Somehow I read that ability as that it splits the damage from one to the other both ways--so the 28 in both cases would be divided between both evenly?Voidrazor said:No energy immunities, but poison and stunning are no problem. Also Oob splits the damage it takes with critters its grappling like a cloaker. So an average d6/level area spell would do 42 HP to the target and 14 to Oob.

Hmm--does Ekilu have the energy resist buff spells? That could be a completely awesome three-way team-up: Ekilu protects Oob, who grapples the enemy and then Treb blasts!Bront said:
Guys, I want to remind you that if you have a comment in the IC thread that is purely OOC, it needs to go here. There are several extraneous comments about game mechanics or other things that are not part of the story narrative that are in the IC thread now, and it's getting a bit cluttered. That's why we have an OOC thread. Just a reminder. 
Rystil - [sblock]Nissa knows several of her mother's admirers, but many are ineffectual or powerless. However there are a few that could aid you.
Proteus, obviously, as a lord of change, might welcome this coup on principle. But offering further change would suit his sensibilities very well indeed.
Tithynos probably is not in a position to aid you directly. While powerful in his sphere, he couldn't aid you in form of arms. But he could interceed with the Seelie Court for you, as he's a pure-blooded fey.
There's a contemporary of your mother, a snow weird she would communicate with titled the Snow Witch of the Bluefire Falls, that could aid you. She seemed to be less arrogant than your mother (an easy feat) , but also compassionate. While remotely situated (like most wierds) on the Plain of Frozen Dreams, she might be able to give you direction on which plans might work.
One of the nobles at Taala's court, an earth elemental that called himself Dire Graves, was a frequent visitor to Clymene. Dire Graves was bound to the earth of an ancient graveyard deep in Taala's territory, one that had been used for victims of unusual diseases and curses. Their descendents, often similarly inflicted, would come to visit their ancestors' graves to find comfort. When they left offerings, Dire Graves would take them to Clymene in exchange for her ability to part the veils to see the cures they would need to stave off their antecedents' fate. As an earth elemental Dire Graves dislikes change and considers altering time to be blasphemy. He would definitely aid you, and if he couldn't aid you directly, he could direct you to someone who could.
Opal Charess, a jewel merchant who had come to Clymene seeking a cure for her father's madness, lives in the city of Bluegorge. Powerful in her own right, this mineral genasi would hate to see the access to the weirds limited. If the time genasi attempt to do anything of the sort Opal will probably know about it.
Tuulu is Taala's oldest offspring, an omnielemental who is next in line for the throne. His father taught him well, often having him sit in on Court sessions, and frequently teaching him the reasons behind his laws and desicions. He is a steady and fair youngling, though still only in his second century of life, not even into his majority by elemental standards. He's scarce more than an eight-year old boy by human standards, but he's the current direct heir, or he was the last you knew.
As for Krysthos, you really don't know what side he ended up on, you really didn't stick around to see.[/sblock]
Bront - [sblock]Iceangel Lake is basically right in front of Taala's castle (though it's a very large lake). The Earth Wall is further west and doesn't contact the lake. In a normal ship it would take perhaps two weeks to get there. In this ship, maybe less than a week.[/sblock]
Kelleris - [sblock]The weirds know you fairly well. Even though you only saw one of them once a year, they found you a fascinating creature and talked (or gossiped) about you amongst themselves from time to time. If you were to send a message to them, they would consider it with due gravity.
The weirds are fairly well protected. Tithes given to Taala are for permission to be put on the road to the weird's lair. There are tests, trials, harsh terrain, and sometimes summoned creatures along the paths, as well as illusion, misdirection, and traps. Those that don't try hard enough don't get to the wierds. And even then you must have an appropriate gift for the wierd personally as a tribute.[/sblock] As a general note, even if you don't have a direct line to an individual, you can send them a letter by messenger, or hire a mage to do a sending or something similar, or do an animal messenger or the like. In a city like Bluegorge you wouldn't be hard-pressed to find a spellcaster for hire.

Cool! Hmmm...so many people, but time is not on our side 
Who said time wasn't on your side? The Kingdom isn't going anywhere! 
Erekose, in response to your comment about having people put allies as well as enemies into their backgrounds: yeah, I find that majorly helpful. It helps poor, overworked DMs when coming up with NPCs, and you can often judge the strength of the character by the people he's surrounded himself with, ya know?

Yeah, my bad Kelleris, I got myself distracted. I need to do a large update, so I hope to do it by tomorrow afternoon at latest. I'm a little too tired and it's after midnight right now, and I don't want to do a half-brained job, so I shall tend to it on the morrow.
