This sensation is somehow worse than when you first started this game, as if your very being has been run through a sieve and only roughly put back together in not quite the right order.

[Deadguy]

I broke it. That's the only thing Ssrask can think of as he quickly closed the window again. The feats he wanted to change hadn't changed, but it seemed like the third level of dragon shaman was computed, even if it was all wacked.

What are these green specks... Siri said you take on some of the core's corruption, is that it?

[Deadguy]

Ssrask left his companion in the forest, using his wings to glide as far into the fields as possible. As he ran back to the mountains, if he saw any rabbits, he'd dive into them with his energy aura active in order to freeze them and get more meat.

Back at his cave, he'd eat enough to be full, but leave his pool water for the morning.

Hey Siri... how long has this world been active? Also, who are the prime deities? It didn't sound like the Tree Spirit was a major player in the world, unless divine beings were actually very rare.

[Rizban]

Hey! Listen!

The world has been around since the beginning! That's when it was created.


Hey! Listen!

The Mother, a minor deity, is the patron spirit of The Venomous Grove!


You make it back safely.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask held a claw up to his temple. Speaking to someone who wasn't from the game made him forget that the things in the game didn't really see the game as a game.

Once he had eaten, he checked the cliff face that was outside his cave. He planned on a new set of binds the next day and wanted to get the most use of out these now. With the remainder of the day, he set out to climb up the mountain as high as he could.

Utilizing the climb speed from Claws of the Wyrm totem bind and ability to take no damage from a fall of any distance from Dragon Wings to progress up the cliff face.

[Rizban]

You reach the top of the cliff and immediately receive a notification.

System Notice

Warning! You have entered an Advanced Difficulty area.

The clifftop is surprisingly flat in a very large area, more mesa than mountain. The flat area seems almost large enough to build a small city. The edges are surrounded by more mountains, forming natural walls.

About a quarter mile away, towards the center of the plateau, you can see what appears to be a small stone building lying in ruin.

[Deadguy]

I don't have any real reason to risk a quick death other than curiosity... Hey Siri, when the warning for Advanced Difficulty appears, what level is it referring to?

Ssrask doesn't approach any closer to the ruins. In fact, he leaps from the cliff, entering a free fall for the brief moments before opening his wings and gliding to the ground. Once there's he'd go into his cave and rest for the evening, eating enough to be full, but making sure to leave a last morning meal before going back to meet the elf.

[Rizban]

Hey! Listen!

You seem to be trying to determine Difficulty Levels.
Let me help you with that!
At times, the System may warn you about the average Difficulty Level of an area, though it does not always provide a warning, especially if you have been to that area before. The System expects you to learn and remember such information. Sometimes, only select members of a party or other group will receive a warning, based on the unknowable prerequisites of the System.
Note that Difficulty Levels are commonly considered Subjective and Inexact. Difficulty Levels are always determined relative to the effective level of the individual who receives the warning.
These levels are usually explained as follows:

Trivial areas are less than half your Effective Character Level
Easy areas are more than half your Effective Character Level but less than Average
Average areas are within a few levels of your ECL
Challenging areas are 3 to 10 levels higher than your ECL
Advanced areas are 7 to 15 levels higher than your ECL
Arduous areas are 11 to 20 levels higher than your ECL
Onerous areas are 15 to 25 levels higher than your ECL
Overwhelming areas are 20 or more levels higher than your ECL

Be aware that all areas may have challenges not appropriate to the rating for that area! For example, an area filled with numerous 1/10 Challenge Rating creatures and only a single CR 30 creature may have a rating of Trivial or Easy.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask seemed surprised with how detailed that explanation was, and very glad he hadn't gotten too nosy. A CR difference of seven levels could probably kill him in a round or two. It was good to know the area was there though, as it seemed like the forest could sustain him for only so long.

Also, he was almost sure that no normal person in the realm would interact with him quite as calmly as the other player characters had. That meant he'd pretty much be confined to wilderness. The closeness also made resting once he was within that level range fairly easy by utilizing his cave.

