BOB and I have a practice/test devil for you to fight just to experiment with
Zayden: No worries
BOB basing it on the idea of Fives and other research and using a gnomish illusionist to create the creature to fight

BOB TMO and Carissa can guide you Sharif to make sure you load it properly on your side of things
BOB You can load most of the books so you can have access to them when you want
Shislif (Zayden): I think I loaded the book I just haven't used it
BOB Good and Bad
BOB Did you find everything ok Carissa?
BOB and TMO is still checking and loading things
BOB Lisa, TMO had a dagger that Ilero has that is unknown/not identified
TMO (Shurkural Sauscha): oh, I'll be very busy for a while. :)
BOB Not sure if he figured out what story arc that came from
TMO (Shurkural Sauscha): haven't looked yet. let me see if I can find it
BOB I promise that it will not go to waste TMO
Shurkural Sauscha: the phrase 'mystery dagger" first shows up on (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.20190823c">(LINK)</a>
Carissa: Oops sorry was writing an email. Find what?

Lorie: Hey Michael
Zayden: Hi Lemon and Michael
Shislif (Zayden): OOC
TMO (Shurkural Sauscha): hi
Lisa: Hi Michael :)
BOB Lorie I did see your posts, thank you for that
BOB I cannot answer the total number of vials of Holy Water until we know how many weeks you spend doing that
Carissa: Hi Michael!
Carissa: Not sure you saw my Discord question, Bob, but is it possible to make potions of healing (not health)?
Michael (Talwin): I'll tell you what. I have never had that much trouble getting into FG. It's like it completely forgot who I was and had to completely update and then input my credentials all over again.
Michael (Talwin): Sigh
Michael (Talwin): I am here now though
Michael (Talwin): Hi everyone! :)
BOB Yes and No to Carissa, Potions of Healing count as creating a Magic Item
BOB so Yes you can create them, just takes that ammount of work
BOB and Michael, that is possibly that the updates make that happen
BOB But it should work now for you
Michael (Talwin): Then I apologize, I was behind schedule then lol. I should have started later :)
BOB LOL
Michael (Talwin): Additionally, is there a way to Mute FG?
BOB Mute what?
Michael (Talwin): NM I'm a dumbass
BOB LOL
Michael (Talwin): Found the "Options" menu
Carissa: Ok
BOB grins
Michael (Talwin): lol
Michael (Talwin): Ignore me. Apparantly I'm insane today
BOB Only today?
BOB :P
Michael (Talwin): Well....
Michael (Talwin): I was doing better...
Michael (Talwin): :D
BOB He'll be dead by noon
Michael (Talwin): HAH
BOB Can't you just take him now?
Michael (Talwin): I'm a sucker for MP references
Michael (Talwin): I FEEL HAPPY!
BOB By the way Michael, did you get your package?
BOB wink wink nudge nudge
Michael (Talwin): I did not. I have been religiously checking the mail
Michael (Talwin): When did you send?
BOB grrr
BOB Carissa and Lisa got theirs and was sent the same day
Michael (Talwin): There is no way the Post office could screw up a P.O. Box
Michael (Talwin): Even for them
BOB HAH
Lisa: did you get a tracking number?
BOB maybe?
Michael (Talwin): I'll check again tomorrow, but I was prepared!
Michael (Talwin): This town only has lik 200 people
BOB I did screw up Lisa's some how so
Michael (Talwin): Well I'll keep on the lookout. The bills made it to me, why couldn't those have been waylaid?
Lisa: but it was UPS and so there was a tracking number and I have a login to them to fix the unit #
Lisa: lol Michael
Michael (Talwin): And I open fire (not really, I'm not that depraved) on FedEx whenever they are near me, so don't send through them
BOB Well it was the last one that I have
Lisa: Bob if you have a receipt you should check if there is a tracking number
Michael (Talwin): Well we'll get through it. Meanwhile I did purchase my own Vanilla scented 20 sided die. It smells a little cocounut, so I'm just pretending they did a mix and match.
BOB So I hope it makes it to you eventually
Michael (Talwin): HUGS
BOB and fun Michael
Michael (Talwin): Its always the thought that Counts :)
Lorie: (Vanilla scented - smells like coconut - huh? )
Michael (Talwin): I mean, not before this one
Michael (Talwin): But it's nice, so I'm not complaining lol
BOB Also Lemon and Lorie responded to the Anniversary Game thread on Discord
Michael (Talwin): I had those dates booked last year I thinkz
Michael (Talwin): I will be there short of a national emergency or heartattack midflight
BOB The D20 candle I sent was more cinnamon
Michael (Talwin): Oooh. I love cinnamon
BOB There are AED machines on airplanes
Michael (Talwin): AED's only work if there is a beat
BOB The one that I sent you two years ago?
BOB the D20 candle?
Michael (Talwin): As I recal yes
BOB How many years?
Michael (Talwin): Oh man....
BOB Fabled Flame is the name of the company
Michael (Talwin): asking me to recall time is a dangerous gamble
BOB she does a lot of different things now
Carissa: More than 2 years
Michael (Talwin): That reminds me I need to look at FF.
TMO (Shurkural Sauscha): brb - drink time
Michael (Talwin): Sigh. I never get tot do the things I want to do lol
BOB I am here also to answer questions that you have for your venture into Hell
Lorie: (Oh the lilac candle they have is gorgeous...)
Michael (Talwin): Maybe I'll just move into your place bob. It's nice and peaceful
Shislif (Zayden): should we bring a jacket?
BOB grins
Michael (Talwin): Oh Crap! Speaking of lodging, I DO need to know a nearby hotel. I've already forgotten what is nearby.
Michael (Talwin): We can chat in Discord on that one
Lorie: (Depends on which ring you land in Sharif)
BOB I will make sure of that also with Mario
Lisa: Mario's Marriott
Shislif (Zayden): ah
Michael (Talwin): Was that were we stayed at Lisa? Marriott? I think we actually were at same place, but don't quite remember. Like I said, memory is getting fuzzy. I do remember wonderful crispy potatoes...
Zayden: THe primary inhabitants of Hell are the Baatezu
Shislif (Zayden): OOC
BOB Baatezu = Devils
Lisa: I think we were at the Holiday Inn and the Marriott was under construction? Or Mario wouldn't give us a discount :)
Carissa: I think we were at a Hilton that time because I used my Hilton Points...?
Carissa: I thought... but I did use hotel points
Lisa: Oh Hilton maybe
Lisa: had an H :)
Carissa: lol halfway there!
BOB I will check with Mario to make sure there are two hotels in that area, and for those who have not been here before, it is only a mile+ from the house
Michael (Talwin): Sigh. Discord LOL! :) We'll figure it out. I do have a ton of points at different hotels now, might as well use the darn things.
Michael (Talwin): How far are you from Disney? Maybe i'll rent a car so after we are done partying at your place I'll drive over to Orlando
BOB 4+ hours to Disney
Michael (Talwin): Welp, still better then a short flight. By the time all is said and done the time is about the same
Lorie: (Coral Springs has some theme park residents... but not close to Disney LOL )
BOB 4 or less, for me, just over 4 for you
BOB and by then there will be a high speed rail that is supposed to be about $100 one way
Michael (Talwin): Wait seriously?
Michael (Talwin): ....
Michael (Talwin): So...don't rent a car?
BOB Yeah, Brightline
Michael (Talwin): Uber 4 hours would be killer so....
BOB Goes from Fort Lauderdale to Orlando by then
Michael (Talwin): Well. Shoot. I'll need to figure out how I'm goign to do this.
BOB It is supposed to open in May
Michael (Talwin): Anyways, sorry for distracting lol
BOB Tonight is distractions
BOB next week we start with opening portals to Hell
Michael (Talwin): Ala Diablo style
Michael (Talwin): :)
BOB so making sure everyone knows what you need to do
Bixi Fizzlebang: Oh dang. I'll have to think about that too. I have family in Orlando so I have a free place to stay there, but not sure I could get enough time off to make it worth going
Lisa: so in this time Branwyn has made the 3 copies of the fiendomicon
BOB Once we do open that first portal we click off rounds
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ood
BOB That is very possible Lisa
BOB for Branwyn to have done that
Lisa: Howard made two copy scrolls for her
BOB She can attempt to learn/copy each spell
BOB Ahh
Lisa: Fives will be disappointed
BOB a copy spell will only do one spell in the tome
Lisa: the fiendomicon is a spell book and not a reference book
BOB You can choose which you want to copy
Lisa: the book is useless to her
BOB Once you Learn the spell of course you can make as many copies as you want
Lisa: one is a priest spell and the mage spells start at 7th or 8th level
BOB So you can copy two of them for future use
Lisa: she is at 6th level spells and would need 1M XP to get to 7th level spells
BOB and as always you can use a spell book as a scroll to cast a spell
Carissa: Piece of cakeeee
BOB it just erases the spell from the book (this one is special so you are not sure what happens) but if Howard were to use Branwyn's spell book that way it would disapear
BOB Also agreeing that Branwyn would do what she can to keep/capture any spell from this book she can
BOB and she has had 18 weeks to do so before the rest of the group arrived
Shislif (Zayden): brb refill
Branwyn: ohh only 450K XP to 14th Lvl
BOB and can continue past then just that is our current point on the calendar
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Branwyn: If I kill Satan can I level?
BOB grins, how much is Brer worth?
BOB Not an equivalent, just was typing at the same time
BOB But......
BOB Man TMO should really be paying attention
Michael (Talwin): Lisa, if you can kill Satan, I will buy you whatever you want
TMO (Shurkural Sauscha): just got back fom getting a drink.
Michael (Talwin): Ah, just talking about killing Satan, just another day :)
BOB Beazabulb had a devil put aside for me
BOB for me
BOB for meeeeeeee
Howard Plum: lol
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Branwyn: she needs to copy the spells out for the library return so she needs to have one copy saved
Michael (Talwin): (My turn to get a drink.)
Lisa (Branwyn): you never said how many spells were in it or listed them out
BOB I will say that you can make one copy of all the book in the time you have had so far
Lisa (Branwyn): if she knows what's in the book she can decide if any would be of use
Lisa (Branwyn): all she knows is the priest spell and the mage spells are above her level
BOB Then ... yes... she can make a second copy of something she finds interesting
Branwyn: cough
Lisa (Branwyn): she needs to know what's in it
BOB Sorry, will add that in a moment, off looking at the details
Lisa: thx

