at 00:50 | Re: OOCOk folks, if you can see this thread then you have been accepted for one of the two Whiterock games. (This one, to be exact!) For now we just have this OOC thread as things get all sorted and organized. Please feel free to start chatting about characters and all the fun we're going to have or whatever.
I should mention that Cha Wiz gets first option at a Cleric, Cha Qui gets first option at a rogue and Cha ApM gets first option at a magic user.
Of course, I don't care much about the actual make up of the party. Almost anything is ok with me. But I don't recommend 5 Diviners.
Finally please post a message here or in a new PM to me that lets me know you understand whats going on and continue to desire to play in this Castle Whiterock Campaign.
Thanks.

Greetings lads :)
With a cleric, rogue and wizard dibsed I guess that leaves a biffer and open role for the remaining two of us.
Canin, what source material is open to us to create our characters, and what's the point buy?

at 08:38 | Re: OOCSorry all, right now just trying to get organized. I'll be using this weekend to get you some better information and make this place start looking game-ready.
AS for material, I generally am willing to at least consider anything. Just know that I keep a handy by item veto power handy. Most WoTC material is acceptable but other things may be as well. Just let me know what you're looking at (and be prepared to explain in detail if I don't have access to the material; though I have access to a lot of resources) and I'll make a call on whether it'll be acceptable or not. I like providing my players with lots of option but I will say no to things that I feel are unworkable for reasons of balance or logic or whatever. For example, there a several spells in the Spell Compendium that I'll probably be giving the big NO to because I really think they are far too powerful or open to abuse. However, other spells from the same book are more than welcome.

at 10:15 | Re: OOCAll the players now have a user editable character sheet.
Oh and just a note: Have fun making characters and such but please don't get too attached to any particular aspect of the character including background (personality you can probably safely start crafting without any fear of DM law coming down). You are all approved players but no particular character or aspect of a character is final until we actually getting the ball rolling with some IC threads.
Also, I know lots of players, including me at times, love to make elaborate backgrounds for their characters. Just remember you are only level 1 at the beginning of this campaign and hopefully the really defining moments of your characters lives will be the ones that happen in game. A well crafted personality including fears, hopes, dreams, addictions or whatever else it is that determines how your character acts and lives their life now is more important than a well written story about what happened in the past.

In fact I think I have to politely ask everyone to slow down slightly. As we all know I'm trying to get three games up and running and we're looking for long epic games here. We can afford to take a little time putting the characters together. I'm glad everyone's excited, so am I, and good things are coming. Before the weekends out I hope to have all the relevant info your going to need for character creation posted in threads and then we can get down the some serious character generation and roleplaying. Feel free to keep talking concepts and/or roll stats to start giving yourselves ideas of what you have to play with but give me a little time and you'll have everything else you need too.

at 19:13 | Re: OOCHmm...
I don't want to rush anywhere. That's a fact. I personally, would like to develop a character form a background I have in mind. What do I mean under that? I mean, I'm not picking a class and write a background for it, but the other way around. I think up a possible personality and background, and then give it a class.
But yea, it's probably around something that will be a frontline kicker. Paladin, barbarian, fighter or something completely other thing, I don't know.
DM, am I allowed to take in consideration the Book of the Nine Swords by chance? Has some interesting things.
Once our DM has more time on his hands and I'm done putting together a draft of background and personality, I'll see about getting the info down.
Questions:
Will our characters know each other up in advance? Or just some of us?
In either case, would anyone be interested in making a shared background? :)

at 19:43 | Re: OOCPersonally, this character is one I tried playing before, but the game collapsed after just two sessions. So I know his background and personality pretty well.
There's always the possibility of my character having a casual link to another's past, though it may not be positive. =D
And, yes, I should be a frontline "assistant." Sneak Attack where possible.

I've been reading BotN recently, and I've found Swordsage or Warblade to be quite interesting. Especially the Swordsage. Crusader is as well an interesting thing, but my approach of personality would not really fit.
What I really like in Swordsage is the whole "mind clarity" thing. I have an interesting personality I would like to play out.
So I'm asking our kind DM, should I continue thinking about this concept or now? :)
I might as well consider a Warblade as mentioned above. Difference is, Swordsage is not really a frontliner, while a Warblade is exactly that...

Sat 20 Mar 2010
at 13:02 | Re: OOCAll righto. Thanks for the heads up. :)
What I can say: lots of DMs disallow it because they do not actually understand how the whole martial process work. I know for a fact lots of them just look at powers and say "no I won't allow it", but they don't check actually how they work, how restricted they are, and so on. (especially the part that you need to prepare your powers like a regular wizard).
But hey, if it's a problem - I have no problem with that either. I have about 20 ideas still in my pocked, and still growing. :D
If anyone has any suggestions for frontliner classes, I'm all ears (eyes). :)

You know what, I borrowed the book just now (one of my game buddies is a neighbor) and this doesn't look too bad to me at all. Also, if I decide I was wrong then I can think of a few easy ways to lessen the power of the class very easily, such as making the full round action to re-ready a maneuver provoke attacks of opportunity. So go ahead and we'll see how it goes. In case it needed to be said: I reserve the right to disallow any maneuver, stance or feat from this book on a case by case basis. Especially as I don't know most of them.

at 13:28 | Re: OOCHey all, I thought I would copy this post of mine over from the other Whiterock game as I thought it might apply here too. I posted it to give my opinion on their discussion about shared backgrounds, whether or not they know each other, should they be a mercenary group etc. One of the players had just said they had always thought the idea of professional adventurer was kind of silly.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Personally I prefer professional adventurer to mercenary company but I won't force you.
However, the land your going to be "adventuring" in does have a tradition of companies of adventurers often naming themselves in some way such as: The Company of the Tempest, or the Fellowship of the Broken Arrow. Basically, they are a meeting ground between adventurer and mercenary. They may take contracts and broker deals like Mercenaries but they are often as much in it for Glory, exploration or personal missions of some sort and will often act according to their own agendas and not just as simple swords (or spells) for hire. Personally, I won't force any such decision on you all (this is a group decision for yourselves to make) but I would suggest that you agree to be a VERY recently formed such company of adventures looking for their first job/mission/quest/goal/purpose whatever. Perhaps some of more shared history than others or not as you like.
That's your DMs two cents.

at 05:02 | State of things as of this postOk everyone, a couple new notices have been put up. Feel free to discuss or ask any questions you may have.
Two of you have new names now.
A couple specific answers to some specific questions:
Cha Qui - The Lasher prestige class lucks fun to me. I envy you, always had a desire to play a whip user myself. That and an all dagger, all the time, fighter/rogue.
Mordred - magic stuff could be in any language. Definitely Draconic, Celestial, Abysall,
Elven, and possibly any of the elemental languages. Other possible useful languages? Gnomes have some history in this kingdom and Dwarven kingdoms both Good and Evil exist in the mountains which border the kingdom to the East. Knowing the languages of your enemy is always a good tactic and without giving anything away you can always assume D&D enemies at some time will probably include various goblinoid, orc and giant races. I won't promise or rate the usefulness of any particular language because I'm a big believer in the enjoyment of discovery in a game like this.

The rogue is apparently a frontline support (I'm not really familiar with swashbuckler), and my bard is going to be up there next to you yelling and screaming (in tune!), so you're not alone.
But a paladin sounds pretty good :) I'd be nervous about my protector wearing less armour than me!

Tue 23 Mar 2010
at 07:57 | Re: State of things as of this post (1.1)Answers for questions:
Mordred: Like in the regular alignment system if I feel that your character is behaving in ways not matching your stated alignment I'll probably ask you to change it. For RP reasons you yourselves may decide that your characters outlooks on life are changing and alter them yourselves. Without a traumatic reason drastic changes quickly would be unrealistic and I don't intend to punish anyone whose alignment is changing. People (and monsters!) change and very few beings alignments should be completely rigid anyway.
Cha Wiz, just as there are no skills which benefit dispel magic there are no skills which benefit those other spells either. However its not a bad idea. I might consider allowing a synergy bonus of +2 for those who have a certain number of ranks in relevant skills but for now I'd like to try out the system as I originally found it and see how it goes. Lets try tinker level 1 and see how it goes before we up it to tinker level 2.
Radoslav, with the removal of use rope as a skill perhaps we'll add an equivalent requirement in say...balance...for the Prestige Class you were looking at.
Ok folks, we're rolling along nicely, next step for me later today or maybe tomorrow will be to provide the general background and geography and stuff for the game. (Where are we and what does it look like!) As well as some guidance to tie all your characters together and into the game. I'm going to suggest you all know each other to some degree (perhaps some almost not at all!) and have decided to form an Adventuring Company as previously discussed. I'll give more later like I said.
Near as I can tell the IC game should be starting within a couple days (or less!)
I think we've got a very nice group shaping up here. Should be fun.

Flaws from Unearthed Arcana. Uh, I'll allow one per character. Two as suggested by the book is too many in my opinion. Also, if you're going to have a flaw make it fit your character. I don't like things like taking flaws thoughtlessly simply to grab extra feats.
Dena, that's a nice looking character sheet and you or anyone else is welcome to use that resource. But I won't be making it a requirement. Anyone who decides to put together their character sheet in that manner: please put a link to it in your character sheet section of this game.
Backgrounds: Ok everyone, I'd like to suggest some conceit to ease of play and quicker getting startedness. As this is PbP things can sometimes seem to move at a glacial pace. So lets skip the IC part where you all make introductions and work your way around to deciding to work together for some reason. Let's assume you've already done that.
All of you are adventures for some reason or another, you may be looking for wealth or glory. You may be looking for experience and knowledge. Perhaps, as in the case of our cleric exploration is a religious calling. Or as in the case of a Paladin, working with other adventures often provides opportunity to fight evil and help the downtrodden. Your reasons for wanting to adventure are your own, but you all want to do it. (and seriously, if you don't, why the heck did you apply to play "the greatest dungeon story ever told!"??) Some of you may have known each other for a long time or even be related - Mellar and Lonhro I'm looking at you. Others may be more recent relations.
Of course, an aspiring adventure in the Kingdom of Morrain at this time knows that the town of Cillamar is the place to go. There is a famous inn there, The Slumbering Drake, widely known to be run by a a wealthy and purportedly powerful sorceress, is a favorite of travelers for its good comfort and relatively cheap and fair prices and the sorceress is known to be found of explorers and adventurers. So what is a young aspiring seeker of ________ (whatever applies to your character) going to do but head to Cillamar and the Slumbering Drake. Whether along the way or prior to or just after arrival you have met one another, swapped a few notes and come to the conclusion that forming an adventuring company makes sense for each of your own reasons. Along the road you have all also picked up at least one interesting story or rumor. The sort adventurers love to hear.
Thus, I'd like to start you as a group in The Inn of the Slumbering Drake in the town of Cillamar. Hows this all sound to you folks?
Also, just waiting on Millar and Dena's character sheet and then we're probably ready to roll.
Any questions?

Just cover whatever details of appearance or personality or background that the group as a whole would know. Feel free to keep secrets, you don't have to assume everyone is your best friend yet or ever will be, but a little general knowledge will probably help the group gel together more easily.

at 17:04 | Re: State of things as of this post (2)Mellar is a priest of Olidyra, newly ordained. He and his brother Lonhro were raised by halflings when their parents died in house fire when they were only children.
Mellar is very easy going, but also very curious. He is obviously a bit of an outdoorsman, skilled in nature, and survival. He is also knowledgeable about religious matters, and can cook quite well. He is also skill in the treating of wounds and injuries.
More to come when I have time to write it.

at 17:27 | Re: State of things as of this post (2) Mordred is a scholar. A Wizard who recently completed his apprenticeship. He
was an orphan raised by a kindly blacksmith and his wife. At about 11 he was
made an apprentice.
Perhaps he seems a bit too quiet at times. But 7 years as someone's assistant
as they travel from town to town may make a scholar but not improve social skills
very much.
Mordred dresses in black robes, and black gloves and black leather boots. Easier
to keep clean then white or colorful garments. He walks with a staff that looks like
he cut it from a tree limb. There is also a dagger at his belt.
One could consider him handsome if his features were not always half hidden with
the cowls of his robes. He tends to talk softly. Oh, if the group has been together
for a while there is a small tattoo on his left shoulder. Beautiful work - of a Red
Dragon flying over a Black Moon.

What I've posted in character description however is there for anyone to read if he or she wills so.
"A young human in her early twenties. Dena wears a full set of clothes suited for someone who never knows what to expect. Sturdy boots, leather breeches, a belt with a few pouches and a sword sheeted on the side, a sturdy shirt, heavy gloves and a cloak. She wears a large, silver holy symbol of Justicia around her neck. Dena wears no armor at all, but a large shield that she wears on her back, half of her very own size. Beside the sword on her waist, another weapon, a crossbow hangs on her shoulder, next to the shield. The young woman certainly does look attractive, and seems to be a very friendly person from the first impression. An immediate notice in her appearance is certainly her silvery hair."

The studded leather he wears is well worn but looks sturdy, and the rest of his clothes are in other shades of brown. At his hip is a coiled whip, and the handle of another peeks from behind his backpack. He has a good number of knives secured about his person, and takes great care to remember where each is.
He has a compulsive personality and will act on a whim. He has a disdain for laws he doesn't agree with and with authority in general. Regardless, he avoids conflict when possible.

He wear a chain shirt and carries a shield around, and his only real weapon is a rapier. He spent some years keeping order in his foster parents' tavern in Bread-in-Hand and took to spinning tales to keep the guests' minds on something other than fighting. He has the gift of the gab and is a likeable chap, and over the course of his tenure in his family's inn he has picked up all sort of interesting skills and snippets.

at 08:27 | Re: Costs of Things at the InnHeh all,
uh there seems to be a cascading error in the last few posts of the IC thread. :
I think Mellar intended to point out Arien, the drunk at the bar. The old man sitting alone with the teak box on his table is a different fellow, though people are welcome to go talk to him as well. I'm going to edit the posts to better reflect "reality" and then add a post and then you can all carry on from there. It'd probably be best if everyone posted here in the OOC thread who they'd like to talk to or what they'd like to do before heading out to check on Whiterock and then I'll try and keep it all organized and keep us moving along.
Oh, and a note about OOC stuff in the IC thread. Several players have been using PLs to give me information or ask questions, which is fine. But unless you really want the question or action to be a secret from other players feel free to simply type OOC: and the message for me at the end of a post and color it read as I've done here.
Like I said, you're welcome to continue to use the PLs if you want to or feel its more appropriate but there's no need to keep all mechanics secret from all players all the time.
This OOC thread is also a fine place to talk about things going on in the game or ask questions or just chat.

at 09:40 | Re: Costs of Things at the InnHello all, I've added a Calendar for the game. You might notice that 10 days before the day the game started was the Day of Souls. This is a very special holiday in Morrain. It is the summer solsitice and also was the day the first to-be King of Morrain and his friends swore to overthrow the Harbinger king who had oppressed the land. (Ancient History at this time)
It is a day for vows and challenges and decisions. A day to let your feelings be known and to draw lines in the sand. Its a different for everyone but the rule is: on this day something must happen. So, its a perfect day for a group of young travelers and adventurers to make a pact to form a new company for glory or justice or wealth or whatever else floats your boat.
So let's all assume you did that, ok? :)

at 10:17 | Re: Costs of Things at the InnOk, kinda need a direct answer here from some people. Everyone please answer this question:
Do you want to do anything in town tonight or tomorrow morning before going to the Castle or shall I just start a new thread detailing your approach to Castle Whiterock?
I know some people have already answered this question but there has been some new info discovered in the Drake since then. Anyway, I just don't want to start at "at the castle gate's thread and have players upset cause they wanted to buy something or talk to someone" or start a "the next morning in town thread" and have it just sit there empty for two days because everyone just wants to get to the Castle.
BTW, I think I've mentioned this before but, while the Castle is the centerpiece of the campaign and I hope no one will ignore it and run away (kinda defeats the purpose) it should be noted that the town is only a day away if you need it and as the campaign progresses you may find reasons (or not) to do something elsewhere as well.

just wanted to point out that the game is currently in your hands. When you all finish your talking (an important part of the game for sure) and decide to do something I'll do my part. :)
Not that I mind a slower pace; I assume that our group will find the pace which best suits it and it will probably have fast times and slow times. I just wanted to be clear that I'll be responding to you as much or more than you respond to me.
Of course, there's always the chance of random encounters popping up at surprising times too.

Wed 7 Apr 2010
at 08:47 | Re: Costs of Things at the InnSee, I'm glad I clarified things then. :)
Lonhro I assumed you were indicating that you (Lonhro) were ready to move down the path. Dena had been asked a direct question by Radoslav that I assumed would be answered in some manner before people kept moving. Also, I assume, but would prefer to be sure that the party intends to follow the path through the apparent cave/tunnel entrance.
I guess things are going to take time for us as a group to really get into a smooth flow. We are really all still getting to know each other and we've got a hopefully long game ahead of us. I'd like to suggest that people use this OOC thread as well as OOC comments in the IC threads to communicate intentions explicitly to your humble DM and amongst yourselves, just as most groups would in a table top game.
As we go along feel free to offer (polite!) ideas on how to make our game work better.
Perhaps one good system might be that anyone and everyone who thinks any particular scene is finished or at least finished for their character to drop a note here in OOC so that no one has to wonder if someone else has more coming.

at 04:39 | State of things as of this post (3)Hi all,
Sorry you had to wait so long for the newest IC post, it looks like after almost a month or so of being back into RPoL I've figured out my general availability. I can post quite frequently in the week but weekends seem to never leave me much computer time. That doesn't mean that I'll never post on the weekend, just that you shouldn't be surprised if your humble DM is not posting then.
As far as the game goes,I just wanted to be clear again (clarity I think is very important in a PbP game): Everyone passed their sense motive checks when the monks said:
"we are members of the Order of the Dawning Sun. We seek to reclaim lost knowledge and preserve it for all the world. You know how much everyone likes a good book yourselves, as you say."
That was a lie. These monks are not above board.
Finally, I just wanted to check in with everyone in general. Is the game coming together well enough for you all? Are the little maps useful? Any problems at all?

at 16:07 | Slow weekend, slow week.Hey all,
as usual the weekend has brought my RPoL time to a screeching halt. I had hope to get something up over the last couple days but it wasn't to be. It's 1:00am or so Monday morning my time and I've got to get to sleep but I wanted to just let everyone know that this next whole week may be quite slow. Its midterm exam time at the University I work at which means I've got about 30 hours of speaking exams to administer. These weeks are always very exhausting and unfortunately eat up most of the free time I'd other wise use for RPoL. They also make my evening times far more busy catching up with chores and family time. I hope to find time to give to my DMing here but I can't promises anything. Rest assured, these killer weeks (I know 30 hours doesn't sound like much but trust me when I say that it is an exhausting process, and when you factor in the break times necessary to not go crazy and eat and such its a very long week) only come 4 times a year so when its over I'll be in back full swing.

It's only a suggestion, but if you rolled our initiative for us it would save a few days every combat. It's not a roll we can use skill or tactics to improve, and we can't avoid making one.
Having you roll it means when we log in we are ready to start slaying, rather than posting a single roll init and waiting another few days.
Just a thought :)

Also, if anyone makes an attack roll please roll damage as well. That way if you hit we don't need to waste time waiting for me to tell you such. Usually after a round or two of combat I will tell you the relevant ACs so you'll know if you hit or not but if your not sure just roll damage and I'll apply it as need be.
I will say that this is going to be my first RPOL combat and combat is the one thing I've been most worried about. I think its an important part of the game and there will be some nearly unavoidable ones in this adventure and potentially lots more so we'll have to find a comfortable way to do them. Anyone with suggestions on how to make our combats smooth and still D&Dy fun speak up and we'll consider it.
I fully expect the first couple times to perhaps go a little roughly but eventually we'll come up with a group system and rhythm to it that works for us.

at 11:01 | Re: Back to gaming!Best way to do it via pbp is to do the following.
1) You roll initiative for us and list everyone's initiative in order. To create an example:
Lonhro 22
Radoslav 19
Monks 17
Mellar 11
Mordred 8
Dena 3
2) Lonhro and Rado beat the monsters on initiative, so they go first. Just execute the actions in post order. That is, Lonhro and Rado have a go before anyone else but whoever posts first (out of those two) has their actions executed first. So say Rado gets in early and posts his actions an hour before mine gets posted. Then everyone else waits until you firstly process Rado's turn, then my turn (in post order), then go to step 3.
3) Once Lonhro and Rado have had their posts executed, you roll attacks, etc for the enemy, in this case, monks. You process all enemy attacks in the one go.
Just lump all of them into one initiative score. Once you have made all your attacks for the enemy, assigned damage to us, etc, then step 4.
4) EVERYBODY can now post, all five of us, because we all get a go before the monsters' next turn. You process the actions in order of post. Then rinse and repeat.....monks go, then we all go, monks go, then we all go.
Doing it this way means that initiative only affects the first round of any combat. It is still useful (as it can give you an extra round if you beat the enemy) but it becomes redundant for the rest of the combat because the rest of the battle comes down to us (in post order), then them, then us (in post order) then them. Removing initiative order (aside from seeing who beats the enemy in round 1) avoids an enormous amount of drama that can arise from not knowing what people who haven't posted are going to do (if they beat you in initiative). All someone hase to do to know what's happening prior to their turn is read the posts. When I was introduced to this method I was skeptical, but it has turned out to be a lifesaver and makes combats extremely uncomplicated.
So, to summarise:
1) Party members who beat the enemy initiative go first, in any order.
2) Enemy go next all in one go.
3) Everybody then gets a turn, in any order as actions are executed in post order.
4) Repeat until the end :)
This saves a LOT of time over 2 years, trust me :)

at 14:36 | Re: Back to gaming!Part of me shakes with fear at Lonhro's idea (what! but initiative! initiative! the strategy! oh no!)
But part of me can see how it probably works pretty well for PbP D&D. So, I'd like to hear form the other player: How about trying Lonhro's sytem out?
We could switch to it for this combat pretty painlessly. If I take the average monsters initiative they'd be at about a 12 which is where Monk 4 sits.
That'd make the new (simplified) initiative order:
Mordred, Denna, Lonhro, The Monks, and then everybody.
Other things: Until (and if) Dena shows up again I'll NPC her turn for her. Mellar, sorry about your incorrect map placement I thought you were beside Lonhro out of the tent. I guess I should show you in the square between Lonhro and Dena inside the tent.
Seeing as how Dena, Radoslav and Mellar all have to deal with the tent first it doesn't really matter if they'd posted out of order for the first turn anyway. So, if we use Lonhro's system then we just need his action and then I can adjudicate Lohro, Denna and Mordred's actions, then the monks, then Radoslav and Mellar's.
At that point Dena, Mordred and Lonhro would need to post again before anything/anyone else. Then I would resolve their actions, followed by the monks. After that all the players would get to make another post and things would be rolling on fine as described by Lonhro.
How's that sound to everyone? As with anything in this game, if we try it and don't like it we can always try something different next time. And the more I look at Lonhro's suggestion vs. the overly complicated approach (from a PbP perspective) that I was originally going with the more I see the appeal.
EDIT: To keep my life somewhat simple and because traps are fun for the DM :) if we switch to Lonhro's system we'll still say the monk#2 went first and collapsed the tent but I won't give him another action until the monks as a group go for a second time.

at 15:28 | Re: Back to gaming!I like the method. It does make for a streamlined and better experience.
As an alteration, I play in a game with a large group (eight PCs) who recently fought another large group (8 unique NPCs) and we broke combat down into groups. The top four initiatives of the PCs were Group 1, the top four of the NPCs were Group 2, lowest PCs Group 3, lowest NPCs group 4. Group 1's average Initiative was higher than Group 2, so they went first.
Group 1 would post their actions, then the DM would resolve Group 1 & 2's actions in a post. Then Group 3 would post their actions, the DM would resolve those and the actions of Group 4. Rinse, repeat. It worked out spectacularly, and helped keep what was a larger battle very organized and easy to follow.
I would suggest that if we ever get into battle with multiple significant NPCs.

at 07:26 | Re: Back to gaming!Ok, I guess we're going with this system for now. So the PCs are up. Once everyone has taken an action I'll do the monks and post the rounds results and so on.
Radoslav, I was thinking somewhat along those lines too. If there are very distinct groups of baddies then we may break it down a little more than PCs vs. Enemies. But I think we'll save it only for the most important times as every division potentially slows the game down a little bit.

at 06:30 | Re: Back to gaming!Lonhro, and others: Monk 1 and 4 are down from a sleep spell and 5 and 6 are down from a color spray. Monk 2 is gutted and Monk 7 has left the combat area for now. #3 is the only currently up and active opponent and he's currently getting the better of Radoslav.
So, if you (Lonhro) want to go for #4 you can Coup de Gras him if you'd like or you can move to and engage #3 who is in range of a move action.
Sorry for not making it clear who was effected by the sleep spell in the first combat round.

If you would rather not kill the baddies I don't see why you couldn't coup de grace for non-lethal damage. There helpless, so you get a free crit without a roll, so there's' no reason why you couldn't declare a non-lethal attack. I think the same rules would apply:
Critical Damage, Non-lethal. If the target does not fall unconscious they need to make a fort save of 10+damage dealt or fall unconscious.
I'm going to post the next turn as is and Mordred, if you would rather deal non lethal damage just let me know.

She seemed one of the most interested in the game from the very beginning and also seemed the type that if something made her decide she didn't like the game anymore she'd have said so before leaving.
As far as the game goes, I'd rather she were playing but the adventure calls for 4-6 players and can be scaled for more or less so the game can continue without her.
Does anyone know if its considered against the rules to send a player who has stopped logging in/posting rMail?

Perhaps we should have a group agreement that after a certain amount of time (suggestions?) when in combat the the GM (I) should just step in and make a post for them to keep things going. It's less of a problem out of combat because everyone can just carry on the roleplaying and exploration regardless. Combat though is slow enough and kinda needs full participation.

at 08:44 | Re: Back to gaming!I can't speak for the others, but I'm happy for you to put me in total defence or just hit something generic (your choice) whenever I can't post within a respectable amount of time. Why don't you make it a 48-hour thing? You post every 48 hours and anyone who hasn't posted in that period goes into total defense OR (at your discression) uses their sword/mace, etc. I certainly won't bark at you if you're posting for me because I'm unavailable. I also respect the possibility that my death might ensue because of something you do with me in my absence. I can live with that as well.
48 hours is a fair period for everyone to get a post in. It's not as if they are being kicked out of the game for missing one period, but it will ensure you are able to post every 2 days. The more regular it becomes, the fewer people will miss the cutoff :).
That sounds fairly reasonable to me. Let's face it, I think everyone here is aware that if you are only able to post every 5 days then this game is pretty pointless because we will never see the end of it :)
Just my two bits worth.

My main concern is that this adventure, while overflowing with cool story and characters and secrets and stuff is, on the surface at least, a dungeon crawl which means plenty of combat. Which, as we all know, is always the slowest part of any kind of RPing experience.

at 07:38 | Re: Back to gaming!I don't know about XP after each encounter but I do plan to try and give it out at least every few encounters or so. I'll be trying to total up the accumulated amount soon, hopefully today (my time anyway).
There are also XP bonuses for non combat things built into the campaign. Some are for certain accomplishments like discovering a secret or puzzling out a problem others are sort of side-quest rewards. There won't be giant red flags waving to tell you about these side quests but I might let you know about the reward for them after they've been accomplished.
As for RPing I think there will be a reward for good rping also available. The game recommends a cap of no more than 50xp per player per PC level and I'll probably try to stick to that guideline.

Everyone has earned 675 XP so far. It should be noted that this does not include Dena who didn't really do much anyway and who it seems, given the length of absolute silence, is probably not rejoining us.
I was planning on having her leave you when you returned to Cillimar but if you'd like her to stick around as an NPC ally then I'll have to recalculate the XP for 5 party members instead of 4 and give her her fair share.

The sword is a longsword, sorry I forgot that.
I was wondering when someone would ask about the stenchpots. :) I think you found some earlier as well with the first crew of bad guys but no one seemed to pay them any attention.
The stenchpots are sealed clay jars or pots that have a faintly smelly odor to them. You suspect that if one were broken open it would stink to high heaven. Possibly they are some kind of thrown weapon designed to help incapacitate foes?
If anyone's got any knowledge alchemy they could perhaps learn more.

As far as the Dena situation goes
I think Lonhro's voted on dropping the character (and I think that means carrying on with just the four of you)
Mellar seems to be thinking about trying to get a fifth, either a replacement player or player + character (If we did that I'd probably go with whole new character its early enough it'd be easy to write someone in)
Radoslav and Mordred have yet to voice an opinion.
Also, it should be noted that if you decide to go with just the four for now it doesn't have to be a permanent choice. If you guys decide later you'd like another player to join I can always make it work.

MW Chain shirt - Lonhro
MW longsword - Lonhro
MW quarterstaff - Mordred
MW short sword - Rado
Shortbow - to be sold
20 arrows - to be sold
potion - mordred (at least until he can identify it)
3 symbols of dawning sun (i'll carry one of these in case we need to show it to somebody but they seem worthless otherwise)
5 stenchpots - Rado
1 key - Rado (hold onto it until we find a door :p)
How does that look?
also, as we are swapping out stuff, the following are likely to be sold too:
Lonhro - chain shirt
Lonhro - rapier
Rado - (maybe or maybe not a wpn replaced by the short sword)
Mordred - quarterstaff.

2) The first prisoners had some gear too.
3) Mordred's quarterstaff (as well as all the other non-MW quarterstaffs are worth nothing and therefor can't really be sold.)

at 07:23 | Re: Back to gaming!Ok, I placed an ad looking for a fifth player.
In a little while (today sometime) I'll get you all moved back to town and your goods offloaded and such. (unless you're attacked on the way)
Radolsav, I think I can come up with a way to keep Dena around town. And heck, if we ever find out what happened to her maybe she'll be able to rejoin. It was an interesting character and she seemed like a good player.
One note about XP, I'll give the new player the same XP as I've already stated you'd earned which will put you slightly ahead of where you should be for a 5 player group but that's ok, it won't be enough to matter.

at 13:38 | Re: Back to gaming!Can I suggest, then, that Mellar take control of the 'party fund'? You would be responsible for simply carrying it, keeping count and paying people money out of it :)
If you're happy to do that it can start when we get some cash from all this gear. I'm not suggesting that everything go into it. We can divvy up the gold and people can take their share, but anyone who is happy to can lodge it or a portion of it) with Mellar for party use.
I find having some sort of 'party fund' usually means better purchasing of gear for the team anyway. I don't mind if I'm not the one getting it :)

at 14:21 | Re: Back to gaming!I'm OK with managing the fund. Mellar would be too. In past games I've played in, the 'party fund' either received a full share, or a half-share, or simply anything that did not split evenly. (9 gold found among 5 party members. Each member gets 1, while the fund gets 4.)
Which way should we run it?

at 15:47 | Re: Back to gaming!So I thought as we're currently trying to get a fifth player that we might as well RP through this, your first return to Cillamar. To that end, a new thread has been started.
As for the loot I went back and checked myself and compiled a more complete list:
15 Stenchpots
9 fake symbols of the Dawning Sun
57 gold
9 pp
6 Chainshirts 300gold
A MW Chainshirt
Studded Leather 12gold
Ikenvar's Sword
MW Shortsword
MW Quarterstaff
Shortbow 15 gold
20 arrows
potion
key
14 light riding horses 525
The numbers after the entries are what you can expect to earn for selling these items. I'd like to keep to the rules suggested system of simply selling at half price for now.
So, once everything has been sold you'll be looking at 909gold and 9 platinum.
For simplicities sake we can call that an even 1000gp total. This assumes you sell the horses, shortbow, and regular armor but keep everything else. I'm afraid the arrows are going to be bought by anyone, so I guess they're pretty useless.

at 15:00 | Re: Back to gaming!Well Lonhro, the city, as far as I'm concerned, could either be a complete auto-pilot backdrop or an entire extra layer of the game, depending on what you folks wish to make of it. For now, if you wish, you can just say what you sell, what you'd like to try to pick up (if anything) and if there's nothing special anyone wants to do then we can move right back to the castle. If you want, we can even gloss over the meeting of our new player: You spend the night at the Slumbering Drake again and there talk a bit about your adventure and meet the Barbarian lady who would like to join you. Seeing as you guys could use the muscle you all say 'cool' and the next morning away you go.
So, everyone just clarify for me a final time what you're keeping, I'll give you the value of everything else and let me know if there's any shopping you'd like to do. We'll move on quickly. If anyone does have anything they want to explore about the town that's ok too.

Happy (my vote-wise) to gloss over everything you mentioned and have it summarised OOC, including new player introduction :) Let's get him/her in and let's get back to the business of conquering the ruins ;)

at 04:26 | Re: Back to gaming!Sorry for the slowness folks. Especially considering we were going with the trying to go faster option. Good news is that I'm done giving exams and am now basically on vacation for a couple months. I've got paperwork and grading to do this week but my schedule is mostly my own (although family will still take the lion's share of course). So I should be back to full speed.
As for your profits (and correct me if anything is wrong here):
Selling:
9 Horses for 338gp
7 Chainshirts for 350gp
Studded Leather for 12gp
Shortbow for 15 gp
Wagon for 18gp
rapier for 10gp
plus 57gp and 9pp
for a grand total of: 800gp and 9pp
Also, don't forget that people taking or selling equipment should alter there character sheets accordingly. The above totals assume that you are also selling Lonhro's chainshirt and rapier.
Split the gold according to your desires and just drop a note in here OOC about anything you want to buy. Standard equipment should be no problem, if you can afford it nicer stuff might be available too, just ask. Anything really fancy (and this goes for the future too) might need to be made to order or found and either way take some time.
In the interests of getting back to speed I'll simultaneously start the new IC thread and you can all do your shopping OOC while exploring IC. Do the shopping quickly though so that when the IC gets to a place where your purchases might matter they will have already been finalized.
Any problems just let me know.

There is a potion seller who sometimes operates out of the Slumbering Drake. He's not from Cillimar but, oh what's this, he happens to at the Slumbering Drake your night in town. His cleric based potions are a little pricier than normal but he does have some.
Here's his inventory the night you're in town (it may be different in the future) oh, and his name is Quintus.
POTION PRICE # NOTES
Cure light wounds 75 gp 3 Caster level: 3
Cure moderate wounds 450 gp 2 Caster level: 5

Also, when Lonhro and Radoslav purchase their potions from Quintus he mentions that he'd be interested in purchasing any potions you find at either half price (standard rules) or in trade in value for other potions. If you elect to trade he'll give you 75% of the regular price. He could also identify potions without much hassle, being a potion making master himself. He'd charge a nominal fee for that service of say, 10gp, which he'll wave if you decide to sell or trade the potion to him after its identified.

at 02:37 | The Action this roundIt seems important so I thought I'd give an update on the action this round:
Mellar will be hit, and almost critted for 8 damage - that was really really scary when I popped up a 20 on the AoO.
He's not taken out though which means he does get his heal spell off on Mordred which will bring Mordred back to 5hp (he was at -3 this round). So Mordred, you can take actions this round, which is good.
Lonhro's attack will hit, the beasts AC is 13 so that will do some solid damage even with its DR.
Ok, Mordred, Ealga, Radoslav - do something great before I have a TPK on my hands!

I didn't NPC her when I last posted because it was 2:00am my time and I wasn't up for doing any more posts anyway so I figured I'd make it a last chance kind of situation.

at 02:18 | Re: The Action this roundOk folks,
I sent an rMail to Ealga's player and removed them from the game. I've also finally removed Dena's player from the game too. Strangely enough Dena has actually been logging in a few times over the last week but has continued to ignore PMs and rMails, including offers to come back or even just be moved to lurker if they no longer have the time to play but want to keep up with the game. That frankly annoys me so anyway, they're both gone. We are again back to just 4, and a currently NPCed bruiser.
I'd like to suggest that if you again want to try for another player that we offer one of these characters to the player who wanted to take over Dena the first go around. I suggest this because that person is playing in another game of mine (the pathfinder one I started at the same time as this for the extra players who wanted in to the Whiterock game) and is also GMing there own games or is GMing at least one game here that I'm playing in myself. The person isn't a blazing fast poster or anything but I'd put them in the category most of this group seems to be: steady and reliable. Likely to be fast and frequent at times and slightly slower at others but unlikely to disappear on us as the last two fifths have.
Another option, if the group remains against a take over (and hey, I understand, not a big fan myself), if I could make a character for this player, with input from you guys on what you'd like to see in your party's fifth.
Or we could go back to one of the other replacement candidates and see if they're still interested, though at this point I'm finding myself in less faith in adding unknown elements to what is, I think, a very nice group.
Sorry to be long winded, GM necessity sometimes.
Oh, and let's not let this slow us down. You've just won a very scary combat that almost killed at least your mage and cleric!

A key problem with rpol are the folks as players and GM who just stop posting. It gets very annoying and leaves the other players stuck waiting for them. In the last 4 months I was in 5 games where the GMs just disappeared - sometimes popping in again and again and never posting. I've also been in several games that just stopped because players disappeared and can't be bothered to give the GM a note that they are leaving - which is rude.

