JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

[LordVyreth]

I believe it was standard for Bodaks...Fort DC 15. Bad rolls...

Three fairly high level characters, dropping to a DC 15 Fort save? Those must've been bad rolls. No wonder Bethshaba found the party so amusing. My party largely realized the cloaks/vests of resistance are among the best deals in the game, and maxed them out as soon as they could? What about your group?

Shame Kiko and Grimm didn't charge into the room to focus on the bodaks earlier. Between them and Rusty, they could have slaughtered the bodaks in a round, while everyone else closed their eyes. Sure, it left the blackguard with a lot of targets, but creatures with death gaze take priority, especially since the party could have outnumbered him seven to one.

Well as bad as everyone was rolling Kiko never opened his eyes the whole encounter I thought it was safer that way.

What level was revivify?

 

[Neverwinter Knight]

Now NWK, that was almost painful.

Ugg...the pain of bad puns!

Sorry folks, couldn't resist...

Caine's departure is still a few updates away. True, I have the next one, but it will be the conclusion of the Black Egg. ETA...perhaps sometime this weekend. Early next week at the latest. Then, Joachim will post the beginning of Soul Pillars. THEN...when I next post, we will detail Caine's adieu.

Well, that's something to look forward to. I'll have a look at soul pillars again, to try to find out which encounter could have been Caine's demise. Let's see, how far could they have come in session 2...

What level was revivify?

Revivify is a 5th level spell. I thought that it worked like Raise Dead though so would have been ineffective against raising someone subjected to a death effect.

Hmmm...I will have to check that. I just looked at the SRD, and Raise Dead specifically says it does not work for death effects. I dont have the Minis book in front of me, but I am pretty sure it does not specifically say that. Unless Revivify specifically references Raise Dead (which is to say that it says something like 'functions as Raise Dead'), it should work against death effects.

Wathros rolled a total of 14 (natural '5' or so)

Dalthan rolled a total of, like, 6 or so (Fort saves not the sorceror's specialty)

Caine rolled a natural "1".

Bad rolls, all.

Oh,sucks .I'm pretty sorry that you are bowing out of the game Gfunk.You know,it's not easy to find a kindred,sorcerer-loving,powergaming soul.I hope the best to you for any of your life's other endeavors.I also wish wholeheartedly that you manage to find some small window from real life to devote in roleplaying again.

On to the game now!The rest of you will have to work double-duty now guys!
And a little question for Wathros.What in the Nine Hells was he thinking charging bodaks and a half-dragon blackguard with a piddly Produce Flame?!
I think he deserved what he got.

We all asked the same question...

Prophetic words my friend...
