Forgot flanking with the frog. Still a solid hit.

[Farmerbink]

He'll get an AoO:
(1d20+10)[12]

[Gwynfrid]

I rebuilt Elrembriel's spreadsheet as best I could. Good thing we had a loot table. Let me know if you see anything mistaken. Fortunately, this was only about spells and equipment, since we hadn't leveled between July 25 and now.

[Farmerbink]

Fortunately, this was only about spells and equipment, since we hadn't leveled between July 25 and now.

I suppose that's an ironic plus-side to our fairly slow pace. For what it's worth, I still recommend downloading a backup of your character sheets. Also, a level should be fairly soon in coming.

[Gwynfrid]

You bet I'm upgrading my "save as pdf" policy. I used to do it only once per level, now I will do it after every significant equipment change as well.

[Farmerbink]

Right? I honestly hadn't ever considered it, but I'm sure glad you were doing it in Mummy's Mask. That said, Turi will be finished (again) this weekend. Probably Sunday. *sigh*

Unrelated: thanks to die rolls, I've determined it to be about 3 and a half hours since you first cast mage armor. If your duration is more than 3 hours, it's still active.

Waylan's initiative (1d20+6)[9]

[JWallyR]

A couple of quick Knowledge checks for Morevek: (1d20)[18] (1d20)[6]

The first for knowledge of the "Red Morning Massacre" and the second about Nahyndrian crystals.

Mods:
Arcana, Dungeoneering, Planes: +8
Religion, Engineering, Geography, History: +5
All others: +4, untrained

[Farmerbink]

"The Red Morning Massacre" refers to the following historical event, dating just after the first crusade:

"During the final dark days of Sarkoris, the people of Kenabres saw horrifying sights to the west. Foul, twisted creatures scraped their way across the land. The sky burned green, and plumes of acrid smoke drifted across the new wasteland. Hysterical refugees splashed across the river and sought safety behind the walls of Kenabres. At first these refugees were allowed in unquestioningly. In early 4607 ar, however, a lilitu demon named Minagho entered Kenabres magically disguised as a refugee. Once inside the town’s walls, she revealed her true form and slaughtered 62 citizens before vanishing in a cloud of greasy black smoke. After the Red Morning Massacre, as it was called, Kenabres refused entrance to any except those who could demonstrate direst need. Those admitted were forced to undergo protracted and painful tests to demonstrate their mortality. Individuals who fell under suspicion were turned away or executed on the spot."

The "Nahyndrian crystals" no doubt could illuminate some facet of the demon's plans, but you've never heard of them before.

[Gwynfrid]

Identifying a spell effect already in place is a Knowledge(Arcana) roll DC20+spell level, or 25. Quite a bit harder than the magic items. Anyway, let's give it a shot, (1d20+11)[19] - nope.

[JWallyR]

Along those same lines:
Knowledge (Arcana): (1d20+8)[18] for the Unhallow
Knowledge (Arcana): (1d20+8)[27] for the Zone of Truth

[Gwynfrid]

Time to get back to books... Assuming 2 days of work ie. 16 hours.

Other spells, in order - study & copy if understood

[Gwynfrid]

I missed one DC16 item. (1d20+13)[21] - passed, I'll edit my IC post accordingly.

[Gwynfrid]

Initiative (1d20+4)[23] (but I think you should really roll that for us, it would save a ton of time).

I have my latest status at hand from the last posted stat block. How much damage did Scruech'ul take?
As for spells, I recall that I was running really low, with pretty much nothing useful beyond the one remaining summon monster II. I have, however, a couple of scrolls... Are the mounts just regular horses?

[Farmerbink]

Elrembriel init: 23
Waylan init: 19

Aurora: (1d20+2)[4]
Morevek: (1d20+4)[10]
FIlburn: (1d20+8)[12]
baddie: (1d20+1)[9]

Edit: so everyone but Aurora acts before the baddies. I will probably use his post as an active attack- it's unlikely the opponents will fail to close the distance during their turn. At any rate, everyone but Waylan and Aurora- because they already have- please post round 1! :-)

[JWallyR]

A Knowledge check to recognize class mechanics of these NPCs, and potentially ascertain a tactical weakness:
(1d20+9)[14] plus [roll]1d6[roll] free Inspiration die

All Knowledge skills are at +9 Mod at the moment, so... whichever one's appropriate.

[JWallyR]

Wow. Freaking 5. And I failed on the additional 1d6: (1d6)[2]

[JWallyR]

Spending 2 points from Inspiration pool to get 1d6 on Morevek's attack: (1d6)[3]

[Untarr]

Crit Confirm

Attack - (1d20+8)[16]
Bonus - (2d8+14)[24]

[Gwynfrid]

Regarding loot: Elrembriel will grab the wand of Magic Missile, and one potion each. The arrows and scrolls logically go to Waylan (the only question about Heroism is who we're going to cast it on). The Chime of Opening can be used be anybody, I guess. As for the wand of Daylight, I would give it to Filburn - unless he prefers to keep his actions to do something else, in which case Elrembriel (or Waylan?) can be in charge of keeping the lights on.

[MuffinMan]

Sounds good to me. Waylan will definitely take the arrows, scrolls, and also one of the masterwork bucklers if it's unclaimed!

Potions should probably go to frontliners and those without in-class healing, which I think is everyone but Waylan. I'd prefer not to manage the wand of daylight, but I can if need be.

[DarkOne-Rob]

Regarding the remaining loot:

7 potions of cure serious wounds taking one
3 potions of lesser restoration party loot
a chime of opening Filburn is one of the scouts, so this makes sense
1 masterwork bucklers Filburn already has a MW Light Steel Shield
and a wand of daylight (24 charges) Daylight is on the Bard Spell List, so Filburn can take it

The potions are not effective in-combat healing - using them incurs attacks of opportunity and using them takes too many actions. Filburn can cast Cure Light Wounds, Aurora has Lay on Hands, Waylan isn't in melee but has healing spells, Elrembriel is not in melee (and we want to protect her if possible). This leaves only Morevek as a PC likely to need to use them that doesn't have much better chances.

Instead, I would advise us to consider them as out-of-combat healing (3d8+5 HPs healed has a decent chance of being enough to be worth it). This could allow Waylan to use more of this 3rd level spells (when we level up to 5) on offense instead of healing. Filburn will take one potion of Cure Serious Wounds, but the Potions of Restoration should be held as party-loot, IMO. Who wants to track the party loot on their sheet? Filburn has the strength to carry it all without issue..

Speaking of leveling up to 5...are we planning to level mid-dungeon (and ignoring the role-playing issues that could incur) or are we leveling up at another time? Is this a good time for such to happen?

[Farmerbink]

As long as someone documents carrying the potions, I don't care who it is. I don't want a crazy moment showing up and then we hash out whether or not Morevek should have been carrying a potion. Please decide and go with it.

At the risk of being "that guy," the only things that have happened since you guys leveled up were a generic encounter to hook MM up with a mount and a lot of talking. http://www.giantitp.com/forums/shows...postcount=1230

Also, because it will soon be relevant: initiative!
