Ahead and down. My apologies; I was really tired when I posted last night.

Note: you're still in marching order, which means Archimedes and the skeleton are by the eggs and Malagos and Orr are closer to the beginning of the side-tunnel.

Would an immediate action +3 to saving throws have prevented that? Still got an unused water token. Using it here means I can't try to nauseate it if it works, but I'd be okay with just sickening it no save if this does work. Also, going behind Archimedes and closing eyes instead of into the ceiling if not petrified after entangling trip and sicken

<checks roll> Yeah, +3 would do it. This time. Is that what you want to do?

Whew. In my defense I was for some reason under the impression it was really really far away, but hey, at least it worked.

Archimedes fails his strength check. He cannot shift the body on his own.

Malagos is still unconscious, but can give a sign of approval or disapproval for augmentation vs. simple healing.

Sorry, work and uni deadlines are kinda draining my enthusiasm (Christmas isn't much of a thing around here). I should be able to start posting regularly from at most after the first week of January.

Does Malagos want to do anything before y'all set off on the next leg of your journey?

Does Archimedes require sleep?

He *can* still sleep, whether or not he requires it is something you have yet to determine.

Still dealing with some stuff at university, but I wanted to pop in to say this.

Anyone within 10 feet of Orr gets immunity to some forms of mind control.
the barrier blocks any attempt to possess the warded creature (by a magic jar attack, for example) or to exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject, such as dominate person). The protection does not prevent such effects from targeting the protected creature, but it suppresses the effect for the duration of the protection from evil effect. If the protection from evil effect ends before the effect granting mental control does, the would-be controller would then be able to mentally command the controlled creature. Likewise, the barrier keeps out a possessing life force but does not expel one if it is in place before the spell is cast. This second effect works regardless of alignment.

OOC it's obviously a bad idea to do this but it's totally in character for the sexually frustrated 47 flavor hybrid Archimedes to be a horny bull right now. But he's cautious and dutiful enough that I think he'd give a half-assed warning to the rest of the party.

ed: Also I apologize for not being on much. Things have been rough for me the past week or so.

Can Archimedes tell if the weakness he feels comes solely from sleeping with the Sea Cow, or if lack of rest had anything to do with it (i.e. does he think that he still requires sleep?)

Archimedes has one negative level at the moment.

Two questions:

1. Can Archimedes fly up in the sea-paths, or is it too narrow to do so?
2. Do the others know that Malagos is using his witchsight?

Most of the paths are too narrow for Archimedes' wingspan. And no, not unless he tells them.

Does the tentacled creature holding Drowning-Squid notice Archimedes (or rather, would Archimedes have reason to think it does?)

Does Malogos know if Elemental Siphon abilities can be reflected by them (they're supernatural, not spell-like)? Also, does he know if Orr's magic circle thing protects against these hypnotizing abilities?
Summer Caress: "....This ability functions much like a magic circle against evil,..."
protection from evil: "...Second, the barrier blocks any attempt to possess the warded creature (by a magic jar attack, for example) or to exercise mental control over the creature (including enchantment (charm) effects and enchantment (compulsion) effects that grant the caster ongoing control over the subject, such as dominate person).

Malagos does not know. Guess you'll have to find out!
