This thread is for chatting about anything not game related.

Funny, it never occurred to me there might be unarmed customers in a bar in a D&D game ;) Also, who's more the fool, the man with 8 Wisdom and no training in perception, or the fool who hires him to do security?

Just a little good-natured teasing, I promise. I'm quite enjoying things, so far.

Im having a good time too.

Yeah, I usually always consider everyone is armed in D&D. Including the small wildlife that poses a threat to level 1 characters!

Haha ! No problem !

Matrim is about to get into a spot of bother, and so I'll wait for Duncan and Harlo to see if they want to do anything before the bother starts and we roll initiative.

Sounds like a plan!

In reply to Matrim Rogthor (msg # 5):

Hey guys, My first attack  roll ever in this adventure was a nat 1.....so you guys don’t need to roll any 1s. I did it for us.....can’t say I didn’t contribute.

In reply to Harlo Sap (msg # 6):

The sacrificial 1 has been rolled!

Are we still waiting on Harlo?

Maybe not. May as well declare the next round actions. Round 4 !

Links Time !

Who loves Fighting Fantasy and other gamebooks ? I know I do !

http://ffproject.com/

https://gamebooks.org/

I also love comics and have read a variety of them since I was a kid.
Here's two links to indie (and commercial) comics where you can get free books. Ace !

https://www.comixology.com/

https://www.comixcentral.com/

I haven't really done any of the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, but as a kid I loved "choose your adventure" style books, and had a couple Middle Earth gamebooks.

I'm a quite the comics fan myself, though I haven't read any lately. They're getting quite expensive. In 2011 I was spending over $20 a month on Batman titles alone! Be happy to check out some free books.

'lo all. Just seeing how everyone's weekend is going.

Good thanks, mate. It's currently Monday 3:44pm here. I spent the weekend sleeping, reading, drawing and painting. Played some emulated N64 games a bit, too. You get up to much ?

Went to see Ant-man and the Wasp on Friday, took my mom to Bingo on Saturday (and won about $25,) finished playing Sleeping Dogs on Sunday, then recorded a podcast.

We had friends come over to spend the weekend with us playing board games. Got some Gloomhaven, Bastion, and King's Forge games logged.

Didn't get up to much, myself. Found a nail in my tire I had to get fixed, but other than that, it's mostly just been relaxing.

Work, eat, sleep, repeat for me.

post-wererat-fight :

I will reply properly after work, tonight. Good fight, adventurers !

(Yes, I forgot to mention the bodies return to "human" form when they die)

My ISP is upgrading my internet today, during the day while I am at work. From basic ADSL to the Australian NBN.

Anyway, if all goes well, I'll reply tonight. If not ... well, I'll be phoning the ISP to see what's up.

Hope you all have a great day/night.

To the Blue Dragon Inn again... very soon.

I am enjoying everything so far!

Any chance I know, or can roll to know, any merchants suitable for Matrim?

So, did Bhelmyr have any luck getting any bar patrons to assist in watching Theldrat's?

Sorry, Bhelmyr.

The bar patrons are either not interested or too drunk. Some humour you and say "Yes", but you know they are unreliable.

The Inn cleaner, Olmar (half-elven male. Slender, quiet and wise), says he will be up late and up early and will keep an eye out for you, when he can, but he will also be busy cleaning the Inn.

Is Bhelmyr up early, like Cricket ?

Let's continue in the Chapter One thread ...

I'm recovering from a trip to the dentist this morning, so afraid I'm not terribly creative atm.

Hello there. DM just let me into the game. I'm working on my sheet now and should show up shortly.

Looking forward to joining you.

Hey! Welcome! I'm always happy to expand the game. Not that I'm in charge or anything. Hope you'll enjoy playing with our little group!

Welcome, fellow shorty!

Oh, just so there's no confusion about it, I'm aware Cricket doesn't understand the language at all. He has no idea what he's saying. He probably isn't even sure they're words. He's just mimicking it is all.

Following Gnorlin's inclusion of Passive Perception in his biography, I've added it to everyone's biography, which now shows HP, AC, PP.
If I mucked-up working out your PP, please correct it. I'm still no expert at 5th ed and may miss things.

(I do like 5th ed, though. It's a good mix of old and new.)

I've added all players to Groups 0 and 1, and made this thread and the Rules thread accessable only to group 1.
Any non-players can see group 0 threads only.
So, this thread and the Rules thread are only viewable by us, but outside eyes can peer over the table and still see the Chapter One thread.

Interested in some recent DnD comics, set in Baldur's Gate ?
Features some well-known characters from the pc game series !

Im Back! And that is very interesting about Cricket. I am interested to see where that goes.

17:31, Today: Kvanlanir rolled 8 using 1d20.  Decision.

15:32, Today: Bhelmyr Godstouched rolled 6 using 1d20.  Decision.

I hope no one minds Cricket being a bit less serious than the situation might otherwise call for. I intend to play him lighthearted, and as a bit childish, though I'm aware that not everyone wants that at the (virtual) table. If it's an issue with anyone, let me know so I can keep him more in-line with the gang's expectations for this game.

Ive got no issue.

Sounds good to me

Play him how you want to play him, dude.

Well, I intend to, I just don't want to be that one guy at the table playing in a way nobody appreciates is all. Like anyone rolling up a Kinder Rogue. But alright, so long as no one has any problems with him, I'll continue as-is.

Go for it, dude! Never could take Kenku seriously, anyway ;P

Just waiting for Crickets actions for this next round before posting the round results / actions...

I've been playing Champions of Krynn, set in DragonLance DnD setting. It's old-school and part of the "SSI Gold Box" series. Popular amongst retro-gaming old farts like myself.

