We're mostly off-script at this point. In any event, because maglag hasn't posted recently, I'm going to have Clara cast cure light wounds on Vian.

Everybody gets 130 XP for their part in defeating the terrible menace of the tree rat, and driving off the tentacle-tree.

Btw, Darth isn't using the Lolth-touched feat on his edited character, but Monster Manual IV is still listed as a currently used source. Just wondering if anyone else is using anything from there.

He is however, using the Zenythri from Monster Manual 2, which isn't listed as a used source in the first page.

Have I made it back to land with the boats yet?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 10:52 pm

Sure. What are you going to do with said boats? Tie them to another tree?

Darth Rabbitt · Post by **Darth Rabbitt** » Sun Oct 25, 2015 10:59 pm

That was the idea. Preferably not a killer mangrove this time.

So can I actually get an explanation as to how I got hit?

True Strike + Sneak Attack

Is my skeleton still alive?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 12:41 am

Well, it's still undead. Did you want to walk it through opening the box?

CapnTthePirateG · Post by **CapnTthePirateG** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 2:12 am

Yea - I just didn't remember it coming out of the smoke cloud after the tree.

Capn, do you mind me potentially using a cold damage breath weapon that might hit your cold-immune skeleton? If anything tries to jump us I'mma frost breath it.

Vian is also going to stand at maximum possible distance from the box... way in the back lines if possible.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Tue Oct 27, 2015 3:00 pm

Given that this is a giant puzzle box, it'll take some Disable Device checks to solve it (the skeleton can still do the hands-on manipulation).

I assume nobody has DD then other than Clara? Man, I should have really went with the Marquis on this one.

Can't be helped now. Besides, I wanted to play Vian for ages so there is that. Now as for what to actually do with the box, I say we ignore it. We are not pressed to solve every mystery and we might discover some clues to its function at a later time.

If anyone can spare healing it will be appreciated. If not then Vian will continue with the part but will do so in the back rather than the front lines.

No objections to frost weaponry - especially as I'm planning to grab uttercold feats sometime...maybe...in the future.

If someone can actually guide Malagos and Gort through disabling a device, that would work. Otherwise we can also try brute forcing it.

I leave it up to a vote.

I can't heal HP damage. I really should've bought a healing potion, or a wand of lesser vigor for someone else to use.

I could just throw the box really hard into a distant rock or something. It might break the contents but it makes it much less likely for the contents to break us.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Oct 28, 2015 7:32 pm

Preaching to the choir here, but anyone that hasn't posted for 48 hours may be spontaneously consumed by a random encounter. Just sayin'.

Also, you're allowed to take 10 or take 20 to open the box.

AcidBlades · Post by **AcidBlades** » Wed Oct 28, 2015 7:53 pm

I largely just don't see anything much to do at the moment. Just let 'em handle getting that box open.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Oct 28, 2015 8:00 pm

Well, y'all still need to figure out what to do with the boats. Or you can keep an eye on the surroundings to avoid any surprises.

Darth Rabbitt · Post by **Darth Rabbitt** » Wed Oct 28, 2015 11:10 pm

I thought I had tied them up?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Oct 28, 2015 11:14 pm

To what? Y'all done chased away the nearest tree.

Darth Rabbitt · Post by **Darth Rabbitt** » Wed Oct 28, 2015 11:17 pm

Me, near the bottom of page 3 wrote:Archimedes lets out a snort of relief, and ties the boats to whatever tree looks the least likely to attack him (sniffing carefully to make sure that nothing smells odd about it either).

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Oct 28, 2015 11:46 pm

Ah! Missed that. Mea culpa.

radthemad4 · Post by **radthemad4** » Thu Oct 29, 2015 5:37 am

Is the smell coming from the box, or did it leave with the tree?
