I didn't count the birthday bonus for Peth's save, but with a 12 I'm pretty sure it's irrelevant. I'll see you all in 4 rounds, currently Peth is Out Of His Head. ;)

Peth utters a surprisingly vicious Orcish curse, at the same time narrowing his eyes as he swiftly analyzes the Lady's gathering powers. No time to research at all, how am I to have my best spells prepared if I have no time to research? he snarls to himself. Snapping his heavy crossbow up, he...

Peth stares in -- well, not surprise, because it was completely predictable, but he stares, aghast, as Thok and Kye do everything they possibly could to further enrage the Lady. Wishing he could observe the Lady quietly from a safe distance -- pen and journal in hand -- Peth instead hurries...

No prob Myth. :) Knowledge: Local and Knowledge: Religion checks. Add another +5 if Collector of Stories (Undead) is relevant. (1d20+9=25, 1d20+17=21) Let me know if any other Knowledges might apply and I can roll those. I'm still considering my action. :) I assume the Lady isn't going to...

Oy. Herding Helmites and Orcs. Cmon Thok, follow the bouncing ballMerry... ;)

Peth's eyes widen as he looks on the legendary White Lady for the first time. Even as he begins almost instinctively cataloguing the experience -- the size of the handprints, the rapidity of the temperature drop and any other details he can make out -- his hand drops to his spell component...

Peth sighs as the impetuous orc grabs Tatters from the bush, but the growing chill and far-off rumbles draw his attention. "Kye, Jill... I mislike those clouds and the growing cold. The day fails too swiftly to be purely natural. I think we should find some shelter, and soon." After a moment he...

I'm still here, I was just waiting for an update. I also have the MM2 in PDF, should you need something.

I looked through the 3rd-level spells in the Spell Compendium lists, here are the ones that seem similar: Energized Shield gives resistance 10 (and can shield bash). Dragonskin: natural armor + energy resistance 10 Resist Energy, Mass is a 3rd level spell. There's no "Enhance Resistance" that I...

Because when flat-footed you are caught completely off guard. Think "deer in the headlights". Your presence of mind has deserted you, you cannot react appropriately in any sort of immediate fashion.

Most free-action spells were errata-d to become immediate actions as soon as immediate actions were introduced, AFAIK. I don't see any worthwhile reason you should be able to cast feather fall when surprised, just because you might possibly be falling off a cliff at the time.

Peth looks around and shrugs. "I'm not familiar with this area, but it seems the kind of place that could certainly house a bear or two," he admits. "Although I will agree with Thok that an orcish savage is more frightening than a relatively reasonable creature such as a bear." He looks...

Peth frowns after Kye, wondering what that unhelpful gesture was intended to be. At Merry's words he smiles gently at her, cocking his head to one side. "For various reasons, lady, I am quite accustomed to not being taken seriously myself. I doubt you experience it much, but it is intensely...

Peth shrugs in annoyance; Tatters' position doesn't make any sense to him, unless the girl was somehow flying. Which seems unlikely, or the girl'd no doubt be looping round the treetops even now, he thinks to himself in amusement. He abandons his study, walking back up the stream's bank to the...

1. The spell would fail, I would rule without granting any additional information. 2. I believe Resurrection and True Resurrection would both remove the effects of a domination, since they remove other conditions such as disease, poison, paralyzation, undeath, being disintegrated, etc. 3...
