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

[stonegod]

It appears the majority of the group wishes to go down the hole. I'll need a rough marching order. So far, it looks to be:
- Ladreth/Marot in front (how far ahead?)
- Jarrith
- Tessa

Not sure where Janis or Ashlyn want to be (haven't heard Ashlyn's opinions on the mater. All okay there, Stormwind?)

 

[James Heard]

Janis is generously allowing anyone who wants to go ahead of her the opportunity.

 

[s@squ@tch]

Ladreth and Marot should be far enough ahead that any light source held by the others doesn't interfere with their darkvision (and Marot's See Invisibility)

I would say ~ 20 - 30' should be enough at most.

In a pinch, Marot can touch Ladreth and zap them both back to the party (the range on flee the scene should be 40', and he can take up to 2 others with him)

 

[Stormwind]

Yeah ... some connectivity problems on this end ... Should be sorted now.

I would suggest Ashlyn and Ladreth at the front with Marot just behind (since Ashlyn can sense undead and she and Ladreth are the tanks =))

 

[stonegod]

In a pinch, Marot can touch Ladreth and zap them both back to the party (the range on flee the scene should be 40', and he can take up to 2 others with him)

...up to maximum load for Marot, which is 130lbs. Not enough to jump with either Ladreth or Ashlyn.

I would suggest Ashlyn and Ladreth at the front with Marot just behind (since Ashlyn can sense undead and she and Ladreth are the tanks =))

But Ashlyn does not see in the dark. It'll be shadowy illumination for her, FYI

I don't have Complete Arcane, so I use the crystalkeep information, do they contradict?

Warlock Invocations at Crystalkeep

Under Flee the Scene, the text reads; The invoker may bring up to his maximum carry load and one willing, Medium size subject per 3 levels.

(Emphasis on the 'and' is not mine)

I could be interpretting this wrong, but it seems to me that the invoker can bring all his gear, plus one additional medium sized creature per 3 levels. It looks like Flee the Scene is a less powerful Dimension Door, as range is "Close" instead of "Long", but the verbage seems to look like it is less weight dependent.

 

[stonegod]

CrystalKeep is wrong here. The wording is 'as the dimension door spell except the range is short' plus the bit about the image. The limit is from D-Door.

Edit: And yes, it is less powerful (as an at-will ability of this type should be).

 

[s@squ@tch]

That makes baby jesus sad, no zapping for anyone but Marot.

Warlocks are generally selfish that way, anyway.

[Ashlyn detects a moderate strength undead somewhere ahead towards A3 on the map...]

I just want to check, but since Ashlyn's Detect undead sla works like Detect evil, then a moderate strength undead should be between 3–8HD ... is that correct?