BOB Plus one more power
BOB It contains the command words that work with any of the Prison of Zagig devices
BOB There are only 5 of them in existence
BOB That is a magical prison/cage that has antimagic and antidection that is only useable by a mage
Michael (Talwin): Wow
Lisa: magic book Note: cage not included
BOB Other than the command word only a Wish can release someone
Michael (Talwin): LOL
BOB grins yes to Lisa
Michael (Talwin): I tell you, before this game ends, no matter which character or what era, I WILL See Wish be used, just once
Lisa: BUT ... could be helpful if someone put US in a magic cage
BOB Careful what you Wish for
BOB Also yes to Lisa
Michael (Talwin): Trust me, even if it turns out badly, I will be so giddy with excitement
Lisa: damn. if only I had memorized those command words
BOB and a quest for Branwyn, if she was looking for a surefire way to keep someone locked up
Michael (Talwin): There's only five....
Lisa: there were only 3 two handed sword masters and you found one
Michael (Talwin): Touche, literally
Lisa: lol
BOB Well only a Demon has this book, and he is trapped in Hell, so .....
BOB and exactly for Michael, Talwin achieved an almost unique skill
BOB You should be very proud
Michael (Talwin): I am proud! But the gang deserves the lion share of Credit.
BOB OR be a little deranged and go off to hunt the other three and eliminate them so you are the only one
Michael (Talwin): .....
BOB There can be only one
BOB HERE we are, Born to be Kings, we're the Princes of the Universe
Lisa: We shall say the Branwyn definitely wrote down the command words and has memorized them or will have sewn it inside her clothes
Michael (Talwin): I thought getting rid of the homicidal sword would rid me of these notions.....
BOB Yes to Branwyn making copies of that
Lisa: but did it rid BOB of these notions?
BOB Tell me someone gets that line?
Talwin: LOL
Michael (Talwin): I did not bob, not for that one
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): deja vu
TMO (Brer Necholas): the guy who used to make cards for the Highlander CCG gets it
BOB Love you TMO
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Didn't we make that reference a few sessions ago and ask the same question about it?
BOB and thank you Lemon, Love you too

