Talk:Road to Kebnegard, Chapter Thirty

tcm: Done, and with no notes whatsoever.

also, at the end of the fifteenth, the party had a whole hit point to its name, and that hit point belonged to Ivan. We're thinking about calling ourselves the Ghosts Who Walk (an homage to the Phantom).

ET: I'll start correcting here - the party had several hit points but also several people at neg, and so the party total came out to 1 hp. Most of the injured people we were toting around were healed up to 1, remember?

--yeah, but it sounds cooler the way i wrote it.

Also, the whole idea about Polymorphing into one of the jotun and using Friends to convince them to clear out? 100% Nic. I have all the email and IM evidence to back that up. The only question was which of the giant forms Polymorph allowed and once Hal said we could take ogre and troll forms, we were golden. Rey came up with looking injured.

--that's funny, since there'd be no IMs or emails about this plan since we didn't come up with it 'till that morning when you asked about ogre forms. i admit it was mostly your plan, which is why you do most of the work (Friend spells, talking), but Rey still helped in the planning, and in coming up with solutions to problems as they popped up (it was Rey's idea to lie to the Jotens in the Killing Rooms that those above had decided to evacuate the mountain).

If you move the two paragraphs starting with "After Ivan's seventh retelling" down to after Nic removed the ladder, it'd be in chronological order. The party didn't fight the Umber Hulk until after Nic & Rey cleared out the killing rooms.

--except that the narrator doesn't get that part of the story until after the party reunites. he specifically says "While we were telling stories and fighting Umber Hulks, Reynaldo and Nicolae were talking to Jotens." the narrator uses the same device later when telling about Reynaldo's Mushroom Men adventure.

When Nic went to investigate the end of the crustacean corridor, he was in Wraithform and then took Ogre form to cast another Friend spell (the spell affects only those within the area when it's cast). This gave him the maximum possible charisma of 25 and when he yelled that we were casting, a hill giant actually turned and ran. That was awesome.

--done

Also, one of the giant skeletons in the Killing Rooms was not turned by Edward, and JC was fighting it. I think he lost a mirror image to a back attack when he disengaged to cross the Rainbow bridge.

--done

In the lava room, the fungus on the disks was phosphorescent, not purple. Also, same paragraph - you refer to Nic as a she when he warns the party of the fire men climbing up the chains.

--i remember them being purple (Hal?), but the 'she' is done.

---Hal: ET is correct.

---done

I think it's notable that we took harpy forms to ferry people across. Not a lot of flying forms allow us to carry people.

--done

When we got into the room where we saw the succubus, she was actually in the room with Cain and came into the other room to fight us. And she only said, "We've got company."

--done, except for some artistic liberty

Nic polymorphed into a woman, not a little girl. Also, I dunno if you're taking artistic liberty, but Nic never came out and asked for Cain. He was warning them to leave the mountain and was trying to convince them that we were there to make sure they escaped. Since we were stalling for time, admitting that we were there for Cain would almost certainly start the fighting again.

--done

And Anna didn't just decide to attack. The succubus who'd been fighting JC started attacking again and called for her sisters to join in the fight. That's when Anna went into Cain's room and picked him up. Also, if she cast Dispel Evil, I missed it. I'm fairly sure the succubi weren't attacking after she picked up Cain because they were afraid of hitting Cain.

--done, however Anna totally cast Dispel Evil. it gave her a -9 AC against the succubi which is why they didn't her once.

The lava monster who flew up as we approached the lava room was the same lava imp again, but no longer blinded. You might want to make sure you refer to it accurately.

--done

I think JC actually managed to grab a chain and swing himself and Nic onto a disc.

--they didn't make onto the disc. JC just hung on the chain, with Nic strapped to him. had he tried to climb down, he probably would have been forced to make more DEX checks and then fallen.

Also, you might want to call the "stone" the "red gem" instead. That's how you referred to it before.

--done, but Ivan can call it whatever he wants.

The ifrit outside the mountain also kept trying to find out what we had done. It's interesting that they had no idea why we went into the mountain. In fact, had it not been for our cover story to clear out the Killing Rooms, they might not've connected us to the volcano erupting early. Remember how ridiculous they thought it was that we could blow up the mountain at all?

--I don't remember that at all, could you elaborate?
