General chatter

[Anastasia]

Right. This can be done offscreen and goes without incident.

[Anastasia]

Okay, re Forgar projects. What exactly do you want here? Go ahead and list it so I can work with it.

[Corwin]

A robot that operates a mill, a robot that helps with harvest, a guard robot. Probably in that order? It'd help to figure out our options.

[Ebiris]

Rather than a robot that works a mill, a mill that works itself would probably be cheaper and more efficient.

[Corwin]

Yes, and a harvesting robot would be better as a combine and not a humanoid. I was going for roles rather than appearance, so whichever is doable is fine with me.

Gildas has a few spells that may help out with this sort of thing, if Forgar would need any help.

Minor housekeeping things Gildas will want to do when there's enough downtime to do them:

http://dndtools.eu/spells/stormwrack--87/flowsight--3340/ -- Cast this spell at the healing spring and see where it takes him.

http://dndtools.eu/spells/players-handbook-v35--6/true-seeing--2520/ -- He would like to cast this spell on three things: The cursed Sword from the Circle, the green rocks below the spring, and with Myann present, if she agrees to it.

http://dndtools.eu/spells/players-handbook-v35--6/commune-with-nature--2480/ -- He will cast this and ask three things: Powerful unnatural creatures, any minerals that might be especially uncommon, and plants that are likewise uncommon to the area.

Gildas would also like to spend some time with the Fairy's Backpack to see if there's anything he can do to improve its functionality.

EDIT: ONE MORE THING! He wants to check on his Kobold tutor and see if he's discovered anything about Ardaman of Bluespire.

They probably will. More about this in a bit, since Forgar needs some windup time to get his shit in order.

It takes him down the path he's familiar with. Unfortunately, the 60ft area of effect means this doesn't cover anything interesting or new to him. It's worth noting that the waters of the spring glow brightly under flowsight, however.

http://dndtools.eu/spells/players-handbook-v35--6/true-seeing--2520/ -- He would like to cast this spell on three things: The cursed Sword from the Circle, the green rocks below the spring, and with Myann present, if she agrees to it.

Note that each casting takes 250 gold. However, as stated previously, Myann can defray the mushroom powder part of the price, bringing it down to 175 gold per casting. Is this okay with you, and if so, does it modify your plans? She's fine with letting you true see her (once she ascertained it wasn't anything like x-ray vision).

What time of the day/night do you cast this spell at?

Make a new spellcraft check on it with the +2 from Forgar's lab.

http://dndtools.eu/spells/dragons-of-faerun--26/revelation--1099/ -- I meant to link this spell, not true seeing, as Gildas can't cast True Seeing just yet.


He'll cast the spell at... let's say approximately mid-afternoon.

[19:22] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+16+2 Fairy's Backpack stuff
[19:22] * Hatbot --> "Nephrite rolls 1d20+16+2 Fairy's Backpack stuff and gets 33." [1d20=15]

Okay, deduct 150 gold in loot. That'll cover the expenses.

The cursed Sword from the Circle: Gildas can see that the blood comes from wounds in the blade itself. You don't have time to study them before spell's short duration expires.

The green rocks below the spring: Nothing new here.

Myann: Make a Will save. If you have any bonuses against fey, they apply to this save.

We'll cover the other stuff after the save.

[Nephrite]

[19:31] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+11 (+4 Resist Nature's Lure) (+2 if mind affecting)
[19:31] * Hatbot --> "Nephrite rolls 1d20+11 (+4 Resist Nature's Lure) (+2 if mind affecting) and gets 25." [1d20=14]

[Nephrite]

Somehow I put my Will down as 11 there, but it's 12. So it's 1 higher, if that matters.

MUSHROOMS.

Mushrooms everywhere. Tangles and bunches and fields and skies and worlds and people all full of mushrooms and they are mushrooms and the colors don't stop won't stop can't stop because they connect to everything and they're around him in him by him atop him next to him so much and and and and and and and and and and...

Gildas marshals his will to throw his vision into perspective. For a split second before the spell collapses in a burst of blue mushrooms, you can see Myann. Mushrooms cling to her head, constantly whispering into her ears. Mushrooms cling to those mushrooms, and mushrooms cling to those and on and on in an endless cycle as far as Gildas can see.

When the spell collapses, so does Gildas. His head screams in agony as a migraine presses into his skull. It's like John's staff is using his head as a drum. Gildas takes 2 points of Intelligence damage. Don't worry about marking it off, since you're in downtime I presume you can heal it or let it pass without incident.

On the plus side, you feel like you have a bit more of a grasp of that. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if you tried again.

[Nephrite]

Oh heck, what's one more shot into the mushroom world going to hurt but his sanity? He'll try again.
