joriandrake: hello Simon
Smon: Hello all
JamesDevil: Hi simon
Keelia: I just realised that I hadn't written down I have TWO level 7 spells. so I have one extra option!
Keelia: Hi simon

DESTROYERBILL: i am so offended right now
joriandrake: I will just be happy to survive this, am not even level 20 yet and the succeed on save or go to zero hp stuff is hard for me, have one of the lowest modifiers for a Con save
Smon: Angry Mesmalatu https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZxCcgPPYHzSM9C4dgPjMk1APnjA1vWLuRKbiixPbjxG17rjAJPn76zGmzNGjLXWN6tIh6SZqCFQP8t88eIM-W2hQtfrpNKKnnODwpPVMx9rJIWy1d6nvZYnXAouMyCiqtU5ZSuwY_VazO/s400/Mesmalatu.jpg

Smon: Meanwhile you can see SB flying down from above.
Sandor Sunneson: any advice colleagues?
Sandor Sunneson: Should Sandor charge it?
Smon: SB you can't see the demilich currently but you see your agitated comrades as the doors down the tunnel fling open.
DESTROYERBILL: cover your ears
JamesDevil: beginning soiling yourself?
joriandrake: (wham it so it can't do an area-wide death blast? no clue)
Keelia: "No, don't charge, long range if you can."
Keelia: "Even better if you can keep it from moving closer."
Sandor Sunneson: Cover your ears?
Keelia: "It's got some sort of auditory attack that may kill us."
Keelia: "If it gets close enough."
Smon: Fergus I'll give you 2 minutes to post from ...now
Sandor Sunneson: I'll cover ears and stay with the group
Smon: Sandor hunkers down covering his ears.
Smon: #22 The Demilich - it comes 5' down the tunnel and screams - everyone except SB roll a DC 15 CON save or drop to 0 hp; Sandor you can have +1 on your roll.

Smon rolls 1d2 and gets: 1
Keelia: or, I'll just go roll up a new character, shall i
Sandor Sunneson: I'll cover ears and stay with the group
joriandrake: q hp doesn't mean you're dead yet
joriandrake: 0
DESTROYERBILL: your fine your just on 0
Smon: OK it can see all of you except SB and targets you with a kind of necrotic vortex of black mist; DC 20 Religion to ID it.
Keelia: but it's lair action might be the soul suck
joriandrake: (covering ears only gave you +1 to save Fergus, not sure it is worth to give up your whole turn)
joriandrake: - no religion here, but I'll try
joriandrake rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 9, (+4) = 13
joriandrake: nope
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 7, (+5) = 12

Smon: (sorry q save was before lich lair action not after - pass)
Smon: #15 Shieldbiter, you are about 60' up. You heard the howl but cannot see the d-lich.
Keelia: (yay, not dead yet. over to you guys )
Smon: (@Keelia does Quillax have CON save prof from training?)
DESTROYERBILL: ill go down a bit and shoot at the demi lich if possible
Smon: DC 15 perception
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 9, (+7) = 16
Smon: OK when SB gets down to about 30' he sees the skull in the tunnel
Sandor Sunneson: well rolled Bill

Smon: SB puts arrows in both eye sockets
Sandor Sunneson: boom
DESTROYERBILL rolls 3d12+24 and gets: 3, 2, 3, (+24) = 32
Smon: ok it has resistance so 32/2 = 16 dmg
joriandrake: powerful arrows those
joriandrake: and I guess the gems in eye sockets are shattered
DESTROYERBILL: when you have str 30 every hit is a powerful one
JamesDevil: wait it has RESISTANCE AS WELL?
Smon: No the arrows slightly cracked the gems
Keelia: Simon did say before it was like resistant to everything.
JamesDevil: i must have been afk
Smon: SB flaps back up 25/2 = 12' up, 42' total, and grabs the wall 1-handed, auto succeed.
joriandrake: well, it is a lich, so probably mostly immune to magic too, I won't even try it on him...her..or it
Smon: Demilich legendary action

Smon: DC 15 WIS save Drak
joriandrake rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 6, (+7) = 13
joriandrake: fail
Smon: Drak is Cursed (save ends) - disad on all attack rolls & saving throws
Smon: #15 Drakhaien your go
joriandrake: so, the shaft down here, does it have some sort of teracces or such, to be able to land higher up and still have line of sight?
Keelia: Simon, if I'm brought above 0 hp, can i make a move immediately when i'm conscious?
Smon: No - SB made his own perch on a DC 27 Athletics check auto pass
Smon: >>can i make a move immediately when i'm conscious?<< only on your init
Keelia: thx
joriandrake: understood
joriandrake: Drakh rushes dazed to Quillax
joriandrake: not sure how far she is from him
Smon: About 10' - ok Drak gets to Quilax
joriandrake: He uses a keoghan's on Quillax next (whatever the healing dice of it is)
Smon: Drak takes an action to rub in ointment to Quillax (deduct 1 dose) - NO EFFECT!! The black mist around you is preventing healing!
joriandrake: then uses remaining movement with his Cloak of the Bat to try flee/fly upwards, it won't be much distance but better than nothing
Keelia: 2d8+2
joriandrake: great
Smon: Drak takes an action to rub in ointment to Quillax (deduct 1 dose) - NO EFFECT!! The black mist around you is preventing healing!
joriandrake: cloak of bat is 40 move, moved 10 already so I guess 30 feet upwards as turn ends
Smon: Cloak of the Bat says it is an Action to use?
joriandrake: turn end, move/fly and item use spent my turn and action
Smon: sorry misread it
JamesDevil: hang on a second, have i missed a go? i was on the same int as Bill
Smon: just object interaction, so you could bonus action fly too
joriandrake: no, it is attuned, it needs dim light or darkness, however you said last time that is fine, I alsu flied with it here down at start
Smon: all 3 of you are on 15 James, you last
joriandrake: I was same too James, you come now
joriandrake: bonus action fly too then
JamesDevil: ah, k
joriandrake: the more distance the better (and sorry Keelia)
joriandrake: end turn as such
Smon: Drak you have 70' of fly & can fly 70' up
joriandrake: that Drak does then
joriandrake: not sure what the range is from the edge above to land tho
Smon: It's a long way up
Smon: Drak roll (w disad) DC 15 WIS save to end Vile Curse
joriandrake: (well, at least I can prepare myself better above to go down again if I can)