Shislif (Zayden): what are the spells?
BOB Someone REALLY like that spell book
BOB Digit of Disruption is the only one you do not/cannot research and know, those others are in the Players Handbook
Michael (Talwin): Why? Is it somethign her class cannot cast?
BOB It is not a known spell
Lisa: sorry was trying to see if I could copy out of FG and it kept pasting here
Michael (Talwin): Then....how is it here?
BOB Unique to this particular spell book
Lisa: I retyped and will look them up
Michael (Talwin): Ah, okay. Thanks
Lisa: you snuck some 5th lvls in there
Michael (Talwin): Was very confused
BOB grins
BOB brb restroom as you organize
BOB Lemon you missed it earlier, I have a Devil for you to fight for practice
BOB brb
Shislif (Zayden): So Zay will tag along and get into trouble and you guys bail him out?
Shislif (Zayden): :)
Brer Necholas: Bob - any idea how to code Weapon Proficiencies for Groups?
Brer Necholas: Brer has Broad Group Swords and Tight Group Lances
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That's how I feel too, lol. Tagging along and letting everyone save me
BOB back
Lisa: that is not always possible ...
BOB for TMO put that in skills and then you can use that to mark weapons as proficient as needed
BOB and yes with Lisa for Lemon and Sharif
Lisa: so far these spells suck
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I mean, I do my best...
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): As I'm sure Sharif does
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Shislif (Zayden): maybe like 80%
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): But usually someone else comes to the rescue
Shislif (Zayden): the veterans saving the rookies, it's the best way to learn
Shislif (Zayden): I'm trying this image generator AI on my phone to come up with a Zayden image
BOB (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.TheBiggerTheyAre">(LINK)</a>
Lisa: like Bob's example when we lost Tiberius. Most of the group was standing together and then fireball. Anyone with hurt in prior combat and low hps was dead
BOB That is a link to a previous adventure that will be of historical value
BOB Also for Lisa's reference see the updated Book Return page
Lisa: ok
Brer Necholas: Bob - do you have a piece of magic armor I can see as a template for Brer's stuff?
BOB Not that I know of TMO but I can drag one to his sheet, what type?
Brer Necholas: if you have it, plate mail. but anything will do
BOB I meant what Lisa was talking about, see the Book Return page
BOB Lisa talked about something that is there,
BOB Lemon, Sharif,
Shislif (Zayden): yes?
BOB you were not here but they were in an adventure, and Tiberius, the toughest fighter in the group, had his head cut off and sent home to Branwyn
BOB As a point of EVERYONE can die
BOB ANYONE
Zayden: I get it i get it first season of game of thrones style
BOB so being nimble and flexible and aware of things
BOB grins yes to Sharif
Shislif (Zayden): So what does Zayden need to bring?
Brer Necholas: thanks
Shislif (Zayden): realistically Zayden prolly shouldn't even go on this trip lol
BOB Plate Mail added to Brer for you TMO
Lorie: Hell Packing list:
BOB Actually Sharif he might
BOB BUT also he might be valuable in the Inn on the outside of the portal to Hell but inside and not in The Mist
BOB that is part of the discussion
Shislif (Zayden): oh ok, yea if there's a spot Zay can hold down that sounds cool
Lorie: 2-4 pairs drawers; 2-4 pairs pants; 1 pair shorts (optional); 4-6 pairs socks; 1 brush; 1 toothbrush; snacks; sketch pad; optional shoes; normal traveling equipment :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Yeah, I have a hard time planning because nothing happens the way I expect. I rely on the experienced members to pack whatever physical things we need, then I do my best with my spells when the time arises
BOB Once someone (Jennevive or ??) uses a scroll to open a portal to Hell, someone has to help guard against those things comeing out to invade the Inn, and the Estate
Lisa: all of these spells are contigent on us knowing the names of the creatures - even banishment
BOB and so Fives becomes valuable grins
BOB There are generic names for low level devils
Lisa: he knows therir names?
Shislif (Zayden): cool
BOB Higher level, more powerful have their own unique names
Lisa: but you can only do stuff like banish on this plane
BOB Nods
Lisa: and if it's low level we can probably kill them without too much trouble
Brer Necholas: huh.... I can't change the + from +1 to +2. weird
BOB Also for Lemon and Sharif, if you go TO Hell your weapons needs to be magical to hit a creature
Brer Necholas: I can change the *name* to +2, but not the actual AC
Lorie: We should consider cones of silence...
BOB But if they come to you then you might be able to hit them
Lorie: so they can't alert others
BOB nice idea Lorie
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I think Bixi has a magic weapon?
Michael (Talwin): What about a cone of Shame?
Shislif (Zayden): so Zay will stay outside the portal but not go to Hell I think is prolly best
BOB for example if you have a plus 4 magic weapon, when you go to the first level of Hell it becomes a +3 weapon, level 2 a +2 level 3 a +1 level 4 a magical with no plus,
Lorie: Anyone who dies will get the cone of shame
Michael (Talwin): Hey, in hell? I'd say it's more likely than other adventures lol.
Shislif (Zayden): I think Zay will need a bunch of healing potions
BOB So if you end up going to the 6th level of Hell you need a +7 weapon to have a plus one to hit with it
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Hitting stuff with her club is not Bixi's forte, though. She is potentially mostly a healer for this particular adventure
BOB Which is why Jenn and Branwyn are trying to lure them here
Lisa: we gave bixi the rod of strength it should be on her sheet
BOB Exactly Lisa and Lemon, Bixi has a magic weapon to SMASH things over the head
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Is it listed as "club +2"?
Michael (Talwin): I have no idea how magical Talwin's sword was, but I'd say not that high
Michael (Talwin): I did not know this. Oops
Michael (Talwin): Thank you for explaining that rule bob. I must have glossed over it
BOB Correct to Michael, no one on this plane has anything higher than a plus 4
BOB and that is for Paladins etc
Brer Necholas: I haven't gotten to his sword yet
Michael (Talwin): Can we douse the swords in magical substances to increase that effect temporarily bob?
Carissa: Lies. Brer has a +5 Shield so if he just smashes someone with it...
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): And I'm not saying that Bixi CAN'T smash shit, just that she's not very GOOD at it
BOB Changed Brer's armof to +1
Lisa: * Rod of Strength - Use the command word to increase the wielders strength by 2 for one turn, can be activated 3 times per day; or acts as a club +2 - Bixi
Michael (Talwin): Can I hit somewith WITH Bixi? The magical aspect is covered :)
Carissa: LOL
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): lol!
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Thank you Lisa!
BOB I brought up that earlier story arc also to point out, once you open the portal to Hell we start counting rounds, click click click until the story arc is voer
BOB over
BOB so it might take 3 or 4 session to go through 30 rounds
Michael (Talwin): I'm picturing a Tower Defense game when ou say that bob....
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That seems extremely not out of the question
Michael (Talwin): Is it too late to obtain that Ballistae....
BOB added a note to the Book Return page with a link to The Bigger Then Are
Brer Necholas: backpack-mounted ballista
Michael (Talwin): OH MY GOD TMO! YOU HAVE MADE MY DAY! SOMEONE PUT THAT IN AI GENERATOR
Michael (Talwin): I'm just pictureing some poor peasant kneeling over on hands and knees so some enginner can engage the ballistae
BOB When you want to test against a Devil that Fives trained a gnome to project let me know and I will add him to the map for you to spar with
Michael (Talwin): Is this a legitimate opportunity to see how the battle with a devil woulld shake out? If yes, then Talwin is on board to see what he's up against
BOB Yes it is
Michael (Talwin): Then I would definitely like to prepare
Michael (Talwin): Anyone else?
Carissa: I'm bored so yes.
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): same
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): let's go
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Or else I'm afk for laundry
Shislif (Zayden): Zay with stick with Bix
Shislif (Zayden): will
Michael (Talwin): I have an unfrotuante hard stop at 10:30 Bob s time, so if it's alright may I go first?

