Wizard of the Coat

Heh! Thanks for the laugh. I suppose my end of semester does seem to be leading to a spectacular fireball.

I suppose that speaks to how crazy my week has been and how sleep deprived I am. My apple watch tells me that I've averaged a little over five hours a night this month. I'll be so glad when this semester is over (just a couple more weeks!).

Oh, hey, and I was kinda waiting for a reply (or an "ignored the kobold" response) before posting again.

That's what I was worried about. Apologies to all for further delays. I've got a big faculty meeting that will run well past 5 and then I've got a long drive to pick up my wife at an airport. I doubt I'll get a post out today. I should be good to post tomorrow.

I need to check something before posting in the IC. Is Sirona back at the spaceport in the Banshee waiting for us or did she drop us off with plans to come back when we signal?

I thought D'Art was our early warning system. I smiled at the thought of Yopine watching the dog, and the dog watching the hare quarters, occasionally looking to Aly (or whoever is cooking) in anticipation of being fed.

FYI, Nina wears an earbud comlink and all the PCs have access to it (they know her comm channel or comm number or whatever).

Sorry to lose you, Alterangel. Hope your home situation improves.

Hades (and everyone else), I don't want Nina to come across like she's taking charge. Nor do I want to limit the other PCs' choices. I've tried to post IC details trying to make clear that she's not wanting to do that. So if those efforts are not working, let me know and we can retcon the scene or whatever.

Just wanted to double check that something. Red Knell is hiding from the guards on deck, not from Ms. Blueblood. I'm assuming Red and Blue can see each other because they don't have cover/concealment from each other in which to hide. Is that correct?

I think I'm good with the briefing scene with Racine. I don't have any more questions. Does anyone else have any questions for her? Moving forward, it looks like we need to purchase supplies from the black marketeer guy, and get advice from the Clockwork King. If the rest of you are ready to move on, let's let Billy know.

Wait... what? He revealed his true identity? Did this happen in a side conversation or in the main thread when Ragz was present (and I somehow missed it)?

For some strange reason, I thought we were in combat rounds, so I only posted one round worth of action. But after seeing your post, I realized my mistake--and that going to combat rounds so soon would only slow the game to a crawl. Consequently, I added a couple of additional sentences to my post, leaving Red Knell at the top of the foremast yard arm, in position to do her thing.

Ragz feels a sudden warm tingling sensation as Aly's disembodied controller thinks of him as a tank.

Ragz The black dog seemed to resist the glow of the campfire, her coat clinging to the deepening shadows. She looked to where Aly pointed as if she understood common, but then cocked her head at the human woman, confused. A moment later, she'd turned her attention back to the hares sitting her rump down and staring--a clear canine signal that she was waiting patiently to be fed without begging. Ragz made a rumble in his throat, perhaps the elderly kobold equivalent of ahem. "It seems to Ragz that a stray black dog only partakes of meat if the kill was... merciful. Even then, a dog avoids offal. A stray black dog is much trouble." Both kobold and mastiff remained at the cookfire, watching as Aly busied herself with the hares and the remainder of the food prep, Ragz offering to help in any way possible, the mastiff eyeing the hare quarters impatiently.

All in all, her dismal evening was looking to end on a high note. She had a smile on her face as she melted into shadow, disappearing from the dark waves at Mary Rose's prow, only to reappear a heartbeat later up above atop the gunwale. Of course, no one would see the smile, her face covered by the bandana, eyepatch and wide-brimmed hat. Red Knell immediately slinked down onto the deck of the forecastle, crouching well out of sight of the gambling guards seated below on the main deck. Quietly, she padded barefoot across the rain-slicked deck to a spot between the bowsprit brace and the anchor wheel--so as to be hidden should a patrol climb up to the forecastle. Satisfied with her concealed position, the redhead looked around her, fearful of possible familiars--rats, birds or other small creatures--spying on her, then turned her attention to the foremast and rigging, considering the best concealed climbing approach up to the yard. Given her ability to instantly move through shadows up to a distance of some ten paces, Knell's climbing approaches were not constrained by details such as easy reach or access points. The one-eye'd pirate again faded into shadows, appearing some thirty feet above in the rigging. With a combination of climbing and moving through shadows, she reached a position atop the yard where she could conceal herself from the gamblers below, but still survey the deck below.

