02:43   Nikkolai        • Too bad.

As for Nikk...he really just wants to get off this motherfuckin' plane. Perhaps chat with the Captain about the Abyss in general?

Helping Knight out

[Dracos]

Anyhow, Kam's goals short term for next session are:

A)Stop the boat, get Baylee to astral plane.
B)Get sword off of Mari's hand.  She can't fight with that and it's really not safe for her mental well being.
C)Keep an eye on Knight and make sure she doesn't do anything stupid while mourning (Like drink styx water or something)
D)Hope Someone is watching our ferryman just in case, even if he seems like a typical neutral statue type avatar "As long as you obey my rules, I don't cheat you".
E)Move on to our real destination.

Generally Kam's going to be focusing on Mari and staying away from the water.   Anyhow, that should do for next plans.

[Carthrat]

Knight will swiftly MAN UP over this tragic loss and concentrate entirely on how a new mount can be found. (and she'll offer to try and shatter the sword on Mari's arm, if it comes to that.)

[Anastasia]

So SEIBA will MAN UP and use her own SWORD to smite the SWORD of Mari?

Hm.

[Anastasia]

Miscellania: Mari's deafness would've lasted 1d4 days(rolled a 3 in DM channel), then it would've improved but her ears would be damaged. Without a cure deafness she'd suffer a -6 to listen checks until fixed, as well as a -3 to balance checks due to inner ear damage. The potion solved all those problems at once.

[Dracos]

Rat gets a thumbs up for preparedness!

So guys, might as well get it out of the way?   Any detection stuff we can throw at that sword to figure out more details on it?  I suspect detect evil will just politely say "Yes, the cannibalistic sword is evil." and thus isn't really good for the type of information we're looking for.

Detect magic will likely say hey its magical.  Cute.

I think identify is where it is at...but we kind of want a more advanced analysis here than we usually get out of identify.

I suppose we can always go the "SHATTER" route, I'm just rather worried about the shatter route taking Mari's hand with it or doing enough damage to it that a simple cure spell can't just fix it up.

[Anastasia]

Detect Evil shows the sword is evil. Stunning.

Detect magic shows magic. If whomever is doing it cares to they can roll spellcraft for school info.

[Sierra]

So SEIBA will MAN UP and use her own SWORD to smite the SWORD of Mari?

Hm.

I'm not sure I like what's being implied here. Whatever it is.

Anyway, yeah, exhaust whatever ways we have of gleaning information about it and if that doesn't work, shatter the thing. I can't even use this kind of weapon effectively in combat; it's only a hindrance physically and who knows when it'll start chewing at my brain again. I am going to see if shapeshifting might help dislodge it, but not optimistic there.

[Anastasia]

How are you going to be using shapeshifting exactly, Mari?

[Sierra]

Hoping if I jump to something somewhat different in size (gnome or halfling at least should be options) the sword will have to take a moment to adjust and I might be able to drop it. All I've got, really. As I said, not real optimistic but worth a shot.

[Anastasia]

Okay, we'll resolve that real quick. Describe the exact form you're going to shift into?

(An SRD link would be nice too if possible.)

[Sierra]

Mari concentrates for a moment to turn herself into something else. Something shorter, as small and compact as she can make her body be! Gnomes are small, right? Let's try that! Mari doesn't care about wasting effort on any superficial aspects right now, she just wants the shape of something leaner. When her arms shrink and the bone shifts, hopefully she'll have a moment to dislodge that sword while it tries to keep up!

[Anastasia]

Shrinking down, Mari's hand loosens! For a moment the sword is looser, as...

Make a dex check, Mari.

[Sierra]

<Mari> roll 1d20+6 c'mon Hatbot, c'mon!
* Hatbot --> "Mari rolls 1d20+6 c'mon Hatbot, c'mon! and gets 13."12 [1d20=7]
<Mari> Sigh.
