Habololy Forum

If Yoshi would like to ask his Divinations on the boards that would save time in game.

This would be the Divination spell (https://dndtools.net/spells/players-handbook-v35--6/divination--3543/. We get one question “concerning a specific goal, event, or activity that is to occur within one week.” 80% chance to successfully get a piece of useful advice in a format that can be a direct or cryptic. I will know if it fails.

Since I only have enough materials to do this once, I’ll ask the group for input on the question before casting. To lead off discussion, I propose: “How do we safely return to Melg in the Orcish Empire on the main continent of Habololy in our appropriate place in the timeline?”

Feedback and suggestions welcome. I would hope we don’t have to worry about deliberate misinformation or trickery in response since Yoshi is a cleric asking his deity for advice to support a mission that the Old Orc wants to be successful. Unless of course the gopher of lost knowledge is interfering.

Yoshi takes 20 (total 25) to search the area where the orc skeletons came from. Looking for any of their former belongings that might provide a clue as to where/when we are. A coin with a year stamped on it, a military insignia, etc.

Yes. We now know the strategy of our enemy, and should adjust our preparations to match. Protection against projectiles. Resistance to cold and fear. Spells to combat darkness. Divinations to locate a person.Defense against summoned creatures.

Fellow divine casters, the following could be helpful in an encounter with the Gopher:

• Locate Object (3rd) to pinpoint his location (used on his crossbow, which we should be familiar with)
• Spiritual Weapon (2nd), when paired with Locate Object, will indicate position to everyone
• Mass Conviction (3rd) to defend against memory loss and fear
• Mass Resist Energy (3rd) to defend against cold spells
• Dispel Magic (3rd) to get rid of lingering spell effects
• Wieldskill (1st) to get a bonus on Escape Artist checks when grappled
• Obscuring Mist (1st) or Wind Wall (3rd) for defense against ranged attacks (though neither are mobile)
• Daylight (3rd) for combating darkness

A lot of potentially useful 3rd level spells. Yoshi can prepare 2, which will be Dispel Magic and Locate Object. Can anyone cover some other 3rd level?

Also for consideration Daylight, Cloak of Bravery and Magic Circle would also be useful, but no available capacity.

Since I'm completely out of spells, including cantrips, I thank Lohren for his hospitality and try to get my 8 hours. Before drifting off to sleep, I confer with my fellow Clerics on spell strategy for the next day. "My friends, should we focus again on Transmutation or do you feel a new strategy is in order with an assassin on our trail? I'd hate to put Lohren and his family at any more risk than they already are."

Yes. We now know the strategy of our enemy, and should adjust our preparations to match. Protection against projectiles. Resistance to cold and fear. Spells to combat darkness. Divinations to locate a person.Defense against summoned creatures.

So the words are still written but we just forget everytime we read it?

Yoshi’s personal notes are usually written in Horarian because it’s more elegant and space efficient than common.

What did Yoshi hear the disembodied voice say?

I’ll share it with the group, but guessing they probably won’t remember.

A question for Yoshi: do you still have the magic basket or did you give that back to the cleric?

Gave it back with the constructive feedback to not leave a blessed item laying around so recklessly.

Because this came up in session a few weeks ago:
