, let me know. The higher we go in levels, the shakier I feel about building so I'd be happy to hear anything you might have to say.

At one time I believe you mentioned that our unique items would level up along with us. Is there any change to the Skull of Baftis at this time?



It should be at a +5 right now, +6 when you hit 30

Hmm...so no idea what's happened to Toric. I was trying to give him some time, but I haven't heard anything.

I know Orsik has been having some internet troubles, so it's difficult for him to see updates. Is everyone else happy with their character, or do we need to give some time for any more changes?

[dariathalon]

I think I've got the changes made at least in the character builder. I just need to find some time to get it put on a mythweaver's sheet again.

Aramil's sheet is done. I've some updating to do on the flavor text contained therein, but the Mythweavers page should accurately mirror the Character Builder version you have (plus the Nightmare Blade, which is only a Mithrendain Steel Longsword in the CB version). And I just re-downloaded a copy from the builder as another backup, since I couldn't figure out where I had put my last copy...

[dariathalon]

I think I've finally gotten Pavick completely updated on Mythweavers. (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=473617) Hopefully I remembered everything. Sorry it's taken so long.

Oh, and I should probably mention that I did downgrade the level 26 item to a level 24 armor. About half the left-over gold from that I just threw into components for rituals, so we shouldn't have to worry about that for at least awhile.

Speaking of rituals, Pavick will be using the soulguard ritual everyday (since his epic destiny doesn't come with any of those fancy anti-death tricks). I've set him down 1 healing surge already to account for that. He'd be willing to use this on anyone else who wants to pay the cost. It takes 5000 components and 1 surge but you get the healing from that surge if you ever drop to negative bloodied and would die otherwise.

That...is handy. A cool ritual.


Ok, I think there's a couple things from Orsik that we're waiting on, then we'll get stuff kicked off

[Orsik Vondal]

Ash is finished. View him here! (http://plothook.net/RPG/profiler/view.php?id=10863)

Ash can now summon angels! Keezul has left and another more insightful ally has come. And with his revamped ED he can summon 4--count 'em!--4 angel minions! I don't how you want to introduce Ash's new ally, Hzurr, and I await your email to discuss that.

P.S.--I am also excited to see the look on the Lich's face (*skull??*) when we all summon our companions and make it impossible for him to move around. :smallwink::smallamused::smallbiggrin:

Bad email filters, Bad!

Stupid lack of notification of thread updates.


Cool, in this case I think we're ready to go. I'll spend a bit of time this evening going through the last char sheet and double checking afew things, and the new IC post will be up tomorrow morning!
