Oh my. That's... complicated...

Where's she being held, and is the issue between us or the thieves guild, or are we going to have to figure out who gets to chop her up/collect the bounty/deliver her to the church? We have any indication that anything will specifically go wrong, or we just not think the thieves' guild is up to the task?

[RandomNumberGenerator]

We don't know where she is being held, the Thieves' Guild is keeping it a secret, for obvious reasons. We're not really opposed to the Guild at the moment, since no matter what we're do we are currently in no position to try and capture her, and the forest is still attacking everyone which would make going anywhere difficult at the moment. In addition to that, both Safia and I don't really want to abandon the villagers to their fates, so... yeah. Hanging around Thornvine for a bit longer.

We don't have any proof that the Thieves' Guild won't be able to handle her, but from a metagame perspective, how often does a super-evil force like that get taken down by a couple of NPCs? Though I suppose if they do succeed, then it's sort of a relief for us since we don't have to worry about her... though we might have to worry about Kelron, because that would mean he doesn't get paid.

...

Speaking of metagaming, does anyone remember were those character optimization links were posted? Now that we've actually leveled I need to look at them again...

In addition (not sure how long it was before you disconnected), a lot of us (myself, Inmontani, and the lizardmen priests) all got visions in our sleep - the forest is about to do a larger-scale attack. The problems with the forest are being caused by some great spirit, who'll have a physical form deep in the woods that could be destroyed.

It may not be possible to get that close as we are, though.

Spoiler: My Level-Up (click to show/hide)

I've already edited my changes onto my token.

Feat: Agile Form - when changing from humanoid to beast, shift 1.

Power: Verdant Bounty - creates a zone of heavily obscured squares that gives allies a bonus to stealth.

Purchases:

• 100gp: the level 2 Bloom ritual
• 10gp of alchemical reagents
• 40gp of rare herbs
• 8gp: lantern + 10pints oil
• 5gp: of trail rations (10 days, so 16 remaining I think)

[RandomNumberGenerator]

Yeah, that is what I was looking for.

Spoiler: Level Up (click to show/hide)

Feat: Armor of Bahamut
 - Immediate Interrupt whenever an opponent scores a critical hit. Turns Critical into a normal hit.

Not purchasing anything yet.

[Pillow_Killer]

Feat: Action surge

[Fortis]

Level up:

New Feat: Drow Fighting style
When holding a light blade in one hand and a crossbow in the other, you do not provoke opportunity attacks when making attacks using your hand crossbow.

New Utility power: Sneak in the Attack
You give your ally the advantage she needs to inflict a devastating attack.
Encounter * Martial
Minor action Melee1
Target: One creature.
Effect: Until the start of your next turn, the next ally who hits the target and has combat advantage against it and deals extra damage against it equal to your Sneak Attack damage.


I want to hold off on purchases until I get the advice of more experienced adventurers.

[Samthere]

My advice: unless there's some potion or alchemical item you particularly like the look of, save your money for magic items.
As a ritual caster, if I want to keep up with learning new rituals it costs me, and using those rituals costs, too.

[Virex]

Spoiler: Level up (click to show/hide)

Feats: Leather armour proficiency
Utility power: Blessing of Vengeance (gain temporary hit points equal to your healing surge value whenever your oath of enmity target drops below 0 hit points)

Also I'll buy a leather armour, 4 more sun rods to replace the ones expended thus far and 10 days worth of rations.

[IronyOwl]

How much money do we have? And what's the availability of magic items, for that matter? Everything we've found so far has been a trapped soul that acts like a magic weapon.

[Virex]

We got 200 gp for our troubles, in addition to the 20 gp we got earlier.

[Samthere]

Virex - is leather armour worth it for you? Your Armour of Faith class feature is superior, is it not?

[RandomNumberGenerator]

Virex - is leather armour worth it for you? Your Armour of Faith class feature is superior, is it not?

Armor of Faith only specifies that you can't wear heavy armor; I doubt leather qualifies as heavy armor. Then again it might, since there isn't armor categories in 4E.

[Virex]

Virex - is leather armour worth it for you? Your Armour of Faith class feature is superior, is it not?

I was under the impression that leather counted as light armour? If not, I'll switch it for improved armour of fate.

[IronyOwl]

4e has armor categories, they're just heavy and light.

[Samthere]

I had only checked on the compendium before; just now I checked in the book.

In the compendium, Armor of Faith specifies that while wearing cloth or no armour and not using a shield.
In the book, it just says no heavy armour and shield.

According to the errata, "This change reflects the feature’s design intent. Avengers are not supposed to gain the benefit of this feature while wearing leather or hide."

Whether you want to play with or without the errata is the DM's/group's/your choice. It's not like we're playing in RPGA or anything.




Regarding our plan of action, how long are people willing to stay in the forest before seeking out this Deola(?) person? I'd like to figure out if any kind of assault on the spirit's vessel would be feasible or if we'd have to return at later levels for that (and if so, find out if there's anything we could do to chill out the situation until later).
Also, if we capture her/kill her, who gets to take her body back out of Inmontani or Kelron? Maybe we could let Frost kill her and then split her in two. That way everyone's happy
