Just to clarify, we've looted everything that wasn't destroyed by the fire, right? There's nothing else in here of interest?
Also, is it just us, or is the guy that spoke up an NPC?

Remember Yarin is a Large creature so, 20ft is still pretty tight! :p
Yarin would not speak to the party however he would telepathically tell Johnny that he has spotted light up ahead and where...
He would probably also use diplomacy to convince Johnny to pretend that he has spotted something up ahead using the.
"You can show them how observant you are Johnny, you
There is something ahead Johhny, its hiding behind those stalegmites around the next courner...
Warn those ahead of us when we round the courner...
You can see round cou....
Shhh!!!!
Tell them you have spotted something on the ceiling above us, but do not tell them I have told you there is definately something there.
As they round the next courner Johnny warns the party.
Err... Guys I think I spotted something on the ceiling ahead of us...
Its behind the stalegmites...
Wow all but one missed! :(
Oh well, atleast the sickening should help us... that -2 on all damage rolls and attack rolls should really piss off the thing as it has so many attacks!
Fatigue makes me wax philosophic and/or babble. If I've posted something strange and tangential, that is probably the cause. This entry would be an example.
I will laugh if this lion kills us all because none of us wanted to overplay our hands and deploy the intelligent items too quickly. Good to see that Yarin stepped in :)

Yarin stepped in because he wanted the corpse of the Lion, and he needs atleast one of you alive to buy him some onyx for reviving stuff...
He has DR 5/ada and 100+ hp, he should probably smash the lion to pieces eventually.
Also he sorta wants the party to see him as useful, so they dont try lynch him later when he makes an army of the dead! :D
Btw, any reservations about me raising your meat puppet as a zombie radmelon, or would you rather I try revive him for real?
I just realised I am sorta the main party healer, even though I am the necromancer! xD
Not to backseat drive, but you probably shoulda stepped in first. I figured you were hanging back because you wanted to keep your powers under wraps or something.

Well, if we do get a TPK of the cohorts, well, that's why Dragons keep kobolds around.
And you did have warning... I called for the Knowledge(Nature) check, I did the gibbing of the expendable NPC (graphically!), and warned people to not get too attached to their initial cohorts....

Awwww I dont think he is complaining! :P
I just think he is sad that it was his charicter that got reduced to mush first! :P
Indeed, we did not hinder your advice oh GM...
I was being very careful with Johhny as the non-lethal damage he took was 1/4 of his entire HP and it was only 4! xD So I have been looking after a rather "unhealthy looking" Johnny.
Not to backseat drive, but you probably shoulda stepped in first. I figured you were hanging back because you wanted to keep your powers under wraps or something.
He was at the back of the party and has a HORRIBLE initiative, also he is sorta pretending to be commanded by Johnny so to wade in guns blazing would have been abit OORP! :P
PS - Air High Five to you for the Debuff! :)
Also, what do you think for Yarin attempting to hide from your Psi Crystal detecting his "concience"? I dont really know what to do with it because I would like Yarin to attempt to stay hidden aslong as possible but at the same time I want him to be discovered! So what are your thoughts, I am not sure about my will save approach, it was just a quick fix before we could discuss it further. (I asked for this OORP thread so we could discuss it actually!)

Psymple, all the psicrystal can do is telepathically talk to "any creature with a language". It doesn't have life sense or any innate ability to sense minds that could communicate with it, or anything. It's gauging whether or not Yarin is sentient pretty much by just talking at it to see if it responds or reacts; the fact that Yarin didn't react has probably convinced it that Yarin isn't sentient.
Edit: Which is to say I think you're good :) I'm not sure how you'd go about detecting an intelligent item, really. Constructs don't register as alive, I think constructs are immune to anything mind-affecting...

Also, Jack, what I was saying is that if we'd all just gone nova on this thing, we'd probably be okay. But none of us wanted to use our items, or our items didn't want to be revealed, and so our under-equipped cohorts are pretty much on their own for a fight that our items could easily win. I don't think you're being too harsh, or anything :) I like Irwin, but I recognize that our items are the main characters here...

Well as soon as he starts casting spells you will instantly know its not a simple "construct"...
Also even if I dont start casting spells I imagine you will all start wondering why Johnny has become clever, and able to detect all living things with ease...
Not to mention why he has a huge golem following him around, that he constantly talks to but it never responds to him...
Oh and that he will start collecting corpses... xD
----
LIES!!!
Johnny is my main charicter!
He is a real Knight! :P
Hahaha, we might cotton on eventually. I think it'd also be funny if we suddenly start praising Johnny for becoming so alert and such.
Although that guy messes with my head. In real life, everyone calls me Johnny, and I'm sort of spacey and clumsy, too, so when I read your creepy golem being all "I can help you, Johnny, stop being such a vacuous screwup, Johnny", it's kind of strange.
radmelon: Is Inirak the kind of person who makes his inventory common knowledge to his party? Are we aware he has healing potions and such?
Jack: Same question regarding our obnoxious, half-chewed leader. Do we know what gear he had, even if it's just "I have a healing potion on the flask on the left side of my belt, pour it down my gullet if I ever go down"?

Tell you what: Once we're in a position to loot the dead, I'll refluff his equipment as a CR 5 treasure roll from the beast.

I could render it unconscious with four or so more manifestations of Ego Whip, but regardless of how much we could sell a live dire lion for, we have enough problems without trying to drag a 3500lb man-eating cat out with us :P
Ceres hasn't got over herself enough to intervene yet. If it's not too presumptuous, I'll post my next attack. And speak to encourage Johnny to act this round, before it's undazed.

To be fair seeing that the Creature is on the floor Johnny will ready be leading the charge as soon as it is his initiative! :D
Although he is still rather tired! xD
Yarin obveously will be laying down some more smackdown on the Lion, also you might all be a little bit creeped out by the fact the Golem is using a bite attack...
(golems dont normally have bite attacks, and its a huge scary maw of teeth that he is using to bite with...)
I think it is your turn, we're just waiting on actionsfrom "Johnny, Ceres, and Bull" for this round, and Ceres is passing.

I picked up your glove now, Radmelon. If it chooses to pipe up, Irwin will honor the glove's wishes about who it wishes to be wielded by, if it doesn't want Irwin to use it; if you don't trust him for some reason, feel free to try to hit him with Charm or Suggestion :)

Oh, and question. Could the gloves use their action to control Irwin's hands independent of his own action? Like, could the gloves fire an Eldritch Blast in the same round that Irwin manifested a psionic power, or did something else that didn't require use of his hand?

Yes, but that kind of thing is very distracting. Irwin would need to make a "Vigorous motion" Concentration check to avoid losing the power (DC 10 + Power level).