Here's the game, as well as the sequels and other retro Krynn/DragonLance games (6 games in this rar [zip] file, see wiki links below) :

https://drive.google.com/open?...14Psn60tjyNrBsq1YQYM

Here's an alternative to DOSBox. Unlike DOSBox, it lets you "save state", which is very handy, as any of you who have used emulators would know. (Gameboy or NES / SNES, etc) :

Bonus ! Here's a video I recorded of gameplay :

https://drive.google.com/open?...GkAYlV45kkFELfQY3kwA

The sound recorded a bit quiet (shitty free recording program).
The reason some characters look in their inventory is because when those Draconians die they turn to stone and your weapon gets trapped inside them, so you lose your weapon until the end of the fight. Some characters have back-up weapons for this reason. Draconians are awesome. Different types have different death-things happen, like turn-to-stone, explode, create a pool of acid !

A "rougelike" game I played first on the Amiga in the late 80s ! I didn't know what to do or how to play it back then. I was too young to figure it all out.
You can check out an online version of LARN here :

"... and doesn't like Gnome legs"

Haha !

Bhelmyr and Matrim , feel free to LEVEL UP ! ! !

Regular procedure as per page 15 of PHB.

A whole 3 more hp. Great for the tank eh? C'mon RNGesus WHY HATH THOU FORSAKEN ME!!!!!!

Lol. Bhelmyr got 4. I think his CON might be higher than Matrim's. At least you get damage reduction while raging :)

I feel inclined to let Matrim and Bhelmyr reroll the 1 for HP, and make it a house-rule for all future level-ups in this game : reroll 1's on HP.

Party vote on this ?

I will reply to the Chapter One thread tonight, after work.
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:49, Sun 05 Aug 2018.

Up to you on the re-roll decision. Personally, yes it sucks, but D&D is all about chance eh.

Also for short rests, ive been playing it for my party as say 20 mins after a battle while the adrenaline is starting to wear off. Its not how everyone plays it, just a suggestion.

I vote yes on rerolling ones on HP at level up. Of course, I always vote yes at removing any element of chance for character creation or progression. Save the chaos for when the action is happening.

As an aside, the players at my table get max HP for 3 levels, and average HP thereafter. Really, though, its up to personal preference. My way isn't better, but the party Barbarian isn't complaining that he never gets 12+CON HP, so its good enough for my table.

Of course, it would be funny if Matrim kept rolling 1s and the Sorcerer ended up with more HP than him. That happened to a Paladin of Vengeance I played a few years back. Good times, he was the party leader, had to stay in the back. Ended up multiclassing to Warlock. Met a Great Old One, went a bit insane.

I'm all for re-rolling 1's any chance I get.

I don't mind rerolling 1's. On the one hand though, that's the risk you're taking if you decide to roll instead of taking the average. You want a chance to get max hp? Then you have to be willing to take the min, too.

I could go either way, honestly.

Ok, I will allow the new house-rule to reroll 1's on HP.

Bhelmyr and Matrim can reroll their HP,
and also reroll 1's until you get something other than 1.

Second roll was much better!

Mine, too!

Sorry for the silence, we've got a lot of exchange students arriving in airports this weekend and they all come out of New York which is having delays left and right for weather so we're scrambling to help get the kids matched up with their families. I may have time for something tonight, or it may have to wait until the workweek.

That's ok dude. Life happens.
The party is back at the Inn for the time being... before heading off to find Irontusk (perhaps).
I will reply to the main thread tonight after work.

Sorry for the delay, everyone. My wife went into labor and I've finally had the chance to settle in after adjusting to the baby.

Congratulations!

Congrats! If I knew you in person id hand you a cigar!

great news!

Congrats, Cricket. Now you have a little cricket !

Congratulations!

Nice discussion on how to approach the hunting of Irontusk.
I just re-read long-rest rules, and you can't do it twice within 24 hours.
I was going to suggest perhaps turning the short rest into a long rest, but that's not an option, sorry. (PHB 186)

Thanks everyone! I'd buy you all a round of whatever you guys happen to drink if I could.

Cricket himself wasn't eyeing the mouse, by the way. Cricket has a Raven familiar named Quill. That's who was watching the mouse.

I just realised in a recent post I called Irontusk ... Irontush ! Haha ! He's got an iron tush ! (butt / bum / bottom). Perhaps it's part of his armor. You'll have to find him and see !

Was wondering if you'd notice that, boss.

lol

Hey guys I just want to touch base with you. Gnorlin is a cleric but he's not a typical one. I chose the trickster domain for him and plan to take a few levels in rogue as well. The part I'm letting you know about is this isn't just so he can pick locks and scout ahead like most rogues do. I'm actually going to play him with a tendency towards minor theft. Think Rocket in Guardians of the Galaxy when he took the batteries. (as a matter of fact this has already happened and I'm sporting a new set of lock picks thanks to old Theldrat's shop.)

I'd like your feedback on is this as fellow players not characters. I'm going to fail at times and might cause a non-campaign related issue. If any of you have a real problem with this possibility please let me know. I won't do anything thievery related when I feel we're near a major plot point such as here on the docks. I'd like to play him this way but the last thing I want to do is cause issues with the group.

Ive got no issues.

Out of character, I've got no problem with you doing such, within reason. In character, if Bhelmyr catches you stealing, you'll need to convince him its for the greater good, or he'll demand you return it, and possibly, call the guard if you refuse. Of course, i'm not gonna go out of my way to catch you stealing, and you've seen my Passive Perception.

Hey Gnorlin, I don't mind, either. You may slowly be turning evil, after all...
I'll reply to the main thread tomorrow, as work has completely drained me tonight, sorry guys. Zzzzz ...

