Umber

If it really took this long to make decisions, we’d all have been dead ten times over. (af, ler, pc, tad)

Bane says: Yo
Psydney says: what’s up?
Bane says: Assassings
Bane says: Assassins

 Serge has been added to the conversation.

Psydney says: they are an issue

 Magnus has been added to the conversation.

Bane says: (If every one has a second to discuss this)  We can teleport and attempt to wipe them out.
Magnus says: ok
Psydney says: how many charges left in the various helms?
Bane says: I think 1 is gone from each of them.
Magnus says: I think we’ve got 1 in my helm
Serge says: Portable hole?
Bane says: Plus Bane has a teleport memorized
Magnus says: and one TP/wout error
Magnus says: and one miracle
Psydney says: what’s the relationship between having scryed on a location and the teleport error chance?
Magnus says: If you can scry it you can TP there I think
Bane says: Hopefully only 3%
Psydney says: okay by me
Bane says: Can we all fit in one portable hole?
Psydney says: don’t think so. can we?
Bane says: Well K can take magnus and pydney maybe externally and the rest jump in the hole
Magnus says: proly could but who says we all have to go?>
Bane says: Very true
Magnus says: TP is limited to an additional 500 or so pounds
Bane says: at 18th level?
Magnus says: 50/level BUT the helms are at 9th
Bane says: Right, unless K casts it.
Serge says: Could have Psy polymorph, jump on Magnus who takes the helm there and back…
Magnus says: 3 rounds
Bane says: Two assassins could be a problem for low spotters
Psydney says: that suggests Serge
Psydney says: and/or Psydney
Magnus says: very much so
Magnus says: and psydney
Bane says: and Pysdney minimum
Bane says: We should all be able to go thou?  Nothing is really stopping us with 2 ph’s.
Serge says: 500 pounds…
Psydney says: depending on what level assassin they are, serge would have the best chance of avoiding nasty sneak attacks
Serge says: Oh how I love the death attacks…
Psydney says: :-)
Bane says: It is getting kinda old, eh?
Magnus says: hehe
Psydney says: the only issue about everybody going is the old conservation of resources thing
Magnus says: nah
Magnus says: no argument from me here
Serge says: I don’t suppose you could just wake up your dragon friend and let him fight them off?
Bane says: True, but we are technically at the end of the day in terms of sleeping.   Unless it is a trick to exhaust us from returning to Blasingdale…
Bane says: Dragon’s not very high level I am guessing.
Bane says: Also, no way to wake him..
Magnus says: unless there is a time limit on our expeditions in the mounds
Bane says: Maybe, be we should be able to be there and back within an hour.
Bane says: (assuming we survive the assassins)
Psydney says: if it takes an hour, we’ve got bigger problems
Bane says: “within”  :)
Psydney says: so do we have consensus that somebody should go?
Psydney says: I vote for Enai
Psydney says: :-)
Bane says: haha
Serge says: heh
Bane says: Hey, I WANT the dragon to survive…
Serge says: Somehow Enai inside a cave seems like a superball in a jar….
Bane says: No running room.  Like a bird with wings
Bane says: without
Bane says: I say we all go.  Including our Golem buddy.
Bane says: Gives him a chance to see the world… (or something)
Magnus says: iron golems are like 20000 pounds
Bane says: So he won’t fit in the whole?
Bane says: hole?
Serge says: Sure, put him next to the forklift and the stone table you’ve got in there…
Bane says: Sounds like a plan to me…
Psydney says: :-
Psydney says: )
Bane says: Okay, so what’s the decision?  Everyone going but golem dude?
Magnus says: I’m ok with it… it will take everything to get there, so no coming back today except for Miracle…
Psydney says: okay by me
Bane says: Sounds good.
Bane says: (Granted won’t it only take 2 teleports? 4 round trip?)
Psydney says: so who’s gonna tell the DM?
Bane says: I guess I can.
Psydney says: cool
Magnus says: it will take all 3 TP’s
Magnus says: because Magnus is ~700 lbs
Bane says: Hmmm
Bane says: Viewed once                     01-76               77-88               89-96               97-100
Bane says: Viewed Once:  On target (1-76), Off target (77-88) Similiar area (89-96) Mishap (97-100)
Psydney says: that’s what i was afraid of. not great odds
Magnus says: Hmm
Bane says: http://www.opengamingfoundation.org/srd/srdspellst.html
