Just to clarify, Ya'shenn wasn't attempting to impersonate Lythe there.  The Bluff check was to conceal the fact that she's wounded from the not-very-nice NPCs.

Also, Burning, Ya'shenn hasn't actually healed Vaar yet -- though she was about to.  Want her to?  Cool

Hmm.  If I've counted Ya'shenn's power points correctly, she's down to 19 of them.  Vancian spellcasting/manifestation sucks.

Hi all!  Sorry, I was

Hi all!  Sorry, I was going to post yesterday, but this working multiple jobs thing is, well, it kind of sucks.  On a better note, I'm in training most of this coming week, so won't be quite as busy.  Anyway, BS asked about the contents of the open vault, which I will list starting with what I've already described.  Now, the PCs have the keys, and can open one of the three remaining vaults if they want, but a) Mr. Muscle would get mad, b) it would take up more time, and c) there's the small matter of possible traps.  Master Lavendar would've wanted the weapon vault quickly and easily accessable (and the weapons clearly labeled) in case of gith attack, but the money might be another matter altogether.

Note that while I'll list the +s, the PCs would only have a general idea of the weapon quality.  So, without further ado, the open vault contains ... 

- Abyssal Steel longsword +3

- (x12) Various long- and broadswords ranging from +2 to +3  

- (x6) Spears from +1 to +3 (the lightning spear Du'minh threw at Violet was single-use and is now ruined)

- A dozen shocking burst arrows

- A dozen arrows +2, of elvin make 

- Golden tower shield +4, plus matching helm, breastplate, gauntlets and bracers

- (x3) Maces +2 to +3

- (x4) Battleaxes +2 to +3, mostly of dwarven make

- A greataxe that is actually a frost giant-sized handaxe +3 icey burst 

- Dwarven warhammer +2, able to be thrown and returning.

- over two dozen various smaller shivs (shortswords and daggers), mostly +2

- A matched pair of shortwords +1, wounding

- A Mace of Smiting (+3 heavy mace, +5 vs constructs)

- A Longsword +3, undead bane (+5 vs undead, doing additional 2d6 damage)

Just pointing out here that some healing items (or something along the lines of a crystal capacitor) would be highly desirable as loot. After healing Ii'Jyka'Vaar, Ya'shenn will be down to 15 power points or so, and the party has like, 4 more sections of Illithid House to go through. :s

If you hadn't figured in the power drain from a mindlink with K'tch, assume Ya'shenn did mindlink with him ant then used a crystal capacitor at Gy-Nath's]

Lesser Mindlink, not greater. (The only real difference is that a lesser mindlink costs 1 power point and is with only one person, while a greater mindlink is 5 power points/multiple persons.)  Yes, she has a mindlink currently with K'tch but not with Ar'dru.

 No, Baatorian steel is green, Abyssal steel is blood-red.

BTW, DM says 3 turns go by while you chat & loot.

Yea, same stats.  Really just window dressing calling 'em broadswords.  Only real differance is a broadswod is always a slashing weapon, never stabbing.

I might have miscounted, but I also think there were some attacks that you thought hit, which in fact did not.

But anyway, with my math, MH is in single-digit hp land.

If that's the case, I really want to keep those 4 power points that would otherwise be used to heal her.  :P  I want to clarify that I don't intend to be mean-spirited here, but Ya'shenn should conserve her power points for those who can't self-heal.

I am interested in: -

I am interested in:

- Abyssal Steel longsword +3, for roleplay purposes..

-  A Mace of Smiting, for the reason that i am anti 'living' with my ,main weapon, and this nicely adds to my capabilities, but then again, so does the Undead Bane Long Sword... ehm...

the Dwarven throw/ returner, is also nice as a odd missile addition, but i am not to keen on it...

Any body else have any preferences?

Is it to be just a load of cash generation, these weapons or are they also to complement our offensive capabilities? 

any thoughts people?

I'm leaning toward one of the longswords for Ya'shenn.  Mostly because, after the Tamers in the sewer, carrying a sword is probably a good idea.  Of course, if the party ever has to rely on Ya'shenn's melee abilities...  Laughing

quite simple, per combat

quite simple, per combat round she gains a half of her lvl, (class lvls 7:2 =3) so 3 hitpoints, she can get full again, but it takes to long to do so effectively atm...(during the combat i wasn't gaining enough damage to not fast heal myself 'effectively'...

The fast healing was nice because so long as i did not receive massive damage from npc's, i was staying level with my hp on average in regards to my weapon biting me also (vicious - dmg)

Ya'shenn was inclined to heal Ii, but has not done so yet.  IMO, spending about 20% of Ya'shenn's remaining power point reserve to heal someone who regenerates 3 hp per round (and I was planning to transfer around 11 hp), when not in combat, is a waste, especially given that the party has many many combats ahead.  *sigh*

At this rate, Ya'shenn is going to be at 0 power points for most of Illithid House. 

But yes, she WAS getting ready to heal the knight.

If Ya'shenn had healed Ii, you would have seen a second Empathic Transfer and a second Body Adjustment roll.

Here's how psionic healing works:

Use Empathic Transfer (in the first round) to transfer the wounds from the other person to yourself.  You can pick any amount of HP damage to transfer, up to 8 hp/psion level.

Body Adjustment (in the second round) to heal yourself of 3-18 HP worth of that.

What you saw was Ya'shenn manifesting Body Adjustment to heal the wounds she'd transferred from Du'minh in the previous round. She's still down 7 hp from that, actually.

Nice, game’s back! I’m

Nice, game’s back! Smiling

I’m quite shocked at the vault’s contents! Illithid House must have some crazy funding power, because I estimate well over 400k gp net worth!
As to personal preferences, unfortunately none of the items directly complements Du’minh’s prowess – my feats are invested in the heavy flail. However, the mace of smiting would be a tremendous circumstantial remedy and I cannot deny that a +3 icy burst greataxe more than makes up for the loss of feats. Potent arrows are also handy, when you can’t close with your enemy.

Congrats on beating Meathook, Az - for a moment there I thought we were having a search-and-rescue scenario coming up. I guess our group is halfway through rrakkma ourselves: Lavendar, Violet, and Meathook makes 3 of 6.

Regarding healing, I would second that Ya’shenn should conserve what little she has if there’s no imminent mortal danger. If the slaves try to rush us, we could simply grab what we can and teleport to safety. In any case, isn’t the plan that we proceed through the portal(s) to the Slaughterhouse after we’re done here?

It's ok.  Cool  I wonder what percentage of psionic PCs ever take the Empathic Transfer ability.
