Waiting on GM before I answer Nar and Halasik.

Uh? Did you send me a PM I missed, Diata?

EDIT: Sorry! I formatted the private line to you wrong, so you couldn't see it. You should be able to see the writing now.

Diata rn:



...Does completely bypassing challenges count as completing them for XP purposes?

Yes, it does; you should know, you got 3 XP for retrieving the pass card without fighting its custodian. (You did all note those down, right?)

Of course, you need to be able to do that for it to count. Are you able to do that?

I gather that everybody is fine with following Halasik's suggestion and going through the leftmost entrance?

Yes!

Something like that.

Aiming for things to calm down soon and be able to post more interesting posts :)

I'm assuming everybody is fine with following Halasik down the new tunnel, and none of you want to do anything else in the room with the pillars and statues?

Works for me.

Yep, assuming no one else found anything of note and the statues aren't reacting it would make sense to report back at the others and proceed with the next plan, in this case Halasik's.

Ditto

My wife's in the hospital (she seems to be ok, but needs to stay for at least another few days to stay on some meds), and I have the kids on my own. Probably won't post for a few days. Please put Halasik on autopilot.

:_( I hope it's nothing too serious!
Take good care of your loved ones.

Same here, Halasik, best hope that things will solve themselves quickly and without any complication; take all the time you need.

For everybody else, I guess I should just assume that nobody wants to add anything to the current situation in-character, and you're fine with pulling open the doors?

I'll give it another ten hours or so, and then move things forwards with that in mind, so if you want to object, now's the time to do it.

Are we able to comprehend the effect through Spellcraft?

The harmless effect the elementals cast on Nar, you mean? Sure, you can attempt that; the DC is 30.

23:32, Today: Diata Yuari rolled 31 using 1d20+27 ((4)).

How easily Diata can handle any knowledge-related task is endlessly amusing to me. :)

I tried to make a librarian, and instead I made a walking library.

Apologies, still not quite calm and hence posting less

For the magma elementals, I can cast a 30 foot radius orb of cold spell that deals ~100 cold damage. With the magma elementals vulnerability to cold, that will likely clear out all but the strongest of them, who will still need to make saves or be staggered and entangled. But if it annoys the pyroblasters, we could end up in an awkward fight with us spread around.


I also don't have resist fire, so once we get to the bottom, I will start taking fire damage. Nar (or anyone else) can you grant resist fire to other people?

In a 30-foot radius from myself I can grant FR 15. However, I don't wanna do that anywhere near the pyroblasters because they might take it personal.

They would likely consider that an attempt to starve them and react aggressively, yes - although they'd need to realize they're under the effect of it first, and that it originated from you second. Which they well might, but it's not guaranteed, at least.

If we move quickly enough it'll just be a round or two so not too bad, especially given our temp hp.  What I'm concerned about is that Verik can't fly.
