I'll be out camping this coming Friday, the 14th, through Monday, the 17th.  I might be able to update Friday morning.

Agreed, let's rest. Suggestions on where we hole up?

Any problem with our current room?

I believe there is still more dungeon to explore, or have we grown tired of the crawl? I'm happy to continue delving deeper, but I'm also open to whatever. A Cynidecian in the outside world might be a lot of fun!

There can definitely be more dungeon to explore, but we're kind of hamstringing ourselves if we don't pop back up to the surface and find a real city.  There aren't the resources here to do much with the loot.

We never entirely decided where to go from here, but I thought that the majority of the group preferred the idea of me continuing from this point with more material.  I had planned to have us go to the surface fairly shortly here and move on to another leg in the party's adventures, but if you all want to stay down here, I have material for that as well.

I'd prefer to move on to adventure somewhere else in the world. It seems that there's nothing more here except a few rooms we've missed along the way.

Seconding Elboc's idea. We have soooo much money and nowhere to spend it. We need some kind of deus ex machina to get us out of the desert.

I know an AD&D module that I'd run if I were you, but I'm good with whatever you're willing to run :-)

It seems to me that there's at least one, maybe two levels unexplored... one where you all were coming up the stairs from to meet Hamburg, and that level he was on before we all left back up to 5th? level?  Anyway, it's been years of real time underground, I'm happy to try a trek across the desert or something else...

Albricht always had dreams of somehow pumping the water from the lake up to the surface and selling it... money begets money...

Did we tally anywhere how many undead we actually destroyed?

I'm going to take from the silence that we don't know. I will do a tally myself in the next day or so and then post something IC.

Checking my Basic edition weights: 100 coins = 1 lb, correct?

Re: OOC Chat 3 - Has this game been long, or is it just me?

Unfortunately I think you're off by a digit ol'boy...

Encumbrance p.B20:
A person can only carry a limited amount of weight before being overloaded and unable to move. In D&D rules, weight is measured in coins (en), rather than pounds, since all coin types are equal in weight and coins are the most common of treasures. Ten coins weigh one pound. Encumbrance (a combination of weight and bulk) will affect movement rates for characters...

...The most that a character can carry is 1600 coins. The most a mule can carry is 4000 coins.


By my calculations, we've got 49,417 coins. That's not counting jewelry and gems.

One note is that the Usamigarans only owed 17,500gp, Albricht had his share converted into his Bolt of Returning +3... but since the priest was on shrooms when he paid the party, it's quite possible he overpaid. ;-)

I can see the next segment of the campaign being about extracting and trying to keep all this loot! We're filthy rich... if we can ever get it somewhere to spend it!

We got here by way of a lost caravan... now we need a caravan to get it all out!

Too bad Albricht isn't around to manage it all! I suppose we could go in search of him... who knows, he may not be dead, and if he is, perhaps we could find a way to resurrect him!

@DM - Are we up-to-date on our XP?

Please see "Rules and Rulings", post #5 (actual coins are 1/50th of a pound):

Re: OOC Chat 3 - Has this game been long, or is it just me?

DM, that's a great question--should we make something up, or can you give us more details about where we were going?

Also, what world are we going to use here? Mystara?

World?  Frankly, I hadn't considered doing much more than sketching some intervening locations on your way to the next module.  I'm honestly not deeply familiar with the official B/X and BECMI campaign settings, and have typically just made it up as I went along.

West sounds like a great direction.  Your caravan was traveling to the west when you were separated from it.

Unexpected stuff going down in RL combined with an expected Saturday all day-Sunday event--won't be able to contribute until Sunday or Monday.

Sherborne:
Well to be honest I haven't actually been very active so I'm not offended by that or anything.  I am finding that this medium lately doesn't really work for me so I was considering having Sherborne perhaps just stay at the next town and maybe do what cleric's do while everyone moves on.


Firstly, I didn't realize that Sherborne was still here. I would love it if you would stick around, Sherborne. Having two clerics is way better than one. What could we do to make this more fun?
