I don't want to drive the schedule, but I won't be available to play next Wednesday night if we go that route. Tuesday is a better fit for me for next week.

Matt
By all means drive away. Since you are the only one that chimmed in so far Matt, we will keep it on Tuesday for now. If nobody else posts, it will be Tuesday.
Just a reminder that we are gaming tomorrow night @ 8 EST.
FYI, Brad will not be playing due to illness. Get well soon little brother. Thinking of you....
Guys I have some unexpected company at the house right now. I hope I can jump on later. I will try to get on at 8 and start the server. Let you know then when or if I can play tonight. I will try my best.

Marc
No problem.
With Marc questionable, Brad is out and so is Josh, we may not be able to go ahead with the game. I have no idea about Slimy and assume Matt will be there.
I'll keep Skype up for the next couple of hours, see what happens.
After a couple of requests, we will keep the game on Tuesday til its conclusion. Never had a chance to get the XP done, been under the weather. Talk to you all tomorrow night.

The journal show a real devotion to Ochremeshk and gives a distorted view of the history of the Fane. (It would take an hour to read, but going to the end of the journal gives the following relevant bits if information):
"If we hadn't become trapped here, we would have left! We were all ready to flee back to the dark planes when the horrible golden rain fell, sealing us in. Now the time has come for our revenge. Now we have a chance to rebuild the Fane.
If we had left back then, we would never had returned. Now history is to be rewritten."
Manual worth 10,000 gp
Arcane Lore Books: (TOTAL = 2156 gp)
1. The Common Areas of Habitation of The Dragon (104 pages, 10 gp)