Perish the thought oh wise and mighty DM...neutralish is as far as he shall ever fall.

Just waiting on Cricket's initiative and round one actions, and Bhelmyr to roll d20 as both he and the dogs got initiative 14.

I saw other people attacking, so figured it was too late for negotiations.

No worries! Thats why I put an "if" clause.

12:26, Thu 23 Aug: Bhelmyr Godstouched rolled 4 using 1d20.  Tie breaker.

Sorry, rolled that when you asked, but I forgot to post it.

Sorry for the delay. Was hospitalized for food poisoning. I'm back in it though.

That sucks! Hope you're feeling better, now.

Yuck ! Food poisoning sucks ! I hope you're on the mend and feeling better, dude.

Oh man ive had that. I hope you're feeling better.

Thanks guys. I'm alright now. Still needing to keep hydrated and all, but I'll be right soon enough. Good enough to get back to my life now, at least.

Glad to hear it.

You guys are funny ! Flat-out attacking Irontusk when all the poor half-orc has done is try to flee ! Haha ! You'll get a reputation and perhaps job offers from the Assassins Guild if you keep this up !

It's ok though, not complaining... I just think it's funny.
This message was last edited by the GM at 15:26, Sat 01 Sept 2018.

To be fair, Cricket was just trying to stand him in the water. He never attacked him directly. And look what he got for his trouble lol

Yeah, it's not going well for Cricket. That 1 on the death-save roll really added to the misfortune. Oh Nooo !!! If Gnorlin or Bhelmyr can somehow get a heal to you in time...

Commodore 64 ... mid 1980s home computer.
Dead these days, right ?

WRONG !

New releases (games) are coming out every year !

https://www.reddit.com/r/c64/c...esting_hunters_moon/

How do you want us to handle leveling up? Do we need a rest, or should I go ahead and apply things now?

Yes, you can do it now.
Remember to change your character BIO to reflect the new Hit Points total.
Also, reroll 1's on HP rolls.

How far is it from the pier to the boat?

About 20 feet. Matrim could try to throw the end of the rope to whoever is on the pier, or row the boat back to the pier.

Having come into the group a little late here, and finding ourselves somewhat of a crossroads here, I wanted to ask what our direction is supposed to be here in the game? Do we even have a direction, or are we sandboxing this business?

We're looking for the key that was stolen from the locksmith.

I think we're walking a pretty straight line. We got Irontusk to question and the small piece of paper he threw to look at.

I know about that part, but what's our overall storyline? Are we trying to remain within the city for this adventure? Do we even have an overarching story, or are we just people with powers sitting in a bar, reacting to things as they happen around us?

I'm asking for the sake of killing vs capture, and so forth. The halfling woman, for example, she blew a whistle which seemed to me to be a warning for Irontusk, or a call for help, so I killed her. That's probably not necessarily the best course of action for a game where we want to stay in town forever.

ahhhh... sorry I misunderstood.

As for Gnorlin he's not against killing but will follow a good alignment when it comes to harming others. When it comes to belongings however he finds a bit more 'grey' in his choices.

I think the best thing you can do is evaluate how you think the character would react and play accordingly. The group will come to a balance as we get to know each other better.

As for the halfling... she made her choice to side with criminals...Gnorlin sees no issue in her death.

You're not restricted or required to stay in town.
It's a big world out there if you feel like traveling.

I side with Gnorlin. She made her choice. I'm good with seeing how this plays out for now.

I've got my current XP at 500, before the +50 you just gave us.

Uh oh, have I mucked it up ?

Well, one of us has. ;)

On page 13 of the thread, after Irontusk was captured,
XP was awarded and the results were :

Bhelmyr 570
Cricket 420 – Level Up !
Gnorlin 340 – Level Up !
Kvanlanir 420 – Level Up !
Matrim 620

Today :

+ 50 XP for making it through a rough day, and roleplaying, etc.

Bhelmyr 620
Cricket 470
Gnorlin 390
Kvanlanir 470
Matrim 670

I think I probably added a total instead of updating a total, then. Fixed.

All good, Kvan. I'd thought that maybe you'd gone on an adventure without telling us !

Any of you guys played:

Neverwinter Nights 1 or 2,
Baldur's Gate 1 or 2,
Icewind Dale 1 or 2 ?

All great D&D pc games !

Yes, I've played all of those! Haven't finished most of them, though.

Yeah, all of the above.

Cool ! Yeah my favourite was Icewind Dale, though I haven't played much of Icewind Dale 2, or Baldur's Gate 2. I've started playing Neverwinter Nights 1 again, intending to play though it, and 2 as well.

I enjoyed all of them to varying degrees. Ultimately, it's not D&D-enough for me to continue playing them over similar RPG's with better overall gameplay and progression. If I'm going to play D&D, I want real D&D, not a cheap knockoff. If I want video games, I'll play video games.

If we had turn based combat, spell slot restrictions, etc, then I'd be more likely to play.

Boss, are you accepting new players? I know someone who is looking for a game, and wants to join one I'm playing.

Sure, I think one more player would be ok.

Sorry I haven't replied to the other thread yet.
Everyone is still deciding what to do, though ...

https://dungeonmajesty.com/

-------------

"DUNGEON MAJESTY is a television program based on a game of Dungeons and Dragons that aired on public access stations across the United States and on the internet from 2004-2009.

The show was created by Christine Adolph, Liza Cardinale, Sarah Low, Riley Swift, + JJ Stratford; a real life gaming group who decided to televise their adventure.

The show was originally taped at Comcast Public Access in Hollywood but soon moved to Eagle Rock Public Acess and continued until the station was shut down in 2009.

