    IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part V(b)

    So, I was confused. Ti posted... The part that I bolded in this block of text was the only part that I paid attention to. That was because when I said... I had meant to indicate that I was stopping your stated course of action to allow you to set a new course of action. What then happened...

    IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part V(b)

    Erdolliel carefully searches the room while Kushnak pockets the ledger on the illithid's desk. Aside from the various books about the Free City on the shelves, the elf finds a plethora of coins and gems in the chest. After stowing away the valuables, the duo heads back toward the strange...

    Erdolliel finds that the key, indeed, opens the door to the next room. The elf sees a private room with a desk, two bookshelves, and a chest. Lying open on the desk is what appears to be a ledger of some sort. Various figures suggest that it is a list, or a budget, however, Erdolliel does not...

    No prob with the searching the room during the several minutes that Kushnak does nothing. There is, however, nothing else there. Erdolliel (and Kushnak, for that matter) lacks appropriate knowledge skill(s). So it would be an INT check, but you can't even make such a check if the DC of the...

    Kushnak and Erdolliel wait for Kushnak's weakened state to subside, and Erdolliel confirms that the door in the room has no traps, but it is locked. Further, while the elf waits for Kushnak to recover, she realizes that the pool of water in this large room is filled with perhaps hundreds of...

    Erdolliel opens the door and moves through the hallway, back toward Kushnak. The elf notices a small pool of water in the middle of the hallway. Oddly enough, glancing into the pool shows her a view of the doppelganger's throne room, beneath the Sodden Hold. The room looks exactly as...

    While Kushnak gathers his strength, Erldolliel makes her way back through which might be called a museum into the room where Nethezar died, which might be called a library or laboratory. A quick check of the tank of water suggests that it is empty, and unless the enormous monster is hiding...

    Everything is magic except the key. You succeed with the potions (12+ and 20+ checks). Fly in effect ~ 69 rounds. Protection from Evil: 35 rounds. Enfeeble 14 rounds. How long did we decide those first two last?

    Erdolliel quickly assesses and takes control of the situation. Fortunately, nothing untoward happens. The elf find quite a few potential treasures on the illithid's body. In short order, Kushnak regains mental control of himself. The half-orc, however, is still very weakened by the...

    Hoping against hope that Erdolliel can finally bring the creature down, the elf strikes again. Once more, she manages to get through the creature's magical defenses and finds a weak spot. With a disgusting gurgling sound, the creature collapses. Whatever magic was holding it aloft fails, and...

    Erdolliel lashes out at the illithid. Aided by the invisibility, she manages to land one solid blow to the creature's head. The illithid looks about to collapse. Either out of sheer luck, or an uncanny sixth-sense, the illithid manages to send another lighting bolt right at Erdolliel. This...

    Erdolliel rushes at the illithid. Using her invisibility to the fullest, she adjusts right at the last moment, when she realizes her vision was being magically tricked, and she strikes the illithid right in one of its eyes. The creature bleeds profusely. "Not even you can dodge this," the...

    So... I guess we can either have a redo of everything after the illithid cast the ray of enfeeblement, or we can just carry on from where we are and say "whoops." What shall we do?

    Two things. First, I forgot to update the duration of spells last round. So those are: Fly in effect ~ 55 rounds. Protection from Evil: 22 rounds. Greater Invisibility: 7 rounds left Second, o3 reminded me that resistance boni don't stack. So, Kushnak should be stunned. So... uhhh... I...

    Kushnak ferociously flies at the illithid. As soon as he is within range, however, the illithid's staff glows again and dark energy shoots into Kushnak's body. The half-orc suddenly feels almost crippled, at least compared with the strength he usually enjoys. Kushnak tries to hack into the...

    IC: Dichotomy's Age of Worms Redux, Part V(b)

    Erdolliel's magic hides her from view. Kushnak and Erdolliel "hear" the mental equivalent of a snort of derision from the illithid, which lowers itself and casts its eyes about, as if waiting. Erdolliel takes a swing at the creature as it moves away, but, again, she strikes a false image...

    Kushnak, responding to Erdolliel's call, quickly moves forward. The half-orc calls upon his divine power to rob the illithid of its sight, but the creature seems to shrug off the magical power without any effort. Kushnak: moves; dodge; blindness, SR check 17+, fail Status & Init Erdolliel: 1...

    Erdolliel flies at the creature and makes what she thought would be a well-placed strike. However, she finds that, as if by some magic, the illithid is not actually where she thought it was, and her blade hits nothing but air. The rod in the illithid's hand glows a moment and a ray of black...

    Sensing that she has the drop on at least the tentacled creature, Erdolliel quickly lashes out with bolts of flame. With a squeal, the thing fails to the floor, little more than a quivering, burnt mass. Surprise round Erdolliel: 5-foot step (I took the liberty of assuming you don't want the...
