I guess this is one of those situations where the players let you know they are struggling a little with the current situation, even if they are still engaged overall.

Re: OOC

So we'll assume that you've all hauled in to the tavern to plan your next move.  While we're at it, I should probably go through some of your experience and treasure thus far.

Everyone = 7,800 xp
Boris; Stoney an additional +8315 xp (only two who've been around for older fights)

There were also the items acquired...
- A dirty looking, metal amulet with some sort of crystal set within.
- A ring that appears to be of solid gold with a green jewel inset
- A carved, stone ring of very dark color.  Some of you may think it resembles the ugly face carved into the side of the mountain.
- A wand or decorative piece to a priests outfit

Re: OOC

This is all the xp that's been generated from the game so far so yeah, it would add into what you already have.  It's seems like a lot for such a low level at this point, I know, but the stats for some of the things you've faced are pretty high and...well...ya'll gonna need to level up for some...other things :D :D :D

Re: OOC

On a more personal note, if anyone is familiar with Conan Exiles, I'm attempting to recreate this story line on my game server.  Not that it means much, but I do plan on adding you as NPCs.

Well, we have only had one real fight I can recall.

Apparently you don't get XP for anything but fighting in the game, which is part of the reason I am no fan of D&D.  We have been spending months real time wandering around trying to solve a mystery, walking around moors, and such.. which brings you no XP at all.

Re: OOC

Actually, you've only been wandering around for maybe a week or so but true, the system never said anything about xp for other actions.  It gets thrown in by me, as well as for RPing and whatnot.

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 787):

I'll look into leveling up! (Please go ahead and add Boris as an NPC for your Conan game. Fine by me!)

As well, I think we got a scroll or 2 from the room with the corpse in the cave-temple complex. Although I do not believe these are spells.

In AD&D you also get XP for treasure, not just killing enemies. But no, there were no RP awards. But in case people are worried that is still the case, in 2nd ed. while group XP awards are awarded for killing opponents, XP can certainly be awarded for RP or besting enemies without resorting to combat:

quote:
A creature needn't die for the characters to score a victory. If the player characters ingeniously persuade the dragon to leave the village alone, this is as much--if not more--a victory as chopping the beast into dragonburgers!


quote:
Individual experience point awards are given for things a player does or things he has his character do. Intelligent play is worth experience; good role-playing is worth experience; actions that fit the group's style are worth experience.

Although some of these awards are tied to abilities, giving out these experience points is purely a discretionary act. It is up to the DM to decide if a player character has earned the award and, within a given range, to determine the amount of the award. These awards are normally given at the end of each session, but this isn't a hard-and-fast rule--the DM can award individual experience points any time he feels it appropriate.

Re: OOC

So it appears Sharps may have some sort of idea but nothing concrete.  Shall I gently nudge you all in a direction? (he asked knowingly)

Well I was hoping to get reactions from the other two before we move as they are somewhat involved.  I may have to move it along shortly.

Re: OOC

That's why I had asked for quick roles not that long ago to determine initiative; 1d10 with lowest going first.  Did you want to use a different system?

I missed this, and in fact going back over IC and OOC can't see where this was posted. (It was a quick scan so I'm sure I just overlooked it.) Not that it matters this turn for me as Boris completely whiffed!

I have added next turn initiative in my post.

Further, I did see your post about adding our characters as NPCs, sounds good to me!

Thanks,

Tony