The game was played live in a television studio and  recorded to tape. The fantasy realm, dicated by the adventure and the roll of the dice, was chroma keyed in.

To illustrate the actions of the dungeon crawl, Dungeon Majesty employed the use of miniature models, crude practical effects, stop motion animation, and an insane amount of magic inspired special fx."

That looks interesting.

Terribly sorry for my sudden absence. Some things came up. I'll be posting in again once I've caught up with reading.

I hope Gnorlin can reach Matrim's back because he certainly isn't going to smack his behind!!!

Haha ! I just posted something that indicated that may have happened. Gnorlin must have stood on tippy-toes to reach Matrims back.

Hey wait, it just dawned on me Cricket only took 5 damage and wasn't involved in the fight with the Stirges. Shouldn't he be at 7 hp? I mean, it's kinda my bad for not updating my current hp, but the last time he was in a fight was when he got dropped by Irontusk, no?

Yes, you're correct ! I completely missed that, too, sorry.
Everyone should have been healed up before heading to the Green Dagger Gang hideout, before fighting the stirges.

Cricket should be at 7HP, and standing, ready for action in round 2.

My apologies.

Edit your post in the main thread from "death save" to "round two I will...", and we'll continue as usual.
This message was last edited by the GM at 10:12, Fri 12 Oct 2018.

Healing Myra was my round 2, right?

Yes, Bhelmyr, that's correct.

Thanks, boss.

Sorry for my absence yet again. Life seems to be seriously getting in the way lately.

In reply to Cricket (msg # 119):

If life was predictable, we wouldn't survive it. No worries my friend.

No problem. Glad you are back

oops... are we taking a short rest? Sorry if I missed that.

That makes two of us.

No one has opted for an official short rest yet ...
The combat ended, and people began investigating the doors and room with the sick gang members.

I don't mind taking a short rest if you guys want to continue exploring. Unless the short rest is over an hour. (My group defines a short rest as about 20 minutes)

I'd prefer to keep a short rest defined as "at least one hour".
If the party was to short rest inside the building, you may need to find a secure hiding place...

I don't think this would be a good place to take a break. Shall we continue investigating?
This message was last edited by the player at 14:30, Sun 04 Nov 2018.

Understood, no short rest.

Gnorlin (and everyone else), the trapdoor in the room with the table and chairs, is in the ceiling.

( Wait around long enough and something might fall through it, haha ! )

BTW, now that I've leveled, I might be able to magically heal that gang.

That would be great.

Myra, Cricket... you still with us?

Has Cricket left the game?

Not sure. I've heard no word. He's been quiet for a while ...

Yeah

Well I say we just keep trucking along. Level 3 isn't gonna happen on it's own you know and I got plans.

I love this campaign and would hate to see it stall out.

I agree with the small one. Wait, this is OOC.

I agree!

Glad you're enjoying it !

Sorry for the delays in posting. You all know how the holidays can be...

Retro-fans will appreciate :

PORTAL for the Commodore 64 !

Portal is a spin-off series from the Half-Life game series.

C64 was popular in the mid-80s to early-90s, the popularity waned as computer-tech advanced,
but the retro-heads like me still love it, and NEW games are being regularly made still today !

Hello all, your friendly warlock here. I'm excited to join you all. It's been fun reading the backlog so far.

Also portal? I remember portal, really cool, I'll check it out

Happy to have you friend!

welcome

I feel like I derailed things a bit. Sorry. Guess I could always get a seeing eye dog

Nah, just waiting to see if Bhelmyr can cast more Lesser Restorations, or if the party wants to talk to Cyrathas about moving the sick people to the Temple of Pelor in the Garden District of the city.

Sorry Xander. Triage.

In reply to Bhelmyr Godstouched (msg # 146):

I get that, trying to be flawed without being a jerk. Thanks for even using your spells on poor wretch's like us : )

I understand it's that time of year when everyone's busy doing Christmas/Holiday things, so the slowing down of posting at the moment is to be expected.

That said, I wish all of you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS or HAPPY HOLIDAYS or WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE ENJOYING RIGHT NOW ! ! !

... and all the best for 2019.

-----

The party needs to decide (or vote) if they want to :

- leave the sick gang members where they are,
- take them to the temple,
- visit the temple and ask a priest/cleric to visit the gang,
- something else

because the Sage will be expecting you early-evening of this same day, with those two bottles of fine wine as payment.
Hopefully the sage can tell you where that cairn charm came from and steer you towards where to go next.

First up, Happy Holidays!!! yay!

I was scratching my head on how Xander could join the group.  If the party does save the gang, I would think Cyrathas would appreciate saving the lives of his men.  He may consider this a debt to be repayed and assign Xander to help in any capacity.

What all happened? In my head Veltargo hired the Green Daggers for a job, in that time frame they get poisoned? Veltargo sells the Green Daggers a fake cure. Who poisoned the Green Daggers?  Xander thinks Veltargo is to blame, if not directly, he took advantage of the situation and disposed of potential lose ends.  Is this accurate?

If you take Xander to the temple, he could try and persuade a cleric to visit the gang.

- Theldrat the Locksmith hired pc's to find his missing key
- Tracked key thief down, Irontusk the half-orc, who told pc's that the Green Dagger Gang employed him to steal the key
- Green Dagger Gang informed pc's that they recently fell sick (unknown how), and that Veltargo offered a cure (which was fake), in return for the theft of the key.
- (Thus the Green Daggers got Irontusk to steal the key for them.)
- Veltargo may also be responsible for mugging a cleric of Boccob (who tore a cairn charm from around the muggers neck) and stealing a book from the Great Library.
- Why does Veltargo want the key and the book, and where/who is he, exactly ?
- The sage at the Temple of Boccob may be able to provide some leads.

I hope all of you enjoy your respective holidays! Merry Christmas.

I also wish you all a Merry Christmas. This is my first living in Mexico and I have to say I miss the snow.

Gnorlin is in favor to visit the healers and see if one will return. Following that return to the tavern and get the wine ready.

In reply to Gnorlin Parkputter (msg # 152):

sounds good to me, second!

also wow mexico, no snow but I bet it's still nice :D

Oh, I thought somebody brought the wine with us.

And since I probably won't post tomorrow, Merry Christmas! And happy Holidays to everyone applicable.

Matrim bought some wine. Not sure if he's carrying it around with him, though.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year !

As far as snow is concerned, where I live (Australia) the temperature will be 37C / 98F today, so no snow.
I've only seen light snow falling, and never "been to the snow" to ski. We have snow on our mountains and people do go there and ski, I just never have.

Matrim would have brought the wine.

As for snow, I live in Canada and it is bitter cold!

I'm Canadian as well and I know the feeling. I'm enjoying riding my bike in Dec I have to say.

I wouldn't trade the snow for anything though!

I've got all kinds of catching up to do.

Ha! cool post number! rock on l..l

I'm going to be without internet for until the first.  I'll take a back seat and if the need arises, give the help action whenever applicable.  Thanks all and happy newyear

Hey Xander... are you a bard? I’m thinking of multi-classing next level. Was leaning towards bard but if your one then I’ll think some more.

Warlock here with entertainer background. Go for bard if you want. Got the silent image evocation and Minor imagine cantrip to help my performance. I wasn't thinking of multiclassing at character gen but now I wouldn't mind going paladin but I don't have the strength pre-requesit so not going to happen. Oh well.

OK sounds good.

My other character on the site is a Monk with the entertainer background. I like the character and find that the entertainer background give some great character 'flavor' options. My monk is a travelling knife thrower/ sword swallower.

Small world, pretty sure I'm DMing that game. First game I've ever DMed in rpol. Nice being on this side of the screen for a bit.

I play a kensei in a weekly game. Pretty fun.

seriously small world.

Happy New Year everyone.

I'd like to thank you all for you participation, considering that this is currently my only DnD outlet, although soon I may be DMing for a local group at a comic-shop, which is exciting (and makes me a bit nervous). Not sure what I'll be running for them, yet. Probably one of the new 5th ed modules.

I know there's been a fair amount of walk-around and talk-talk in the game lately. I foresee some action on the horizon, though... perhaps closer than the horizon...

That's awesome! I'm glad you get to enjoy more of this creative outlet :D remember to have fun too. The DM is just as much a participant as the players!

I think I'm partly to blame for the hold up (I feel like I have to continue to justify why I'm hanging out with everyone as goals get resolved) but I feel like a lot is still happening. I'm sure we will get an opportunity to play with new abilities soon. So far I'm really enjoying the game and playing with everyone.

This is a great outlet for me in between the times that I play and when I DM. Both around once a month.

I really am enjoying my time here and plan to play as long as I can.

This is also my only outlet for the game I enjoy. I've been in five games so far and am currently only in two.  Great fun and I'm here to stay.

I am hoping that Gnorlin will distribute those potions amongst the other adventurers, or let them have access to them, as Matrim (and anyone else nearby) would have seen Cyrathas give them to him.

Of course, it's up to Gnorlin ...

Edited my last post to include the map with X-marks-the-spot of the cairn/tomb.

So I think we have the marching order

Matrim
Xander
Bhelmyr (??)
Gnorlin
Kvanlanar

I think for game speed it would be best to just walk ourselves. A trip to the mercenaries guild would add quite a bit of time to the role play and not really do anything to advance the plot. Let us know if anyone is really set on this idea.

I'm good with whatever.

If there's no objections to going alone (just the party), then the journey will commence !
I'll post the start-of-the-journey in the Chapter One thread tonight.

This works for me.

Ready

Oops ! I hit the wrong button and only posted half of round 1 results... please wait ...... fixing it now !
Ok, fixed !
Round One is done. Now for Round Two ...

I'm not keen on visiting a place called "Tomb of Everflowing Blood" at night. Think there's a place to camp near the bridge?

second!

Yes, you've heard that there's a camping site. Many travellers pass over the bridge.
This message was last edited by the GM at 17:47, Sun 20 Jan 2019.

So the treck to the tomb is 3 hours, Gnorlin can attunne each one in one hour, giving us the option to divy up the items to whoever can make the most use from them.

We have an extra hour for people to attunne to each item before we reach the tomb. Sounds good to me.

If we're lucky, the items don't even need attunement.

Dibs on the neverending beer jug!

As long as you share, four gallons of beer  sounds great for the road. In the future I would like to have Butterbell support with using various items too. See how creative I can get.

Xander, where can I find the stats you're using for your familiars, like the Imp stats ?

the monster manual, it was hiding in the devil section. Imp is on 77 of mm and Sprite is on 283 of mm and the chain summoning is on  108 of players handbook.

Alternatively just searching 5e whatever in Google pulls up quick results.

One thing to note concerning Find Familiar, it does have a 10gp material component that is consumed every time you cast it, whether you do so as a ritual or not, so recasting or changing the shape is going to cost you money every time.

Xander better stock up on "10gp worth of charcaal, incense, and herbs".
You can deduct some gp now and retcon that you have the required components, if you don't have them.

But ... looks like you've only got 7gp, so you may be stuck with the sprite for now ...
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:10, Fri 25 Jan 2019.

Ouch! Missed that they were consumed. Thanks. Any chance I could retroactive collect charcoal and herbs on the trip here? We did camp out and make a fire right? Even if I could, I don't think I have any incense. I'm going to strike through my original post.

Makes sense, sorry about that.
Also while BB is scouting, could Xander see through her senses? My end goal is to create a replica of the layout with silent image.
This message was last edited by the player at 20:34, Fri 25 Jan 2019.

Yes, you could collect charcoal and herbs, but not incense.

Find Familiar states :
As an action, you can see through your familiar's eyes
and hear what it hears until the start of your next turn,
gaining the benefits of any special senses that the
familiar has. During this time, you are deaf and blind
with regard to your own senses.

Did someone lend her a lantern / torch ?

I'll post the results of her scouting soon ...

Does anyone have a torch? I got the scholars pack for flavor and it doesn't come with any torches. Want to lend it to BB?

You can grab one from me.

I'll gladly offer healing to matrim...cure wounds and healing word but I can't post until this afternoon.

Sorry dudes, I've had a big weekend. I'll reply to Round Two actions within the next day (or tomorrow night).

No worries!

Cool fight by the way, makes me anxious to see what's next.

Wtf. I typed up a whole post explaining what I was doing! I don't have time to redo it atm (posting from my phone, so formatting takes forever.) But yeah, ice knife to hit as many as possible. Favored by the gods adds +3 to hit if the attack roll misses, cold damage should be 3, not 8.

I feel you pain! I never post by phone anymore. It's so frustrating. This site definitely needs a mobile app.

No worries! I'm in a game where posting happens maybe twice a month. That game is a little slow for my tastes. I always look forward to updates from this game.

I would quite a game that slow, that's terrible. What's the name?

I don't mind slow games. I play in 15-20 games at a time, so having a slow one is not a waste of my time at all. Games that move too quickly, now those can be a problem, but slow games are just fine.

Teaching 5E Dungeons and Dragons, the DM has been playing for 13+ years and I wanted to see how they play/run a game. Recently the DM has shown interest in some 1 to 1 games. I've never done that before and am looking forward to trying it.

I'm in that one, too. There are a couple of veteran players around for helping out the new players if combat gets too crazy. Some of the players have taken the "it's an intentionally slow posting rate" a little further than intended though, which is why he's looking at going to solo.

I checked the cast in that game, the majority of players have logged in within the last couple of days. Don't know why it's so slow.

question before I post.. what were those pouches of fine sand we found with the halflings?

 sand of disappearance I think

, this powder resembles very fine sand. There is enough of it for one use. When you use an action to throw the dust into the air, you and each creature and object within 10 feet of you become invisible for 2d4 minutes. The duration is the same for all subjects, and the dust is consumed when its magic takes effect. If a creature affected by the dust attacks or casts a spell, the invisibility ends for that creature

Alchemy Jug might be useful, some oil could provide some damage over time or some poor aoe
This message was last edited by the player at 16:06, Fri 15 Feb 2019.

Now there's an idea.

Unlimited. Ale.

Maybe hard to set up, the mug produces one quart. A quart is two pints, a single flask of oil holds one pint. The following is from the oil flask:

As an action, you can splash the oil in this flask onto a creature within 5 feet of you or throw it up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. Make a ranged Attack against a target creature or object, treating the oil as an Improvised Weapon. On a hit, the target is covered in oil. If the target takes any fire damage before the oil dries (after 1 minute), the target takes an additional 5 fire damage from the burning oil. You can also pour a flask of oil on the ground to cover a 5-foot-square area, provided that the surface is level. If lit, the oil burns for 2 rounds and deals 5 fire damage to any creature that enters the area or ends its turn in the area. A creature can take this damage only once per turn.

It only lasts 2 rounds doing 5 damage each round.

If we survive we can always drink our woes away :D

The closed quarters make this fight highly in our favor since we have ranged attacks and they (so far) do not.

OK... good points. Let's make pin cushions out of them.

And Pancakes!

I think Matrim should down our potion of fire breath. It's a bonus action so he'd get his regular attack plus the breath.

POTION OF FIRE BREATH

Potion, uncommon
After drinking this potion, you can use a bonus action to exhale fire at a target within 30 feet of you. The target must make a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d6 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The effect ends after you exhale the fire three times or when 1 hour has passed.
This potion's orange liquid flickers, and smoke fills the top of the container and wafts out whenever it is opened.

What do you guys think? This could go very bad, very quick if we don't stay ahead of this curve.

Is there a 1000 post limit to each thread ?
If so, I'll have to create a new thread soon, Chapter 1.1

Btw, Bhelmyr still has spell slots, he's just saving them for the next fight.

1000 posts is quite a milestone. Not many games reach this point. Great job by everyone and thanks to the GM for a compelling game.

With Gnorlin's recent multi-class to Bard, and my choice of instrument being the Kazoo, I think it only fitting we have a song to celebrate this milestone.

Just......beautiful.

Sorry guyz, will reply tonight ...

I honestly wasn't expecting a kicr olrl at this point in my life. Kind of refreshing

They can go over 1k posts, you just can't archive them if you allow it to go over.

Is that the original Cricket finally making their way back?

It is. Had a lot of irl things going on but I'm back.

Glad to have you back. Hope everything is ok now.

Second that.

Here! Here! :D

How's the mini-cricket?

So what happens if a thread goes 1000+ posts ?

Nothing. You just lose the ability to archive it.

I gotta say.....That's one HELL of an illusion!

Sorry for the delay. We're doing well, thanks for asking. Hope things are well with everyone else, too.

so from the last post you guys can probably figure that I've asked for a character change. Gnorlin just never really sat well with me and his current multi-class to bard just didn't help at all.

