Tell me the damn DCs!

The ghost's gaze shifts to DAI. It moves in and moves to swipe a shortsword through DAI's torso, who reacts by throwing up a barrier of ice around himself.
13:15, Today: teslas, on behalf of DAI, rolled 3 using 1d4. MP conserved.
13:15, Today: teslas, on behalf of DAI, rolled 18 using 1d20. Conserve MP 18-20.
Ice Armor. MP: 44/54

The sword passes through him harmlessly.
13:13, Today: teslas rolled 39 using 1d100. miss chance vs. DAI.
The ghost is markedly angered, and speaks about it.

Remember to roll your Requiem damage on your turn, good sir.

After the most recent front of energy washes over the ghost, it is apparent that it is quite ragged. There are many pieces missing from it, and in several large places it is much more translucent than when it first appeared. It acts no differently, however.

"Silence, slave." It turns back to ZEIG.

DAI's turn. Keep in mind that ZEIG has moved 5' southeast.

The ghost stabs DAI in the arm as he moves by.
15:42, Today: teslas rolled 5 using 1d6+3. physical AoO damage.
Additional one point of constitution damage.
Sekret attack roll.
15:41, Today: teslas rolled 61 using 1d100. AoO miss chance.

His Ice Armor absorbs all of the physical damage, but the sickening feeling of the wound moves through his body like an echo.

He fires off his spell, and the ghost ducks underneath it as it had before, obviously highly trained.

The ghost looks back to ZEIG, takes a 5' step, floating about an inch above the ground, and gives him the full volley of shortsword swipes.
15:48, Today: teslas rolled 3,6 using 1d6,1d6. water damage, ice damage.
15:48, Today: teslas rolled 11 using 2d6+4. critical physical damage.

Sekret critical confirm roll.
Sekret attack roll.
15:47, Today: teslas rolled 52 using 1d100. miss chance attack 4 of 4.
15:47, Today: teslas rolled 21 using 1d100. miss chance attack 3 of 4.
15:47, Today: teslas rolled 23 using 1d100. miss chance attack 2 of 4.
15:47, Today: teslas rolled 26 using 1d100. miss chance attack 1 of 4.

All four attacks clearly pass through ZEIG's body, but only the fourth appears to have actually made any real contact. The ghost spits in growing fury.

Remember to roll your Requiem damage, sir, even if you play another song.

Round 4:
21: ZEIG

Re: 9:45am Iceday, 8th week 852s

You didn't describe your destination, so I'll take my best guess.

The ghost, now barely visible at all, cuts at DAI as he leaves.
19:04, Today: teslas rolled 5 using 1d6+3. physical damage.
sekret attack roll
19:03, Today: teslas rolled 100 using 1d100. AoO miss chance.

DAI, as before, had thrown up a layer of Ice Armor which absorbs all of the physical damage, but the blow still leaves his body weakened.

The ghost continues his assault against ZEIG.
19:09, Today: teslas rolled 1 using 1d100. miss chance attack 4 of 4.
19:09, Today: teslas rolled 40 using 1d100. miss chance attack 3 of 4.
19:09, Today: teslas rolled 82 using 1d100. miss chance attack 2 of 4.
19:09, Today: teslas rolled 1 using 1d100. miss chance attack 1 of 4.
19:11, Today: teslas rolled 5,6 using 1d6,1d6. water damage, ice damage.
19:10, Today: teslas rolled 7 using 1d6+2. physical damage.

Sekret first offhand attack roll.

SILI, most likely not happy to see ZEIG fall unconscious from blood loss, readies himself to act just as the ghost dissipates into nothingness.
19:14, Today: teslas, on behalf of SILI, rolled 4 using 1d6+3. Requiem damage.

ZEIG is at -3 hit points and knocked out. He will continue to bleed, though one of you, hopefully will just walk up to him and administer a Cure potion you must be carrying with all of the ones ZEIG... oh wait, none of except ZEIG have them listed in the party inventory. It will take two rounds to administer him one of his, so I'll assume this happens.
19:16, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 19 using 1d100. stabilization #2 of 2.
19:16, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 23 using 1d100. stabilizatino #1 of 2.

19:17, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 6 using 1d8+1. Cure potion.

ZEIG, you have one hit point. Please remove a Cure potion from your inventory.

Remember, you know that this ghost will remain unable to return to this plane of existence in the next 36 hours at a minimum, and as long as a little over a week. Either of you may want to inform SILI as such.

DAI walks up and administers one of the nine cure potions he has in his belt pouch(check my inventory post again, note how I haven't edited it in days). IF ZEIG stays unconscious he'll use a second(roll for me if necessary, gonna be offline for a while)

18:33, Today: DAI rolled 3 using 1d8+1. cure potion to ZEIG.

GM Edit-
Just use ZEIG's since I already rolled for it and it's better. Don't use one of yours. Good of you to edit your inventory post now.

Zeig plays doctor with himself, then moves on to the others. He describes the ghost to the others, and makes mention of how it is probably not the only one around.

21:29, Today: ZEIG rolled 2 using 1d8+1. Cure Potion - Zeig.
21:29, Today: ZEIG rolled 3 using 1d8+1. Cure Potion - Zeig.
21:29, Today: ZEIG rolled 9 using 1d8+6. Cure - Zeig.