2. Trolls' Sleeping Patterns (303 pages, 108 gp)
* This book is not very clear because of a meandering writing style. With effort, one will be able to understand the book, and will find it is extremely informative. One will also find that the contents contain some original thought. Game effect: +1 attack vs Trolls
3. Vrocks' Digestive System: An Overview (106 pages, 272 gp)
* This book is very clear. A short look at the book will show that it has a lot useful information. Unfortunately, that the majority contents were obviously taken from a few other works Game effect: +1 saves vs Vrocks spell like abilities.
4. Current Studies of The Dietary Habits of Nalfeshnee (316 pages, 10 gp)
* This book is quite clear. A short look at the book will show that it has little useful information. Making the book virtually useless, it appears that the contents are not very original.
5. The Circulatory System of The Hezrou (266 pages, 10 gp)
* This book is all but impossible to understand because of having an author that was apparently lacking familiarity with any form of writing. A talented person may be able to derive some understanding from the book and find it has little useful information. One may be deterred from reading it, but it is evident that the contents have moments of intriguing originality.
6. A Dragon's Living Habits: With Illustrations (272 pages, 10 gp)
* This book is clear. Perusing it will show that it is reasonably useful. Perusing the book reveals that the concepts in the book do show a lot of original thought.
7. Dissimilarities in the Courtship Rituals of the Sea Serpent and the Troll (66 pages, 10 gp)
* This book is muddled beyond belief thanks to terrible diagrams. A talented person may be able to derive some understanding from the book and find it has no useful information. One may be deterred from reading it, but it is evident that the contents have a few areas of deep insight.
8. Muscular System of the Hydra and the Giant: Differences (171 pages, 10 gp)
* This book is very easy to understand because of extensive references. This clarity allows one to determine that it has no useful information. The reader can take some comfort in the fact that the ideas within make you see things differently.
9. A Glabrezu's Skeletal System: A New Study (72 pages, 384 gp)
* This book is clear due to the good diagrams that compensate for a meandering writing style. Reading it will show that it is extremely informative. Despite its good traits, the contents are not very original. Game Effect: +2 attack / +3 damage vs Glabrezu
10. A Cambion's Social Organization: An Examination (345 pages, 400 gp)
* This book is reasonably easy to understand. Sitting down with it will reveal it is reasonably useful. After some reading, it is apparent that the contents contain some original thought. Game Effect: +1 saves vs Spell=like abilities
11. The Courtship Rituals of The Succubus: New Theories (357 pages, 130 gp)
* This book is very easy to understand because of extensive references. It doesnt take much effort to determine that it has a lot useful information. Game Effect: +3 save vs Succubus Energht Drain kiss
12. The Skeletal System of The Basilisk (303 pages, 270 gp)
* This book is very easy to understand due to extensive references. This clarity allows one to determine that it has a lot useful information. One will also find that the contents provide an occasional insight or new idea. Game Effect: +2 save vs Petrifying Gaze
13. The Latest Research Into The Bodily Humors of Dretchs' (321 pages, 218 gp)
* This book is hard to understand. After some effort to read the book, one can find it has a lot useful information. Despite its good traits, the contents are original. Game Effect: Ingores Dretch Damage Reduction
14. The Social Organization of The Bebilith (54 pages 10 gp)
* This book is all but impossible to understand due to it having no kind of organization at all. A talented person may be able to derive some understanding from the book and find it has a lot useful information. Despite its good traits, the contents were probably taken from several works.
15. Dragons' Excretory System (346 pages, 10 gp)
* This book is very easy to understand because of wonderful organization. It's easy to determine that it has no useful information. The suffering reader will discover, with time, that the contents are not very original.
16. Unexpected Similarities in the Integument of the Quasit and the Dretch (170 pages, 284 gp)
* This book is reasonably clear. Reading it will show that it is extremely informative. One will also find that the concepts in the book do show a lot of original thought. Game Effect: Clear detail of how to create antitoxin to poisons (Type I-III)
17. The Child-Rearing Habits of The Tanar'ri (198 pages, 10 gp)
* This book is muddled beyond belief because of there being no coherent organization whatsoever. If one miraculously managed to understand the book's contents, that person will find it has little useful information. The reader can take some comfort in the fact that the ideas within are very original.
The PC post is all up to date now (at the beginning of the thread). Game Session 70 will take place this coming Tuesday with the painted eye on the floor. At the end of last session, a ray came from the eye, dispelling the Wall of Force floor, tumbling you to the bottom level. Should be a good one and equally deadly to the vampire me thinks....
Just a note: The two NPC's Lubok and Quamara have been receiving 1/2 the xp that you all get when they take part. This is only done when the fighters are not playing (Treston/Bull) or cleric (Bart). Also, when I changed over to the new xp tables that we are now using, I didn't fix Lubok. He has the XP for Level 12, not 10 as was the case. This has been reflected in the PC post as well as his macros in maptool.
Disappointing.... I don't expect to make tonight's game. I'm working an evening shift with my part-time job and I just got word we'll be working past 10pm EST. If somehow we wrap-up early, I'll jump on.
In the off chance the group reaches the 3rd sacrament, feel free to assume Bart participates if he's the only one that qualifies (since he took the first 2). For the glory of Mystra and Lady Alustriel!
LordSeurek wrote:We lost out power last night and its just came back on now so the game will go ahead as scheduled.
Josh and Matt are out.
Hopefully Brad, Marc and Don will join Quamara to face the Painted Eye!
L.S.
Power went again for a few minutes. Back again now. Will play it by ear here. If it goes again I'll postpone til next week. If I don't log onto Skype by at the latest 9 EST, assume I am sitting here in the dark. With my 2 year old and no wood stove, we may have to crash at another teachers place. hopefully it stays on now.
Just got home from Cleveland. I was able to get online with a notebook but it wasn't mine, and Skype wasn't installed. I hope the game went well, wish I was there for it.

We are in the middle of a combat. They guys could use your fighter next week
After the painted eye on the bottom of the multileveled room dispelled the wall of force floor, sending everyone down to the floor (end of session 69), a prysmal eye appeared. Things got sticky...
1. Nazir flew invisible out of harms way
2. Ethrinn was teleported to the bottom of the fire pit in Area 15, but was able to return to the group 2 rounds after travelling the ethereal.
3. Quamara was polymorphed into a shield dwarf, but was able to revert via a scroll some time after.
4. Bull was suffering from a confusion spell and didn't know friend from foe.
Luck was with the party on round 3. A failed wild magic check by the eye and all secret doors magically sealed flew open, dropping the throne at the rooms ceiling level as well as the double doors on the bottom level. Nazir flies both Bull and Quamara out of there, back into the area where the vampire was defeated. Ethrinn arrives and after Quamara returns to her human form, and Bull shakes off the confusion, the group decides to head back up to the Hall of Paintings room (Area 10) and westward, exploring the western portion that has not been traveled, knowing that the group still needs to locate the 3rd and final pentagram and sacrament.
Towards the end of the session, Nazir is investigating one of the 10 paintings, and triggered an effect in the room, alerting over 20 Weights and a Succubus named Distania. This is where we left off, mid combat.
As for xp for session 70, no enemies were defeated, so just 500 for role playing (250 for Quamara)
Marc, Nazir makes Marksman 11, make the usual changes. ECL is still 14.
See people on Tuesday. We are are getting close to the end. 3-4 more sessions me thinks...
I have to fly Tuesday night for a Wednesday morning meeting. It's unlikely I'll be around to play, but if I end up with free time I'll jump on from my hotel room.
Wednesday is no better for me because I fly home that evening.

