Back to the keep

Travelled back now.

Using Ring of Before - last charge - to restore Marsa's height.
Beginning identification of last few scrolls.

Find limited wish ring.

XP: none awarded for GPs.
Potion doses: 173 = 17,300 XP  (includes cards)
scrolls - 12 +1 ring = 1300
33 other items (+1 to +3) - -- x125 for +1...=40*100 = 4000

XP 22,600

Traps etc. - 100 per room x 35 rooms = 3500

Monster xp - say 30 monsters at 250 xp each - 7500
Howling tower XP also allocated - most characters levelled up in at least one class.

Total XP: 33,600
Divide by 7 characters = +4800 xp (less than estimate for 'Howling Tower') - oh well.
Say 5000; low balled as some items more than +1 value.


10:14, Today: Garek rolled 18 using 1d100.  Does elf want to leave party (75%)?

10:14, Today: Garek rolled 7 using 1d100.  Does elf wanted Elfeneld ? (33%).
leaves with +4 weapon that makes you kill cthulhu priests (he's a paladin).

Unlimited Revelation - at least 9000
Unlimited Omniscient Eye - at least 10,000
Could argue for say x2 cost bastardness multiplier.
can afford now...

Jaws - market value of 39,500 GS.
Probably - could do a 'swap' for above items with Wizard's Guild - who can't use but can see is powerful and ancient item.
-Trip to T&T world for a week.
-non-dangerous enough that can go via DE and spend a week having a party in Khosht.
-deducting 500 GP

Also sell 10 suits orcish full plate @ 250 each [=2500]
Bought 4 'smog' potions (bombs)(11*4*100 =4400 GP each).
While we're here - any possible T&T adventures that are useful ?

Sage: giving him poison resistance (Naked Doom)
12:17, Today: Garek rolled 4 using 1d6.  random monster check. [just him + Antaeus - no cave dragon which is good]

Pending:
-Heaven Harp (100,000 GS) - sell in Arduin world to get that price.
-'Ordryn - +1/+8 weapon - reformat into other weapon type (Kelarn trip)

12:21, Today: Garek rolled 2 using 1d8.  random char - CC event.
Gaynor affected.

21:14, Today: Garek rolled 1,3 using d4,d10.  Gaynor event.
Character has a misadventure on another planet. Select details on Table 522: Otherworld Events. [R]

-rerolling as inapplicable

21:21, Today: Garek rolled 3,4 using d4,d10.  revised event.
The character has a romantic encounter. Go to Table 18: Ah Love to find the details of his romance. [R]

21:26, Today: Garek rolled 2,11 using d3,d20.
21:26, Today: Garek rolled 11 using 1d20.  second event.
21:28, Today: Garek rolled 2 using 1d20.  reroll duplicate result.
-beloved is of a different social status (roll); already married to another
21:30, Today: Garek rolled 69 using 1d100.  social status. [+7 if 'decadent' -
probably a merchant's daughter in T&T world, etc.

21:37, Today: Garek rolled 97 using 1d100.  Likelihood Lynn is OK with sharing (25%).
-under circumstances (partying in Khosht) - everyone is drunk, Gaynor bangs a merchant's daughter. Results in severely hurt feelings on Lynn's part.
-children thing causing friction in relationship already
21:40, Today: Garek rolled 20 using 1d20.  Marsa - Cha check to prevent PTA from disbanding.
Result that Lynn and Gaynor can't continue in same party. Garek - can see his side of it, but also she's his sister.
Marsa: burning a 'fate point' - edits die roll automatically to a "1".
As otherwise he'd be likely to retire permanently to T&T world.
-although with complication she (likewise) has a husband.

-Lynn is actually consistently unreasonable when she has the chance (like the original).
-using Cha..
Assume they quarrelled and then Gaynor picked up, offending her.

Party - opens door, closes immediately.
Hydra - commences breaking down door.
Say breathing 1-2x plus forcing body through into corridor.
Essentially would count as about four of its attacks.
Garek, Gaynor in forefront.
16:06, Today: Garek rolled 2,1,8 using d20,d20,d20.  attacks on Garek (bites).
2 - miss (7 HD). 1 - roll fumble.
16:09, Today: Garek rolled 39 using 1d100.  fumble result. - 'flexible weapon entangles itself' (stuck in door d3 turns)
Scimitar attacks..


16:12, Today: Garek rolled 3 using 1d20.  Garek scimitar.
16:12, Today: Garek rolled 11,6 using d20,d20.  gaynor scimitars.
16:13, Today: Garek rolled 1 using 1d20.  saving throw.
[nat1; Vokal's scimitar destroys totally. Should work as undead - 'as magik']

Room 10
Danger sense - 17.
Danger sense detects danger in room. Telepathy useless, and sage fails; wracking brains to study room, life force detector registers slime as a life form.
20:49, Today: Garek rolled 8 using 1d20.  Antaeus - danger sense check on ring.
'exotic magical traps or illusions'...may circumvent
20:50, Today: Garek rolled 96 using 1d100.  detect magic lie (roll of 91+).
--finds 'masked magic' but NOT a magic lie.

