Gents?

My terrible attack rolls scared 'em off ;)

Customary holiday hiatus, I'm afraid.

My posting will be spotty this week, though--not online tomorrow, probably online Wednesday, probably not online Thursday, iffy for Friday.

On the first day of Christmas my GM gave to me...a million XP for free!

Not that but it does look like a new player has wandered into our midst.

I have been thinking that I prefer the AD&D style of exp rather than the DCC level up at the end mode. I might switch to something like that should we ever complete this encounter.

Oh, haha, I can advance this.

All are up.

Things got busier than expected going into Christmas for me, so next posts from me on Christmas Day proper, most likely. Happy Holidays to you all, and for those who do Christmas, Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas one and all!

Merry Christmas to you as well.

The dwarf-thing is dead.

You're still in combat so post accordingly.

Meet the new dwarf-thing, same as the old dwarf thing.

Waiting on R & Z to recover from their winter maladies.

Roland, being a wee slip of a fellow, can always join melee, regardless of any stated limitations.

I am new to this particular PbP site so perhaps I don't know the specifics, but Tom Yaris' character details are showing in my character details page...

See your private messages. Sometimes when Tom's on one of his extended walkabouts, he needs another handler.

Sorry just read that, the private message link on this site does not light up when you have a new message. Is Tom still out?

He did pop in for his last post.

When one of my games has a new game post, it's red; a new private message, it's blue; both, it's violet.

A couple of things. This module is not strictly speaking written for DCC; it's 3.5 compatible, so I have to make adjustments. The poison was identified as "medium monstrous spider" or "greenblood oil." I went with the former and chose tarantula from the DCC poison table. I don't think anybody can heal Zaichus.

However, I neglected to turn off the vacancy light for this game and another wanderer has happened by. I don't want to go to 8 PCs, but with the poisoning of poor Zaichus...seems like the party wants for another cleric.

I don't think anybody can heal Zaichus.

No, there is a magical item you gained from your time as tomb raiders that could save him.

Don't have my book handy--is a repeating crossbow in the DCC book? If not, how does it work?

It can fire five times without needing to be reloaded.

*Tumbleweeds roll past in a lonely silence.*
"Anyone here?"

I think Roland/Zaichus had been calling but they've been busier of late. Feel free to take over and I will update.

As for missile recovery, just go with 50% owing to the stoniness of it all.

Roland's Agility sucks, so I don't want the repeating crossbow. Who does?

In reply to Roland (msg # 592):

Krovas wouldn't mind trying it out if no one else is interested. By not needing to be reloaded, could it fire more than once per round or would it just allow movement before shooting?

Just the latter.

We never acquired a thief in the party, right?