Smon: 2 rolls
Smon: disad
joriandrake: great
joriandrake rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 20, (+7) = 27

Smon: #15 Claw - you are Frightened so cannot close distance on demilich
JamesDevil: Claw turns around, grabs Q's body and starts climbing as fast as he can

Sandor Sunneson: Sandor will follow his comrades and start climbing as fas as he can
Smon: OK Sandor DC 20 Athletics check

Smon: Yes fear ends end of your turn
JamesDevil: sweet
Smon: Sandor what is your STR score?
Sandor Sunneson: 18
Smon: have to roll then
Smon: (you auto pass up to DC 18)
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20+10 and gets: 5, (+10) = 15
Smon: OK... Sandor fails to climb up. The skull seems to be laughing at him...
Smon: #22 Mesmalatu
Smon: /roll d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 6,
Smon: The demilich tries to eat Sandor's soul... roll DC 19 CHA save Sandor (no prof)
Sandor Sunneson rolls 1d20 and gets: 1,
Sandor Sunneson: lol,
JamesDevil:
Smon: Sandor's body ceases to exist... one of her gem teeth glows brightly as she falls back 30' into the cathedral.
Keelia: Um...guess we have to kill it now
joriandrake: we would have to anyway, but yes
Smon: #20 Quillax roll a death save
Keelia: Someone get me up
DESTROYERBILL: well your not dead yet you are in 24 hours if we dont save himbut not dead
JamesDevil: we tried healing you, it didn't work
joriandrake: (not it might, no mist)
Keelia rolls 1d20 and gets: 17,
joriandrake: now*
JamesDevil: 've a got a potion of healing we can try
Keelia: just have to get me out of the black
Smon: Quillax passes. The black mist seems to vanish.
6:30pm 2019-5-18 Sandor Sunneson Has exited the room
JamesDevil: sweet
6:31pm 2019-5-18 Sandor Sunneson Has entered the room
JamesDevil: is the skull below us? or are we out of combat?
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 15,
Smon: The skull retreated into the cathedral.
Sandor Sunneson: About to have dinner, will log back on after
DESTROYERBILL: i say we come back in 24 hours and regroup okay
Smon: The shaft trembles violently - Claw & Drakhaien roll DC 19 DEX saves or fall.
JamesDevil: ok, Claw is going to head back and feed a potion into Q
Smon: sorry not Drak
6:32pm 2019-5-18 Sandor Sunneson Has exited the room
joriandrake: I am flying, not climbing
Smon: Drak is flying yup
JamesDevil Rolls 1d20+2x2 and gets:
18 (+2) = 20
18 (+2) = 20
Smon:
Keelia: question, does a crystal count as stone?
Smon: Claw can have Inspiration for that!
joriandrake: thank gods you didn't drop with Q in tow
Smon: #15 SB
DESTROYERBILL: i fly higher to escape if thats what everyone else is doing
Keelia: (crap, i forgot i had inspiration)
Smon: OK SB flies up 40'
joriandrake: (as long you live, you still got it)
JamesDevil: I've headed back down to heal up Q
Smon: #15 Drakhaien
joriandrake: Not sure Drakhaien knows what happens below, but he needs both hands to fly (weakness of cloak) so he needs to land somewhere to do anything, he double-speeds again, 80 feet more up
joriandrake: end turn
Smon: OK Drak heads up the very tall shaft - you'll get out ok
Smon: (you can fly 120' actually Drak)
joriandrake: ok, Drak lands on edge to ready up to go below next turn
joriandrake: (ah right, notmal speed double plus bonus, thx)
Smon: #15 Claw you are 20' up w Quillax, are you still climbing up?
JamesDevil: can i feed her a potion while i'm holding on?
Smon: DC 25 Athletics, auto success
Smon: takes an action

