Map Key:
Gray is the Oceanbridge. It protrudes 2 feet above the surface of the water. The surface is a bit slippery. A DC 2 acrobatics check is required to run or charge.
Blue borders represent blocks.
Lt. Blue is water. The water is approximately 5 feet deep near the Oceanbridge but quickly deepens further from the bridge.
Brown is cavern floor. To reach the cavern floor from the Oceanbridge it is a 10 foot climb up slipper cliffs. It is a DC20 climb check.
Can you put Dargoth's condition on the list or do we have to wait until he CONFUSEDly attacks Thurstan?
ReplyDeleteWhat do I need to do to figure out the effect on the aboleth? Spend a round detecting magic on it? Get closer? Dance the Watusi?
wait till the name-calling Elf attacks thurstan.
ReplyDeleteI will put Dargoth's condition on the list once he has taken his next action. That is when the effect will take place.
ReplyDeleteBanjo already tried to figure it out but failed his roll. He will likely get additional opportunities. Detect Magic might also help.

Wow, that was a set of rolls so bad I almost felt justified in pretending they didn't happen.
driftwood?
ReplyDeleteClint considers the very real possibility that the Big Slimy Thing is in fact not really what it seems... if its even there at all... In turn, he directs his next arrow at the Skum in J10
ReplyDelete5ft step to D9
Attack J10 Skum - [9] +8 +1 = 18
Damage: [5] +1 = 6
Disbelieve the Arboleth? Try to figure out whats really going on...

Clint is pretty sure that the aboleth that he sees is not a real creature. (He has successfully made his Will Save.) It moves like a real creature and does appear to have substance but it did not react to the damage Clint dealt like something that can feel should. It appears to be both real and unreal at the same time.
ReplyDeleteBanjo was not at first convinced. (He had failed his Will Save even with bonuses from Clint's expressed doubts.) He has now cast a Detect Magic and sees a strong aura (meaning a 7th to 9th level spell/effect ) of magic coming from the aboleth. He is able to discern the school as illusion. (This should all take 3 rounds but I will give it to you now. This will take you full action this round.) He now believes that Clint is correct.
Further, Banjo believes that the illusion is a shadow constructed of extra-dimensional energy, meaning it has substance and can deal physical damage. The illusion is likely a proxy, suggesting that there is a real aboleth or something worse somewhere nearby.
so based on what has been said by Clint and Banjo do the rest us us get a save?
ReplyDeleteI was about to post a similar question. Should Kirlic's actions assume he knows what those two figured out? If not, He would keep plugging away at the illusion.
ReplyDelete(would Detect Magic detect an invisible caster elsewhere? If so, let's make a good search for it while you can)
ReplyDeleteInteracting with it will automatically allow you a save. If you wish to disbelieve you will get a save (with a +4 bonus) for the cost of a standard action. Study of it with a spell like Detect Magic and a sufficient Spellcraft roll will reveal it as an illusion without a save or allow a save if the Spellcraft roll is failed.
ReplyDeleteEven if disbelieved, the illusion has a physical presence and can generate damage with its tentacles.
At the start of the round, only Clint knows it is not real. Clint has shouted a warning (allowing you to disbelieve with a +4 bonus). Banjo will figure it out on his action.
ReplyDeleteBased on Kirlic's rolls, he is not going to make a successfull attack (regardless of target) or a save this round. :(
Detect Magic would determine an aura of an invisible creature as long as it is in the area being examined.

Aboleth sounds like one of the Shadow Creation spells. Can I get a spellcraft roll to confirm?
ReplyDeleteYou need to see it cast and make a 15 + spell level roll to be sure. You do know it is an illusion, it is a shadow and that it is a 7th to 9th level spell. That should narrow it down some.
ReplyDelete7th to 9th!? What kinda dick would throw a monster at us that can cast 7th level sp--uh, nevermind.
