WotW: Call forth Darkness OOC

[Morbis Meh]

My spells are identical expect I swapped Animate undead lesser with haste.

[Comissar]

Question, is the next chamber the one with the storm elementals we saw earlier?

Assuming of course that we know where we are in relation to said chamber.

[Morbis Meh]

Thattaman... *high five* WE DID IT!

[Maugan Ra]

And congratulations on saying the one thing that could have persuaded them to stop - namely, that you're here to restore Vetra-Kali. Everyone gains 1,600xp for 'defeating' them in such a way, and now you have a pair of Greater Ceusetodaemons as allies for the duration of your mission.

And yes, the next chamber at the stop should be the one with the statue of Vetra-Kali, the Seal and the storm elemental.

[Comissar]

I'm thinking I might try and pull off a similair trick with the storm elementals, what with speaking the same language, being a creature of air and all. I'd prefer not to fight things that are more than likely highly resistant to lightning with lightning. We can always get the golem components elsewhere (I take it we couldn't use some of Quint's blood for the reagent of lightning? (emphasis on some) )

[Maugan Ra]

That... is a very interesting idea. Hmm. You'd still need some of the storm elemental's blood to serve as the reagent of lightning, but if combined with the blood of a Slyph, it is possible that you could use non-harmful amounts of both.

Would require remarkably persuasive Roleplaying, though.

I've already got an idea in mind, will be so damn awesome if I pull this off.

[Morbis Meh]

Hey Schtein could always bluff them into donating blood for the semi annual air elemental blood drive, right now Type Storm elemental is in high demand and I am sure they would jump at the chance to save a life; remember, blood: it's in you to give

I have to admit, if that campaign were presented by the grisly visage of the semi-undead I would definitely be more motivated to do so

Oh, also, 10 doses = 10 vials? Or is a dose less than a vials worth? If we were to mix the blood, would it be 50/50 his/Quint's or would less of the elementals be needed because Quint's is basically the same?

[Comissar]

I've only got about 5 minutes left before I'll need to leave the library I'm in, I've sent the plan along with my IC post to Maugan via. PM. I'm unlikely to be posting again now until after my fieldtrip (tomorrow will be my only oppertunity and I'm expecting to be tied up all day tomorrow), which ends on the 13th (I'm not certain if I will be posting on the 13th or not, so I think assume my next check in will be on the 14th).

[Maugan Ra]

Well, unfortunately, Quint seems under the impression that the Storm Elemental was bound here as a guardian. It wasn't. It actually formed here naturally...

Then again, I might change that, considering Commissar is going to be gone for some time and it is a rather important thing that's going on up there. Hmm. Will consider it.

Anyway, the rest of you... Hexor and Vexor are curious things, and there's more than just this landing on the third level to explore. So hey, a few things to get on with. Including coming up with a plan to actually destroy the Seal.

[Razorstorm]

Man, I'm suddenly wishing Victor knew anything about the Planes so he could have enlightening conversations with these chaps!

[Thattaman]

A pair of elf-eating intelligent Daemons. I think we'll get along famously.

[Maugan Ra]

Be fair. They eat just about anything. They were going to eat you lot before you stopped them.

But yes. The thrones on the first and second floors, with 'Yah' and 'Rah' inscribed on them respectively, are teleporters. Sit on them, intone the code word, and you and anything on the Dias get transported to another floor.

And there's apparently a High Priest still around... Though the cult was destroyed eighty years ago, with all it's members slain.

[Thattaman]

But they ate an elf. And Kydrak's done that in the past, so he likes them a lot.

[Comissar]

Managed to find a bit of internet time, this really will be my last chance though. Reply coming up shortly, and I had indeed assumed it was bound there.

[Thattaman]

How are you guys doing this Auran thing? Do you use a website that translates? I assume you haven't just learnt as a normal language.

[Comissar]

The message I sent to Maugan had the Auran pre-translated, so it's just me doing it. All I'm going to tell you is that I'm using a real language to represent Auran. If you work it out, you win a cookie.

[Thattaman]

It's Irish. Living near the country has some bonuses.

[Comissar]

... *Grudgingly gives the cookie over*

That was far less intrigue and mystery than I'd first hoped for.

[Thattaman]

I'm cathcing up with my cookies, Morbis. Soon I'll have as many as you.

[Maugan Ra]

...bollocks, I was about to guess that. Well, I was going to say Celtic specifically. Ah well.

[Comissar]

Either way, I think so long as you provide the translation, actually using a different language for different languages is a cool thing to do. Doesn't work nearly as well in a real life game unfortunately. The lack of google translate really slows things down.

[Thattaman]

I was going to say gaelic but that covers multiple languages including irish.

[Comissar]

Originally I tried to find Gaelic/Celtic (I think it was gaelic) but I struggled to find a decent site for the translation so I went with Irish instead. Also, dealing with the elemental would have been a lot easier if it actually were a guardian. Trying to persuade it to not remain near the artifact when that's the only reason it's here is a little tricky.

[Maugan Ra]

And... There you go. Victory, of a sort. Quint gains all the xp, which should end up balancing out later for the stuff he'll miss while Comissar is on this field trip thing.

[Comissar]

Talk about a tough debate, that xp just tips me over onto level 6 now as well so that's pretty cool. With regards to levelling up, when do you want me to apply it?

I'm going to assume you'll want me to roll hp for it too

(1d6+2)[3] (+1 from con, +1 for favoured class, I bet I end up with 3 more hp)

Edit - I worked on the assumption that you'd want me to apply the level up sooner rather than later. If you need to backtrack me to level 5 then knock off the stat gains, drop knowledge arcana and spellcraft to rank 5, drop fly and appraise to rank 0 and lose Major Image and Fly from the spells list.

Final Edit - And with that, I must leave you. I should be back on the 14th by the latest, have a good fortnight or so!

[Razorstorm]

Dude, Comissar, well done! *high five*

@Thattaman- wait, are you in England?

[Morbis Meh]

@Thattaman: Cookies are for sharing so the more everyone has the happier the world will be!

@Comissar: Well I missed the entire event... if I would have guessed it would have Newfie speak with is gaelic english spoken on speed.

@Razor: Yes, his location says leads, england

[Thattaman]

Yes, it's my country of origin, birth and where I've lived all my life. And before you ask I did not go to see the olympics.