JamesDevil rolls 2d24+2 and gets: 5, 23 (+2) = 30
JamesDevil: woops
JamesDevil rolls 2d4+2 and gets: 1, 3, (+2) = 6
Smon: Quillax wakes up on 6 hp
JamesDevil: can i still move? i'll carry her up another 20' if i can
Smon: R3 - the doors slam shut as the Demilich heads off to digest. I'm going to say you're out of combat
Smon: (no it is an Action to climb, unless you have a Climb speed)
Keelia: doors?
JamesDevil: ah, k
Smon: The damaged double doors to the cathedral
Smon: Are you going upstairs for short rest NOW?
JamesDevil: Claw will climb down and start using Keo on Q
JamesDevil: o, right, lets go do that
joriandrake: well... not knowing this once Drakh lands he checks if Nondetection is still active (it works for a hour, but I have cast it before the start of the short rest that got abrupted, might have already ended)
Smon: /roll d100
Smon rolls 1d100 and gets: 78,
Smon: it's ended
joriandrake: ok
Smon: GM: OK the survivors get up to the ruins above, through the illusionary floor.
joriandrake: Drakh using elven eyesight checks if the others survived, he looks into the hole from the edge
Keelia: Ok. We need to go rescue S.
JamesDevil: each keog contains 5 doses right?
Smon: You can rest in the ruined tower on the l
Smon: lake
Smon: yes
JamesDevil: we will, let heal you up a bit
joriandrake: "Can he still be? Wasn't he eaten?"
JamesDevil: "We'll damn we try"
JamesDevil: "where SB?
JamesDevil: "
Keelia: "His body got absorbed into a crystal. We can get his body back and res him if we smash the crystal."
joriandrake: "We need to defeat the demilich anyway, or we can't use the portal.... where is that ghoul?"
JamesDevil: ooc is Bill still playing simon?
Smon: he is typing
JamesDevil: ah, k
JamesDevil: i have a plan that i need him for
Keelia: question - does stone shape work on crystals ?
joriandrake: (did the undead flee, or got destroyed by the lich?)
DESTROYERBILL: a soul sucked victom of a demi lich is still alive for 24 hours though his phisical body ceased to exist but his soul is still around and when we retrive him by shattering the gems him and his possesions will return
DESTROYERBILL: he not him sorry
6:43pm 2019-5-18 Sandor Sunneson Has entered the room
joriandrake: the dragonling seems to be an expert on this
DESTROYERBILL: i do my reasurch on all monsters from the bestiarys
joriandrake: "Well, we are at a disadvantage now, those attacks of the skull are no skull-joke, and the demilich knows where we are and likely expects us back"
JamesDevil: "ok, heres the plan, we rest up a bit, then head down and kill that damn thing, SB i've got a couple of heroism pots that will prevent the fear effect and you and I are the ones most likely to resist that insta kill
DESTROYERBILL: i am well versed in the work off volo and mordenkahinen and my arch mage freind has his own bestiary i study as well
joriandrake: Drakhaien will ask to loan out that bestiary, seems worth to study
Smon: map of Leng embassy https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG4uP0ESQucVV7vHjYFT4HcoIHlsZTkKvyGJLpXmPoU_cGRCwM3BLEirhkIGZxG5NdcSHxnZFQa5jw31yp_-FdgryC2pzlRrIvtTCBsec9y810noCDBT1hxDeHNAy6iXrymR7M8yQ2dUfG/s640/Leng+Embassy.bmp
DESTROYERBILL: yeah
Smon: Pit is the SW chamber
joriandrake: To be fair, Drakh has not much to gain from a short rest, so just as last time I offer to keep watch again
JamesDevil: "Does that sound like a good plan to everyone?
JamesDevil: I don't have any hit die left anyway, i'll use some keog on Q
joriandrake: (I was always on edge to fail a roll, like the HP one, but ended up not being wounded)
joriandrake: oh nvm I am wounded
JamesDevil: each keog contains 5 does right?
joriandrake: I forgot the necro damage
Smon: Morcruft went back to his lair room.
DESTROYERBILL: i need some healing i recntley faught 4 djinni princesses and only had 3 hit dice left so i still need some healing
Keelia: 2d8+2
Keelia: for keog
JamesDevil: Q only has 6hp
JamesDevil: you'll be fine
Keelia: use it on yourself, i've got HD
joriandrake: I lost 22 hp at throne room
DESTROYERBILL: yeah good point im only 19 off max 343/362
joriandrake: I will also use HD then after all
JamesDevil: you sure?
JamesDevil Rolls 2d8+2x5 and gets:
1, 1 (+2) = 4
5, 1 (+2) = 8
1, 8 (+2) = 11
6, 4 (+2) = 12
8, 7 (+2) = 17
Smon: GM: Secure from view in the tower ruins, you complete a short rest (1 hour passes)
Keelia: yes
joriandrake: (I think our issue here is the curse and auto - zeroed hp ability, not actually losing much hp at once)
Keelia rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 5, (+2) = 7
joriandrake rolls 2d8+4 and gets: 8, 4, (+4) = 16
Keelia rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 1, (+2) = 3
Keelia rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 5, (+2) = 7
Keelia rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 3, (+2) = 5
joriandrake: eh, I spend another hd
joriandrake rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 8, (+2) = 10
Keelia rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 1, (+2) = 3
JamesDevil: like i said, SB and I have a decent chnce to avoid resist it, and we can counter the fear effect with the pits of heroism, we'll attack it head on and you guys can range ity
Keelia rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 8, (+2) = 10
joriandrake: (max hp, which isn't a lot, 129)
Keelia rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 2, (+2) = 4
DESTROYERBILL: im immune to fear anyway
Keelia rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 8, (+2) = 10
Keelia rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 4, (+2) = 6
JamesDevil: even better
Keelia: 61 hp after my remaining HD
joriandrake: Drakhaien hopes we can get a battle with demilich at ap lace where the elf can have a decent distance from it to shoot with bow from a better position
DESTROYERBILL: the killing thing is the soul suck she can have more than one soul at a time
joriandrake: "YOu want me to be able to shoot at the skull, it is the best for all of us, maybe we can lure it to a good location?"
JamesDevil: "we'll go and scout it out, it might already be in a good place"
Smon: GM: btw one of you can attune to the nightmare rod now if you like
DESTROYERBILL: anyone got good chraisma saves
joriandrake: "It sensed me, but was unable to pinpoint me when I sneaked to the throne before, so Nondetection-Invisibility might work for scouting"
joriandrake: "I can do such a spell combination once more safely"
Smon: https://aonprd.com/MagicRodsDisplay.aspx?FinalName=Nightmare%20Rod
Smon: (You stole the rod as it can be used for the ritual to open the portal to Leng)
Keelia: do i need to be attuned to use it for plane shifting?
joriandrake: (yes, but then we would leave Sandor behind)
Smon: Someone needs to attune it to cast Nightmare from it as part of the ritual
Keelia: (i'm not talking about leaving sandor behind, but i was wanting to find out exactly what simon just told us )
joriandrake: Necklace of Adaptation didn't help a lot until now, no vapors, breath attacks and such, so I could swap that out to attune the rod instead
Keelia: fine with me
joriandrake: ok, Drakh takes the rod then
Smon: In order to activate the portal, a character must expend
a nightmare or plane shift spell (either from spells known or
prepared, or by using a magic item that allows one of these
spells, like the nightmare rod in area E9) while pouring a
handful of abysium powder (obtainable at area E5) into the
fountain. Alternatively, destroying
or deactivating the abysium reactor and destroying the
demilich Mesmalatu causes the fountain to malfunction.
In either situation, a creature that then partially or wholly
immerses itself in the water and leaps into the silver mist
in the pit is transported.
joriandrake: .... eh, the damn reactor
