Pre-attack Plan (Dm Glenn) Monday November 1st, 2010 2:02:54 PM (ooc: Kathy -- If Vorelle is a matter of converting pathfinder, I'll gladly help with the conversion. Or were you thinking of converting to a new character? John/Aztyr -- You can post the Pathfinder sheets when you're ready, but we won't start using them until about Jan 1, 2011. Walter/Valanthe -- Your new pathfinder character use the same stats you originally rolled and at the same level of your current character. I think most people will keep the same character theme, but that's not a requirement that I'm aware of. When the conversion takes place your EXP will be converted to an equivalency amount for your character level. IE if you are halfway between 14th and 15th, then it will convert to halfway between 14th and 15th. )
Vorelle agrees with Malgant to kept it simple, and Appolo for keeping together. Aztyr opt for magically kicking the door in. Avalanthe agrees with the direct approach, nothing fancy.
Accepting the group's majority, Vauhwyt starts planing accordingly. Appolo gives a few suggestions, which Vauhwyt likes, but reminds him of what happened last time to Vorelle. Malgant agrees with Applolo's plan to send summoned creatures down different tunnels
The group is in control of when and where they start their attack. (ooc: What time of day do you start and , how many days do you wait from the scout mission?)
Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Scrying) Monday November 1st, 2010 5:32:56 PM
"Ooh! I like the idea of sending multiple summoned things down the corridors. I could also do some beter scouting in the Realm of Shadows at the same time, if we can think of some way for me to evade those undead howling spirit things."
Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Scrying) Monday November 1st, 2010 5:58:29 PM
"Heightened hide from undead might work, I suppose?" muses Vauhwyt. "Nice thing about that is it can hide many people, even summoned creatures who we send off."
"Any way to boost that save DC? Mal, is your Wis boosted as high as it can go?"
[OOC: Looking over Mal's sheet ... Mal, looks like you got no Wis boost at all, just a nat 18! You should totally cast Owl's Wis, then Hide from Undead, which gives a pretty sweet DC17 on the save. You got a Sanctuary to cast too, so why not?]
Vorelle Monday November 1st, 2010 6:19:26 PM
"Just as long as I don't wind up sneaking down another tunnel into an ambush," Vorelle says.
Valanthe AC 32/ 25 vs intangible HP 156/ 156, Light Fortifacation, Monday November 1st, 2010 11:38:18 PM
"If we get hit with large groups of undead just stay out of my way. Gargul's Fist is enchanted specially for undead, even the insubstantial ones. As well is my armor. One thing will be clear pretty quickly. If the undead use coordination and team work then they are being controlled directly. Which I'm guessing means the necromancer considers us a threat."
OOC: glad to hear it. That's what I was hoping would happen. Valanthe will keep the same theme, plated, shield carrying, tank. I have only glanced at the book so I can't know how much she will stay the same until I start getting into the details.
Moderate Fortification, AC 30, 128/128 hp Malgant Tuesday November 2nd, 2010 2:24:49 AM " And if we meet the unliving, allow Valanthe to deal with the insubstantial ones while I destroy those with physical form. My blade has also been enchanted to deal them horrifying blows. How long are we waiting before we attack? I will need until at least morning to pray."

