Can't Fox's Cunning as a cleric :-/

I don't know of anything I have. The only spell I have that gives a skill boost is personal. If you happen to have Use Magic Device, though, I can loan you a scroll.

Sorry, but I don't. If you guys want it in the future, I'm going to need a scroll. And scribing cash. Or just cash for the scroll and scribing ...

Too bad. I must do without, then.

[Rock of the Fraternity]

This, then, is my finalized spell list for the day. Let's hope it suffices.

Lev. 5 - Mass Fly (to be cast before battle)

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

Lev. 3 - Dispel Magic (ideally to be cast before battle; starting shot?), Fireball x 3

Lev. 2 - False Life (to be cast before battle), Invisibility, Scorching Ray x 3

Lev. 1 - Mage Armor (to be cast before battle), Magic Missile x 3, Shield (to be cast before battle)

Lev. 0 - Detect Magic, Disrupt Undead x 2, Resistance

In the next few hours I'll be putting up the combat map and round-timer and all that fun stuff, as well as rough positions for everyone.

You can still maneuver around and cast any pre-battle spells or what not, but at the end you will also post your first combat round.

Twenty-four hours after that, Cavendish will respond, and the game, as they say, will be afoot!

[Kaitou Kage]

As long as you're done and ready by 10pm your time >_>

Otto, how do the Gloves of Manual Dexterity work again?

Gloves of Manual Prowess, actually (now that I looked it up again)

Anyway, it's 3 charges a day for bonuses to your next Disable Device, Forgery, Open Lock, Sleight of Hand, or Use Rope check (which you have to make that round):

1 Charge: +5
2 Charges: +7
3 Charges: +10

[NeoTiamat]

Okay! Preliminary map is up!

You still have time to change all of the above factors (your position, gun powder's position, avenue of attack from the undead), but in absence of contradiction, we are in combat now!

[Kaitou Kage]

Everyone, please make sure you cast all your buffs that last in minutes or longer. And make a note if they are going to affect the whole party or just your group. Lia's Mass Fly, for example, could be cast on multiple people.

[yalenusveler]

Everyone will be going in under a mass conviction (+3 morale to saves, 80 minute duration.), and there will be 50 Undead Bane Bullets.

[The Whistler]

Before I fire, just want to make sure the cannon team is getting the most bang for our buck... Otto has a +9 to Craft (gunsmithing) checks...does that outrank Dieter's bonus in Profession (siege engineer)? If not, then I'll let him do the firing.

If yes...then I'm thinking of taking out the black-armored baddie closest to us. Any objections?

[NeoTiamat]

Dieter has a +7, so fire away!

[NeoTiamat]

Oh, quick reminder, but also choose which kind of shot to use. Cannonball, Grapeshot, or Canister. Details are in the previous post where I discuss cannons.

[Kaitou Kage]

I will entrust the targeting and weapon choice to you, Otto!

Maybe Dieter and Otto should each make the roll just in case?

[NeoTiamat]

Wooooooooooooosh.

250 Bonus XP each to Kage and to Whistler for very nice start-of-combat posts.

Also, it's a little under two hours till my next post, so I am going to start working on my end. If you haven't posted yet, you have till I finish writing or till two hours are passed, whichever comes first (yes, my posts take that long. Pity me).
