Topic: The Trilogy War
Subject: Never Simple.........
Ulthok had at first been delighted that the party had collected so much treasure. The rogue in him had never forgone the thrill of finding new items of wealth or magic. To discover the potential of those items had almost been as thrilling as the find. The old Ulthok would have lay claim out of want and greed but time had tempered him a bit and survival of the party now seemed most important. Though some of the items he chose were just for the fun of them, as the dice and fork, the others should provide him with tools of aid. The books had always concerned him, coming from a library in an evil castle, but the loot seemed to be a returning of plunder to its original intent to protect good. So when the conversation turned to a warning that items may well be cursed his heart fell.
"Aye.. you may well be correct that some of these are cursed or produced by evil for evil."
In all his trainings there had never been a way taught to detect a curse on an item. So the mage decided to not tryout his items now and perhaps invoke a taint that need not add to their troubles. He carefully wrapped and placed them in his pouch of holding to be further study another time.
When the party had finished those items not claimed were returned to the bag of holding, they could not be left behind for who knows use.
This done Ulthok made plans with Peri for their travels to come and leaving a light foot print on the past.

As a weapon master Cor may recognize the Fang and warn about.
It is up to the party if we think we should get these items checked as cursed. They can always go back in the bag. Once you say you put on, wear, use or otherwise take full owership then if it cursed then the curse falls on you.
So be precise in your posts.
Do we want these checked now that they are indentified?

DM rules on the sword, s'ok.
Will Roan keep the two +3 Khopesh?
I think Roan might be able to use the other anklet. It could be a good ranger thing.
The Fang of the Nosferatu dagger might be good for him too.
If noone claims the Ring of Beauty then Ulthok will carry it.
He has the lowest Charisma score of anyone in the party and he might be able to use it if he has to negotiate any thing.

After the mages had claimed their choices the remaining items were laid out for the party to choose. Ulthok again gave his warning to not open any of the books. Cor having been leader through many dangerous time was given first choice. The rest would choose and barter among themselves. Cor, Sirene and would help if a stalemate seems brewing.

Subject: As I See It.........
From my post the books are not opened yet. But Aliya now has two of them and Nimu has not said if she wishes Sirene to claim any. If nothing is posted I say they have remained closed.
Someone without magic tatoos would strip down, put on the robe of cancellation and then touch the three evil books set aside. The robe will be wrapped carefully and kept in the bag of holding to be used to destroy evil magic items we find or to dispel magic barriors. It would save on needed Dispell Magic spells to use on items found.

Topic: The Trilogy War
Subject: The Find..........
The three mages had huddled over the items they had claimed during the time in the floating castle. Spells of identification were cast over each and discussions of what was learned allowed them to reveal much of the items.
Ulthok found several that would be of aid to him and party as they would enhance his skills. Setting aside a jeweled Anklets of Walking, the set of Bone & Marble Dice of Wagering, the Wand of Animation, the Potion of Mage Wine, Pin of Vampiric Energy Drain and the Necklace of Superior Curing. Then with chuckle he added the Fork of Never-ending Food, "Hey, I'm a Halfling". Sirene and Aliya also set aside those items they felt would be of benefit to them. A benefit of being a mage is you get first choice of items you identify or get paid to identify them for others. The remaining items would be presented to the party so they might claim items of benefit. Only those things that were clearly evil would be set aside marked for destruction.
Among those were three of the Tomes of magic. Two books of the dead and one of insanity were a danger to continue to carry. The Robe of Cancellation now identified may be used to destroy the evil tomes. The Potion of Assassination should be guarded, it could useful if they can return to their own time and are confronted by another Shadow Wraith.
To Ulthok's mind any item not claimed by a party member or destroyed needs to be kept in the bag of holding. The remaining Tomes should remain closed until they clearly had time for study or to deal with what may surprisingly happen once the cover is opened. These along the other magic items are from another time and could cause much change here and chaos for the future. The Halfling place those unopened tomes back into the bag of holding. Aliya indicated she wished to carry the tame of plains an the golems tome. Reluctainly he handed them to but added a warning. "If you must carry these I recommend that you do not let your curiousity over come you to open these before there is plenty of safe time to react to what may occur. Once first open their magic starts."

