OOC Kingdom of Ashes V - Brood city, baby!

[The_Universe]

So if she went with anything she would become a wizard- cool beans

That is what I was hinting at, yes. Wizardry is also more in the Bluestar's idiom.

Treasure!

Also there is treasure:

Hidden among the corpses that adorn the strange construct's spikes, you see the glitter of gold, and the promise of something more...

As you cut the remaining "dolls" down from their perches around the small kitchen, you find a few more items of interest, none of which would be of any use to the dead.

You find therein: A Potion of Mage Armor, a Potion of Barkskin (+2), 1 potion of cure light wounds, 1 Scroll of Eagle's Splendor and Sound Burst.

You also find a +1 Undead Bane Javelin of Distance and a +1 Heavy Steel Shield of Blinding and Arrow Deflection.

But perhaps of most interest, you find a book whose covers are made of a slightly rusted iron: on its cover are the words (in dwarven) "Iron Walks the Earth." It is an Iron Golem Manual.

And then there was the 3000 gold pieces.

Oh! I want a doll Eck!

seriously though, Unless someone else wants it- the undead javlin just looks like fun and it's for well, undead which we get practice killing and it's ranged. Nto hording all ranged though, so if someone else wants it just ask Farathier would have been the competitor in past
I can give up some of the mass of weapons L'Aurel is holding right now (something I have been meaning to do actually).... since she uses one maybe two weapons... just don't expect much as they are not pricy items
Not sure why the 'of distance' was added? tried looking it up SRD Javelins are only ranged weapons or else -4 penatly without some feat to over come it.

I think distance increases its range increment by 5 or 10 feet. Let me see if I can dig up the description.

Here it is:

Distance: This property can only be placed on a ranged weapon. A weapon of distance has double the range increment of other weapons of its kind.

Moderate divination; CL 6th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, clairaudience/clairvoyance; Price +1 bonus.

Just post anything you want added to the resource list and I'll add it. I'm very bored. Please give me something to do.

Maybe some musings/speculations/questions about the following things could keep you busy:

1) Now that you're in Khaz Barok, what are you looking for? Any speculation as of yet?
2) Once you get this done, what's going to happen? Where are you going? What are you doing? I wouldn't be averse to taking a small narrative break and fast-forwarding time a bit (say 5-7 months?) once this is over...let some of the war happen without playing out every battle.

Whether we do that, or not, what's the Circle of the Phoenix going to be doing? Where can they be most useful? What needs their involvement? Spiritblades? Something else?

a +1 Heavy Steel Shield of Blinding and Arrow Deflection.

So I know on some things you can esentially say 'turn off' does that work for things like Arrow Deflection as well. If an ally takes this and I try to shoot them with a healing arrow can I say turn off the Aroow Defelction? or would they have to drop the shield?
Not sure who can would use a shield anyways for our group, but figure I'll ask in case someone takes it and uses it

Some initial rambling thoughts

Maybe some musings/speculations/questions about the following things could keep you busy:
1) Now that you're in Khaz Barok, what are you looking for? Any speculation as of yet?

Well, even though it may have been Quarion's magic in part it seems that all hints lead to the dwarves heading and doing most of the building- so something that they would appreciate. Perhaps we should either alter self to one of the front guys to be dwarves or let Xath go first (think altering front guy better idea) so that perhaps as last time we could possibly get some information out of the constructs instead of just obliterating each one- just no spanish!

I think we also seemed to agree last time that sticking to the middle levels is good. The really deep ones weren't built in Quarion's time so would be there. Does Xath have an idea on levels and time frames- any checks for stone age? No more dwarves in the party.

There was that picture/mural with a river connecting it all.... could be a clue.

Again any idea from Xath how far down that might be?

2) Once you get this done, what's going to happen? Where are you going? What are you doing? I wouldn't be averse to taking a small narrative break and fast-forwarding time a bit (say 5-7 months?) once this is over...let some of the war happen without playing out every battle.

I think either back to the bluestar or send a message to him saying walls down, and then heading to Caer Albion to make sure fighters get ther okay at the very least.

Not adverse to fast forwarding either. This would mean that we still act as the great generals of the army that we are, we just aren't rolling it out, RPing it out, or getting experience for it right?....

We may also want to/need to know what Jaine decided before the fastforward happens, since I think 7 months is at or past her due date. Maybe something RP at least we all want to be around for?

Whether we do that, or not, what's the Circle of the Phoenix going to be doing? Where can they be most useful? What needs their involvement? Spiritblades? Something else?

I always like the idea of the group going for the spirit blades- and we are getting the point of more dangerous covert getting them back from Tain situations. We have very few left on the list of which are just out there possibly. Most are accounted for -either Tain or Bluestar's hands. Tain's winning on that score by the way......

I like this also for meta gaming reasons- sorry have to say it- this would be more one-on-one action agiainst NPCS instead of with NPCs against NPCs in the middle of a huge over battle type of scenarios.

By the way these are just first ramblins and first personal feelings, not saying I am dead set or pushing for any of these things... just when questions asked what I first thought.

Altering as a dwarf is a good idea, however, it'd have to be either Xath or Justice, since they're the only two who speak Dwarven. Also, they're the only two with moderately respectable bluff checks. (I believe)

I think we also seemed to agree last time that sticking to the middle levels is good. The really deep ones weren't built in Quarion's time so would be there. Does Xath have an idea on levels and time frames- any checks for stone age? No more dwarves in the party.

We are currently on level 1 of 5 main habitable levels. Archon fell through to level two. The levels built during Quarion's time are 3-5. I use the term "level" loosely, because each level is 30-70 feet deep, with multiple sublevels. However, I think we still need to go down.

There was that picture/mural with a river connecting it all.... could be a clue.

Could we get a written description of what that looked like?

I think either back to the bluestar or send a message to him saying walls down, and then heading to Caer Albion to make sure fighters get ther okay at the very least.

We need to go to Caer Albion to activate the teleportation circle.

Not adverse to fast forwarding either. This would mean that we still act as the great generals of the army that we are, we just aren't rolling it out, RPing it out, or getting experience for it right?....

I know Mik would be interested in seeing what happens to the kids before the end of the campaign. I wouldn't be adverse to the prospect myself. After all, every movie should have a good "Montage!"