Serge says: we have one teleport w/out error, yes?
Bane says: w/o error:
Bane says: As teleport, except there is no chance the character arrives off target. The character must have at least a reliable description of the place to which the character is teleporting. If the character attempts to teleport with insufficient information (or with misleading information), the character disappears and simply reappears in the character’s original location.
Psydney says: sounds more promising to me
Bane says: The character and touched objects or other touched willing creatures weighing up to 50 lb./level
Psydney says: but now we’re back to figuring out who to send
Magnus says: 900 lbs
Magnus says: caster + 900 lbs
Magnus says: that basically says everyone but magnus, really
Serge says: Or Magnus and no one else…
Magnus says: uh, no
Serge says: Or Me, Psyd, Magnus and K
Magnus says: he’d be mostly useless
Magnus says: Magnus = 700lbs remember
Bane says: Bane’s not that heavy either.
Magnus says: yeah, but everyone is atleast 150 lbs
Serge says: Sure, but if psyd polymorphs
Bane says: Bane’s 200.
Psydney says: tiny vipers don’t weigh much
Psydney says: but it takes me a round to get into attack mode
Bane says: What’s K and Psydney approx?
Bane says: and Serge?
Serge says: True — but if at least two others go, then we can distract for the first round…
Psydney says: this is true. it’s fine with me
Serge says: Heh.. my sheet doesn’t have a weight.  6’1″ human…
Bane says: Probably 200 lbs then
Serge says: sounds ’bout right
Bane says: Psydney, are you less than 300 lbs (assuming Enai is 200)
Psydney says: in what form? stone giant, definitely not. elf, probably.
Bane says: Probably elf (?) given that we are suppose to be dinner?
Psydney says: dinner?
Bane says: evening meal
Serge says: ..supposed to be *at* dinner…
Bane says: “What wonders we have seen this day!” exclaims Enai as you take your evening meal.
Psydney says: oh – that’s not relevant – when we’re travelling psydney’s almost never an elf
Bane says: ah, was wondering.
Bane says: I guess you can polymorph this round.  Then we teleport on the second?
Serge says: And who goes with the teleport and who goes with the teleport w/out error?
Bane says: All without error
Bane says: minus Magnus
Bane says: (AKA the cow)
Bane says: :)
Psydney says: it only takes me an action to polymorph, so we can do it all in one round
Bane says: Okay, we’ll go with that.
Serge says: So Magnus is going to try and teleport there or just stay put?
Psydney says: and, not to throw an additional wrench in the works, who’s going to keep the doomheart pieces once we split up the party?
Psydney says: either way could be a trick – or a coincidence
Bane says: Very true…
Bane says: gah
Bane says: I can hear Skip laughing right now…
Bane says: (manically of course)
Magnus says: have to go for a sec, be back in a few
Bane says: Magnus can keep one piece, Kul can take the other.
Bane says: Either way, both are separated so if either side is a trap, we only lose one piece.
Psydney says: that’s a good idea
Bane says: K, I’ll write something up and send it to the group first.
Psydney says: cool.
<time passes, and we think we’re done>
Psydney says: um, not to throw yet another wrench in the works after we’ve made a nice decision, but magnus is the one with see invisibility at will…
Serge says: You and I have good spots, and if they go invisible can  K cast imvisibility purge or see invisible?
Bane says: Is there any way we can get him there?  One portable hole is open on the ground (it holds the crystal ball and probably the egg part of the doomheart).
Serge says: It’s a weight problem, not a space problem, no?
Psydney says: which sticking him in a portable hole would solve
Bane says: In the portable hole, he weights nothing.
Serge says: Ahh
Bane says: Well relative to us that is.  He’s still about the size of a large cow.
Bane says: bull
Bane says: ;)
Serge says: I like cow…
Serge says: We need more transportation helms
Bane says: Helms with teleport with error.
Bane says: without
Psydney says: or a fleet of wayfarer guides on permanent retainer
Serge says: exactly… we seem to have this kind of problem alot… relocating the whole party is a pain…
Psydney says: and you weren’t even playing when we had to walk everywhere
