That'd be thanks to your stubborn mate, then.

Everyone say hello to Sedric and Aegis when they show up. Likely to meet up with Reanna and Dne. Also, I will be onboarding a fancy of elves in the near future.

Just as a point of clarificarion, Broderick never had a key to the sewers. On his previous expedition he had someone good at locks.

Given a spider doesn't have a head, as such, and its heart and brain are behind the eyes in the cephalothorax, that's as good advice as one could hope for.  ;)

Yeah... but having failed the rolls for them (hey, Naturalist is at default) Jareth went with "I don't know how to do this easily" and decided that laziness burning was the best option (rather than possibly have our retreat be a "and now you get stuck in webs and the other spiders eat you").




Side note:  Hey Grimaldi, what spell is 'recover strength'?  If it's the spell I think it is, you don't ever roll it...

it's the only healing school spell wizards are allowed, and it has to be at 15

Re: Out of Character 6

Grimaldi:

So, Recover Energy.  And it's never rolled.

It's better described as "a spell that acts like an advantage".

Also... totally doesn't have to be at 15... but functionally, yes, 15 is the bare minimum you should bother learning it at (next step is 20).


All it does is passively increase your FP recovery rate while resting*.  At skill level 15 it's 1 FP every 5 minutes, at skill 20 it's 1 FP every 2 minutes.  It completely stops working in Low and No Mana Zones.  Recovers any FP expenditure/lose whether from Supernatural attacks, powering Supernatural Abilities, or physical exertion (marching, Extra Effort, etc) and hazardous weather FP damage (heat, etc).†


* requires one to actually rest and cannot be Concentrating on any spells.  May Maintain spells however.
† It's a great spell for anyone to to take with a Charm Perk.  For some (those with IQ 17 or higher) it's an incredible buy at 2 points (not terrible at IQ 16 either being 3 points, below that and it's a toss up as to whether Fit is better or not)...


Also coming back to this:
quote:
it's the only healing school spell wizards are allowed...

False in two ways:

1 - If going by Wizardry Refined from Pyramid 3-60 Dungeon Fantasy III (which we are), it is a Meta-Spell for Wizards (also there are three Healing spells changed this way for Wizards - Lend, Recover, and Share Energy).

2 - If just going by GURPS 4th Dungeon Fantasy 1 Adventurers almost all Healing spells are allowed due the twisty prereq paths some spells take (I'm glaring at you Necromancy College).  Also Lend Energy is specifically allowed, since it's the direct prereq for Recover Energy (as is so Lend Vitality for Zombie's prereq, so three whole Healing spells are called out as allowed).  Notably not allowed is Share Energy, because... Sean Punch/Dr Kromm forgot to include it (it's fixed in the Wizardry Refined article and the DFRPG Box Set book Spells).

Mario and the rest of the Junoirs faced the Demon From beyond The Stars down in the 'cultist's rooms'.  Razakeel banished it.

Sure...


Never seen that pic before... but if that's what it looked like... ugh.

Nope. It was the demon summoned in the room you gassed the cultists in, and it wasn't banished. It took a few hard hits from Brodak and disappeared in a puff of brimstone.

Yeah and then Razakeel cast Banishment* (with a non-magical Exorcism accompaniment) in msg #212:  link to a message in this game


I'm not sure if he succeeded or just drove it away from us.  Razakeel never answered my question.

* He was casting/doing something anyway.

Ok, so you are suggesting someone research the bandit first? It seemed to Reanna that Sedric already had all the information!