Topic: Trilogy War Q/A
Subject: Barreel..............
I think we talked about Barreel's stuff. I didn't list it in the loot because we already knew his stuff. I'll check back on just what we said. The bigger discussion was about his armor and that it could rip the bag. I'm preety sure we wrapped the axe and saved it.
This sort of goes along with knpwledge a 11th level character should have but a player may not.
As with these Tomes of magic. It would part of the mage's training to be taught how to safely deal with discovered books of magic but as a player unless we have read a lot of D&D books, games, mags and such we lack that knowledge to use with our characters. So that said, I hope you all caught Tann's warning about the books. They may or may not be helpful. Remember we found them in a evil library or care need to be taken. Some have been safe books that were stolen and some may be evil made books for evil purposes. These are the places we need to ask a lot of questions to get more information and clues before acting. Tann won't always tell us everything but usually enough to make an informed decision.
The clue that some of the book may be in the EN Magic tells me that a mage could have learned of these books and I need to go try and find information before opening any of them.
See by asking we were given the clue where to gain knowledge before acting. Please keep that in mind as we find stuff.

Subject: Wow.........
That has to be the best loot list from this game yet.
Ulthok would like:
A jeweled Anklets of Walking when locked this anklet allows the wearer to walk upon any fluid ~Water, Oil, Acid, etc~ without actually touching it. One anklet can support 500pds 2 anklets can support 1000pds.) (If ulthok usually leader the way this would help him find safe ways to travel)
A set of Bone & Marble Dice of Wagering The dice will roll whatever result the roller desires. In the hands of a thief 8th lvl or higher can undo 1 action in a combat turn. Uses 1 charge for normal roll, 3 charges to change action. Has 21 charges, cannot be recharged.) (Who's the Thief?)
A wand crafted of bone: Wand of Animation (Ulthok likes Wands)
Potion of Mage Wine (This potion is only usable by spell casters allowing them to immediately remember up to 1d6 spells cast within the last 24 hrs) (This would let Ulthok have more spells and between him and Sirene that adds a lot of help)
Pin of Vampiric Energy Drain. On command pin will attempt to drain the life-force of any creature targeted killing them instantly and restoring the wearer to full health. Creatures that gain a saving throw do so at -3 to roll.)
A Necklace of Superior Curing.(more healers is good)
Fork of Never-ending Food (Hey, he's a Halfling)
Now the Tomes of Magic can be shared for now an kept in the bag of holding. They may have things we can use with some study.
For those that want rings, remember Tann only allows two rings in use at a time, one on each hand.
The gold can be used for expenses of the group and what's left over can be divided later if we survive.
Items not claimed should be distroyed or go back in the bag, I'm uneasy about leaving things from the future here in the past.

Topic: CWWLLO QnA
Subject: Thoughts...........................
Here is what I sent to Nimu as an idea of to do to help heal the Blackfire damage.
Here is a spell the will help after the wight attack.
Restoration (Reversible)
Level: 7 Sphere: Necromantic [Necromancy]
Range: Touch Components: V, S
Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 3 rds.
Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None
When this spell is cast, the life energy level of the recipient creature is raised by one. This reverses any previous life energy level drain of the creature by a force or monster. Thus, if a 10th-level character had been struck by a wight and drained to 9th level, the restoration spell would bring the character up to exactly the number of experience points necessary to restore him to 10th level once again, restoring additional Hit Dice (or hit points) and level functions accordingly. Restoration is effective only if the spell is cast within one day of the recipient's loss of life energy, per experience level of the priest casting it. A restoration spell restores the intelligence of a creature affected by a feeblemind spell. It also negates all forms of insanity. Casting this spell ages both the caster and the recipient by two years.
The reverse, energy drain, draws away one life energy level (see such undead as spectre, wight, and vampire, in the Monstrous Manual). The energy drain requires the victim to be touched. Casting this form of the spell does not age the caster.
Our cleric can help restore these:
Maximus: Seriously wounded and down four constitution points (11)
Finarsil: Seriously wounded and down three constitution points (10)
I think we have to do a cure disease to stop the black burning first.
Cure Disease (Reversible)
Level: 3 Sphere: Necromantic [Abjuration]
Range: Touch Components: V, S
Duration: Permanent Casting Time: 1 rd.
Area of Effect: 1 creature Saving Throw: None
This spell enables the caster to cure most diseases by placing his hand upon the diseased creature. The affliction rapidly disappears thereafter, making the cured creature whole and well in from one turn to 10 days, depending on the type of disease and the state of its advancement when the cure took place. (The DM must adjudicate these conditions.) The spell is also effective against parasitic monsters such as green slime, rot grubs, and others. When cast by a priest of at least 12th level, this spell cures lycanthropy if cast within three days of the infection. Note that the spell does not prevent reoccurrence of a disease if the recipient is again exposed.
The reverse of the cure disease spell is cause disease. To be effective, the priest must touch the intended victim, and the victim must fail a saving throw vs. spell. The severity of the disease is decided by the priest (debilitating or fatal). The exact details of the disease are decided by the DM, but the following are typical:
Debilitating: The disease takes effect in 1d6 turns, after which the creature loses 1 point of Strength per hour until his Strength is reduced to 2 or less, at which time the recipient is weak and virtually helpless. If a creature has no Strength rating, it loses 10% of its hit points per Strength loss, down to 10% of its original hit points. If the disease also affects hit points, use the more severe penalty. Recovery requires a period of 1d3 weeks.
Fatal: This wasting disease is effective immediately. Infected creatures receive no benefit from cure wound spells while the disease is in effect; wounds heal at only 10% of the natural rate. The disease proves fatal within 1d6 months and can be cured only by magical means. Each month the disease progresses, the creature loses 2 points of Charisma, permanently.
The inflicted disease can be cured by the cure disease spell. Lycanthropy cannot be caused.
Then try:
A cure serious wounds might also be needed to bring back their health.
We onlly have one choice for a move and that is to get over the pit and head down the side tunnel.
Other thoughts??

