Title: No Ability Score is Safe

When the wind finally dies down, it is after midnight.  The forest around you has been decimated, which is no small task considering the size of some of the trees.

Let me know what you did in those two plus hours.

Not that it is your top concern, but you notice that a small moon has risen.

Do you all remain in the center of the cleared area, or travel before you rest?

Do you do anything with the bodies of the human and dwarf?

There are no remains of the creatures.

Alubrin mumbles but can still contribute nothing.

Tchau lets the others know that he seems to be unable to cast any spells.  He asks them if they are able to repair the damage from those creatures.

Tchau will spend the time and bury the two bodies.

If anyone wants to describe what happened to Alubrin, he was aware of what was going on but unable to help.
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe
Post by: Windblade on June 12, 2015, 09:58:42 PM
No remains at all.  I understand if most escaped but there had to be a few with low HP that died.

Well, we came out of the circle in a high wire act.. some of the best i've ever seen.  Nitbits, and Humans and all fly well, but not dwarves.. they sorta brought us down.. down fast.  However.. amazingly the local local local man had a BOAT IN HIS POCKET!!!.. It was amazing..   So we sailed.. and sailed.. and sailed..  Ralph was terribly board..  However Willy was nice enough to vomit off the side of the ship.


   Anyways.. we got some pleaces to sleep out of nothing. Sorta like where the boat came from. HEY!!! Where did that boat Go>>  Anyways..We's only just got to sleep when we poofed back and got attacked by really bummer brains with 4 legs and nasty attitudes.  Poof.. Boom.. and some shit was on fire.. but mentally.. man.. mentally we really didn't wanna do much.. it was such a Ego trip.. yikes..  Anyway.. cloud wasn't anywhere to be seen but he came back ... and Bam.. Poof.. we fought some more.. but the brains.. they ate there spinach because they healed up nice . We attacked they attacked.. I got.. totally knocked out.. So Willy told me that he fly in a circle really really fast and decimated all the trees and saved the day.. Willy is awesome.. right.. so there ya go!!!

Assuming there were, three hours of hurricane force wind is essentially a blender.

On a similar note, Tchau had not gone to sleep, so he has everything.

Alubrin and all of his stuff are on the carpet, so he has everything.

Where Marcus was is the center of the storm, so he has everything.  The now dead were with him in his sheltor.

Everyone else was in the other shelter or outside, so anything you don't carry into battle is now gone.  It is either burned or was put into the blender.  If you have a something of holding, of course anything valuable was in that.

Damn it, that was a brand new tent!

Cloud has everything he owns in his bag of holding that isn't on his person.  It holds 2000lbs so people could have put there stuff in there.

Did the stone get destroyed or did I have time to put it in my bag of holding?  I had it out before the battle, but it never went off.  Your call.

We shouldn't linger here. Someone or something will certainly come to investigate.

I'll assume its small enough that you could have put it in a pouch quickly.

Everyone that is staying inside the shelters wouldn't have needed to have their sleeping gear.  If anyone had armor, you wouldn't have been wearing that, nor would you have put it in the bag of holding.  Likewise, anything else that you would have wanted access to in emergency, you would not have put into the bag.  Additional weapons, large spell component, things that don't fir in the bag of holding (not due to weight).

Vega lost his tent and sleeping gear. Rest of his stuff is in his own magical storage.

Note that he sleeps in his armor.

To answer a question that came up, if you get to 0 Con, you are dead.  If you get to 0 in any other score, you are 'helpless'.
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe
Post by: Asinjin on June 14, 2015, 01:59:19 PM
For you sorcerers that lost Charisma, remember that your max spell level able to cast is equal to your charisma score -10.

Also, if you have an item that increases your ability score, that item cannot take ability damage and if you reach 0 on your ability score item bonus not included, that item does not stop you from becoming 'helpless'.

Marcus, moving quite fast, makes circuits around the 'eye' area ostensibly keeping watch, but really looking for something to decimate with his magic.  once everyone is gathered he will cast Lesser Vigor to help heal everyone.  Yes, even Vega.

What is the total everyone gets from that?
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe

15 HP over 15 rounds.  I can do this several times if necessary, and it is.  I am hurt too

Also note, that you are all terribly dirty after a few minutes of the winds.  By the end of it, there is a foot or more of dirt covering you and the center of the area.

It may have, you will have to wait the three hours until the wind stops to find out.

Can it not be dismissed?

No, Control Winds cannot be dismissed.