He needed to rest, rebind his spiritual gifts, and meet with his teammate early in the morning. Once back in the cave, he settled down on his grass mat to sleep.

In the morning, he awoke and stretched. He took time to shape new melds before drinking from the pool and eating the last of his cooked rabbit.

You gain one [1] Ability Point.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask places the point into strength.

[Rizban]

Character Advancement
Select a Quaternary Class



You have the same class options as before—Barbarian, Bard, Beguiler, Duskblade, Hexblade, Psion, Ranger, Sorcerer, Soulborn, Warmage, Wilder, and Wizard—plus two new choices: Warlock and Wu Jen.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask selects Ranger, but also makes sure to voice his desires aloud to Siri.

"Siri, I want to select alternate abilities for this class. Specifically, form shifter replacing combat style, arcane hunter replacing favored enemy 1, solitary hunting replacing animal companion, and champion of the wild replacing spells."

He was sure some of these weren't immediately available at level 1, just like his desire for Dungeon Crasher, but he still felt like he shouldn't assume anything in this process.

[Rizban]

You are informed that some of your selections are mutually exclusive or unavailable at this level.

You are offered the Wild Shift Ranger (https://aldhaven.com/class/base/ranger/) (variant link near the bottom) with the Arcane Hunter ability.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask readily accepted the changes. It was interesting that these adjustments seemed built-in compared to the normal game.

[Rizban]

You have already selected your Favored Enemy of Arcane Casters (https://aldhaven.com/class/class/variant/arcane-hunter/).

You gain one [1] feat, which can be any feat of your choice for which you meet the prerequisites. Note that this is a 1st-level feat, so you may choose a 1st-level only feat if you want.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask had seen enough videos of end-game play to understand that magic-users were the true threat as he grew in power. To prepare for that eventuality, he selected Wise to Your Ways - Arcanist as his feat.

[Rizban]

You gain eight [8] skill points, with your class skills for these points being that of the Ranger.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask assigned the following: balance (+1), jump (+1), knowledge - nature (+4), survival (+2).

[Rizban]

Balance isn't a class skill for any of your classes, so you're overspent by 1 skill point.

[Deadguy]

Draconic Heritage - White adds balance as a class skill.

[Rizban]

Draconic Heritage - White adds balance as a class skill.Ah, so it is. I had forgotten that.

However...

You gain eight [8] skill points, with your class skills for these points being that of the Ranger.It's not a class skill for Ranger.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask had assumed that the feat had added the skill to his class skills regardless of the track. It must just add for the primary. He removed the point and placed it into Survival.

[Rizban]

You finalize your skill selection, and Character Advancement ends.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask opened the character advancement interface and selected Fighter to advance. He made sure to mentally state he desired the Dungeon Crasher ACF before asking, "Are there any other acf's available at this level for this class?"

[Rizban]

Select a Tertiary Class


You select Fighter. You have the following Fighter ACFs available at Fighter level 2:

Dancing Feint
Draconic Prowess
Dungeon Crasher
Hunted Foe
Resolute

[Deadguy]

Ssrask paused. He thought he knew that Dungeon Crasher was an easy pick, but the Draconic Prowess peaked his interest.

"Siri can you give me information on Draconic Prowess?"

He was also a bit surprised that there had been no ability increase for this level. There had been one for every other selection. Perhaps once one went beyond secondary, they weren't provided every single level... He'd have to plan better to meet requirements for feats and such.

[Rizban]

Hey! Listen!

You seem to be trying to learn more about the Draconic Prowess alternative class feature.
Let me help you with that!
Draconic Prowess allows you to choose a Draconic Feat in place of a Fighter bonus feat at any even numbered class level. It also replaces some of the abilities gained at odd-numbered Fighter levels with dragon-related benefits.

