Good question. Neither the urophion nor the roper entry say, only that the str drain is temporary. So I guess I'll make a DM ruling ... you get 1 str back every 2 hours. This means that by half-descending this evening, you'll get 5 points back. You don't need to rest to get 'em back though, so you'll continue to regain str. You'll have to make a bluff roll to keep the other PCs from seeing that Jhank'kor's a bit weak right now.

And yea, rest up and regain spells. The tiny evil DM on my shoulder says you might need 'em.

Oh, Jhank'kor has a plan if they want to go making light of his current straights... Eye-wink

Oh yeah, I have a feeling that the new insight into the warlock will soon be put to use. Smiling

The urophion has a SR that seems unbeatable for a level 8 warmage, but the only spell that Jhank’kor cast for which spell resistance doesn’t apply was one Orb of Fire. The dice rolled for damage for this spell were 8d8+7, but it seems it should have been 8d6 + Jhank’kor’s Int bonus (thanks to Warmage Edge). The spell doesn’t involve a Reflex save for half damage either, but a Fortitude save or be dazed for 1 round.

Please don’t shoot the messenger! Sticking out tongue

BANG

That was the DM shooting himself.

But also FYI fire does 2x damage on a failed save in the roper entry. I also figured that due to his Aberration bane magic, Spell resistance was only applied to the base form damage of the spell.

Unless specified otherwise, ability damage is recovered at a rate of 1 point for each night of rest (8 hours) for all abilities, or 2 points per day of complete bed rest. (PHB p146). However, a single casting of Lesser Restoration recovers 1d4 points for one ability score, so multiple castings by Rey could fix Jhank’kor up (or a single casting of Restoration).

Yep yep. That's a good question, but I'll leave it up to Azure. It would be Jhank'kor's bubble, not mine. Eye-wink Oh, thanks for the heads-up on Orb of Fire. Didn't have my spellbook nearby, so I could only remember the damage.

What a waste of awesome campaign talents... Shocked

Aye, and I figure ol' Jhank'kor would've found some way to light something else on fire, so he didn't have spell resistance to worry about. Eye-wink

By 3.0, yes. They changed it in 3.5 to “Weakness to Fire” (same property the urophion has), which means 50% more damage from fire-based attacks, rather than double damage.

Anyway, Azure could just rule that it was a homebrewed weaker version of urophion, I suppose Sticking out tongue

This much can be explained. He has the Extra Edge feat, which grants 1+1/4 your level bonus to your edge. Eye-wink

Either that or a barmy critter who always lowered its resistance. Laughing out loud

Anywho, this only reinforces the reasoning of Jhank'kor's insidious plot brewing inside his mind...did I post that publicly? Oops. 0:)

Honestly, I didn’t want to ruin your victory, Ben, it just struck me as peculiar at the mention of a CR 9 PC soloing a CR 13 monster, so I checked up.

The battle was entertaining to read, regardless. Smiling

No problem. Somebody has to be the rules lawyer to keep up crazy mages from doing absurd things. Eye-wink

If anything, you would've had three panels of Jhank'kor cursing--and still casting--up to his early demise. Laughing out loud

I'm not sure how I was to do this - should Rey enter Haven Port, and continue his actions as above), or is Azure going to describe the scene for us, and we respond. I wasn't sure, (and didn't want to interrupt the dialogue) that's why I posted it here.

Spot: 7
Search: 9

Hmm ... yea ... I'm going to ask everyone to go ahead and, um, just post the time you plan on getting to Haven Port, so I know who'll be there first, etc. So ... if you could just go ahead and do that, that'd be great.

Possibilities -
Peak (early)
Half Descending (about on time)

When more than one PC chooses the same time to arrive, I'll make a secret roll with the d20 on the shelf above my computer to see who got there first.

Then I'll describe the scene.

With all he just went through, expect Jhank'kor late upon Half-Descending...yes, I like that. Late. So, say, when everyone has sat down to their drinks, in the mangy chal slinks. Eye-wink

OOC: how much jink did Rey get?

I'm assuming you mean for the resonance stone? None as of yet, unless you want to ignore Grazz's advice and try to hock it IN Git'riban. Heading out of the neighborhood to a pawn shop somewhere else in Sigil would take too much time right now.

I should have clarified - I meant jink from Grazz (the small pouch he gave at 'hello'). Rey is going to hold on to the resonance stone for the time being.