Vauhwyt likes the idea of summoned scouts/fodder, and adds the idea of using magic to hide from undead. Vorelle whats to avoid ambushes, but Valanthe looks forward to kicking undead booty. Malgant call dibs on physical undead. Meanwhile, Aztyr reviews her spells.
The wizard's stronghold awaits their attack.
Valanthe AC 32/ 25 vs intangible HP 156/ 156, Light Fortifacation, Wednesday November 3rd, 2010 6:59:11 AM
"While I do not like the idea, that shadow place is probably our best way inside the stronghold. As long as we are quick and prepared to retreat. I do not wish to fight the denziens of that place and the undead legions of the necromancers lair."
Vorelle Wednesday November 3rd, 2010 11:08:20 AM
"If this shadow place affects the mind, I will probably need help to overcome it," says Vorelle
[Translation: Vorelle's Will save sucks. :) ]
Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Scrying) Wednesday November 3rd, 2010 3:11:03 PM
Okay, taking what we have talked about in terms of creating a distraction, kicking in the door, using waves of summoned creatures, here is what I suggest.
1. In the morning we cast our long-term spells. The ones that last for hours.
2. Twenty minutes after that, and about every twenty to thirty minutes thereafter, we roll a six-sided die. On a roll of 1, we GO. This way, even we don't know when exactly we will attack, so the enemy can't know by spying or divining.
3. We cast our buffs. Those include the usuals plus ... -- Owl's Wis for Mal, so he can better cast Hide from Undead on me, Mookie, Aztyr, and himself. Resist Fear spells are important too. I urge Mal to cast a Deeper Darkness beforehand too, on something he can throw away if need be. -- In addition to my usuals, I'll cast Sum Monster IV before we teleport to summon a lantern archon. I'll also read my Locate Creature scroll. -- Aztyr has See Invis, Shield, Mirror Image, etc to cast.
4. We teleport. I bring three people with: Vorelle, Appolo, and my archon. Aztyr brings three people with: Mal (counts as two) and Val.
5. In the darkness, Aztyr and Mal (Summoning Team) start summoning waves of monsters. They are to go into all six tunnels. I suggest that among you send at least six lantern archons because with their telepathy, they can report back from inside each tunnel what they find, and they can Aid other summoned creatures.
6. I get a fix with the Locate Creature spell, if possible. Then I take Vorelle, Val, and Appolo, and my archon (Strike Team) into the Realm of Shadows. Vorelle, Val, and Appolo have the job of fighting any undead / spirits / howlers there. Vauhwyt's job is to find the girls. The archon will use its telepathy to coordinate us all and make sure no one gets lost.
7. Improvise! Maybe we find the girls, shift out of the shadows, send a telepathic message to Aztyr and Mal via archon, and teleport out. Or go back into the shadows with the girls and escape that way. Or we find the right passage, and everybody converges on it. Or we hit hard, see how it goes, and retreat as needed. We can always try again tomorrow.
8. One hitch -- it sure would be nice for the Strike Team to be able to communicate with Summoning Team while in the Realm of Shadows. Would this work? Arrive via Teleport. Mal or Aztyr summons a bunch of Lantern Archons or a single Hound Archon. Let that archon know Vauhwyt. Then the Strike Team enters the shadows. From the Shadows, Vauhwyt casts Blink. Then she is blinking back and forth between planes. When she is material, she ESPs to the one archon. When she is shadowy, she ESPs to the other. That way she can talk with both teams. Does that make sense? Could it work?
Thoughts? Comments? Problems?
Moderate Fortification, AC 30, 128/128 hp Malgant Wednesday November 3rd, 2010 9:24:52 PM
OOC Vauhwyt can you cast helping hand, 3rd level cleric spell. If not I can and can send to the girls to follow it.
Valanthe AC 32/ 25 vs intangible HP 156/ 156, Light Fortifacation, Wednesday November 3rd, 2010 10:49:14 PM
OOC: sounds good to me. I like the random go time.
Pre-attack Plan (Dm Glenn) Thursday November 4th, 2010 9:07:30 AM
Not linking the shadows, Valanthe agrees with the approach. Vorelle is concerned about it affecting her mind. Vauhwyt lays out a detailed plan.
All that's left is for the morning of the attack to come.
(Are you all ready?)
Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Scrying) Thursday November 4th, 2010 10:05:17 AM
I'm ready, thanks! Just give us a post to do all the buffing and lost all the spells etc etc.