Pg 289:
8. If a mage uses a Detect Magik spell on an item, then he cannot use a Detect Masked Magik
or Detect Magik Lie spell on the same object. The reverse also holds true.
9. An item that has masked magik about it may accidentally be detected in the course of doing a normal Detect Magik spell, if the percent rolled for how much you found out equals or exceeds 90%. At that time, the DM will not only tell you that you have detected a magikally masked object, but you may roll again to determine how much of the masked magik you find.

Compleat Arduin: specifies that 3 rolls made, but 73% on reroll.
Wish ring: may seem slightly unguarded considering ? However, found lots of treasure lying around.
If Antaeus wears: 20% chance of malfunction (dwarf). He would be likely to get (level limit increase) though anyone might want.

The wish problem

Wishes:
The DEX issue gives Garek an idea he'd like to wish up his DEX immediately.
Argument breaking out over the ring.

Garek: Int raising +3
Gaynor: Dex raising +3
Lynn: argues for doing something later (to spite Gaynor)
Antaeus: +3 level limit, but non-urgent. So agrees w/ Marsa.
Marsa: agrees with Lynn [diplomacy]
Harcourt - wants immediate distribution
Drax - not sure what wants. May split the wishes ??

Who has had wishes: Garek/ Gaynor - 2 wishes, + 2 limited wishes used. So they should be excluded from consideration.
Antaeus - basically had the equivalent, Deck of Many Things draws [Keep/18 Cha to save his marriage]
Result would be - roll between Lynn, Marsa, Harcourt, Drax - to see who doesn't get a wish.
Leaving division until later though.

One secret door opens disgorging another -attacks Antaeus but >10 damage (stopped by Yuurk). Antaeus detects secret doors - 2 come out of another and attack him and Garek - Yuurks again absorb, scimitars destroy. Garek twists ankle.
Harcourt moves to last Revealed secret door - using broadsword to see in darkness + scimitar. Scimitar hit destroys one while normal attack fumbles and drops - can't see in dark (-4 to AC). Last morghoul hits with 2 claws - 1 damage getting through and starting rot. Others dispatch and apply a disease-salve to prevent more rotting. Total 2 damage.

Room 3

Entry Level Complete

Resources Tally:
Harcourt - 2 damage, continual light, dispel magic used. Used 1 disease salve.
Gaynor - 13 damage
YN questions: about 2.
2 smog bombs used.
1 charge from Before ring used (to negate crit amulet breaking)
PSPs used: Time shift about 4 times (2 rounds, 24 PSPs), DD about 5 times (20 PSPs).

Problem analysis: can't detect undead with either the life force detector or telepathy (screwed us up twice). Potentially 'gold finder' can notice treasure meaning monsters more likely, but only if other party members stay back.

Room 3

Stair "B" -tried- go to level 3.
Trying stairs "C" - go to level 2.

Stair "C" - goes down to 2nd level. [page 8]

 [from halfway to at back - echeloning]
map turned perhaps ? - so stair "A" is halfway across. - YES !!
-echelons across 12 squares.
'stairs to forever' - obvious trap as go 'up' beyond L1's mapped area ?

Room Seven is 'start'

card front, usually bright red. Attacks: Two claws for 1d6 each, 2 wing buffets

only remember to do so 20% of the time. They are arrogant, greedy, cowardly and
cunning. They hate Hobbits, and can teleport once daily.

Room 3

[amusing since sprained ankle made bump ally actually worse]
Room Five.
Hit with speed attack; Dragon bites and uses breath weapon (PCs align to avoid it lining them up - telepathy). 20 damage negated by save/Throfd worm armour. Harcourt kills (reroll attack power to avoid fumble on a 2) before Smog used by Drax.


Arguing over Belt of Hercules:
Belt of Hercules: overlaps Skull Amulet [Str/Dex], existing Girdle [Str] and Gauntlets [Dex] for Antaeus
-limited extra benefit as not a primary fighter, however.
Lynn -can't wear with Spartakkon's belt; her gloves give 1/2 the benefit and mostly can't be reassigned.
Drax - could use, but just got Amulet.
Harcourt - could use, already has a Girdle and Gauntlets.

16:44, Today: Garek rolled 9,11,0 using d20,d20,d20-4.  Gaynor, Garek, Harcourt (at -4).
Rolls 9 (made by 4), 11 (made by 2), 4 (made by 5). [should've applied Harcourt penalty to TN, not roll]
