Okay, I will allow it, because it affects few spells and shouldn't make too much difference.

[samduke]

using the following for the domain spells expended - A spellcaster always has the option to fill a higher-level spell slot with a lower-level spell. -

5:Spell Resistance :26 min <this will be cast once we have seen and are ready to enter combat with the royal beast>

Thanks for the spell loadout, Sam.

I will progress things IC as soon as someone posts there that you are ready to progress.

[Athaleon]

Apologies, I haven't had a spare hour to put a post together with buffs and greater teleport in the last few days, but I'll try to get something out tomorrow.

[paradox26]

No worries, mate. I just wanted to prompt people to make sure the game doesn't fizzle out.

[DrK]

Apologies I was travelling. I've seen the party buffs from Ivory which are handy. Aside from that Kurnos is ready

[paradox26]

No need to apologise. I just didn't want the game to die, hence the prompt. Post whenever you are settled.

[samduke]

Okay lets get all the party buff info into 1 spot >> Just add your party buff information to this list

Bless:
Each ally gains a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and on saving throws against fear effects.

Haste:
When making a full attack action, a hasted creature may make one extra attack with any weapon he is holding. The attack is made using the creature's full base attack bonus, plus any modifiers appropriate to the situation. hasted creature gains a +1 bonus <untyped> on attack rolls and a +1 dodge bonus to AC and +1 <untyped> Reflex saves. Any condition that makes you lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class (if any) also makes you lose dodge bonuses. hasted creature's modes of movement (including land movement, burrow, climb, fly, and swim) increase by 30 feet, to a maximum of twice the subject's normal speed using that form of movement. This increase counts as an enhancement bonus, and it affects the creature's jumping distance as normal for increased speed

Heroes' Feast:
Every creature partaking of the feast is cured of all diseases, sickness, and nausea; becomes immune to poison for 12 hours; and gains 1d8 temporary hit points +1 point per two caster levels (maximum +10 <<10>>) after imbibing the nectar-like beverage that is part of the feast. The ambrosial food that is consumed grants each creature that partakes a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and Will saves and immunity to fear effects for 12 hours.

Mass Adept Spirit:
+1 insight bonus to caster level and a +2 insight bonus on Will saves, Concentration checks, Intelligence checks, and Intelligence-based skill checks.


**
I put these for 2 members (you know who you are) so its not a true party buff
Mighty Wallop, Greater
Magic Vestment

[namo]

By the way, I'm not sure how you Persist Haste? It's not fixed-range. But no big deal.

We'll need a Miracle or Wish to keep it down (paradox told us to read the MM entry, so I did!)


PARTY BUFFS
Admiral's Bicorne:
+2 morale to attack, saves, skills as long as you can hear Yedra
(this supersedes Bless and the morale bonuses from Feast)

Haste:
1 extra attack when full-attacking
+1 dodge to AC
+1 to attack, Reflex
+30ft enhancement to all speeds

Heroes' Feast:
immune to poison and fear for 12 hours
(1d8+10)[14] temporary HP

Mass Adept Spirit (1 min once activated as an immediate action):
+1 insight bonus to caster level
+2 insight bonus on Will saves, Concentration checks, Intelligence checks, and Intelligence-based skill checks.

oh Reach spell.. ehh does not grab that one- sigh - okay its 2x rounds for extend and not persisted

I adjusted the above: to reflect this
Haste :8 min >> PARTY BUFF <this will be cast once we have seen and are ready to enter combat with the royal beast>

Ivory has Wish on Tap as a level 9 domain spell


dont forget bless in your stuff namo

[namo]

+2 morale to attack, saves, skills as long as you can hear Yedra
(this supersedes Bless and the morale bonuses from Feast)

I did not.
Some bonuses are bound to overlap at this level.

[DrK]

I had appreciated the mighty wallop!

Kurnos has on long term party wide buffs and I'll just wait and se what happens efore I cast any of my usual buffs. If we end up some hours from any trouble even my 10 min/level bufs are just 210 mins so I'll hold off.
If we end up straight into troule I'll just default to a gargantuan wild shape

[samduke]

@GM I need to know if the substance of this spell might apply .. the underlined portion

Would Ivory have seen a Tarasque ever ?

Discern Location

A discern location spell is among the most powerful means of locating creatures or objects. Nothing short of a mind blank spell or the direct intervention of a deity keeps you from learning the exact location of a single individual or object.

Discern location circumvents normal means of protection from scrying or location.

To find a creature with the spell, you must have seen the creature or have some item that once belonged to it. To find an object, you must have touched it at least once.

I will rule that as it is a unique creature, and as it is normally asleep for long periods, no you would never have seen it before. Nor would you have an item thast belonged to it.

that is fine and why I went with discern location over that spell originally

fortunately once we are in the village we should be able to cover a great deal of ground fast

[paradox26]

Going via the village also means you can gather information from the villagers.

well keep waiting for folks to post IC, like teleport ect..

@GM can we act like it happened and get things moving before to long ?

[DrK]

All Kurnos had to do was get his bear and then he was all set

[paradox26]

Okay, we have waited long enough. I will progress the game.

[samduke]

Gather Information (1d20+8)[27]
