Yes, its a gnomish wondrous item. The Tongue of Many Insults. Various activated abilities: Tirade of Tyrrany, Litany of Ludicrosity, Sermon of Slander, Monotone of Melancholy.
Apparently there is no spell resistance, or normal resistance against it.
:P
I understand that haste+run can overcome it after a minute or two. Holding one's ears also helps to mitigate the damage.
That's why they make silence spells.
There is only one answer for silence spells. Sign language, and the ability to flip people off in multiple languages.
See Vardan, the problem is that there is a secret weapon for that. The Bracers of Indignance.
They confer the ultimate gnomish ability: The Pantomime of Painful Observance.
Don't forget the gnomish Castigating Charade, either.
Hey, Drakra would take offense these comments and look down on you with great ire - if Drakra were five feet taller. Fortunately for you all, he is currently hiding behind a rock and trying to figure out what to tell the rest of the party about the traitor's guards that will allow him to convince the big folk to charge forward without Drakra being in any manner endangered.
Thanks for the invite.
I will level up to 2. Such a sociable person, I am sure Fomiel would be quickly popular with mongrelmen. Maybe even be their shaman.
Looking at aliases, appears hp are not hd/2+1 -- so I roll for level 2 hp?
Fomiel is my try at a nontraditional sorcerer. Strength focused, he should dish out damage with his claws when needed. With a 14 Int he has learned social skills. Plan is to pick diplomacy mostly, Bluff and intimidate to a lesser extent.
So when do we start up again :)
I've been giving the option on hit points, of either taking the average, as you would do in a PFS game, or rolling for hit points, and accepting the fickle fate of the dice.
So far, everyone's been fairly lucky with the dice rolls, Fomiel. Care to test your luck? ;)
We'll start up as soon as our new players have made character adjustments, and/or Monday, whichever comes first. I've PM'd all the new characters/players, and both Fomiel and Valnar have responded already, so we could be on our way by tomorrow.
Thank you for the invite! Working on creating a profile, expanding the character a little now. Fair warning though. I was (this week) and will be (for the next three weeks) at a training seminar for work out of town. There is internet at the hotel, but its a bit shoddy and doesn't work every night. So far I've only had one day of trouble but..just a head's up.
Weekends there's no problems.
Sidonia is complete!
I'll try my luck at hit points:
I like the idea of Fomiel, Sidonia and Vardan teaming up separately as survivors. Possibly they've been captured by the Mongrelmen and are in the lair somewhere?
Good intentions, I believe.
Ok, so, I've downgraded to a set of max starting gold gear (if it needs to be average, just need to downgrade the breastplate to splint and the longbow to a shortbow).
I'm almost totally ready to roll -- all that's left is to drop Thorne to his L2 self (and then update my stat lines).
Ok, think that's good.
Downgraded to splint after all (forgot about Thorne's barding)
The idea of them being together works for me also. I don't see them as being captives of the Mongrelmen of Neatholm, but more of "guarded guests" Whilch would explain why you weren't brought to the group right away.
Everybody good to go? :)
Think so?
Nope, not ready. I think we should all hide until this blows over. Let the real heroes champion the cause, so that I avoid getting hurt.
As soon as I get Fomiel's updated character, we are ready to roll. Fomiel as I said earlier, it's either the avg +1 or you try your luck with a roll for HP.
Hello! Mongrelmen are getting tired of just standing around. :)
I'll give till the end of the afternoon, and if I hear nothing, then we'll forge ahead.
Hmmm, are we waiting for Chainmail? He has been posting in other campaigns. Surprised he has not posted here as he has been very consistent in other games, as Vardan/Tilnar will confirm.
I will shoot him a PM, otherwise, lets keep moving forward and he can join in when he finished his character.
I am here, sorry. I take the average hp, and will be ready in minutes.
Yessssss....I think those three will fit in nicely. *taps steepled fingers together*
Bot Drakra if necessary this weekend, I taking my son to OGC con. Drakra will generally be a chicken, but try to be helpful.
ON another note, weekends through the end of July are going to be slow for me. I'm a baseball coach, and after 6 rainouts to begin our season, we now have doubleheaders on most weekends, which take pretty much the whole day, where I'll be away from any kind of technology.
It is really easy. Get one of your players to hit a home run, and get your pitchers to force the other side into first pitch groundouts on every swing. That should cut the game time dramatically.
If I could bottle that and sell it, I'd be a gazillionaire! ;)
Internet was down here. Please not if needed. Will post later today after work
Are we waiting on anything? Maybe more Perception checks?
Hopefully the scent will pick up something.
Sorry if I'm spotty over the next few days. I was treated for chest pains, which thankfully turned out not to be any kind of heart attack, but still recovering, and just plain exhausted.
Take it easy and focus on getting well Shathira!
Get well soon, Shathira.
Definitely get better. Most of us will all be here when you return, although Drakra us not quite sure about a couple of people in the party, some of them look pretty shifty and untrustworthy.
Drakra checks his pouch to make sure none of the supposed paladins didn't wander off with his lunch.
Munches on gnomish sandwich, grimacing a little before handing it back to Drakra.
You know, I had planned to confiscate this to strengthen the bodies of the Faithful, but whatever do you people eat?
Shath, get better. Can't have you keeling over yet, we aren't yet mythic! :P
I think we should go ahead with north.
Have we lost people? Things have started to move really slow with this campaign.
I hope not. Decision making seems to slow things down in Pbp though. Hope things can get moving again soon.
I thought we were just waiting on being moved? Sorry for not speaking up earlier! Sodonia is following Godwin s lead on which direction were moving on next. She hasn't had any opinion this far in it.
I've also been a bit bogged down by fighting a viral infection, which I seem to be getting over finally, so I haven't been able to push much either. Still waiting on some blood tests, but everything else is either subsiding or gone. No more fever or aches. Still get the sweats, but that's lessening too. So I'll push and get more regular with posting again.
Sounds good. I was just waiting for things to push forward. Didn't feel like I was adding anything to the discussion, so I didn't want to put up any extra posts to bog us down.
That said, Paladin lady on point and lets go!
Glad to hear you're feeling better GM.
Please try to keep you tokens moved around on the map. I've laid out a grid of sorts so if you are not able to, just give me the coordinates so I can move the token (or someone else can). Otherwise, I'm going to consider your location on the map to be where the token is. For the most part, I know that Godwin and Selindra like to be in the front, beyond that, I have no idea.
Please put me right behind Godwin at all times. Bad guys may think we are enemies and leave me alone :-)
Have we lost anyone else? Posting seems to be getting really slow, which makes it very difficult for me to remember exactly what my character's personality is. I was looking and in the past 10 days, we only have 16 IC posts. Even if the DM is not posting, we should be interacting as a group. I know that Drakra has been a little quiet, but with only 16 posts (5 from Godwin and 4 from the DM), this is not looking good for the long term right now.
