(5.24 PBP) Vault Redux (OOC) Fitz's Refresher

[Kobold Stew]

@Kobold Stew - is that correct that you are running off to the East? Like down the hill toward the Kobold Lair? The reason I ask is that it will probably ruin your ruse - there is still a cultist and some Mercenaries trying to catch up that will probably see you go. I mean, I'll roll for them, so they might not notice, or think that Siobhan is just checking the other passage (though the last-to-arrive Mercenaries just ran past her body not more than 12 seconds ago, so they'd probably figure it out either way.)

Everyone is in a huge rush, though, so I'll let the dice decide. Just let me know that it is for sure what you are doing.

My thought was, yes, I was not going back into the glowing cave. That's where the distraciton is, and I thought it would give him at least 2 rounds lead on any pursuers. If the pack-o-cultists are distracted by the voices and the Hyena yapping, that gives Urgan time to get way. Even if some further back start chasing him and aren't duped, he's heading towards the Kobolds for now because that's the way out that he knows. He knows it, there's less light, it's a location few of the pursuers if any will have ever been -- I thin they will ber more cautious than the orc. None of that is true with the glowing caves.

I’ve been tracking rounds - I forgot to mark it since my last post. I have 2 rounds left (including this one). Unless you think it took longer than 5 rounds to for everything to happen since Torhak died.

What round did you cast it? I thought it was right at the start, and this is Round 11.

I cast it as I retreated. That would be round 1 or two. If 11 rounds have passed, then it’s over. I thought less had passed.

FYI, I'll be out on vacation for the next week so unlikely to be able to post until next Friday. Fell free to run Bjorn. He has 7 rounds left on the moonbeam spell in case those cultists come our way.

I've run this adventure, I think it is six times, and I have never had anyone fall in the gorge before. I've known what happens for all but the first time, but I haven't had to use that knowledge.

Ought to be interesting, is all I can say.

I think it's been about half an hour (most of the time was carefully crossing the lake by kayak and sneaking past the stirges) since the telepathic connection was established. So if it isn't concentration and/or Darius hasn't been bashed about, it should still be going.

Thanks, so it still should be up. It also doesn't say it requires concentration so I think short of being knocked unconscious it can't be broken. So I can still us it but currently it only has a 50 ft range. Normally it's 30 ft and I boosted it to 50 using a free psi die. So I can't use it to talk to the group that fell but I can use it to alert those around me of the torchlight.

Besides the idol, are Shamal and Torhak missing anything else on their character sheets?

@Kobold Stew
Any advice? If there's healing potions, I could quaff them and try to ambush Bardaby but I think that's suicide.

I could try the teleporter but I have no idea how to use it or where I'll show up. The Green Cave would be suicide...ideally, Merrick would show up at the Kobolds and rendez-vous with Urgan.

I could keep searching further into the lair since all the mercs and cultists are now distracted and heading away.

I don't think I'm in a position to offer advice. Staying alive should be a priority. Getting shot to death trying to operate a teleporter is no glory, but you do you. You know (or have a good idea) where Urgan has gone.
