Ground to a Halt

If this is just temporary real life issues and everyone can come back at some point and forge forward, I can run Sirrot on his visit to his sister in the meantime.

Yeah, we can run the visit to the sister while the others (as temporary NPCs) take care of the injured dwarf.

I thought the original plan was to smuggle Sirrot to see both his mother and his sister? When did that change?

Ground to a Halt

I guess we've got half good news.  I see that Holly has signed on a few times.  No posts, but still visiting.

Sometime in the next couple of days, depending on how busy I am, I'll start a new topic for Sirrot's side adventure.  Normally I'd run this sort of thing in a Private Message thread, but since there's nothing else going on right now it might be good to see public updates.  Plus, everyone can comment and who knows, maybe even run an NPC.  :-)

I'll also try to post Adiel's outline of what he discovers about Dunmeal's plan.  I want the players as a group to weigh some of the options available and craft their own plan 2.0 considering that some of Dunmeal's plan has been throw into chaos.  This new plan will then be the one Adiel suggests as the best chance to work based on the information he has.  Adiel is a legendary tactician and strategist, so the one you guys suggest will be a very solid plan.

All that said, I think we need Sunna back eventually to continue, and we're really completely dead if Holly can't return to posting after this interlude.

Kadrick's Vault Plan

As I mentioned before, Adiel will come up with the "best plan" to get into and out of Kadrick's vault.  He's a wiz at planning, after all.

I'd like the players to discuss it here and decided on what they want to do.  This will then be Adiel's plan.  Please keep in character discussion on the item to suggestions and questions with the majority of planning out of character.

Cool?

Kadrick's Vault Plan

DM, since we don't have the other PCs chiming in, can we have their spells known?

Kadrick's Vault Plan

If the vaults are down low:

Entry: Holly casts Waterbreathing on the party.
Tie together against current, walk underwater to grate – probably helpful to bring climbing gear to help with grip.
If it’s cold water, endure elements to ignore.

Grate opening:  Ognuts should be able to open a simple lock, or Ros do it – she’s rogue skills?  Worst case, Mord bends bars/lifts grates :)
Silence cast on dagger to conceal sound of breaking in/breaking the boxes.

Vault lock:  – similar to grate.


Box opening:
Presuming that the boxes are completely immune to magic (so no knock), and we don’t have ability to dispel that protection?
Locate Object to target the correct chests in priority of Plate, Mirror, bonus.

Windwall to blow away the miasma, so we don’t die working on the boxes.
OR: perform it from within a Rope Trick (better, but don’t think we have this)
Acid poured on hinges.  Long prybar or gripping tools to allowing working at reach from behind windwall.
If wooden: warp wood.

acid flasks galore, or combine with Giant Bombardier Beetle to do acid damage 1/round, down an eavestrough type to channel the acid onto chest hinges.  Periodically wash the channels to help them survive.
Mord big maul with long hafts.

If the miasma is just poison, neutralize poison on Mord, and he just rampages on the boxes.
Silently. :)


Transporting loots:
Pass without Trace so no tracks.
Phantom Steed for carry capacity and speed.



Plan2:
Stoneshape vault floor or walls, or soften them and we dig passage from vault to water, slide them right into the water.
Levitate on metal rods.  Slide through brackets on boxes or slide the boxes directly onto the rods, use their magic to help lift.

Plan3:
If we cannot open the boxes no matter what, then we use magic to hide our travel up, find the big bossman, suggestion that he open the boxes to trap everyone in the mirror and gloat, and Mord holds off the hordes with whomever will help.  We need that plate to reach to stop the armies to save the world.

Kadrick's Vault Plan

Alternate. Acid on inner workings, aided by True Strike for precision targeting.

Sirrot, was that last post with a hint/suggestion/inclusion of Mord?

I didn't want to tromp into your family moment if it was you-to-sister,
though, also, did not wish to ignore you if you were waiting on me :)

Oh the dilemmas of pbp :)

Yes, it was. Do you think Ragnar has the animal handling skills to bring out Sirrot's Animal Companion?

It hasn't come up in-character, that Mord would know.

Mord is good with almost everything, to hear his braggadocio.
(but only +1 Handle Animals - he's strangely better with plants :p )

Thank You for being a part of the Triplefang adventures!

11 years ago on June 25th 2009, Snow, Holly, Glumr, and Mord Triplefng set out on their first adventure to stop the Beasttamer clan members who stole an idol from the temple at Goldenpoint.

Since then we've had 11 PCs (Snow, Holly, Glumr, Mord, Israth, Giselle, Farden, Sunna, Erma, Adiel, and Sirrot) and 12 players including 4 Mords and Two Hollys.  Speaking of Holly, special thanks go out to Phil who has been with the game since the very beginning with only a short absence for health reasons.

The game has recently ground to what I believe is the final halt.  All good things must come to an end, but instead of looking at this as a sad ending I wanted to thank you all for such a great, long running series of adventures!

Damn. Thought we were waiting on you for Fady's response, but I guess you meant the other players. Was looking forward to this game. Was fun while it lasted.

Yeah, I'm sorry.  I feel like you got short changed.  We just lost too many core players at once to go on.  Replacing Adiel would've been possible, but not Holly and Sunna too.
