    occ Isn't the wand of wonder something for Alora. I can see her take aim at Stradh and say "Do you feel lucky?".

    Or possibly "Someone needs a tickle! Someone needs a tickle!"

    Does it still have any charges left?
  • lockmundlockmund Member Posts: 354
    It began with 81 charges. Garrick/Lyrrick didn't use it that much. He got the evil eye from Skie every time he pulled it out after the fireball-incident. ;)

    Neera would be a killer with that wand in hands... She could actually have a chance of controlling what it can do :)

    @CrevsDaak to save @LadyRhian a bit of work I have looked up Imoen's thieving skills from the Tomb of Horrors thread. Your base skills are: Pick Pockets 25%, Open Locks 25%, Find/Remove Traps 10%, Move Silently 20%, Hide in Shadows 15%, Detect Noise 15%, Climb Walls 60% and Read Languages 0%.

    At first level you get 60 points to put in your skills and each level after that you get thirty points. You cannot put more than half your skill points into one skill per level. (For example, at first level you can't put more than 30 additional skill points into Pick Pockets. So the highest you could get in that skill at first level would be 55%. At second and subsequent levels you can put a maximum of 15 additional skill points into each skill).

    OOC: Now distributing those 240 (30x6+60=240) :D Pretty!
    Pick Pockets 25% + 75% = 100%
    Open Locks 25% + 0% = 25%
    Find/remove Traps 10% + 0% = 15%
    Move Silently 20% + 0% = 20%
    Hide in Shadows 15% + 10% = 25%
    Detect Noise 15% + 75%= 90%
    Climb Walls 60% + 0% = 60%
    Read Languages 0% + 80% = 80%

    Yet, another OOC: Much RP choices here, I won't be powergamerish this time, but I got 100% in undress clothed creatures and in rob Kivan his clothes. :P

    I'll be mostly away from the internet until sunday, I think. if we come to combat consider Khalid will try to stand in the way of whatever is attacking to allow the spellcasters and ranged characters to attack. If he goes below 25% HP then it's "Best part of valour" time.

    Minsc basks in the comfort of familiar faces and friends of the past. Nodding with approval at Jaheira and Khalid and even managing to smile at Alora's antics.

    OOC- is anyone able to identify the glowing sword?

    I have to work all day for the next two days, so I won't be able to update for a bit. Sorry!

    [OOC]
    1) Xan seems to be AWOL?
    2) You said a scroll of restoration (5), is this 5 scrolls, or one?
    3) This +3 mace I picked up, is it identified, or not?
    [/OOC]

    Quayle looks at each adventurer in turn. It seems that not only is he the only cleric, he's also the only d̶i̶v̶i̶n̶e̶ arcane caster. He therefore adjusts his spellbooks to contain: 2x Identify, Mirror image, PfE, cure light wounds, and yes, Chant.

    He picks up the glowing sword, the other two +3 maces, the scroll(s) of restoration, and all of the gems. He leaves all of the coins where they are as they will only weigh him down. He casts restoration on Minsc, and afterwards feels so exhausted that he looks for a sunny spot, lies down, shuts his eyes, and falls asleep.

    If he wakes rested, he will attempt to identify the glowing sword. If the 3 maces are not identified he will identify one as well, unless there is something more pressing to identify.

    In AD&D, you can have more than one spell on a scroll. So it's one scroll with 5 uses of Lesser Restoration. And yes, Xan does seem to be AWOL. Maybe after Thanksgiving he'll be back?

    And the +3 Maces were identified by Aerie before her demise.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    "Let me look at the glowing sword! Please! Let me look! I might know what it is."

    With furrowed brow Alora studies the glowing sword.

    "Hmmm, interesting. It could be ... or perhaps it's .... I think it might be ...."

    "I'm pretty sure it might be a magic sword," she announces, looking pleased with herself.

    We need to hear from the people that play Xan and Faldorn. Are you there @Fighting_Ferret ? @Evinfuilt need to select Faldorn's equipment from the somewhat reduced stack (and also respond to Jaheira's insults).  ;)
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Encouraged by her success at identifying the sword, Alora thinks she must be experienced enough to Use Any Item. Maybe it would be a good idea if she had a look at that scroll of restoration and tried to cast some spells on Minsc?

