The holy symbol of Triskelion:

Actually the holy symbol of Trithereon is a triskelion (a symbol based on three bending legs)

But only specialty priests of Triskelion get a weapon proficiency in giant can opener.

Nice get out of jail free card, OM! Please deduct all potions from your inventory list. Thanks. :)

Is Urdur's cloak still covered in oil (from this post: viewtopic.php?f=265&t=5994&start=280)?
I'll rule the oil on his cloak has evaporated by now.
And, from the DMG p. 64:
Range: The range of all such container missiles is 3”. Beyond 1” is medium, and beyond 2” is long (-2 and -5 “to hit” respectively).
If you throw the oil, please:
  • -Include in your die roll macro whether it's lit or not when thrown.
    -Let me know if you still throw the oil if the unspeakable thing closes with you before you can act, and this becomes a melee. (You too Telkis, if you fire arrows). Thanks!

All potions have been reluctantly removed from Bo's sheet. I sure hope that means it will actually work. :D

This is ridiculous, and also the best thing that's ever happened. I love this so much.

I think now it has become obvious, going out the window was the better move.

What's the old saying, someone told me I was delusional... it almost made me fall off my pegasus! ;)

As one of my last statements in this game (due to probable death) I'll admit you were right. Telkis immediately regrets his decision. :) I'll console myself by believing we couldn't all ride the Majestic Pegasus.

Hey an effing Bogasus (:lol:) saved us, so you never know - there's gotta be a way to get out of there alive. Or at least mostly alive. ;)

But yeah, our escape plan relied on a small group. Heck if Hoom was still with us, I'm not sure it could've been pulled off. Good luck fellows!
