So here is the post i wanted to react ... well lets do this now:
"... so no using the random boats that litter the shore then?"
As far as i know, every boat that is on the shore is damaged and taking water ...
Not exactly best means of transport. :-/
I also dare to presume that when they went to fishing they didnt take hammers, nails and paint with them to fix their boat, or use the other ones as a source of raw material.
The said fishermen also notice the tadpole and scream and run away
As far as i know (and i do, i just watched the scene few seconds ago
) they dont notice "the tadpole" ... they notice that they can "feel you" just the same way they felt that Mind Flayer just few seconds ago ... its logical to presume that Mind Flayers (and their tadpoles aswell) create some kind of psyonic field that resonates with others.
BTW
Duergars will recognize it exactly the same later on Grymforge.
(why the hell do they know about illithids, what they do, and the tadpole thing, to begin with? It's not like they crawl out of the underdark every tenday...).
They dont.
A gigantic nautiloid crashes but the Flaming Fists ignore it.
Concidering other events happening on the map ...
By the time gigantic Nautiloid crashed ... Flaming Fist was probably too busy saving their asses while they were attacked by Drow and Goblins.
I would not be surprised if they didnt even know about it.
Once again ... its not like it crashed litteraly 15minutes walking away ... concidering the map and distances, crashsite is probaby at least day, or maybe few days away from Waukeen's Rest.
The illithid decides not to slurp down the fishermen's brains but instead waits until the PC comes along (stop being a picky eater, illithid. You have 3HP left).
Illithid was too weak to force anyone get eaten ...
Wich was explicitly shown when your character gets "lured" ... you get multiple changes (at least one dont require even diceroll) to free youreself ... and only if you stubbornly keep pushing, then it uses the opourtunity and bites.
Astarion whines about not having seen his face in 200 years when (in my playthrough) he has a scroll of mirror image in his pack (and yes, it works on him).
Im not quite sure how this magic works ...
If caster (aka the person who gives them their look by projecting his own) dont remember his visage ... what would we see? And more interestingly, what would HE see?
Also, why would a rogue with an INT of 11 be able to read a book that is apparently difficult for my wizard? Etc.
Why wouldnt he? O_o
I mean last time i checked reading isnt skill that is reserved for most intelligent person in party ... nor skill that would require tremendous intelligence far beyond capabilities of meere mortals.
I mean i know he is reading about magic ...
But do we really know WHAT is he reading? O_o
As far as i know, even your Int 8 Fighter is "able to read" this book ... and the book will litteraly burn ability to Speak With Dead to his mind, even tho he dont even have spellcasting abilities.
