Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jeremy" data-source="post: 1541975" data-attributes="member: 4036">There!  All caught up.  Heh.  Number of comments, I'll add --'s in front of them to seperate my thoughts from the words that spawned them. Leaving Miles, fast asleep, on his own, in the Underdark.--Damn.  Harsh. Despite inflicting further horrendous injuries, this barrage of blows and spells was too much, and his broken body fell to the ground, covered in gore and mushrooms.--Ah phooey!  What happened to Deathless Frenzy?  Or did it take that many rounds to drop him?  <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" /> "Oh, he'll catch up. After he's woken up, anyway."--Sure.  Or after he's animated. "You ba***rds".--Indeed.  I might have snuck up on the party whilst they slept, gagged and kidnapped one, and placed him in an usafe cave to wake up alone.  'Halbrinn?  Nope.  Haven't seen him.  Gone when I caught up.' ...but failing to touch the majority, whose reactions were near-superhuman in speed. {DM's note - how boring is it when 5 out of the 7 members of the group have evasion?}--Not boring at all!  Incoming!  Everyone dodges, backflips, dives aside, in an almost anime burst of movement then returns fire.  It's very cinematic.  Besides, what's the fun of having a high level party if you can't do super hero stunts? Rand, his cohort, and Aeron were left inside the blazing wall. Aeron began to cast his preparatory 'suite' of combat spells, prompting Rand to shout at him to do something else.--Sounds like Aeron needs to either invest in some spell phylacteries, get a metamagic rod of persistant spell, or get him a cohort that is a really good advance scout so that instead of getting ambushed thrice daily, they can have advanced knowledge of what's coming up and buff BEFORE half the party is being thrashed.  ;D  (As well as some serious ranks in Spellcraft.  Shame on you!) 'impetuous bloody psychopaths spoiling our aim'--Hah.  Yeah.  Move!  WE want to kill the buggers! Aeron, the party's cleric (and wannabe Divine Oracle, although he certainly hadn't seen this one coming) caste Haste and then, to the others' disgust, moved 20 feet into the cavern despite their exhortations that he should ignore his usual panoply of spells and just "get stuck in". --You'd think he'd predict and prebuff..  He fights less like an oracle and more like a warpriest.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  And a follower of Tempus at that!  Shouldn't Mystran clerics use the occasional spell?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  Or at least group buff instead of solo. ...slashed straight through Rand's already battered body, dropping him to the floor in two separate pieces. Aeron continued casting spells on himself...  the surviving group members was screaming at him to step into the combat, or to heal the poor duellist, who was at that very moment spilling the last of his life's blood onto the cavern floor. He choked, coughed, and was still.--Uh.  Way to go.  At least he wasn't sitting in his room praying this time.  Egads man. Miles heard a strange sucking, slurping noise coming from the sorceror's head.Turning the body over (it had been face down to allow Miles to remove Rand's cloak), he was horrified to see that Rand's left eye was protruding slightly from the socket on a short stalk.--OW!  Hey!  I can see in the dark now!  And that doesn't worry you?  Nah! Later, Miles showed him the collection of items which they party was carrying around, and Jason was allowed to help himself to a superb suit of Fortified Full Plate, as well as a handful of other magical weapons, boots and rings.--Ah yes.  The fun problem of a PC dying somewhere but the party still having his gear.  Instant economy surplus as a new PC shows up fully loaded but the old PC's stuff is still there.  <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 Yvgeny was interrupted as the earth beneath him burst upwards, and an enormous mandibled creature smashed through the floor of their cavern, slashing out at him with tremendous claws.--Good lord.  These people need the magnificent mansion spell so bad it hurts.  I've lost count of the number of melee range ambushes.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