I should point out that the RP bonus is for good roleplay and is above and beyond the the xp you get for dealing with things like traps, non-combat encouters and challenges, and completing various story and side-quest objectives or events.

at 04:12 | Re: The Action this roundI am flattered you think me beefy, but my beef won't really scale up that much as I level up unless I steer away from my current bard build and pick up some fighter (a chance I suppose). I would still therefore like to see a biffer in play. I don't mind what you want to go with, DM. If you think your friend is reliable and will post consistently (which for this group I think means within 48 hours of a DM post), then by all means add him in. I don't mind if he picks up Dena, but I would check with him and ask him what he prefers. I'm not fussed on picking up existing characters myself and maybe he, too, would prefer to start a new character. My only request is that it be a frontliner (which Dena is already) :).
Looking forward to this next level!

at 12:51 | Hate to leave.I just got out of a meeting with my boss. They are closing the site down where I work. The deadline is as of now, January 1, 2011. It's generally regarded as an unresonable deadline, and is expected to be extended to July 1, of 2011. (The company has leases on most of the buildings through the end of June 2011.)
However, my boss is proceeding from the position that some or all of us may need to be in new positions by year's end. He believes that while the employees may be out by year's end, our IT company, which has 2 years left on a 3 year contract, may be here to close the doors. But not all of us will be needed for that.
If they officially close in June, the site firm will only have defaulted on 10 months of the last year of the contract. Which they may just settle, rather than pay rents on the buildings for another year.
Anyway, what my boss wants is for us to concentrate on training, getting certified on as many things as we can. Which means little to no goofing off anymore. I'm going to have to quit this game, and several others I am in on this board.
I'm sorry, but that's how things have to be for now. I have to focus on my certifications. Sorry guys. I don't have the time at home, and now my job skills need to take priority over the next 5 months.

at 13:33 | Re: Hate to leave.Wow, that's terrible news for us (you're a great addition to the game) more so for yourself of course. But obviously this is just a game and you've got a family to take care of. Being employed certainly helps with that. I'll just say, I hope things work out for you. Also, if 5 or 6 months down the road you are able to pick up some hobby time again drop me an rMail and hopefully we can work something out. Also, you certainly don't have to use it but I'll switch you to lurker access so if you ever feel like a quick pop-in to see how things are going or just to say hi, well you'll have that option at least.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As for those of us left behind, this certainly puts a serious crimp in our game. I was going to offer the bruiser spot to my other player/gm but obviously now we need a whole other character. I mean, four is certainly fine to continue the game but I assume you'd like a cleric around. Of course, healing potions and wands can certainly help fill some of the gap but divine magic does more than that and turning undead can be nice too.
One thing off the top of my head is I could go to the same well for water twice and offer another player from the Kingmaker game (who originally wanted in to this game) a spot. There are 4 active players in that game but one of them is an off-line friend who I ran through the Whiterock campaign in our table-top group, so he can't join. Of the other three there is the one I was already going to ask and then the other two. They both seem like nice enough people, I just figure I'd offer this spot to the more frequent poster first.
We could go the advertisement route or back to some of the previous applicants but my thought is that going for the known qualities first best ensures getting a good player for the game.

at 14:08 | Re: Hate to leave.Mellar, good luck with all that. Hopefully fortune will favour a return to online gaming for you down the track as it's obviously a fun thing for you.
DM, I suggest we try your method of recruiting from your other game where people have a reasonable track record to date. If the initial person that is joining will be a frontliner, then the next person you recruit will have to be the cleric pretty much.
Given that we have the need for two new people to come into the group it might be an opportunity to allow them both to roll up new characters (rather than take one over) and they can join us at the same time without having to go back to town? Just a thought, as we need to make a big change and it may as well be all at once to prevent the game bogging down. They could be rolling up whiile we continue on.

at 14:19 | Re: Hate to leave.I'll definitely deus ex machine gun (as a friend of mine would say) them into the game no matter what method of character creation we go with, I'll give them the situation and the options and let them decide how (and if!) they want to proceed. The way I figure it Dena and Ealga are both up for grabs (though only one of them!) if either player wants either one. As for the cleric type well, I'd prefer input from Mellar, if possible, and Lonhro - how would either of you feel about someone else playing Mellar (and Lonhro's brother)? Dena and Ealga have not been good to us and their characters are ours to do with what we will as far as I'm concerned. Mellar the player though has been nothing but respectful to us so I wouldn't want to do anything with Mellar the character that he'd rather we didn't.
I'm not even sure that either person would want either any of the characters (though I suspect the one might like to take over Dena as they had mentioned that before). But I'd just like to know what options I should present them.
Anyway, in the interests of expediency Mellar will join Ealga on auto-pilot for now, I'll start the recruitment drive and the remaining party members can continue their explorations.

At this point you might as well let the two new characters create new characters if they will fit spots that will make the group well rounded. As for the party it might be best for the current party to return to town until the two new players are set up.

at 15:11 | Re: Hate to leave.I've left the option of what the two new players do, take over or make new ones, entirely up to them. If you, Radoslav and Lonhro wish to explore right now that's totally cool. I don't want to see the game have to slow down because of this. I assume I'll have an answer from my two prospects within 24hrs or less so hopefully the transition can be quick. In the event they *want* a takeover of either character who is with you then they can jump right in. If they make new characters then its easy to say that one or two other people came wandering up to the ruins, or perhaps, hearing of your first exploits some down on their luck adventures come out to ask if they may join you, or perhaps Dena, worrying about her former companions in her absence, has been keeping an eye out for potential candidates and sent some along OR, well there are other options too...*insert knowing DM smile and devious eye twinkle*

The remaining three can feel free to make suggestions on what you'd like them to do OOC as well. Now that they are going to be officially NPCs for the time being I can also have them do things whenever I/we would like. Before I was sort of forced to wait until the end of every combat round in hopes the actual player would get involved.
Speaking of what we want them to do, Ealga too some damage in that fight, should we have Mellar heal her or hoard the healing power for now.

at 16:39 | Re: Hate to leave.If he is healing they can.
Spontaneous Casting: A good cleric (or a neutral cleric of a
good deity) can channel stored spell energy into healing spells that
the cleric did not prepare ahead of time. The cleric can “lose” any
prepared spell that is not a domain spell in order to cast any cure
spell of the same spell level or lower (a cure spell is any spell with
“cure” in its name). For example, a good cleric who has prepared
command (a 1st-level spell) may lose command in order to cast cure
light wounds (also a 1st-level spell). Clerics of good deities can cast
cure spells in this way because they are especially proficient at it.

The Pathfinder: Kingmaker game that New 1 and New 2 are joining us from likewise has lost their fifth player, a two-weapon ranger. The rest of that party is a summoner, a druid, a bard, and an oracle so as you can see they too really need a fighter. So, I just thought I'd throw this out here, if any of you would like in on a Pathfinder Adventure Path game just let me know. I can't really choose between the three of you so it'll just have to be a first person to ask for the spot gets it situation.

at 05:44 | Re: Hate to leave.BTW, just in case it was missed before in all the confusion with people being kicked out, having to leave and newly joining, I wanted to again take a chance to remind player of the options to take 10 and take 20. You can also use these options for rolls you've already failed (or think you have) that allow rechecks. Taking 20 in particular assumes you are trying many times over and over again. Just remember that a Take 20 requires a much longer commitment of time and isn't an automatic success if something is just beyond your ability (20s and 1s not being automatic successes or failures for skill checks). Just pointing this out because I find many players tend to completely forget these options. Don't forget there are also options for aid another (which I might sometimes do for you in a obvious situation so we don't have to wait on it) and just because one person fails at a task doesn't mean someone else can't try (unless its a one shot only situation).

Right now for the transition I've assigned Mellar and Ealga to their new players but kept the New 1 and New 2 personas until they're fully settled in. Those "characters should disappear in a day or so. I've moved Mellar's old character to a character called Temporary which I'll either be renaming or removing and putting him on lurker status.
Ok, so our new folks have a little be of a feeling out process to do but they can participate and do that at the same time so -> game on!
I don't have much more time right now but I'll have more to say to Ealga and the new Mellar when I'm back (nothing you have to worry about feel free to post!). Also, just wanted to say that my weekend and overall access is much greater right now as I have almost no work until September (ah, the life of the University Teacher in Korea) so if you're around feel free to post, I'll probably get to things sooner than you're used to (which you may or may not have already started to notice).

We just returned and began exploring again when we ran into a giant skeleton, that almost killed us. But we won again. Now we are just going to the stable, where our horses and wagon are and resting. We used up our healing after the skeleton fight. I think that is where we are.

Also part of the story was that the party, before setting out for the Castle where they had decided to start their adventuring career together, met a drunk (whom some had heard of before) named Arien who claimed to have been kidnapped by slavers and ended up in the hands of orcs somewhere under the castle. He had been going to try and join the order of monks who had moved into the castle recently (now about a year ago) but was captured before he ever got there.

at 10:42 | The Story So Far Here's that summary I promised. Figured I'd put it here for our new and old players alike. It may not be a perfect record of every important detail but I tried for it to be.
In the Inn of The Slumbering Drake
* The party came to Cillamar, a sort of boom-town of possibility for fame and fortune, by various routes meeting on the road and agreeing to work together to explore the nearby ruins of Castle Whiterock, a very old site about which many rumors swirled.
* They met Lady Chauntessa, proprieter of the Slumbering Drake and supposed ex-adventuring sorceress herself. She offered to pay for any all all books or similar things from the ruins and area of Whiterock.
*They also met Arien, the town drunk, and heard his tale of slavers and orcs, who supposedly had white skin and gray hair in a most un-orclike fashion.
At the Castle
*At the Castle’s “front door” the party were met by representatives of the monks who had been reported to be living in and searching the Castle for about a year.
*Some party members quickly realized that these “monks” were but putting on a show and became wary of the situation.
*The monks claimed to be of the Order of the Dawning Sun, a group dedicated to the preservation of knowledge and were at the Castle because it was the site of an ancient monastery of their order.
*After some standoffish discussion the greeting monks went to get their leader but actually came back with some more men and attempted to ambush and capture the party. Some party members did spend some time caught in a net trap but eventually the party managed to win out against 6 of the “monks” who fought more like simple brigands than monks. Interestingly enough the enemy made use of non-lethal damage in the battle. Several of the monks lived through the fight, having been incapacitated by Mordred’s magic.
*After the fight the party searched for means of binding the prisoners and discovered in the stables the evidence of what the “monks” truly were. After finding wagons fitted with cages and manacles it became apparent that they had actually found a nest of slavers.
*At about this time Mordred also made the discovery that the strange white-stone walls that gave this place their names were infused with a magical aura.
*Further exploration brought the party into conflict with Ikenvar, the half-orc apparent leader of the slavers, a slaver lackey and Melchin, an apparent true monk – though likely not a member of the Order of the Dawning Sun
*After this battle the party discovered that all the slavers, though not the monk, had a large, full-back, tattoo of two bloody and manacled hands. Also, Mellar made the realization that all of the symbols of the Dawning Sun carried by the “monks” were in fact fakes.
*At this time the party decided to bring their loot and prisoners back to Cillamar to get a good rest and to get rid of the living slavers in their custody.
Interlude 1: Return To Cillamar
*Upon returning to Cillamar the party turned the prisoners over to the captain of the Gate of Sorrows (at the time) and he identified them, via there tattoo, as probably the last remnants of the Iron Manacle, a vile cult of slavers.
*Dena, the parties Paladin, decided that she needed to stay in town for some personal reasons, and promised to give testimony at the slavers trial, thus freeing the party to return to the Castle after a good nights rest.
*Loot was offloaded and the party met another frequent patron of the Slumbering Drake: Quintus, the old traveling potion salesman.
*The party also met a barbarian by the name of Ealga who, upon hearing their tale of the battle with slavers and in need of something to do here in “civilization” asked to join the party on their return to the Castle and was accepted.
Return to Whiterock
*Upon returning to the castle the party discovers that the “front door” was left open. Someone had come or gone or come and gone and left the door open since the party had left themselves.
*After stabling their horses the party first went to explore the room that their last opponents had come from. Inside the found a simple but comfortably appointed bedroom/study with another door in it that apparently entered the bottom of one of the two towers still standing at Whiterock.
*While claiming an everburning torch Radoslav discovered a secret passageway leading out of the room. Exploring it the party found another room within the caldera wall. Apparently it once (and could again) connected to the main hallway of the inner complex but a roof collapse had blocked the way.
*In the room the party disturbed and had to do battle with a giant owlbear skeleton. The fight was nearly the last for Mordred and Mellar (and possibly the others as well) but the party was victorious in the end and managed to avoid the loss of any of their number.
*After the fight the adventurers felt a rest was in order and in the process of gathering fire supplies from Ikenvar’s room Eagle the Bear managed to find both a scroll with a magic spell on it and pouch with some money and gems. Settling in for a restful afternoon and night (hopefully) the party could only wonder, what would they find tomorrow?

at 22:45 | Re: The Story So Far A fast forward is fine with me.
Seeing as how there seems to be so much hidden loot I must ask: How thoroughly did you guys search the areas you've explored so far?
Have those unfortunate enough to have fallen in battle been looted?
If the boots of the dead are in decent enough condition Ealga will take them and consider them part of the collected loot. What can I say? She appreciates decent leather work. And those with bare feet are often willing to pay handsomely for a good pair of boots. Plus, she's a woman, and women love shoes :)

at 05:15 | Re: The Story So Far I haven't gone back and checked the posts specifically (they're not that far back in the current thread) but the party hasn't actually expolored or searched most areas. They've been stuck trying to deal with enemies. There was some cursory examination of the desk that failed to find the scroll but that's about it. I think they were planning more but got distracted by the secret door and then by the almost dieing.
The bodies of both the dead and the prisoners were thoroughly looted. I don't think there are any boots left around as either they'd still be on the feet of prisoners back in Cillamar or on the bodies of the few who were killed and I have presumed buried. I presume this because the party intended on returning to the castle so I don't think they wanted to leave bodies around to start rotting away and attacking vermin, scavengers and disease.

at 12:55 | Re: The Story So Far He's probably lucky he missed. Now it'll keep on concentrating on its first target. Also, Mordred looking at the two first level spells you've got memorized - you could definitely target a 10ft burst in such a way as the sleep spell only effected the creature (especially as its large) by simply targeting it behind the beast. Similarly, I'm sure you could target a 15ft cone to avoid harming your friends as the only one engaged with it at this point is Eagle. However, you would know that unless something really extraordinary is going on neither of your spells would effect the creature because it is a vermin and thus almost assuredly mind-less. So, you're in the same boat anyway.