Michael (Talwin): Chocolate then!
Lisa (Indigo): she made her save when she rolled it
BOB Ahh I see, so Rae and Talwin should take 18 not 36
BOB Like I said we all need to practice
Lisa (Indigo): the game rolls the saves too fast
BOB and I can take those off also Lisa
Michael (Talwin): We gotta let people hide behind Talwin. He's gonna really have a bad time, but might help some people. Also Talwin has terrible magic resistance, so a resist flame or magic potion would be pretty awesome
BOB Need to check that
Lisa (Indigo): Lemon didn't get a chance to roll her own if she wants to
Lisa (Indigo): you can hide from a fireball if you are in range
Indigo: can't
Carissa (N'laea): so it can cast even if we hit it?
Lisa (Indigo): no - this is practice
BOB Some things are inate abilities, some are spell like abilities
Carissa (N'laea): making sure so we know we HAVE to hit it :)
Carissa (N'laea): ugh that was my worry
BOB and yes just showing a few (not all) of its capabilites
Carissa (N'laea): fireball couold easily be innate....
Lisa (Indigo): so fireballs and illusions are just tools of the trade?
BOB and this is a greater of the lower rank Devils
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I don't mind not rolling my own for practice, but I might get annoying about it next week lol
Carissa (N'laea): don't worry, you killed my confidence earlier

BOB Yes to Lemon
BOB and yes to Lisa was testing the Sharing is Caring
Michael (Talwin): So what I'm hearing is we need to kill them so fast they can't cast stuff
BOB so anyone can click on the little chat icon on a thing and share if to the chat for others to read also

BOB if you have questions etc
Michael (Talwin): Again, does Chant increase our ability to hit with the +1?
BOB Yes to Michael
BOB Bless does, Chant does, Prayer does
BOB Bless and Chant do stack
BOB but not all three
Howard Plum: chant person can't do anything else though - just stand there making noise and not moving
Howard Plum: a big singing target
Michael (Talwin): Ah! Okay guys. Who has Chant? I would HIGHLY Recommend any of these as we get started. Bless and Chant might make up for weaponry issues
Lisa: Bless might be better
Carissa (N'laea): all priests but should be one who won't do anything else
Michael (Talwin): Zayden likes to stand and be a singing target.... ;)
Lisa: if I was fighting a group and saw someone singing they would get a fireball
Michael (Talwin): He likes to SNEAK and be a singing target :D
Lisa: good thing you aren't fighting Branwyn

BOB LOL thank you Michael
BOB and Carissa or someone can you please share from your sheet to see if others can see
Michael (Talwin): We'll seriously nee d to be like. Oh there's one, and then in the same round kill them
BOB it might be that this is from a hostile NPC
: Divination
: Fire Purge
BOB Clicking on those brings up the spell for me
Fives: Bob - in case it comes up, Brer turns undead as a priest of the same level because he's a Ghosthunter kit. I assume that bonus does not apply to turning fiends?
BOB but does it do that for players?

Carissa (N'laea): Wrong one, sorry. BUT for other spells maybe worth making scrolls of...
BOB Correct to TMO
Carissa (N'laea): It should. That's how I've shared my spells before
Michael (Talwin): So as passive benefits, why don't we also make a list to "Prep" ahead of time. We have bless, anything that can give them a minus one?
Michael (Talwin): Glitterbombs at the gates?
Michael (Talwin): perhaps?
Lisa: now another option is to drag them outside the gate of the Inn
Michael (Talwin): Which will?
Carissa (N'laea): see if it'll weaken them?
Michael (Talwin): I'm wondering if they would be ripped apart
Lisa: Talwin is strong. To Hit on a medium creature and drag them into the Mist
BOB Namsut had none of her powers inside of The Mist
Lisa: actually throw them in the Mist so you don't have to go into the Mist yourself
Michael (Talwin): I can do that for sure, but won't they just come right back?

Save [16] [Target 11] -> [for Baatezu Greater Amnizu] [vs Branwyn] [TARGET-SAVED]
Michael (Talwin): I think we should be able to easily kill them all. We just copy todays strategy where we simply hit it while it does not hit back. Win-win!
Baatezu Greater Amnizu: [MR 50][MAGIC-RESIST SUCCESS] Attack has no effect. [d100 = 6]
Branwyn: Branwyn cast a spell NOT memorized.
Carissa (N'laea): LOL
Branwyn: [CAST] Many Jaws [at Baatezu Greater Amnizu]
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have such a limited number of spells uses for the things that worked, though

Branwyn: ok - it said Ranged in there. I changed it to blank
BOB There you go Rae
BOB and what does Abjure to?
N'laea: GO TO HELL
BOB Looks at the class
BOB grins
Carissa (N'laea): I dunno, that involves reading
BOB LOL LOL
Branwyn: This spell can send an extraplanar creature back to its own plane of existence. The spell fails against entities of demigod status or greater, but their servants or minions can be abjured. If the creature has a specific (proper) name, it must be known and used. Any magic resistance of the subject must be overcome, or the spell fails. The priest has a 50% chance of success (a roll of 11 or better on 1d20). The roll is adjusted by the difference in level or Hit Dice between the caster and the creature being abjured; the number needed is decreased if the priest has more Hit Dice and increased if the creature has more Hit Dice. If the spell is successful, the creature is instantly hurled back to its own plane. The affected creature must survive a system shock check. If the creature does not have a Constitution score, the required roll is 70% + 2%/Hit Die or level. The caster has no control over where in the creature's plane the abjured creature arrives. If the attempt fails, the priest must gain another level before another attempt can be made on that particular creature.
Michael (Talwin): Def gonna need some healers and ways to fudge with them while they are attacking us....Also, we could you know...set up barricades to funnel them. Or have an indiana jones boulder roll over them. I'm just saying, we can level the playing field somewhat if they are coming to us.
Carissa (Raelynn): Yeah he goes back AND he has to survive system shock roll so....
Carissa (Raelynn): tap tap....waiting....
BOB That is nice than you Lisa
BOB Was that from the book? or the character sheet?
BOB curious if the new extension is helping at all
Carissa (Raelynn): Haven't used it
Branwyn: I think I got it off (LINK)

BOB For Carissa, the new extention just puts a little chat box next to certain things to drag that into the chat
Carissa (Raelynn): I know, but I just drag the little red dot
Raelynn: [CAST] Amber Prison [at Baatezu Greater Amnizu]
Baatezu Greater Amnizu: [SAVE] vs. Spell [d20 = 15]

Baatezu Greater Amnizu: [MR 50][MAGIC-RESIST SUCCESS] Attack has no effect. [d100 = 35]
BOB The dot drags a link, the chat box should bring the text to the chat
Carissa (Raelynn): Hmmm so it doesn't add a -4 penalty to that roll
: Amber Prison
Raelynn: [CAST] Otiliuke's Resilient Sphere [at Baatezu Greater Amnizu]

Branwyn: [CAST] Whip of Pain [at Baatezu Greater Amnizu]

Michael (Talwin): Well yes bob, but what goes unsaid, is that something much WORSE could come through too
BOB Now you said it
Effect ['Whip of Pain'] -> [to Baatezu Greater Amnizu] [by Branwyn]
Michael (Talwin): Gee, I feel so much better :)
Branwyn: no whip on my sheet
Effect ['Whip of Pain'] -> [to Baatezu Greater Amnizu] [by Branwyn]
Branwyn: [SAVE VS] Whip of Pain
Talwin: Did he save?
Michael (Talwin): Did he save?
Branwyn: Branwyn cast a spell NOT memorized.