Moderate Fortification, AC 30, 128/128 hp Malgant Thursday November 4th, 2010 8:09:51 PM
Since Vauhwyt has always used message to link the group's communications, he suggests she do it again, at least it will work until they exceed the range. Malgant will not be summoning more than 1 thing for the fight, a planar ally, hopefully an astral deva devoted to Imod and the ethos of protection. He will rely on Aztyr for all other summons. He will ward each of the tunnels with a glyph, which will trigger if the word "courage" is not uttered before passing the glyph. He will place them at the mouth of each of the tunnels. He and Aztyr will set up an anchor point and defend it against all comers, with the help of Malgant's planar ally. He will ward them as best he can against fear and consecrate the ground on which he fights provided there is enough time. He will hide them from undead and pray that they can find the girls while he and Aztyr hold the line. If all of this is acceptable, he will retire for the night, most of is preparations will be in the morning.

Aztyr says,"I'll cast a few prep spells just before we teleport out, but to set up the Sanctum, will take 10 minutes. I doubt that I will ever be allowed the time to compleat the casting, but I will attempt it none the less. I will be casting two summonings to get the scouts we need, but again, I can't guarentee that they'll be all that usefull. I'll be ready in the morning as well."

swore I put this in last night. Using prep time I will cast the glyphs on lengths of rope and place them acoss the openings to the caves. thus all the casting will occur before we get there and I can try and place the consecrate. Glyphs were your idea, not mine.
Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Scrying) Friday November 5th, 2010 7:26:29 AM
Glyph on a rope! Great idea!
Moderate Fortification, AC 30, 128/128 hp Malgant Friday November 5th, 2010 10:41:49 AM
OOC like soap on a rope, but more destructive. As for the consecrate, it will deny any undead advantages they may have gotten from home turf. It is also maximum invasion of his space like you wanted. Hopefully it will focus the attention of the defenders on myself and Aztyr and allow you more search and retrieve time. I want to change one spell though, I don't want teleport as our only escape plan. Is that ok Glenn? I want to remove a heal for a wind walk. Cast early it gives us another escape option, even if it will take a few rounds to make work.
Pre-attack Plan (Dm Glenn) Friday November 5th, 2010 4:28:14 PM
With everyone ready the chosen morning of attack upon the wizard's stronghold arrives.
The spellcasters who need to renew there spell and selections have the time to do so.
(ooc: Those who need to preselect your spells, please post your selections. Those casting or taking preparations please post them.)
(ooc: Glyphs on a rope? Nice try! You can use a Glyph to guard a area or an object. Glyphs on area prevent creatures from entering the area. Glyphs on object prevent them from being opened. The Glyph on a rope would only guard the rope from being opened.)
Moderate Fortification, AC 30, 128/128 hp Malgant Friday November 5th, 2010 9:22:57 PM
This powerful inscription harms those who enter, pass, or open the warded area or object. A glyph of warding can guard a bridge or passage, ward a portal, trap a chest or box, and so on. Glyphs don't PREVENT anything. They cause bad things to happen when you open, pass, or enter an area or object. If you want to say it won't work that's OK, and I'll reselect my spells, because I know for a fact we aren't getting 60 minutes of alone time out there. but warding an item so that when it is bassed should work, especially if I place it across an opening.

Malgant sleeps and prays in the morning. committed to their set plan he casts his long term spells. He says a prayer asking for divine assistance in the form of a planar Ally. He asks that a protective Astral Deva be sent to help with the retrieval of 5 children he has sworn to see safely home. If it is a aspect of Imod it should be amenable to the protective nature of the operation. before they go He casts wind walk to give them a non teleport option for escape.

