oh thanx for picking - Nokomis Stormbird she will speak in blue

[LairdMaon]

Hello, comrades! It's good to be chosen along with such fine individuals!

A Series of Intricate Flexes shall speak in this brick-like red.

[Auranghzeb]

Hi, Thrilled to be part of what's probably going to be a very strange experience!


What's really brutal is that basically ALICE is the weakest character here by a large amount... I crack myself when I see the other sheets!

Alice will not speak much, but she will do it in Indigo

[Arael666]

Hjalmar will speak in Dark Green

I'll make the final adjustments to the sheet

[LairdMaon]

Sheer updated. These numbers do not include channeled spells.

HP: 283 , AC:100 , To Hit: 102 , minimum damage: 122

Edited because I forgot the 2handed str modifier

[samduke]

no as a whole I did not worry about it except that alice listed a fully buffed so I listed that as well.


@Yas392
a question or three

are we going into this encounter as a group
are we going into this encounter pre-buffed
and
if there is nothing other than just this encounter what if anything would we already know about the encounter

[Auranghzeb]

@samduke How does Nokomis look like? I lost track with the Templates. Is she a tauric-four legged creature with all those on top? Just to picture her.

Hjalmar is Colossal in size, Fully Buffed ALICE is Huge

[LairdMaon]

A Series of Intricate Flexes is medium, though he does have two sigils floating over his head and several soulmelds shaped on his body.

And yes, he's willing to cooperate with a fastball special.

[Auranghzeb]

Found an easy tweak to make ALICE actually useful at the level of the group. Using the Epic Handbook version of Pseudonatural Template whenever bound to zceryl. Would that be acceptable @Yas?

1) Yes.

2) Pre-buffed or not buffed, up to you.

3) Not going to spoil it. The knowledge will be revealed soon once sheets are finalized and I get IC up. *rub hands*

Go for it. He She *cough* seems to be lacking in AC.

[Arael666]

1) Yes.

2) Pre-buffed or not buffed, up to you.

In that case, I'll apply a few other buffs since the sheet only accounted for 24h+ buffs

[samduke]

not much to discuss about how templates may or may not make something descriptive wise appear for overall, I would have to say female centaur ish but instead of a horse backside - a lizard backside..

hope that helps

@yas392
on the subject of Pre-buffed I will just put the relevant in my box of information under *other

*EDIT
@ Party
Nokomis has some GP to spend still 223,898.99 gp to be exact - if you have any good suggestions

[LairdMaon]

I somehow keep forgetting I can do undead stuff if we need distractions/backup.

[Auranghzeb]

I somehow keep forgetting I can do undead stuff if we need distractions/backup.

One thing Alice can do is spam greater pseudo natural storm elementals and huge astral constructs at a pretty reasonable rate.

[Yas392]

Once y'äll are done with finishing touches, I would like a post from each of you to notify me that you're ready.

[Arael666]

Done with adjustments. All casting now will be done IC, also rolling spell turning (1d4+6)[7]

[samduke]

@Yas392
so a portable hole costs 20,000 GP & a type 1 bag of holding costs 2500 GP & an arrow 5 Sp = -> arrow of death ?

fired from a Magical Composite Greatbow with strength, on impact the BOH is pushed inside the portable hole and Bang

The question before spending any GP on this madness is would you rule it to work as described ?

if so I will work it up.

IF not - then near as I can see Nokomis Stormbird has a bunch oif unspent GP that I am not sure what to spend it on.

[LairdMaon]

Yeah, I've got 300k left too

[Auranghzeb]

ALICE is tapped out of Gold, she accepts donations. But Staffs and Wands could be a good item to invest party resources.

[LairdMaon]

174,894.5 gold left. I'm accepting requests and suggestions.

And a note on my minimum damage: If I use all 6 hands, according to Savage Species, my minimum damage is 284.5, and if I buff with Arms of Plenty and Girallon's Blessing, it jumps to 446.5.

I hit hard.

*LairdMaon I only made the chart based on the numbers I saw for the single best to hit/damage - so great those are nice fat numbers



lets presume a Party fund here for a second (398,793.49)

Samduke -> 223,898.99
LairdMaon-> 174,894.5

Auranghzeb -> 0
Arael666 -> unknown

I agree that these are good party things to have, I think we all can use or at least UMD each of these Items
what to get?

Staffs

Wands

Potions

I have 66.725 remaining, but I don't think I can buy anythink meaninfull at this point. You guys can make use of it

[Auranghzeb]

I have no idea on what can you do with that money. Maybe a side weapon that is not Brilliant Energy? in case the boss is a golem or an undead. I also have no idea how any of you even have money left (I'm too lazy to do pre-game crafting)... +6 weapons are 720k a piece. I had to make the assumption that a +4 Bane Evil weapon would do the trick to overcome Epic DR, because 700k on a weapon would have left me with nothing.

Other than that, I'm ready and fully buffed.

Nope. Just a portal to the astral plane.

[samduke]

well unless someone can think of something truly needed Nokomis Stormbird is ready to go

[Yas392]

Also, can everyone list their caster/manifester levels on their sheet and here?

[Auranghzeb]

Mine is on the Sheet, a lowly 21 ML (+ 5 vs Dispel effects).