Keelia: we have the powder already
JamesDevil: two options, eitherway we're killing the damn skull
Smon: ok Drakh attunes the nightmare rod - he can use it to cast phantasmal killer on someone he hits with it (no action) or nightmare
joriandrake: I wonder if the demilich would be weaker if the reactor is deactivated
JamesDevil: probably just very angry
DESTROYERBILL: (jokeingly) you shouldent speak ill of the dead
Keelia: interestingly .... "destroying the demilich Mesmalatu causes the fountain to malfunction"
joriandrake: .... is t he reactor room large enough for a good placement for aan attack and a range for shooting with bow?
JamesDevil: only if the power plan is destroyed as well
Smon: "destroying the demilich Mesmalatu causes the fountain to malfunction"
That's what the Whisperstone told you.
joriandrake: I mean, I assume if we deactivate the reactor the demilich might go check out "the disturbance i nthe force"
joriandrake: If the room is large enough for our intent of combat, we could try get the battle there
Smon: map - 5'/square - https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG4uP0ESQucVV7vHjYFT4HcoIHlsZTkKvyGJLpXmPoU_cGRCwM3BLEirhkIGZxG5NdcSHxnZFQa5jw31yp_-FdgryC2pzlRrIvtTCBsec9y810noCDBT1hxDeHNAy6iXrymR7M8yQ2dUfG/s640/Leng+Embassy.bmp
DESTROYERBILL: brb
joriandrake: the lightning bulb place is the reactor i guess
Keelia: yes
Keelia: where we got the dust
JamesDevil: os SB and Claw could stand on either side of the doors to the skulls room, someone range attacks it and SB and I keep it locked down
JamesDevil: or*
joriandrake: unless I am mistaken, it would still just be 40 feet from door from the end corner in middle of room if we start the battle there, not ideal
Smon: You do remember that the reactor is super radioactive right?
Keelia: yes, but we have dust, so we don't need to do it again
joriandrake: right, skull room, it might be enough to just lure it to the corridor, that should allow Drak to also shoot at it from 120+ range, hopefully
Keelia: and the reactor is neither here nor there, we've got to save our companion first
JamesDevil: yep, SB and claw will hold it in place
joriandrake: I didn't consider the room because the dust, but because I assumed we could lure the demilich there by deactivating the reactor, but the place is not too good for combat either
joriandrake: ...however, we could position in the corridor for an mbush, THEN deactivate the reactor to get the lich move out, I could do that, while flying, then rush back to help in battle maybe
joriandrake: move out of its own room*
joriandrake: (my max turnly speed only flying seems to be 120 feet, I might miss out on one or two rounds though)
JamesDevil: sigh, lets just stick with opening the doors to the skull room, then either SB or Claw will throw something to get its attention to draw it out
joriandrake: fine with me, as long it moves out onto the long corridor
Keelia: Simon - i'm curious, would stone shape work on crystal? It's a type of stone, isn't it?
joriandrake: but those who go throw stuff at it might be in the range of its death blast area
Smon: >>would stone shape work on crystal?<< Yes I would say so, it is a stone object. May be 5' on a side max.
Smon: Can reshape a stone object of medium size or smaller. Range is touch.
JamesDevil: you fancy getting that close?
Smon: eg you could reshape Sandor's gem into a little Sandor shaped crystal stick figure.
Keelia: I don't fancy it, but I might be able to pin it down. I've got boon of speed with my air elemental form, gives me speed and I can get through the keyhole.
Keelia: If I zoom in, and stone shape a crystal and bind it to the floor, I could use my bonus action to disengage and GtFO
Keelia: Then it's stuck, we just open the door and distance attack.
JamesDevil: hmm, will that blow a spell slot?
Keelia: Yes. but not one of my high ones
Keelia: I could also potentially wall of stone it into a narrow area and make the crystal too large for it to pass.
JamesDevil: ok, worth a shot, but if things go side ways GtFO and we'll go with the doorway bottle neck plan
joriandrake: what is the max distance I could in such case use from corridor to have a line of sight on the door of the skull Simon?
DESTROYERBILL: he is curently afk
joriandrake: ok, getting coffee then
JamesDevil: what was the range on its attack? 30' for the 0hp thing right?
DESTROYERBILL: yeah
Smon: yup 30'
JamesDevil: excellent
Smon: Stone Shape does not increase the mass of the shaped object BTW
Smon: >>what is the max distance I could in such case use from corridor to have a line of sight on the door of the skull Simon?<< refer to the map I keep posting
Keelia: no, but if I can meld a door to it's frame, I should be able to meld a crystal to a rock floor
joriandrake: back
joriandrake: is a square on map 5 or ten feet?
joriandrake: and which room is the skull's?
Smon: 5' like i told you
Smon: the west room off the big room with the green curtain
Keelia: Alternatively, I could have the floor rise up and grab hold of the skull like a podium of sorts
joriandrake: stone cage?
Smon: Quillax roll investigate
Smon: Drak too
Keelia rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 4, (+5) = 9
Smon: (fail)
joriandrake: passive would be 31 but I roll
JamesDevil: ooc I just thought of a cool Rock Band name - Skull Cage
joriandrake rolls 1d20+16 and gets: 5, (+16) = 21
joriandrake: 26
Smon: OK Drak - Quillax's plan is not really practical in combat, but if the throne were Shaped while it was dormant on it, that could work.
Keelia: excellent
joriandrake: I will tell her then, that the stone of the throne itself might be shaped while it is asleep - if asleep -
joriandrake: "This also means we would need to fight in its own room"
JamesDevil: if its pinned down that would be easier
joriandrake: ... "but (as far I read the map right) that room is quite large and has a long hallways/corridor from the door to the throne, I could use that to shoot from the end of it near the door"
Smon: yes
Smon: but note the stairs up
joriandrake: "...and, if you lock the skull into the throne it owuld not have any negative effect on my aiming either"
Keelia: brb
JamesDevil: you're not the only one with range
joriandrake: ah stairs
Smon: from the corridor there is not clear line of sight to the throne, it is too far back on the higher level
joriandrake: maybe, but I am a Sharpshooter, have no negative on covers
joriandrake: do the stairs go up or down to the room with throne?
Smon: up west into room
Smon: You ran down them last week!
joriandrake: thanks
Keelia: back
JamesDevil: ok, lets do this, over to you Q
joriandrake: so we could set up a stage or platform maybe higher up to make ap lace for better line of sight before going into the room itself
joriandrake: Is QUillax able to shape the walls, then move, then shape throne with one spell use?
JamesDevil: remmebr there a slime in there as well
JamesDevil: fyi
Smon: >>Is QUillax able to shape the walls, then move, then shape throne with one spell use?<< *sigh*
JamesDevil: -.-
Keelia: no
Keelia: Q can shape the throne and gtfo so she doesn't die again
Smon: Keelia can you tell me the plan?
Keelia: Q will 1) wildshape into air elemental
Keelia: 2) move down the hall silently until she gets near the doors
Keelia: 3) go through the lock (can fit thru 1 inch gaps)
Keelia: 4) go over to throne (squeeze past ooze curtain) and stone shape the throne around the skull
joriandrake: as far I understand this is the room of the throne/skull, with throne at end, so my idea was to raise a platform near the door so I can shoot from there while others go into melee, thus enabling me range and line of sight there https://i.imgur.com/Fja8bkO.jpg
Keelia: 5) disengage with bonus action
Smon: Squeeze under ooze curtain?