Ragz Ragz returned from his nightly hunt with two hares draped over his shoulders, the black dog close on his heals. He stopped in his tracks when he saw the boiling pot, the meat cuts, the remains of the butchered gazelle. His shoulders drooped back down to their usual position. The black dog barrelled passed the kobold, suddenly at the campfire, sniffing about, tail wagging. She checked out Aly's boiling pot and meat cuts as if searching for a new toy. Then she moved to the butchered gazelle, still sniffing about. But her tail suddenly stopped wagging. She lifted her head and scanned the camp, sniffing, searching, not finding. Abandoning her search, she trotted back to the kobold, who had moved to the campfire. He held the two hares up for Aly's inspection. "Should Ragz let two hares ripen for a day or should a dog have them?"

On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves 5 feet or more before then, the target takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends. This spell's damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target on a hit, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8.

You can perform one of these tasks without being noticed by a creature if you succeed on a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check contested by the creature's Wisdom (Perception) check.

On a hit, the target suffers the weapon attack's normal effects and then becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves 5 feet or more before then, the target takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends. This spell's damage increases when you reach certain levels. At 5th level, the melee attack deals an extra 1d8 thunder damage to the target on a hit, and the damage the target takes for moving increases to 2d8. Both damage rolls increase by 1d8 at 11th level (2d8 and 3d8) and again at 17th level (3d8 and 4d8). | Mage HandConjuration cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: V, S Duration: 1 minute A spectral, floating hand appears at a point you choose within range. The hand lasts for the duration or until you dismiss it as an action. The hand vanishes if it is ever more than 30 feet away from you or if you cast this spell again. You can use your action to control the hand. You can use the hand to manipulate an object, open an unlocked door or container, stow or retrieve an item from an open container, or pour the contents out of a vial. You can move the hand up to 30 feet each time you use it. The hand can't attack, activate magic items, or carry more than 10 pounds. | MessageTransmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 120 feet Components: V, S, M (a short piece of copper wire) Duration: 1 round You point your finger toward a creature within range and whisper a message. The target (and only the target) hears the message and can reply in a whisper that only you can hear. You can cast this spell through solid objects if you are familiar with the target and know it is beyond the barrier. Magical silence, 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood blocks the spell. The spell doesn't have to follow a straight line and can travel freely around corners or through openings. | Minor IllusionIllusion cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 30 feet Components: S, M (a bit of fleece) Duration: 1 minute You create a sound or an image of an object within range that lasts for the duration. The illusion also ends if you dismiss it as an action or cast this spell again. If you create a sound, its volume can range from a whisper to a scream. It can be your voice, someone else's voice, a lion's roar, a beating of drums, or any other sound you choose. The sound continues unabated throughout the duration, or you can make discrete sounds at different times before the spell ends. If you create an image of an object—such as a chair, muddy footprints, or a small chest—it must be no larger than a 5-foot cube. The image can't create sound, light, smell, or any other sensory effect. Physical interaction with the image reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it. If a creature uses its action to examine the sound or image, the creature can determine that it is an illusion with a successful Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. If a creature discerns the illusion for what it is, the illusion becomes faint to the creature. | PrestidigitationTransmutation cantrip Casting Time: 1 action Range: 10 feet Components: V, S Duration: Up to 1 hour This spell is a minor magical trick that novice spellcasters use for practice. You create one of the following magical effects within range: >You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as a shower of sparks, a puff of wind, faint musical notes, or an odd odor. >You instantaneously light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. >You instantaneously clean or soil an object no larger than 1 cubic foot. >You chill, warm, or flavor up to 1 cubic foot of nonliving material for 1 hour. >You make a color, a small mark, or a symbol appear on an object or a surface for 1 hour. >You create a nonmagical trinket or an illusory image that can fit in your hand and that lasts until the end of your next turn. If you cast this spell multiple times, you can have up to three of its