[Game Thread] Eel's End

[The Rat Queen]

Elentiri Elentiri frowned with concern over Rahela's outburst. She knew the girl was given to eccentricities, but she sensed real issue at the heart of the theatrics. She held up a hand to pause Elmendarr's explanations a moment. "Trouble? What sort of trouble, Rahela?" she asked. Elen had not yet been able to do much research about pseudodragons, so she wasn't sure if Rahela meant that pseudodragons in general were trouble, or just this particular one.

Low-light vision is color vision. A spellcaster with low-light vision can read a scroll as long as even the tiniest candle flame is next to him as a source of light. Characters with low-light vision can see outdoors on a moonlit night as well as they can during the day.Low-Light Vision Elves are immune to magic sleep effects and gain a +2 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells and effects.Elven Immunities Elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Perception checks.Keen Senses Elves receive a +2 racial bonus on caster level checks made to overcome spell resistance. In addition, elves receive a +2 racial bonus on Spellcraft skill checks made to identify the properties of magic items.Elven Magic Elves are proficient with longbows (including composite longbows), longswords, rapiers, and shortbows (including composite shortbows), and treat any weapon with the word “elven” in its name as a martial weapon.Weapon Familiarity Class Features: At 1st level, wizards form a powerful bond with an object or a creature. This bond can take one of two forms: a familiar or a bonded object. A familiar is a magical pet that enhances the wizard’s skills and senses and can aid him in magic, while a bonded object is an item a wizard can use to cast additional spells or to serve as a magical item. Once a wizard makes this choice, it is permanent and cannot be changed. Wizards who select a bonded object begin play with one at no cost. Objects that are the subject of an arcane bond must fall into one of the following categories: amulet, ring, staff, wand, or weapon. These objects are always masterwork quality. Weapons acquired at 1st level are not made of any special material. If the object is an amulet or ring, it must be worn to have effect, while staves, wands, and weapons must be held in one hand. If a wizard attempts to cast a spell without his bonded object worn or in hand, he must make a concentration check or lose the spell. The DC for this check is equal to 20 + the spell’s level. If the object is a ring or amulet, it occupies the ring or neck slot accordingly. A bonded object can be used once per day to cast any one spell that the wizard has in his spellbook and is capable of casting, even if the spell is not prepared. This spell is treated like any other spell cast by the wizard, including casting time, duration, and other effects dependent on the wizard’s level. This spell cannot be modified by metamagic feats or other abilities. The bonded object cannot be used to cast spells from the wizard’s opposition schools (see arcane school below). A wizard can add additional magic abilities to his bonded object as if he has the required Item Creation Feats and if he meets the level prerequisites of the feat. For example, a wizard with a bonded dagger must be at least 5th level to add magic abilities to the dagger (see Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat). If the bonded object is a wand, it loses its wand abilities when its last charge is consumed, but it is not destroyed and it retains all of its bonded object properties and can be used to craft a new wand. The magic properties of a bonded object, including any magic abilities added to the object, only function for the wizard who owns it. If a bonded object’s owner dies, or the item is replaced, the object reverts to being an ordinary masterwork item of the appropriate type. If a bonded object is damaged, it is restored to full hit points the next time the wizard prepares his spells. If the object of an arcane bond is lost or destroyed, it can be replaced after 1 week in a special ritual that costs 200 gp per wizard level plus the cost of the masterwork item. This ritual takes 8 hours to complete. Items replaced in this way do not possess any of the additional enchantments of the previous bonded item. A wizard can designate an existing magic item as his bonded item. This functions in the same way as replacing a lost or destroyed item except that the new magic item retains its abilities while gaining the benefits and drawbacks of becoming a bonded item.Arcane Bond A wizard can choose to specialize in one school of magic, gaining additional spells and powers based on that school. This choice must be made at 1st level, and once made, it cannot be changed. A wizard that does not select a school receives the universalist school instead. A wizard that chooses to specialize in one school of magic must select two other schools as his opposition schools, representing knowledge sacrificed in one area of arcane lore to gain mastery in another. A wizard who prepares spells from his opposition schools must use two spell slots of that level to prepare the spell. For example, a wizard with evocation as an opposition school must expend two of his available 3rd-level spell slots to prepare a fireball. In addition, a specialist takes a –4 penalty on any skill checks made when crafting a magic item that has a spell from one of his opposition schools as a prerequisite. A universalist wizard can prepare spells from any school without restriction. Each arcane school gives the wizard a number of school powers. In addition, specialist wizards receive an additional spell slot of each spell level he can cast, from 1st on up. Each day, a wizard can prepare a spell from his specialty school in that slot. This spell must be in the wizard’s spellbook. A wizard can select a spell modified by a metamagic feat to prepare in his school slot, but it uses up a higher-level spell slot. Wizards with the universalist school do not receive a school slot.Arcane School - Evocation Whenever you cast an evocation spell that deals hit point damage, add 1/2 your wizard level to the damage (minimum +1). This bonus only applies once to a spell, not once per missile or ray, and cannot be split between multiple missiles or rays. This bonus damage is not increased by Empower Spell or similar effects. This damage is of the same type as the spell. At 20th level, whenever you cast an evocation spell you can roll twice to penetrate a creature’s spell resistance and take the better result. Intense Spells (Su) As a standard action you can unleash a force missile that automatically strikes a foe, as magic missile. The force missile deals 1d4 points of damage plus the damage from your intense spells evocation power. This is a force effect. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.Force Missile (Sp) Wizards can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table: Wizard under “Spells per Day.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. A wizard can prepare a cantrip from an opposition school, but it uses up two of his available slot.Cantrips You can create a scroll of any spell that you know. Scribing a scroll takes 2 hours if its base price is 250 gp or less, otherwise scribing a scroll takes 1 day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. To scribe a scroll, you must use up raw materials costing half of this base price.Scribe Scroll Feats: You may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity per round equal to your Dexterity bonus. With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.Combat Reflexes With a light weapon, elven curve blade, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.Weapon Finesse You get a +4 bonus on concentration checks made to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability when casting on the defensive or while grappled.Combat Casting Choose one type of weapon. You can also choose unarmed strike or grapple (or ray, if you are a spellcaster) as your weapon for the purposes of this feat.Weapon Focus

