You missed an intense, crazy session. D: Almost a TPK! And I might have caused it! ;~;
Proooobably, yes. :> I'm really impressed with all the flavor Veekie came up with for the randomly generated sword, feels like it could end up being a central plot piece.
Zeni would be really annoyed if her draconic heritage actually came up as a thing, but it'd be a sort of neat connection to the plot if more dragon things are on the horizon.
Meh, it's just not something she feels fits her 'identity.' Her family never made mention of it, might not have known of it themselves (unlikely) and it only came up when her mentor figured it out as the source of her magic, etc. Learning that as a young adult, she didn't think it 'fit' her well, hence trying hard to become a warlock.
Perhaps her dragon blood is why no fiends were taking her offer? Dunnoooo.
Anyway, Alyssa and Lien will take 20 to source for information about troop movements. And Alyssa will also take 20 to gather information about these faiths safely.No take 20 in 5e for this kind of thing, but Lien's help can give Alyssa advantage on the roll to gather information.

Just as a current tally of wealth, we each have the following:
130g 487s 875c
Broken down:
187g 4s 5c
Note that a large chunk of the 'gold' count is actually held as gems, I just broke those down too, for simplicity. Actually selling gems doesn't make much sense because of their 1:1 trade ratio, just think of them as very large coins.
The gold lump is un-fixed and unsold and there are 9 gems we got from the sacrifice place haven't even been identified, appraised, or sold. This makes the 200g self-mending clothes a wildly expensive purchase. xD We can probably individually afford them once those gems are ID'd, but it doesn't make much sense to.
That said, Zeni's purchasing a 25g fire-resistance dress and possibly putting down half the money for a custom-made regenerating one that she'll have to pick up another time, haven't worked that out with veekie yet.
I was pretty bothered by us ignoring it too. xD Lien was the only one that could see it and for some reason wasn't pointing it out to the rest of us, I had the feeling Justy had side infos on what it was and was trolling us. :< If Lien actually saw something dangerous in game, why wouldn't she point it out? "It's over there, avoid it." How could we avoid it without knowing where it was?
[06:22:41] <Lien> "Hold. Weird thing." Lien signals for the others to stop.The only private information I had was "it doesn't look like it cares about you", which I did communicate. As I see it, it's basically a predator who's just eaten - not hungry, but not to be provoked (and not to be near when it gets hungry again).

[06:25:45] <Lien> "It... It's got a skeleton, but it doesn't look too interested in us? Move on, but keep an eye on it."

As I see it, it's basically a predator who's just eaten - not hungry, but not to be provoked (and not to be near when it gets hungry again).Pretty much my thoughts. Almost certainly another shambling mound, which we'd rather not get into a fight with right after the gargoyles. Last time we had the good fortune to lock it down and we still nearly lost a party member during the surprise round alone. With all of us a little battered and low on spell slots/ki points/superiority dice, it'd be a much riskier fight the second time around.
[06:24:30] <Zeni> another shambling mound? ; ;T_T It's bothering meee! Tell me your secrets, stupid smaller-than-a-shambling-mound bush! And Lien totally would've pointed it out. :<
[06:24:37] <[DM]> smaller
[06:24:46] <[DM]> it apparently looked at you

She openly talked about it to the other party members, which implies that she did. I mean, I guess I didn't explicitly post "Lien points at the thing and tells everyone it's there", but I'd think the two lines constitute a pointing out. That was the intent, in any case.Quote from: OOC Channel, not private[06:24:30] <Zeni> another shambling mound? ; ;T_T It's bothering meee!

Control Flames
Transmutation cantrip
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 60 feet
Components: S
Duration: Instantaneous or 1 hour (see below)
You choose nonmagical flame that you can see within range and that fits within a 5-foot cube. You affect it in one of the following ways:
• You instantaneously expand the flame 5 feet in one direction, provided that wood or other fuel is present in the new location.
• You instantaneously extinguish the flames within the cube.
• You double or halve the area of bright light and dim light cast by the flame, change its color, or both. The change lasts for 1 hour.
• You cause simple shapes—such as the vague form of a creature, an inanimate object, or a location—to appear within the flames and animate as you like. The shapes last for 1 hour.
If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action.
Oh, yeah, I know, and a sorcerer can twin spells... so 2x agonizing eldritch blasts a turn. Gets absurd pretty quickly. :> Going Sorcerer 3 and Warlock 2 enables that combo at level 5, which is nuts, but I'm going the less min-max route of going ~sorcerer 8 then warlock 2, if we get that far. At level 6 sorcerer, Zeni will add cha to all fire damage, so Scorching Ray will become pretty absurd, but that's far more costly than just EB spam.
Thanks, though!
W-What, is that an actual tip or just a joke? ;~;
Vanilla confirmed for DMPC. THAT DM.
It's really not a lot to ask that she simply avoid delivering killing blows to things that might possibly be related to Yeenoghu's interests and/or the prophecy. xD Any one of us could've told you that finishing the paladin with it was a pretty bad idea.I did, as a matter of fact.
Owwwch... :< Are you sure its the mobo? It can often be difficult to narrow things down to being the mobo without spare parts.
Regardless, good luck. T_T I'm good at hardware stuffs if you need any help!
Power supplies die with far greater frequency than motherboards and none of your steps ruled that out! When you attempt to power on, does the PSU fan spin up at all? Does the diagnostic light (or any light) on the mobo ever come on? If you're getting NOTHING it's far more likely its the PSU, imo!
If it's just the PSU then that won't take too much money to replace. :3
Oh and most motherboards need at least one stick of ram in to even begin POSTing, the proper way to test ram is to have one in DIMM0 and swap that stick with another till it has failed to boot with each one etc.

That aside, sorry about lagging behind with the logs. :'3 No excuse, just lazy.
I'm down for option 2 and 5 and I propose 2 other options.This is functionally destroying it/trading it. You won't get the same type of magic item back.
6) Format Last Blood and rewrite it into another weapon, it is after all only a magical item and not an artifact, and hence it would probably take an arc to accomplish that.
7) Alyssa leaves the party, I have a new character already written up that would be a better addition to the party. Storywise, the easiest would be that Alyssa leaves to lure the "wild hunt" away, and goes on her own adventures.The hellhounds are not the Wild Hunt. There are still a few conditions to be fulfilled for that.
1) Elemental rivalry.
And questions for Veekie: I know that fire elementals won't like Zeni carrying a staff composed of elemental water into their border region, but would the earth elementals give a damn about it? Would they like it? Would stowing it in the bag of holding affect anything?
... Is using fireball to open the gate going to upset the earth elementals right beside us? I don't really imagine so, but just being safe, Zeni's knowledge roll should give her at least a hint on that.See above elemental chart.
Flaw: I am slow to trust members of other races, tribes, and societies.Are you sure you want this? xD Not very conducive for suddenly joining the party out of nowhere.

Other than that, sounds okay. Maybe let's just OOC summarize how it goes? Also rip gauntlets. :<
Or you could just pick one instead of rolling or come up with one that isn't in the book.
