Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
Hello all.
So just waiting on Merrick and Tal for this round then the Overgod (a very overly confident name for a monster) can return the flurry of attacks its received this roundThanks to Emperor Ing for the nice Avatar

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
Expect to get my post up tomorrow (Sunday).
EDIT: Nat. 1s are still fumbles, right -- even for demigods (or whatevers)? (Kinda embarrassing that this thing can only miss me on automatics, but AC is not my strong suit.)Last edited by Stegyre; 2022-01-09 at 09:14 PM.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
Well my dispel probably didn't work. Sorry.
Will for half damage for unholy blight and negate sickened: (1d20+19)[32]
Also my attack roll didn't parse, so trying again this time with delayed damage bonus. (1d20+17)[24]
So damage. That's an aced save, so 27 becomes 13, or 8 now, 5 later.
That divides to 4 to Elkist then 2 at the end of the turn, plus the same to Mirriana.
Bite is 21, so that's 10 to each of Elkist and Mirriana.
Total -16 hp each.Last edited by RCgothic; 2022-01-14 at 04:21 PM.

Any particular AC boosts to Elkist this round?

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
I've got nothing extra this turn. Protection devotion and Mass Shield if Faith is it I think.
With Shield Wall, my AC is 44, so it only just got me as well.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
The dispel nailed the spirit weapon, you hit shield of faith and it had a couple more defensive buffs on it. Also trimmed off a fair amount of damage so it had to frenzy so no more spells for it but the frenzy helped boost its offence a little

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
Tal is immune to sickening (Pauldrons of Health), rolling to halve damage though: Fort - (1d20+15)[17]
EDIT: Tal, Tal, Tal! (No worries, with this turn's rapid healing, he's still got 98 HP to go.)
EDIT 2: Just confirming -- this beastie ignores blur miss chance?Last edited by Stegyre; 2022-01-16 at 12:11 AM.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
I didn't realise Elkist was down so many hp. I'd have spared a Heal.
Hope we've got it this round.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
Well, the last round was the final straw and it has finally succumbed. Which was a shame. But its not designed to stand up to the savagery of a mildly optimised party

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
Wow that's a nice haul!
Looks like 48k in cash or gems and roughly 150k in items:
Ring of Evasion 25k
Rod of Flame Extinguishing 15k
Partial wand of Lightning Bolt @ CL9 ~4.6k
Partial wand of Haste @ CL7 ~2.9k
Belt of Dwarvenkind +4CON (14.9k + ~12k for upgrade)
Cloak of Arachnida 14k
Dawnstar ~60k
Not counting the potions and vials which I propose we keep.
The total fungible value is ~123k, or 20.5k each.
I propose we don't keep the dawnstar. As amazing as a +3 brilliant energy weapon (+7 effective) is, it takes a feat or a 7th level spellslot to use, is extremely fragile (8 hardness plus 8hp), and if it breaks it basically kills us all (200 damage to all within 10ft and beyond). Plus it's the only item whose resale value is more than one share of the loot, so that wouldn't divide nicely. I think we know a couple of priests who'd want it.
I also propose we keep the wands of haste and lightning bolt for party use. They don't give all that much on resale value, everyone's loot share would fall to ~20k in that instance.
The remainder we can divide up by cash or resale value.
Mirriana isn't interested in the ring of evasion (she has a similar ability) or the cloak of Arachnida or belt of Dwarvenkind.
I do think she'd keep the rod of extinguishing(7.5gpRS). Could be useful on a counterspeller. That'd leave me 12.5k from the rest, 8k of which would go towards animating my shield (+1 to +3 effective). I'll keep the remaining 4.5k in savings.Last edited by RCgothic; 2022-01-28 at 12:49 PM.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
I'm just wondering if this is potential useful as a nuclear option, as Tal could jump into the middle of either a large group of opponents or next to a really big bad meanie and detonate it while the rest of the party is out of range.
Just a thought (and don't we have magics that either postpone death or bring someone back? If it's just one of us, this may be viable.)

