Rock / T&T

arduin map from empcho
Scale: 10 miles to an inch.
Map is 2 ft [24 inches] x 3 ft [36 inches] - so 360 miles across for whole area.

??Is the map purely of the "Sea of Mists" area?
If so: Hargrave's map is about 3x that wide...so Plateau to Talismonde is about twice that (2/3 across the map x3 scale) or 720 miles.
sounds good ??
At that rate, it would be 20 hours of travel (2 days) to Talismonde.

somewhat balanced by, maybe should be using 'civilized' encounters??
Assume stopped somewhere along way - Inn.

Party can work out day an hour longer, setting to come through at about 9 am.
19:19, Today: Garek rolled 23 using 1d24.  time differential
(Arduin forward from Rhaelph time)...means party 'gains' an hour (9 am becomes 8 am there).

air elemental - encounter 1




20:31, Today: Garek rolled 5 using 1d20.  Antaeus - inertial barrier.
-absorbs wind attacks/physical attacks - should cover most of carpet.
Anything 'behind' pocket partly protected? Wind would also flow around.
Garek - duality action -confusion (automatically fails, immune).
Harcourt - wand

if barrier up and confusion annoys it - first attack would be blocked by inertial barrier.
[assume doing 'wind' - physical attacks would roll damage and be absorbed instead.


20:40, Today: Garek rolled 76 using 1d100.  magic resistance - 25%. - ok


HP: 60-80
20% magic resistance.
20:40, Today: Garek rolled 5 using 1d20.  saving throw vs. fire. fails.
-24 damage from fire.
20:42, Today: Garek rolled 62 using 1d100.  magic resistance - Drax.
Drax's wand EXACTLY identical - same save result, 24 damage.
=48
Lynn- readies action to grab someone if needs to air sail.
Gaynor ?

20:46, Today: Garek rolled 31,28 using d20+12,d20+12.  Gaynor - magic arrows (+3).
deals 6 damage to the thing. =54

Garek ? -can't use bow through inertial barrier
Pretty close...
20:54, Today: Garek rolled 3,3 using d20,d20.  Garek - battleaxe attacks (sharpness, normal).

:56, Today: Garek rolled 11 using 1d20.  harcourt - control carpet (Int roll).
OK

20:56, Today: Garek rolled 55 using 1d100.  elemental - continuing attack on original target (75%).
Probable miss.


20:51, Today: Garek rolled 77 using 1d100.  33% - chance of fleeing.


20:58, Today: Garek rolled 7 using 1d3+5.  elemental HD.

20:57, Today: Garek rolled 2,18,20 using d20,d20,d20.  attacks on Garek.

20:59, Today: Garek rolled 14,5 using 2d8,2d8.  damage. = 19
Critical -
21:00, Today: Garek rolled 16 using 1d100.  critical result.

21:00, Today: Garek rolled 16 using 1d100.  critical result.
16 – 20 Arm (roll side) As above [Artery cut, die in d10 minutes.], but die in d12 minutes. +d6 damage

21:09, Today: Garek rolled 12 using 1d12.  die in d12 minutes.

21:04, Today: Garek rolled 4 using 1d6.  additional damage.

*total 23 damage

-potentially wind managed to cause fumble from axe (otherwise how to cause edged damage).


On Garek's turn - begins total healing.
Lynn - gets driver to climb, air sail down to use magic bandages.



21:14, Today: Garek rolled 17,84 using d100,d100.  magic resistance - 25%.
absorbs another 24 damage = 78.
--will kill 7 HD elemental.


Lands of Chaos - a bit weird.
Hargreave - PCs start as normal but gradually 'change over' to Arduin systems.


Arduin Adventure - is actually a pretty solid core system,
whereas Grimoire is fairly weird (predates it).

air elemental - encounter 1

12:10, Today: Garek rolled 23 using 1d100.  would some sort of dream monster attack if dream travelling? (50%). - so yes, dream travel out.

elementals often summoned - so, seems like its potentially unsafe to go back. Pressing on (total healing should fix damage in about 4 hours).


12:19, Today: Garek rolled 5 using 1d20.  encounter 2 (end first day). - dragons
12:19, Today: Garek rolled 1 using 1d4.  # dragons.

12:20, Today: Garek rolled 4 using 1d100.  dragon age. - hatchling.

12:31, Today: Garek rolled 17 using 1d20.  random dragon type (19 types).
=Tryvern!
Note - 'extremely rare, half-dozen seen in last 1400 years - guardian to lost treasure'.
12:33, Today: Garek rolled 75 using 1d100.  Replace with wyvern (90%). - yep.
speed of 575'. -pg 177 Compleat Arduin.