Role Playing / Loot XP = 608 each
XP Per Player = 3047 and 1828 for Quamara
L.S.
Matt. Bart took part in the 3rd and final sacrament (along with Bull). I'll send you a PM about the result of that action.
As well, the party had Bull held up behind a Wall of Stone to buy them time for Quamara to pray and cast Atonement. This effectively changed his allignment back from Chaotic Evil to Chaotic Neutral.
Unfortunately, Quamara sacrificed her spell casting for 1 week for Lathander to grant her that power. (as per the book). The group needs to decide if they want to wait the time before moving on or push on without the divine help. (Moot point if Bart is there).
Matt, the party meet Gaylord, a ghost trapped in room 17, who Quamara's turn was able to send him to Lathander's domain after their parlay. This is the info the party got from him:
•“The Umbral Taint is a demonic virus composed of the spirits of demons that once lived here. To end its threat, destroy the Fane’s Heart.”
•“The Fane’s Heart is the demons’ ‘holy of holies,’ where only priests were allowed to go. It is the center of the Fane’s power.”
•“To get to the Fane’s Heart, at least one of you must partake of all three sacraments in the Nightmare Chamber, accessed from three pentagrams found about the Fane. Then, that person can activate the magical transporter that takes people
to the Fane’s Heart.”
•“Lytaros Fel, a half-demon embermage, now commands the Demon God’s Fane. He took that position after he slew the high priestess, Sussinst-ir (who had become a lich). The original master of the place, Charmachnar the balor, died in
the battle of the Fane long ago.”
•“Lytaros Fel is attempting to use the power in the Fane’s Heart to make it so that the Temple never fell and was never submerged in the lake. If he succeeds, more than 700 years of misery, destruction, and death will be suddenly thrust into the present time, and the whole surrounding area will be (and will have been) a veritable hell on earth.”
•“They took my holy sword and hid it away. I don’t know where.”
•"Beware Ungalish in the Cultist room: When the Demon God’s Fane was in full operation, the perverted rites of Ochremeshk demanded greater and greater numbers of living, intelligent beings as sacrifices.The Bloodhunters were cultists in charge of hunting and capturing victims and bringing them back to the Fane.Their leader was a bloodthirsty human maniac named Ungalish.When the Fane was sealed, Ungalish called out to Ochremeshk, pleading that he not be trapped in the Fane alive. Thus, he was struck dead. Ungalish rose from the dead as a vampire, however, fueled by anger and bloodlust. His anger was directed at the Demon God, who did not truly save him, and yet he remained trapped within a temple dedicated to him for centuries. His lust and hunger for blood went forever unsatisfied, for he had no victims to feed upon. Thus, Ungalish went insane. Now all the inhabitants of the Fane avoid him. They would destroy him if they could, but no one knows where he flees to rejuvenate when he becomes mist."
Figured I should post a copy of Quamara since she is used so much. I took away all the items/spells from other sources and went with the core c&c books instead. (Kept the domains though). Here she is.
She does have her spell casting cut off for 7 days, but can still heal with her Staff of Resurrection as it has the divine magic imbued in the item. Her connection with Lathander and the magic he grants her is whats dormant right now.

Great game guys. Easily bypassing the Retrievers and Prysmal Eye helped the progress. I'll post the XP for the encounter and a full summary of what you found in the Embermage's chambers along with what detect magic picks up in terms of strength of magic and applicable school of magic.
There are still some items you need to investigate, or leave behind, up to you.
Only the Fane's Heart left to explore. This game will probably be finished next game session so Josh, hopefully you can make it.
We are set for next Tuesday. If Marc is travelling and unable to play/host maptool, we will postpone the game session until the following Tuesday. Once I get word form Marc next week, I'll post here and on FB.
Looking forward to you finally acquiring the 4th and final kiira stone and completing the campaign that has gone 70+ sessions!