Branwyn: dmg is 4d4
BOB You can roll that right click on the d4 and select the 4 then drag into the chat
BOB Or onto that Token
Branwyn: it's a complicated spell but so deserving for hell peoples if she can hit them
BOB grins
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Michael (Talwin): Unless they are masochists of course
Michael (Talwin): It might just make them excited
Branwyn: also they have to roll a CON check after the save
Branwyn: fail CON
Branwyn: If the Constitution check succeeds, the creature feels only enough pain to suffer a -1 penalty to its next attack roll. Failure wracks the creature with pain until the end of the next round, lowering its Armor Class by one, imposing a -2 penalty to its attack rolls, and making spellcasting impossible.
Michael (Talwin): I like it already
Carissa (Raelynn): probably will make Jenn excited
BOB Yes it will be a very complicated combat
BOB LOL
Branwyn: LOL
BOB and side note, maybe a bit more respect for Princess Melody, the Prince of Dryads Lair who stole this book away from the demon?
Branwyn: think I fixed it except the CON and the dmg
Michael (Talwin): Can I just call it foolishness?
BOB chuckles
BOB and nice Lisa

Effect ['STR: -2;DEX: -2;CHA: -2;ATK: -2'] -> [to Baatezu Greater Amnizu] [by Branwyn]
BOB Deep into the spell books now
Branwyn: this is making hell seem safer than the Inn group
Carissa (Shi'Nynze): ah damn never added her spells
Branwyn: is hell group as follows?
BOB Michael, Sharif, Lorie, are you looking at the Inn map to see where to place the Gate ?
Branwyn: Branwyn Jennevive Tiberius Fives Bixi Talwin Licornah
Carissa (Raelynn): Dunno... almost wonder if Talwin needs to be out here now, lol
Carissa (Raelynn): Which you wanna do Michael?
BOB Remember in Hell your magic goes down 1 level by each level of Hell you go down
Howard Plum: I have the gate spell questions
Shislif (Zayden): JI am now
Lisa: Is it safer to open the gate, jump in and close it?
Lisa: use the 2nd scroll to return?
Shislif (Zayden): sounds wise
BOB Safer for who?
Carissa (Raelynn): You have the amulet necklace, can't you use that to return?
BOB It will stop things from crossing
Lisa: the people who don't want to go to hell?
BOB But it will also stop them from helping
Carissa (Raelynn): if things get bad up here, we all run into the Mist
Lisa: if we were opening the gate to hell and having to wander around looking for the library it would be worse
BOB Yes
Carissa (Raelynn): yes
BOB So getting Curb Side Service will be very helpful
Lisa: if Jenn gets the gate to open at the library all we have to worry about are library staff and patrons
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Lisa: or if we get taken prisoner and transported
BOB Many different possible outcomes
Michael (Talwin): With the late fees on your book, the Head Librarian or Archivist will literally skin you alive
Carissa (Raelynn): But really, it is a question: do you need the scroll to return to this plane now that you have the amulet necklace?
Lisa: but hence my thought that maybe ... maybe it would be easier to have one group rather than half leaving the other half to deal with whatever happens
Lisa: I didn't check the stupid book out!
BOB grins
Lisa: Those are not MY late fees
BOB That is something to talk about too,
Michael (Talwin): Well no...but you are within easier reach
Michael (Talwin): :)
BOB To be clear what I have tried to set up:
BOB A demon has a book from Hell (the Devils)
BOB The Demon loses the book and so they are trapped in Hell until it is returned
BOB You have the book
Lisa: do I look like a demon??
Michael (Talwin): Do you require an answer to that?
Michael (Talwin): :P
Lisa: lol
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
Michael (Talwin): Anyone who sees manyjaws or fireball probably thinks you do
BOB So you are trying to make a deal with either the Demon to give the book back to them (the person who has sent the creatures and red scrolls after you) so they can return it to the Library in Hell (Devils)
Michael (Talwin): OR
BOB Or you are trying to bypass the Demon and give the book back to the Librarian in Hell
Michael (Talwin): God, politics in hell is like real life
BOB You have many different options for both things
Lisa: Bran is going in what is important is what other people want to do
BOB They did learn from the best/worst (Congress)(
Lisa: like Carissa asked - can we use the amulet to return without using a scroll?
BOB Yes you can
Michael (Talwin): Yeah, pretty sure some of them are secretly undercover arch demons, but what do I know
BOB You can use the amulet like you have before
Lisa: we will have to take something if we want to get back without another scroll
Lisa: Bixi needs to find a library rock
Carissa (Raelynn): One of Fives horns
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB The idea that Jenn was raising was using the Gate scrolls to summon a Devil to negociate with to return the book
Michael (Talwin): Frankly Lisa, whatever gets the most people out alive and having fun is what I will go with. On our end, we have a good repetroir of passive aids (Bless, Chant, whatever), and we'll try to get this smooth. For all we know, you could just come across the dude, he'll be like "oh, that's mine! Can I have it back?" you'll say yes, and then we'll be like. Cool. See ya.
Lisa: the catch is getting the mark removed
BOB The book is late, very overdue, there are fines to pay
Michael (Talwin): We just established Bran didn't check them out bob! Pay attention! :)
BOB and yes to that for Branwyn
Lisa: handing the book to some random devil who can't remove the mark is a waste of time
BOB and yes to Lisa
Michael (Talwin): Jenn would know which one could I'd bet
Michael (Talwin): Or fives
Lisa: the demon can pay the stupid fines
Michael (Talwin): One that we *might* have a slim chance in hell killing if he decides he doesn't like to negotiate
Carissa (Raelynn): Demon is already captive in Hell so not like they can't find him
Michael (Talwin): I have no problem doing the Talky Talky because it's a truly unique encounter. But I also don't mind slaughtering our way to the front librarian, saying "Sorry about all the blood on the pages. Here is a book we found. Can you remove this mark?" either
BOB That is the point Michael and Carissa, you have to negociate and find the right Devil to deal with, but also have the strength to deal with the misc Devils who wander by
Carissa (Raelynn): Road closed signs
Michael (Talwin): LOL
Talwin: But....
Michael (Talwin): Hm
Michael (Talwin): Angelic Crossing this way maybe?
BOB Summoning them to you rather than trying to go through the landscape of Hell to get there
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB I am anticipating you using several different methods options, ideas, etc
BOB Maybe have Zayden with a golden fiddle?
Michael (Talwin): Honestly, this is not my specific area of expertise and everyone knows it. Talwin can do talking, and reason, but really his only real skills involve battle. Neverthtless, if we simply talk the whole time, the setup has made this interesting enough I won't mind not fighting in the slightest to see it play out.
Shislif (Zayden): Might as well, this is all above Zay's head lol
Lisa: we need to find a guardian?
Michael (Talwin): Play the devil for his soul?
Lisa: Two Guardians One that guards the location of the book The other attacks until the book is surrendered back
BOB A guardian would be a named Devil
Lisa: Talwin is good. Might need a more iffy kind of character talking ...
BOB Looks at TMO
Lisa: And no deals
Lisa: no one signs or agrees to anything
TMO: just sat down, what do I need to do now?
Carissa (Raelynn): N'laea speaks Devil now. Too bad she isn't charming.
BOB They are looking for a more iffy kind of character
TMO: sorry, lots of work
BOB so I thought TMO!
Lisa: lol
TMO: what kind of iffiness do you need?
Lisa: spiffiness?
BOB Quote
TMO: I don't have a spiffy iffy at the moment
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
Lisa: just wanted to stress to be careful talking there
Lisa: if someone agrees to something or makes a deal not sure others can help save them
Michael (Talwin): Yeah, i've read enough books to know where any *Deals* leads. It's like Title Loans. Trust me, you aint coming out ahead
Carissa (Raelynn): yes
BOB Story Arc - Political Prisonor in Hell
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Sounds like wise words for Zayden in particular
Michael (Talwin): Bob, don't even joke LOL
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I know he loves chatting
BOB BRB restroom
Michael (Talwin): Gods, they would release him just from listening to him! Or praise his awesome songs, one or the other
Shislif (Zayden): lol
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I just feel like there have been a couple of times where he agreed to things very quickly lol
Lisa: what do you think after fighting that sample?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I LOVE having Zayden around, but in this case, I'm a little worried for his safety
Lisa: want to have two groups or just have everyone jump in and close the door behind us?
Carissa (Raelynn): Two groups gives us the safety net of The Mist
Michael (Talwin): I think we need to stack the deck wherever possible, because Talwin is used to hitting three times in a row and just killing the thing. I missed almost 2 out of 3 times. But, I do think it is possible
Lisa: Lorie logged off?
Michael (Talwin): Not sure?
Lorie: Nope still here
Lorie: just wasn't in character for a moment
Lisa: thoughts?
Lisa: leave a scroll with the outside group and if they feel overwhelmed they can close the gate?
Lorie: I think that based on the test, wandering hell is not a solid strategy for the group. If you could pull off a more direct line to the library we'd fare better
Michael (Talwin): Agreed
Lisa: Jenn will give us that
Shislif (Zayden): agreed!
Lorie: Locking the door behind doesn't really help
Lisa: only wandering the library
Lisa: I'm more worried for the group at the Inn
Lisa: Hell is a done deal - at least some of us are going
Lorie: I share that concern... I'm worried about what we cannot see
Lorie: there are things that can escape that we won't notice until they hit the mist
Lisa: once Bran, Jenn and Tiberius go to hell they can't help anyone outside
Michael (Talwin): Then we'll do our best. We don't really have too many options haha
Lorie: We might want to balance the groups a bit
Lisa: they might not go to the Mist when a nice Inn is right there
Michael (Talwin): If you want to leave a scroll for emegency sealage, we can do that.
Michael (Talwin): Talwin does not mind going to hell
Lisa: I was trying to split
Michael (Talwin): Right. That's no problem
Lisa: Tiberius in hell and Indigo out
Lisa: N'laea out
Raelynn: (LINK)
<a href="http://www.dragonslayers-society.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Return-OOC">(LINK)</a>
Lisa: Talwin I thought in
Carissa (Raelynn): As it stood earlier
Michael (Talwin): (Right)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Bixi definitely plans to go to hell. Daph could easily lean either way. So whether we split or not, I'll leave that to the more experienced people to decide. I do not know which is best for this, but I'm game either way
Lorie: :: nod :: I saw thta on the site, but the live test makes me wonder if we need to reshuffle
Carissa (Raelynn): Based on our earlier testing, our best (non Bran) damage dealers were: Bixi, Howard, then Talwin
Carissa (Raelynn): Talwin was still a toss up
Lisa: Howard has limited spells
Michael (Talwin): Makes me sad when Talwin can't be the Heavy Hitter :/
Michael (Talwin): :)
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): Not going to lie, the idea of Bixi's bludgeoning being good here is hilarious
Lisa: there will be combat in both places
Carissa (Raelynn): What we still haven't seen is how Fives is at fighting
Carissa (Raelynn): To know if maybe Talwin is better at the Inn
Lisa: so everyone wants 2 groups still?
Michael (Talwin): If his weapon is as sharp as his tongue, he'll be fine
Michael (Talwin): I think 2 groups is fine
Carissa (Raelynn): Atm, but I don't know once I can think more tomorrow :P
Lisa: gate is opening next friday
Carissa (Raelynn): I mean ideally, there is only one group
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I have no strong opinion either way
Lisa: so before then we need to know
Carissa (Raelynn): And you won't HAVE to jump to hell
Carissa (Raelynn): Planning brain will probably still be going next week, no worries :)
Lisa: I'll leave a scroll for the outside so if they overwhelmed they can close it
Lisa: leave the hell people to their own devices
Michael (Talwin): What other things do you need from me to vote on? I'll have to drop in 8 min unfortunately.
Raelynn: They can close, and again, I think The Mist gives them safety if they get overwhelmed as well. Run into the Mist.
Carissa (Raelynn): Might mean the inn is something we have to fix later but... details
BOB Back
Lisa: they run into the mist and leave the Inn a target?
BOB voting on the site during the week no worries Michael
Lisa: that was not the deal
TMO: me too. finished moving the bead board inside
Lisa: outside people need to protect the Inn and Gerry
Carissa (Raelynn): I meant those who are hurt can run to the Mist, some brave soul or two stays to close the gate and run to the Mist
TMO: heavy stuff when you're on your own
BOB I think you need to consider if there are ways to summone library staff to you
Lisa: if they can't do that then they need to close the gate
Michael (Talwin): Ring the bell at the front desk bob?
BOB and also the idea of where is the gate,
Carissa (Raelynn): Crstal Ball search in Hell
TMO: twinkies. twinkies will summon any devil
Carissa (Raelynn): I thouight it was fiddle playing
BOB if things come out of the gate how/where can they go
Michael (Talwin): The whole point of antoher group was to make sure the inn is safe, otherwise, we might as well just all go in and play
Lisa: if someone knows the librarian's name we can summon
Bixi Fizzlebang: I thought that was devil dogs
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): ooc
Lisa: not sure you can summon some idea of a librarian if we can't picture one even
BOB Again I will point out one last time. your plus 2 sword here at the Inn becomes a plus 1 at the very best once you open the gate and go inside
Michael (Talwin): The Librarians name is simply Doctor. Nothing else, because god help you if you are introduced and Doctor is not the first prefix said apparantly in Arizona
Carissa (Raelynn): And yes, I'm not saying we all cower and run into the Mist BUT if there is a fireball and someone is down to 3 HP...then yeah, we can save that character by letting them run to the Mist
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The mist sickness wouldn't kill them at that point?
BOB If you open a gate to the 5th plane of Hell your plus 2 sword is non-magical
Michael (Talwin): Bob I agree, but I mean, what should we do here? Just not go? I don't know what to do anymore and even I'm starting to get a little frustrated
Carissa (Raelynn): It shouldn't, it just makes you feel ill doesn't hurt
Talwin: I mean, if we can't fight, then why go
Carissa (Raelynn): You need magic
BOB I am not telling anyone what do to
Carissa (Raelynn): Like a high level mage... or something....
Michael (Talwin): I don't have it. So I guess Talwin is at th Inn Lisa
BOB just making sure you know what the effects are
BOB is why we did this sample combat
Michael (Talwin): I agree bob, but I mean, we are bound by limits of the game. If the limits say going to hell is basically suicide, then why go?
Lisa: unless Jenn can tell us how to summon a librarian we don't know I don't know how to do that?
Carissa (Raelynn): But again, my understanding is we aren't trying to go to Hell. We're trying to summon the library and librarian HERE and IF we have to go, we know who will go.
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm almost in favor of Michael's tower defense joke. Open the portal and then kill anything that comes out until a librarian comes for the book.
Lisa: do priest casters know how to summon or do divination on hell to get that info?
Lisa: not in Bran's capabilities
Carissa (Raelynn): (looking to see if I have any divination spell to help)
BOB Not in The Mist they only place they can do that is at the Inn
Carissa (Raelynn): (and trying to remember how to look...)_
Michael (Talwin): At this point Lemon, I am in full agreement
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I do not think I have anything like that, but I could be wrong
Lisa: how do you tell what a librarian looks like?
BOB When we pick up next week we will be at the Manor House ready to go to the Inn to tackle the plane shifting/opening things that can only happen there
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): They're the ones that ask for the book?
Michael (Talwin): And just so we are all clear before I log for the night (sorry guys), I'm fine with whatever. But when stressing over and over that going to hell is dangerious and your weapons wont work, then I start to feel like it's just stupid to do the quest which makes the whole thing not really fun anymore.
TMO: summon the gate to Hell right *at* the Mist boundary, so if they come out they hit the Mist immediately. We can talk through it
Carissa (Raelynn): darn okay, nevermind no
Carissa (Raelynn): neither Rae nor Shi have higher divination spells
BOB Michael, not trying to make it non-fun
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I was about to suggest something similar but way more poorly worded, TMO
BOB just want to make sure everyone knows the balance of power
Shislif (Zayden): 2nd
BOB You can go to Hell
BOB just need protection from fire or from cold as an example
Michael (Talwin): No I get that Bob, I'm not upset, I'm just like, well, what should I do? I'm not magical. I have limitied options for damage....and I'm starting to realize that while I'm fine with death, it just seems kinda dumb to go?
Carissa (Raelynn): Apparently there is a Wizard spell "Contact Other Plane".... how can we get that for Bran? :P
BOB Remember these planes are meant for souls, not for still alive creatures
Michael (Talwin): But love you all very much :) Gotta head out for the night. I WILL be online for chats and Discord and will be free Friday for whatever happens. Hugs all :)
Lisa: I know this is going to be hard. I wanted that but didn't want anyone else to have to deal with my weird wants non-easy adventures
BOB It might end up with someone going, which is what I think Lisa is pointing at
BOB have a great night Michael
Michael (Talwin): Night everyone :) Looking forward to next week!
Lorie: Good night
Lisa: Goodnight Michael
Shislif (Zayden): night!
Carissa (Raelynn): If you can think of a good question or three(?) Lisa, we can try doing Augury to see guide where to find Librarian
'Michael' disconnected
Carissa (Raelynn): (night Michael)
User has gone AFK. (Shislif)
BOB You have unlimited (to a degree) chances to devine things, etc.
TMO: Ask augury to tell us the exact steps to take to do this 100% safely
Lisa: LOL
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB You have had months of game time to formulate all the questions, just not the priests to cast them
BOB now it all comes together
BOB and you spend a week? month? two? on getting things right
BOB We are just clicking time off