That's another stupendous hit for the wizard with the stout oak but I hope for your sake someone hits the Mantis harder than you do! Otherwise the big nasty might have you for lunch.
I'm going to be a nice GM and point out that after you whack it something fierce you have the option to take a 5 foot step backwards and out of reach (as Eagle is still right in front of it). You aren't on difficult terrain yet (the mantis is right at the very front of the tower) and it doesn't have reach (which, if I haven't pointed out yet, you and Mellar would both know anyway because you totally rocked out the knowledge nature checks I rolled for you.

at 14:30 | Re: The Story So Far Heh everyone,
I know sometimes things happen but as we are in combat (and anything called a "Dungeon Crawl Classic" is going to have at least its fair share of sword and quarterstaff swinging) it really is important to try and keep things going.
It can be a little frustrating to see people checking in but not posting. There are really two basic reasons I was thinking this might be happening (let me know if its something else that we can work on):
1) The player is very busy and really can only just check in, perhaps in an inconvenient way, like on a phone.
2) Players might be preferring to wait to see what happens with other players first for tactical reasons given the first in first out nature of a combat round as we're doing things.
In case its the second I'd like to offer the option for *some* conditional orders. I don't want people going crazy but if, for example you're the cleric and you're worried about someone getting dropped on an AoO then you could post saying you'll attack BLAHBLAH at the end of the players turn if no one has been dropped, otherwise you'll heal the dropped person.
I'm just making that example up off the top of my head and typing quickly so hopefully you get what I'm going for. I shuold probably remind you all that readied actions are also still acceptable. As per normal D&D rules you can choose to ready an action based on some kind of trigger event. If the trigger occurs then you do you action.
If its the first problem, well I understand but I also don't want the game being dragged to a standstill and potentially damaged in the process. Combat is a particularly sensitive time for a PbP game. So, I think I'm going to enact a rule whereby if a certain amount of time has passed and people haven't posted combat actions then I'll just have to step in. Unfortunately, combat requires everyone's regular participation or the whole game freezes. Perhaps a double rule: after x amount of time without logging in the GM will do an action for you when in combat or waiting on something only your character can do (like check for or disable traps); the GM will also move things along a shorter x amount of time after a player logs in without posting.
Thoughts?

at 20:01 | Re: The Story So Far That sounds fine to me too :). You could say you'll update combat say 48 hours after your previous post, and anyone who hasn't posted in that time will have their action decided and enacted by you. 48 hours is more than enough time for anyone to post, and it limits how much time everyone else will be waiting for slow posters.
If you find you are consistently posting for someone in particular, then you can look at other solutions.
Just a suggestion :)

at 08:13 | Re: The Story So Far Awesome! Just a query on hit points, are we rolling from here on in, or max, or something other? I thought there was mention of this somewhere at the beginning of the game but I can't seem to find any refernce to it.

at 10:14 | Re: The Story So Far Uh, I'm not sure, nor can I find either, what I may have said about HPs in the beginning. Usually my table top group goes with roll and reroll if its under half. That obviously ensures that everyone gets better than average HPs but I don't see that as too much of a problem.
So, unless someone's got some strong complaints against that system its what I propose. Roll for your HP but you keep rolling until you get half your max possible roll or better.

That actually makes me pretty happy. I like magic items being special things you discover much more than simply handed out with a full instruction manual. Sort of an older school approach I guess.

Chainmail
Greatsword
Backpack
50ft of rope
Dagger
Studded Leather
MW silver longsword
longbow
30 arrows
Potion: pass without trace
Potion: healing type
Potion: transmutation type
DM, given some of this is unlikely to be claimed, do you see any merit in creating a treasure thread, where we can list those items not claimed that will be sold when we reach town again? It would expedite treasure sell-up when we do.

Such a thread would certainly have merit. One note though, if no one takes something to at least carry it then it stays were you find it or tell me you bring it to. I do want everyone to keep track of weight carried and stuff. So if you do take stuff or otherwise alter your equipment lists please make sure you mention it and actually alter the lists on your character sheets.

at 16:18 | Re: The Story So Far Ok, I made the Loot List as an open notice thread. This was a good idea Lonhro because even I'm getting confused and the Loot List should help keep things straight.
Things I'm no longer sure about:
Who, if anyone is carrying any stenchpots and how many? What have you done with them otherwise? (The weren't on the sold list earlier in this OOC thread)
Who, if anyone took the MW Chainshirt from the first looting?
Did you guys ever figure out that potion from the first go round? Who has it?
And then there's all the new stuff to decide about, most of it remains unallocated.
Any other problems/questions?

Like the potion from the first fight I'm still not sure what the end result of that was. Gotta go back and read carefully to figure it out now...
Oh, and Eagle's suggestion of stashing the look in the secret passage is probably a good one.

Not that I'll punish you for killing them, I mean, they're orc slavers and you're outnumbered! But I just wanted to be clear on your intentions this time.
Also, as you said your spell lasts longer now - 20 rounds to be exact. I've yet to see a combat ever go that long, but having four big strong orcs at your back would probably be a bad thing.

On a related note it has now been a long time since the new Mellar had made any appearances anywhere I know of so I'm going to ask around to some people I know in other games who play with the player in yet other games to figure out what the general consensus is. I'm starting to think that the position of 5th player is just cursed though.

at 00:41 | Re: The Story So Far Yeah, I sort of decided awhile ago that I'd give the new Mellar until the 1 month mark (normally I wouldn't give so long but the player was a known active RPOLer as both GM and player across many games and not just the ones I was involved in). I assume as we rapidly approach that date that I'll be player hunting very soon.
As for Hugin he will accompany you if you like. He would also be willing to guard slaves for now and accompany you afterwards. While Hugin could certainly be turned into a PC he could also just as easily follow you for awhile as an NPC. (And as a true NPC I'd probably be far more active with him than I am with PCs on autopilot).

I'll cover him for now for combat to move forward. I just noticed something though about Eagla's post. Eagla you can't five foot step back because Mordred is right behind you. You could move back into the room but you'd be leaving Mordred and Lonhro on the front line for this round. If you can get back quickly on what you want I'll let you choose, when I check back later though I'll move the game on assuming you move back to the closest legal spot if I don't hear otherwise.
We have a new Mellar by the way! So that's something at least.

at 02:25 | Re: The Story So Far Here is my original recap for the last new player (hi Ealga!) so I figured this would be good for our new Mellar and Radoslav.
Here's that summary I promised. Figured I'd put it here for our new and old players alike. It may not be a perfect record of every important detail but I tried for it to be.
In the Inn of The Slumbering Drake
* The party came to Cillamar, a sort of boom-town of possibility for fame and fortune, by various routes meeting on the road and agreeing to work together to explore the nearby ruins of Castle Whiterock, a very old site about which many rumors swirled.
* They met Lady Chauntessa, proprieter of the Slumbering Drake and supposed ex-adventuring sorceress herself. She offered to pay for any all all books or similar things from the ruins and area of Whiterock.
*They also met Arien, the town drunk, and heard his tale of slavers and orcs, who supposedly had white skin and gray hair in a most un-orclike fashion.
At the Castle
*At the Castle’s “front door” the party were met by representatives of the monks who had been reported to be living in and searching the Castle for about a year.
*Some party members quickly realized that these “monks” were but putting on a show and became wary of the situation.
*The monks claimed to be of the Order of the Dawning Sun, a group dedicated to the preservation of knowledge and were at the Castle because it was the site of an ancient monastery of their order.
*After some standoffish discussion the greeting monks went to get their leader but actually came back with some more men and attempted to ambush and capture the party. Some party members did spend some time caught in a net trap but eventually the party managed to win out against 6 of the “monks” who fought more like simple brigands than monks. Interestingly enough the enemy made use of non-lethal damage in the battle. Several of the monks lived through the fight, having been incapacitated by Mordred’s magic.
*After the fight the party searched for means of binding the prisoners and discovered in the stables the evidence of what the “monks” truly were. After finding wagons fitted with cages and manacles it became apparent that they had actually found a nest of slavers.
*At about this time Mordred also made the discovery that the strange white-stone walls that gave this place their names were infused with a magical aura.
*Further exploration brought the party into conflict with Ikenvar, the half-orc apparent leader of the slavers, a slaver lackey and Melchin, an apparent true monk – though likely not a member of the Order of the Dawning Sun
*After this battle the party discovered that all the slavers, though not the monk, had a large, full-back, tattoo of two bloody and manacled hands. Also, Mellar made the realization that all of the symbols of the Dawning Sun carried by the “monks” were in fact fakes.
*At this time the party decided to bring their loot and prisoners back to Cillamar to get a good rest and to get rid of the living slavers in their custody.
Interlude 1: Return To Cillamar
*Upon returning to Cillamar the party turned the prisoners over to the captain of the Gate of Sorrows (at the time) and he identified them, via there tattoo, as probably the last remnants of the Iron Manacle, a vile cult of slavers.
*Dena, the parties Paladin, decided that she needed to stay in town for some personal reasons, and promised to give testimony at the slavers trial, thus freeing the party to return to the Castle after a good nights rest.
*Loot was offloaded and the party met another frequent patron of the Slumbering Drake: Quintus, the old traveling potion salesman.
*The party also met a barbarian by the name of Ealga who, upon hearing their tale of the battle with slavers and in need of something to do here in “civilization” asked to join the party on their return to the Castle and was accepted.
Return to Whiterock
*Upon returning to the castle the party discovers that the “front door” was left open. Someone had come or gone or come and gone and left the door open since the party had left themselves.
*After stabling their horses the party first went to explore the room that their last opponents had come from. Inside the found a simple but comfortably appointed bedroom/study with another door in it that apparently entered the bottom of one of the two towers still standing at Whiterock.
*While claiming an everburning torch Radoslav discovered a secret passageway leading out of the room. Exploring it the party found another room within the caldera wall. Apparently it once (and could again) connected to the main hallway of the inner complex but a roof collapse had blocked the way.
*In the room the party disturbed and had to do battle with a giant owlbear skeleton. The fight was nearly the last for Mordred and Mellar (and possibly the others as well) but the party was victorious in the end and managed to avoid the loss of any of their number.
*After the fight the adventurers felt a rest was in order and in the process of gathering fire supplies from Ikenvar’s room Eagle the Bear managed to find both a scroll with a magic spell on it and pouch with some money and gems. Settling in for a restful afternoon and night (hopefully) the party could only wonder, what would they find tomorrow?
Since then the party has fought a big preying mantis and found a way down to a lower level through the collapsed tower that was its nest. There they've found an establishment of orcs keeping slaves. They killed some of the orcs and freed the slaves and are now progressing through the rest of the orcs and hoping to free the other slaves they have been told are down here working on some mining operation.

There are still 2 thunderstones someone may want to carry.
Also, Lonhro has the new unidentified potion. There is still the original unidentified potion floating around in someone's pack. Finally there is a potion of cure light wounds and a potion of pass without trace hanging out somewhere.
If someone could claim these it'd make my life easier. Also, I'd like everyone to take a look at the updated loot list, make sure their personal equipment lists are updated and then tell me so and I'll adjust the loot list as Lonhro suggested a while back to only contain the things the party intends on selling and not keeping.

Caninrok
GM, 289 posts
Sun 19 Sep 2010
at 04:27 | Re: House CleaningEalga composite bows are made with a certain strength bonus rating. A standard 100gp bow is str +0. Bows with higher ratings add 100gp of cost per +1 of strength bonus.
The advantage is that you may apply up to the bows rating of your strength bonus to damage for its attacks. The negative is that if your strength bonus is lower than the bows rating you suffer a -2 to attacks as you struggle just to pull the string.
On the other hand a +2 Composite Longbow would be a magic longbow with a +2 magical enhancement bonus that added +2 to attacks and damage.
In short, because Ealga has a 15 strength you can use this longbow as normal for your attack rolls and add your +2 strength bonus to its damage. But it is not a magical bow.

at 14:29 | XP TimeOk folks, still need input on the loot and confirmation that your personal equipment lists are up to date. I know some of you probably haven't seen the posts about this yet but I'm just mentioning it to note that if you haven't you should probably read any of my above posts you may have missed.
This post though, is about XP, and quite a nice chunk of it!
I was kind of surprised about this but the 5 of you (well, your characters anyway) have, in fact, dealt with 8 normal orcs, a special orc and three trollhounds. You've also freed a bunch of slaves.
So, these acts have earned you...(drum roll please)...795XP putting your total at 1820XP. So, you're about 61% of the way to 3rd level. I don't know about you folks but I think that's pretty cool. So, again those numbers are:
795XP awarded now.
1820XP should be everyone's total thus far as no one has had a reason to have a different total from the group as a whole.

There are 20 such cells, each composed of thick iron bars but no doors. The tops of the cages are wooden beams, perhaps four inches wide. There is an access corridor along the west wall that provides a route to the other side of the room. However, a pair of portcullis, currently lowered, block the way. Doors are located in the southwest, southeast, and northeast corners of this chamber, and a pair of archways are on the south wall."
One of the slaves had mentioned that the portculises are controlled by levers in the Minotaur's room, which is through the door to the north.

at 08:31 | Re: XP TimeYou can cross the tops of the cages with balance checks to get across at half speed. If you use the planks from the storeroom the DC is only 5 so everyone can do it with a take 10. Without the planks only Lonhro and Radoslav could do it on a take 10. Everyone else would have to roll for it, failure would result in falling 10feet into a cell and taking 1d6 nonlethal damage.

