Bruno - it's about 60 feet, so I see your point.  All the hobgoblins are vanquished, as are the goblins.

Re: OOC: The First Chapter - August 2016

So my birthday is on Saturday - I will be 48.  For those who care.  I certainly don't care - I feel pretty good, still look somewhat presentable (which was me on my best days anyway so...).


All that to say: I'm going to try to get a post in this weekend, but may not be until next week.


Until then, Slainte'.

I've got two years on you and feel more or less the same way about things.

Most days... ;)

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Seer for Saturday, and you for Sunday Zan.  I hope you both have a great weekend.

I turned 48 back in July, and though I'm not in the best shape of my life, I'm not doing too badly if we add 20+ years of wear and tear.

In reply to Zan (msg # 256):

Of all the teams in the AFC I hate the Patriots and Steelers the most.
So...I'm pulling for the NFC this year...hopefully the Packers; but would mind seeing Matt Ryan get a Super Bowl ring.

I'm rooting for the Steelers due to spousal interest - her family is from just outside of Pittsburg.

I think I'd like to see a Pitt/Green Bay matchup - I like the history and tradition of both franchises.

Re: OOC: The First Chapter - August 2016

Howdy.  Things are going to speed up now w/ action started.  Including my post rate.  Got a new all in one printer/scan/copy - old one died about 3 months ago - I swear I don't know how I did without it for that long!  Used my work all in one to post maps and such - awkward explaining to my co-workers what I was doing.  LOL!

Look for 2 posts per week now - think that's fair & I'll try to spread them out over several days so that everyone can be on the same timeline.

Great job so far fellers!  Thanks for playing.

Recall initiative is in order, highest to lowest.  Uthecar starts with a 1.  the fellow coming down the hall rolled a 4.

GAME ON!

Those of you familiar with Dragonsfoot website probably know the author Gnarley Bones and his adventures in the land of song - heavy undead presences in all three modules and apparently the 4th and final installment of those adventures is coming soon.

Without giving out spoilers, those 4 modules would be my ultimate adventure. It would be at least a 10 year game, but well worth the effort as it would take you from modest mid-level adventurers to exploring other planes.

I'm REALLY excited to see the new module...to the point that I almost can't wait to finish this one.

That said, spoilers suck, so does meta gaming.  I know many of you have visited their site & likely seen the modules I'm speaking of. To the best of your ability, don't metagame if you can help it. I'm going to add some of my own surprises anyway, so you might get busted if you do...but honor system's in place.

Which brings me to my next point, something I touched upon in my last post. I am committing to you right now that I will stick to a 2x/week posting schedule to the best of my ability moving forward.

That should accelerate the game and make it more exciting and interesting. And this crawl has a lot to offer you guys in terms of leveling and some treasure that will prepare you down the road.

All that to say: Hail and well met, Gents - let's do this!!!

Bruno -

Curing him stops the bleeding and in my world effectively brings him up to 0 HP. Weasel is unconscious. Casting another cure wounds spell will repair the amount of healing that's rolled - i.e. if you roll a 5 on an 8 sided die, he's healed for 5 points of damage and is up and mobile.

of course, he was bit by a ghoul...

Re: OOC: The First Chapter - August 2016

Have I ever mentioned I have a pathological fear of the undead?  Yeah well I do.  Hate them, hate them, hate them.  I think it has more to do with the potential XP loss than anything else.  Is there anything scarier than that?

This is possibly meta-gaming, apologies if it is but we need to know.  Is minus hp just to be considered unconscious, with -10hp being dead?  The difference is of some importance given the nature of ghouls and weasels recent fainting fit.

Re: OOC: The First Chapter - August 2016

I use the -10 true death measure of death, however I'm not above sticking some 'DM's caveat' into certain rules.  For instance, when is death really death when it comes to a character who's been bit by something like a ghoul or lycanthrope?

We'll play it by ear - since Wine Guys given me plenty of leeway with his character, I can make things really interesting.

On the other hand, and especially given that this dungeon is a lot harder than I think I gave it credit for, I might go easy on y'all.

Wouldn't count on it though...

;)

As for meta-gaming: you guys are always welcome to ask questions. I will always answer them at my discretion!

Re: OOC: The First Chapter - August 2016

I am assuming a retreat is the order of march for the group.

I will be posting this weekend sometime, please let me know if anyone disagrees with the plan of actions between now and then.

Thanks

Re: OOC: The First Chapter - August 2016

Rather than the general marching order, would the injured order be more appropriate?

General Marching Order
UthecarMyrrick
BrunoKullonar
ZanWeasel

Injured Marching Order

MyrrickBruno
Uthecar/Weasel 
KullonarZan

I'm easy either way really, but Uthecar in the front doesn't seem to make the best sense as less care would be taken of Weasel if a fight erupted.  At least he'd have a chance to put him down first if he was in the second rank, otherwise the poor boy will be partly shield as Uthecar joked IC.

Paralyzed by ghouls is written as a rigid form of paralysis, (unless you say otherwise Seer) so he would be a little cumbersome to carry.