    If people die I'd like to come back as Jan.

    Quayle dreams ...

    ... of Kivan's ... of Kivan ...
    ... of Alora's feet ...
    ... of hippos swandiving off a cliff and landing on him ... wearing tutus ..
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    @Evinfuillt You there, Faldorn?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    ::Sigh.:: I know someone wanted to play as Xan, but I can't remember who. And I can't find the conversation. ::Sigh.::

    A couple of posts up Lockmund bumped @Fighting_Ferret as Xan & @Evinfuilt as Faldorn, I assume that's correct.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    Yes, that's it. :P on me.
  • Fighting_FerretFighting_Ferret Member Posts: 229
    Sorry, weekend in the country away from technology...

    I'm playing as Xan, but I have no real need of equipment, I have a good +3 weapon and spells.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    @Fighting_Ferret I could think of a few things. Some nice Bracers of AC6, The Ring of Protection +3, Cloak of Protection +1, Robe of Useful Items, Scarab of Protection (+1 to all Saves), Periapt of Wound Closure, and/or Wand of Paralyzation, Ring of Spell Turning, Ring of Mammal Control… Those would all be useful in living longer and expanding your capabilities as a mage.
  • The_Potty_1The_Potty_1 Member Posts: 436
    @Fighting_Ferret I left you the Bracers of Defense AC6, and there's still a Ring of Protection +3,
    Cloak of Protection +1, and Scarab of Protection (+1 to All saves). I'm not sure if the rings also boost your saves, or just AC, and probably you can only wear one. Also a Wand of Paralyzation (40 ch). If you don't want them I'm happy to grab more.
  • CrevsDaakCrevsDaak Member Posts: 7,155
    Everything in this post is OOC:
    @LadyRhian can Imoen use the scarab of protection?
    And also, there are chances of I dual-classing at some point, but first I wanted to ask if I can research for new mage spells, or I only can learn new spells from a scroll?

    @Evinfuillt You there, Faldorn?

    OOC: I am now, going to double check why I'm not getting notifications. Here we go

    Faldorn will take
    QuarterStaff +2
    Ring of Mammal Control
    Ring of Protection +3
    P. Plant Control
    Protection from Petrification
    Protection from Undead
    Wand of Paralyzation
    Bracers of Defense AC6

    Spells... Chromatic Orb for all level 1 spell slots, web for all 2... and lightning bolt for my one third slot. 16 wisdom is just shy of 2nd level 3 spell slot, oh well. But I get 2 bonus level 1 and level 2 slots. So that is 5 chromatic orbs and 5 webs (okay too many webs..)

    Make it 5x Chromatic Orb
    3x Slow Poison
    2x Web
    1x Lightning Bolt

    Now to see how to respond to this situation.

    Jaheira turns to Faldorn "Ugh, I see that you came along for the ride shadowed one. And what in the name of sanity have you got on your head. Is that hair? It's a blight on the landscape. Better to have let it grow wild!"

    You spend too much time in the city child... The first thing you think of is insults, while we are mired in this unnatural place. Let us put away our differences for once and deal with the graver evils in this land. Nothing here feels right, nothing. It makes me skin crawl just being here.

    OC: And once again - AFI (Away from internet). As is the situation around the holidays for me sadly.

    IC: "Does anyone know where the nearest exit is? It is my sworn duty to combat evil - and no doubt some evil exists here. But with no clue as to where we are, how we came to be here nor knowledge of one another I can't help but feel that remaining here in the dark is perhaps not the most tactically sound choice. It would be wisest to regroup, gather information and return better prepared and better informed. I am not one to run from a righteous fight - but I am also not one to charge into one ill-prepared."
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    @Evinfuilt Druids don't get Chromatic Orb. Or Lightning Bolt. They *do* get Call Lightning at 3rd level, but that only works outside under the open sky. Likewise, they cannot use the Wand of Paralyzation, as that is Magic-User/Mage-only. The rest is doable. She *can* use the Wand of Metal and Mineral Detection.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    They also Don't get Web. Entangle, yes, but not Web.

    "Me-ow, cat fight!" Kivan watches the exchange with enthusiasm.

    Way back, I requested Avenger sub-kit for her.
