Island Empire Part 2, Mermaid's Rest

Gnurl Whiskerling

[sblock=OOC]Scotley, in case you didn't realize it, I can't use most of the spells in my Runestaff of the Undead Slayer, (see p. 224, MIC -- you must have the spell available on a class spell list and be of sufficient level to cast spells of that level). So, currently all Gnurl can do with the Runestaff is cast Detect Undead, which may reveal some interesting information if cast in this room -- see the spell description.[/sblock]IC: Gnurl casts Detect Undead from his Runestaff, and after he casts the spell with the runestaff, he will pass the runestaff to Mingo if she is within his reach, while keeping the Detect Undead spell active by concentration. [sblock=concentration check]Gnurl is +20 on concentration checks. This check = 21 http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1353021 (wow, wasn't this the perfect time for a natural 1 on invisible castle, especially since natural 1 is not always a failure on skill rolls? hehe)[/sblock][sblock=Mingo]Here, you can get a lot more use from this item that I can. We'll settle up for its value later, but right now just save our asses![/sblock]

Radoon

OCC - Scott, thanks for the clarification. I have updated the only character sheet for Radoon, taking the increase in dex and have modified my last touch AC post.

[sblock=Gnurl]This round the spell reveals the prescense of undead within 60', but nothing more. They must be lurking just beyond the walls or floor.[/sblock]

Where are we?

The room seems to have dimmed and gotten chilly.

OOC: Actions for round 1? Note that at this point there is no visible foe in the room.

OCC: I'm confused. I thought Mingo & Co. and Geoffrey were on-deck while Radoon and "officers" went and talked. Then, Radoon et al. rejoined Mingo & Co. and Geoffrey. Did we move to an inner room at some point? I never realized that....

Radoon

OCC - I was under the same impression. We were all on deck. Radoon took the officers to the side to talk and then we rejoined the guests, but still always on deck.

Gnurl Whiskerling

OOC: Assuming that Gnurl is where I think that he was, namely in the Ward Room of the ship with an undead creature making intermittent entrances and then retreating again, then he will continue concentrating on his active spell to see what other information he can gain, and he will motion to Featherwind to come and rest on his shoulder.

IC: Gnurl Whiskerling's note to self: Next time, have Featherwind on my shoulder when the spell is cast, and then I can do other stuff while she monitors the *m@o#t$h$e!r!-*- undead!

 

[Scotley]

OOC: Radoon specifically called for the officers to assemble in the Ward room when Mingo came aboard. Marienna and Terry went there. See this post http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=3862018&postcount=1577

Thus I began this fight in the ward room below the quarterdeck.

Gnurl Whiskerling, Detecting Undead

ooc: Gnurl should be gaining new information about every round providing that there are undead creatures within range of his active spell. Gnurl also prepares his enchanted morning star to return some nearby foe to the land of the dearly departed.

OOC: Gnurl is about three rounds ahead at this point. The first round he will be casting a shield spell. Since it hasn't actually happened yet, you can bring Featherwind to your shoulder for the detect undead casting. What can I say, I'm feeling generous this morning. If no one disagrees with my post about everyone being in the Ward room inside rather than on deck, I'll adavance the round this morning.

Now when....

OOC: Radoon specifically called for the officers to assemble in the Ward room when Mingo came aboard. Marienna and Terry went there. See this post http://www.enworld.org/showpost.php?p=3862018&postcount=1577

Thus I began this fight in the ward room below the quarterdeck.

OOC: When did the attack occur, and who is present? I think the IC running side conversations have muddled the issue.

Mingo met with Radoon and officers up to post 1595, and then they all moved on deck in post 1596 to meet Geoffrey. The officers moved back below decks in post 1606, leaving Mingo & Co. and Geoffrey on the deck, didn't they? Radoon and the officers "return" in 1629.

Has the DM ruled that the whole group moved to the Ward Room to hear Radoon's story described in Post #1629? At this point, that would make sense, given the arrival of refreshments.

[sblock=Scotley and Leif]From what little I know about 3.5,.... I thought a runestaff was a wizard item that required arcane spell slots to use. If you must have the spells in your spell list to use the runstaff, does this mean that no one in the group can use the Runestaff of The Undead Slayer, because no one casts both arcane and divine spells? That would be a bummer at this point in life. [/sblock]