In the back are lists of items. These are the most common in 2.0 games. Then there are the Encyclopedia Magica Vol 1 - 4.
Those are harder to find free. I have a DM guide you can douwnload and possible the vol. 1 & 3 of EM.
I set up a Dropbox site and can send you a link, I have other 2.0 books there too.
Lothor is still getting use to magic so I'd say he wouldn't go nuts getting stuff. There my be better armor and weapons available.
Anyway I could email you the Dropbox link and you could go there and see what you might like to use.

Subject: Be Perpared.........
Ulthok slept well, it had seemed so long ago that he lay in bed, but really it had not. Their time in the castle had been constant moving and fighting but not days, just hours, long tiring hours. Peri nestled on pillow next to Halfling and soon they were both sleeping peacefully, Ulthok just a little loader. The pair rose early and Ulthok took a bit of time before breakfast to clean himself and his clothes. After the morning meal he returned to the barracks to find a quiet corner to study. For the rest of the day the mage poured over his spells finally picking a few and began the chore of memorizing the words of power. Ulthok and Peri nibbled the apples that were left in the room, it wasn't pie but it was still good.
Light in the room began to fade and it was dinner time by the time he had finished. The mage joined the others in the mess room for a evening meal. The children again gathered as he and Peri entered. This time he entertained them a bit with a few simple tricks and cantrips. A few disappearing coins, some magic lights. Peri would flutter around, batting her long eyelashes, giggling and then disappearing just to reappear to nuzzle a curly haired little boys ear. The children seemed to forget horrors of war for just a little while. He hoped they would remember kindly of the one called Littleman and someday show that kindness to the little folk and creatures in hills and forests.
When the children finally left he took his place with the others for the meal. "When we are finished here," he said to Sirene and Aliya,"we should go through the items we found in the castle,there may item useful to us,.a bit magic from them may save a spell for later."

"We will stick together, not divide the team. Too easy to get cut off from each other out there so stay sharp people." Captain Edintore said firmly. "We will go in behind the trucks, check them out to see if there is any clues as to what is what around here and then up the nearest stair to the doorway. Sarge, you take point, Rat and Star, Doc you are with me and McGuiness in the rear. Questions?"
Doc nodded an affirmative to the captain. Captain Edintore was a good man, he'd brought them through their assignments so far, but Doc didn't mind giving him a nudge toward a course of action. Doc also didn't mind sticking close to Star, she was strong, brave and smart. She didn't seem to let ego play into her actions, so Jack fell in as they checked the trucks.
The trucks were empty and they gave no real clues. Nothing much left to do but head up the stairs and into the temple.
The open doorway is illuminated from within by electric lights and he can hear the whirl and puttering of a generator. Doc could also hear something pounding within the temple. There were sounds of grunting and guttural moaning like from the undead before. "Great," Doc thought,"more dead to kill!"

The Shaman sees the Blackfire still consuming Max and Fin. Ody is unsure what will stop this life energy drain but he puts his faith in Mother Earth and calls upon her to grant him the healing power he needs to help his companions. Placing a hand on Max's shoulder the healer draws forth a cure disease spell in hopes it will end the drain of life. If this works the same can be done for Fin. Once the Blackfire is stopped other healing can be applied as they escape.
Ody was wondering if he might have to help the Dwarv leap the pit to escape down the side tunnel.