BTW - looking at Mellar's character sheet it is a tad sparse. When I started this game I let the players use whatever style they preferred for the character sheet. You are welcome to transfer it to an actual full sheet to better keep track of things if you like. Same goes for Ealga.

at 12:45 | Review of CombatHmm, if that's the case then we've all got confused, which is certainly possible what with some new players involved. A brief review of combat procedure:
I will roll all the initiatives and then any party members who beat the bad guys get an action.
Then the bad guys get an action.
Then the whole party is up again.
Then the bad guys.
Then the party.
etc...
Its been quite a while but you may remember Mordred that Lonhro taught us this method and its been the one we've been using. I also thought I was clear in the OOC comments of the current combat what was going on. If I was confusing I'm sorry and I'm also sorry if I forgot to explain the slight modification to combat that we use in this game to the new players.
For reference so far in this combat:
1.Radoslav opened the door and discovered the minotaur, thus starting combat.
2.Ealga, Lonhro and Mellar got to go before the Minotaur
3. The Minotaur attacked (and missed)
4. Now we are here, its the party's turn again. Lonhro and Mordred have posted actions, Mellar, Radoslav and Ealga must also post (in any order). If the minotaur survives he'll get his actions after they players have all posted theirs.

at 07:59 | Re: Review of CombatThe stats for the stenchpot are:
Stenchpot: These small clay or glass pots are filled
with an alchemical mixture of troglodyte gland oil and
skunk musk. If the pot strikes a hard surface or a crea-
ture with a successful ranged touch attack, it breaks,
dousing the target or area with an oily, reeking sub-
stance. The pot has a range increment of 10 feet (max-
imum 50 feet), and if a square is targeted, the AC for a
ranged touch attack is 5. All creatures within 5 feet of
the targeted square must make a DC 10 Fortitude save
or become sickened for 5 rounds. A creature struck
directly by the pot suffers a –4 to this save. Each addi-
tional pot that affects a creature incurs a cumulative –2
penalty to a new save.
Creation of a stenchpot requires a successful DC 25 Craft
(alchemy) check and access to an alchemical laboratory,
plus the required troglodyte gland oil and skunk musk.
Stenchpot: Price 25 gp; Weight 1 lb

at 14:02 | Re: Review of CombatThere's no duration for the mechanical effect of the stenchpot so, while it'll stink and suck you can move through it on the round after its initial effects.
The only duration is that the effected orcs are now more susceptible to another stenchpot effecting them, so you can move through Radoslav. (though beware the potential of readied actions.)
Oh, and anyone who wants to move into the room can declare part of their movement and then I'll update the map information and you can have the rest of your movement/action in a second post if you like. I know that's a little awkward and slower for a PbP game but sometimes I like the idea of you guys not knowing exactly what's around that door corner until you properly should.

GM, 308 posts
Thu 30 Sep 2010
at 15:01 | Re: Review of CombatI don't think it should be nearly so effective as alchemist's fire. Checking the rules on throwing oil as a weapon and also seeing as how the campaign had some rules made for the minotaur tossing a lantern himself here's what I can offer you:
Treat this as a grenade attack. If it hits an adventurer (or the target square), it causes one point of damage and there is a 25% chance the lantern breaks. If it breaks, the target (or target square) catches fire and suffers 1d6 points of dam
age. The target burns for one more round unless the character spends a full round extinguishing the fire with a Reflex save DC 15.
It should be noted that most of the stone floors down here will not catch fire and burn but the room you are currently in with the hay is definitely a fire hazard. Throwing the lantern at an orc or something that will obviously burn would put them to best effect.

Fri 8 Oct 2010
at 04:45 | Re: Review of CombatHmm, I thought, given the way you left the castle that the bearskin rug remained left behind, but its not a big deal so I'll let you have it. Also, under the rug was a locked lockbox. The key recovered from the orc whose room it had been unlocked it and inside was a pouch of 47 gp, a scrimshaw carving of a nixie (wroth 125gp), a box of four carefully wrapped thunderstones, and a bottle of dwarven deepwine (worth 35gp).
I think there was also the dog and pups left behind with unlocked cage, though no way out of the room with the doors closed. It had enough food and water to last for some days but they will eventually die if left uncared for in the kennel room.
The magic items question is a little tricky. I'm always a little loathe to go for the standard D20 idea that you can just buy whatever you want whenever you want. On the other hand magic items are obviously very important to players. Luckily, the demographics of Cillamar make me a little more comfortable with the situation.
The single item gp limit for Cillamar is 3000gp
The total community wealth available (for buying/selling combined) is 400,000gp
There are caravans and traveling merchants, the grand bazaar, hawkers row and some weapons and armor shops where magic items may be found. 3000gp is fairly low so I'm comfortable letting you buy items under that limit in town, I don't think that should be unbalancing.
If you want to spend more than that though you'd either have to travel to another town (and really, even the capital of Morrain isn't all that big) or find someone who can do custom work.
I will offer a third option as well. The traveling potion salesman whom you've met, Quintus, could probably see his way to taking commissions to find you things you want. You'd have to tell him and he'd source it on his travels and bring it back to you. As it'd be being made custom by one of his sources you would need to wait for the item to be actually made before Quintus could return to town with it for you. You'd also have to pay a premium of at least 10% to Quintus for doing all the leg work for you.

Quintus could also be useful if you acquire something that is simply unreasonable to try and sell in Cillamar.
Also, I should point out that the option 2 in my above post about finding someone to custom make things for you yourselves is probably very very difficult and/or unlikely. There are very few known powerful arcanists in town and they're likely to be folks like the Patriarch's personal wizard-advisor. Who is obviously unlikely to be spending time filling out orders for adventurers.

at 22:25 | Re: Looking for a New-New-New MellarHey folks. Sorry to be quiet for awhile, I've been waiting to see what kind of options came in for filling our Mellar slot. I've chosen someone whose rtj answers I liked and if they haven't changed their mind in the last couple days we should be back to a full crew again.
Sorry if the current players have been waiting on me, this is one of those strange circumstances where I was also feeling like I was waiting on hearing from some of you! Ah, RPOL, it does have its problems.
Anyway, lets get back to speed here.
So we've got a MW Orc Double axe and a MW Chainshirt to definitely sell.
What about the 6 thunderstones (2 currently in Mordred's possession), the scrimshaw carving of a nixie (125gp)and the bottle of dwarven deepwine (worth 35gp)?
Was there anything else to sell? Anything anyone was hoping to buy?
You've also found: 755sp and 85gp in coins.

Sell:
W Orc Double axe
MW Chainshirt
Scrimshaw carving of a nixie (125gp)
bottle of dwarven deepwine (worth 35gp)
I thought we had this taken out with the slaves up to the wagon. But we might
have left it. at our level this gear amounts to a bit of cash.:
From the 8 orcs: I did ask in game to take the pile up to the wagon with the slaves, but not sure:
8 sets scale mail
8 two-handed morning star
4 heavy crossbows
6 guisarmes

at 04:49 | Re: Looking for a New-New-New MellarOk, sold loot + found coins = 1112 gp and 755sp
So, by my calculation a full share is: 222gp, 155sp
The above share calculation assumes you are continuing to keep a party fund at a full share, as had been previously discussed (though there has been some party turnover since then). But of course, its your characters money to wrangle over as you all see fit.

at 07:01 | Re: Looking for a New-New-New MellarUh, I might be wrong but when original Mellar suggested the party fund I think *you* suggested that he manage it. :) So I guess its currently with Mellar, but you might want to take over that as we still don't have an official Mellar at this point.
The current party kitty, as listed on the loot list, is: 9pp and 60gp
So with the new funds (minus 10% for the former slaves) added in the total party kitty now stands at: 9pp, 259gp, 147sp, 5cp
A player's share minus 10% for the slaves works out to: 199gp, 147sp, 5cp
Seeing as you are in town I'm just freely changing one coin to another to make proper change and even splits.

I have Profession: Cook, but I have yet to see a profession skill be used. In the rules it is only for getting money, so far as I can tell, and I'd rather do that by killing things... I can see a use for a Profession skill if the DM interprets it as getting around in society, getting on with people, say if I changed it to Profession: Priest.
But, perhaps I could just change those spent ranks to Diplomacy?
Ah, and...shall I put that 'Loot' scoll on the sheet? Can I actually use it?
Also, the party has just come into the money. Should I do something about this? Do I get a share? :) If so, can I spend any of it?

at 04:57 | Re: Looking for a New-New-New MellarMellar, the profession skill on your character sheet was more of a character flavor thing than an attempt to get any particular advantage. Mellar and Lonhro grew up in an inn if I'm not mistaken and Mellar learned the ins and outs of the kitchen there.
Profession skills could be used like knowledge skills for some limited or narrow applications or again as you mentioned could be useful when dealing with relevant people or places. I won't make you keep it, if you don't want to though.
Yes, put the scroll on your character sheet and as far as I know CMW is on your spell list and therefor you can use a scroll of CMW with no difficulty.
Yes, you definitely should get a share of the money, as should Radoslav, as both characters have been here earning it from the beginning. If you want to spend any of it just tell me what you want and I'll let you know if its available. Potions can be bought from Quintus (though he may not have everything available at one time - anyone interested in potions let me know and I'll provide his current list). Just about any mundane equipment can be bought in town that's under the above mentioned GP limits. Just let me know first, almost anything should probably be fine.

Mellar and Lonhro grew up in an inn if I'm not mistaken and Mellar learned the ins and outs of the kitchen there.
Profession skills could be used like knowledge skills for some limited or narrow applications or again as you mentioned could be useful when dealing with relevant people or places. I won't make you keep it, if you don't want to though. |
With skills in such short supply in 3.5, I would like to change that if I may? Apart from anything else, I don't have any ranks in cooking :)
I might be interested in turning it into Profession:Healer - that could be fun because it'd command a certain amount of respect. The alternative would be Diplomacy, a pretty useful skill to have.
I'm still looking at that Combat Casting feat. I've never had it in a character before so I don't know how useful it is. I'd be inclined to change it to Scribe Scroll, to start stocking up a bit up.

In that case, I have a few little items of business with Quintus.
1) I'd like to buy 2 potions of Cure Light Wounds if they're available.
2) I'd like to buy a potion belt (ref: Forg. Realms Campaign Supplement, page 96 give or take. 1 pound weight, 1gp cost) if it's available
3) I have the unidentified potion I'd like him to help me with.

at 02:47 | Re: Looking for a New-New-New MellarYes, Quintus is in the Slumbering Drake again (there may actually be times he's not available, but this isn't one of them).
His current Stock Is thus:
Potion Price Quantity Avail. Notes
Cure light wounds 75 gp 5 Caster level: 3
Cure moderate wounds 450 gp 2 Caster level: 5
Magic weapon 50 gp 5 oil
Jump 50 gp 6
Delay poison 400 gp 1
Blur 300 gp 2
Mage armor 50 gp 4
Barkskin 800 gp 1 +3
Invisibility 300 gp 4
Keen edge 750 gp 2 oil
Water breathing 750 gp 2
Resist energy (fire) 700 gp 2 20 hp of fire damage
Bull’s strength 300 gp 2
Being a wizard he sells divine potions a bit higher than standard market.
He'll identify potions for free if you're doing other business with him.
If you have/find potions you don't want he'll buy them at 50% market value or trade from stock at 75% market value.
The unidentified potion from the orc with the hounds is a potion of bear's endurance.
You can buy one of those belts in the bazaar.

at 03:00 | Re: Looking for a New-New-New MellarOh and Ealga, I just wanted to point out that there actually has been a fair amount of time for word to spread.
You, Mellar and Radoslav (the players of these characters that is) may not know this but the party had returned from the Castle with slavers in chains before Eagla joined the party. Then they spent a day or so in town before trekking back to the ruins to do more exploring and eventually finding and fighting the orcs and freeing some slaves. Then another (slower) journey back with the slaves brings us to now. So, if anyone in town was allied with the slavers they would have known after the first trip that their allies had been defeated.
Also, when returning to the Castle the party discovered that the "front door" was ajar. Someone had either entered or left via that exit after the party's original departure. (msg#8 in the Return to Whiterock thread)

I'll go pick up the potion belt from the bazaar.
If anybody thinks they want the Bear's Endurance potion before I make the swap feel free to speak up, I just think it's probably not as useful as some healing potions. But I was kind of only carrying it, and if someone wants it instead of a healing pot I odn't mind :)

You can still have them, but as they are divine they should run at 75gp each, not 50. You may not want to buy a CLW potion if the party is cool with Lonhro's idea of exchanging the bear's endurance for 3 CLW potions.