Lisa: would have to be specific - like where in the library is he, what's his name
BOB Can still start the final Return Day next week, or wait a week based on plotting out ideas
Carissa (Raelynn): months game time to formalate things.... do you really think the rest of us plan that far ahead, Bob?
Lisa: can't ask where is the librarian and get the "in the library" answer :)
BOB grins with Lisa
Lisa: does someone have a summoning spell
BOB Smiles with Carissa,
Lisa: Jenn ...
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): The amount of planning I do is... like, exactly the amount of time I spend in Fantasy Grounds, minus half-ish.
Carissa (Raelynn): Probs Jenn
BOB Laughs with Lemon
BOB You know Jenn has access to Conjuration Summoning spells
Carissa (Raelynn): Okay so think Rae is limited to Augury for Divination help
Carissa (Raelynn): Oh wait she did gain Divination?
: Divination
BOB and Jenn has access to 5th level spells
Carissa (Raelynn): Which is fancier Augury
Carissa (Raelynn): I need to readd Shi's spells to see if she has anything of use here, but her god doesn't do divination
Lisa: don't see a person summoning priest spells
Lisa: just animals and weather
Lisa: don't want to pin hopes on a spell no one has
BOB Spheres Major: All, Chaos, Charm, Divination, Elemental (Fire), Necromantic, Thought
BOB for Jenn
BOB also her inate/granted powers: Powers: 1st level - Fast Talking proficiency 5th level - Inverted Ethics once per day 8th level - Bestow Minor Curse at will three times per day
Lorie (Licornah): We could make the inn a Sanctuary and make Gerry Sacred Guardian
Carissa (Raelynn): So she should have the Contact Other Plane spell then....
BOB That is an idea Lorie
BOB and yes to Carissa,
Lisa: I like the idea of making the gate directly face the mist as long as no one can avoid it
BOB You have access to the list of spells for the spheres, so you know what is avaiable
Carissa (Raelynn): Amd Thoughtwave which, if that can cross planes
Licornah: I have Divination as a spell
Lisa: think you can only create it past the gate
Carissa (Raelynn): Or leave like a foot between it and The Mist
Carissa (Raelynn): For once in my life, I would lke to be grateful for the Mist
BOB warm smile
Lisa: and if they run around to not deal with the horde waiting in the mist?
Lisa: just playing devil's advocate :)
Carissa (Raelynn): LOL
BOB HAH
Lorie (Licornah): What if we use Reflecting Pool to look into the Library? How warded do we think it is?
BOB I am glad that you have seen where some of your not obvious strengths are now, and some of the various alternatives you have
TMO: panicking and flailing?
BOB LOL TMO
Lisa: if you can divine the librarian's true name, where they are in the library and perhaps how to call them that woud be great
Carissa (Raelynn): lol
BOB That is a nice idea Lorie
Lisa: can you do that on an idea of a place?
Lorie (Licornah): How many priests do we have -- two or three?
Lisa: just asking - no clue
BOB Depends on level and religion
BOB Remember Branwyn the Church Builder
Reflecting Pool
BOB She has several churches that are beholden to her to call on
Lisa: mage stuff is generally focused on being able to concentrate on something - that's what I know
BOB plus Spring's characters of Snee and Kenna
BOB with their churches
Lorie (Licornah): If we could get priests to cast Uplift -- that would increase levels / success
BOB My first instinct is to say Branwyn could summon up 50 or so 1st level priests or higher of different religions
Lorie (Licornah): Even Unearthly Choir would help...
BOB Lorie, Carissa, and Lemon are the priest people to know things
BOB Lisa is the mage person
TMO: The Anti-Climactic Arc is sounding more and more likely
BOB chuckles
Lorie (Licornah): But if there were that many priests chanting / blessing... that would ensure more success
BOB As Branwyn is waiting in line to turn in her book the customer behind her kicks her
Lisa: she then elbows them in the face
Lisa: what's with kicking?
Lorie (Licornah): (With Negative Plane Protection it would bounce off of her)
BOB and Presto back to the battle royalle for you TMO
TMO: gee thanks!
BOB and see Lorie is ready for black friday at the library
Lisa: but bob is not kidding - we have access to about 6 churches if you need more priests
Licornah: Honestly... I think I hate to say it, but I'd be inclined to invite lots of priests to help with warding, blessing, protecting ...
BOB Have to always check spells, some are by Priest, some are by Religion, some are by Goddess
Lorie (Licornah): as long as they aren't in conflict... it could work
BOB grins,
Lisa: well ...
Shislif (Zayden): gotta tend to some dinner business so I'll call it anight, have a great week everyone :)
Lisa: don't know about that
Lorie (Licornah): LIke my deity has a cousin deity and they work well together
Carissa (Raelynn): night Sharif!
BOB Make the courtyard of the Inn glow so much that The Mist looks inviting to someone visiting from Hell
Lorie (Licornah): Night Sharif!
Lisa: Goodnight Sharif
BOB Night Sharif
Shislif (Zayden): Night :)
'Shislif' disconnected
Lorie (Licornah): Starshine could do that BOB
BOB Happy Holidays
Carissa (Raelynn): ...Shi has a spell like that, I think
TMO: it's sounding more like our best bet, if we can manage it, is to reduce it to contacting just 1 devil and bringing them to us? If that's even possible. Sorry, I've never dealt with high level magic like that before
TMO: by Sharif
Carissa (Raelynn): Dang it, I can't share spells from the book
Licornah: Bixi probably has it... I have it
Lisa: A starshine spell enables the caster to softly illuminate an area as if it were exposed to a clear night sky filled with stars. Regardless of the height of the open area in which the spell is cast, the area immediately beneath it is lit by starshine. Vision ranges are the same as those for a bright moonlit night--movement noted out to 100 yards; stationary creatures seen up to 50 yards; general identifications made at 30 yards; and recognition at 10 yards. The spell creates shadows and has no effect on infravision. The area of effect actually appears to be a night sky, but disbelief of the illusion merely enables the disbeliever to note that the "stars" are actually evoked lights. This spell does not function under water.
Carissa (Raelynn): Nature's Charm is 5th Level Earth, but have to check limits. Makes them literally resist leaving, though
Starshine
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): That doesn't sound very bright
BOB glowing could be just an aura of good
Licornah: BOB, this spell is reversible, isn't it?
BOB to get them to go elsewhere
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I do have it, though
BOB Many spells are, but they usually say so
Lorie (Licornah): Okay... I might be thinking of another one, sorry all.
Baatezu Greater Amnizu's health adjusted by +40
Raelynn: Nature's charm causes a particular place to exert a special fascination beyond mere beauty to anyone entering the area except the spellcaster. This spell must target a site of notable natural splendor that possesses both edible plants and fresh water. The spot may not be larger than the spell's area of effect. For instance, a 12th-level druid could cast this spell on a forest glade up to 360 feet across, with flowers and fruit-bearing trees centered around a waterfall. Anyone coming upon the enchanted region must save vs. spell; those who fail invariably make up excuses to remain there long after they should have left. They say they want only to bathe, rest, admire the beauty a bit longer, eat the berries or fruit, paint a picture of the area, or defend the spot jealously from others. Whatever the reason, those who fall victim to the enchantment forcefully resist all attempts to make them leave until the spell's duration ends.
Carissa (Raelynn): But there is confusion on some of these spells on which are all earth sphere or which are restricted and that says druid so...maybe not
BOB Which book is it from?
Lemon (Bixi Fizzlebang): I'm sorry, I think I've reached my limit for planning. My brain will no longer stay focused on this task. I'm probably going to head out. But I will definitely check in on the discord, and if someone tells me to check the site (coughCARISSAcough) then I will definitely do that too. Goodnight friends!
BOB Unless it is the Complete Druid book it is available to all priests
Carissa (Raelynn): sorry had to check cats
BOB and you will have a great night Lemon
Carissa (Raelynn): looks like Druid, but would need ot check if in both
BOB ALmost done
Carissa (Raelynn): night Lemon!
Lorie (Licornah): Good night
BOB I need sleep
Lorie (Licornah): There is Sunscorch too
BOB beach clean up starts in 7 hours
'Lemon' disconnected
BOB That can be very good too Lorie
Carissa (Raelynn): Go sleep
Lorie (Licornah): but it's not enough I think
Carissa (Raelynn): I need to redo Shi spells to see what else I might have anyways
BOB I will leave this up and do the chat in the afternoon tomorrow when I return
Carissa (Raelynn): She might need to move groups... she has more damaging spells... ugh gotta think about that ntho
BOB have a great night everyone
Carissa (Raelynn): night!
TMO: cya Bob. good luck!
Licornah: Happy Beach day BOB
Licornah: Night all
'Carissa' disconnected
BOB Yeah hoping no rip currents or cannot use the sub
Licornah: I'll review the priest compendiums to see what I can come up with
BOB Leaving this for people to review things
'Lisa' disconnected
TMO: there's always Protection from Evil 10' radius
TMO: Sanctuary
TMO: 3rd level Abjuration spell: Minor Pact
TMO: This spell is a ritualized means to make bargains with devils.
TMO: Remove Curse
TMO: 4th level: Abjure. Sends an extraplanar creature back to its own plane of existence.

