I think we are good on the party-member front, I think they are returning soon.

Crap!  Who turned out the lights?? >_<

In reply to Vanv (msg # 467):

Darkness spell from the necromancer.

I know.  Just sayin! :D

I am contemplating my next move...

In reply to Vanv (msg # 469):

Question:
Winter cast light on his hammer back @ post 279.
Is it still going, and if so how much longer.
Hoping that Light might counteract darkness, before he rushes in.

Duration is eight turns, or eighty rounds, which is wow! So yes, it is going strong. As to what will happen as you approach the dark, only experimentation will determine.

In reply to Ruddley (msg # 471):

Understood, and thank you for the clarification on duration.

I like the idea of the Redoubt, but at this time I'm incapable of devoting the brain power to map and track it the way I would IRL.  That's on me, but I'm not in the best place in life right now.

That seems to be going around, sorry to hear it. To be honest, mapping this place wouldn't help much, things move about, and you travel some pretty long distances some times. Don't feel that the lack of mapping hampers anything.

I'm in a game with a guy who is making us count everything, and I am really curious why an empty waterskin weights as much as two and a half empty leather backpacks.

A full wine skin weighs in at 5 lbs, empty @ 1 if I remember right.

That makes more sense, but the chart the DM is making us use clearly states it is empty.

In reply to Ruddley (msg # 477):

I always like the idea of light/encumbrance but always seemed to lose sight of it.
Like can you imagine carrying bows/shields/swords/quiver/sacks/backpacks/food and a 10 foot pole and then fighting?!  I can barely carry a backpack on a long hike let alone carry all that other gear, and then swing a sword and fight!


FYI:  This weekend I will be unavailable to post until Monday night.

Okay, see you Monday.

Expecting Arog and Ingwe to post, giving them a little time before I jump ahead.

No worries boss.  Crazy times we livin' in. ;)

FYI, everyone is back on the main map now.

Yay!

Is Remove Fear ranged?  I don;t have a PHB handy.

Touch, sorry.

That's OK.  I thought it was touch so I attacked instead.  Then I had a bout of doubt and wanted to know if I screwed up.

I probably should have chased down Ramzey and removed fear instead, but I also liked the idea of making fun of myself for running from battle.

Oops, finished the map, and forgot to post it. It is up now.

Are we still -1 to attack?

Yes. That was a prayer spell, duration five rounds. I think this is three since casting.

Sitting here wondering why the place was so dead today, then a thought crossed my mind. Double checked, sure enough, Saturday. I had no clue. Sigh...