non-instantaneous effects active at a time, and you can dismiss such an effect as an action. Spells Disguise Self1st-level illusion Casting Time: 1 action Range: Self Components: V, S Duration: 1 hour You make yourself—including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person—look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it. You can seem 1 foot shorter or taller and can appear thin, fat, or in between. You can't change your body type, so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection. For example, if you use this spell to add a hat to your outfit, objects pass through the hat, and anyone who touches it would feel nothing or would feel your head and hair. If you use this spell to appear thinner than you are, the hand of someone who reaches out to touch you would bump into you while it was seemingly still in midair. To discern that you are disguised, a creature can use its action to inspect your appearance and must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC. | Find FamiliarCasting Time: 1 hour Range: 10 feet Components: V, S, M (10 gp worth of charcoal, incense, and herbs that must be consumed by fire in a brass brazier) Duration: Instantaneous You gain the service of a familiar, a spirit that takes an animal form you choose: bat, cat, crab, frog (toad), hawk, lizard, octopus, owl, poisonous snake, fish (quipper), rat, raven, sea horse, spider, or weasel. Appearing in an unoccupied space within range, the familiar has the statistics of the chosen form, though it is a celestial, fey, or fiend (your choice) instead of a beast. Additional animal form choices may be available at the DM's discretion. Your familiar acts independently of you, but it always obeys your commands. In combat, it rolls its own initiative and acts on its own turn. A familiar can't attack, but it can take other actions as normal. When the familiar drops to 0 hit points, it disappears, leaving behind no physical form. It reappears after you cast this spell again. As an action, you can temporarily dismiss the familiar to a pocket dimension. Alternatively, you can dismiss it forever. As an action while it is temporarily dismissed, you can cause it to reappear in any unoccupied space within 30 feet of you. Whenever the familiar drops to 0 hit points or disappears into the pocket dimension, it leaves behind in its space anything it was wearing or carrying. While your familiar is within 100 feet of you, you can communicate with it telepathically. Additionally, as an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn, gaining the benefits of any special senses that the familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses. You can't have more than one familiar at a time. If you cast this spell while you already have a familiar, you instead cause it to adopt a new form. Choose one of the forms from the above list. Your familiar transforms into the chosen creature. Finally, when you cast a spell with a range of touch, your familiar can deliver the spell as if it had cast the spell. Your familiar must be within 100 feet of you, and it must use its reaction to deliver the spell when you cast it. If the spell requires an attack roll, you use your attack modifier for the roll. | Mage Armor1st-level abjuration Casting Time: 1 action Range: Touch Components: V, S, M (a piece of cured leather) Duration: 8 hours You touch a willing creature who isn't wearing armor, and a protective magical force surrounds it until the spell ends. The target's base AC becomes 13 + its Dexterity modifier. The spell ends if the target dons armor or if you dismiss the spell as an action. | Sleep1st-level enchantment Casting Time: 1 action Range: 90 feet Components: V, S, M (a pinch of fine sand, rose petals, or a cricket) Duration: 1 minute This spell sends creatures into a magical slumber. Roll 5d8; the total is how many hit points of creatures this spell can affect. Creatures within 20 feet of a point you choose within range are affected in ascending order of their current hit points (ignoring unconscious creatures). Starting with the creature that has the lowest current hit points, each creature affected by this spell falls unconscious until the spell ends, the sleeper takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. Subtract each creature's hit points from the total before moving on to the creature with the next lowest hit points. A creature's hit points must be equal to or less than the remaining total for that creature to be affected. Undead and creatures immune to being charmed aren't affected by this spell. At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, roll an additional 2d8 for each slot level above 1st.

I'm with you on that point! I'm a commuter cyclist. Here's my ride: Fuji Absolute 1.9

I thought of Svirf Cylce, but that doesn't work either.

And it might be confused with the Smirf mobile.

Yeah, I figure we'll most likely use them out of combat because of that. Also, Copper is NOT going to ask why they're viscous or what they're made out of that makes them viscous. She's afraid it's somehow related to the lab we all first appeared in.

Seconded. I think we need one more vote to carry.

If we do that, we could have a paladin capable of healing, and each of the other PCs with a means of healing--in case the paladin goes down.