Also, Rey arrives early, at Peak

Du’minh’s going to show up early, after he’s done bartering for new gear. He wants to keep a particular lookout for Telas-Niah, Grazz (yeah, like that’s going to happen), any of the party members, or just plain anyone he might have interest in talking with.

Peak would do.

I thought I’d just give a heads-up in advance, that I’ll be gone from the 17th until the 21st. Got a festival coming up; beer, music and parties ahoy! Smiling

Wow, I'm quite envious! However, we'll surely miss your imput into the dialogue--and I'll try to keep a certain chal from doing too many mean things to a sooth slayer. Eye-wink

Sorry guys, I'm going to be out of town for a day or so. Ar'dru'll do a little shopping and rest for a while before heading to the bar just before half-descending. I'll post Items bought later, it wont be anything major, some Gith scriptures and scrolls, maybe a potion or alchemical item or two.

Yeah, probably one reason for Jhank'kor being late would be a trip to a reputable jeweler/psionicist. He'll get things appraised, though I'm uncertain that he will sell said gems yet.

Rey hungers for red meat to renew his constitution. He wonders if he can spot an unsuspecting Cager who doesn't look too dirty. He's not completely aversed by humaniod flesh.

OK, things are slowed down a bit, and both Du'minh and Weishan will be gone 'til the 21st, so we're on holiday 'till then.

Unless I'm incorrect, the order of arival goes something like:

Du'minh (he lives right around the corner and he's the type to get there 3 hours early)

Ar'dru

Rey'arteb

Jhank'kor (had a solo trek for a couple hours and had to recover spells after)

I may work on a rough draft of the cantena scene, but consider it a wor in progress until Dun and Wei get back. Post here when you return, and I'll give the "GAME ON"

Yeah...it's been a huge blessing. The guy lives down the road from me. He introduced me to DnD and drew me into the realm of storytelling, which has helped me grow as a writer and a person in general.

I thought it was funny that I came across PW on accident, looking for some gaming sites, and thought to show it to him as a great resource for ideas. He sure dropped my jaw when he chuckled and said, "Bud, I created that one." Laughing out loud

But I'll end this personal testimonial...hope we haven't derailed this OOC thread too much, Azure. I've enjoyed this game a ton and hope to see where it goes next!

Tuning in patiently (though eagerly) until the green light for gaming comes on. Smiling

What's the flavor, Flavor?

For flavor's sake (not Flavor's), the 'cantina scene' in Haven Port will take a page from the clasic STAR WARS cantina scene, and have live music. There will be a group of bards playing in the main room.

Which, of course begs the question:

What does githyanki music sound like?

It was suggested, elsewhere in the Rrakkma project, that githyanki use a lot of percussion (which I agree is in character) and that therefore they played many millitary marches (which I think is screed). The githyanki are millitaristic, true, but they are not a 'marching' millitary. Githyanki don't attack in a phalynx, they don't use massed archery, and they don't drill by marching around in formation. They are warriors, not centurions.

So, I've been scouring the web for music, as I often do anyway, but this time to collect a few tunes that I could credibly call "Githish". My ctriteria were : (1) Unusual, experimental, ambient music (2) Not super-synthesized (3) Good beat but not traditional 4-4.

Githyanki use several varieties of drum sets, cymbols, percussion bells, sticks, and xylophones. To this are added horns and stringed instruments made of strange alloys from the astral isles, and often incorporating vibrating crystals. The sounds produced by some of these instruments would surprize many harpers of other races, and indeed many are designed such that only a being with psionic telekinesis can play them properly.

DM's Flavor : The following music is all available on MySpace, and constitutes my take on "Githyanki Music". In those very few cases where there are lyrics, there need only be minor changes to the lyrics themselves.

Dirty Elegance - melophobia & rememorari

THE ORB (UK, "myspace.com/orbisms" there are a few 'Orbs') - Shem

A Perfect Circle - Counting Bodies Like Sheep & Annihlation {Heavyer, Pre-battle songs, modify lyrics slightly}

Fringe (myspace.com/fringe1) - machine gun doris

Arcana - The Nemesis [love this one]

Will definitely check out your gith music suggestions later on, but your assertion sounds good to me. I would particularly emphasize horns – a horn is such a traditional instrument that can easily be carried into battle and swiftly blown to deliver distinct clear signals across the battlefield, and which I think is easy to imagine being applied to the githyanki. Consider the ideal githyanki horn to be one which only sounds “just right”, when Astral winds flow through it (possibly being actively psionically manipulated by the musician).