DESTROYERBILL: or just go earth elmental and go under
Keelia: 6) use boon of speed and double time it out of there
Keelia: Could do earth elemental but I can't see if it's on the throne
joriandrake: sorry if my English wasn't clear
Keelia: actually, that's 2b) peer thru keyhole to see if it's on the throne
Smon: You won't be able to see throne through keyhole, throne is on higher level.
joriandrake: I might have to do that, with the nondetection/invisibility combo to scout the room
Smon: You would have to go through doors, down corridor, then fly up 10' and peek over top of stairs.
Smon: Plus the ooze curtain is opaque
joriandrake: and if it is there, sleeping, it might be safe to mold the walls near the door into a platform too before an attack
Smon: You prob won't know if she/it is on throne until you get past curtain.
joriandrake: (forgot of the slime stuff)
JamesDevil: Jorian she's not wasting a spell for you, just leave it
Keelia: then never mind 2a, just squeeze past ooze and if it's there, it's there, if not, retreat and wait a while, I suppose
joriandrake: ok, no worries, you go in without the rogue archer being to do rogue archery then
Smon: ok
joriandrake: able*
JamesDevil: run up shoot, run back down
JamesDevil: you'll be in and out of sight before its turn
Keelia: jorian, once it's trapped, we can deal with line of sight and stuff, but we need to contain it before we worry about that.
Smon: Do the others wait in the silver mist room while Q-lemental goes in to demilich room?
JamesDevil: yep
JamesDevil: all quiet like
joriandrake: it already used once a legendary attack on me out of turn, I doN't know how often it can do it, and if I run up i'll be in range of whatever
joriandrake: but Drakh should be able to quietly scout invisibly like last time at throne
Keelia: any time simon rolls a 6, its legendary recharges, I think. so assume it's there.
joriandrake: passive inv/perc is good enough to likely see through slime curtain if skull is there
Keelia: *assume it's there = it can do legendary attack
Keelia: if you want to go first and look, be my guest.
joriandrake: ok, well no archer platform then, but it is ok to get on with Nondetection and invisibility for scouting?
joriandrake: Yes I do it, as I think my char is best suited for it
joriandrake: (plus I have the advantage of already having beein in there)
joriandrake: So: Drakhaien casts Nondetection, then Invisibility, then goes into that room sneakily to check where the skull is
Smon: GM: OK you assemble outside, Drak casts Nondetection & Invisibility and goes in to scout?
Keelia: sure, why not.
JamesDevil: yep
joriandrake: I try to be quick, so I can still use at least one shot from invisibility after battle starts if things go well
Smon: OK, SB hangs back in the south tunnel off the silver mist room, peaking warily round the corner.
joriandrake: Thankfully I can still talk to others naturally without breaking the spell, so I can tell my scouting report
Smon: SB is hanging back 60' from the door, are the rest of you (except Q) with him, or further forward?
joriandrake: ok, sneaky sneaky now
Smon: (also, you don't check on Morcruft?)
joriandrake: (and I forgot, I think Skulker feat also helps me with the curtain 'foilage')
joriandrake: Well I asked twice what happened with the ghoul, If I see it I will tell the others of it
Keelia: (we did ask about him sometime back but there was no answer, so I assumed he was just hiding in the corner quietly)
Smon: Drak sneaks to the doors and prises them open - Sleight of Hand
JamesDevil: o yea, we forgot about him
Smon: I said he went back to his lair before the demilich attacked
JamesDevil: we'll check on him after
Smon: ok
joriandrake rolls 1d20+11 and gets: 5, (+11) = 16
joriandrake: 21
Keelia: ah, sorry, I missed that update
Smon: With Reliable Talent Drak carefully slips through the doors to the demilich's room, sneaks up the stairs and over to the curtain. Looking through he can dimly make out the throne, and the skull sitting on it, happily digesting Sandor presumably.
joriandrake: is it moving?
Smon: no
joriandrake: or jsut like last time, with no sign of activity?
Smon: he sees a faint twinkle from a gem tooth
Smon: otherwise much the same, no rod of course
joriandrake: Drakh memorizes the sight, as best he can how many inches the skull is from both sides to be able to tell for targeting aid QUillax better
Smon: The black horned mask is still on the left armrest.
joriandrake: he leaves again, goes back, not risking the mask, taking it would likely alert the lich again
Smon: ok, about 18"
Smon: Drak carefully sneaks out and returns, reports to Q.
joriandrake: once returned still invisible he tells the others, carefully not to bump into them
Keelia: while he was sneaking in, she took air elemental form, so she was ready
joriandrake: "We got the info and best chance now, I still have a couple of minutes of invisibility left, but it will be gone once I attack"
joriandrake: "note that the curtain is a living slime or ooze, so itcounts as extra enemy"
Keelia: She makes herself as transparent as possible and engages the plan.
Smon: OK Quillax flies in, up, sees the curtain.
Smon: She can't see through it, just looks like a pale green curtain across the room.
Smon: The throne should be right behind it, in the middle, about 10' back
Keelia: she'll flatten herself out and squeeze past the curtain
Smon: OK DC 5 DEX (sleight of hand) check to get under it without bringing it down...
Smon: with a waft
Keelia rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 14, (+5) = 19
Smon: Q-lemental breezes under the curtain. Her darkvision picks up the lich skull sitting happily on the throne atop a pile of dust.
Smon: Sandor's waning soul twinkles soulfully.
joriandrake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8fS9-Yimdhw
Keelia: she'll do whatever she needs to to get the stone shape done, but I sort of see her creeping up the back of the throne, to look down, like a holy spectre of righteous retribution
Smon:
Smon: Nice music J!
joriandrake: (grab me that mask if you can while fleeing plz)
joriandrake: (it was one of the few English favorites of my dad)
Smon: Soul lady Quillax reshapes the throne so it rises up & enfolds the skull with stone tendrils - leaving gaps so you can still attack it.
Keelia: (you can get the mask when we've killed it, since it wasn't in the original plan
Keelia: and she can't get past the ooze with a mask
joriandrake: k
Smon: The skull starts to stir as it's enfolded - Q Bonus Actions away fast; DC 5 DEX again to get under slime
Keelia rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 10, (+5) = 15
Keelia: boon of speed + fly speed of 90 and she is out of there
Smon: Q escapes under the curtain and flies back through the keyhole as a furious scream comes from the skull.
joriandrake: I guess it is battle rush time!
JamesDevil: "I take it you were successful?"
Smon: OK you are attacking now?
Keelia: she can get up to 120 feet away, but she'll go back to the others with a smug gaseous grin
JamesDevil: "we'll need to take tdown the slime first
joriandrake: I will roll init, but no matter what, my invisible rogue will attack last in team
JamesDevil: Claw drinks a potion of herism, allready
joriandrake rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 18, (+5) = 23
Keelia: yes, will be attacking at least the ooze to start
Smon: Are you running into room & up stairs to landing?
DESTROYERBILL: can i get some heroism
JamesDevil: SB attacking with us?
DESTROYERBILL: ill shoot arrows
JamesDevil: No, i'll stop 30' from the throne
Keelia: Q will return via the door and whirlwind the ooze to get it out of the way
JamesDevil: heroism if for the fear, you already said your immune
DESTROYERBILL: make it 31 or it will get ya
Keelia: then retreat again