[Deadguy]

"Wait... what? Fighters don't have... didn't have any abilities on odd levels. Siri, can you tell me what the abilities are that will be replaced?"

He wasn't exactly sure he needed even more draconic feats, and wasn't fully ready to commit to giving up some mystery abilities for other mystery abilities.

[Rizban]

Hey! Listen!
Draconic Prowess forces the choice of a unique Combat Focus, which replaces the options for abilities gained at levels three, five, nine, and fifteen.
In addition, the Armor Mastery ability gained at levels seven, thirteen, and nineteen is modified by Draconic Prowess.
Draconic Prowess may be selected as a 2nd- or 3rd-level Fighter.

[Deadguy]

"I don’t know what those do! But whatever, I’m a dragon, I take the dragon things!"

Ssrask tried to not dwell on it too much. If it was a terrible idea, there was always the crazy scary rebuild thing that he never wanted to do again.

[Rizban]

You select Fighter with the Draconic Prowess ACF.

You gain 2 hit points.

You gain one [1] bonus feat, either a Fighter feat or a Draconic feat.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask quickly sorted through his options and decided on Draconic Toughness as his feat choice. Having more HP could never hurt, especially as he advanced into more difficult areas.

[Rizban]

You gain 10 hit points from Draconic Toughness for your 5 draconic feats: Least Dragonmark, Draconic Heritage, Draconic Claw, White Dragon Lineage, and Draconic Toughness.

Then Character Advancement ends.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask left the grove alone as the shadows began to grow long. Despite having partied for the better part of his time in this world, the fact that he could continue without reservation in his own abilities while those he had teamed up with had to stop to regain strength made him feel... Pride?

There wasn't much of that feeling in his life before this. He was just a regular non-descript guy trying to make a life in the big city. Just one of the masses. I stand out here. I like it!

He followed his own trail back to the last tree, projecting the magical cold energy that coursed through his veins outward once again. As prepared as he could be, the dragonkin made a quick survey of the distance to the next tree and set out in a circular pattern to find the third.

[Rizban]

You arrive at the dead tree and follow the path that you are more or less certain is the right one to get where you need to go, and you soon encounter another group of spiders.

You stumble upon them, seemingly catching them by surprise.

There's one Huge spider accompanied by two Medium spiders and a host of Tiny spiders that you don't quite have time to count.

You get a surprise round, and you also win Initiative.

[Deadguy]

I wonder if the game is responding to us getting stronger. I donÂ’t think a huge spider would be in a starting zone quest... a good limit test at least.

Using the surprise to his advantage, he moved into melee with the huge spider, relying on his aura to kill off the smaller threats.

On his actual turn, he tapped into the primal dragon lineage to bolster his toughness before a full attack routine.

Surprise Round: Move to melee with huge spider.

Round 1: Swift - 5 temp hp from white dragon lineage; 2 rd. Breathe recovery - [roll0]

Full Attack: Primary Claws - [roll1] / [roll2]
Damage - [roll3] / [roll4]

Secondary Claws - [roll5] / [roll6]
Damage - [roll7] / [roll8]

Tail - [roll9]
Damage - [roll10]

[Rizban]

As you contemplate the game responding to your increasing strength, it occurs to you that it might also be responding to the level of progress on the quest. You recall that quest chains like this that constantly added new objectives always got harder as you completed individual steps and got closer to completion. You just hope that you don't reach a link in the chain that's too strong for your level...

You move in and attack the huge spider. Your first claw skitters across the surface of its chitin, doing little more than scuffing the surface. Thankfully, the rest of your attacks pierce its tough hide for 25 total damage. The spider screams in pain before it starts to freeze and tries to retaliate.

[roll0]

Just so I don't forget it in the future, please just roll your energy aura damage at the end of your post, and I'll apply the damage to any creature in range at the start of their turns.

The huge spider bites you, piercing through your defenses!
[roll1] - [roll2]+poison (fort dc 16 negates) [roll3] Str damage.

