stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

Yes, but spell completion DCs are a joke. DC CL+1? Just how bad has our luck been?
I'm just pointing out it is not automatic. And know at least one person who as rolled a 1 recently on a roll they prolly didn't wish they did. But Jarrith's better now.

*shrug* If we could get a hold of Druid Ice Storm scrolls that would be better, but we'd have to have a more flexible timeline to manage that (assuming Janis made them herself).
 

After perusing the various plans, I would suggest that we can combine most of them with Jarrith's basic plan for now and make changes as necessary once we arrive there.

I would also suggest that we take full advantage of Marot's D.Door ability and that we form a 'kill squad' to takeout the green lady and/or any spellcasters (the kill squad consisting of Marot, Ashlyn, and Ladreth). If Marot, Ladreth, and Ashlyn suddenly 'port next to the green lady and are able to eliminate her quickly, it should improve our chances of surviving the battle.

Once we have time for it, it could be a good idea for Janis to craft a number of scrolls, but that also depends on whether the emerald claw agents allow us that much time ... somehow, I doubt it. For now at least it would be great to check what scrolls Bildrath and the caravan have available.
 

I already wrote it IC, but I like Stormwind's suggestion of the kill squad. Depending on the scrolls we may or may not get, Janis and Tessa could cast the spells right before the other three 'port into the ruins to go after Green Lady. I think that's a good one.

At this point, unless anyone has anything else in-game they need to do... our next step would be to speak to the equipment people to see what scrolls they might have. Then we should probably get on the road and get up to the ruins to scout and select our positions.

@stonegod: Ashlyn will try and buy a scabbard for the 'sunsword'. Just something simple and practical.


@All: Given that they have a scroll of remove curse available, I think we should take it. Since Ashlyn, Ladreth and Janis were all bitten and Jarrith is possibly still affected, I think we need the insurance of another remove curse.

Note that after this we need to be certain who is afflicted and get rid of the damn affliction.

Casting a lesser restoration on Janis might also be smart, and even though Tessa has it on a scroll, I think it would be worth it for us to take the lesser restoration scroll too.

Regarding the cure light scrolls, I suspect that we don't have such a strong need for them due to the fact that we have Ashlyn's sacred healing for healing up after each battle. However, if Janis or Marot would like any, then by all means.

As far as the fireball scroll goes ... Sounds good to me, probably best if Tessa takes it <grin> ... at least she seems to like playing with fire :D

Regarding Bildrath's wares, well call me paranoid, but I'm not sure that I would trust him not to poison us with the potions ...

Sniff. Even the paladin has trust issues.

Color me confused, but I have no idea what you are talking about. Could you reference a post?
 

Marot could hold onto and use the scrolls of remove curse and/or lesser restoration -- in case Tessa gets incapacited.

How does one get a CL4 Fireball?

I doubt we need any more CLW potions or scrolls -- Marot has the two scrolls to use, and CLW is kind of too weak for our party levels at this point to make a huge difference in combat. :\

Someone should put that cloak to use that we found on the fey -- could be a good item to have against the verdant lady.

Being a 4th level artificer. You can create scrolls as if your CL was 2 higher, but the actual CL is your CL. So a 4th level artificer can create 3rd level arcane scrolls, but at CL4 instead of 5 or 6.

Stormwind mentioned perhaps giving the cloak to Ladreth, who would then pass his cloak of resistance +1 off to someone else (I'd suggest Janis). That seems to make goodly sense to me.
