Enjoy !

Have a party to attend tonight. Will post when I get home.

I want to see  Alohan grapple an increasingly diverse array of dangerous fauna.  Dragons.  Zombies.  Zombie dragons!

In reply to Logan (msg # 711):

I don't want to give too much away but I'll just say that you're playing the right AP. :)

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 712):

Awesome.  I wonder what the most improbable creature to have Alohan grapple would be?  I say at some point he needs to grapple a shark or something, and hold on while it tries to drown him.  That would be epic.  Or what if you did grapple a flying creature?  Would it cause it to fall?

In reply to Logan (msg # 713):

Oh man, those ideas are so cool. I am totally going to work them into the story, especially the shark one. Thanks for the inspiration!

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 714):

Well, in that case, think of how awesome it would be if Logan had a +5 Keen Rapier.  No?  Hmm...must think of something suitably awesome...

I'd like to see him wrestle an ooze. Alongside a hot babe NPC. Maybe a mud ooze. Ok, I realize that's normally just called mud-wrestling, but you know, we need to come up with some excuse for it!


On a different note, I have a job interview all day Tuesday, and I'm going to spend Monday working and then driving down for it, so I won't be able to post again until late Tuesday evening at the earliest. Feel free to NPC me doing the same thing I did the last two rounds, Kassius is pretty predictable right now.

Good luck Kassius! Hope all that hard work studying the stars pays off!

Good luck on your interview Kassius.

The other possibility is that a rust monster prefers more powerful weapons/magic items over lesser ones, so it'd want to eat all the intelligent magical items first.  But I don't think that's actually true.  I think they just like metal. I know I've read about adventuring groups distracting a rust monster by throwing bits of scrap metal at it.

Controlling it would be the best way to insure we stay unmolested.

I just feel if the enemy is able to attack us leaving our weapons/armor/gear behind would not be beneficial to us.

Yeah, I agree with your point 100%.  We could leave our *best* gear behind, and just take normal weapons/armor that we don't mind losing.  It would actually be a lot less expensive than the Charm Monster scrolls and only cost us a point to attack/damage/AC.

Yes spares are a good idea; but we are having those scrolls purchased for us.

In reply to Kassius (msg # 716):

I hope the interview went well Kassius.

FYI, yeah, you're getting the scroll(s) purchased for you so not cost to the party.

Pretty sure if this thing isn't charmed that iron portcullis is toast/rust and the weapons all leave.

The iron porticullis(es) are behind the wooden doors, so someone would need to smash the doors first to allow access to the metal.

Nice.

Seemed like a very flawed plan otherwise.

Oh man. The whole concept of using a rust monster is just flat out bat shit crazy. Vorsh is clearly taken one to many blows to the head. But he is the psychopath with several levels advantage over you guys so he gets to decide on the general plan :D

Are you clear which doors get locked and where the iron portcullises will come down?

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 723):

I think it went well. Should find out about that position plus a few others in the next 1-2 weeks. Fingers crossed!

Whoa Alohan would at least make sure Kassius is okay with his sexual conquest! Bros before hoes

In reply to Alohan Nuari (msg # 729):

Penny made a charisma skill check and Alohan failed his will save so it isn't 'his fault' as such. And anyway, Kassius has had ample opportunity but never showed any interest so Alohan did not break the Bro Code.

Why is this chapter of the module called the 'Quarantine of Steel'? Wouldn't steel be the worst thing to use to quarantine a rust monster? Why not a quarantine of stone? Or is the title suggesting that steel is kept out, i.e. quarantine FROM steel.

Module designers should be more clear about these things.

We are quarantining the steel inside this room.

In reply to Celene (msg # 732):

There is no steel in the room. Oh, do you mean the swords?
