Industrygothica's "Those Left Behind" [OOC]

Re: Dink
I honestly thought it was a tyoh as well.

Thanks for your support, SD!

(Shayuri: note my preservation of the "tyoh" in Herr Dewar's post! See, I can learn new tricks!)

Well, in all fairness, I was recruited originally to play a cleric because of the party's needs. And Uulark has grown on me somewhat, even though I do regret sticking him with that crappy name. hehe I appreciate your accomodating remark, IG, but I'll remain a cleric. Maybe I can find a PrC that he can qualify for that will help somewhat? Just a thought.

He's gotta survive, first. He's in for a rough night.

typoh that is

Well, yeah, of course you do have a very good point. My former preference was to keep a positive attitude about the situation until doing so was no longer feasible. But, given our experience of similar things, I suppose that Uulark's "jig" may very well be "up." And, honestly, most likely is up. I shall begin my grieving process now and beat the rush. Wahhhhh!!!!!!

[sblock=Leif Gets Ahead of Himself, IG]And, honestly, IG, I've already got some ideas about a replacement, if necessary and permitted. Like Uulark's younger but much more likeable brother who has been devoted to quiet devotion and scholarship until now, but may soon feel the adventuring pull to avenge his fallen brother.[/sblock]

Eagle's Splendor Scroll

I realize that Uulark has no idea what those arcane scrolls are that the party just came across, and he probably doesn't even know anything about the spell Eagle's Splendor, but if some kind arcane-type spellcaster will use that scroll on him, to at least delay the inevitable, he will be most grateful and will repay however he is able.

 

[Leif]

Thanks, Shayuri, I definitely owe you a big one for this. But, don't worry, IG, I know Uulark isn't out of the woods yet, and may still collapse into a puddle of goo before he gets there. I've already made peace with this idea, so let the chips fall where they may.

 

[Shayuri]

No worries. You need it more than anyone else.

Hopefully it does you some good! Dice can be fickle. And +2 to Cha checks isn't a whole lot...

 

[Leif]

These are very good points. But, under the circumstances, I think we've done about all that is possible to do.

Question: Have we officially leveled up, or do we need to rest before that takes effect?

I ask because this level Shai gains wildshap, which might be useful in the current circumstances. I'm really new to using wildshape, so please pardon me if I have to talk out the math. I'm honestly not rules-lawyering so much as trying to get this all straight in my math-deficient head:

I believe Wildshaping to a Black Bear would get Shai 40 ft movement even with Uulark. If I have 19 Str, quadraped carrying capacity right, he can carry up to 174 lbs and still be only lightly encumbered. And Leif was good enough to describe Uulark as "90 lbs soaking wet," so he and his equipment are still under the limit. That plus Shai's Endurance feat might just "get them to the church on time," as it were.

Of course, that priest may decide we're agents of evil if it doesn't work and another chaos beast winds up in his temple...

Leveled up?? Again? Didn't we just level up? And Uulark's movement is not 40' currently due to encumbrance. So if it doesn't work out that he can be toted by a bear ("Bear Totem"? hehe) he will be leaving a trail of his heavier possessions behind him, and trusting his friends to save them for him later. (Or sell them to at least get some more loot out of the deal if he doesn't pull through this.)

Anyway, jkason, thanks for trying so hard to save my useless butt!