joriandrake: right, what Drak can't do, Shieldbiter may be able to, flying/howering to get line of sight to shoot
Smon: Is everyone staying outside while Q goes back in?
Smon: Heroism potion does not give fear immunity per DMG
JamesDevil: yep, then kicking the door in
joriandrake: Drak does, as he is invisible and might get trampled otherwise
Smon: 10 temp hp + Bless
Smon: So Q flies back in alone through the keyhole
JamesDevil: you are immune to being frightened +the temp hp
Smon: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Potion%20of%20Heroism#content
JamesDevil: Until the spell ends, the creature is immune to being frightened and gains temporary hit points
joriandrake: (bless is still great, for attack & saving rolls)
Smon: same as in DMG
JamesDevil: https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Heroism#content
JamesDevil: so the pot doesn't work like the spell?
joriandrake: Simon is right, the potion is not the same as the spell called Heroism
Smon: You are confusing spell & potion
JamesDevil: k, i wouldn't have taken it then
joriandrake: to be fair they did call it stupidly, making this mistake easy
Smon: Quillax you approach the curtain - Q roll init
DESTROYERBILL: ill take it i want blessing
joriandrake: Hey, you still get D4 to your attacks and save rolls
Smon: /roll d20+5
Smon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 19, (+5) = 24
Keelia: i'm not going to beat that...
JamesDevil: anywayz Claw waits to hear the cyclone from Q
Keelia rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 11, (+3) = 14
joriandrake: the damn skull is again probably the quickest
Smon: The Demilich (using True Sight) chomps on Q's soul - DC 19 CHA save, you might want to use that Inspiration
Keelia: fuck...
Keelia rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 1, (+4) = 5
joriandrake: ugh
Keelia: inspiration!
Keelia rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 10, (+4) = 14
Keelia: nope.
joriandrake: ugh x2
Smon: OK Quillax gets eaten too.
Keelia: well, I hope someone hears my squeal of the damned
JamesDevil: is that just an ability of a legendary?
Sandor Sunneson: welcome to the club pal
Smon: After a bit the rest of you realise Q's not coming back
DESTROYERBILL: were officaly fucked
joriandrake: I assumed everyone else would charge in too,,,
JamesDevil: FFS
JamesDevil: may as well..
Keelia: nah, you're all fine. just use ranged weapons
DESTROYERBILL: well i dont know about you but i dont think we can win this
JamesDevil: Claw throw a javalin at the slime
joriandrake: I can't do anything else than really stand a chance as ranged attacker, but probably it can't use this ability every turn
DESTROYERBILL: ill shoot arrows as far away as possible
Keelia: bill, i fought an undead hydra by myself with the rest of the party dead before. You have a ranger. Draw off the ooze and let him work.
DESTROYERBILL: well we will try and save you with arrows
Keelia: you and james take on the ooze, jorian can take the skull from a distance.
JamesDevil: sounds like a plan
Smon: If you are going in now then please roll init. NB if you stay half way up the stairs you will be over 30' from it.
Keelia: throw pebbles at it if you have to.
JamesDevil Rolls 1d20+2x2 and gets:
18 (+2) = 20
3 (+2) = 5
DESTROYERBILL Rolls 1d20+4x2 and gets:
10 (+4) = 14
8 (+4) = 12
joriandrake: Init 23 - but I need to wait for everyone else to move in too, so I can than work invisivly
joriandrake: so this round I am slowest
Smon: roll J, you're not allowed to just roll init whenever you feel like it
joriandrake rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 8, (+5) = 13
Smon: OK so Claw rushes in and up the steps, javelin & greatsword in hand, followed by SB who hangs back nervously behind him, then Drak bringing up the rear.
Smon: /roll d20+5
Smon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 12, (+5) = 17
JamesDevil: Javlinto the slime
JamesDevil: then run back away from the sword
DESTROYERBILL: i shoot arows
JamesDevil: skkull*]
Smon: OK Claw throws a javelin into the curtain, it collapses sending slime splashing all over the place
JamesDevil: living slime?
joriandrake: yes
Smon: Yeah - you are too far away to be hit by the splatters.
JamesDevil: is it congealing into one or many?
Smon: demilich is visible on its jagged throne, eyes blazing furiously in its cage of stone
Smon: bits
Smon: /roll d20+5
Smon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 12, (+5) = 17
JamesDevil: etherway Claw is pull back as far as he can from the Skull
joriandrake: well, it is still trapped
Smon: #20 lair action
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 16,
Smon: The skull targets SB with Antimagic, a glowing pink field surrounds SB.
Smon: His bow droops
Smon: #17 Lich turn
Smon: ok you are out of range of all its powers.
joriandrake: (What is this Antimagic? the spell Antimagic Field? something else, does it even count as a spell?)
joriandrake: (I ask because archetype power)
Smon: It's an Antimagic Field centred on SB, covering only him & moving with him
joriandrake: ok, thanks
Smon: OK the break DC of the cage strands will be moderate DC 15 athletics, but the demilich has -5 STR, so breaks free on a 20
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 13,
Smon: OK it batters uselessly vs the cage
joriandrake: must sound like one of those african drums
Smon: #14 sb
DESTROYERBILL: i ready an action to shoot when the am shield goes down
DESTROYERBILL: end turn
Smon: ok
Smon: #13 drak
Keelia: (can you still shoot just without the magic? any damage is still better than no damage)
Smon: (it's immune to mundane)
joriandrake: knowing well that an antimagic field might work for up to a hour he tries to just move up the stairs, shoot the skull in its cage, then move down back and use Hide bonus action
Smon: ok
Keelia: (oh yeah, it's immune to everything, ah well)
Smon: attk w adtvg D
JamesDevil: -.-
Smon: it has cover from the strands, ac 20 > 22
joriandrake Rolls 1d20+11x3 and gets:
10 (+11) = 21
3 (+11) = 14
16 (+11) = 27
Smon: hit w elven reroll
Smon: sneak att obvs
joriandrake: cover doesn't matter to Drak, but he hits, albeit not a crit sadly
JamesDevil: ooc just so we know when to call it a night, how much hp does this thing have?
Smon: oh ok
joriandrake rolls 1d8+5 and gets: 7, (+5) = 12
joriandrake rolls 9d6 and gets: 2, 2, 5, 5, 1, 4, 5, 6, 4, = 34
Smon: i'm not telling, but i can quit at 9.30
JamesDevil: nice
Smon: 46 dmg w magic bow yes?
joriandrake: 46 hp shot into skull through cage bars, he goes down, hides
joriandrake: yes
Smon: has resistance so 46 > 23
joriandrake rolls 1d20+17 and gets: 9, (+17) = 26
joriandrake: 27
joriandrake: his Nondetection is still concentrated on, end turn (but invis ended)
Smon: OK Drak retreats down the steps. He won't have cover shooting from the steps next round for hiding - maybe if he climbed up to the bannister, shot through then dropped down would work
joriandrake: nmv, Nond doesn't even need conc
joriandrake: thx
Smon: Dust swirls around the lich angrily.
Smon: R2
Smon: #20 claw
JamesDevil: run to within 25' and throw greatsword
joriandrake: (unless we find a weaknes, the resistance basically makes the lich act like a raging barbarian, or double the actual hp)
JamesDevil: then run back out
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+18 and gets: 12, (+18) = 30
Smon: OK Claw moves up 20'', throws sword, then back 20'
JamesDevil rolls 4d6+12 and gets: 3, 5, 1, 6, (+12) = 27
JamesDevil: slashing
Smon: sword you can actually throw twice, 4d6+STR+3 as no rage
JamesDevil: range on Garvok is 25' but that works eitherway
JamesDevil: o, cool
Smon: /roll d20+5
Smon rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 10, (+5) = 15
JamesDevil rolls 5d6 and gets: 6, 4, 1, 6, 3, = 20

