DrK's Age of Worms OOC pt7

[Ghostfoot]

I guess we're not strictly under-cover? I mean not shouting our presence and hurling fireballs about (yet) but holy symbols etc are on show?

That'd be my preference. Although I will drop my Righteous Aura for now, so not glowing like a beacon to attract all those harpies.

[RCgothic]

Mirriana's being subtle. She's dressed smartly with a fancy weapon at her side, but she's not currently armoured, so the holy symbol on her shield isn't visible. Her original holy symbol is tucked inside her shirt, so that's not on display either.

Not that it apparently matters in the company of two of Heironeous!

[redzimmer]

Well if we want to be antagonistic we could wander to the bog slums and give free healing...

[Stegyre]

I have been told -- I forget by who -- that devils are like starfish: if you rip them apart, each piece grows into a new devil, so really, we would be "helping" this Zeech if we just grabbed a few and . . .

I like that saying

@ ALL - happy to follow Mirriana's suggestion for a trip to the Temple or Kord?

[redzimmer]

My current tactic of "yell at random people" has not proven fruitful. Let try the Crusader's plan.

[Stegyre]

Yep. We can continue with Merrick’s “plan” on our way to fulfilling Mirriana’s. (How’s that for efficiency? Mir will be so proud of us, I bet!)

[RCgothic]

Argh, just realised you're waiting on me. Really busy at work right now. I'll try and get something up soon.

[DrK]

Be curious to see how the trio of warrior woman respond to mysoginist Priest of Kord

[Stegyre]

They can always take the easy way out and meekly walk around to the back entrance.

(Somehow, Tal does not see that happening.)

[RCgothic]

Taking no nonsense, basically.

We're powerful warriors here on important business from an epic mage, champions of games he'll have heard of, and slayers of a local dragon.

We're not threatening. We're not going to tresspass further than we already have. We can talk somewhere else. But if he thinks we're going round the back he's mistaken and he'll risk attracting some significant displeasure.

That wasn't a great diplomacy roll, but hopefully it was good enough to attract at least grudging compliance.

[redzimmer]

Would showing him Illthane's trophied head help with the illustration?

Pity Goat has the Champion's Belt, iirc Kord has a relic of the same name.

[RCgothic]

I think Goat gave me the Champion's belt prior to his departure, but I may be wrong about that.

Edit: I probably remembered that wrong, so I've edited it out.

[Stegyre]

That wasn't a great diplomacy roll, but hopefully it was good enough to attract at least grudging compliance.

But Merrick pulled out the dragon’s severed head with a real flourish!

Is competition included in Kord’s portfolio? Maybe we could suggest some sort of contest to determine who is weak and must use the back entrance.

[redzimmer]

Absolutely I am certain you were given the belt.

Ooh yes I like this!

religion (1d20+5)[20] to see if that's a thing

But what sort of contest would it be? Wrestle? Race? Staring competition?

[redzimmer]

Dance Off!

[DrK]

Out comes the survivor style immunity trial

[redzimmer]

Once upon a time I had a barbarian-sorcerer hire a troupe of actors to pretend to be my entourage and I announced myself as a foreign prince and staged a parading entrance like Aladdin.

As your legal counsel, I would argue that, if you hired them, they are your entourage.

I see someone didn’t use Wisdom as the dump stat!

[Ghostfoot]

Just been trying to read up to remember who all these notables are - lots of leads.

I'm fine with chasing dragons, sounds fun.

Remind me who/ what this cleric of the Cudgel is?

[Ghostfoot]

Just finalising my spell selection

I see Merrick's got Mass Resist Energy but I thought I might also grab Energy Immunity for Mirriana & I. Thoughts?

Looking to limit AoE hp damage so Shield Other doesn't kill me!

[RCgothic]

I've not been too concerned about AoE damage because I take no damage on a successful save, but anything that held us both take less damage is probably a good idea given that we're the party damage sinks.

[redzimmer]

It’s a 1-in-five shot guessing the right energy of the day. Never hurts to double up

[redzimmer]

Hiya DrK, I can't remember... did you okay Create Magic Tattoo for my spell list?

And if so, who wants one of these:

*Spell resistance equal to 10 + 1 per three caster levels.
*+2 enhancement bonus to any one ability score
*+1 spellcaster level.

[Ghostfoot]

Spell resistance sounds wise, I think.

I also have available:

energy immunity x2
protection from energy (110hp) x4 (or more)

if anyone has suggests on how to utilise?

[DrK]

Zarina will cast....

Dragon skin (Black)
Shield
Greater Luminous armour (1d4)[3] Str damage, 2 hits of the wand lesser restore (1d4)[4] and (1d4)[3]
Mirror Image (1d4+4)[6] images


Any other spells or ready to enter the traitor's graves

@Starbin
She has heroics spells if there is a feat that Lan would like for the next 2 hours

How many tattoos are we talking about? By RAW, a single character could have up to 3. Here is what would be useful for Taliesn:

* +2 competence bonus on attacks;
* +2 resistance bonus on all saves;
* Spell resistance
* +1 luck bonus on attacks;

(Yes, I know that's 4, and Taliesn can count that high. Just thought I'd rank them in order of likely usefulness: attack first, because he's an attack monster; improved saves second, to backup his concentration-save maneuvers; spell resistance next, because that's likely less reliable.)

[RCgothic]

I know I owe a post. I'm not gone! I'll try and put something together tomorrow.
