Message: <blockquote data-quote="the Jester" data-source="post: 909549" data-attributes="member: 1210">Re: AwesomeStill straight wiz/sor... at this point, he was wiz 7/sor 6.Neither, because it was superhot.  It was more the heat that he enjoyed than the wind per se.  As far as that goes, as a Fire subtype creature he's totally immune to heat damage. Hm, good question.  I guess it's more just a matter of style- there have been a couple of times when I sort of half-expected him to turn, and it would've been pretty useful.  I think turning undead is one of those moves that gets less useful as the pcs advance, though, because high CR undead tend to have lots more HD than CR.Nope, he's an npc.  He probably wouldn't still be with the pcs if it wasn't for Sybele- he's been trying to get her to retire from adventuring for the sake of their baby!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  Fat chance.Oooh, complicated one!  I'll put some info up over there, but a good start would be to read the Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny- they're unabashedly stolen from the series.  It starts with Nine Princes in Amber, then the Guns of Avalon, Sign of the Unicorn, the Hand of Oberon and the Courts of Chaos.  Fantastic reading.  There's a second series as well, but the first one is far better.  Nonetheless, I'll put some info up on the other thread.  (Players, stay out!!)Heh.. isn't this actually three questions?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />  He actually uses his powers to command one of the living holocausts (which are both air and fire elementals- they're in the Fiend Folio).  This is a high-level elementalist ability; for more on them you can check out the Cydra Yahoo group I started, in the files section there's a Word doc that details the elementalist.  He's actually only a first-level paraelementalist (as you get higher level as a paraelementalist you have to have more favored elements as an elementalist; to be a magma p.e. you have to have both fire and earth, to be a smoke p.e. you need both air and fire, etc)/13th level elementalist.  As for his arm, not yet, but as soon as there's time Orbius plans on it!What happened to him- well, after depositing him at the Temple of Elemental Good, Orbius told the high adept to take him to Galador's temple, where he received instructions- basically to go attack the Temple of Elemental Evil as soon as possible.  As long as he's on the quest the effects of Galador's geas are mitigated; if he stops, they'll come back, only even moreso.  (If you'll recall, he took a 12-point hit to each ability score!  Moreso probably will kill him.)  As you'll see, Galador's definition of attacking the Temple includes some fairly indirect questing for a weapon against Felenga- at this point, Felenga is Galador's biggest concern.It's 99% James' work (well, the other James- Lester's player).  I have enough to worry about.  He is an npc, though, and I do reserve the right to take a hand in his control.  I actually am much more prone to do so with Habiskis (Sheva's imp), however; there have been several occasions when he's pickpocketed members of the party, for instance.Ooops, you're right- I left it out!  IIRC, Horbin hit her with a break enchantment almost immediately after the fight.Well, it isn't quite every day... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  But I hurt my back camping last weekend, and so I've had the last couple of days off while I convalesce, so I've had some free time.  Also, when the boards are down I usually work up the next couple of updates as a Word doc then cut & paste.Back to work tomorrow, though!Er... I need to confer with my players about their conversation with the shade of the Last King of Dorla, and, er, it's on my list, I swear.Thanks for mentioning it- I keep looking at the link in my sig and putting it off, when people remind me about it- well, let's just say a little prodding helps.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Thanks for the kind words!</blockquote>