Du’minh is ready to step into the scene of the inn on your mark, having conducted what business we discussed in PMs.

Yep yep.

Lovin' it!

D. got the best sense motive roll, but the fact that y'all rolled shows you're thinking. So, Du'minh is half a step ahead of the rest at the moment, but none of the PCs are dumb.

Yes, O.O. is so very sly. In fact a mage who isn't sly won't live out the day on Athas. Does she know the PCs are Sight's killers, or is she fishing? She at very least suspects, as the ulitharid's body was left at the ruin, and the Black Spears got a good look at Jhank'kor at the very least. Ar'dru himself has heard the rumor on the streets that it was a duthka'gith that did in the uber-illithid, and lo and behold that chal from the lot ended up meeting with one. Hey, what's in that sack?

How informed she REALLY is about the illithid in general and Illithid House in Sigil, I will leave to speculation.

Also notice when the conversation started to turn toward "What and how much DO you know Ms. Orb?" she changed the subject.

And yes, she is trying to loosen you up with some alcohol.

And yes, she is sounding wise and sagely.

And yes, she is handing out praises for the "Yanki Clan".

And yes, she is sexy in a slightly scarred, somewhat disturbing way.

Sweet! My character is sooo much fun to play!!! Thanks, Azure, for suggesting the switch from Mind Blade to mage, cause this guy has just enough ookiness to his efficiencies to make him viable and interesting. Smiling

And I can see how that'd be true for mages on Athas--or anywhere you have brawn favored over most other things. I figure Jhank'kor's knowledge(history) would include any Gith races he encountered, especially as they pertained to his conquests for the Queen and his stay in Git'Riban.

So, here's a Knowledge(His) on O.O's clan (ironic that her initials form the emoticon for stunned. Laughing out loud): 16 --thank you PW for the amazing nat one...I hope his ranks of researching pull something more out than "You know they are Giths" Laughing out loud

Oh btw, do you want some contacts for the chal?? I think this matter got overlooked (by myself mainly) and I wouldn't mind creating some interesting minor characters for you to integrate as you want/need. Eye-wink

15 Bonus for to do
I rolled 1d20+15, the result is 16.

Neh, fagedabaadit! Roll for on the spot checks, something like knowing your neighbors you take 20 over several months. Unfortunately there isn't much more to tell, except the gith clans on Athas are big and spread out and number in the thousands. So it is likely (but not certain) that those claiming to be "Chief of the Bone Clan" (or whatever) are actually not THE chief as much as A chief.

As for the contacts, didn't I give you the Key Shop Owner and his Apprentice? Not that I wouldn't welcome interesting ideas for more NPCs.

One thing is for certain - we sure are going through loads of metaphors for "things are more than what they seem". Laughing out loud

Hope you guys don't mind me ushering us a bit onwards. O.O. is intriguing to speak with, but she is obviously trying to pump us for info, while giving little in return (nice Yoda-attempts at dodging questions, I'll give her that).

Also, I think Trias feels very much left out (weishan is out walking the jungle, so I'm sure Daraz is fine with fading into the background).

Hahaha. true dat.

No problem, though I was personally looking forward to more conversation with O.O. However, for the party's sake (since she wasn't going to spill anything worthwhile to us), I'm glad for the action--it gives the chal another excuse to "lock horns" with the Rish. Laughing out loud

Don’t worry, I think we’ve had ample foreshadowing that we’ll run into her again sometime in the future.

Not to get into crazy conspiracy mode, but there is some thematic parallel between O.O. and Sight, isn’t there? Laughing out loud
Betcha 10 gold that eye of hers is a Gem of True Seeing.

Just in case Gy-Nath's reaction wasn't hint enough, Dun, Ben, I'm officially asking you to tone it down. I know neither character is content without having the last word, but death duels between characters might put a crimp in the storyline. The IC bickering was OK up to a point, but the very first statement by Gy-Nath, an admonishment by a superior officer, was designed to put an end to it, and by continuing to retort to each other you made his respect for you plummet.

Were we go from here is up to you.

Ah, understood; warning taken, Azure. :oops:

I'm going to talk with Polp to make myself feel nicer now... Laughing out loud
