*snickers* All right. I am pondering the wisdom of giving Grimmric a spiritual weapon >->

What you choose to give the little guy is entirely your call. ^^ Though you might install a few spells in people other than my familiar.

[Kaitou Kage]

Eh, everyone else has their own actions they can take, many of which are better for them than a 1st or 2nd level cleric spell. Grimmric can do things, but normally doesn't, which makes him the best choice for spell imbuing as long as Lia and Grimmric don't object.

New cutscene up!

And no, the PCs do not have a monopoly on high strangeness in EoA.

Sorry to disappoint anyone who was hoping I'd be an aerial scout -- or provide the means to be -- but I pass. All it takes is a few ghouls or other undead who remember how to use rifles and have Life sense, and I/you'd be first flying targets and then falling Swiss cheese. ^^;

Obviously, Professor Devereux's parents should have named him Hieronymus.

The Lorelei

[Rock of the Fraternity]

Nice one! She looks younger than I'd thought of her, though.

Alright, I am notifying everyone of my intended spell selection for the coming day. If you see anything wrong with it, speak up now before I finalize it!

Lev. 5 - Arc of Lightning

Lev. 4 - Evard's Black Tentacles, Force Missiles, Greater Invisibility

Lev. 3 - Fireball x 2, Fly, Haste

Lev. 2 - Cat's Grace, False Life, Invisibility, Scorching Ray x 2

Lev. 1 - Expeditious Retreat, Mage Armor, Magic Missile x 3

Lev. 0 - Caltrops, Detect Magic, Disrupt Undead, Ghost Sound

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Justification:

Lev. 4 - Greater Invisibility i/o another Force Missile: we might be able to blindside something tough again, as during the first battle.

Lev. 3 - Fly i/o another Fireball: Lia can fly 5 rounds out of every hour, and someone else might need to take to the unfriendly skies. The Fly spell provides 9 minutes of flight, so ...

Lev. 2 - Invisibility, when I also took Greater Invisibility. We're not the only ones who can cast Dispel Magic. If enough people feel this spell is useless, I could be persuaded to trade it for another Scorching Ray.

Lev. 1 - I am not budging on Expeditious Retreat here.

Lev. 0 - Caltrops, or another Detect spell? Maybe a Mage Hand?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So. Opinions, advice? I'd like to optimize the selection for the coming death hike. ^^;

[Kaitou Kage]

Honestly, I'd suggest more disrupt undead at 0-level. It's a fine spell when you consider what we're doing.

I have a slew of 0-level spell slots I never use for much besides cure minor wounds so I can do a bunch of detect magic.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

I figured Caltrops for if we had to run away and undead were following us, and Ghost Sound to trick undead sentries into walking away from our position if we were trying to sneak past. If you do the Detect Magic bit today, I can add a second Disrupt Undead, I guess ...

[Kaitou Kage]

Just remember, you can't cover every contingency So don't spread yourself too thin. We have a bunch of people on the party that have different roles, so you can forgo some "utility" spells on Lia's list for matters that other folks can handle (i.e., using Bluff to create a diversion the same way you suggest using ghost sound). Keep that in mind when picking spells

Anyway, those folks that want one of Kuzan's strip-searches, if you would like to do a brief RP chat over the examination (Kuzan and Lia had one), please let me know.

[yalenusveler]

Just a head's up. I have LARP this weekend, and will be back on Sunday.

[NeoTiamat]

Well, a question. Do you people want to move onward to the graveyard right away, or discuss/plan/chat a few more days? (Say....till Sunday?)

[Nathan of the FoS]

Either way. I'm going to be largely absent until Monday myself (sister coming to town for the weekend).
