Savage Tide: ECL 6 Aconitum Bane: Abyssal Warcaster 6:entry 2

So after some reflection I hated the idea of allowing another to use my body, so my hatred grew and furthered my path with Abyssal hated!
So because the new master of the ship got us stranded on the island,  all of our stuff was lost in the shipwreck!  I had to work together with the group to search up and down the coast for my gear.  I found it eventually.  Thankfully right before trouble came looking for us.  A dang T- rex came out of the thre line, only to become petrified with me in its jaws.  It was a quick fight,  almost too quick.  And it felt like no time at all a flock of damn birds,  ohhh how much i hate birds,  came looking for another meal.  I burned 3 of them alive in my hated while the tripp'n fighter kept the other one busy. The druid, being the bag of meat he is, was nearly pecked to death by two birds lol.
Another thing that I figured wouldn't even happen, and apparently good things come to bad people, part of the crew "jumped ship" and started following me. Zaal is actually someone of talent that can aid me. Even though he isn't much of a fighter, he has spells that can enhance my hatred.
Well after a day hike we encountered an old witch covered with spider webs and spiders of all different sizes... I hated it in there. I ensured I had my fire shield up to burn away any stupid spider webs in my face.... I hate spider webs. All I know is the drid was speaking with the old witch in some language then we went on by her without havi g to spill some blood... don't care we were getting farther away from the spiders... did I mention how I hated spiders.
Another day hike and the druid is at it again but this time with a flock of birds. Somehow he managed to get the birds to let us by into the cave pass that the old witch directed us to. After that we went I to the cave in a tight formation.... I kept getting this feeling that we were being watched....

DM Entry: Major DM Rulings added to the Campaign Setting.

A new section has been added to the Aryathan Jiil Campaign Setting.

FEATS

This new section deals with some feats and adding some specific DM Rulings that are immediately effective.

The side effect of these DM Rulings include the temporary consideration of unbanning the Incantatrix prestige class.

The new DM Rulings cover the following feats:

Deceptive Spell [Metamagic feat]

Invisible Spell [Metamagic feat]

Spellfire Wielder [General Feat]


And then a massive update called Multiple Metamagic Mitigation that covers all manner of metamagic stacking specifically focusing on those that mitigate (or reduce) the spell slot required.

This section has dozens of feats, class abilities, racial traits, magic items, spells, etc, that mitigate the metamagic adjustment of a spell. So if you happen to benefit from any kind of Metamagic mitigators, you need to read every word of this section because their are a dozen or so specific DM Rulings involving these things.


So, if your character actually already possesses anything that is covered in these sections, you might feel like you want to retool your character build in some way, or you may feel like it turns out in your favor. In either case, you gain a one-time Tweak (according to the Tweak rules). Just let me know if you are taking advantage of this tweak opportunity.

Savage Tide: ECL 6 Aconitum Bane: Abyssal Warcaster 6: Entry 1

Oh how I hate everything that is going on around me today. First thing when I wake from my sleep after having lost the ship to a very bad trade, gauntlets of armor my ass, the ship is stuck in some vegetation out in the middle of the sea. Serves the new Master right, I would have never gotten us marooned here.
So yeah, we see another ship a few hundred feet away from us was stuck too. So our captain, as bight as she is, flew over to the ship alone. Next thing you know, she is being ripped in half and played tug of war with some plant monsters.... how much I hated her.
So I was still groggy and hated the morning so I went over to the other ship... maybe I could get her loot before anyone else got over there? However, the rest of the party was already there and dispatched the monsters with ease.
So we discovered a book of the original captain telling about how the plants were killing his crew, serves him right, I was a better master of the ship than him. So the party found that we had to trek like 5 miles or something like that over the vegetation and it would have taken forever to do. So everyone was going to fly over there with magic or magical properties of some sort. Even the Tripp'n fighter learned some convoking powers from one of the other convokers in the party that was recently freed from the stones we picked up.
I however could not fly to keep up with the group. Check I even tried to calculate how far the catapult could launch me lol. Until we decided to make a skid out of the broken wood planks.
Mush!!!!!! Mush!!!!! and on we went.
The next few rounds went easily enough crossing the vegetation until we came to another ship. So our historian wizard said according to history it has been lost at sea for hundreds of years. So we hopped onboard. As soon as I got on the deck and the Tripp'n fighter landed, the other people still flew around, more stupid plants started attacking us. This time smaller ones started spawning bigger ones. The same big ones that ripped the old Captain apart. After we found out that we had to kill the smaller plants, as they were controlling the others, we dispatched them. We almost didn't succeed at saving the Tripp'n fighter, as he learned, grappling is not his strong area.
While we were fighting, one of the other members seen we had more company coming, and coming fast all around us. So I decided to try to find an exit below decks, maybe swim out of a hole in the boat.
As I proceed down to the bottom of the boat, a Mother of F-ing Plants sprung out of a black hole. Thankfully the convoker went topside to get help from the rest of the party that was preparing to fight off the horde of plants approaching the boat. With a few "short" rounds, the plant beast started to fall apart and everything around us shook violently. We immediately noticed that the ship was waterborne again and sinking rapidly.... remember the black hole.... yeah now a spouting water.
We managed to get topside in time to see all the vegetation gone! Quickly we got back to our ship.
Over the next few days the crew tried to fix the ship, but it was to no prevail. A few hundred feet from coast, a large wave slapped the ship around. The ocean proved too much and it forced us to abandon ship to the island.
