In reply to The Dealer (msg # 492):

The ooze suddenly springs towards you Selvin.  But you easily sidestep/fly and it skids across the chamber.

At the same time the air suddenly 'snaps' around you Zuni

Zuni, make a Reflex save 14- or 10 damage.  None if you save.

You guys can act.  Thanks

Re: Treasure Hunt

Selvin was almost surprised by the ooze's move, but managed to get out of the way since he knew what it was. Or at least, partly what it was. Time for the...no pun intended...acid test. He shook his head, grit his teeth and dove in.

He focused his energy and then unleashed a flurry of his symbiote's magically-enhanced attacks on the ooze, hoping to see what they might be able to do, and hoping he chose correctly on the magic. Electricity flowed over the two of them as they bit, clawed and slammed the ooze creature.

Re: Treasure Hunt

Lucky felt that this wasn't a fight in which he could do a lot of damage unless the crab thing was ejected from the ooze.  "I am going to stay near the door cause I don't think I can do anything to hurt that ooze."  Lucky said as he moved towards the door.

Punching/clawing/stinging the ooze is like punching/clawing/stinging a stack of wet paper SelvinZac feels some burning on it's hands/claws/whatever it is he has now, but you do seem to have taken a chunk out of the ooze.

Blowback damage from the acid is 16 pts, half if you Fort save 14- Selvin

The ooze tries to plow into you Zuni. But it's like trying to avoid a lethargic ox...turns out to be very easy to do.  Ooze misses you

The crab seems to be winding back up again.  But no sense of a pending pinching from the air currents in the room.

Your guys go

Re: Treasure Hunt

Selvin ignored the crab thing and focused on the ooze. He could feel what he would normally assume to be very painful acid on Zac's 'skin' but the spell that had further evolved the eidolon seemed to be working. Neither of them even flinched at the goo.

He nodded. "Right then, Zac. Let's keep this up!"

They weren't making a lot of progress with the ooze, but some was better than none. He tried to maneuver around to keep it from getting to his friends as well as he unleashed another flurry of blows on it.

OOC: YOU say 16 pts of acid damage or save for half. *I* say immunity to acid was apparently the right call! Lol!

Re: Treasure Hunt

Zuni ducked her head behind the altar as that strange air snap came at her.  "...hate oozes..." she muttered, nocking an arrow.  She peeked over the altar, trying to figure out what she could do.  It would have been easy enough to make another molotov cocktail out of a bottle of wine like she had done previously, if only she had some wine.  Fire should have hurt that thing, right?

But Zuni had no fire, just steel pointy things that were not going to be of much use here.  There had to be something around here that they could use.  Zuni took aim and loosed her arrow at the Crab, wanting to see if her arrows could get through the ooze to the crab.

OOC:
Reflex Save --> 20

Bow Attack -->19 (including -4 for not having Precise Shot)

"Way to go Selvin.  Keep at it!"  Lucky cheered on from the doorway.  The one thing he could do is watch for danger, so he tried to prepare his friends for incoming attacks.

Re: Treasure Hunt

Izzick brought his focus towards the water and began to swirl his fingers and palms into arcane motions. His voice echoes and crackled, and the charge at his fingertips grew into several orbs that rolled out to slam into the ooze, delivering their charges to the water. It wasn't hard to guess it would be conductive - or at least he hoped it would be as vulnerable as regular water was to bolts of lightning.

3 Ball Lightnings
Reflex 21 to avoid the damage

11:54, Today: Izzick rolled 5 using 3d6.  Damage 3.

11:54, Today: Izzick rolled 11 using 3d6.  Damage 2.

11:53, Today: Izzick rolled 13 using 3d6.  Damage 1.

Re: Treasure Hunt

In reply to Selvin Larst (msg # 497):

Ha!  Sorry Selvin.  Forgot about that. Yep.  No damage.

As Selvin/Zac dig into the ooze like a fat kid attacking a plum pudding, Izzick launches his go to.

The orbs stick to the orb and begin to deliver their shocks.

The ooze seems to be quivering.  Very much so.  Whether that's a good thing or bad...who can say?

Meanwhile, the zoomtastic Zuni aims and fires...

Her arrow whizzes through the air, slamming into the gloopy side of the ooze and carrying through.  It sticks into the crab and continues through, pounding out the other side and hitting the stone wall on the other side, crab still attached.

The crab bounces across the stone floor of the cavern, it's precious and probably delicious looking legs flailing wildly in the air.

It comes to a stop on the far wall and lays there a moment.  Then it reaches up both claws and snaps, viciously, into the air.

Someone done pissed off the crab...

Zuni, make me two reflex saves 14-.  If not 22 pts and 16 pts damage respectively.


