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

    Nethezar casts a haste spell, and the trio quickly darts off, leaving the still-laughing last guard behind. With magical speed, the trio quickly reaches the city wall with no sign of any pursuit, and Kushnak's spell teleports them outside the walls, though there are still buildings around in...

    When Erdolliel removes the hairclip, she suddenly sees the man's hair slightly change color, his nose widen, his cheeks become slightly less gaunt. In short, his appearance visibly, though not drastically, changes.

    Nethezar says nothing, though he appears to be trying to burn a hole in Erdolliel with his eyes. Erdolliel quickly frisks the body. She finds no crystal, but she does find, underneath his chainmail helmet, a curious-looking hairclip, barely attached to his short hair.

    Kushnak lays into the doppelganger. With two powerful strokes, Kushnak tears his chest open. It collapses to the ground. Despite it clearly being dead, however, unlike the doppelganger's you've fought in the past, this one makes no shapechange to return to its natural form. Since things might...

    As Kushnak prepares to defend himself, Erdolliel sends bolts of force driving into the doppelganger. The other guard, clearly flummoxed at the situation, screams loudly for more guards, hoping that some passing citizen might summon more help. "You tried to stop her. Restrain her now and I...

    I believe that Erdolliel's proposed course of action cannot be done in its entirety. Using the wand obviously requires her to use a standard action. Therefore, all she has left is either (1) a move, or (2) a move-equivalent action plus a 5-foot step (because the 5-foot step action is only...

    Erdolliel lunges toward the doppelganger. Kushnak's swings at the elf and knocks her sword away. With no delay, however, the elf pulls out a dagger as she moves and jabs it into the doppelganger's arm. The other guard, startled out of his reverie, shouts obscenities in the direction the...

    Erdolliel picks up her sword and moves closer to her prey. Kushnak follows, waiting to stop any violence, but none is forthcoming. Unfazed, at least outwardly, Nethezar continues his exposition on civil service. "Right now, there is an old lady in the Garden District that needs your help...

    Erdolliel, shouting, lunges forward. Kushnak quickly follows her and, once the elf pulls out her sword, the half-orc bats it to the ground with ease. Nethezar, trying to stay focused, continues his discourse on civil service. He mentions something about having to deal with lunatics in the...

    "Death!" the guard who spoke before shouts. "Threats are not tolerated! Drop to the ground!" He pulls out a crossbow and aims it at Kushnak. Quieter, to his men, he says, "Take aim." "What in the Abyss is she doing?" Nethezar hisses. Loudly, however, his voice raises to begin a speech...

    Seeing Erdolliel about to fire a fiery spell, Kushnak smacks the elf with the blunt side of his sword. The elf loses her concentration, and the spell fizzles harmlessly. Both Kushnak and Neth ID the spell as scorching ray. 10+ and 17+ on checks. Kushnak: readies Erdolliel: casts Kushnak...

    The already-alert Kushnak suddenly notices Erdolliel blatantly disregarding the half-orc's instructions as she begins the swift movements associated with casting a spell. Well, what do you know... Kushnak spotted Erd, and beat her in initiative. Initiative Kushnak (14) Erdolliel (9)

    There's a map here. You maybe shouldn't read too much of the material there, but the map is good. I've voted best house that you are somewhere on the south side in the vicinity of that huge bathhouse building (the really big thing, check the mouseover text). So, you are close enough to being...

    Neth currently has two full CLW wands and a third with 45 charges remaining. He currently does not possess any scrolls. So Neth should probably make a scroll instead of a wand? Re: Potions vs. Scrolls. In general, potions are nice because anyone can use them. But they are more expensive...

    Day 45 The trio makes way back to Sam's Respite and takes some well-earned rest for the remainder of the day. The next morning, after breakfast, Kushnak and Nethezar set to work crafting, while Erdolliel tries to entertain herself during the down time. Is Neth to be making another CLW wand...

    That's why I asked, "Is there anything else we need to do before moving on?" After Ti posted, I went ahead 'cause I was trying to avoid looking like the :):):):):):):) that I really am. (I.e. the :):):):):):):) who continually waits for very explicit statements of what you are doing.) Maybe I...

    After selling off some of their hard-won treasure, and purchasing needed supplies, the trio sets off to the Artisan's Quarter. Finding the Cold Forge isn't very difficult. In the area around the Cold Forge, much like the rest of the Free City, there are sewer gates in the middle of the city...

    So, the selling is done, and I think you two agreed on buying the stuff o3 listed. Neth is cool with that stuff. Is there anything else we need to do before moving on?

    If we keep the ring, Kushnak should probably keep it. Neth's AC is low enough that he borders on getting hit almost no matter what. (E.g. if Kushnak tried to hit Neth, he'd only miss on a 1. Even if I took the ring, Kushnak would STILL only miss on a 1. Ummm... Don't attack me....)
