looks like he had an M&M game that's also archived

I have sent a PM the other day but no response, seems like this game may be abandoned which is a shame it was just getting good.

Last visit on Wednesday the 25th, last post on Monday the 22nd.

still here, also doesn't show on my games , got no message about it being archived when was Jedaii last on the site?

I'm not sure what's going on...darlis, should one of us PM Jedaii and ask what's going on?

Why is this game showing as archived?

"Answer! Or face our wrath!" Kai says, barely containing his anger.

I'm here, but the game isn't showing up in my games list for some reason. I am, however, still listed as a player.

Have we lost everyone?

We hit a road block?

Hm. I'd say just looking it over shouldn't take your standard action for the round. According to the spell description, Charm works on creatures excluding undead, demons, devils and extraplanar beings 👍 Nope: they're buddies 😍

"Is this your doing Wise one or is it after you? there appears to be curiosity in his voice as he is unsure why a friend would do such a thing. He brings his bow ready though he was unsure it would be of any use if the thing was real.

I assume Rhys can not attack the old man at this time?

So wait, examining the hydra doesn't count as an action? There are several spells which might help here, such as Charm, Circle of Darkness, Conjure Smoke, Conjure Missiles, Levitation, and Tricks. A successful Charm might be enough to end this encounter entirely, Circle of Darkness and Conjure Smoke to obscure our location from the hydra, Tricks could slow it down, or Levitation could allow one or more party members to take the fight to the beast. Jedaii, would Charm work on something like a Hydra?

Still waiting on PC actions other than Ethraniel ...

The hydra doesn't appear to be illusory or he'd know. Mages automatically discern illusions IIRC.

On the one hand, Thalgack has already spotted an enchantment spell on the old man. On the other hand, enchantment also has conjured creatures and charm, so there are options other than illusion to pull a creature. If I say in character that it's an illusion, is that enough to count as 'strong suspicion'? And does my character's ability to detect illusions figure into that?

Right players can always make a Perception save to "disbelieve" but only if the PC has a strong suspicion that an illusion is present. Fits this scene 👍 Updating today or tomorrow.

...I feel like our party is in way over their heads, unless the 'hydra' is an illusion even if the hyrda is an illusion. It looks like we're dealing with a high level spellcaster here, but other than that I'm not certain what the old man's game is. He may be trying to make us flee without some or all of our possessions so that he can take them, or maybe he's trying to put use between him and the hydra. Oh crap, I just remembered that if fail the roll to disbelieve in this system, illusions can still hurt you. ...Ethraniel brought two dogs, but there are three on the map. Rolled for detect illusion, but badly. Thalgack isn't going to spot anything this time I think.

To say that Thalgack is surprised by the sudden appearance of a water-dragon was an understatement: he'd been examining the old man again when...said individual did SOMETHING and a monster appeared from the lake. After a moment, however, he becomes suspicious: was this a conjured monster, a living creature, or an illusion? He examined the approaching creature as best he could through the fog, hoping to make that determination quickly. OOC Rolling for Detect Illusion, hoping to see if the hydra is an illusion or not. Detect Illusion

Let me know if you can't see the map please.

The Cedar Forest, night Everyone: A large thick cloud of fog emerges from nowhere shrouding the adventurers from the menacing monster! The creature pauses seemingly confused then resumes its slow movement in the direction of the barking dogs! Map Most of the PCs can still see heat signatures of each other, the old man, the horses, dogs and the approaching monster! Kai cannot see beyond ten feet around him due to the fog. The monster seems to be following the sound of the barking dogs at the shore. Other than Ethraniel who's already acted, the other PCs can take actions now!

MW Image-sharing is glitching. Once they fix it I'll post a map.

I'll post a combat map today.

Ethraniel casts fog from the edge of their camp toward the creature