Farewell, Gnorlin.
Say Hello! to Bandish the Bug !

Gnorlin will die.

I have renamed the character to Bandish the Bug.
He will come into the game/story very soon, with the same XP as Cricket.

Same player ! New character !
This message was last edited by the GM at 16:46, Sat 06 Apr 2019.

I'll forget we have a healing potion. I think I will try to save Gnorlin but I will fail

Sorry for my silence lately. Been under a lot if stress lately, and I simply forgot about pbp for awhile. Hopefully won't happen again.

Glad you're still with us.

I will reply to the main thread soon, once the party has finished collecting Gnorlins gear,
decided what to do with his body, and started to move onto the next area ...
down the stairs in the narrow passageway ... to the blood-lake !

bump

Great to meet you! Do you go by Bandish or bug?

Sorry for the delay,
it's been one-of-those-weeks.

The adventurers have continued, deeper into the Tomb ..

Glad to be back in the game with a character I can sink my teeth into. Check out my character description..he's really small because I rolled CRAP for STR..I decided to make him a half-halfling for fun. It's not a real thing just a fun description..he's built like a variant human.

As for what you call him we'll have introduction following the fight.

How deep is this lake, from looking at the skeletons?

It's about 3 feet deep. Approximately waist-deep on the skeletons.
We'll use the difficult terrain rule for movement if wading through the lake.

Every foot of movement in difficult terrain costs 1 extra foot.

The disadvantage rolls were for the crawling cultist that I thought was still alive. Being prone gives melee attacks advantage, but ranged attacks disadvantage.

Question before I post.. are the squares on the map 5 feet or 10?

I haven't stuck hard-and-fast to that,
make it about 8'

:P

I have one spell slot left. I'm holding it until ABSOLUTELY necessary to save Matrim. I'm afraid if I use it now he'll get knocked back down and then he's at the mercy of death saves. If he gets to 2 fails I'll use it but if they go good I probably won't. Just letting you all know my rationale for keeping my one remaining spell slot.

I have a few spells left, too.

So I level up my character. Took the average HP, +2 asi to charisma, replaced beast speak and cause fear for agonizing blast and cloud of daggers and picked up Eldritch blast for a cantrip and hold person for a spell. I'm going to contribute more in fights now! Yay! Also one HP... A short rest would be so nice.

I'm a level behind you guys but am very happy with the new guy.

Not much for druids at level 3. 2nd level spell slots are nice though.

I just got my ASI, so bumped stats instead of doing anything fancy.

I took average hp, +2 CHA, Poison Spray and Spiritual Weapon. Also traded Ice Knife for Scorching Ray.

Matrim (the player) will be stepping away from the game for a while.
I hope it's only temporary.

Matrim (the character) will return to Greyhawk City for a short while,
before going on a personal adventure into the Gnarley Forest.

Crapola..... gonna miss you big guy.

Meatshield! Nooooooo! ;p

My vote is to take the key and the book back to town. Give the key back to Theldrat and have the book examined by the same cleric that helped us find the cairn.

I'm pretty sure they'll come to us.
This message was last edited by the player at 22:20, Fri 10 May 2019.

Why would you not want to finish exploring the dungeon?

You've explored the whole place.
The only area left is the long passageway to the surface ...

What did the keys/ figurines do? I thought we picked up like 4 of them.

Also I vote for long rest and treasure hunt but I feel like that makes light of the cultest conspiracy.
This message was last edited by the player at 08:15, Sat 11 May 2019.

Veltargo stole the key, and the book.
He opened the locked book with the key.

Book has been damaged, pages torn out.

Adventurers recovered key and book.

What do ?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In that case, we get out of here.

We promised to find the key and bring it back to Theldrat. That is the path we contracted to do. Also if I remember right there is a reward waiting for the key.

You may remember that I mentioned that I'm using an adventure from an old DUNGEON magazine for the "recover Theldrat's key" storyline. So far most of what has occured has stuck to the adventure, and the written text in the DUNGEON magazine concludes with the pc's finding the key and returning it. (no spoilers haha !)

The adventure did not flesh out the greater plans of the CULT and Veltargo, the thief of the key and the book from the Great Library. I like the idea of sinister cults being up-to-no-good, and have fleshed them out in slightly-more-detail.

One benefit of rpol over here-and-now-around-the-table is that I have time to think and plan things a bit better.

The pc's have decided to leave the Tomb.
You can discuss here (or in the main thread) where you'd like to go next.
To Greyhawk City ? Don't forget that treasure map !

Will the pc's be hunted by cultists intent on recovering their book of DARK RITUALS ?

Time will tell ...

Whoah, whoah, whoah! We were hardly at a consensus here! The cultists don't need the book anymore! They got the pages they need. All we did was remove two cultists and one sacrifice from the table! They'll get more after they find these ones missing, if they even need them. How can we just leave? Theldrat will pay for his key no matter how soon we get it to him, unless this dark ritual ends the world or something.

Ok, what does Bhelmyr wish to do at the Tomb of Everflowing Blood, before leaving ?
Or does he wish to wait at the Tomb ?
For how long ?
How to prepare for any cultists arriving ?
How to desecrate the Tomb, if intended ?

Bhelmyr would suggest the party at the very least sets up some booby traps, collapses the entrances or smashes the statue, if not sticking around until the next mystically significant celestial phenomenon, ready to ambush the cultists when they arrive. Bhelmyr isn't suicidal, of course, so if he can't convince the party to stay, he will go with them.

