I did remember I was here. Just kinda intimidated by the walls of text

super long day, post tomorrow

Well, I know what Tainya is going to do. Continue to trance in her room until she's fully recharged again~

To be fair I'm a little unsure in how to proceed. If we follow Tainya's example we might keep ourselves and our bosses safe, but the murders will continue among the staff members. Also, Kuro can't trance, he actually needs to sleep.

>>4229
I'm not advocating everyone follow Tainya's example. Tainya's doing it because she doesn't like to face a situation unprepared, and she can fully rest in four hours.

hi

>>4242
hi


So what are we waiting for exactly ?

>>4244
Somebody to get Tainya and Parthia.

>>4245
Isn't that what I'm doing, along with whoever's tagging along ?

>>4246
Well you'd have to post something.

Okay, here's the deal : You have until tomorrow morning to do whatever before everybody moves on to the dining car.

After that, you have 24 hours to do whatever before the plot goes forward again.

After that, you have another 24 hours before it advances yet again.

If you want to say/do something but can't do it within that time frame, arrangements can be made, but I'd like to get things moving again.

There's gonna be important revelations found here come tomorrow.

>>4263
There's some stuff I'm suspicious of, but Tainya hasn't seen most of it in person, so it'd be metagaming to use that knowledge to my advantage~

>miri was with mari all of the time
then who was phone?

>>4269
>who
>not what

Don't mind me, just maintaining the closed circle.

Ok then, let's sleep. If we are alive when we wake up we kill everyone else but Lance, and then Lance too once we arrive to our destination.

>>4279
Brilliant. Unless, you know, it's none of them.

Just an FYI, if somebody hasn't made a decision by tomorrow as to which group they go with, then I'll be picking the groups myself.

Does the train not have interior lighting of some sort?

>>4292
It does, but you have to flip the light switch.

>>4293
Shouldn't it be powered by the same air elemental that's powering the whole train~?

>>4294
Lightning elemental powers things that need electricity. Air elemental provides propulsion through the engine or the caboose. It's an older model, so it functions a bit differently from modern Eberron trains.

are we even still on the same room

>>4301
Since Rotho didn't say we went to different rooms I assume it to be the case~

Could have sworn the disguise skill had a limited duration. Maybe it was just the hair dye.

>>4307
The hair of fairy hues lasts until the hair is washed in a still pond beneath the light of the moon, or until the hair grows out~

Are the others still around? A post from Sophie and Melech would be good.

Ultimatum : Regardless of whether or not Sophie or Melech post, I'm throwing you guys into combat tomorrow.

For anybody having trouble picturing Bewildering Chakram, imagine it's one of the Stakes bounding off walls and you'll have a pretty good idea of what happened.

I'm delaying my turn after Kuro's

we really need to move on soon.

You can still ask questions here so I'll see them later. Just gonna throw that out there.

Okay, so in case people didn't know, you're allowed to retrain one power or feat during an extended rest. Assuming you're going to rest during the trip to the next town, post what it is you want to retrain in this thread.

Ok, we got two enemies and two defenders, each defender should only mark one of them, I suggest Melech marking the bear and Narerka marking GILGAMESH.
GILGAMESH is a solo skirmisher (meaning very tough enemy who likes to move around) and the bear is an elite soldier (meaning tough enemy with high defenses). They probably should have some ways to support each other so we should be careful. Anyway, my suggestion is to focus fire on the bear as it can be killed first, solos have a lot of hp.

Considering which dailies can be used here I'm looking at Narerka's Dimensional Thunder and Melech's Shackles of justice. Sophie's Phantom Chasm can be useful to keep GILGAMESH in place if we abuse some push/sliding. And Kuro could also Bastion of Defense or Stand the Fallen if needed.

Is this GILGAMESH identical to the one I saw, Saku?

>>4387
Considering I made a few tweaks that both buffed and nerfed it just before the fight started, probably not.

Strategy discussion:
Sophie uses Phantom Chasm spending her staff power too to create an area burst 2. Phantom Chasm only affect enemies and we can try to use it to push abuse later and to make it much harder for Gil to walk forward.

Yes? No? Suggestions?

Just so everybody knows, you can make a DC 10 heal check to grant somebody a use of their second wind.

So, you guys have a while until the next combat encounter is scheduled to happen, so rather than milling around, you can investigate the crime scene proper this time around (nobody made a heal check). Sophie also has that strand of hair that she found, which requires a nature check to examine. Gilgamesh hasn't gotten in contact with the Lord of Blades either, so if you want him to try and call off the attacks, you have to tell him.

Or you can hang around and get on your charge's route ask questions.

Or do nothing. Either way the plot advances in about a week.

>>4483
Also, here's what your loot looks like.

As for Genji Armor, here's a description until I add it to the homebrew thread proper:

Genji Drakescale Armor
Level 10 (5,000 gp)
This golden armor is surprisingly tough, and increases your force of personality.
Enhancement: +2 AC
Rarity: Rare
Property: When a power or class feature calls upon your Charisma modifier to determine a value other than your attack bonus, add 1 to that value. This does not change your Charisma modifier for any other purpose.

Alright, since you guys seem paralyzed over this right now, here's a chart detailing some stuff about loot costs.

Upgrades:
Golden Crown of the Battle Command (level 14: 21,000 - 840 = 20,160)
Healer's brooch +3 (level 14: 21,000 - 4,200 = 16,800)
Skylord Spear +3 (no upgrade needed)
Gloves of the healer (level 12: 13,000 - 5,000 = 8,000)
Ring of Fury (level 14: 21,000)
General's belt (level 13: 25,000)
Genji armor +3 (25,000 - 5,000 = 20,000)
Silt striders (13,000 - 2,600 = 10,400)

I need 125,360gp for my upgrades, also considering I'm taking Genji Armor and Skylord spear that sum together another 14,000gp.

For people who don't specify any upgrades or equipment changes, I'm going to assume you upgrade whatever you have equipped to a higher level version if one is available and level 15 or lower. So if there's a specific thing you want (like Elven Chain Armor) you need to say so by Monday night!

For Sophie:

Boots of eagerness level 9 (4,200 - 520 = 3,680)
Illusionist gloves level 9 (4,200 - 1,000 = 3,200)
Laurel circlet level 10 (5,000 - 2,600 = 2,400)
Eladrin ring of passage (21,000)
Cincture of the Githzerai (5,000 - 3,400 = 1,600)
Elven chain armor (4,200)
War Mage staff +3 (17,000 - 3,400 = 16,800)
Flowform armor +3 (21,000 - 4,200 = 16,800)
Periapt of cascading health +3 (25,000 - 5,000 = 20,000)

I think it is 89,680 total

And we're done!

Sorry about dragging things out. Did everyone have fun?

>>4618
I'm rather pleased with adventures.

>>4619
<Good>!

Boop. I was too nervous about the whole thing most of the time, and being late to post 912034 time didn't help, though I was starting to feel more comfortable towards the end!!

I really like your writing, rotho. The NPCs were fun, especially Gil.
