Bink's Wrath of the Righteous OOC

[MuffinMan]

Knowledge: Religion (1d20+8)[18]

[MuffinMan]

Spellcraft to identify: (1d20+5)[6] vs DC 16

[DarkOne-Rob]

FarmerBink, does Filburn see anything with which he could bar the door? I posted that he looked for one, but you never responded with that information and we got distracted by discussion (both OoC and IC)...

[DarkOne-Rob]

Double post, but can I get a response to my question, FarmerBink?

[Farmerbink]

I put it in hangouts, erroneously expecting that you'd see it. That said:

There's nothing suitable in the antechamber- it's largely empty except for a small pile that might once have been a chair or frame or something. Some of the benches and pews from the shrine might be suitable, but it's not ideal. Also, the door appears to open inward, so that's likely to be a problem.

(all of the doors have opened inward, actually, though it hasn't previously been relevant)

[JWallyR]

I'm assuming the 15 fails, and the enemies don't give evidence of immediately bursting through the door, in which case a couple more tries are in order:

Disable Device: (1d20+11)[21]
Disable Device: (1d20+11)[22]
Disable Device: (1d20+11)[31]
Disable Device: (1d20+11)[22]
Disable Device: (1d20+11)[29]

[Farmerbink]

How long does everyone else give Morevek before doing something else?

Edit: for relevance, you have (I think) like 6 more rounds of buffs

[Gwynfrid]

As long as it takes. He can take 20, as far as I'm concerned. I'm on the lookout for a mental warning from Sruech'ul in the event something stirs on the first floor.

[MuffinMan]

+1 for "as long as it takes". Buffs have basically run out at this point so I think it's more advantageous to take our time than rush in.

[Farmerbink]

I think there must be some confusion. Filburn initially heard voices speaking (in the demonic tongue) from behind the door leading towards the stairs. Aurora also attempted to open that door (noting his post). That same door is the one which is locked, which Morevek is now attempting to unlock.

Is Filburn guarding the door to the temple (leading northward), or....?

[DarkOne-Rob]

Filburn will guard the door we aren't opening. I will edit my post to reflect that.

[JWallyR]

Rerolling botched arrow damages for rapid shot:
dmg 1 (1d8+4)[10]
dmg 2 (1d8+4)[11]

[DarkOne-Rob]

I think we should gather what resources we can quickly find and reassess. I don't think resting is an option, but we need to push forward hard and wrap this up somehow. Filburn can cast Invisibility and Disguise Self once more each and try to make his way upstairs, but there is risk to that. Does anyone else have any good ideas?

[Gwynfrid]

1) Spellcraft DC=15+CL for the potions and ring. Elrembriel has a +2 racial bonus to this.

4x potions of CLW DC16
(1d20+14)[29]
(1d20+14)[19]
(1d20+14)[21]
(1d20+14)[29]

1x potion of barkskin DC18
(1d20+14)[20]

1x potion of spider climb DC18
(1d20+14)[29]

ring of protection +1 DC20
(1d20+14)[30]

EDIT - all done!

[Gwynfrid]

2) Healing

Aurora: 15/52
Elrembriel: 13/28
Irabeth: 18/42
Waylan: 31/40
Filburn: 31/44
Morevek: 34/38

After Waylan's channeling and CMW:

Aurora: 38/52
Elrembriel: 23/28
Irabeth: 28/42
Waylan: 40/40
Filburn: 41/44
Morevek: 38/38

Waylan's remaining 2 spells should go to the paladins for 10 and 5 HP:

Aurora: 43/52
Elrembriel: 23/28
Irabeth: 38/42
Filburn: 41/44

I think we'd better make sure we're all at max for what's coming. Aurora will use one of her LoH remaining and, if necessary, a CLW. Elrembriel will take a CLW and I'd recommend Irabeth and Filburn do the same.

Aurora
LoH (2d6)[4]
CLW (1d8+1)[3]

Elrembriel
CLW (1d8+1)[3]

EDIt - Meh. I don't think I want to use a potion for the last 2 HP.

Aurora: 50/52
Elrembriel: 26/28
Irabeth: 38/42
Filburn: 41/44

[JWallyR]

1) I want to note for the record that Morevek will claim the Ring of Protection +1 unless someone else wants it. I seem to remember that being something of a consensus in hangouts, but it's been a very rough week so I'm all over the place.

