As the topic says, this will be the Organization thread for Call of the Banshee Queen

Kiaransalyn has got the first PM and we can now more or less assemble the group. I will - over the next few days - give a rundown on rules I use with the game, though most will be know to you already.

If you have questions or queries, just let me know.

Everyone is at ECL 11 now, so double-check on your chara sheets, add the newly claimed or bought items and off to the DM with it!  :D

Sschindylryn as the city of portals has probably more (foreign) stuff than any other drow city, hence it is a good trading place.

As for meeting one another, it could (by chance) be the case that the twosome happen to stay at that "inn" Paval has just entered. Of course, now he does not exactly look like the Paval they know.

I'll get Farviaan chap into the mix too and the scout will also appear soon.

Good good ... I'll be on nightshift till Tuesday too, but that won't stop me from egtting you all going by Sunday.

If possible, let your folk appear in that tavern "Paval the Black" hangs about - though he may need to identify you and vice versa, perhaps some loot items or the like.

Now I'll hunt after Farviaan's chap and bring him here as well.

Paval's not in a tavern. He's in the same guest house as Sheiriya and Zhadristan. I'm working on the principle that a 'divine nudge' sent him there.

Should be clear but just as a reminder about the way I write Sheiriya's talking.
Drow sign language
"Telepathy"
"Normal talking in whatever language"

I have been a little inattentive in this regard lately, probably because there wasn't any sign language around. I promise to do better from now on!

I'd like to get Paval away from the city as soon as possible. So he is heading to a suitable portal.

Just in case ... Kiaransalyn got some details and I was/am waiting for some response from Paval, i.e. addressing Mistress Hae'ikae.
Titel: Call of the Banshee Queen - Orga Thread
Beitrag von: Zanan am 17.10.2008, 23:03:24
Keeping all up to scratch - infowise:

Paval's become a man on a mission, even though he is in priestess - look right now.

Sheiriya and Zhadristan want to exit the city as - for some unknown reason - Lolthite priestesses apparently look for them. They have so far no clue what Paval is up to.

The "madman" first appeared in the guesthose of Sheiriya & Zhadristan and followed the foursome to this place, Mistress Hae'ikae's 'shop'. What he is on is everyone's guess ... perhaps his own too.

Tathlyn is the scout Paval has hired before meeting up with Zhadristan & Sheiriya, by first offering them to bail them out of the trap Sschindylryn has become.

As in: Paval has a few things to clear up with the others. Whether it is a good idea to talk while mistress Hae'ikae is present is up to him, Tathlyn has ensured that she is a trusted ally of the Dark Path..

While we are waiting, do keep up talking or "acting", so I know everyone is about.

Are we still in the cavern that contains the portal?
Titel: Call of the Banshee Queen - Orga Thread
Beitrag von: Zanan am 30.10.2008, 09:55:01
No ... we've moved off  :wink:

Tathlyn gets an arrow and a shortbow out of a quiver, pointing towards a small path leading away from the portal. "Let's try this route," he signals.
The scouts stops after some 20 paces, waiting for Paval to do his spellcasting. He sends his bat flying about the cave and after Paval joins up with the group, leads you onward towards a tunnel which peels itself out of the darkness 200 paces on. About a quarter of an hour later, you reach a high-domed circular cavern, some 60 feet wide. The scout signals that the way leads downards through a crack at the far wall, but he will wait till people had a chance to talk to one another. Seemingly disinterested in this, he walks over and has a look at said crack at the floor.

I guess that Paval will have told them about the destination by "now" (I'm asking myself if there is a right tense for that special case.) so that Sheiriya is not surprised by the mentioning of the surface. Otherwise she would have reacted different.

@ Kia ... I do that about 9,5 times out of ten, but never had to do that "at the Gate". But I am over it now  :roll:

@ Phaerven ... let's say, he speaks about "his" goddess. I would - for the time being -  assume that Zhadristan assumes that he speaks about Lolth. Whether that is true or not is for Paval to tell - in-game.
Titel: Call of the Banshee Queen - Orga Thread

I don't think that makes much sense, especially because it is a sensitive topic for Zhadristan. He is a little touchy when it comes to that!

What makes no sense? Methinks, "in game" Paval never mentioned his deity (to Zhadristan) so it could be quite clear that he refers to Lolth. Then again, in case Zhad noted it, he was able to cast spells when Lolthite priestesses could not AND he is actually a male. And I would bet that Zhad knows that there are (virtually) no male clerics of Lolth. So to answer your question ...

He speaks about "his goddess", the name of which was never mentioned before to Zhadristan. He'd have to ask Paval directly about her name and, as you can see, Sheiriya took the liberty to do that for him. Cheeky little ... that she is! Once Paval replies, you'll know the goddess' name. And yes, OOC you guess right that it ain't Lolth.