The ooze slams into Zac, </purple>Selvin</purple> pushing the two of you back.  Body slam for 10 pts damage.  Meh.  You'll live

Re: Treasure Hunt

Selvin shrugged off the ooze's counterattack, but did notice - and did not like - the quivering of it. Was it...on the ropes, as it were? Was it about to...split or something? He vaguely remembered hearing of some oozes doing things like that.

But he didn't wait for it to finish whatever it was doing. He unleashed another flurry of strikes at it, trying to finish it off or at least keep its attention for the moment.

Re: Treasure Hunt

Lucky saw the crab exit the ooze and knew that he had a shot now to attack it.  He picked a quick route to his target and charged, slashing his kukri across the upraised claws hoping to take them from the crab.  Just then he thought, 'wish I had some lard!'

07:27, Today: Lucky Six-Fingers rolled 24,13 using d20+18,d4+9.  attack.

Re: Treasure Hunt

His fist clenching, the orbs rolled out again, pulling towards the ooze and continuing their sustained charge to it's form. The quivering made him hope this was going to be causing it to pop, melt, evaporate, or whatever else happened to an ooze that reached its limit. Maintaining his focus was tough, but he could still continue to mutter out magic, focusing on the crab as more arcane energy filled his palm and burst into a scattering of five shots of light.

Re: Treasure Hunt

Zuni watched almost incredulously as her arrow knocked the crab out of the ooze.  "Caydens Backside!  That worked!?" she shouted.  Zuni was moments away from giving another excited shout but it turned into a surprised 'Eep' when she had to duck down behind the altar again.  The crab did not appreciate what she had done.

Zuni weaved to the side and rushed at the crab.  "Right behind you, Lucky."  Finally she had something to stab.

Re: Treasure Hunt

In reply to Lucky Six-Fingers (msg # 503):

Selvin, you claw/claw/etc. into the was-quivering-now-flailing ooze like a drunk on a free bottle of whiskey.  Zac raises a claw to deliver a swing...

...as on the other side of the room, the crab goes airborne.  Zuni and Lucky, you guys are fast, no doubt about it. But this crab is like lightning.  The two of you make some incredible swings...and the crab just passes them by like you are moving in slow motion.

Izzick's missles even have a moment where it seems like they won't catch up to it.  But they do.  At the same moment as...


...Zac makes a vicious downwards swing into the ooze Selvin as...

...the crab is blown sideways out of the air by Izzick's magic globe thingies, shooting past your heads Lucky and Zuin and landing against teh wall, it's shell splitting open and it's lucious looking insides splattering this way and that as...

...the ooze suddenly explodes!  Showering everyone in the room with...

Yes Selvin.  Some oozes do explode when they die.

Everyone except Izzick.  Reflex save 16-.  If you save 16 pts damage.  If you don't 32 pts.  Though with the crab being dead, it's all kind of academic anyway.




As Chandanar moves among you, creating water to wash off acidic ooze bits and healing where needed, you see that the ooze has left behind the dead body.

It's remarkably well preserved.  The guy looks like he just died yesterday.  You all saw him yesterday...well.  One of the yesterdays from all your time skipping.  You recognize him as one of the knights who invaded the castle.

His armor looks fine.  There's a rune inscribed helm perched on his head.  A neckalce, obviously magical, lays around his throat.

But the obvious star of the show...the reason you guys came here to start with...well not you Lucky.  Your team was just here to plunder.  But whatever.  You're with these guys now...is the sword.  A long sword, obviously very magical.  It matches the description of the weapon from the Ashlander tales.

This is the sword that supposedly killed Kazovon.  And now you will use this sword to kill the Queen.

Well.  That's the theory anyway.

Re: Treasure Hunt

As things slowed to some impossible mode that Lucky had no idea, he watched as if slowed as the crab sped by him and his slashes to only be hit by Izzick's magical balls of fury.  When things were back to normal speed he was suddenly sprayed with ooze guts and how did it burn his open flesh.  Lucky though managed to turn and not have his face be burned.

11:31, Today: Lucky Six-Fingers rolled 29 using 1d20+16.  reflex save.

"Way to go Izzick!"  Lucky said as he looked about the room to find no more adversaries to battle.  His eyes then turned towards the body that was now laying on the ground.  It seemed to be in really good shape as if preserved by the ooze.

Re: Treasure Hunt

Selvin and the symbiote both flinched just as the ooze exploded, trying to fly backwards and away from the thing. He made a face of disgust afterwards. "Gross."

He glanced at Lucky with a raised eyebrow after his shout. "Yeah. Izzick. You totally killed both things attacking us while I sat around and did nothing. Good job." He let out a small chuckle.