12:38, Today: Garek rolled 6 using 1d12.  encounter reaction.
'the monster shies back a bit, and appears hesitant and nervous'
[this sort of reaction explains why an 'always attack' response is notable in monster descriptions!]
12:43, Today: Garek rolled 3 using 1d20.  Charisma check - telepathy, intimidate.

Area dangerous enough that plan may be to charter a ship to Kharahoen.
Slower, next 2 encounters become 'water' encounters (assume sea isn't 'civilized' terrain).

13:08, Today: Garek rolled 10 using 1d20.  sea encounter. [sea sprites]
13:09, Today: Garek rolled 29 using 10d6.  number of sea sprites.

13:13, Today: Garek rolled 37,71 using d100,d100.  special at-sea weather.
37 - foggy, 10 yard visibility
71 - wind 36 mph

Referring 0D&D: each 10 nixies will cast one Charm Person (luring people beneath waves to enslave for one year).
Encounter roll - nixies
Encounter roll - captain.

13:22, Today: Garek rolled 1,12 using d12,d12.  encounter roll - nixies, encounter roll - captain.
-captain charges, nixies flee in panic! (probably has fought them before!/stolen crew members)

13:28, Today: Garek rolled 9 using 1d20.  later that day - sea encounter. - 1 roc.
CA: 200-400 hp, "they hunt whales and other large sea creatures, and will normally leave the ships of men alone unless provoked".

Kharahoeven: - treat as 'voyage to distant land' on good events table - 25% misfortune.
13:36, Today: Garek rolled 88 using 1d100.  'misfortune' chance - Kharahoeven (25%).


14:12, Today: Garek rolled 95 using 1d100.  magic item buying - Ring of Before (50% up to 4).
Extreme No!! ? Won't be stocked for awhile.
14:13, Today: Garek rolled 77,11 using d100,d100.  elven cloaks, boots.
no; yes (2 pairs) and unusual event.


14:20, Today: Garek rolled 65,34,7 using d100,d100,d100.  usual - action, event, subject.

map - now on capital map. Road runs from Kharahaen toward Stoophouse (town); crossroads marks The Running Lady Inn, with road to Tharkness.
Planning to: buy horses.

65,34,7 - neutral event (well that's a change), stop - allies.
Alizar the Sage has decided to leave the group at Kharoeven - party appearing ill-starred.
neutral ? - possibly has found a replacement.

why involved with buying elf shoes ?

77 - could involve further unusual event.


14:24, Today: Garek rolled 38,3,14 using d100,d100,d100.  2nd weird event.
thread-related event, neglect-peace.
whatever we were doing to mollify the sage - we stopped doing - leading to their leaving.
They advised PCs to NOT buy elf gear here - neutral in that they leave but we do get elf shoes.


not well defined- assume they're an elven sage, and boots are 'used' (probably from dead elves).
Can't have known about last purchase, or, overlooking since we didn't know it involved recycling from elves - so permissible.
14:29, Today: Garek rolled 43 using 1d100.  replace sage - 15%.
14:30, Today: Garek rolled 40 using 1d100.  other helper (torch bearer) 50%.
-knows local area, not a sage however.
-dick GMing; sage would know about item construction. Actually make him human, but knows ingredients - buying boots now counts as evil act!

14:48, Today: Garek rolled 8 using 1d20.  Marsa - charisma check.
With diplomacy - not buying the boots, instead keep the elf sage [Alizar]

overland encounters - from nearest town/inn to Forgotten Tower.
land encounter.

Then, each day they travel roll a ~ 0. If a one or a ten comes up then they’ve had an
encounter! You can choose which it will be or pick
randomly, it really does not mailer. (In more civilized
areas roll a 020, a 1 and 20 being an encounter).


Sage character - can roll for Specials in chargen rules.

??WTF "Adjusted Dex"


Known information:

dark magic, fire - Kharkoram
'black tower of polished stone'.
'howling monsters'
Jade figurine
orcs, goblins, other evil creatures.
wizard destroyed [enchanted weapon through heart] ??

Overland encounter (monster) not specified.
Check distance (1" = 10 miles) to find how many overland encounters needed as we enter the swamp.
-assume map given to reach there.

CHECK FOR TRAPS OBSESSIVELY

13 traps - GM distribution.
Randomize per area - check if any should go into caverns below ??

WE CAN NOW SEE THE TOWER.

Either character capable of planar travelling.
Bug out plan - destination ??
Dying character - T&T universe (Yuurk shop), Umslopagaas can apply healing magic.
Just getting away - use own castle.

[spring-loaded 8’ steel spear shoots out, impaling the
victim for 20 points damage].
15:51, Today: Garek rolled 75 using 1d100.  Antaeus - F/R traps 80%.

! Map error - staircase "F" goes up two floors (3rd to 5th). Staircase "G" doesn't align - is on RHS of fourth floor and LHS of 5th (adjacent rather than diagonally opposite).
