Between The Spaces We Know (ooc and questions Vlll)

[Scott308]

I have a plan for the bodies. I'll post later when I'm not at work.

Hey Scott,

Great post.
I covered about half of your listed actions in my DM post. Bo hasn't returned yet, and the others haven't decided to hole up in the bunkroom yet. So I couldn't move that part forward, fyi.

[OGRE MAGE]

Nice! More fodder!

Lets block the door and leave the zombies in here to hold off the wolves for as long as they can.

I am thinking that we should block the door between the torture chamber and the stairway into the hallway too, before locking ourselves in the barracks room.

If we open all the doors, (except for the one leading into the barracks) and move around enough before hiding, it might confuse their sense of smell enough that they will search everywhere else before discovering where we really are.

I am still trying to figure out a good way to use the illusions, maybe to make it look like we went in a different direction, but I am not well versed in illusionary magic and how it works. Not sure if an illusion like that would need to be concentrated on to work.

Inferno...does this new area appear to be occupied in any way? Any noises, smells, tracks etc.?

Nope. No signs of life.

[Scott308]

That was pretty much my thought, Rob. I don't know how much the zombies will slow down the werewolves, but any time will help. I just hope the time it took her to animate them was worth it.

Hey everyone,

That's three and a half days.

Also:

When looking closer at the doors and the beds, I realized I had the scale wrong on this map. No major deal, but wanted to mention it in case you noticed the correction.

Of the PCs that posted, Ingrid and Urdur are ready to begin the exorcism now. Bo offered suggestions of activities to occur before the ritual begins, that require others to enact or reject. Wanted to allow some room for those decisions to play out before I moved to the exorcism. But whenever you're ready to begin, so am I.

Jerome
I suggest that everyone else man the barricades and make ready. We have a long, hard battle ahead. If your gods will listen, pray to them for strength.

Jerome takes a position near the eastern end of the barricade, getting the best view he can manage down the tunnel toward the cave mouth. He lays his quiver beside him and readies his longbow.

Hey everyone,
I believed, perhaps wrongly, that the first barricade was built upon a closed door. Also, that everyone would hide in the bunkroom.

Because I completely misread at least one player's intentions, please make clear your position this post so I don't screw anything up.

Also, open or closed door for the first barricade? Thanks!

[OGRE MAGE]

I assumed we would pile stuff in front of a closed door. I also assumed that we would all stay together, in the bunk room.

But if players have other ideas, I am not going to interfere with that.

[Urson]

Probably my screw up here. I'll post a new action .

[Inferno]

Sorry, Scott. That's three and a half days. I'll NPC Ingrid and move it along.

[ChubbyPixie]

Seems like we can't be in a room for ten minutes lately without it catching on fire. We are going to get horrible guest reviews at this Fantasy AirBnB.

[OGRE MAGE]

Must be the company we have been keeping lately.

[Inferno]

Hey everyone,

After reading today's DM post, please read this:

If you don't normally do so, please check out the "Behind the DM Screen" section. In this game, it's been rare for the dice to roll in your favor, especially to this extent. Congrats, all.

[ChubbyPixie]

Usually we save all our bad rolls for the big fight at the end...

[Inferno]

...and all the little fights in between.

[ChubbyPixie]

...so true.

At the very beginning... six years ago?... Telkis was rolling hot in every battle. Seems like a hundred years ago. I had forgotten what it felt like...

[Inferno]

The dice taketh away and the dice giveth.

[Inferno]

Urdur maintains his concentration on his illusion, delighted that it is vexing their enemies so. If he can do so while maintaining his illusion, he gives one of the wolfsbane elixirs to Mouser.

Hi Socratic,
As you know, Improved Phantasmal Force allows the caster to move while maintaining his illusion. I'll rule he can do this in place of movement this round.

[Inferno]

Telkis
Are there portions of this lair we haven't yet explored?

Yes, there are three shut doors on the eastern end of the map, opening onto 5n, 7p and 12n:

Map Detail:

One square = 5 feet.

[Inferno]

Sorry, Scott and Socratic. That's four days. Moving the action forward.
