Yes! AGREE'D. One of the coolest things you've managed to pull off is the variety of encounter types/giving everyone a chance to shine. Can't wait to see what you do with other PCs' subplots...

Will answer total comments after Rock puts his two cents in.

Well, maybe Ulsaon and Lia could share the spellbook between them until they've copied out everything they like? ^^; The rod, I don't care about myself.

NeoTiamat wrote:First question is, as usual, how did you like the battle?
I thought it was intense, though this may be due in part to my low hp. ^^; But I definitely liked the tactical difficulties, even if it took some puzzling to get around the enemy's displacement. Having multiple opponents also made it interesting.
NeoTiamat wrote:Second question is, how did you like the mystery this time around? Particularly compared with Book Two?
I quite liked it. It allowed all of us to pursue various angles, based on our own characters' ways of doing things. A bit more guidance at times might have moved things along faster, but I would definitely keep this general structure, maybe toss in a few extra clues now and then if you want to speed things up.

Yay prestige classes! Just took my first level in Pistoleer. :D Huzzah for shooting at things!

I was going to say "guess I'm the only non-spellcaster in the group, now," but then I remembered: "hey, Guardian of All Wolves Everywhere, and also you have druid superpowers." Funny how that hits you at weird times...

I'll just keep leveling as a cleric, shall I? Righto ;)

If absolutely nobody else wants the Extend rod, Kuzan can put it to good use. There're many cleric spells and buffs that work quite nicely when extended. BUT! Assuming people are going to be commissioning magic items between now and the next book, I'm going to have lots of other things going on (scrolls, assorted wondrous items, etc.). So, if someone else wants it, please, please please please take it. I definitely do NOT want to hoard it, and it has good use for any spellcaster (Andre? Ulsaon?)

Also, I'm working on editing and cleaning up the magic items chart x__x I'll re-link it after we get our treasure at the end.

For what it's worth, Cevdet used the rod to extend his buff spells with hour/level durations up to 18 hour durations, which means he always had False Life and Greater Mage Armor active, among others.

Hmn. If KK is reluctant about taking it, and no one else has staked a firm claim on the metamagic rod of extend, NT could always roll a d6 over irony dice and see who it falls to from the spellcasters.

1 - Andre
2 - Charles
3 - Kuzan
4 - Lia
5 - Otto
6 - Ulsaon

I'm not reluctant. I just want everyone else to have a fair chance at it. I anticipate swimming in magic items and while an extend rod may not break the game, I don't want to take it if someone else could use it when I may have a lot of stuff myself.

If nobody else wants it, then I'll be happy to take it, but I want everyone else to have a shot at it first.

I suppose it would be useful for Mage armor, Haste and Fly spells ... If no one else wants it very badly, I'll take it after all.

I decline as Ulsaon has Allikhain's items, well until she rectifies that in the next book.
