Rana steps in, her touch managing to avoid Granite and discharge against the creature. As the positive energy pours into it, black flesh swells and splits, pouring forth a cloud of smoke and flame, which pours towards the coffin. Nothing is left behind save dwindling pieces of ash.

Well, militia progress up until 1700's-equivalent tech; it's true that after that point, improvements are in the form of more work-intensive weapons such as rifles and breech-loading weapons, which are too expensive to give to untrained troops. A concern for game balance: numerical superiority...

Rana steps backwards, barely managing to keep from stumbling over the syllables in her haste to protect herself. Skreg darts in and brushes against Granite, leaving a shimmering aura of force behind him. Granite hurls a flurry of blows against the creature, but it manages to nimbly avoid them...

Human is fine; paladins are mighty thin on the ground. It might be better if you gave me an address I could email details to; it'd go faster than a trial-and-error process.

Since Ferrix hasn't said anything since the initial post of interest, I think we still have a slot open. Unfortunately, that particular character concept doesn't really suit the campaign for a number of reasons. A) The party is already quite caster-heavy. B) The area you're going to has next...

I don't mind updates, when they're balanced, and this appears to be one of the cases where they are.

Would you mind sending me the text of any altered spells? I haven't decided whether or not I'm getting Complete Arcane yet.

In spirit combat:

Remember, we'll be fighting amongst ourselves, to some extent. You can always make temporary alliances with us, and then throw us to the wolves when it suits your purposes. Oh, wait; no, you can't. That'd be evil. Edit: left out a verb. But really, who needs verbs?

Hurray for eternal night! This makes me glad that all of my subjects have darkvision.

Blue Genie made tentative mention of those two, and a few others, but we've not heard anything else since; I think if you asked definitively for the Scarlet Brotherhood you'd get it.

Given Rana's absence in the previous conversation, I'd simply imagined that she'd just heard the conflict now, and had a very brief period of time in which to prepare. Given the creature's attack success rate, though, you'd probably be alright retreating and adding in more buffs, if you think...

Why? What makes him suspect a vampire? What kind of vampire leaves burned corpses and travels in a cloud of smoke and fire? Curses! They're onto me!

Rana's hammer of force smashes into the walking corpse, blasting it backwards. Silvermoon's fiery bolts lash out, but the creature dodges them, and they splash fire across the wooden bulkheads. The scent of woodsmoke is now thick in the air. Granite's blows again fail to find purchase. The...

I'll allow Hammer of Righteousness to affect undead, but not objects or constructs. I probably won't be able to fill in the combat post until after my morning classes; sorry about the brief delay.

Silvermoon transforms Granite's body into the monstrous figure of a hag, which then lashes forward with unnatural strength; unfortunately, the ducking and weaving undead is able to slip past the blows and deliver a brutal strike to the (no-longer-a-)dwarf's kidney. Again, fire courses through...

"Stealth is advisable; Alyshia, you will probably be best able to enter and receive a good reception."

Silvermoon's spell informs her that the creature is highly resistant, but not immune, to fire, and that only enchanted cold iron will be able to properly bite its flesh. Granite pummels at the creature again, landing one blow that weaves past its defenses and hammers it solidly in the throat...

Silvermoon rolls away, dexterously somersaulting over a chest and landing behind Granite. Invigorated by her magic, Granite launches a vicious assault, and manages to land a single solid blow on the creature's chest. The leathery hide absorbs most of the impact, but a definite edge of...

Silvermoon's fiery bolts lash out, two striking her target solidly in the chest. Its blackened skin flakes slightly, and a few wisps of smoke waft away, but it seems scarcely affected. Granite's second charge is executed much more gracefully, but the hammering right arm is partly deflected by...