As soon as the wind dies down I'll go out and search.

I'll help. We should scout the area anyway to make sure nothing else is out there.
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe

During the three hours:

- Cloud prepares new spells
- Marcus heals

Does anyone else cast anything or prepare anything before we get to the time of the wind stopping?

Tchau can't do to Charisma damage and Alubrin is still out of commission.
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe
Post by: Malchia on June 15, 2015, 10:14:15 PM
...and Alubrin is still out of commission.
I approach Alubrin, pop the cork from the bottle of air, and hold it up to his mouth.  "Breathe this in, the fresh air may help you feel better."

It does make him feel better.  Not enough to cast spells at this point, but enough to speak easy.
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe
Post by: Asinjin on June 25, 2015, 11:47:11 AM
We will pick up next week with the wind stopping.  Anything that is not done on the boards before that point does not get done.
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe
Post by: Hero on June 26, 2015, 07:40:04 AM
No, Control Winds cannot be dismissed.
It can be turned down though instead of dismissing, right?

I'd rather not sit here for 2.5 hours waiting for everything in a 5 mile radius to come see what all the commotion is about.

if Cloud reduces the wind to a manageable level we can be out of here before anyone/thing else gets here.

We need to make camp far away from here and recover. How far were those islands?
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe
Post by: Asinjin on June 26, 2015, 08:42:43 AM
The closest island is about a half mile off the coast.

You have to wait at least an hour because Cloud was preparing new spells.

Yes I lower it after roughly an hour when I am finished rememorizing my spells.

That's way too long. We wait an hour and something is bound to be waiting on the other side of that wind barrier. Something probably much worse than those 4-legged brains that just tore through us.

If I fly straight up from dead center of the eye of the storm, can I see anything outside the radius of the wind tunnel?  I'm looking for anyone or anything that may be heading in this direction.

You can't see anything below the canopy of the forest.

Fair enough.  Do I see anything approaching beyond the tree lines or descending from the sky?   
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe
Post by: Asinjin on June 27, 2015, 11:38:00 AM
Nothing descending from the sky.  There is no end to the tree line except the water on the three sides of the peninsula.

And what lies beyond the direction of the fourth side?  Is it forest as far as the eye can see or does it taper off into a wider body of land?

Forest as far as the eye can see, keeping in mind it is night time and that is not tens of miles even high up.  You don't see any signs of light peaking up from the trees indicating any towns or cities.

I land and relay all this to the group.  "We need to fly past the forest in that direction."  I point beyond the forest with my tiny pterodactyl arms.  "Gather your belongings and follow me.  Anyone who can fly should do so.  We'll need to put everyone else on those flying pieces of cloth that the mephit's were on.  They're fascinating, but there's no time to research them now...we need to find our friends."

So what's our plan?
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe
Post by: Asinjin on July 06, 2015, 10:21:15 PM
As of right now, I believe it is to slow the winds after a little more than an hour when Cloud has prepared new spells to see what is there.
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe
Post by: Hero on July 07, 2015, 06:57:07 AM
I do not like that plan. We should move sooner than 1 hour. Cloud can prepare spells after we relocate.
Title: Re: No Ability Score is Safe
Post by: Windblade on July 07, 2015, 09:43:51 AM
We need to stay.  If we get attacked again before I prepare spells then I will not be able to fight much.  If I had properly prepared for the last fight it would have been over in a few seconds. Just from the aerial view their is no large civilizations nearby so I don't believe we will attract anymore attention then we already have.

I agree.  I don't know how your previous 'adventures' have gone, dwarf, but I find that it is better to prepare, then rush off into the unknown, rather than the other way around.  The only reason things went the way they did just now is that we were caught unawares.

I was an undercover constable in Port Springs, responsible for bringing down a vile cabal lead by an insane wizard bent on bringing demons back to Habololy. I'll send you my resume when we get back to Habololy.

What you are suggesting is unwise. Criminals that linger at the scene of a crime are the easiest to arrest.

Something will come to investigate those explosions and this clearly unnatural tornado. Best we aren't here when that happens. There is a well worn trail not more than 100 yds away that leads to that fishing spot, which means there are living beings close enough to use it frequently, whether you can see them or not from the sky.

Dangerous to run off into the unknown, even more dangerous to sit and wait when we know something else is coming.

I hear what you are saying and it is a valid point but I think both options are very risky as is this whole mission so I would rather be prepared for what we face and this might be my only chance to do that in the next day or so.