JamesDevil: second attack
JamesDevil rolls 1d20+18 and gets: 4, (+18) = 22
Smon: took 13 slash
Smon: 22 exact hit
JamesDevil rolls 4d6+12 and gets: 3, 5, 1, 6, (+12) = 27

joriandrake: ((lucky, I feared he would be in antimagic for the rest of battle)
JamesDevil: nice
Smon: /roll d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 4,
Smon: no lair action
Smon: #17 lich
JamesDevil: sweet

DESTROYERBILL: i shoot
Smon: she readies, sorry to misgender the skull
DESTROYERBILL Rolls 1d20+18x2 and gets:
1 (+18) = 19
15 (+18) = 33
JamesDevil: lol
joriandrake: can't really tell
DESTROYERBILL rolls 1d12+12 and gets: 10, (+12) = 22
Smon: SB puts another arrow in the much arrowed & sworded skull (11 dmg)
Smon: #13 Drak -if you do the sneak att thing I suggested you will be within 30'
Smon: want to risk it?
joriandrake: up to the bannister, as you suggested, would that be in 30 feet?
Smon: yes
Smon: actually no
DESTROYERBILL: you will die you fool no
joriandrake: is the room dimly lit? asking because a. cloak and b. Skulker feat benefit
Smon: possible to shoot from SE corner past a pillar be over 30' away
JamesDevil: Lady skull has an action readied >.>
Smon: superior cover to demilich but you stay over 30' away
DESTROYERBILL: he is trying to kill you
DESTROYERBILL: she sorry#
Smon: it's unlit
Smon: I guess claw has a torch
JamesDevil: yep, at my feet
JamesDevil: plus the flaming sword
Smon: ok sword is your torch
Smon: ok dim light in shadows of room
JamesDevil: it cuts through the darkness
joriandrake: ok, I try something else, gaining that suggested bannister location, hidden getting up there as vision and nondetection I assume allows to move ther undetected and Å‘perhaps even flying up there with cloak to spend less feet of turnly move, then attack, then drop below to be out of sight/range again, my attack will require a max 120 feet range
Smon: Drak you can sneak up, shoot from behind SE pillar over 30' away ok. You beat its passive per 13 & can shoot w advtg
joriandrake: I plan to use this second time since you ruled I can sneak attack with it, I cast Fire Bolt on Skull
Smon: ok
Smon: AC 25 from your location inc 5 pts of cover
joriandrake Rolls 1d20+9x3 and gets:

joriandrake: then hit ,yes?

joriandrake rolls 1d10 and gets: 7,
joriandrake: and fire sneak
joriandrake rolls 9d6 and gets: 2, 5, 5, 6, 4, 5, 5, 1, 6, = 39

Keelia: yay!
JamesDevil: hurray!
joriandrake: "and good riddance"
JamesDevil: hurray!
joriandrake: whew, thanks
JamesDevil: abpout bloody time!
DESTROYERBILL: that ended pretty bluntly
joriandrake: I knew I had to risk it
Smon: Quillax & Sandor reappear in the hall, lying by the throne
Keelia: (dead or alive?)
joriandrake: Drak leasurly walks over to the mask and takes it,
JamesDevil: or unconcious?
joriandrake: he inspects it (I assume they live)
DESTROYERBILL: i start pillaging the gems
Smon: They are coming back to consciousness.
JamesDevil: Claw is the only one concerned about his comrades
Smon: There is an intact 15,000 gp sapphire on the throne
JamesDevil: "welcome back to the land of the living you two"
joriandrake: Drakh goes after pocketing the mask to QUillax and Sandor
DESTROYERBILL: i take it
Smon: the black horned mask is also there
joriandrake: yes, that mask is what Drak took
Keelia: (you take it with the understanding that you will give others in the team compensation, yes?)
Smon: the lich's own gems shattered in the explosion
JamesDevil: "nice to see you sharing the loot SB"
Smon: Sandor can have 12,500 XP
joriandrake: "Do oyu need some salve or potions?" Drak asks the returned soul-eaten people
DESTROYERBILL: there is 2 pieces of loot okay
Sandor Sunneson: TY,
DESTROYERBILL: you could say that to drak nice to see you sharing the loot
JamesDevil: And you took the most valuable one without eben disvussing
DESTROYERBILL: there is one gem
joriandrake: Drak inspects the wounded (are they on 1 hp?)
JamesDevil: the mask has got to be cursed or something
Keelia: (which is not the point, bill. unless you plan to sell it and split the gold, you need to give others their fair share)
Smon: Q & S have the same hp they did before being soul trapped.
DESTROYERBILL: what you sugest we cut the gem
joriandrake: "Perhaps, but I rather took it before someone else did, and we can inspect it closely later, plus I ... collect masks, no other items we found until now interested me as much as this find"
Keelia: great! she's pretty much alive then
joriandrake: (OOC I just took it so quickly because I assumed you know who would grab it right away otherwise, plus I did try to note my interest pre-battle)
JamesDevil: suggesting that we put it in the shared loot bag and sell it later Bill
Keelia: (yes, cut the gem)
joriandrake: "If it is cursed we can get rid of the mask, otherwise, even if nonmaigcal i would like it as souvenir, and the gem, I feel no need of a share for it, rather we should use it to refill our healing supplies and other potions"
Keelia: (sell it and share the gold, cut it and share the gem, or give the rest of the team gold to compensate.)
DESTROYERBILL: im not on this plane when you sell it and i was the one who paid 25,000gp for draks armor
joriandrake: (I give up on my gem-income for mask, I rarely find anything good for Drakh, and this mask fits his background and theme)
DESTROYERBILL: i paid more than the gems value for someone else to have something
joriandrake: ooc - Bill, you got transported to this plane with the help of the NPC Lady and Drak, you will get syour share even if you are on the other plane, the loot can be also transferred through planes I believe
Keelia: that was between you and drak, not the party.
joriandrake: and if I recall right you gave the armor to me without a reuest to repay it, but yes, I did ofer to compensate later too, that offer still counts, not from the mask tho
Smon: Nightgaunt Mask - Requires Attunement
A black, horned nightgaunt mask has two eyeholes but no other
facial features. When the mask is worn, even the eyeholes
vanish, leaving the wearer with no visible face at all. The wearer
gains the advantages shared by the faceless nightgaunts on
which the mask is based. The entire face of the mask functions
as a sort of “eye,” allowing the wearer to see normally. The
wearer also gains advantage on all saving throws against gaze
attacks, and does not breathe (and is thus immune to inhaled
toxins and scent-based effects). However, the wearer can’t
speak, and therefore can’t cast spells or use items that require
verbal components or command words.
Once per day, the wearer can summon 1d4+1 nightgaunts to
do her bidding. These
nightgaunts remain for 10 rounds. Alternatively, the wearer
can summon a single nightgaunt that remains for 24 hours.
She can communicate with and thus give orders to these
nightgaunts via telepathy to a range of 100 feet. If the wearer
removes the nightgaunt mask, any summoned nightgaunts
immediately turn on her and attempt to carry her off and drop
her from a great height before vanishing.
joriandrake: but if you wish, I give you the armor right now back
DESTROYERBILL: fine ill give away the gem to the party if i get my repayment for the armor
joriandrake: ok, yes, fits an arcane rogue well
joriandrake: Sorry, but the armor was really just between yo uand me, I can give the armor back now, but don't request the whole party loot (gem) from others for it
joriandrake: I can also just give you my share of the gem
joriandrake: I still don't know what it is worth though
Smon: GM: Are you going home for a long rest & selling the gem?
DESTROYERBILL: the armor at normal value buying is 100,000gp but you found a good deal and found one for 25,000gp
joriandrake: So Drakh can just give back the armor if Shieldbiter wishes, but he will not get the rest of the team involved by somehow mixing into this arrangement party loot like the whole of the gem
Smon: the gem is worth 15,000
DESTROYERBILL: id rather you pay me back in gold drak and you keep the armor
JamesDevil: yes i think a long rest is in order, that way we can sell the gem, get spell slots and heal up
joriandrake: Well, we defeated the demilich, going once more back home to inform others of events would be a good idea before opening and going into a plane portal
joriandrake: That is also fine Bill/Shieldbiter
Keelia: Agreed with James.
joriandrake: for now you take my cut from gem worth then, and I will then pay back the whole bit by bit
DESTROYERBILL: fine
joriandrake: that will be 3000 gold worth repaid then, glad this was sorted
Smon: GM: OK you return home to Magnimar via tree stride, splitting gem 5 ways is 6000 to SB and 3000 to Claw Sandor Quillax
joriandrake: aaand thanks for the game Simon, I think we need to stop here, no?
Sandor Sunneson: Thanks for that Simon
joriandrake: the others if requesting the mask or its worth please tell me now
Sandor Sunneson: Rolled a 1 and that was it lol
Smon: You have defeated a CR 23 demilich & opened way to Leng so the E20 PCs can have an epic boon
Keelia: thanks Simon
JamesDevil: thank Simon
joriandrake: what is my XP total then?
Smon: SB gets a Dragonfire boon (immune fire, +2d6 breath dmg)
Smon: You got +25,000 today J
joriandrake: ok, thank you
Keelia: night all - see you later!
Smon: Claw you can have Boon of Perfect Health +40 hp
Smon: Sorry Boon of Fortitude it's called