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
A quickened benign transposition with a summoned monster might eliminate the Tal fallout as well.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
I still need to check slots but the cloak and/or belt would serve Lan well. However, I’m definitely not hard over on stuff.
I’m gonna cast a vote for keeping the holy artifact. First, I don’t see our group selling the shroud of Turin back to the Catholic Church - feels inappropriate. Maybe we turn it back over to the Church of Pelor (for free) and they provide us with an appropriate alternative ...
Second, despite recent optimization, we’ve been pretty good at going trying to use DrK’s treasures, vice turning everything into a barter exchange. At the least, we could try and repurpose some of the items ... say morphing the items into something more useful to our group. Remember Lan using a a trident of returning for several levels?Life is ... life. As always bot/cut as necessary.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
I think we have a good chance of using most of this. With Mirriana taking the rod, party taking the wands, and Lan interested in the cloak and belt, I'm sure there's someone who could benefit from a ring of evasion.
I just think there are multiple reasons not to keep it:
- And I mention this first: none of us actually worship Pelor, have the True Believer Feat, or a 7th level Pelor related spellslot to spare. So as a Pelorian relic it's doubtful any of us actually can use it anyway.
- RP wise, Mirriana would think it deserves to be returned to the church of Pelor who can properly revere it.
- RP wise, Mirriana would think the risk of damaging a fragile relic by using it is too high.
- RP wise, Mirriana would be horrified at the thought of intentionally damaging it.
- It's a TPK waiting to happen. I can't expect to keep everyone alive if it blows up. Reviving people requires cash, which brings me to:
- OOC, it's a significant portion of the loot. Hopefully we can get a fair exchange for it (although we may not), but assuming we can get 30k for it anyone who takes it is effectively taking 10k over their limit, which reduces what the other 5 party members get by roughly 2k each.
I think I'm maybe on the verge of being outvoted. It is an awesome weapon. I just think for the reasons above it's the one piece of this lot we shouldn't try and keep.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
You’re not being out voted ... I agree we take it took the church. I just don’t think we can count it as part of the loot and expect full price back. I’m guessing we get some kind of bonus/boon for it.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
I feel we are custodians of this dawn star.
There may be an RP opportunity to make something of it with the Church of Pelor.
Long term I agree none of us want to claim it as 'their' weapon.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
Loot of use to Tal would be the Ring of Evasion and the Belt of Dwarvenkind, but in both cases, others may make better use of them. (I've already got plenty of HP and an admirably high Con, plus the ToB save maneuvers to help with at least one save per round.)
The Flight potions could be very useful for him, and probably less needed by others. I'd say anyone who can't readily fly should have at least one.
Healing stuff, meh, people can't do this themselves?

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
HPs always help those in melee, so feel free. I was interested in the bonus to Fort and the darkvision, but that's not critical. Lan doesn't need/want the ring.
As for the cloak, it's neat and gives Lan some new movement, but he can't use it until someone can merge his cloak of resistance. If we can't do that anytime soon, Lan will just take some potions for now.Life is ... life. As always bot/cut as necessary.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
The ring also works well on someone with a high reflex save as it will get used more often.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
Well, Lan has evasion already ... and will likely get imp evasion in the next level or two. So I'm not too concerned about it for him. But if others want it :D

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
Do you have an unused slot for another wondrous? Merrick could whip up a diadem or a vest etc of Resistence for you.

Re: DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7
Hey all
I would say in your current location of the Evil City of Prince Zeech hiding the dawn star is a wise idea
In terms of loot, wands are always useful and between Merrick and Zarina I’m sure they would like a wand each
The ring of Evasion would be handy for zarina, she currently has 2 rings but would be happy to trade one but equally I like her fire and lightning themed rings of elemental furyThanks to Emperor Ing for the nice Avatar
