START RANT
I have to get this off my chest, and I know if I say it in the Board issues thead, Im going to get banned, so I have to say it here. I dont know about anyone else, but Debbie and myself have almost had it up to here with the non-performance of this board. We both have been doing a lot of posting today, and not once has a post from either of us gone through on the first try. NOT ONCE. And today is not any sort of exception, its almost the rule. Putting it simply, the server that runs this board sucks.
Just like Mr. Burlew, I rely on the internet to build my business. Unlike Mr. Burlew, I insist on my site being reliable. If mine worked anywhere nearly as poorly as his does, I'd be on a steady diet of peanut butter sandwiches and thrift store clothes. I do not understand how someone who makes all of his living from internet sales is willing to tolerate such an unreliable site. Yes, a good server is expensive. So is declaring bankruptcy. Thank you for listening.
END RANT

I haven't had quite that level of issue with posts not going through, only slightly more than with most forums I use. I mostly just can't get on at odd hours. Still, I understand the frustration from the times it has happened.

I must have just gotten very, very lucky, as I haven't experienced those problems at all. Then again, most of my posting is very far from 'peak' hours of traffic, so that likely helps.

Debbie, I don't want to go over 24 hours, and I'm on my phone. Can you please do this for me?
1) If I won't hit friendlies, then drop holy smite where I may (on me, back a little) to get the two she's facing.
2) Otherwise, throw Captain Arborea (her shield) at either of the fighters on the other side of the barrier. It is a ranged weapon, and is unimpeded by the blade barrier ... coming or going.

Can anyone use any of this immediately? Claim em IC if you want to use them now, and we'll figure out what to do with the rest once we get out of here. Sound all right with everyone?

Magic from the warriors:
4 sets full plate +5
4 shields +5
4 long swords +5
4 belts - strength +6
4 amulets - constitution +4, natural armour +5
Ohhhhh, yeahhhhh ....
Atareth could use a belt and an amulet.
Since she doesn't have a waist or throat slot used, I'm sure lost would ask one of each for Lildorrinene as well.
44 Strength, 30 Con .... RRRaaaaWWWrrrrr!

Im going to give a warning right now, this is going to be a fight unlike any I have thrown at you. Up until now, the fights have been very winnable unless you make huge tactical errors. This one is different.
Even if you do everything right, it could still go bad...and if you go lacksey daisy in it....

So in the interest of diligence in preparing for this match-up: Debbie, can you run down what enchantments there are on the door, and on any nearby surfaces?

There appear to be no enchantments on nearby surfaces. The levers on the door and the door itself bear an enchantment, and it is one that Dot is familiar with, although not in how it is made or how it might be bypassed in any other fashion. She is familiar with it, because she has seen it numerous times before....every holding spot in the Cup of the Gods tournament had the same sort of enchantment on it.

Toliudar, I nearly attempted to search for "plotium" in a 3.5 special materials index before I realized what it actually was. That gave me a good laugh- thanks!

Whew! My new computer finally arrived. All my files (D&D and otherwise) will be transferred over later this week, and finally I shall be able to game without concern once more... ...hopefully. Either way, it's nice not having to post updates to this game from a public computer.

Thing is, puzzles require a clue. All we know is that there's a 11 levers with 20 settings each. If I did the math right, that's 2.676192209 x 10^19 2.048 x 10^14 potential combinations, or 26,761,922,090,000,000,000 204,800,000,000,000 if that puts it in more perspective. Speaking as ever so minor a computer geek, this is why passwords make your computer fairly secure: it would take far too much time and effort to guess the correct combination of characters, even if you put a computer to work doing it for you. Same problem applies to our PCs here, they just don't have anything to go with at this stage.
Edit: Math fix, remembered the wrong formula.
