Welcome back Rufus!

I need to pick up my silver sword from the ground. Hopefully someone (or something) can distract the nightmares before I do. However, I dislocated my arm, so I should probably use one my two healing spells before I attack again (those damn dice rolls...).

Also, I pray to the Supreme Being asking for forgiveness for sending unclear action messages.

Siegfried the Human Paladin

(I'm trying to heal you and will help you fight them)

(Is there no achievement for being resurrected or or resurrecting someone? Or has someone else already claimed it?)

No achievement there, plus Squee had already been resurrected in the Northern tunnels anyway.

Hopefully that'll work and I can save my healing spells to give back the favor to another party member!

"I can dispel it, but please wait or check the other room for enemies, first.
We still have 3 Nightmares on the loose and a magically-sealed door is a safe door."

"Hold your spell, Tanea, only Dispel Ward can accomplish that".

( Careful, elsewhere a player returned to battle too soon and discovered he was too weak to fight.
Maybe Rufus would need some healing, first? )

"Unfortunately, clerics always kept those spells secret from us mages."
"I could try an elemental storm, but nobody else must be in range. And the efficacy isn't granted at all."

( IMO Siegfried should just cast Turn Undead again and grab his sword, or at worst retreat )

(I believe Gilius gave Rufus a healing potion and cast heal on him. So he should be ready for the fight.)

(Thank you. DM let me know that spell is useless so I changed my post to this: Tanea squeals in horror, shouts "No! Loradan, you are a mage, can't you do something about the ward?!")


(I'm waiting for Doc to answer some new questions I asked him. I have an idea about what I want to do -which involves the rats-, but I don't know if I can do that.)

( Ah, are you using scrolls for such spells? Then retreat ASAP!
It seems that Rufus already healed Gilius btw. )

Loradan was convinced by the group to save Ice Storm for other enemies.
He prayed that they managed alone to defeat those ghosts once and for all.

Hold your spell, Loradan, you said yourself the Clerics always held back those undead killing spells to mages. I don't think ice damage is going to do anything to those Nightmares except piss them off more. We need holy damage and silver weapons to kill these things. Which means our Paladins and Cleric are really our only hope of killing them for good.

(FYI, elemental damage seems to be at best mildly effective. Siegfried and I can really take them out quickly if we get decent rolls :))

Fish, my friend, there is a ward on that door for a reason. If no one can get in then that also means no one can come out of it. We should try the left door while the ward is still up on the right door. We'll clear the room and then try for what is inside the right door.

Roy has access to a Dispel Magic spell if that would work on the ward. Curious if there's anyway to decipher exactly what the ward is currently set to do? As BenKii mentioned, for all we know, it can be a ward set to keep something locked behind the door.,Whoever designed this dungeon might have a devious mind, and believe an adventurer would be curious enough to dispel it and go through, not knowing that one would think that he/she would think that knowing to... Ah, Inconceivable!

Fish the Half-Orc Berserker

That's a good point or there could be treasures inside. The seemingly safe left door might be the one hiding something monstrous. The magical ward might just be something to throw us off. Roy, I know you want to dispell it. Follow your orc heart.

(Actually, Dispel Magic doesn't remove magical wards. Loradan has the Dispel Ward spell so he is the only one that could remove the ward.)
