DrK Wrath Righteous Reboot OOC

[TankLaser007]

I'm thinking the following for my spells Grease/Obscuring for control and I have limited 5 round invisibilty and a darkvision/lowlight vision debuff

1^st Level (5 slots):

• Abundant Ammunition (Infinite mundane ammo, 6 minutes)
• Shield (+4 Shield bonus to AC [Force], 4 minutes)
• ?
• ?
• ?

2^nd Leve (2 slots)l:

• Cat's Grace (+4 Dex, 10 minutes)
• Cat's Grace (+4 Dex, 10 minutes)

P/ Day Buffs:

• Align Weapon (+2 Crit Confirmation and [Lawful OR [Good] on weapon, 19 minutes) 3/day
• Shield of Faith (+2 Deflection bonus to AC, 4 minutes) 1/day

===

@DrK is there enough time/resources that I might be able to copy some spells from Quendys' spell book?

[farothel]

That is a great theme song for the party! Love it

Are you guys done gearing up and ready to rest/sleep and assault the Grey Garrison in the morning?

Can I get a full plate there? If the group agrees to pay for it, I would like one.

While not relevant yet (we mostly fought humanoids), I grant the the Rage power Lesser Celestial Blood if you accept my ragesong: attacks are treated as good-aligned weapons bypassing DR; additional 1d6 points of Dam to an evil outsider for melee attacks.

Could be useful vs that Tiefling Alchemist.

What does ragesong do if we have to accept it? Because I like the fact that I can make my greatsword good aligned, either by this or by the Align weapon buff. If we use the latter only when confronted by enemies with DR, we should be fine with the limited use.

So, to confirm: we do it bottom-up? Not starting with taking out the wardstone?

I think there's little choice unless we can fly. climbing up the side of a tower will be noticed and we'll get shot off while helpless and the heavy armoured characters are not really nimble climbers (or stealthy). Unless you want to split the party?

Given the size of the windows, flying would not quite work. But there is, potentially, gaseous form and we can afford that on someone, so, yep, splitting the party. Too bad?

If we can be sure there's no guards on top, it might be the easy way actually. One person in gaseous form goes with the rod while the others create a diversion (full frontal attack for instance). Touch the wardstone and come back. You probably need two castings then, if I understand the spell correctly.

Yea, a frontal assault should be good. I want to throw in some Invis and some Hiding (have both), so should be as safe as it gets, even with the guards. Will need a scroll and a potion.

@DrK: Do they have two shots of Gaseous Form here in the inn? One can be a scroll, another one must be a potion.

[Spore]

I would decide to take 100 gp to take two platinum rings to cast Shield Other on Tali. Sorry for the last minute thing.

It seems unclear if it is 50 gp for one or for both, but marked on the spreadsheet.

[Spore]

As for the Gaseous Form thing, I feel it too unsafe in character and out. If it goes badly a single character is potentially outright MURDERED. Because why would they not guard the ONE thing that assures them complete victory? Why would they leave the important trinket (tm) lying around when they know they might have killed the town's defenses, but there must be wizards in the survivors? Yes, 5th level casters able to cast Gaseous Form are rare and usually known but if you assault a city with a horde of demons you WILL have a few up there to guard.

And OOC, it is probable the big bad has their bedchamber or whatnot close to this thing.

I raise your Str/Con by +2 (or your own rage stat), Will save +1, -1 AC, but you get usual rage issues [can't concentrate; cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride)].
Luckily, you don't get fatigue ends. You choose to accept it turn by turn at start.



I have amplified rage feat so I go to +8 (own rage stat +4), so I'm a decent warrior while singing. Mostly makes up for BAB loss since Skald isn't full BAB.


Good scrolls for bards on Wiz spell book:
Heroism, Good Hope, Moment of Greatness

I would like 4 scrolls of Moment of greatness if possible. I guess since scrolls are cheap we could just buy them.
For one roll , the targets can double a type of morale bonus (+2 Str becomes +4; +1 bless becomes +2, etc).

I could sing and give all of us a cool bonus next turn.

[RCgothic]

I've just realised we now have two Talis in the party!

I call dibs!