09:55, Today: Selvin Larst rolled 17 using 1d20+12.  Reflex save (though if it's acid, it doesn't matter).

Re: Treasure Hunt

In reply to Selvin Larst (msg # 509):

The armor is full plate.  Quite decorative.  It seems to be enchanted quite heavily.  Also only usable by certain 'do gooder' types.  Is anyone here lawful good?

The helmet is more interesting.  It's got defensive magic up the wazoo.  Helm of Protection.  +2 AC.  +2 Fort saves.  Twice a day can create a Wall of Force at 12th level.  Stoneskin twice a day at 8th level.

And of course...you came for the time skips, but you stayed for the armament.  The sword.  It's fancy looking as all get out.  And as soon as one of you picks it up, you hear a voice in your head.

Are you going to let me kill a dragon?

Cos I really like killin' them dragons.

I mean...reallllllllllly like it.

Where's the dragon at? Can we kill it?  Can we?  Huh?  Huh?  Please.

Plllllllleeeeeeeasse lemme kill a dragon!

Come on.

I'll be your best friend!


So it's a +2/+5 vs Dragons long sword.  Double damage automatically.  Crit causes quadruple damage.  Ignores all DR when it comes to Dragons.

Like it said.  It lives to kill dragons.


The ring is a nifty little number.  Izzick and Selvin, you've both heard about this kind of thing before.  Some spell tossers use rings like this to hold magic.  This one can hold up to 5 spells, each up to 4th level.  Sorry Izzy.  No disintegrates in here.

There's also a cornucopia of healing potions You guys have like a Walgreens worth of healing potions already.

There's also one that renders the drinker invisible 2 doses and one that seems to protect against elemental fire.  Fire resistance.  6 doses

Tucked in the dead guy's boot is a wand.  After some study, you can determine it's just a regular ol' lightning bolt tosser.  Nothing special.  Wand of Lightning Bolts. As per the usual

The necklace seems to be some kind of illusory defense device.  Casts mirror image 6th level twice a day




Chandanar finishes healing everyone and then looks around.  "So.  We got anything else to do here?  Or can we go back home?"

Re: Treasure Hunt

"Home, that is a good question.  Can we return home?  I wonder if we are even in our time frame or some hiccup in the past or future."  Lucky said as he heard the descriptions of all the items.  He personally couldn't use any of it besides the healing potions, though he could use the helm but it may be better used by someone else.  Lucky would wait to hear about any split in gold.  That way he could buy what he wanted.

Re: Treasure Hunt

Selvin looked at the ring for a moment and then grinned. He gave a shrug and then tossed it to Izzick. "Think you'll get more use outta that then me."

He wrinkled his nose at the full plate armor and shook his head. "Not for me. Maybe Chandy." He winced slightly at the sword and shook his head again. "All you, Zuni."

He eyed the helmet. "Now THAT'S int'restin'." He nodded at the necklace as well "That too. I dunno if anyone else is int'rested in 'em."

He looked at the cleric and then at Lucky and nodded. "Yup. Got to. No choice. Gotta save the kingdom, doncha know."

OOC: Helm of Protection is a Head slot wonderous item, not actually armor?

Re: Treasure Hunt

"Why are you in a hurry to return home?" Zuni asked Lucky.  "I know...I know...we have to save the kingdom and all of that but this whole outside of Korvosa is growing on me.  And I don't know about you but Korvosa has more bad memories than good...for me at least."

She took a look at the armor, picking up the breastplate and holding it up against her.  "...never thought about being a knight before..." she muttered.  The decoration was quite intricate but it was definitely made for someone bigger than she was.  The armor was a pass.

Zuni took the Longsword and gave it a few swings to feel its balance.  "Not bad, heavier than my duelling sword but I can work with this."  She held the sword up close and smiled.  "Hello you beautiful blade, my name is Zuni.  We are going to kill nasty beasties together."

Lucky smiled as Zuni spoke to the blade.  "The only thing I think that would work for me would be the helm.  Nothing else would benefit me more than it would someone else.  I am okay forgoing any items as well as long as I get an equal share of gold.  As for home, Zuni, no not in a hurry at all to be honest.  I think we have worked well together and besides, my whole adventuring party are all dead."

Re: Treasure Hunt

Izzick spent some time examining and identifying the items before helping to divvy them up. His eyes glowed with magic as he looked them over and began to name off some of their powers .This was definitely a veritable treasure horde and as Selvin tossed him the ring, he slid it onto one of his fingers. Definitely fit like a glove. While most of the other things were useless to him - one more seemed more fit for his style than the others and he made sure to grab the wand as well. A little more firepower never hurt.

I know we already moved to the other thread but wanted to make sure I was grabbing the Wand of Lightning bolts as well