Dhurhum the Outcast The Dwarf who was now made partially out of stone nods to the boy; "Aye lad, get some food fer yer family without scrounging, then see if'n ye can't get some work as a worker, they always need people ta be moving this er that, an pay an honest wage so ye can provide. If ye can't find any work there, drop by me smithy in the Dwarven quarter and I'll put ye to work. Twill be hard work, but ye'll earn yer pay, ask fer Dhurhum." As they leave the boy to his devices, Dhurhum pats scorch on the back as they walk off; "Yer not too bad for an orc, still smell like one an look like ye been pummeled by a giant more'in a few times, but methinks ye may be a good soul after all. That other orc we met though, he is more orc, more feral. I be keepin' a close eye on im. I dunna trust im."

At Aram's Crown Rahela answers back snappishly. Like get you killed type of trouble... She sighs and leans forward and in a low voice begins. Listen. Devargo is a criminal. You know it, I know it, and the Field Marshal told us so. He's also in charge of goons, which makes him not just a criminal, but a crime boss. Like the type that make your body disappear. And you saw all those spiders around him? I may be creepy, but that guy's wacko creepo... The woman's body seems to shiver at a thought. Worse of it all... I didn't see a or sense a single items that could possibly be controlling those things. In other words, he shouldn't be able to do that... that's weird...

Time Passes by... It has been weeks since Eodred II's death, and things are finally starting to get back to normal in Korvosa. Yet still the streets thrum with unrest and wild rumors. Scorch and Dhurhum patrol the streets as is their duty. Crime seems to be on the rise, with pickpocketing, robberies and assaults skyrocketing. The other more social odd members notice that some still hiss "usurper" and "murdering harlot" at the mere utterance of Ileosa's name, and more shockingly, rumors that the king's death was not of natural causes are increasing. Some of these even pin the queen as the primary suspect of the good king's death. It is not long though that there is announcement. As it has been suspected, King Eodred II was indeed murdered. An investigation led to a confession by a Royal Guard, on his involvement in aiding a woman named Trinia Sabor. A painter who'd been commissioned to paint the king's portrait not half a month before his death. Amongst Sabina Merrin and other Guards officers he states his involvement in the young woman's plot and swears he saw her slipping a specially prepared poison powder into Eodred's tea the night he took ill and her portrait of him was completed. Words of this confession has spread rapidly, and it triggers a city-wide hunt for the young artist. To make matters worse the guard who'd confessed committed suicide cementing Korvosa's anger. In no time Trinia's name becomes a household word, and once again riots threaten to erupt in the streets. This time, however, the cries are not for the queen's death, but the death of the king's "true" murderer - Trinia Sabor. The Field Marshal has basically been keeping Scorch and Dhurhum together. Whether it is for the two different heritages to work out their differences, or because they got things done, she preferred the pairing. One morning half-way before you reach the Citadel for morning duty, another private sweaty and breathless runs towards the paladins. Sas, sas! I bring...message. The private seems to struggle to catching his breath. The Field Marshal has orders. She says wake the others and meet her at The Three Rings Tavern. She's on her way there! With that the private waits anxiously for a moment. When inquired on what business the Field Marshal would have to bring her outside the Citadel, he just gives a hasty head shake and a shrug. I don'know, I don'know. Seemed urgent, sas! You have your orders, go now! With that he too turns and runs back the way he came. Those not staying at The Three Rings Tavern also get a similar message from a very out of breath guardsman.