Aztyr rests well for the night and in the morning she casts her regular Mage Armor spell, and extends it as usual. "I'd like a couple minutes before we go, to cast my other short term spells."
Mage Armor (cast at 6 am 26 hour duration) Status cast by Malgant, (cast at 6am 26 hour duration) Hat of Disguise : appears armored like an ancient Liontaur Shaman
In the morning, after taking off her armor, Vauhwyt casts her long-duration spells: Detect Scrying first thing, as always. Then Extended Greater Magic Weapon on her armor spikes. Extended Greater Magic Weapon on Mal's weapon. False Life (1d10+10 hp = +xx) on herself, shared with Mookie.
Then she casts her Nemesis Insight spell on herself (shared with Mookie), Val, Vorelle, and Appolo. It lasts 13 hours and gives a +6 vs Dul and +3 vs his allies / members of his group, as our kindly DM allows.
From the spell description: You gain an insight bonus on attacks, spell DCs, and poison DCs when attacking members of a particular set of people who are the object of your current revenge. The set could be a tribe, race, organization, guild, or other clearly definable group -- as approved by the DM. The focus of the spell is a lock of hair or drop of blood from a member of the group. The bonus is doubled against the particular individual from whom the hair or blood was taken. The amount of the bonus is +1 per four caster levels (maximum +5).
I'm hoping that the owl feather Vauhwyt found on Oct 1 will serve for the spell focus. If not, let me know, and I won't waste the spell slots -- or at least, not more than one slot if the first casting fails.
Hopefully Mal will cast his spell to put an enhancement bonus on her mithril buckler.
Then we roll a die every 20 minutes to decide exactly when to go. After the six comes up on the die, we cast our short-term buffs.
Vauhwyt casts, in order: Alter Self (on Mookie, to give him monkey form), Heroism (shared with Mookie), Heroism on Vorelle, Val, and Appolo, Expeditious Retreat, Locate Creature (from scroll), Summon Monster IV (to call her friend Ark the Archon), and Teleport.
She quickly explains the mission to Ark: "We're going to rescue my girls from kidnappers. First, cast Aid on my friends. As soon as we teleport, stay hidden in my backpack and keep in telepathic contact with as many of us here as you can. Also cast Aid on me and keep doing so each round if you are not doing anything else."
She coordinates with Aztyr so that the group arrives together. Vauhwyt's Teleport is shared with Mookie and allows her to bring four medium size passengers: She brings Appolo, Vorelle, Val, and Ark. That leaves Aztyr to bring Mal (counts as two), the planar ally that Mal mentioned, and any summoned monster she or Mal has summoned.
These nine spells need arcane fail checks, since she has her armor on to cast them: d100=51 ; d100=71 ; d100=84 ; d100=46 ; d100=47 ; d100=27 ; d100=27 ; d100=55 ; d100=3
Oh Noes! The very last spell she cast, the teleport, fails when she accidentally snags a hand on an armor spike! She has to try again: d100=21. That's okay. But what about error in casting the teleport: her "on target" check is a 53, so that's okay too. However, she may have arrived a round after Aztyr? Depends on whether she was waiting for Vauhwyt to cast her spell before casting it herself.
For two rounds before the teleport, Ark casts Aid on Vorelle and Val. After the teleport, Ark casts Aid on Appolo and then hides in Vauhwyt's backpack.

OOC: UGGH, I clicked post and the site logged me out and I lost all I typed.
IC: Aztyr has a few spells to cast before Teleporting. First she protects both herself and Malgant from Cold and Fire She then casts See Invisable on herself as well as Protection from Evil. (total of 6 spells) She will then time her casting of Teleport to go when Vauhwyt starts casting hers (the first cast) And ignoring all outher distractions, she succeeds in casting her Teleport, most likely arriving 1 round before Vauhwyt and crew.

Calling upon a planner ally, Malgant convinces the Astral Deva to help without charge for one hour in rescuing and returning 5 children home. (ooc: Note I am treating the Astral Deva as an NPC. You should post its action, but I may override it if I think it would behave differently. )
Aztyr cast her spells and takes on the appearance of an ancient armored Liontaur Shaman.
Vauhwyt prepares her magic of ritual revenge (ooc: yes the feather can serve as Nemesis Insight, but the spell's range is personal, so It's only good for you {& share with Mookie}) . Casting the remainder of her prep spells. The Liontaur calls upon Ark, the Archon declines hiding in the backpack since technically it is a demiplane in there and it can't communicate across plane boundaries, "The connection fees are out of this world!, Also I'm not telepathic."
Having a little trouble Vauhwyt teleports to the outside the cave where they did before. Bringing Appolo, Vorelle, Val, and Ark. They arrive just after Aztyr, Mal and friends.
Your one the side of a desolate mountain near a cavern entrance to the larger enter cavern. The larger mount bones to the southeast towers over your lesser mountain.

Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Scrying) d100=36 ; Monday November 8th, 2010 9:19:01 PM
Wowsy! You are right about the Nemesis Insight! I have edited the spell's effect from "Creature Touched" to "You." Sorry, and thanks for keeping me honest.
Also, did Mal want to cast any other spells? I was really hoping for Owls Wisdom on himself, Hide from Undead on me and Mookie (one creature per level, I think), and Magic Armor on my Shield, per our standing dealio. Also, why not Summon Monster 5 or 6 and teleport it in with Aztyr, like I'm doing with Ark the Archon? Maybe something that can keep us in touch with telepathy, like my Archon.
These are just suggestions. I also suggest deeper darkness if you do not intend to attack or move.
Oh, and one more spell from Vauhwyt, per Mal's suggestion. Hope this is okay: Message to let us whisper to each other too, so long as we're in range. Arcane Spell Fail on that: 36 = A-OK.

Vauhwyt apologizes for the mistake. "Sorry," she says, "There is much I do not know. Please forgive my errorr." Her accent reveals her chagrin.
She explains that she wants to stay hidden as long as possible. If he can hide in her shadow, and/or dim his light down enough to be hidden, then fine. Otherwise, she hopes he'll consider the backpack. The lives of five innocent children are at stake, and it would be a shame if his glow gave them away.

Casting from the shield, he casts Shield Other on Aztyr. (duration 14 hours) Then Malgant casts Owl's Wisdom on himself.(140 rounds) He then casts Hide from undead on Vauhwyt, Vorelle, Valanthe, Appolo, Mookie and the Archon Lantern.(140 minutes) He also explains that if anyone under the spell should attack undead, the entire spell goes away. That's why Aztyr and himself are not included. He casts Bull's strength on Apollo (+4 strength for 140 rounds) He then casts Death Ward on Everyone Starting with Vauhwyt (140 rounds) Vorelle, Apolo, Val, Aztyr and then himself.

As Malgant, the Diva and Aztyr arrive, she looks a bit stunned that Vauhwyt fails to arrive, hoping they didn't get lost, but willing to give it a few moments before they bail from the mission. She casts Shield on herself, channeling it through the Rod of Lessor Extend. (28 minutes Duration)
OOC: will do posts for the round Vauhwyt arrives tommorow for both Malgant and myself.

Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Scrying) d20+17=29 ; d20+17=31 ; d20+17=18 ; d20+17=19 ; Tuesday November 9th, 2010 7:58:48 PM
Round -1: - Vauhwyt Cast Summon Monster IV. - Archon casts Aid on Val (+9 temp hit points) - Mookie (monkey form) tries to read a See Invisibility scroll: UMD checks: 29 = emulates 14 Int; 31 = casts the spell
Round 0: - Aztyr teleports. - Mal casts Spell Immunity - Vauhwyt tries and fails. - Archon casts Aid on Vorelle (+3 temp hit points). - Mookie tries to read scroll of invisibility: UMD 18 = fails to emulate 12 Int.
Round 1: - Aztyr (per post above, if I understand correctly) casts Shield - Mal casts Helping Hand - Vauhwyt teleports successfully. - Archon casts Aid on Appolo (+9 temp hit points). - Mookie tries to read scroll of invisibility: UMD 19 = fails to emulate 12 Int.
One more action for Vauhwyt for the round of arrival, requiring no action: Uses Locate Creature to see if she senses Hope.
Future planning: Next round she plans to draw Vorelle, Val, Appolo, Mookie, and the Archon into the Realm of Shadows. That means a DC20 Will save to avoid 1d6 Con damage. That will take a DC20 concentration check for Vauhwyt to pull off, but since her Concentration modifier is a +22, no problem. If you do not want to come, Appolo, Val, or Vorelle, now's the time to say no thanks!
Spells in effect to come shortly.