The secret way to the orcs' slave pits was discovered in the base of the fallen tower.
The room with the double-doors and the single door with the dot was where you fought the owlbear skeleton but you didn't explore anything else in there.
The door with the dot looks newly repaired and reinforced.

at 19:47 | Re: AFK againYou are, at the moment, walking around looking at the interior of a tower referred to by the DM in this message immediately preceeding your post:
| Caninrok: | Heading back in to the, mostly roofless, inner compound the party retraces its steps to find itself again in what you assume was the slaver's leader's quarters. It was here that you acquired the everburning torch and discovered the secret passage that distracted you from exploring the tower. Again Radoslav checks the tower's door and discovers it is unlocked and apparently safe to open. Doing so and entering the party finds that the ground level of the tower is 30 feet in diameter and the room is empty but tediously clean. Overhead, the open tower stretches to the sky for at least 100 feet. About 10 feet up, the partial
remains of a shattered wooden floor are present but otherwise the tower is naught but literally a shell of its former self. |
I believe he is talking about Tower 2 the one we've been in before. I suppose he could be talking about the fallen tower, but there's just no way he's talking about tower 1 because we haven't found it yet.
So, assuming he is talking about tower 2, I have simply moved a little further ahead through the east door given I can't see anything of interest happening in the empty tower 2.

at 02:34 | Re: AFK againDrat...looks like I messed up a little.
Ok, Radoslav had said he was going to check out tower 1, I read it/assumed it was tower 2 he was going to check out as the party had yet to find anyway to access tower 1. By that I also meant the party had no way yet of getting there. No easy/safe way anyway.
Radoslav, tower 1 is poking out of the top of the caldera wall (thats what the solid black is). Its visible base is much higher than anything else which is on the map. So, before going to check it out you'll need to find a way up there, some kind or entrance from down here, or make a very difficult climb up the caldera wall.
Everyone else, probably largely because of what I wrote afterwards, also assumed you were talking about tower 2. After looking in tower 2 and your search turning nothing up, decided to go down the short ex-secret hallway to the room with the door with a dot on the east wall, the double doors on the south wall and the rubble pile on the west wall. The party had previously been here and fought an owlbear skeleton that animated when Radoslav approached the pile of rubble.
Ok, so I think that should help clear up the problem. I'm sorry about the mistake I made, but for the sake of simplicity I'd ask that we assume Radoslav did in fact go to tower 2 and everything else has happened as written.
Rad, if you'd like to look for a way up to tower 1, just say where abouts you'd like to start searching and we'll see what happens. Again, sorry guys but these are the kind of things that will happen sometimes in a PbP game.
Finally, Ealga, no - no one has searched the "Ancient Ruins". They appear to be the completely dilapidated remains of some building/buildings. From the distance they look to be little more than the crumbling remains of some walls and a generally rubble strewn "interior". They look much older than the other ruined buildings in the courtyard.

I think Mordred would be pretty sure that Lonhro is safe from that spell. Of course, if I'm wrong about you having sleep memorized then ignore this.

2) Tiny bit of game-related good news, I'm continuing to get better with the usefulness of layers, albeit in a very basic way, but every little bit of evolution in my skill makes it easier for me to do updates and makes me able to do them faster so that's a very good thing.
It's almost embarrassing to admit this, but I just realized in this past update that it I simply make a map of the entire level and then toss an all black layer on top of it I can erase the black as you guys explore. Much faster than my old method of basically starting from scratch and editing for each new update or at least each new section.

Mellar healed 10 so you should be back at full hit points and 7 non-lethal. If your current hps fall below 7 again before those non-lethal are dealt with you'll fall unconscious again.

at 16:52 | Re: AFK againNon lethal damage should be kept track of on a separate track than regular hit points. Your HP total goes down when you take lethal damage. Your non lethal track goes up when you take non lethal damage. So if your non lethal ever exceeds your current hit points you fall unconscious.
So your HPs are currently full: 17/17 Your Non-lehtal total currently sits at 7
NL heals at the rate of 1 point per hour per HD or Character Level, whichever is higher. Any spell that heals HP also removes an equal amount of Non lethal damage.
About the only thing a heal check could do for NL damage is double the healing rate while resting.

Sorry for those I have been leaving hanging. Work has eased off with the end of term, but this has left me feeling burnt out rather than filled with vim and vigour.
I've been busy tying up loads of loose ends at work and have barely been able to open this site, not through lack of time but through some strange inner reluctance; hence my lack of posting.
My diagnosis is that I'm feeling a bit burnt out.
So, I'm very sorry for the inconvenience caused. I'm tying to sort this out, but i can't really make any promises at the minute.
Cheers,

at 03:44 | Re: AFK again I'm not sure how active folks are going to be
this week so I want to wish everyone a Merry Yule!
For the first time in 456 years on the Winter
Solstice — this Tuesday - there will also be a full
lunar eclipse. I'm not sure how visible it will be,
because it depends where in the world you may live,
but such events are special.
So may you all enjoy well the ending of the old
year and soon the birth of a new, and hopefully
a better year! Merry Holidays!

at 17:45 | A Player Change!This Post is to inform all the players that there has been a change in players controlling Mellar.
As the latest incarnation of Mellar has not shown any activity in over a month it was time to go looking again. Luckily, I think we have the best possible replacement for Mellar's player as the new-new-new-new-new (I think) Mellar will be played by (drumroll please).....ORIGINAL MELLAR. This news is probably most interesting to our other original players Mordred and especially Lonhro. I hope now that the strange, weird tale of the curse of the Mellar character will have finally finished in a wonderfully strange way.
On with the show!

at 02:55 | Attacking GrapplersYep, you can attack people in grapples, its actually easier because they take ac penalties (denied dex bonus) against anyone not involved in the grapple. Making a ranged attack against grappling people is dangerous though because your attack has equal chances to hit either party.

at 14:50 | Re: Attacking GrapplersAh, so the other 'orcs' on the map are the female orcs, falling all over themselves. I thought they were enemies.
What would happen if I cast my entangle spell in here, where there are no apparent plants. Would it fail? Reduced effect, in either area, duration, or something else?
The spell works in a 40 foot radius, so would cover 80 feet diameter. Since I can't see the maps, can someone tell me if this would catch any allies, if used to it's full area.
(As ascii map would help.)

As for entangle it does need some kind of reasonable plant life to work so in a situation like this it won't help. That's not to say you won't find places where entangle will work as we go along, just not here.

Tue 25 Jan 2011
at 23:22 | Re: More XP That was said in character responding to a question.
Right now - I'm out of spells. I need to rest and memorize a new set. We have left treasure in several places saying we were going to pick it up on the way out. Some of the treasure is bulk (weapons and armor, and needs several trips to haul it out and put on our wagon. With no one chasing us it seems a safe time to get it out.
We have a wagon and horses. Using them it is not hard to get back to town.
It seems this is a good point to rest so why not gather the treasure and rest in town and come back a lot richer, with renewed spells rather quickly? It would also give us an opportunity to check the two books we found to see if there is anything special about them and/or to see if the innkeeper is interested in buying those books. She wanted any books found in these ruins.
Yes, we need 215 xps to hit 3rd. We may have it or just miss it. But I don't see an advantage of trying to hold up here, another night with watches in the ruins, when we have injuries and could just go to town.
Even if we took two or three days in game, we could be back here tomorrow searching the ruins if we just gave the gm a note agreeing to what we planned to do after getting back to town - yes, best laid plans always go astray...
These are just my (the player not the character's thoughts about what we should don.

Wed 26 Jan 2011
at 01:32 | Re: More XPA couple GM notes:
1) IF you wanted to go back to town we could do it in a finger snap without even needing another thread if we are clear on what you want to do there.
2) There is an apparently active mine just down the other corridor with people working in it right now. In case anyone's forgot this includes the remaining slaves.
3) It is logical to assume that since you've probably now killed the leader these orcs will be in some disarray when they discover this fact. That could mean many things. For example they might argue for a day or two about who the new leader is, they might decided to flee this area feeling its too dangerous, they might have other allies to call upon or who tell them what to do.
4) Perhaps most important, there's always some chance of running into someone/thing down here as you move about so no matter what you choose to do if anyone is in dire straits HP wise its probably best to drop a healing potion or spell on them, just in case. It might end up being "wasted" if nothing comes across you but if a fight breaks out you'll be pretty glad you were prepared. At least I'd suggest that anyone beat up keeps a potion of healing readied to use at the first sign of trouble
5) Oh, one more - what are you doing about the dog? It's only KOed right now, not dead. (Though it is hurt)

Wed 26 Jan 2011
at 04:55 | Re: More XPI did not realize we could hear the folks mining... I missed that and so that is my fault.
We have a problem if we want to free the slaves. Once the orcs discover the female slaves behind the bars - they will panic - if they decide to move they could either take the slaves with them - or even kill them in their rage over the killing of their leader.
If we want to rescue the slaves we have to go on before the female orcs are discovered.
We need to determine if we have the strength to go on. So how far down are folks from being healed and do we have the means to heal them? I am not injured but all I can do is use my staff.

If we get attacked, we get attacked, and we can decide at that point what to do about it. My main interest at this point is to avoid dragging the decision whether to rest or not out for yet another week OOC.

at 15:23 | Re: More XPRadoslav, the slaves are probably being moved to the slave pits (where the orc women apparently are now). You heard mining sounds early before coming in here to deal with the orc chief so these slaves are probably finishing their work shift now. There's no way to be 100% certain right now but there is probably only one crew of working slaves since you freed what was effectively the "other shift" on your previous assault and exploration down here.

If sneeking isn't an option she hopes to get a surprise round with her arrows. Of course she will be cautious enough to pay attention to the # of orcs there are first.

You also have some thunderstones and stinkpots that might be useful. You also have the advantage of surprise and terrain that you might be able to put to advantage.
Course, they have potential hostages.
Anyway, I won't punish the party no matter what path you take.

at 06:02 | Re: More XPA little DM prodding to help you along here. The "slave pits" as I refer to them are the prison cells where the slaves stay when not working. If you leave the throne room you'll come back to the main tunnel and be able to go right (east) to the mines that you haven't explored yet or left (west) towards the areas you've been through.
You're second rest was short so the slaves and majority of orcs, if they haven't fled, are probably back in the slave pit area resting before another mining shift. Of course, their routine might have been changed by your path of destruction through their lair.
Also, I think Mordred and Ealga's have done this already but could everyone make sure their entry on the status thread is updated. I want to get back to using that thread more and I think it'll be useful for everyone to be able to see the current conditions of everyone else.
Let's get going now, 3rd level is (almost literally) just around the corner.

at 07:12 | Re: Even More XP! And a Level!I generally run with the idea that anything may be but probably not everything will be allowed. Basically, if you're interested in something you're welcome to ask about it, and I give the ok far more often than I drop ye ole banhammer. Unlike some GMs I don't hate 3rd party. In fact, a lot of the 3rd party stuff that I own I find to be far better put together than a lot of WoTC official material. I should note that the Spell Compendium and Magic Item compendium seem to come up with things I'm far more likely to ban or require modification of than just about any other source I've ever come across. Of course, neither of those sources are likely to be relevant right now.
I guess the short answer is I take things on a case by case basis and don't have a list of completely acceptable or completely unacceptable books.

at 04:35 | Re: Even More XP! And a Level!Doh, forgot to answer an important question for Mordred that might apply to others (or will in the future) so I'll answer it now. Sorry Mordred!
He asked about the new spells he has access to and whether or not he can use them immediately or if he needs to wait for rest. My answer/ruling is that, because he has not expended those new spell slots since his last rest they are still available but because they have not been prepared they are currently empty. Preparation takes between 15mins - 1 hour depending on how much of you capability you are preparing at the time. In this case Mordred or, other arcane casters, have only a small amount of spells to prepare so the minimum time of 15mins is all that will be required.
The RAW (rules-as-written) specifically say that divine casters CAN'T similarly prepare spells later in the day than their standard praying time but I'm willing to waive that ruling seeing as how RPOL games are slow enough as is, (especially when your GM gets busy for a few days - as always, sorry! I do try my best, I hope no one is too frustrated by the pace). So, with 15mins of prayer Mellar can choose to fill any NEW spell slots as well.

Now what do you get the party that survives a year on RPOL...hmm first anniversary probably isn't The Tarrasque...Lich? No he's at least a couple levels down...maybe the first anniversary is the Troll anniversary. Seems a bit more reasonable. Though, The Tarrasque does sound fun.
Hmm, I'll have to give it a couple days to decide. :) Still have the taste of blood in my mouth after one of my players got himself disintigrated on Sunday in my Table-top Ptolus /w Experimental Rules game.

at 07:35 | Re: AnniversaryFirst off, which one of you paid off the dice roller?
Secondly, Radoslav (and everyone else) owes me one. If you're looking at the dice log things will look strange because I originally thought Tarik had beat the opposed check with Radoslav and kept hold of his whip. I had a little hunch as I went though and upon double checking realized that Radoslav forgot his +2 bonus that whips provide in disarming attempts. So, I backtracked and used the rolls I made for the things they should have been used for instead of what I originally named them.
That +2 bonus was just enough to make the difference and Radoslav disarmed the orc. To top it all off Ealga kept ahold of her ax by a difference of only one on the opposed disarm rolls! That plus the two people rolling natural 20s leads me back to my original question - Who paid off the dice roller?!

at 08:50 | Re: AnniversaryLonhro, picking up a weapon is a move action that provokes an AoO. So you can actually attack the orc this round if you like.

You are considered to be armed even when unarmed —that is, you do not provoke attacks or opportunity from armed opponents when you attack them while unarmed. However, you still get an attack of opportunity against any opponent who makes an unarmed attack on you.
This implies that without the feat (which you already said he doesn't have) then, attacking an armed opponent while unarmed youself provokes AoO.

at 12:50 | Re: AnniversaryYes that is true. In my previous post I meant that "Tarik the orc" won't be taking any AoOs against you players while he is without a weapon. You folks will still get them against him if he provokes them. If he tries to punch anyone the person he punches gets an AoO. If he tries to pick up his weapon then all adjacent PCs get an AoO. He doesn't provoke AoOs on disarm attempts though as he does have improved disarm. (though he does take a -4 for disarming unarmed because it =s using a light weapon. This is countered by his +4 to disarm for having improved disarm though).

