Get more weapons, something like a crossbow and bolts combined with a rope would be useful for infiltrating, and having more blades and whatnot is always useful. Go out and buy something like 4 more daggers, a really powerful crossbow with bolts (doesn't matter about the draw strength, we are a golem after all), a coil of strong rope, some kind of headwear if our cloak doesn't have a hood already, and a bastard sword.

I choose a bastard sword for a few good reasons: it's got good reach, it's stronger than our daggers, its short enough to be used in corridors and most tight spaces and it can be used with either one or two hands to give us options for using a shield or more powerful blows. Infact, we have four arms, so we could use both hands and a shield at the same time if we wanted to, but only if we don't mind standing out.

[Armok]

Hmm, what about something like the weak telekinesis I mentioned, possibly a bit stronger but still very weak, but with a ridiculously long range and maybe some basic touch-like sensing near the manipulated object? Manoeuvring a poisoned needle from the other side of town...

[EveryZig]

I guess I am just annoyed at how in ADnD most illusionist spells have something like a 25% chance of working on any enemy past level 6, when they don't automatically fail within 30 feet (like invisibility). Also back when it was just the sound effects you said it was underpowered >.>

Hmm... If we throw the rope beforehand can we use Rope Trick to swing around like Spiderman?
[Edit:]Ooh, can we cast it using a spiked chain?

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Dothki goes one one last time before dusk to purchase:

• A Strong coil of rope
• 4 more steel daggers
• a Bastard sword
• a Massive crossbow & [40]Bolts
• a grappling hook

This Gives Dothki more time to decide on which spell he wants to enhance the golem with.

[EveryZig]

A physical grappling hook does fill some of the same use, but if you can use Rope Trick as a grapple, it still has a significant advantage over mundane grapples in that it can find a purchase in absolutely any open enough space, regardless of terrain.
Also the actual intended use as a quick hiding place is pretty useful too.

I guess a spiked chain would be too overpowered even without using magic to turn us into an unholy Spiderman/Kratos hybrid, but Rope Trick swinging would still be useful with a normal rope (for moving fast or gathering momentum).

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

I put a vote up for Clarification on what you guys want. If it's not up there it's not an option.

[Armok]

I can't vote for some reason. And polls don't work well for forum games anyway because there's a bunch of people who will answer polls without actually reading what they are about.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Right I must of accidently locked voting when meant to hit view poll. sorry. Also I'd like to finish this enchanting business rather soon so I can get back to my crappy writing and I thought a poll might speed things up. Sorry to force the issue.

[EveryZig]

I feel like the poll does work alright for listing the options, though I have no way of knowing whether the people who vote are posters or lurkers or random people who wander in.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

I'm fine with lurkers voting as well as posters but if a random comes in I hope they Make an effort to read the goddamn archive before voting.
Any way I'll give this another hour or two the Make the post.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Well Arven, Are you as excited about this As I am?
Come on Dothki We're friends right hell we went out drinking Last week
That was then, this is now.
You're not really going to kill me are you, I mean c'mon we're buddies, Pals. We've been through to much for you to end it like this. You remember the thing with the barrel and the horse right? You can't kill me.
Yeah... heh I've actually been trying to foget that. But your right I can't kill you.
Yeah now just unstrap me and we can for-
But I can disembowel you and chain your still living soul to a spellform to empower my golem.
What? NO! YOU CA-GUrhEeRek

You have gained rope trick. You can use this 6 times a day.

Whilst on the street Dothki noticed an increased presence of guards prowling the streets, Looking for, presumably you. It would be bad if the temple knights got involved. Perhaps you should prepare to flee the city or take to ground just in case?

Have Dothki order us to to strew the dismembered parts of the smaller thieves on the OTHER side of the city. Then invest a lakeside cabin.

EDIT: Lakeside cabin OF EVIL

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

You mean A lakeside cabin Out of the city in the country somewhere right? The city has a River but no lake. I suppose we could have a riverside house, but it lacks the whole "bandcamp murder" vibe, it's got more of a "Dockside slum" thing going for it.

[Elvisdogs]

In the country would be nice. Or we could go Oblivion style and hide in a cave in the woods... AN EVIL CAVE (Preferably protected by zombie bears)

[Zako]

Don't forget to update our inventory. And I support moving to the river, maybe something with a hidden basement under some docks? Also, spreading the body parts over the other side of the city for a distraction would be handy.
