What Do You Mean He Can't Climb? He's Like 30th level?!

When I went to write This Post, I was surprised to discover that Raven has basically Zero Ranks in Climb.

None.

Zilch.

Nada.

He's the highest level character in the party and can't climb any better than Farmer Fred or Joe Commoner.  Even worse, he doesn't have any magical items that confer Flight, Levitation, or Climbing ability.

Someone is definitely going to have to spend some points in areas that have been neglected over the years.

Quiet Before the Storm (Part Two)

Image
27 Gildember thru 27 Darkember 348 AC At the Tower of High Sorcery, all three wizards study in the library, with each adding spells to their repertoire. Ra’ziir spends some time in the surrounding Forest of Wayreth, practicing with a recently acquired item to assess its abilities and limitations. Shadow will wait for an opportunity to speak with Lady Ladonna.  He will ask her to take a look at “an item I acquired many years ago from its original owner who ... died suddenly.” He presents a Black Robe of the Archmagi to her. “I was wondering what your Order may have collecting dust or riding around in a bag of holding that would be of interest to me. “Black is my natural color but I like my robes with a bit of pop to them.” Ladonna raises one eyebrow, "I am sure we can arrange a suitable exchange." “Wonderful! Let’s make a deal.” The two wizards retreat to a private chamber for a haggling session that results in Shadow trading the potent robe for a magical protective ring a...

Quiet Before the Storm (Part Three)

Image
27 Darkember thru 19 Frostkolt 348 AC Ra’ziir spends some time reviewing maps of this world to better understand the lay of the land and sea as well as some of the more prominent points/locations of interest. What he finds are maps from before and after the Cataclysm. The entire shape of the continent is vastly different. Most of the cities are in roughly the same place, although the retreat or advance of the seas in relation to the altered coastline has submerged some and left others completely landlocked. Many towns do not appear on the newer maps, with no indication as to whether they were destroyed or were left off for the convenience of the cartographer. Still, he is assured that the maps are as accurate as was possible at the time of their production but it is fairly likely that some errors are present. Shadow will spend some time with the other two wizards looking at the maps and discussing the vulnerability and defenses of the dragonmen the party encountere in hopes of coming ...

Quiet Before the Storm (Part One)

Image
27 Gildember thru 27 Darkember 348 AC Arthur sheaths Lawbringer and picks up his winged shield. "By Malazzarr, I hope I can get this fixed," he breathes heavily and leans on his sword for a bit of support "Everyone okay?" Romulus looks at the shield. "Most of that should buff right out. We'll grab some walnut oil back in town and get you set up." Once the party returns to Silvanost, the halfling fits the newly enchanted onyx into Dickory's Clock. The other two gems, an amethyst and a tiger's eye, flash as their new companion piece is inserted. The entire bracer glows for about a minute, emitting an aura that extends perhaps a finger's width above the leather before slowly being absorbed back into the material. Once the mystical, time-manipulating bracer has been repaired, Romulus returns it to Raven. He then writes about the ritual the group performed and observations he made during the subsequent battle. While Romulus is working on his...

Smoke Powder Golem

Smoke Powder Golem                                     CR13 (Original drawing of Smoke Powder Golem)   A Smoke Powder Golem is a blending of technology and the divine magic of Gond created to serve as temple guardians.   On average, the golem stands 12’ tall and weighs 8,000 pounds.   The smoke powder golem resembles the more common Iron Golem except its right arm has been replaced with the thick barrel of a bombard.   A large “backpack” has been built onto the golem and contains the ammunition for the golem’s cannon (internal magazine of six shells).   Firing the cannon causes the next shell to automatically, move into the firing chamber.   The golem smells of oil and sulfur.   N Large Construct Init: -1; Senses: Listen +0, Spot +0 Languages: Understands the langua...

Pollenado

I have to say that I did not know how I wanted to stat this creature. Did I want to make it an elemental because of the tornado aspect or a plant because of the whole pollen thing? I eventually decided on Outsider with some borrowed traits. I hope everyone enjoys.  Pollenado N Medium Outsider (Swarm of Fine Outsiders) Init: +7, Senses: Listen +5, Spot +5, Low-Light Vision Languages: Speaks Auran and Sylvan AC: 16 (+3 Dex, +3 Natural), t: 13, ff: 13 Hp: 9 (2HD) Immune: as Plant and Swarm Fort +3, Ref +6, Will +3 Spd: fly 50’ (perfect) Melee +5 Slam: 1d6 Str: 10, Dex: 17, Con: 10, Int: 4, Wis: 11, Cha: 11 SA: Distraction, Pollen Cloud SQ: Plant Traits, Swarm Traits Feats: Flyby Attack, Improved Initiative (b), Weapon Finesse (b) Skills: Knowledge (Nature) +2, Knowledge (the Planes) +2, Knowledge (Religion) +2, Listen +5, Spot +5 Environment: House of Nature (Great Mother’s Garden) Organization: Solitary Advancement: 3-6 HD (Medium), 7-11 (Large), 12-15 (...