She's mostly ok, wouldn't even be in the hospital if we were in Canada, but here in Korea doctors recommend hospital stays over pretty much every little thing and my wife, being a Korean, follows their suggestions. Anyway, that means I've been basically playing the single parent to a three year old for a few days now, leaving me without much free time.

Wed 11 May 2011
at 23:49 | Re: AnniversaryMellar, your last strength roll will get you to the place where the invisible creature is (though its a full round action to do so). You'll still be entangled
though. (An entangled creature moves at half speed, can’t run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. Casting a spell while entangled requires a Concentration check (DC 15 + the spell’s level).
Your travel domain power will let you move freely, as a move action, and keep you from the entangled penalties for as long as it lasts if you still want to use it.
Mordred, you can actually get rid of the webs if you want because the web spell is dismissible.
(D) Dismissible: If the Duration line ends with “(D),” you can
dismiss the spell at will. You must be within range of the spell’s
effect and must speak words of dismissal, which are usually a mod-
ified form of the spell’s verbal component. If the spell has no verbal
component, you can dismiss the effect with a gesture. Dismissing a
spell is a standard action that does not provoke attacks of opportu-
nity. A spell that depends on concentration is dismissible by its very
nature, and dismissing it does not take an action, since all you have
to do to end the spell is to stop concentrating on your turn.

at 00:30 | Re: AnniversaryI do want to use the power long enough to get the farthest side of the area the webs are covering. Or through them if possible. I want to get past the invisible target, if I can. Mellar has no intention of attacking the invisible dwarf, but instead hopes to get through the webs to prevent his escape. To do so, Mellar will 'double-move' until his is either out of the webs, or on the far side of the room. He will also avoid provoking OA's from the invisible dwarf. Again if he can.

There are the stairs behind the "throne room" of course and the mine shaft. In all honesty and in a moment of meta-gameyness I would hasten to remind you that at it's heart the game is an old school dungeon crawl and in old school dungeon crawls the further down you go the tougher it gets. That shaft goes down pretty far. I won't stop you from exploring it but beware that like most large area campaigns it is possible to find your way into areas that you probably can't handle yet.
I'm sorry to say that I hadn't clued in to Mordred's long absence. I'll start trying to hunt him down and see what's what right now.

Current Party Kitty: 9pp and 60gp <Carried by Mellar>
New Loot:
Chest hidden back under rubble: 550gp and 7 pieces of minor jewelry. Mixed in with the coins you also find a key -- that Radoslav discovered fits the lock to the reinforced door into the complex.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orc fight:
6 glaives,
6 heavy crossbows,
6 sets of scale mail,
50 bolts in a crate behind the wall,
28gp amongst the orcs.
We also have freed slaves waiting upstairs for us to get them to safety. I don't believe it would take any real time for us to say wew are going to town - selling the gear -- freeing the former slaves, making a report. Eat, sleep, recover spells and be right back to begin exploring the lower levels.
I am out of combat spells, so I will need to rest anyway to be of use. Just trying to get everyone on the same page. I will go along with whatever the party decides.

at 07:32 | Re: AnniversaryI'm back. Things back in Canada turned out way crazier than I expected. Had a couple, originally unplanned, road trips thrown in the mix and any time actually resting occurred at the lake and away from such things as internet. Sorry about that. Will update game momentarily, or in a few hours depending how fast I can manage it. Got to go drop buy a hospital to see a friends new baby soon. A quick return to down dealt with in a single fast-forward post is fine. As I said long ago the town is there to be interacted with, or not, as you choose. The potion seller will be in town so I'll make a list of what he's got available and you can just all say what you buy if anything.

at 01:29 | Re: AnniversarySo by my math if you are going with a 6 share split (assuming you still want to do a 1 share party fund) then you would all add 209gp,5sp to your personal funds and the party kitty would increase to a total of 9pp, 269gp, 5sp. Coins can be exchanged as you like.
Uh, probably best if everyone posts saying what they are buying (if anything). Even if you're not buying just post saying so and then I'll do a quick IC post taking you out of the dungeon and then back in a few days later.

I also got cortizone injections in my foot today (yes, this is as bad as it sounds when you have a phobia of needles) and my body shut down to repair itself (or it might have been in protest).
Tomorrow I'll suss out my wealth and looking to make purchases and will post such asap. I'd like make our next stint there a really long one, so I might but some healing if I can.

at 01:25 | Re: AnniversaryHmm, I think we've made a big mistake.
Was going to update the calendar and went back through the thread to see how long it'd actually been (answer: not long) and realized that there was a ton of loot that never got recorded. Now correct me if I'm wrong but in the entirety of the To Free Slaves (IC) thread you've never gone back to town, right? Which means that all the loot in that thread is still in your possession, right?
Well if that's true here's what I've come up with:
Heavy Mace
3 Heavy Crossbows
10 2-handed morningstars
masterwork whip
masterwork greatsword
40 bolts
2 whips
8 suits of scale mail
3 suits of chainmail
323gp
49 rough quartz (5gp each)
32 finished quartz (50gp each)
Chu-thuk's amulet (magic)
leather scroll case with a divine scroll of CLW(x2) and Lesser restoration
potion of gaseous form
Chu-thuk's 2 books (Which Lady Chauntessa will pay for)
10 flash pellets
5 smokesticks
I'm pretty sure that Radoslav has the MW Whip. The other stuff I don't know. The quartz is straight GP value. I assume you want to sell all the weapons and armor for 1/2 price as per normal. I assume you're keeping the potion and scroll. What about the pellets and smokesticks? What about the amulet? Any of my assumptions wrong?

at 03:58 | Re: AnniversaryOk, taking out the MW whip and the alchemical stuff Ealga wants that gives you a total of:
3032gp which divides up six ways to be:
505gp each and 506gp for the party kitty.
The price of an identify spell is 100gp for the pearl. I assume you'll want to take that out of the party kitty funds.
The result of the identify spell is that the amulet is an Amulet of Natural Armor+1
Ealga, the rules for the flash pellets are thus:
Flash Pellet: These small clay or crystal pellets are
about the size of a typical sling stone. They can be
thrown with a 10-foot range increment (maximum 30
feet), and if a square is targeted instead of a creature,
the AC for a ranged touch attack is 5. On impact with a
hard surface, the pellet shatters, releasing an alchemical
mixture of powder that causes a blinding flash. This
is treated as a flare spell (CL 1st) on the target square.
Creation of a flash pellet requires a successful DC 15
Craft (alchemy) check and access to an alchemical laboratory.
Flash Pellet: Price 5 gp; Weight 1/10 lb.

Standing in the courtyard in the sunlight of early morning you must now decide: which path of exploration beneath these stones will you take? |
I'm thinking the stairwell behind the throne, through the secret door. Any takers?
Edit: P.S. Ealga, or anyone, I have 1,000gp to spare if anyone wants to maybe acquire a magic weapon (if that's possible) or something equally worthwhile.

Now they were back again to the stone monstrosity and prowling the dark corridors once more.
I suppose you want me to take the lead ?. He was fairly alert and most of the time he spotted the little raised seams in the stone or the little flicker of light off a fine wire across the walkway.
He moves off towards the secret room behind the stair case.

Tue 6 Sep 2011
at 13:00 | Re: Anniversary714gp and 5sp would be the total for the trip back to town. There was actually two piles of loot to sell off, the small first recorded pile and the forgotten loot that was left strewn about the the dungeon that I assumed you actually took with you when you left.
So Mellar, your balance should be 753.5 gold - 225gp for the potions = 528gp, 5sp.
Forgot to mention Lonhro that the mushroom and gemcutting books were indeed the two books I had been talking about that I've assumed you sold to Lady Chauntessa.
Lastly, who is going to take that lovely amulet? Mordred mentioned Ealga but I don't think any official designation to its ownership has been made. I assume someone will take a useful item like that. (and properly record it on their character sheet and alter their stats accordingly)

at 03:14 | Re: AnniversaryHey sorry folks, I'll get an overall level map going ASAP but I wanted to point out that the door just down the hall from the junction you are at (which is on the combat map) is open - it's probably where the bugbears came from.
Also, someone has a light source, right? That would let you see that continuing on past that door, is another passage branching of in a slanted-left direction.
At the limits of shadowy light (60') down the side passage Lonhro is talking abuot you can see a closed door on the left.
I'd also like it to be noted in the loot thread who actually is carrying any of the loot or where you plan to leave it if no one carries it. If you do start hauling around all the loot don't forget weight and encumbrance.

1) I have noted as a heading exactly where we are staching the goodies. I figure if we find anything really valuable someone will pick it up, but all this encumbering stuff we will just pile up and lump it all out when encumberence and speed aren't as much of an issue.
2) For simplicity's sake consider Lonhro to be carrying the gold pieces that I denote in the loot thread. I'll throw it all into party kitty when we hit town. I'm not denoting it on my character sheet, I'll just add it up at the end.
3) I am heading down the southern corridor. Figure we may as well cover all side passages as we go so we don't miss anything :)
4) I will cast Light on my shield so we can see where we are going :)
Happy to change any of this if anybody wants to :)

My company has taken over for a whole department which had been messing up (PG-words, here) for the last year. We had to get everything fixed or replaced in the span of a month, so the warehouse could be cleared out by October 1st.
I thought I had mentioned I might be unavailable, but I didn't. I'm sorry. I'm back for some limited engagment the next two weeks. Hopefully after that, I will be back to normal.

According to my records, I have 3,145 xp, and the last time I received any xp of any sort was January 7, nine months ago.
Does that sound right? I would have thought I should have gotten some xp SOMEWHERE in that time so maybe I've missed some.

I've just realized I shouldn't have even made a common language group as there would never be a need to use it unless the group had a PC who didn't speak common somehow. All well.
To post in a specific langauge (again, don't bother using the common language group, that's just redundant) use the "insert a pricate line to" drop down box. There are three sections there now. Use the last one "the language group" section.
The code for it is [Language Elven: Type your message here]
Elven should be changed to whatever langauge is required. The languages have to be defined by the GM for the game before it works though. So far I've added Elven, Halfling, Dwarven, Celestial, Draconic, Goblin, Infernal and Orcish and will add more as needed.

at 14:17 | XPOk, I went back and checked and here's the deal. Lonhro your XP total seems correct, but your date is wrong. On Jan. 7th your total was 2350xp. It went up to 3145 on March 7th. Unfortunately no, I have not given out any XP since then.
So, after checking through all the threads I've come up with 1713xp that I owe each of you which brings your total xp up to 4858xp.
Sorry its not a level, but you are progressing at just abuot the perfect rate as for the campaign itself. I'll try and keep the pace going faster so that you can actually get through things more quickly.
EDIT: In case you were wondering the last XP award came in msg #567 of this OOC thread.

I thought of the tanglefoot bags but if i remember correctly they are fairly heavy for their size so will pass on them.
The cure light scroll could go into the party treasury for emergency need. The other gear?, still up for thought or who ever might be able to use it.

at 12:13 | Re: AnniversaryI think DM is struggling with Rpol lethargy at the moment. Hopefully after a guilt-ridden break from it he will be back refreshed and ready to rock :)

at 03:38 | Taking a two week Hiatus.Pretty much right Lonhro - and trust me it is guilt ridden. Really: I'm Catholic we do guilt right. The generic notice follows. I'd just like to say that this group in particular I want to come back to right. This would be the last game I ever drop - you're my number 1 game.
Hey all,
As is obvious I haven't been around (again). Fact is I just can't find the drive or time to come on and do the RPOL GMing thing. Mostly it's been a lot of personal stress. Partly it's been the fact that very little time in my life lately has been spent on just me. Whether it be relaxing or personal projects. I really enjoy GMing and the games I have on RPOL but I'd like to not feel like I'm facing responsibilities 100% of the time, even in my supposedly 'free time'. So what I'm going to do is take an official 2 week hiatus. I'm putting a specific time frame on this because I don't want to just leave the games hanging until the ambiguous sometime. After two weeks I'm going to get back on here and see what's what and try and get everything rolling again. I know I took a month long vacation not too long ago but that wasn't this. Hopefully in the next two weeks I'm going to get better control of my schedule and sleep habits, get caught up on marking for my classes and have my end of semester and exam time all prepped up so the job rolls smoothly. Etc. I hope everyone will be around when I get back - I've been gaming online with many of you for a long time right now and it is my hope to continue that. But I'd like to try and do something so that it will continue well. Not, the way it has been.
Caninrok. (Jeff)

at 15:20 | Re: Taking a two week Hiatus.Personally for me, I will welcome this, but it would've been better two weeks ago. I got handled the additional duty to help clear a backlog of depot cases, and it took me until now to get caught up. Day to day can be bad, but there now a chance each day to check in, and post. I can wait for 2 weeks. I'll pop in now then I hope.

at 02:12 | Re: Taking a two week Hiatus.Mellar, when I said "despite these precuations" I was referring to the precautions of the party as a whole. Ealga and Lonhro weren't so stealthy this time round either, so there's plenty of blame to go around. :)