From Discord chat
Oh and don't forget if you want to borrow wand or not, Lisa. Unlike TMO, I do kind of want that as a convo if you decide you do.
TMO — Yesterday at 10:55 PM Oh, I was willing, we just never did it.
1
MadamePsychosis — Yesterday at 10:56 PM I would love to borrow it
Carissa the Earwormer — Yesterday at 10:57 PM Up for IC or in game Friday chat. You might definitely need it, lol
@TMO Oh, I was willing, we just never did it.
MadamePsychosis — Yesterday at 10:59 PM If Brer comes to play we can have all sorts of convos [11:00 PM] So ... Drake is still alive. Thank you. How's it going otherwise?
1
TMO — Yesterday at 11:01 PM Honestly, I don't know if he is or not. Bob hasn't ever told me anything about what Brer has been up to in the intervening years.
MadamePsychosis — Yesterday at 11:01 PM I would hope we would get a message if Drake was killed
TMO — Yesterday at 11:02 PM you'd think so, wouldn't you?
MadamePsychosis — Yesterday at 11:02 PM I would think ...
TMO — Yesterday at 11:34 PM bleh - Augury only works for an event within a half-hour of the casting April 22, 2023
@TMO bleh - Augury only works for an event within a half-hour of the casting
Carissa the Earwormer — Today at 9:36 AM Oops realized I started the convo wrong channel. Oh well. BUT good point. I think Divination does NOT have that limit but will check later today.
