Temple of Elemental Evil (Inactive)

Game Master Thomi Gallowshade

Can we have a new map maybe, please? I am not sure as to where we should be going now?

So you guys want the two of us us to move ahead or help you bagging the guards?

Sorry for the delay - I'm here but travelling, posting from phone, will be with proper internet in about 12 hours from now.

Leaving Eric the cleaving square.

I will be on travel Tuesday and Wednesday, so will be difficult to update the postings until Thursday evening.

Those of us blessed I assume the doom nullifies the bless and leaves us with the inspire courage bonus alone.

Nice Carp!!!

According to the map, I am half in- half out, so what gives? Can I see or not?

You can see anything not covered by the darkness.

If I shoot a bolt or cast a spell, do I risk hitting any teammates? Can I even do that?

To do either is a ranged attack, and in this case it would be into total concealment. So, yes, not only do you not have a visible target, you would be firing into the darkness at ... who knows what?

@Carp - Velcore casted Silence on the area. So it is completely dark with no sounds at all. have fun.

Guys sorry for no posts during the last 4 days. My company decided to send me in the field, and in Nigeria internet is not really available in the rural areas. Just got home, tired as hell. Will go to the office in the morning and start regular posting then (10-12 hours from now). Cheers.

We seem to be slowing down after such a great pace. Hope it isn't because of the sensory deprivation area ( no light or sound).

If you want to delay, I think you can post a filler post about stumbling in the dark.

Thanks Story Master for bearing with us.

No problem. The darkness is a serious complication of this encounter, and presents a major dilemma to overcome.

Unless you are a company of 13 dwarves with darkvision and a single hobbit.

I am still here just waiting for my turn.

I think if one of us cast darkness, it would last about 30 rounds. So it is here for a while. Here is where you need a dwarf.

Sorry guys, I am in the field for business, no net here (Nigeria), returning to Lagos (Internet acces) on Friday, will resume posting then.

So I got sick.

The first sign you’re in trouble is when you visit the doctor’s office and the last thing they say to you before you leave is “We’ve called the hospital and they’re expecting you”.

The second sign is when the doctors at the first hospital transfer you to the second hospital because the specialist they would normally have you see has gone home for the day and they say “We don’t think waiting until he gets back in the morning is a good idea.”

The third sign comes when you realize that it hasn’t even been 24 hours since you visited you doctor’s office and they’re taking you into surgery.

The panic sets in after the surgery. Strangely enough it is when they say “You’re so lucky you went to the doctor when you did. We caught this early enough you’ll get to keep your leg” you realize that it could have killed you.

The funny thing is I didn’t go to the doctor because of the fever or the pain in my ankle, in fact I almost didn’t mention it. It was just my regularly scheduled visit because of my high blood pressure, but my doctor saw me limping, and he dragged the whole story out of me. How everybody got a cold and then got better, except for me. How whenever I stopped taking ibuprofen the fever came back. How I had twisted my ankle the week before. Turns out everyone else in my family probably had just a cold. I didn’t.

An antibiotic resistant bacterial infection was lurking in my system but it wasn’t strong enough to effect my mostly healthy organs. Then, I hurt my ankle and it attacked, setting up shop in my bone and started pumping out all sorts of nasty stuff into the rest of my body. The surgeons went in and cut it out. I spent about a week in the hospital and have at least a month or so of recovery ahead of me. I’ve managed to avoid the at home IV antibiotics, by taking massive doses in pill form of a powerful antibiotic that doctors weren’t sure would even work, but it did.

I’ve been at home for a few days now and I can’t say for sure when I’ll be up to posting regularly. I’ve been feeling guilty about not posting but I haven’t been feeling up to trying to post a coherent message from my tablet either. I’ve finally grabbed my daughter’s laptop and typed this up. I’m just not sure how long it’s going to be before I get back into the swing of things.

If I’m a player in your game I’m sorry. If it makes sense please run my pc as it makes sense. For those of you who I’m the game master … well it’s going to be a few more days.

So I got sick.

I’ve been at home for a few days now and I can’t say for sure when I’ll be up to...

I am glad to hear you are on the mend, and we will welcome you back when you have recovered. Take care of yourself, and get well - we'll run your character in your absence.

Get Well Soon!

There is one more room to explore, and then this section of the adventure will be completed. Let's get to that point, and then assess a review of the party members' involvement.

Onward!
Carp, like a ninja, sneaks over to the next room seeking things to rage upon.
Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Correct me if I'm wrong, are you allowing the 1/2 +1 rule for HP?

Not certain what rule you are referring to. Should use standard procedure:

HP: 1d12 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Haha!

I am not seeing anything on the loot list that would really be that helpful unless one of you has any suggestions?

Bryce and Velcore dropped? I knew they hadn't posted much recently but wasn't sure if they were just on a slump.

I'm in it for the gold.

Just to recap, recent Gameplay post was only sold items amount.
Here is per person total GP:

Rafael 2,825
Trane 2,823
Kalizama 2,823
Garm 2,823
Carp 2,448

Items not sold or held by former PC's:
Cloak of Elvenkind
Control Undead Scroll
Endure Elements Scroll
Glitterdust Scroll
Color spray Scroll
Wand - CLW
Potion - CLW
Potion of Evil Protection

Thanks for the recap on the GP per person, Carp!

If the above items are for distribution among the current PC's, I would like to have three of the scrolls: 1 - Control Undead
2 - Endure Elements
3 - Glitterdust

If no one else wants the Wand of CLW I would like that also. Do you know how many charges it has on it?

Thanks!

I will take the elven cloak as I have some stealth.

Kalizama, I believe Trane and I can both use the wand of cure light without the need for a UMD check if that makes any difference.

OK, Garm, one of you can have the Wand of CLW. I was just offering to take it if no one else wanted it.

@ DM: Are you sure he gets a will save to disbelieve it? Perhaps I was reading the "if interacted with" too literally but wouldn't he have to touch it or shoot it before the save?

You are correct. I misinterpreted the description of the spell. I will have the opposition behave appropriately to reveal themselves.

That's all well and good, but what about my diplomacy attempt? I even rolled a 19.

It was good enough to change the gnolls from Hostile to Unfriendly. But, then a knight charged them, and Carp drew his weapon, so that sort of sealed their fate.

You know, I'm tired of consistently trying to do an RP post and use diplomacy and never works. I will stick to action posts from now on. I wasted skill points on diplomacy, but can't do anything now...
