That song ability looks like it boosts Bol's HS value to 19. He'll blow one HS and get to 44/53HP.

ok, the map indicates that the 5th statue on the left is a trap. Also, we should probably examine #4 on the left as well

Small survey here guys :

I kinda noticed a decrease of replies lately... Did you guys/gal loose interest or you simply have less time to post? You all reply enough and at an ok speed (no real complaint here, I guess I was blessed with an higher than average pace before), but thing seem to have slowed down a little. This is asked not to force/stir you to post more or anything, but to know if it is lack of time (I know how this is, I just had some constraint myself not long ago) or game content/story/format that causing this.

I always try to better my game style and make the game more enjoyable, so dont be afraid to tell me if there is some problems.

I have generally had less time throughout the day to post.
Um... I think the spelunking is cool, and the history of Magdebourg is cool to me.

Ace's posting rate went up when he was on a solo mission, since it was just him. He's just moving back down to his natural posting rate. Still loving the adventure and intrigue.

The game is still cool. I just didn't see much to do during the disarm attempts.

Ok, thanks for the replies.

I did fear what Ashe said too, I might have let you a little too much loose right now. You were in between two part of the story and at a point were I needed to link up Ace with the group.


Now for the temple there, I know the image is quite large.
When you move somewhere I'll fan it down.
I also know that it is quite bland (compared to what the description says), but there isnt much I can do with Maptools about that. Still the room have every basic features mentionned.
I just added in the descriptor bellow the map the location of the feature mentionned in the text.

It is up to you to take action or use skills as you see fit.

Should we not check the back rooms to make sure that whoever set up those runes isn't here?

I can read the language I have seen (supernal, you said?) for the next 24 hours.

Let's subtract the component cost 10gp from our loot bank.

It takes 10 minutes to perform this ritual.

You can choose an different position on the map if you want, but none further than the line where bolerum is now.

Psiclone : He did reply to it, but he did not offer any concrete explanation (it was deliberate on his part.) I probabyls hould add that he poffered no other explanation after this on Magdebourg destruction.

Quote:
The angel shrug at the mention of Magdebourg faith,
"So it have been destroyed then, that is why I havent been summoned for such a long time."

So where do you plan to go/do next?

Ok, there seem to be some general consensus that you wont attack the Angel (at leat for now)... sorry Gillric .

The only other suggestion is Ace's (go explore the academy ruins - I assume you speak of the cavern here, since you've already checked all the rest of the place).

Monique supported this. I only need one more and I,ll move things that way (Bolerum or Ashe, you ok with this?)

Alternately, we use the portal to fetch a priest of Pelor, then drag him back into the dungeon in his nighties. But yeah, if that's not possible, we can explore the ruins.

Well that could be done, but you have to go back to Bord-Eau (or find a way to at least contact them to ship you one via the portal)

Do you have a precise idea on how you would do that? And do you want to push this idea to your allies or go along with Ace idea?

IC (and OOC, for that matter), I don't have anything more specific. Activating the portal may well be higher than our pay grade. If another PC has a ritual or such to communicate over long ranges, we may be able to do this. I mentioned this in OOC because Bol is slightly less smart than a bag of hammers (and about as subtle).

To open the portal, you need to have link portal (level 8).
So that rule this out.

Monique might have a ritual for messages, but I doubt it since it might have become handy in a few places before and she never used it. Beside, I just looked at the animal messanger ritual and it would not help here unless She can roll 40+ Nature (so it work for 24 hours, which is about the time a bird would take to get to Bord-Eau).

There might be other ritual possible, but I dont have access to the builder right now (just a PHB1)

Unless someone come up with some idea to support Bolerum I'll move you to the ruins/cavern exploration.

Also, I will be out of town yesterday afternoon and Friday.

I should have time to reply in the evening (from the hotel), but not during the day as usual.

When I turn level six, I will seek out and master the Sending ritual, and that will be cool, but until then, I just have Comprehend Languages, Glib Limmerick, and two books full of useless words; I haven't mastered any of the rituals we bought or found.

Anyone trained in Athletic (Climb) can easyly see what are the easyer path to take (easy DC = 10) to travel from place to place. These path are not straight, but they are quite safe for someone with skill. If you arent in danger (no pressure), I wont ask rolls as Bolerum (and possibly Ashe) auto-succeed the easy DC and will guide you and make sure you wont fall.
These easy path can lead you to any of cavern/floor/tower/ruin, except cavern 1, 9 and 10, which are high where the celling close up and require a medium or hard DC (22) to get to.

Of course, if combat arise, you will be on your own to roll your climb (Acrobatic). I'll represent the wall pathern with easy DC (10), Medium Dc (15) and possibly hard Dc if you are in a spot where there is (22).