2) I did a quick review of DM posts in recent threads, and other than the things Farmerbink mentioned, the only thing that stood out to me were the runes carved into the Shrine on either side of an insignia. I'm hoping Morevek can get a Knowledge check to discern whatever meaning or significance might be to those runes: (1d20+9)[29] (all have the same mod) + (1d6)[6] free inspiration.

3) I found the "Alchemist's Lab" item, but I don't see any Masterwork stats. Am I to assume that it's a +3 instead of the +2 on Craft (Alchemy) checks? Or is it a Masterwork Portable Alchemist's Lab, and therefore a +2 instead of a +1? Or is it something else entirely?

[DarkOne-Rob]

1. I concur.

2. Nice rolls.

3. I think an Alchemist Lab is required for most (non-Alchemists, non-Investigators) to perform Alchemy checks at all. The Masterwork should add a +2 (if I am remembering correctly).

[JWallyR]

Spellcraft checks for identification:
(1d20+12)[20]

+1 cold iron longsword (not identified): (1d20+12)[26]
(1x) amulet of natural armor +1 (not identified): (1d20+12)[30]
(1x) chain shirt +1 (not identified): (1d20+12)[31]
(1x) breastplate +1, emblazoned with Iomedae's holy symbol (not identified): (1d20+12)[27]
(1x) cloak of protection +1 (not identified): (1d20+12)[22]
(1x) +1 blinding shield (not identified): (1d20+12)[29]

DM approval of successes would be awesome, or I can try to look up DCs?

In any case, assuming we are able to successfully determine these items, would Morevek still be the logical choice for the amulet of natural armor? (Assuming same reasoning as for the ring of Protection)

Oh, and what's a cloak of protection?

[Farmerbink]

I think you beat all the DCs.

And It's a brain fart.

[Gwynfrid]

I think the bulk of the non-magical weapons should be turned over to Irabeth and her resistance group. All that cold iron will do a lot of good.

Among the rest I guess Waylan will love the bow and arrows. Once Aurora has used her potion of barkskin, I think the amulet of natural armor would be a reasonable ask. She has no interest in any of the other things. And if the cloak is actually a cloak of resistance, then I would like to claim it for Elrembriel, who has the worst saves of the group by far.

[Farmerbink]

It is actually a cloak of resistance.

(that almost said "clock")

[DarkOne-Rob]

Does Aurora have any Natural Armor Bonuses? How about Morevek? If either are lacking such a bonus, the Amulet of Natural Armor +1 should go to them first. If both have Natural AC bonuses, Filburn would use it.

JWallyR, the description you gave in your post was more like gaining a natural armor bonus than a deflection bonus. Those bonuses are more like a force field than increased thickness of skin. Just FYI.

FarmerBink - is the MW Steel Shield a Heavy or Light Shield?

Filburn could use the +1 Blinding Shield (if Aurora already has a magic shield - if not, she can have it). I haven't looked at her character sheet, though.

Does Waylan want the Masterwork Composite Longbow (+3 Str)? It would be a significant upgrade to Filburn's ranged option, but if it would be better used as a primary weapon, I will of course decline and let him have it instead.

The armors are a bit more complicated. The +1 chain shirt is a straight upgrade from MW chain shirt. The Breastplate is more AC (+2 for Filburn), but will decrease his skill checks by the same amount. In addition, he isn't really religious, so the holy symbol is not a perk. If someone else would use it, they should.

[JWallyR]

Morevek did not have any natural armor bonus, so I was writing him as claiming the amulet. I forgot mid-post that it was an amulet and not a ring, though, so that's where the mistake was. I'll correct it. He already had a ring of protection +1, which is a deflection bonus.

Morevek has no interest in any of the weapons (they're not Katanas and he has a strength penalty), shields or armor (can't use 'em).

[MuffinMan]

Waylan's current bow (+1 magic, +1 Str) is better for him than the +3 str composite longbow, so he will pass on that.

He'll claim the MW heavy mace as a backup weapon and the arrows, of course.

The breastplate would hinder his Max Dex, so he'll pass on it. The +1 chain shirt would be a straight upgrade for Waylan, but priority should go to Filburn if he wants it. Similarly the +1 cloak is always beneficial, but Waylan has solid saves already and someone else could probably benefit more from it.

[Farmerbink]

I need to request some clarification. While Morevek is working to open the door, where is everyone else?
