Re: OOC Thread

Map is re-updated!

This time, I reviewed the previous posts and found that there was one more unexplored intersection, so I returned that to the map. You don't have to explore it, but didn't want to block it off for you.

Re: OOC Thread

YES - please level up to 6th!

Normally I'm in favor of a long rest prior to leveling up, but it's probably realistic to think that the one of the effects of inter-dimensional travel is leveling up.

...at least I don't have any personal experience that says otherwise.

Re: OOC Thread

I added the 3 feathers to the magic items inventory in the treasure thread. Also, when re-reading Laz and Thorfire's conversation with Zelgor back in chapter 10, I was reminded that he gave you 4 beads of some sort. I'm going to assume that you each took 1, so you have that mysterious magical item in your possession, as well.

Re: OOC Thread

Finally posted. Sorry about the delay.

BTW, do you use any of the online sources in D&D Beyond?I used to have access to all of Chris's stuff (thanks to Sentinel Peaks), but tonight all of a sudden I no longer have access to the Monster Manual or Volo's Guide. Wondering if you experienced the same thing.

As for the game, I have a hard copy of both, so no great loss, other than now I have to look up "Platemailed Lich Warrior" myself!

Re: OOC Thread

I forgot all about the beads! Great memory.

You have one, assuming you, Laz, Thorf, and Therarak took one each (and also assuming you successfully prevented Thorfire from stealing yours on his inevitable (multiple) attempts to do so).

Description for Beads of Force: You can use an action to throw the bead up to 60 feet. The bead explodes on impact and is destroyed. Each creature within a 10-foot radius of where the bead landed must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or take 5d4 force damage. A sphere of transparent force then encloses the area for 1 minute. Any creature that failed the save and is completely within the area is trapped inside this sphere. Creatures that succeeded on the save, or are partially within the area, are pushed away from the center of the sphere until they are no longer inside it. Only breathable air can pass through the sphere's wall. No attack or other effect can.

An enclosed creature can use its action to push against the sphere's wall, moving the sphere up to half the creature's walking speed. The sphere can be picked up, and its magic causes it to weigh only 1 pound, regardless of the weight of creatures inside.




Also for what it's worth, you may already know this, but the details of the mission from Zelgor (about two years ago in RL, but in game time maybe a week ago) are in Chapter 10, messages 1 - 15.

Re: OOC Thread

Game map is updated. I need to learn how to drop them right into the game thread. Any idea how that works? I've seen other DM's do it, but I don't know where to put the picture.

Anyway, for now you're stuck looking via the game map button. At least it's the main map so you don't have to go looking for it.

Re: OOC Thread

any interest getting into another RPOL game? It was a guy who plays in the West Marches game and he recruited some players from there. It started out with a bang after a player dropped do to a silly issue before the game even started. Another person just dropped due to reasons outside the game so the GM is looking for someone to fill. It is incredibly slow moving, we just reached level 2...

Re: OOC Thread

Not to give anything away, but I'm tempted to wrap up this tower and get you to the nearest town, unless you are anxious to explore the rest of the tower. You've got the main denizens trapped and have access to the exit, so escape at this point is fairly certain.

And yes, you already get the full XP for "defeating" them , so no need to go back and kill them just for the XP.

Once in town, we can call in another player or two (invite someone new or you can play a 2nd or both), we can continue to solo through the next chapter, or we can pull the plug on it altohgether.

For what it's worth, my plan (for some time) has been to thread this into a published level 5-10 adventure that hopefully you haven't played before.

Let me know your thoughts.

Re: OOC Thread

Sorry, I didn't realize that it has been so long since I posted. I don't know what happened to the time, my head is been too much in the election stuff. I need to take a break but I can't. This is supposed to be my mental decompression.

14 more days...

Re: OOC Thread

14 more days followed by 2 months of lawyers bickering at each other over the results! Maybe it'll be a landslide, but I doubt it.

Just testing some imaging here. First time ever, so probably won't work...

Re: OOC Thread

Congrats on passing the longest, most overly complicated skill challenges ever!!!

I was nervous about the DC12 Acrobatics check (the last one needed to get away). Just seemed like that would be the one to screw it all up.

Re: OOC Thread

Celador Qiris:
How about rolling against Celador's intimidation?

12:00, Today: Celador Qiris rolled 4 using 1d20+3 ((1)).

faaaaahck.

maybe Rugshaw can roll too?


That's a great idea and the nat 1 makes it borderline legendary. If ever there was a sign that we should roll for initiative, this is it!!!

Re: OOC Thread

Because it bugs me that we're right in the middle of things, I'm planning to carry this story through to a natural (perhaps rushed) conclusion. So just in case you're still out there, I'm letting you know that I may post for Celador in order to move the story forward to that end.

If at any time you still feel like posting, you are more than welcome!

It was a great run.