Elentiri Elentiri had ultimately chosen to trust Rahela's advice about assaulting the Crimelord's lair. Her friend was odd, to be sure, but she hadn't survived her upbringing without possessing trustworthy instincts. If Rahela were vehemently against a rescue attempt of the pseudodragon, that was good enough for Elen, and she'd politely declined Elmendarr's proposal, paying for his drinks by way of compensation. Later, as she pored over large, ancient tomes of magic back at her dormitory room at the Acadamae, she was sent a message delivered by an exhausted city guardsman. Frowning, she closed the book, dressed and armed herself, and quickly headed toward the gate to make her way to The Three Rings Tavern. She didn't normally spend much time in the North Point ward, and had to ask directions once or twice to find Jeggare Circle at the end of Northgate Avenue. Entering the quaint-looking building, she paused to allow her eyes to adjust to the interior light, and looked around for the Field Marshal.

Elmendarr "Ladies, please." Elmenderr responds sounding rather hurt, "Have at least the courtesy to hear my plan."

[Khalil]

Still at Aram's Crown Rahela was also standing up as Elentiri stood up when Elmendarr made his request. She slid her eyes towards her elven counterpart, before she reluctantly sat back down. Alright. What do you have?

[The Rat Queen]

Elentiri Elentiri exchanged glances with Rahela, then shrugged and returned to her seat. Propping herself up on her elbows, she leaned in to listen carefully, giving a nod of assent.

If the object of an arcane bond is lost or destroyed, it can be replaced after 1 week in a special ritual that costs 200 gp per wizard level plus the cost of the masterwork item. This ritual takes 8 hours to complete. Items replaced in this way do not possess any of the additional enchantments of the previous bonded item. A wizard can designate an existing magic item as his bonded item. This functions in the same way as replacing a lost or destroyed item except that the new magic item retains its abilities while gaining the benefits and drawbacks of becoming a bonded item.Arcane Bond A wizard can choose to specialize in one school of magic, gaining additional spells and powers based on that school. This choice must be made at 1st level, and once made, it cannot be changed. A wizard that does not select a school receives the universalist school instead. A wizard that chooses to specialize in one school of magic must select two other schools as his opposition schools, representing knowledge sacrificed in one area of arcane lore to gain mastery in another. A wizard who prepares spells from his opposition schools must use two spell slots of that level to prepare the spell. For example, a wizard with evocation as an opposition school must expend two of his available 3rd-level spell slots to prepare a fireball. In addition, a specialist takes a –4 penalty on any skill checks made when crafting a magic item that has a spell from one of his opposition schools as a prerequisite. A universalist wizard can prepare spells from any school without restriction. Each arcane school gives the wizard a number of school powers. In addition, specialist wizards receive an additional spell slot of each spell level he can cast, from 1st on up. Each day, a wizard can prepare a spell from his specialty school in that slot. This spell must be in the wizard’s spellbook. A wizard can select a spell modified by a metamagic feat to prepare in his school slot, but it uses up a higher-level spell slot. Wizards with the universalist school do not receive a school slot.Arcane School - Evocation Whenever you cast an evocation spell that deals hit point damage, add 1/2 your wizard level to the damage (minimum +1). This bonus only applies once to a spell, not once per missile or ray, and cannot be split between multiple missiles or rays. This bonus damage is not increased by Empower Spell or similar effects. This damage is of the same type as the spell. At 20th level, whenever you cast an evocation spell you can roll twice to penetrate a creature’s spell resistance and take the better result. Intense Spells (Su) As a standard action you can unleash a force missile that automatically strikes a foe, as magic missile. The force missile deals 1d4 points of damage plus the damage from your intense spells evocation power. This is a force effect. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Intelligence modifier.Force Missile (Sp) Wizards can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table: Wizard under “Spells per Day.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. A wizard can prepare a cantrip from an opposition school, but it uses up two of his available slot.Cantrips You can create a scroll of any spell that you know. Scribing a scroll takes 2 hours if its base price is 250 gp or less, otherwise scribing a scroll takes 1 day for each 1,000 gp in its base price. To scribe a scroll, you must use up raw materials costing half of this base price.Scribe Scroll Feats: You may make a number of additional attacks of opportunity per round equal to your Dexterity bonus. With this feat, you may also make attacks of opportunity while flat-footed.Combat Reflexes With a light weapon, elven curve blade, rapier, whip, or spiked chain made for a creature of your size category, you may use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier on attack rolls. If you carry a shield, its armor check penalty applies to your attack rolls.Weapon Finesse You get a +4 bonus on concentration checks made to cast a spell or use a spell-like ability when casting on the defensive or while grappled.Combat Casting Choose one type of weapon. You can also choose unarmed strike or grapple (or ray, if you are a spellcaster) as your weapon for the purposes of this feat.Weapon Focus

Elmendarr "Thankyou." Elmenderr says with a sigh of relief. He pulls out a sheet of parchment with a crude map "As we noticed while we were there the 'target' is here near the side of the ship." he points at an x on the map My plan involves us coming in on the water under the cover of morning darkness from here. There are ways to muffle the sounds of a rowboat and likely magic that could do that more effectively. Now, in the land of my fathers, I have seen magic that lets one reshape wood. If we could get hold of something like that, it would be a simple matter to create a ladder and opening in the side of the ship. Then the sneakiest of us could just climb up, open the 'targets' cage and leave the way we came, job done. That's it. He leans back. Now you can call me crazy and go on your way.
