Having said that- I will be traveling next week, from Saturday 5/19 to 5/27. While I may be able to post during that time (possibly even multiple times), it's also possible that I won't have any opportunities at all.
It's my fault for not reminding you of this, since I mentioned it only on 5/14. Like I said, I might have an opportunity to post once or more before my trip is over (I was able to find an internet connection tonight). Either way the campaign is certain to resume by next Monday.

Ahh, okay I forgot, sorry about that.

I took a
Wand of Cure Serious Wounds (3d8+3 healing)
Wand of Magic Missile (5d4+5 dmg) for if I need to blast something
Wand of Invisibility
Wand of Keen Edge (Doubles a weapon's crit range for 30 mins)
Thoughts? I figured the utility would be good and a buff for the three melee people in the group would be welcome.

Ahh, Admiral, for future reference, when I ask about the wound/body it is connected to Speak With Dead spell (meaning if the body has mouth- it can talk)

Can you use a keen wand on a keen weapon? It would be most BAMF if my crit range was like anything ten and up.
Lexin, Dispel Magic on area effects has a 20-ft radius burst, so one spell can't get all of it at the same time. Where do you want to aim it? (The first one failed but the second one succeeded).
I thought that it just ends effects (and as Webs overlap it would be enough to target the common point). if it makes a hole in the spell instead , he would try to make it so he includes all the bodies in the area of dispel. if impossible to do so (cannot check the map from here) he would free the assassins body, and make a path as far inside the tavern as possible

About spell levels and IC:
Here's a guy giving each spell level an esoteric Latin name
Spoiler
Personally, I call spell slots "valences" and each spell level has a name, used in-character by wizards and all sorts of mystics. Name taken from the abaccus stones (called apices, singular apex) of Pope Sylvester II (a.k.a. Gerbert of Aurillac). The original names are sipos (0), igin (1), andras (2), ormis (3), arbas (4), quimas (5), calctis (6), zenis (7), temenias (8) and celentis (9). It seems the names originated from that latin poem:
ordine primigeno sibi nomen possidet igin
andras ecce locum previndicat ipse secundum
ormis post numerus non compositus sibi primus
denique bis binos succedens indicat arbas
significat quinos ficto de nomine quimas
sexta tenet calcis perfecto munere gaudens
zenis enim digne septeno fulget honore
octo beatificos temenias exprimit unus
terque notat trinum celentis nomine rithmum
hinc sequitur sipos est qui rota namque vocatur
It's unclear where the names themselves come, though some of them sounds semitic or arabic. Anyway, I found them to be perfectly arcane names for numbers -- perfect for naming spell levels in the background of my homebrew. I've twisted them a bit so that they would all end in -is (sepis, igis, andris, ormis, quamis, etc.) to make it look like there was a convention behind the names, and transvalent spells (epic spells, sometimes referred to as tenth-level spells) are simply Is -- raw magical potential.
Another explanation I've seen is describing them as valences like electrons orbiting a nucleus. The lower level shells must be filled in order to unlock the higher ones. He calls epic spell transvalent spells. "he had empties himself of all his highest valences, and was reduced to casting a few Quickened Magic Missiles"
I think the former is cooler, but the latter is more readable.

One day I'd like to DM a campaign that, like Order of the Stick, allows in-character discussion of levels, rolls, and character sheets. Does anyone know if this has been done on these boards?

I've seen a recruitment thread once... but didn't have time to join.

If the party just wants to wait for tomorrow for Morgunn to speak with dead with the dead assassin, just let me know and the party can do so. However, I think Mirus wanted to talk to some plants
Incidentally, I think someone should step up as a "leader"- every party needs someone who makes the plan and gets everyone going!