One of the medium spiders is within range of your aura, frost forming on its carapace as it moves to attack.
[roll4] - [roll5]+poison (fort dc 12 negates) [roll6] Str damage.
The cold weakens it enough to prevent it from harming you!

The second medium spider is outside of your aura. It turns in place to face its abdomen towards you as it sprays webbing, attempting to entangle you. [roll7]

[Rizban]

You become entangled! (-2 attack rolls, -4 Dex, move 1/2 speed, can't charge/run)

Three tiny spiders are within your aura, causing them to slowly freeze and die as they attempt to move, breaking off legs and cracking chitin.

Another two charge at you, provoking AoOs as they leap into your space to attack you.
[roll0] - [1]+[roll1] Str damage (Fort DC 10 negates)
[roll2] - [1]+[roll3] Str damage (Fort DC 10 negates)

The rest of the tiny spiders just swarm around outside the range of your aura, apparently not willing to throw themselves into harm's way just yet.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask's confidence in his own abilities immediately falters under the onslaught of arachnids. He realizes he's over his head almost immediately.

His body attempts to fight off the poisons as he readies his next attack, completely unable to retreat, he can only stand his ground.

Huge Spider Poison: [roll0]

AOO vs Tiny 1: [roll1]
Damage: [roll2]

Tiny Spider Poison: [roll3] / [roll4]

[Deadguy]

The lizardfolk attacks with a fury of claws and tail, focusing on the huge spider first.

Full Attack:
Main Claws - [roll0] / [roll1]
Damage - [roll2] / [roll3]

Secondary Claws - [roll4] / [roll5]
Damage - [roll6] / [roll7]

Tail - [roll8]
Damage - [roll9]

Cold Aura - [roll10]

[Rizban]

You manage to resist the poisonous bite of the huge spider, cut the first tiny spider out of the air, and then resist the venom of the second.

In your desperation, you attack the huge spider with all that you have, tearing away chunks of carapace and splashing sticky blue ichor across the battlefield. It shudders and struggles to remain standing, but it has not fallen yet!

It tries to raise itself up to attack from above, lending additional power to its bite, but the biting cold saps the last of its endurance, causing it to collapse under its own weight.

The first medium spider bites at you again while the second pulls tight on the web entangling you, preventing your escape.
[roll0] - [roll1]+poison (fort dc 12 negates) [roll2] Str damage.
Its bite punctures your side near your kidney, but it somehow fails to do much damage (not confirmed).

The tiny spider crawling on your freezes and falls to the ground, where it shatters.

The five remaining tiny spiders all attack you at once! They provoke attacks as they enter your space.
[roll3] - [1]+[roll4] Str damage (Fort DC 10 negates)
[roll5] - [1]+[roll6] Str damage (Fort DC 10 negates)
[roll7] - [1]+[roll8] Str damage (Fort DC 10 negates)
[roll9] - [1]+[roll10] Str damage (Fort DC 10 negates)
[roll11] - [1]+[roll12] Str damage (Fort DC 10 negates)
Only one of the tiny spiders manages to pierce your defenses.

[Deadguy]

There was an exhilaration as the massive spider toppled to the ground. Ssrask barely noticed the bites from the lesser spiders, but stood fast to finish them off.

Poison Saves: Medium
Tiny [roll1]

AOO vs Tiny [1d20+6
Damage: [roll2]

[Deadguy]

Shrugging off the venom, Ssrask was able to bring his full strength to bear yet again.

Swift Action: White Lineage (5 temp hp)

Full Attack vs Medium / Tiny if medium dies:
Main Claws - [roll0] / [roll1]
Damage - [roll2] / [roll3]

Secondary Claws - [roll4] / [roll5]
Damage - [roll6] / [roll7]

Tail - [roll8]
Damage - [roll9]

Cold Aura - [roll10]

[Rizban]

Regardless of anything else, your cold aura finishes off any tiny spiders that you failed to kill before they can attack you again.

