Level 2 Magic-User * Enchantment / Charm Components V,S Casting Time 2  Segments Range 10 ft +  2.5  / level:  27.5  ft Duration 1  round / level:  7  round(s) Area of Effect 1  Creature Saving Throw Vs Spells Negates Effects:  By means of a ray of enfeeblement, a magic-user weakens an opponent, reducing strength — and attacks which rely upon it — by 25% or more. For every level of experience beyond the third of the magic-user casting the spell, there is an additional 2% strength reduction, so that at 4th level, strength loss is 27%. Range and duration of the spell are also dependent upon the level of experience of the spell caster. For example, if a creature is struck by a ray of enfeeblement, it will lose the appropriate percentage of hit points of damage it scores on physical attacks (missiles, thrusting/cutting/ crushing weapons, biting, clawing, goring, kicking, constriction, etc.). Your referee will determine any other reductions appropriate to the affected creature. If the target creature makes its saving throw, the spell has no effect. This spell does not affect combat bonuses due to magical items, and those conferring increased Strength function normally.   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   SAVE VS.

Level 3 Magic-User * Evocation Components V,S,M Casting Time 3  Segments Range 100 ft +  10 ft/level:  170 ft Duration 1  round/level:  7  rounds Area of Effect Special Saving Throw Vs Spells Negates Damage:   2   7   6   5   5   6   7 Effects:  Tiny globes of fire are created, one for each caster level (to a maximum of 10). Any creature or flammable object that takes damage form at least one meteor, must abide by the rules of catching fire, except that the fire lasts only for  1  rounds. Each meteor can strike only one creature or object, but more than one can hit the same target. If hit by multiple meteors, the target needs to save only once, but the save DC increases by +2 for every successful hit after the first during the same round. The meteors are treated as ranged touch attacks, and those who miss their targets are treated as missing thrown splash weapons (Player's Handbook, pg 158) that land on a random adjacent square from the original target, dealing 1 point of fire damage to all within that square. The meteors can be fired with a swift action (allowing 1 meteor per round to be fired) or as a full round action ( allowing up to 5 meteors per round to be fired). In either case the caster uses his full base attack bonus to all meteors. The spell ends when all the fire spheres are gone, when the caster dismisses the spell or when the duration expires.

Not as much fun teasing Grax when you ain't here &nbsp; Jack J.: good night &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: So Do we want to take on the Wyvern sometime? &nbsp; Chris (Balen): Is there a REASON the temple is avoided &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): the bugbear just says we get a bad feeling about the place. &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: Ah ok Thats it go to the Temple &nbsp; Chris (Balen): So it's avoided by the guards, or by everyone (Yuan Ti also?) &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): You can go there but I would need to set up that up as the next module now actually. Just concentrate on dealing with the main city for now. some of you might know what it may be with it being an Aztec styled temple &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: Place of Sacrifice tomb for a dead king &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): the Bugbear says, We will escort folks, yes including and mainly the yuan-ti and the head of the city, to the temple but we have never been inside ourselves." Bugbear, says, oh, keep an eye out for the wyvern, they get hungry enough, you could be their next meal." &nbsp; Jack J.: theres more than one wyvern? &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): [It is after all a nest with a mated pair and several eggs are likely] Bugbear states it's mated pair that just happened to pick that spot for their nest &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: Ok so wait on checking out N8 so go to N9? &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): you can of course the bugbear says, "That Building is off limits even to us, I have no idea what is inside." &nbsp; Chris (Balen): Am I missing something? I don't see an N9 &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: All the more reason to go inside &nbsp; Chris (Balen): Thanks &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): Keep walking? move the token &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: Maybe try to get a good look at N8 go by it &nbsp; Bugbear #09 -T10: says, "OK if you insist but watch for the wyverns" (To GM)rolling d6( 5 ) = 5 &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): ok you reach the front of the pyramid but the creatures do not come swooping down &nbsp; Balen: Do the wyverns leave the guards and the Yuan Ti alone? Or are they likely to eat ANYONE? &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: Probably anyone &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): it looks like this picture:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fartofthegenre.com%2Fblogs%2Fnews%2F16338628-classic-d-d-module-back-cover-art-trivia-part-two&amp;psig=AOvVaw1Cll54R7-mB3bg14_7UFNi&amp;ust=1585621066183000&amp;source=images&amp;cd=vfe&amp;ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCMiv6faQwegCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD" rel="nofollow">https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fartofthegenre.com%2Fblogs%2Fnews%2F16338628-classic-d-d-module-back-cover-art-trivia-part-two&amp;psig=AOvVaw1Cll54R7-mB3bg14_7UFNi&amp;ust=1585621066183000&amp;source=images&amp;cd=vfe&amp;ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCMiv6faQwegCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD</a> bugbear says, i've not seen them pester the yuan-ti's at all but others yes. where to next? &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: "Thanks for the information, you may return to your barracks now" &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): oh the bugbear would have told you N1 is an off limits area. They don't know what is inside but they guard around outside the place you might want to at least keep them as you explore a bit more east as he tells you there is more to the noble's district &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: Ah ok sure &nbsp; Bugbear #09 -T10: ok, so lead the way Bugbear says it's just ruins here, though there are plans to rebuild yea there [I did say to the east] bugbear says "We are heading back to the temple district" ok Bugbear says T9 is &nbsp; Bugbear #09 -T10: another warehouse Bugbear says N3 is an Abomination Temple. &nbsp; Balen: So the Abominations worship separately from the REST of the Yuan Ti? Interesting &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): bugbear says, area N5 is off limits and N6 is like a zoo filled with reptiles. bugbear says, it's just more buildings in ruins bugear says "We are near the market district the tree folks live in the park are (G). Bugbear says he has shown you all of the nobles district now. &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: "Alright, Thank you very much, you may leave us now" &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): The bugbears leave the party. &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: So N5 N8 and N9 I believe and N# to kill more Yuan ti N3 &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): N8 needs to wait until after the city is completed any other locations you come upon that is a new module will take place after you visit N8 &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: N5 is Off limits N9 is off limts and N3 is a temple &nbsp; Dungeon Master (GM): N10 is a warehouse so was N1 is an off limits area i believe, T9 was the other warehouse &nbsp; Maevis Silverleaf: Alright so N1 and N10 raid those then N5 and N9
