Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
Anyone able to do smaller bits of damage, I'd love for this Kobold to be dead, but don't feel like it's the right choice to spend my singular big attack on it. AoE effects in this vicinity would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance?

What happens if the electricity globe goes into water and/or when a Lightning Bolt is cast into water? Spellcraft (1d20+15)[18]

Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
The electricity globe is snuffed out, expending its damage in the square of water it entered.
Lightning Bolt will expand identically to how a fireball does in air, though with a radius smaller for the distance it has traveled if it connected with anything on the way. If it hits the surface of the water without hitting anything else, it has an identical radius to a standard fireball spell.

Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
1. Sure thing - I brought it up because it seems like a possible topic and I wanted to be sure everyone remembered. Given the PbP format of the game it is important to try and keep those threads going, even if in real life it has taken long enough that people might otherwise forget.
2. The wisdom of bringing up or not bringing up this topic is certainly complicated. Given the alien nature of the lizardfolk culture it is also hard to know if it is a good idea or not without either an appropriate knowledge check or experience with the tribe.
3. Hishka may have its own suspicions and have decided not to ask. Or it may assume one of you can track and traverse the swampland. Hence why it might be interesting to discuss...
Hishka is specifically noted as hermaphroditic in the campaign material, and for an interesting reason. The lizardfolk deity, Semuanya, is both male and female (detailed in Dragon Magazine #335), and their most honored representatives are similarly in-between. Since it isn't actually divine itself, Hishka is less than both sexes in some ways (inability to breed itself, for example), but blessed with a different perspective on what is important to its people and a higher intellectual capability than most of its peers. It has been difficult for me to remember to stress this at times, but I mention it to try and highlight the interesting aspects of it. You all know I am not inclined much towards today's "woke" culture - this campaign was released in 2005, so I don't think this is following that trend.

Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
Jan has a -1 Wisdom mod and lots of Cha, she feels beholden to Ssayth for his help, and for what she might see as unjust exile from a tribe clearly under the negative influence of Ilthane (that's the black dragon, right?) so she's inclined to try and "right that wrong" as well.

Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
The Twisted Branch were definitely under the influence of the evil black dragon Ilthane. That may or may not have contributed to Ssayth's fall from favor with the tribe - it hasn't been explicitly stated. His failure to secure new, worm-free hunting grounds and the loss of his raiding band (at the hands of the PCs) was the final straw that led to his exile, according to what he has told the party.

Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
Here's a compilation of the knowledge we have gathered (please add any stuff I would have missed).
Spoiler: Results for the Age of WormsOver two thousand years ago, prophecy foretold a coming apocalypse, a time of death and wriggling destruction. The prophecy has not changed significantly in this time, as it resists the efforts of fanatics to reword its predictions in support of transient agendas. There are eight events predicted that herald the dawn of this Age of Worms. These tragedies include world-shaking destruction, unholy powers rising, and powerful artifacts being rediscovered. Through them all the worm that walks dreams, waiting the day its heralds rouse it to feed on all that is...
Spoiler: Results for KyussKyuss is a demigod or minor deity (details vary on which) associated with creation and mastery of undead. His symbol is a human skull infested with small green worms. His portfolio includes the creation and control of undead, decay, unholy transformation of the flesh, and worms.
Spoiler: Results of Wormspawn- Some zombies are just plain harder to kill that others - you can tell the really tough ones by the worms that infest them. Their wounds close up as fast as you can hack them apart. (They have fast healing.)
- Worm-infested zombies are dangerous, for there is a good chance they are a Spawn of Kyuss, a disease-festering menace. Their writhing green worms can transform others into undead horrors. (They have the ability to spawn additional Spawns of Kyuss.)
- Spawns of Kyuss exude potent supernatural auras of fear. Their touch not only infects victims with a terrible disease (called "Kyuss' Gift" that causes the victim's Wisdom and Charisma to waste away and hinders magical healing) but can also infest others with the worms that gnaw on their bodies. The touch of silver or simple damage can kill them before they begin to burrow and make their way to the victim's brain... (Paladins and anyone else immune to diseases are immune to "Kyuss Gift" but not the infestation and potential death and reanimation the worm infestation can cause.)
- Magic that removes curses or diseases can save someone infected with the worms of Kyuss even if they have reached the victim's brain. Such a magic effect directed at the spawn itself can transform all but the most powerful into normal zombies. (Note that if the effect allows a save, even if labeled "harmless" the spawn can attempt to resist the spell effect and remain a full spawn.)
- Some of Kyuss' spawn are much more powerful than the typical spawn and possess strange powers - like the ability to exhale clouds of noxious grave wind or the ability to spray the surrounding area with infectious worms. Not all spawn of Kyuss are humanoid in shape and worms might infest a variety of natural and monstrous forms.
- Favored spawn of Kyuss (which are rumored to evidence the impending Age of Worms) and other, non-humanoid creatures infected with the worms are often called "Wormspawn" by knowledgeable sages who survive encountering them. The more common spawn (which you all encountered below Blackwall Keep) have existed for centuries and, while dangerous, do not necessarily portent such an apocalypse.

Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
Alchemist's Fire DC 20
Craft check (1d20+20)[33] 35 (forgot the bonus from using tools in lab)
Spoiler: Craft Rules..
1. Find the item’s price in silver pieces (1 gp = 10 sp). 200sp
2. Find the item’s DC from Table: Craft Skills. DC 20
3. Pay 1/3 of the item’s price for the raw material cost. 6gp 6sp 7cp?? I
4. Make an appropriate Craft check representing one week’s worth of work. If the check succeeds, multiply your check result by the DC. If the result × the DC equals the price of the item in sp, then you have completed the item. (If the result × the DC equals double or triple the price of the item in silver pieces, then you’ve completed the task in one-half or one-third of the time. Other multiples of the DC reduce the time in the same manner.) If the result × the DC doesn’t equal the price, then it represents the progress you’ve made this week. Record the result and make a new Craft check for the next week. Each week, you make more progress until your total reaches the price of the item in silver pieces. 35x20=700 First alchemist's fire is completed in 2 days and 8 hours worth of work.Last edited by Albinobrow; 2020-10-04 at 09:25 AM.

Loot Update
Sorry, I missed adding the treasure cache from the egg chamber to the loot spreadsheet. It's updated now.
After splitting all of the cash, every PC gets 577.16 GP.
In addition, we have these magic items that need to be claimed or sold:
- +1 Returning Trident
(to Frederick or sell?) - Amulet of Natural Armor +1
(to Olofire?) - Bracers of Armor +3
(to Jan or Marzena?) - Ring of Minor Spell Storing
(Could be used for 3 cure light wounds, or 1 remove disease)

Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
Very nice, thanks.
A purely clerical note about Marzena's personal gear: the items referenced in the spreadsheet are NPC gear as listed by Dark One, but as a PC I selected something else.
Regarding loot at hand:
- Marzena has a high interest in the Bracers of Armor, since she doesn't have Mage Armor as a spell. Alternatively, she could acquire the spell fairly cheaply.
- I recommend giving the Ring of Minor Spell Storing to a non-caster, as a backup in case we're in big trouble with the casters incapacitated. Suggestions for stored spells:
a) See Invisibility and Cure Light Wounds
b) Dispel Magic.DM in Mummy's Mask I, II, III | Keshkaru and Ozkrak in Extinction Curse | Marzena in Age of Worms | Elrembriel in Wrath of the Righteous | Gurmok in Nightmare in Katapesh | DM in Catacombs of Ravenloft Avatar courtesy of Neoseph7

Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
I think it worth noting that Ilthane planned to use the Ring of Spell Storing for Remove Disease. If the black dragon who was trying to spread this plague was concerned enough to want defenses it says something...

Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
Just saying, those are in short supply with this party. That leaves Frederick is the most apt wielder, which I don't mind, but I wanted to point out that
1: he's not a non-caster, and will have options for healing and
2: he's likely to be in a bad place, if anyone is. It's kinda of my MO to put him in the most dangerous spot and see if he survives. XD

Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
I won't be able to use this amulet unless you are able to wear two. I already have the amulet of mighty fists (Agile) which is pretty important to him to perform how he does.
Also, while not a caster, per say, Olofire has many options for to heal and alchemically affect the battlefield in his extracts and with the items he creates. Alchemist's Fire of course, tanglefoot bag is an excellent option as well! I can look into the Kyussbane oil also. Anyhoo, I can make most anything! So give me a wishlist!Spoiler: My Characters

Re: OoC Age of Worms (Take Three)
1) Currency noted and added to Jan's sheet
2) Jan has a wand of Mage Armor, which IIRC doesn't stack with bracers, so I'm comfortable with letting Marzena have them if she desires.
3) Jan is a caster but has no healing options of note (not even a CLW wand yet for use with UMD) so I am happy to hold onto the ring with a healing spell in it or something... I want to add utility wands to her setup at some point, but I haven't yet made it a point. Maybe I should...Lehasti Gesmeha and Azkin for Mummy's Mask

1) Good.
2) Glad that is resolved.
3) As mentioned in Discord, post that Jan is going shopping and she will eventually make her way to a church where it could be done.
