  1. I'm not sure what other curative effects we have available, but I'd like to offer my Lesser Restoration potion to Dargoth to help him regain some strength. He is *sapped*!

    1. The Lesser Restoration will work on Dargoth's STR loss but not the CON drain.

      It will take a Restoration to restore the CON and possibly for the negative levels that are affecting Thurstan and Clint. Right now they are temporary but if the follow-up save is not made they will become permanent. Restoration will work on those too but the material component cost goes from 100GP of diamond dust to 1000 GP.

    1. Where do you plan to go to rest?

      If inside the Necromancer's Spike please review the Map Explored to Date (http://pbbpathfindergame.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-sinister-spire-gm-turn-post-115.html?showComment=1366687132850#c8108405900094942974) and tell me where.

      If you plan to retire to Pedestal, I would also need to know where.

  4. Looking to hear from Matt H and Matt F. I am looking for the plan from the party. Where are you planning to hole up and rest?

    1. or do we need to go back to town ?

    2. Sounds fine to me. See how well they recover overnight and then decide if we're strong enough to continue or if we need to turn around and seek professional help.

    3. Are you talking about the room that is displayed B11:C13?

  6. I think even if we're heading to town it makes sense to rest here first, let the spellcasters recover their spells before risking the trip back weakened, and with no bullets in our guns.

  7. So long as we can rest and get back to town before the saves for the negative levels come up.

    1. Resting, assuming it is uninterrupted, and then traveling back to town will take at least 10 to 12 hours. That will allow about a half of a day before saves are required for Thurstan and Clint.

    2. Assuming you can find a caster, Restoration will cost 380 GP for each casting. It looks like you would need 3 total castings. One for Dargoth, one for Clint and one for Thurstan.

      If you cannot find a caster, you may be able to find a scroll. Those would cost 800 GP each and could be used by Thurstan with minimal risk.

  8. Rest don't care where. Refresh then head to town.

  9. Why not hole up in this room right here? We have a nice campy fire, floor space around the altar to rest up, and its pretty secluded in here... Or do our magic-wielding friends think there might be a danger in staying here? I am reluctant to head back to town though - keep in mind our one way entrance! Do we even know of another way out that we've discovered? (I might be forgetting something, it has been almost 2 years of this... lol)

    1. You only know of one way in or out at this time but you suspect that there may be more.

      The ring that you received from Es Sarch provides protection from the death field for a set amount of time per day. You have used a portion of that time on entering the Spike and with exploring the entry room.

      The room that you are in is a shrine to an evil god/demon/devil. No one could remember which one. (i.e. failed rolls) Though dedicated to the evil entity it does not appear to have been desecrated by an evil priest. (i.e. no magical auras present)

      Detect Magic reveals that the rods of each statue radiate a moderate aura of conjuration magic. There is a purple glow coming from the eyes of the skull atop each rod.

  10. So the plan right now is to rest in the Spike (location to be determined) and recover spells, etc. Once that is accomplished, head back to Pedestal and seek treatment before a day has passed and new saving throuws are required?

    Do you plan to do anything else while in town? Buy stuff? Sell stuff? ?
