Saturday, February 5th, 402 (1:21 a.m.) [15]: [Reldmun is able to heal himself for 1 h.p.] “I want to thank you for your discovery and disposal of this creature of the night,” Anders replies [to Ydoran’s explanation of the group’s goings-on the past day].  “It clearly had access to some powerful sorcery that, if left […]

Saturday, February 5th, 402 (1:19 a.m.) [15]: The shadow creature moves toward Reldmun, passing directly through Caleb’s wall to do so, and grips Reldmun firmly on the shoulder with its tendrilous fingers, leaving a nasty mark that simultaneously burns and chills him to the bone [3 hp]. Konishi withdraws for a second, then rushes at […]

Yes, that title is a pun from a Willa Cather novel (and not a very exciting one, from what I remember).  Clearly this combat needs to end soon, as I’m running out of material! Saturday, February 5th, 402 (1:17 a.m.) [15]: With great effort, Ydoran climbs the ladder to the forecastle immediately after Reldmun and, […]

Ryan brought to my attention that Reldmun’s Detect Magic spell, since it can detect through solid materials, would be able to pick up the colour of the wand Ydoran was keeping under cover while the party was in the forecastle earlier in the day.  So, for the record, it was giving off a platinum-like glow […]

I’ve received a message from Kane telling me he’s going to need to go on hiatus for some time, so I’ll be taking over his character for now (unless one of you would like to help out – let me know!). And you’re right, Ryan, Konishi is (to the best of my knowledge) still using […]

I could have sworn someone lent Quinn some items (or at least a weapon of some sort) before or during the trip, but I can’t find any reference to it anywhere.  I can only find Reldmun’s offer to Quinn to lend him some items (from Shane’s 04/20/2014 email, Tortes Illustrated), which was met with no […]

In principle it’s a little bit different for bards, Shane, as (unlike magi) don’t so much research their spells as happen upon them (as per PHB pg 42: “Since bards are dabblers rather than full time wizards, their spells tend to be gained by serendipity and happenstance.”).  As a result, their spells would tend to […]

Friday, February 4th, 402 (11:25 a.m.) [14]: [A word of caution, Ryan: I’m assuming Ydoran is fairly discreet with the wand, so as not to arouse suspicion (both on and off the ship), so I assume by extension he’s not whipping it out and pointing it at things (mind out of the gutter, Shane), just […]

Friday, February 4th, 402 (11:20 a.m.) [14]: [I’ll answer Shane’s question in a footnote * since it’s involved…] “I’ll see what I can do,” Caleb replies [to Ydoran’s suggestion he may have some illusionist magic that could help].  “But if we run into trouble, I wouldn’t count on me to be a great help – […]

Friday, February 4th, 402 (11:05 a.m.) [14]: “It does seem very lifelike,” Caleb agrees, “Except for the gold colour, of course.”  After some thought, he adds (in a quiet tone, despite there not being any sailors in the immediate area), “Reldmun was mentioning his ability to detect evil.  He talked about casting his spell on […]