Quest Update
Spider Squishing
High Priestess Faeylin has requested that you do something about the spiders in The Venomous Grove.

Objectives:

Kill 20 Tiny Monstrous Spiders (32/20)
Kill 10 Small Monstrous Spiders (7/10)
[Optional] Kill some Medium Monstrous Spiders (2/—)
[Optional] Kill some Large Monstrous Spiders (1/—)
[Optional] Kill some Huge Monstrous Spiders (1/—)
Kill 5 Corrupted Monstrous Spider (2/5)
Discover what is causing the spiders to rapidly expand their territory
[Timed] Prevent the Sacred Trees from being destroyed (3/5 survive)

[Deadguy]

Ssrask took stock of the situation. I panicked. It was clear that his body and build were good enough to hold up against such threats, or maybe it was his luck that held up. He pondered the thought as he cleaned the webbing from his body and searched the dead bodies for possible loot. If the poison had taken hold, I'd have been completely ineffective and they would have gotten me. I should reconsider my approach after we get through this part of the quest.

As it were, he still had a good amount of health left and was in top condition. Pushing to the trees seemed vital enough to risk further encounters, so after cleaning himself up and searching the corpses, he opened the advancement tab to check his options.


Search - [roll0]

[Rizban]

You don't find anything of value on the spiders. After all, they're just spiders...
Now, if you had some proper skills, you might be able to harvest some of their chitin or venom sacs or something to use as crafting materials.

Experience Notice

You have earned enough experience to level up.

Yes
No

The system doesn't give you the costs of leveling up any of your class slots, but you're pretty sure that you have enough to level up any of the four that your choose.

You also note, with some shock, that your actual classes have changed! It seems that the flux caused by using the tainted core to rebuild has had unexpected side effects! Your Wild Shift Ranger level has transformed into a level of Knight! Your alignment has also shifted from Chaotic to Neutral!

[Deadguy]

Ssrask wasn't sure if he was happy or upset about that. He definitely felt influenced to the more bloodthirsty aspects of his dragon heritage before. The change seemed to give him a bit more clarity and focus.

He selected 'Yes' to the level-up option, looking over his sheet to figure out the best way to proceed. He did notice that the feat he had selected as a ranger still existed, even though he no longer met the requirements. The last time he did something like that, the game had quite a spasm. Perhaps the editing process would allow him to adjust it during the level up.

When you select "Advance Primary Class Slot," your experience total rapidly ticks down.

You have 877.144 experience.

You gain two [2] Ability Points.

Select a Primary Class



You have the following class options (new options in teal): Dragon Shaman, Barbarian, Bard, Beguiler, Duskblade, Hexblade, Marshal, Psion, Sorcerer, Soulborn, Warblade, Warmage, Wilder, Wizard, Wu Jen.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask places a point into charisma and wisdom each before selecting to increase his Dragon Shaman levels.

[Rizban]

Your hit points and saves increase.

You gain new class features.

You gain five [5] Skill Points.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask placed points in the following: Balance (+1), Concentration (+2), Search (+2).

"Siri, how can I change feats if I've made a mistake?" He tried to ask the question not using game terms, as they seem to mean different things than he was used to most of the time.

[Rizban]

System Error

One [1] feat is invalid. Feat Wise to Your Ways has been removed.
Select a replacement feat.

"Siri" doesn't respond at this time.

You have one feat to select to replace the lost 1st-level feat.

[Deadguy]

"Oh, it recognized that. Good. Still there's others that I'd like to change too, but let's start with that." Ssrask skims through his sheet and the options available.

"The game pushed me into knight. A hero instead of a monster like I had been headed toward. I wonder if my heritage would change to something more fitting if I selected another type of bloodline. Celestial seems very fitting with a dragon knight, maybe like some sort of holy dragon?"

He selected Planar Bloodline and selected Celestial if the option presented itself like the description suggested.

[Rizban]

Planar Bloodline (Celestial) is added to your sheet, and Character Advancement ends.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask continues on toward the next tree. Pushing as far as possible was vital during timed quests.

He recalled failing several times in the starting area because he got distracted by other available events.

[Rizban]

Forgot to offer you the chance to spend XP to advance your Bloodline Level. Your HD are high enough to do so, if you want to do that now.

[Deadguy]

Yes please.

[Rizban]

You may currently advance either or both bloodlines to level 1, which costs 100 xp each.

[Deadguy]

"They take effect immediately, interesting." Ssrask selected to advance both, since the option was available.

[Rizban]

You gain the benefits of the two bloodlines and lose 200 xp. You will next be able to progress your bloodlines when you reach 8 Hit Dice.

Then Character Advancement ends.

[Deadguy]

Once he has completed the leveling process fully, Ssrask continues to head in the direction he had been traveling before encountering the mob of spiders. Hopefully he could get to the next tree without weakening himself further.

[Deadguy]

As he moved forward, he couldn't help but wonder at why the universe might direct him toward a decision. It wasn't really a game, he had already established that. It was more like a reincarnation into a new reality. There were gods, there was good and evil, there was free will. The game was more like the universal laws of reality. A way to keep everything in order.

It felt strange that the system would desire him to be such an upstanding and orderly class, especially after having selected a simplistic, selfish, chaotic patron for his primary class. The two outlooks were really non-conducive to a heroic frame of mind.

"Siri, are there dragons from other planes that could be patrons for a dragon shaman?" He tried tapping into his skills, the ability that allowed him to gather information from this place even as a stranger in a strange land.


Knowledge (Arcana) - [roll0]
Knowledge (Planes) - [roll1]

[Rizban]

"Siri" doesn't seem to acknowledge your question. Whether that's from a lack of knowledge or for some other reason, you are unsure.

She then suddenly shouts Hey! Listen! while hovering over a rock about the size of your head before informing you that you can pick up and throw rocks when necessary.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask couldn't help but wonder if he'd made a mistake. Normally Siri talked in circles or gave him some sort of tangent information. This wasn't either of those, she simply skipped the topic entirely.

"Thank you." The dragonkin picked up the rock. It'd be useful to use against a threat if he got stuck in webbing. "Siri, what are ALL of the available options of Dragon Patron for a Dragon Shaman?"

He talked to her as he continued to move toward his goal of finding another binding tree to speed up their quest progress.

[Rizban]

Hey! Listen!

Did you know that every dragon shaman has a patron dragon?

You did? Great!

Each patron dragon is also quasi-divine! That's how they are able to become the patron of a dragon shaman!

[Deadguy]

"Quasi-divine... that's why I don't come up with any information. I don't have an Knowledge: Religion yet."

"Siri, are there any methods to condense multiple bloodlines into a single line that matches both criteria. Something like Monsterous - Hag and Planar condensed to Night Hag? Or Dragon and Planar condensed to Hellfire Wyrm?"

Ssrask was very curious as to what could actually be awakened, and how far the boundaries of the system could be pushed. It did seem to bend slightly to his desires, but was also capable of altering the course of his progression to its own whims. Without any actual knowledge of religions or deity interaction, he'd almost say it was like an Over-God. Something removed from the struggles of belief and followers but responsible the rules that even those powerful beings has to abide by.

[Rizban]

The assistant lazily flies in a circle above your head, failing to respond to your questions. After a few seconds, it seems to shrink as it zips down behind you and out of sight. You've noticed that it isn't always hanging around you, but this is the first time you've consciously noticed it disappearing.

[Deadguy]

Ssrask couldn't help but feel like something was being kept from him. His guide hadn't ever simply remained silent, even when the information wasn't what he wanted. Still, without the requisite knowledge, there was little he could do to push forward in his quest for the information.

He left well enough alone for the moment and continued on, hoping to come across one of the spider-infested trees before dawn.
