Thanks. She's primarly an archer. Her mace is something of a back up weapon and I couldn't see her taking her full equipment to the feast, especially since at the time she wasn't a member of the hidden shield.

 

[Hawkeye]

Good point. I favor your second proposal over my original one. I agree that in-fight healing to prevent easy killing of downed friends is valuable.

Ditto I guess. Something in the back of my head, but can't quite verbalise it.

Questions:

1. If we somehow come up with 50k and manage to save the city from some terrible calamity in spectacular public fashion by spending it, would past experience lead us to think we might reasonably expect to recoup that expenditure from the city? (Especially if we get a receipt )

2. If we somehow come up with 50k and manage to save the city from some terrible calamity in such a fashion that the average Waterdhavian citizen has no idea there was ever any danger, does the likelihood of our making good our expenses change?

3. Is Lord Peregion a Person of Means, and would he be able to front the extra 10k if he were so inclined? Does it seem likely he would lend his assistance to such a venture, particularly if it increased the odds of saving his daughter?

4. If we spend the 40k in the organisation accounts, how badly will it affect our normal operations in the future? Do Dyria, Shando, Crimson, and Fin together have sufficient authority to make a decision involving that 40k?

1-2. the Lords would probably reimburse you whether or not it became public.
3. Yes, Peregion could front that, either himself or with city money. It is also assumed that other Lords are extremely wealthy as well.
4. It would make things pretty tough. Lots of money flows in and out and there needs to be a decent buffer. Odds are that if not reimbursed, you'd need to borrow about that much money from a bank.

4b. Yeah, you have the authority

5. If it turns out stopping this demon tonight directly relates to defending Peregion and/or Aleena, you can bill it back to Peregion as an expense incurred in the performing of your duties.

I'm back and ready to roll.

Ditto. THe group by the dead drake is back.

As to the house rules...to be honest I do not quite understand the recovery rule, but if everyone is good with it so am I.

Eek - I thought that was going to be a lot worse than it was!

Its an undead swarm, so terrible will saves, no fort, extra dmg from alethia's spell, no con, and extra dmg from area effects.

Yup. I just figured that they'd be immune to both Energy Missile and Deific Vengeance, as "spells or effects that target a specific number of creatures".

I looked at who we had there - immunity to weapon damage would make Dyria and Shando effectively useless, and Alethia and Crimson don't really have any area attacks, and nearly all I have is fire-based... I was guessing there'd be some fire resistance in there.

I figured we needed our warlock with his Eldritch Cone, and without him, we were screwed (Though if I got a chance for a full round action, a summoned air elemental's whirlwind might help.)