Paraphrased from this:

This is a ghostly drow. You know that ghosts can have a myriad of special qualities that make them dangerous to fight, the foremost difficulty being that magical weapons are required to harm them, and even then it's spotty. You know all the undead traits that it possesses, and know that ghosts can gain the benefit of magical items that are left on the corpse, wherever that may be. Finally, you also know how ghosts are created, and that destroying them only causes them to dissapate for a limited time. (OOC: Just go read the entry on ghosts in the SRD. You know all of what they are able to do


"We need to find the body and get rid of it. It also probably has useful equipment on it, because those phantom swords were working all kinds of magic on me. It got you pretty good, Sili. Allow me to help."

21:42, Today: ZEIG rolled 2 using 1d4. Restore (STR) - Sili.
21:43, Today: ZEIG rolled 4 using 1d4. Restore (DEX) - Sili.
21:43, Today: ZEIG rolled 3 using 1d4. Restore (CON) - Sili.

DAI nods. "Yeah...sooner we find and possibly destroy the body, the better." DAI shook his head, disliking the idea of fighting a ghost every time they came through this town, which hopefully wouldn't be that often to begin with. "It was kind of coming through the ground at first...think maybe that means the body was buried somewhere nearby?"

Re: 10:15am Iceday, 8th week 852s

SILI tells MILO to wait inside near the door while the three of you give the inside of the clinic a once-over. As you were discovering before you were interrupted, unlike clinics you are used to seeing, this one is very subdivided. All of the dozen rooms have one flat table inside and each door to each room has several locks--each room's door is open and unlocked save one.

The basement level is every bit as large as the ground floor, and appears to be devoted to the staff and record-keeping. Unfortunately, all of the books are encoded in something that is not simple Undercommon. One room is of particular note. You find some kind of small spider-like idol with sharpened legs jutting out away from the sides of it. Beneath it the floor is stained a dark brown.

ZEIG recognizes it to be an idol of Lolth, the dark elf goddess, from a book he had earlier read in Elfheim's library. DAI remarks that he was just about to say that. ZEIG goes on to guess the stain is blood from some sort of sadistic ritual, or more likely, rituals. With that, the party continues searching the rest of the basement.
23:58, Today: teslas, on behalf of DAI, rolled 17 using 1d20+8. Know (relig).
23:58, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 20 using 1d20+9. Know (relig).
23:57, Today: teslas, on behalf of SILI, rolled 8 using 1d20+3. Know (relig).


Like the black mage scroll scribe, this building looks to have been looted at some point--most likely at least four or five years ago. Even so, tucked away in one of the desks, the party finds a collection of three vials. SILI comments that one of the vials is labeled "Cure III". DAI and ZEIG think the color looks a little odd for a curative potion, and DAI quickly inspects it, hoping to be able to identify it without he and ZEIG having to resort to the alchemy kit later when camp is made.
00:01, Today: teslas, on behalf of DAI, rolled 27 using 1d20+13. Spellcraft to identify potion.
Glad he was able to tell before potentially drinking it, DAI is certain it's a potion of Blizzard II. Having already tasted a Cure II potion before, the other vial appears to be correctly labeled.

You find:
1x Remedy
1x potion of Cure II (CL 3rd)
1x potion of Blizzard II (CL 7th)

The Remedy item is hard to fake or mislabel, so trust the DM on that.

Re: 10:30am Iceday, 8th week 852s

The alchemists' shop is similar in size to the black mage scroll scribe. The top floor is essentially empty, as expected.

The bottom floor, however, is a different story. You find what would have been a well-stocked workshop. Many of the supplies are rotten, have their containers broken, or are otherwise spoiled, but given time ZEIG and DAI think they could pick through the materials and salvage some of them. You guess you could probably easily pick out 7-8lbs of supplies within a minute, more if you were lucky. Roll a Search check and we will use the aid another rules (SILI can't search because he's not a trained alchemist but since he's a Bard his Cheer ability applies). If you take a 20, be prepared to spend an hour here, but you'd get enough to fill up a haversack or two.

Against one wall lies a mostly in-tact masterwork alchemy lab. It will take four castings of Mending and fifteen minutes for both DAI and ZEIG to reposition everything and clear the dust/cobwebs out.

Coming to expect false backs in desk drawers, seriously the woodcrafter who made these was was making a killing, SILI starts prying them open when DAI and ZEIG are inspecting the alchemy supplies and lab. He finds four vials.

Alchemist's Fire
Alchemist's Lightning
Flask of Acid x2

You can create alchemical solutions of all six elements. Alchemist's Lightning functions exactly the same as a normal thrown splash weapon and deals 1d6 points of splash damage to those wearing metal armor or using a light or heavier metal shield instead of the normal 1.

DAI opts to dive in and see what he can scrounge up without having to take too much time sorting through everything and in the process mussing things up even more. ZEIG... holds his staff so you can see.
14:39, Today: teslas, on behalf of ZEIG, rolled 3 using 1d20+2. Search.
SILI, assists as well, intuitively following what DAI is looking for and suggesting he's found some things.

You find 19 lbs of salvageable alchemy supplies.

By the way, your Illuminate spells are due to expire, like, right now. In fact, they just did.