Besides your reasoning I just thought that I wouldn't ask Zhadristan to help those who just wanted him arrested and would have presumably done bad things to him.
I asked just to make sure that I didn't miss something and thus post nonsense!

Note to the "Conversionists" ... the priestesses in Sschindylryn were actively searching for those adventurers who accompanied Kylara et al. Why they did is up to imagination though.
Titel: Call of the Banshee Queen - Orga Thread
Beitrag von: Phaerven am 16.11.2008, 16:08:34
Sure, I may have expressed myself misleadingly, but I meant to say that they were presumably only searching for Zhadristan because they wanted to question him about Paval. That was also Paval's suspicion and from Zhadristan's point of view it makes sense to assume so. After all Zhadristan is not the one who is pursuing the agenda of an enemy goddess (yet :D).

OK, thanks for the clarification.
Titel: Interruptions
Beitrag von: Paval Thune am 25.03.2009, 21:50:15
Zanan - judging by the number of interruptions Paval's discussion with She of the Nine Secrets is getting either the other players are itching for something to do or they don't fully realise what She of the Nine Secrets can do to their characters. Paval's approach is that she is very powerful and he will be as polite and respectful as possible. He is also acting like this so that he can fulfil the first part of his mission.

Phaerven - Paval is not ordering your character around. Neither is he ordering anyone around. Read the game transcript, you'll see that the PC's have been forced together by circumstance and that Paval has a mission, which the others have chosen to share with him for the moment.

Fabius Maximus & Phaerven - If you want your characters to be killed by She of the Nne Secrets, carry on having them behave like idiots. If you're bored and wanting your characters to do something (which is entirely understandable) then speak up in this thread, and ask Zanan what your PC's can do. For example, while Paval is speaking, what are your PCs observing?

All - As to why Paval does not say whom he worships and what his mission is, the simple answer is: "drow". He is a drow and does not trust anyone else. Why should he? Why should he trust your PCs? Why should your PCs trust him? Until Kiaransalee tells him he can trust them, Paval will not tell you what his mission is because as a drow he believes you will betray him. This is also why he has an aloof attitude. It is worth bearing in mind that Paval's attitude is not my own.

Hopefully, that's either cleared a few things up or started a debate, which will help things run a bit better in the long run.

Don't worry. I fully know that she is dangerous. I realized that from the get-go, and Jhaelvirr's interruption was the calculated risk that Zanan wouldn't let my character die early on, but I was careful nonetheless. (Not that I'd mind if he does. I'm usually not that attached.)

It's just something Jhaelvirr would do. You probably have noticed by now that most of his actions are brainfarts, and half the time not his own. He's got no impulse control to speak of, so he's a bit unpredictable.

I enjoy how you play your PCs.  :grin: I figured out fairly early on that Jhaelvirr was a Binder, and that was down to your role-playing.

He's a loose canon. Paval probably doesn't know what to make of him but as a drow he probably finds Jhaelvirr's chaos appealing (but not in the "Does Jhaelvirr look good in leather chaps?' sense.)

I guess Paval right now is thinking 'Guys don't let me down' but as a drow he wouldn't tell you that.

How can we get a situation where Paval can just open up and tell you what he knows? Hmm, Edit:After all, until Paval tells you what he is up to then it is going to frustrating for your PC's. Maybe after this audience with She of the 9, he'll ask Kiaransalee for her guidance.

I enjoy how you play your PCs.  :grin: I figured out fairly early on that Jhaelvirr was a Binder, and that was down to your role-playing.

Thanks.  :)  Although he's not a Binder in the common sense. I'm blessed with the presence of a book called "Secrets of Pact Magic", which offers several alternative classes.

The setting is a bit ropey, it seems very clear to me that it's written by Americans without a clear idea of how things really work. That isn't to say that Americans are doomed to writing bad setting. Ptolus is an excellent setting. But most base their settings on other settings and therefore are too derivative.

Methinks I wrote something, but let's say about half an hour after you left the Underdark the sound can be heard. Pending how quickly those other are, you have about 20 mins till they will appear. (If they are actually heading your way, of course.)

The troll now faces up to Zhadristan and Tathlyn (who stands behind it). Jhaevirr has been targetted by the troll's javelin and closes in too, trying to flank (?). Both Zhadristan and Jhaevirr held their actions (as far as I am aware) until the troll was there, so they can still act in this round, while Sheiriya enjoys the show.

To the west a score of riders move away from the scene of battle, not showing any sort of haste. Below you, the troll reappears and makes its way to the nearest wagon.  A sudden high wail reaches your ears and tells you that not all these people are as dead as first thought. In fact, a couple or so move slowly about, trying to get away from the monster.

For me that sounds like that there should be one or two still alive even if Paval's flame strike burned the person directly in front of the troll.

