Post from Z'leyra on actions... From: Alex Koponen Message-ID: <564D1EC8.2020304@mosquitonet.com> Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 15:58:48 -0900 Subject: [pnpgm] Z'leyra [Sorry about not posting as much as I should. As the time I am most likely to think of something to post is just after reading the update I have a quandary...as proofreader I get first sight of the updates and I have an unfair ability to post first. I have gotten flack for posting just after the update has come out. If I delay I forget what I might have posted.] [BTW for future reference Z'leyra will ALWAYS cast thru her staff if trying to overcome the MDV of someone resisting her spell.] Z'leyra would have wanted to use the necklace to learn the Goblin tongue. being able to understand them,and perhaps communicate with them without having to resort to communicate spells might be useful in the future. Z'leyra will examine the magical sword in her professional interest as a weaponsmith and enchanter but will not want to keep it and will readily assent to any party member keeping it if they ask for it. If none do it will eventually be sold in a city and the loot shared. Z'leyra asks Corona to scout about for any sign of a goblin camp. As far as Guard Duty goes. Using magic like Watchful Sleep is in some ways better and other ways worse than taking turns to be on Guard Duty. The advantages of being alert to basically everything within a decent radius and being able to instantly wake at the first sign of threat within that radius are balanced by the ability of those on Guard Duty to have armor on, to be cognizant of threats beyond a limited radius and the ability to feed the fire if we have one. One downside to being on Guard Duty is that those with low Survival skills in the terrain and low Empathy are likely to miss threats sneaking up until they are REALLY close. Z'leyra does not mind taking her turns at Guard Duty, but feels that we should always have at least one of those using magic to have the advantage for the party that the spells provide. She will be fine with whatever rotation allows this. Z'leyra pays the tolls for the party. She tells the party that only under extraordinary circumstances should any even consider putting even a toe off the road till we reach Zarun. We can leave now or later depending on how the party feels. She suggests now would work for her, but will abide a majority decision. As far as healing skill goes, Z'leyra considers herself a Master Healer and is more concerned with teaching the skill than in using it herself. She will readily teach or use the skills herself whenever needed. She is only journeyman level with the magical arts of healing and as someone with the most mana available will be ready to use healing spells whenever appropriate. But not knowing the mass healing spells she steps aside for those that do when those spells are needed. _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@list.powersandperils.org http://www.powersandperils.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnpgm
