X4: Master of the Desert Nomads - IC

[Walking Dad]

Feeling the coming oppressive heat the morning before (take 10 on survival to know weather) Girgal prays for magics that will help him and his group to survive the heat.

Girgal gives advises to the others to help against the worst of the heat (survival take 10= 29, gives everyone a +4 on fortitude checks to avoid heat dangers).

On himself (and sharing with Ripclaw) he casts Endure Elements.

"I cannot use all of my magic to shield us all from the heat. If one of you feels paticulary bad, I can cast somesting on him to cool down! Try to relax and to shield you from the midday sun."

"Thank you, Girgal, for your valuable assistance!"

"Unfortunately, my magic is ineffective in protecting us from this heat. My thanks Girgal, your assistance is, as always, invaluable. " Rajah rasps, despising the intense sun and heat of this place.

"Looks like we are in for a hard trek," says Aram, wiping sweat from his brow with the back of his forearm.

"You frail hyoo-mahns need to eat more rocks! They help you to tolerate these extremes better!" Whereupon, Bevin bends down and grabs a handful of small rocks, appears to toss them in his mouth, and makes a grand show of swallowing forcefully.

"Eat all the rocks you want, friend Bevin. I'll rely on my ring of sustain me until we can find some food worthy of eating."

"This is nothing I would advice to the rest of our pride, but whatever works for crazy beardless desertdwarf." Girgal says with a wink.

ooc: spot check to counter sleight of hands (1d20+15=26)
Damn, that was near. Girgal is still suspicious about eating stones

 

[Jemal]

Nargon whipes his brow "Would it not be wiser to seek shelter until the heat has passed? Larger men like myself are rather susceptible to heat stroke."

Bevin Rockhammer, Crazy, Beardless, Rock-Eating Desert Dwarf

Bevin looks around for someplace nearby that is sheltered enough for our entire group to get out of the sun.

"Truly, it was a horrible mistake for us to even try to travel in the daytime. We must not do that again unless and until we are out of the desert. Let us locate shelter from the sun immediately, and become nocturnal. This plan is sure to make Rajah feel more at home."

 

[renau1g]

Rajah snaps his fingers as he considers their current dilemna"I can create an area of magical darkness that might be able to protect us from this intense sun. It does nothing for the heat, but at least we won't get burned" Rajah says

[sblock=OOC]
kinem, not sure if that would work.
Darkness:
This spell causes an object to radiate shadowy illumination out to a 20-foot radius. All creatures in the area gain concealment (20% miss chance). Even creatures that can normally see in such conditions (such as with darkvision or low-light vision) have the miss chance in an area shrouded in magical darkness.