Is this something to do with 4th edition? And does this mean that Darkness in $ Edn isn't dark, just like D&D isn't D&D anymore?

Well, it was real "darkness" (like in a cavern below ground with no illumination whatsoever) in AD&D and 3E, but (for some reason) 3.5E changed this to "shadowy illumination". In essence, visibility was simply reduced by 20%, so you could actually still see 80%. The only folk annoyed by that are rogues, who were denied their sneak attack, since people got "cover" from this 3.5E "darkness". The old dark darkness was re-introduced with blacklight (a special domain spell), but I had none of this garbage anyways. My darkness is the darkness of old, the famous "black blobs" e.g. Drizzt throws about.

Pathfinder changed that tune once more, so the spell actually reduces visibility ...
Zitat
This spell causes an object to radiate darkness out to a 20-foot radius. This darkness causes the illumination level in the area to drop one step, from bright light to normal light, from normal light to dim light, or from dim light to darkness. This spell has no effect in an area that is already dark. Creatures with light vulnerability or sensitivity take no penalties in normal light. All creatures gain concealment (20% miss chance) in dim light. All creatures gain total concealment (50% miss chance) in darkness. Creatures with darkvision can see in an area of dim light or darkness without penalty. Nonmagical sources of light, such as torches and lanterns, do not increase the light level in an area of darkness. Magical light sources only increase the light level in an area if they are of a higher spell level than darkness.
PRD Darkness (http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/spells/darkness.html#darkness)

... not the non-plus-ultra, but better. Doesn't make up for the old black blobs though.

So if people throw darkness about in my games, they use the AD&D/3E version or, if required, the new one (essentially using a lesser version of this SLA or spell at their own risk).

In terms of D&D I've never really advanced beyond 3rd Edn. I would be hard pressed to say what the differences are between V3.5 and 3rd Edn, except what it did to my bank account. I have lots of 3.5 books, such as Ptolus, but I always read them with a 3rd Edn eye.

The stick she moves about is fast and pretty agile. It could well be that she's faster than Sheiriya in the next round, even if the latter goes into ready, though it is rather unlikely.

Ini - order for round 4 is Zhadristan (darkness), Tathyln (arrows), Jhaevirr (???), Paval (restoration*)Hreishar ( :twisted: ) and Sheiriya (sinking and dooming).

No idea of Jhaevirr's actions as yet, by now, Sheiriya is still a few metres above ground, so Paval won't reach her with restoration. Would actually check whether he has noticed the kind of spell / effect that was cast at the female too.

In the game thread you say: "Sheiriya gasps when the magic hits her." Presumably that gasp is both audible and visible, which suggests something has affected her. Lack of a wound suggests that something has happened internally, or it's an assault that hasn't caused an external bleeding wound. It makes, to Paval, to cast Restoration, on the assumption that something has happened and in the heat of battle a full-on 'doctor and patient' analysis isn't possible.  :)

I didn't realise it was a touch spell. I checked it on SRD but the details about touching are with Lesser Restoration, which I didn't check until just now.  :oops:

Paval is happy to cast Restoration on Sheiriya too but he doesn't know if her ethereal status at the moment is the result of a spell. If it is a spell, then maybe she can quickly find out what's down the stairs behind the illusory wall.

I thought the question is already answered.

In the shadows of the tower, Paval takes a closer look at the illusion and discovers a small staircase leading into the lower parts of the tower. By the looks of it, Hreishar has not noticed it (as yet), since leaves, rubble and earth lies on the stairs in abundance - undisturbed for ages.

If you rest and want to memorize different spells, please let me know about your selection. Since we move OOC pretty slowly (mea culpa), it ain't not easy to keep track which spells have already been cast in the game.

Paval ... actually cast a divination earlier in the day. I assume he did it before memorizing it again, hence he cast his new version from the running daily alotment. (BTW, in the list I have at the moment, he did not prepare it at all  :o) ... hence my initial remark.)

Trying to put a pic of the place in here ...  let see. Fine!

Now, you came from the west and enter through the door on the bottom right of the room, which stands open. C and F mark the stairs up to the ledges with the sarcophagi, the necromancers and his companions stand right next to where F is on the map. D and E (south) simply mark the location of the sarcophagi in the southern wall, much like A and B mark those in the north. There's a well sort of thing in the middle of the room, depicting a dwarf in mourning of his fallen or dead comrades.

The necromancer is still talking to the other two chaps, both robed but more muscular than him. The shadow hovers nearby, while another person is trying to pry the eastern sarcophagus (to the right of F) open right now.