[TankLaser007]

Maybe we share an Elven ancestor. Or maybe Talisin is the masculine and Tali the feminine, maybe the name is unisex and Tali is the derivative or diminutive version. I just recycled the name from an old WFRP Wood Elf I had when I was a wee nipper. Its a Gaelic Welsh name. Party can call him Caiseal or Cai or whatever is more convenient IC. Or Griff because of all the griffin skin/mane/hide he uses...

Edit: What's more interesting is Tali is a essentially a pyromancer and Talisin has a pathological fear of fire and gets penalties when near flame or fire.

Yes. Although I'd caution about splitting the party. You'll know from your time in the city that the top floor of the tower has no windows so the closest you'd be would be the 1st floor

THere would be a maximum of 2

He would be able to share for the standard 100gp/page stuff. But you'd be limited with a single evenings scribbling and only common Wizard spells

[TankLaser007]

Looks like the tower is likely warded/guarded so its going to be a long slog up the tower...

We should decide who's going to carry the wand/rod, also sounds like it might suppress/dispel common items so it could be useful in battle but maybe better not to risk it.

If I were to scribe one of these spell, what, if any do you all think might be of use for this occasion, if nothing then I'll stick with what I currently have.

• Strength of the Bull (200 GP)
• Glitter Dust (200 GP)
• Invisibility (200 GP)

[Spore]

A way to combat invisibility is very welcome, yes.

[u-b]

• Strength of the Bull (200 GP)
• Glitter Dust (200 GP)
• Invisibility (200 GP)

Of these, we sort of have Invisibility already (as potions; not sure if we should or should not use this effect for our frontal assault). We have some melee types, so a few shots of Bull's Strength would be handy. They won't last the whole building, so you'll have to time them just right to have good effect. Glitterdust is easier to use (just cast it when you need it) and generally is also a good bet. I'd say your choice between the two, depending on whether you want to cast in or out of combat.

[farothel]

Just take the magic stuff you need and let me know if there's money left over for a full plate.

@Drk: is there time to have a full plate fitted?

Yes. There will be bits of full plate available within the Defender's Heart and they can cobble a set together.

[TankLaser007]

If ist fine with the party then I'll copy Glitter Dust and prep that in place of one of the Cat's Grace for 200 gp..
If we want "moar melee" I can also copy Bull's Strength and have then prep Glitte and Bulls but that eats up 400.

Well, we can always use more, though I guess the biggest problem with the melee in this particular case would be our melee people hit with all sorts of interesting suff (bombs, spells and what not), not lack of damage or such. That said, you don't have to limit the spell-copying to what you plan to use tomorrow, provided you copy the spells you plan to use some day.

Ah yes, the magic thrift shop. :D

Ah yes, the magic thrift shop. :D

If you can kick the demons out the city the real shops will open again

So let's get cracking, shall we?

How much funds do we have in total?

[u-b]

About 5k, but some stuff is good enough to keep. I'll assemble the proposed transaction and re-post the doc link.

Here you go. I've marked the chime for the party, the CMW wand for Mong and a set of masterfork full plate for Jessica. Selling all the dubious stuff, so not sure if any sale gets vetoed by the DM on reasons of lack of demand. Additional expenses, including spellwriting, will be out of portable or usable stuff, but we do have enough funds there.

With the above in mind then I'll use 480 to scribe Bull's Strength and Glitter Dust, which will likely take the rest of the night before getting those 8 hours beauty sleep.

@DrK re the actual process its 1 hour reading p/ spell to try to understand (2 hours), then a Spell Craft check at DC 15+Spell Level (17) may I take 10 on these two tests? that would net me a 22 on each. Then to scribe it into my spell book takes an additional 1 hour p/lvl (4 hours) and 40gp p/ lvl 2 spell so 80. So the process should take around 6 hours, will I have enough time to do both while "taking 10"?

And as a spell learning related question I don't have a specialisation in any school but I do have several traits that grant school specific bonuses (Transmutation, Illusion, and Conjuration) do those provide any type of bonus for spell Craft checks when learning spells similar to the +2 granted for specialist wizards in their associated school?

[u-b]

I'm done with the transaction and awaiting the DM to confirm or correct it (in yellow).

Yes that is fine to do the scribing. With such common spells its pretty straightforward. If the traits give a spellcraft bonus to spellcraft checks then yes, otherwise no

Yes that is fine. The wartime bartering is up and running just fine.
