HAPPY HOLIDAYS to All!!!!!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Well, at the moment, it may well do us some good to get our hands on it, again. Could make dealing with the constructs much easier.

The rod of rulership would make dealing with everything easier...but remember that you have to get some distance from your dumber party members before it can be safely used.

You can also rule undead.

On another note, could someone direct me to the questions that need my comments? I know I need to describe the river mural. Anything else I need to talk about/comment on?

I hope you all had a merry christmas - I'm looking forward to a happy new year!

You can also rule undead.

Who wants to rule them when you can explode them into tiny bits of undead-fliggins?!

I think it's worth-while to have it around - should get it through the ring gate. That last little beef with the construct and its dolls was rough - can only do that a couple more times before we all kick it.

Additionally, when ruling the constructs, we can attempt to give them clever instructions even if the dumber party members are in the range of the rod... simply saying, "Stop attacking" or "Halt" shouldn't cause any harm if they oblige. All we have are PCs and NPCs that *aren't* attacking.

If they don't obey, then we go through with the attacking - telling a beast that is not responding to the rod to attack, while at the same time telling the PCs to attack just leaves us with the status quo: fighting.

I think that is valid reasoning... however, if it isn't, blame the lack of sleep.

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 also think that this is the case. Just remember that constructs are very stupid, and trying to elicit information from them is essentially a fool's errand. They will take commands from their masters to the best of their abilities.

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.

I also recommend that you get down. It's time to groove.

That was a joke.

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

NEVER!

But seriously, the river serves to connect the pictures that the mosaics on the wall present, implying continuity between the isolated scenes on each of its 8 walls. The stones that represent the flowing water are a clear, crystal blue - unusual for any water flowing underground, which tends to be rusty (but still drinkable). The scenes above the "river" are all historic, dealing with the founding of Khaz Barok, and then important events and battles that follow.

That's what comes to mind immediately. If you would like to know more, you may ask.

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

Yes you do.

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!"

That's the plan, as of now. However, I'd still like to know what you want to be doing for the 9 mo.-1 year of montage (in general terms). If someone has a specific vision or request, I'd be glad to talk about it.

Jansten would like to take a closer look/read through/put in his bag of this manual as soon as he sees it's metal cover.

It's an iron golem manual, as described in both the DMG and SRD.

Not to beat a dead horse, but did Jaine ever decide how she was going to explain her pregnancy? It's something she has to do pretty soon, before people get suspicious.

Jaine has decided what she is going to attempt to do. However, before her decision can come to light, there are other events which must first take place.

Justice's Plans for the Future (in no particular order):


(1) The Isle

Assuming that the undead are able to regain control of the Isle, she will send her followers to begin the restoration of the tombs found there - passing any and all documents along to scribes working for the Phoenix Kingdom for copying and the like. The tombs should be like shrines to the great saints and Justice wants to make sure of it.


(2) Varis' Palace

Once we finish taking Oceanus, Justice wants to get moved into that cozy palace with her hubby.


(3) Question the High Bishop

Justice has some beef with the High Bishop or whatever his title is of the Apectan church. She's got questions the she needs answered or she's forming her *own* sect.


(4) Spies like us!

We all know what this ia about.


(5) New Dresses.


(6) Finding Mom.


(7) Fighting Dad.

Hopefully without the thought or added input of the Bluestar's thoughts on the Apecto, his temples, his religion, and his sainthood......