Well, Paval was in the second wave, though "I"  pushed him into the room alongside Tathlyn. They remained in the "shadow" of the entrance while Zhadristan and Korach were attacking head on and Jhaevirr sneaking about. That arrow-chap has a keen eyesight though and he hates drow, so I rolled for all concerned and as Fate (a.k.a. Beshaba a.k.a. the dice-roller on here) would have it, Paval was the target. He can easily retreat back somewhat and stay out of sight of the drow-hater.

He quickly moves up to the hulking Korach and tries to touch him, but the minotaur evades this attack just in time, producing a snarl from his attacker in return. The female retreats a little before castin a spell on herself, while Jhaevirr sneaks through the shadows and will reach the chap on the ledge soon, since this is the only one who does not have him in his sights.

Is the Silence spell still working near to Korach?

Paval can heal himself last and the next (2nd) round (?) and join the fray again, if there's something left standing.

Wands need a command word to function (tough it would be interesting to see one without it, being created with silent spell feat or the like), so by default its a no. He could retreat somewhat though and blast from afar ... if he deems that necessary, of course.

Paval can cast Talk to the Dead, so go ahead and kill her, we'll still get the info'. And hopefully, we can animate her corpse and make her useful.

Reminder of the situation via the use of the pic here (http://games.dnd-gate.de/index.php/topic,4415.225.html).

Korach stands where the F is on the map. Jhaelvirr is on the ledge to the right of F. Paval and Tathlyn stand near E, Zhadristan to the right of them. By the looks, the wee one makes for the exit that is to the South-East of E, i.e. the tunnel you came from.

Titel: Call of the Banshee Queen - Orga Thread
Beitrag von: Korach am 24.08.2010, 20:22:48
Is there a special reason for you not throwing a saving throw? :suspicious:

Zitat
If it deals damage, the harpoon lodges in an opponent who fails a Reflex saving throw (DC 10 + the damage dealt). A harpooned creature moves at only half speed and cannot charge or run. If you control the trailing rope by succeeding on an opposed Strength check while holding it, the harpooned creature can move only within the limits that the rope allows (the trailing rope is 30 feet long). If the harpooned creature attempts to cast a spell, it must succeed on a DC 15 Concentration check or lose the spell.
The harpooned creature can pull the harpoon from its wound if it has two free hand and takes a full-round action to do so, but it deals damage to itself equal to the initial damage the harpoon dealt. A character who succeeds on a DC 15 Heal check can remove the harpoon without further damage.

Well, in this case the mithral "rope" is 50 feet.
Of course this rules text should be adjusted to the situation. I would not expect a big dragon to be hindered by a normal sized harpoon sticking in its side but if our opponent is small than Korach's harpoon would be larger than him und could well be hindering unless he (or she or it) is somehow immun against such.

Well, just send me some kind of message when the others become active again, will you?

I will ... have been away over the weekend myself  :-X ... while Jhaevirr's alter ego is hanging about in Ireland.

What? I just posted recently.

Allright, an update of Jhaelvirr is in order anyway. But I don't have access to my books in the office, so that will have to wait til tonight or tomorrow.

Good, will see to the story in due cause. Had my knee OP on Tuesday and a hard time to get to my internet PC. Will try to get you going by the weekend.

Yeah, cheers for that. Holds up well ... which is a pitty. For my cute physiotherapist-ess might decide I only need the first 6 sessions with her  :o

Did the silence spell which was placed on the stone cease? Otherwise Korach's silence won't be heard.

No, but I suspected you put it away and it "faded" like a light or darkness spell put on an item. If you wear it "openly", you are dead silent on your hoofs!  :cool:

Oh, I thought the silence would not be hindered by the little bag. OK, then I will thing about something else for the stone. Maybe carrying it around between between his fingers and let it fall to the floor if he needs to grip his axe with both hands.

Methinks it has never been determined. But if it works with Light & Darkness, it should, given some circumstances, work with similar spells. So if put in a special bag, the silence is blocked, in a normal pouch or pocket, it is not.

Could we see how they probably died? War, or something different?

Quite a number of them have been killed in a war, which can be seen be the various wounds they have suffered. Then again, most of those are of the more bottom layer of bones, many of these are dwarven by nature. The skeletons atop of them vary in type and size, quite a few look to be humans, deep orcs, elves or drow, and the occasional ogre. All apparently slain by weapons or minor (i.e. non-blasting) magic.

Any weapons or armors around?

Nothing of value at first glance, but can uncover an adamantine greataxe sunk into a rusty breastplate of a long-dead dwarf. A number of skeletons in equally rusted chainmail lie atop of her. The rest is of minor quality, broken, or long since wrecked by time's destructive grasp.

Merry x-mas to one and all out there! Hope you're fine and well, if not, strife to make it happen  :alien:

Happy New Year, ye chosen few!

The light is still some 50 metres away, you have no clear line of sight. It looks and sounds like some sort of procession, of what you have no clue so far ...