Attack upon the wizard stronghold (Dm Glenn) Tuesday November 9th, 2010 8:51:37 PM
Val is concerned if they have the right place or if their foes have moved. Vorelle looks for signs in the tracks, She can see the signs left by the scout part's first trip here, but no other signs of anyone passing this way. If they use sentries they don't leave tracks.
The Diva follows Mal's request to cast Remove Fear on everyone.
Ark promises to say hidden.
Vauhwyt's attempt to locate one of the girls seems to work indicating a direction into the mountain through the entry cavern and slightly to the right.
The large entry cavern dosn't seem to have changed since you scouted it, it's still large rough natual looking with worked stone at the back where size tunnels each 5ft wide and 10ft high head deeper into the mountain.
How joins Vauhwyt for a trip into the shadow realm?
Vorelle [Heroism, Aid, Hide from Undead, Death Ward] Tuesday November 9th, 2010 10:12:12 PM
Vorelle looks up from her study of the ground.
"Well, if there were sentries here, they don't have feet," she says. That's not as reassuring as it used to be.
Posting for Malgant Wednesday November 10th, 2010 4:58:52 PM

Attack upon the wizard stronghold (Dm Glenn) Wednesday November 10th, 2010 9:28:55 PM
Vorelle continues to study the ground, as Malgant and the Diva cast spells. Aztyr is Busy summoning Archon Hounds and having them cast their own spells.
Vauhwyt is waiting to see who is going with her into the shadow realm.
Valanthe AC 32/ 25 vs intangible HP 178/ 169, Light Fortifacation,Aid Thursday November 11th, 2010 9:13:48 AM
"No I'll go. That place is unsettling but I don't think its any greater risk than walking in the front door. Let's go."
Appolo Ac 34 HP106 . . d20+6=8 ; Thursday November 11th, 2010 9:30:42 AM
Appolo looks around "Ok Moma let's go get our girls and chop that fool druid.You know I like walking in the shadows." Appolo is clearly ready to go with Vauhwyt.
Vauhwyt and Mookie (Detect Scrying) Thursday November 11th, 2010 7:00:01 PM
"Vorelle?" asks Vauwhyt, wondering if her friend would rather stay with Mal and Aztyr.

"Yes, I'm coming with you," Vorelle tells Vauhwyt.
Moderate Fortification, AC 30, 128/128 hp Malgant Friday November 12th, 2010 6:38:12 PM
As Vauhwyt prepares to take her strike group into the shadows to penetrate the mountains defenses, Malgant locks eyes with Valanthe 'Be careful, stay safe,I love you' all are passed with that momentary gaze. He dares not stop his casting to consecrate the ground, though he knows full well that his chance of finishing the prayer are slim once the assault eventually starts. Malgant is in S42. This will be the center of the consecrated area. That way we have the single path to fall back to that will slow the undead we expect down a little. He asks the Deva to stay close enough to him and Aztyr to provide them benefit from his aura once the fighting starts. He has also told the Deva( what is its name anyway?) that all of the opponents he expects to face will be aligned in some way other than good so a holy word should cause them great harm. He and Aztyr are both of good alignment, but the Deva would have already left if we were not.

Questions
Did I get a GMW Vauhwyt?
OOC Also, I am able to post again. my computer has been liberated from the forces that held it captive. Also I returned to work this past week and promptly found out I was not ready, so I am back out on disability. Standing around doesn't sound too hard until you try to do it with multiple rib fractures on concrete for 8 hours a day. Yeah. Who knew.

Aztyr is in Q44. To the Archon Hounds she says,"Aid yourselves if you haven't them please split up and go down those tunnels over there. We are looking for 5 hatchlings that our friend was raising as her own. The other's are going to be searching for them, but Myself and Malgant are trying to attract attention, bringing them to us, and allowing the others to get in undetected." She then begins to cast her long term spell as well. She starts casting Mordenkainen's Private Scantum. (casting time 10 minutes)
