    (Adventure) The Island of Varras'zul (Manzanita Judging) (Concluded)

    OOC: Let's make it simple and go for the money! "Nice working with you, guys!" says a grinning Ogrin with a purse full of jingling coins. "Should you feel the need for my skills, I'm open for employment and can usually be found in the Red Dragon tavern! Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm late for a...

    "Fine, whatever, that'll give me more money to spend on ale. Perhaps we could find an arms dealer willing to make a trade - sometimes you can get a better deal out of the items if bartering for items instead of gold. I'm interested in a weapon with magical properties; Anything sized for a...

    The last one to leave the ship, Ogrin looks Mona straight in the eyes. "Farewell, lass. And a safe journey. I..." Ogrin bites his lip and never finishes the sentence, instead walking away from the ship, kicking a nearby barrel in frustration. Later, when the party is dividing up the treasure...

    Ogrin stands dumbfounded for half a minute, then retrieves his dagger. He then heads back towards his quarters after passing by Rillians hiding place, muttering "I'll grow a tail and whiskers before I'll understand women!" He'll sulk the rest of the journey and refuse to tell the others why.

    Thoughts On The Challenge Rating System

    Heh... In one of the first 3.0 adventures (Attack on Myth Drannor), there's an illithilich trapped in a tomb. The adventurers are meant to open the door and the monster, seeing an opening for escape, will mind blast the heroes and run for it. Naturally, the situation as written is rather...

    "None of the others have read your note." Ogrin answers truthfully, and switches the subject. "They worry about you, lass. You lock yourself into a room for three days, with a book that already is known to warp minds! They fear we released something on that island, something evil that must not...

    OOC: I had assumed that after four days at sea, we would all be fully healed. Scun should wake up after two days (if the attention from the ships physician counts as long-term care) and could use healing spells on day three which should be enough to bring us back on our feet. On the other...

    Rillian: "One hour after midnight. Head up there some time before, find an inconspicous place to hide, and wait for us. I'm not much for allowing wizards to cast spells on me if I can avoid it; bad experiences, you know?*" *) See background.

    "I'll see what I can learn during the evening, and we can discuss tactics in the morning, when you spell-slingers have had a good nights sleep. Fair enough? Razh, you probably should join Nezrak and Scun... you don't look to well. Was it the stew?" Nimisgod and Rillian: At a good opportunity...

    "Well, is that such a weird thing, to finally let down your guard when you've found what you've searched for; finally on safe ground or water or whatever and on your way to fulfill your goal? I, for one, feel quite relaxed, knowing that those bugs can't swim and there's a large ocean between us...

    When the discussion mentions of the stone doors, Ogrin shuffles his feet and avoids looking Razh and Rillian in the eyes... "Well, ah, um... there is that small matter of the collapsing floor... "Anyway, I'm just glad we're off that accursed Island. Even if we released something, it might not...

    OOC: Don't expect much updates from me for a week or so. Release day at work on thursday, plus the fact that I'm leaving for a two-month stay in the US on monday. A little bit stressful to get everything in order before I leave... NPC me if Ogrin by some miracle wakes up before the weekend - his...

    Does Ray of Frost + Piercing Cold + Sneak Attack = A decent option?

    Dwarven Warbread anyone? :) I would definitely say that the feat applies to sneak damage, as it is of the same type. Besides, the feat seems quite underpowered to me. It requires the spells to be used in a higher level spell slot. It's effective using one single elemental form against...

    "Augh!" Blood spurts from a vicious wound across the halflings shoulder. He whirls around with the shock of the impact and falls where he stands, his vision dimming as he sees the horrified look on Monas face. OOC: Good luck guys! Don't forget the halfling!

    OOC: Hm - my post yesterday apparently didn't make it. Retrying... Ogrin draws his rapier and newly-acquired magical dagger before closing in on the beast as carefully as possible. He follows through with an attack. OOC2: Fighting defensively, tumbling if necessary to avoid AoO. OOC3: Some...

    "We shouldn't rest here. In fact, we shouldn't rest until we're at the beach. Remember, Nezrak spotted some kind of spidermonster while we camped; I'd rather not let it sneak up on us while we sleep. Let's clear the swamp while there's light, and we can use the last of our oil to light our path...
