Ravenloft: Origins OOC-Chat

[Le Noir Faineant]

I didn't play all the combat actions out, because I am not sure how you will react to the current turn of events...

If you decide to continue attacking, however, I'll post a battle map and all...

But i didnt shave my legs!!!

Damn it! Haste is a cool spell too.

VAN, whose side are you on?

You are absolutely right ! I didn't know it, I don't know your levels and classes. I have only made a question, actually I have thought he casted it from a wand or scroll.

I consider haste one of the most important spells and it would be really cool if we had it.

However, this misunderstanding makes me think that the first thing we should do in game when we have some free time (and if we survive) is to speak a bit about our spells. It would be easier in that way to prepare the next day's spells and avoid getting the same. I suppose we should be able to take care of almost all situations in that way, but with Raf you never know...

A map will be great, but I prefer not continue the battle. They are so many of them, there are many wizards among them and we are not in our best condition. If we let them leave we can free Ezra soon after.

No way- she'll have died by then. Gotta free her now and heal her body. Oh yeah, and kill Lodisssio!

Shana's spell does never leave her lips - one of the women from behind has raised her arm and drawn a shining rune into the hot air of this endless night...

Shana will find that she is suddenly unable to speak...

Well, since we're in a rules handling mood, may I point out that Annoying Woman is in for a serious disappointment? I'm a Sorceress not a Bard. The Sorcerer/Wizard version of Hypnotic Pattern has no Verbal component.

Maybe a little late for this question, but I have to ask: Do we know for sure if the woman in the machine is really Ezra??

I've been searching for any clue Raf gave us but didn't find anything yet...thoughts anyone?

Do... Do you mean that 3e doesn't use the classic spell component program (voice/performance/ingredient) scheme any more. ...Or maybe that was one of our house rules...

Okay then, I'll fix things with my next post.

Those who had the dream at the Borderstone will find that she looks exactly like the figure they met in that dream...

Very good point, Fernando! T'was about time that somebody asked!

[Le Noir Faineant]

EDIT: Just that the woman in your dream was not an albino, while the woman on the torture engine is one. (Pale skin, white hair, red eyes.)

Actually, hypnotic pattern never had a verbal component, even back in 1e; it's almost the only spell that didn't back then, before the advent of Silent Spell feats and suchlike. Most 3.5 spells have the standard verbal/somatic/material components; hypnotic pattern is just an exception.

It does, but not all spells have all components. There aren't many that don't have somatic (performance) or verbal but they do exist, and there are several that don't have components. Actually, for me they almost all don't because I Eschew Materials (tm). I mention this largely because "Eschew" is a cool word.

Very good point, Fernando! T'was about time that somebody asked!

Actually, Shana largely doesn't care. She only has the dimmest idea who Ezra even is. The figure is being tortured to power the spell, the spell is devastating the countryside including at least one sizeable town, and Lodissio is a treacherous liar. That's quite enough motivation: Ezra Schmezra!

Hey wait! I have wondered that too. Inovidil has made that thought, how is possible for a goddess to be trapped like this and she also has recalled Shana's words "that there were plenty of illusions around".

Sorry kintire, I hadn't looked the exact words but Shana said something like that back at Treents' forest.

The dimension door comes to my mind that doesn't have somatic.

You have "eschew matterial" That's a very cool feat! I have get it once too and has saved the life of our party.

I agree. inovidil is an outlander, she has seen Ezra sometimes in temples but she doesn't really care if she is trully her or not. She wants to save her from the macchine, but she cares to find out if that is really somene innocent there or it's all a trick or if someone tries to manipulate them. For this reason she puts the end of her staff in the blood to interract with a possible illusion. She also says to let the women and children leave.

Blaise isn't thinking in those terms. His history with Ezra has been an emotional roller coaster, and the sight of her being tortured (whether it's really her or not!) is hitting all his anger button. And he's not a calm, rational guy to start. Attack!
