Island Empire OOC, (Closed)

I believe all those are from Spell Compendium. I'll try to get the info together for you if you don't have that one.

I have it, I just didn't think to look in there. duh.

OOC: Okay, I've got some players at morning and some still several hours behind. Once the Laggard's catch up, Captain Marin has some information to share.

 

[Leif]

Gnurl's ready for morning now

 

[Leif]

Scotley and everyone else

I highly recommend that you all read the phb preview on the opening page of ENWorld. It's cool in a way, but quite distressing in a way, too. All in all, while 4ed may have its place in the rpg world, I still come down on the side whose mantra is: "LONG LIVE 3.5!!!"

Radoon

I will be out of town the rest of the day and all of tomorrow. Scott, please take care of Radoon as you see fit.

Thanks.

 

[Scotley]

Will do, have a good trip.

Thus ends the saga of the halfling Mingo Frasse and her human companion Anson. The bards' tales of the heroic fight in the tower being all that remains. The dreadful Sea Sorcerer's reign of terror was still not ended at the time of their deaths, but that is another story....

So where does the story stand at the time of Mingo and Anson's deaths?

Finn is near death and hiding near a far wall. H'Roosh is near death and fighting the rider in the middle of the room near where Mingo fell. Gnurl is at about half strength, and remains invisible not far from Finn. Radoon is on a balcony, at half strength. Geoffrey is also near where Mingo fell, and he is also at about half strength. The almost unhittable barghest rider that killed Anson is greatly weakened, but the one that killed Mingo is near full strength. The scribe is down, and Balmal is standing behind his desk.

What amazes me is that judging by the monster manual entries for Barghests, we should have been able to wipe them out in short order. Right??

I think that's correct, but the party is a little weak on attack spells and melee fighters. Scotley did upgrade the greater barghest rider a little, I'm not sure about the rest. At AC 30, he's almost impossible to hit for this group, not to mention the DR 10/magic. And that unholy sword is, literally, killing us. Nothing like having the monster use their double normal treasure during the fight. The early round critical hits didn't help us either--the dice were against us.

 

[Leif]

Well, whatever the reason, it sure is a REVOLTIN' development!
