Sorry. I was unable to access the Servant yesterday; no matter what link I hit I got an error. Today it's obviously working.
On November 2nd I will be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Are we on fire or did we take damage and that's it?

Bo, Ingrid, Jerome and Urdur are on fire, and so are the two beds near them.
My last post included one round of damage for being on fire.

That is a weirdly specific piece of advice to pass on. All I can say is- Gnomes, man. :lol:

Sorry, OM. That's 4 days. I'll NPC Bo and have him beat out the flames from his clothes like Jerome and Urdur did. :smile:

Anybody got any ideas? Near as I can tell, we are all the way up the creek. This doesn't look like a fight we can win, and even if we could we'd burn to death in the process.

So....should we join the wolves?? Or ar least pretend to long enough to get out of the burning building??

I have no idea.

I had an idea, but it just got disrupted :).

I tend to agree that our only way out now is to go along with the wolves... live to fight another day and all that.

What needs to happen is one of you near the demon possessed girl needs to knock her ass out, threaten to kill her if the wolves don't let us pass.

Filed under Forgotten Magic Items, is something of Urdur's that is almost as good as invisibility. :mrgreen:

Other friendly DM hints:
Please don't forget the house rule that in dire situations (of which this qualifies) Clerics that are out of first level spells may use second level spell slots to fuel up to 2 CLWs. And likewise Druids, but vice versa.
I know this isn't immediately actionable, but might be at some point. Just wanted to mention it in case it was forgotten. :mrgreen:

Hey everyone,

Unfortunately, Chubby Pixie is taking a temporary break from Unseen Servant due to RL. He hopes to return so I won't slot in a replacement player for his PC. My game workload prevents me from managing an NPC long term, so I may move his PC offstage when opportunity permits.

Speaking of a TPK, anybody have any ideas on how to avoid one here? We can't fight these wolves and win. Urdur is out of tricks and down to one hit point, so all he can really do is run away. Is there even a safe place to run to??

The girl is obviously the problem. I was trying to have Bo act based on what the characters knew and not on player assumption. (for a change) :lol:

I guess we could always join the darkside and see what happens? :?

I dont really see how we get out of this in tact, to be honest. (that's why Bo decided to run away)

I have an idea- but it's built on waaaay too many 'ifs' and 'hopes'. IF Jerome can break free of Amity's influence and IF he can get a solid strike on her....

Sorry, guys. I put in 60+ hours last week/ weekend, including the middle of the night a couple of times, and was pretty wiped out. I didn't have the energy or interest to come here and think. [Shut up, Rob! I do actually (sometimes) put thought into my posts! It may not seem like it...]