As for specific preparations if the party stays: Butterbell standing watch at one entrance, trip-lines on the stairs to the other, bear-traps in the blood pool (if anyone is carrying bear-traps.) Rest up, but keep a watch. If anyone has trouble sleeping, we gtfo-- we don't need to fight cultists and exhaustion. Start with a short rest, the wounded can use hit dice, that way if we can't finish a long rest we still have a chance.

Now this is the sort of discussion we need !
What do other adventurers think of Bhelmyr's suggestions ?

I like this idea.

I don't have any bear traps but we could always make a short trip into the forest and round up some wood to make spikes.

As for short rest then long...  that's a pretty good idea.

I'm for smashing the place and setting some simple traps.

I need some incense to cast find familiar. Once I do, We could have Butterbell stay invisible indefinitely watching the caves. If and when she sees something, she can fly back to us. As for setting up traps, I can assist with whatever you guys are doing but I don't think Xander is capable of setting up traps himself. He does have 50 ft of rope he can contribute.

That's fine and I think it's a good idea.

Let's just get some in-games posts going so we can move this game forward. We've kinda stalled out here.

I don't think we're well enough equipped to even bother with the traps, honestly. Whatever traps we make could potentially kill what? One cultist each? At best? Either laying in wait for them to come back, or leaving and returning at a later date seem like more effective solutions to me as far as killing them goes.

I don't know how much we can desecrate a temple devoted to blood. Not without ridiculous amount of peroxide or something. Smashing the statue is a good idea, for sure. Maybe knocking down some columns in the last room, smashing all the walls that have writing or pictures drawn on them. There are certainly things we can do to deface the place. It's not a typical place where we could just piss in the holy water and call it a day.

We could go ahead and say some prayers. We don't have magic to consecrate it ourselves, but that doesn't mean a deity wouldn't be willing to do it on our behalf if they heard us call.

I second all of this. Let just vandalize, pray and make our way back to Greyhawk City.

Lol I like it

Unless anyone has objections,
I'll assume you guys start heading towards Stone Bridge ...

That was my understanding.

D&D Live 2019: The Descent

http://dnd.wizards.com/dndlive2019

D&D has really REALLY become popular these last few years.

It really has.

Sorry for the disappearance all. I just had to focus on some stuff happening. Ill be returning to the main thread shortly.

Glad to hear it.

Sorry I've vanished as well. Still around, just rl things messing me up. I'll be back into it shortly.

No problem, Cricket.

Welcome back, Matrim.

I know the feeling, my free time is at an all time low. I'm a new dad and there is so much to do. May lerk now and again but still here :)

In reply to Xander (msg # 285):

Ill have a cigar for you in honor of the new one!

Yeah, congrats!

Thanks been great but really challenging. Everything changes.

On a different note... Flying Gorillas with swords. Didn't know that was a thing I should be concerned about.

That's exactly what's eating my time, Xander. Lol That and family things. But yeah, congrats.

... just waiting for Kvanlanir and Cricket to :
- do something now if wanted, then
- roll initiative and declare round one action/s

Sorry, computer trouble set me back a few days.

Going to blame auto correct for the "startle the house" action. Been posting via phone recently, thought I was catching most of those.

Now that would be pretty damn terrifying!
This message was last edited by the player at 12:12, Fri 31 May 2019.

1) Yes, Matrim should roll intimidation for the war chant.

2) Bandish has chosen to target WA1 to attempt to pull the creature to the ground, but WA1 is already rolling on the ground putting out his flaming fur !
Does Bandish wish to move further forward and change targets to WA 2, 3 or 6 ?

Against the flying creatures, the THORN WHIP pull will really throw them off balance. They will be able to recover and remain in-flight, but it will screw their movement up, as they'll have to spend half their usual movement-time recovering. They'll only be able to move a short distance. 2 and 6 might make it to the western ground, but 3 will probably remain in open air during its next turn.

I have had Bandish target WA1, as its the only winged ape in range.
Unfortunately, the winged ape fought back ...

Are the Winged Apes who moved towards the illusion within melee range or are they out of reach?

Matrim, the winged apes (2 and 6) near the illusory Manticore are 20' away,
so you can move forward and attack them.

Would moving past them cause an attack of opportunity?

Yes, it would.
Check out the map.

I wasn't sure if they were still in the air or not.

Me either but now we know.

also.... BOSS .... the greatsword attack missed Bandish because I used a luck point to re-roll his to-hit against me. The result was a 3. So I only take damage from the fist attack.
This message was last edited by the player at 14:06, Sun 02 June 2019.

Oops ! Sorry, Bandish. I did read that in your post ... then forgot about it.
You're not as badly hurt as first thought.

When I transform I gain the HP of the creature. in this case 11. If I'm reduced below the HP of the creature I revert back and the human form takes the remaining damage.

so the spider just took 7 leaving it with 4. If I take 8 more next round the spider will be gone and the human form will take the 4 remaining points of damage.

I'm using two different spells, minor Illusion and silent image. Minor Illusion persists for a minute and doesn't take concentration, silent image requires an action to manipulate and does take concentration.

Trying to have minor image make silent image more believable but it takes an action to change the minor image sounds. So the last effect continues for 10 rounds.

Couple of questions:
1. How far away from me is Irontusk right now?
2. Can I get up onto the column at the corner of the bridge with a single movement action?

when you dump everything into strength and mostly ignore the world around you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVd8MrdWg5U

riding horse stats here :
https://roll20.net/compendium/...ding%20Horse#content

At the end of Round Four Irontusk is approximately 230' away from the northern stone column at Kvanlanirs side of Stone Bridge.

The stone columns are of a design that can be climbed. They are 20' away from Kvanlanir and could be climbed 5', 10' or 15' high (climbing part-way and hanging on/leaning against the column, or climbing all the way to the top).

During Irontusks turn in the upcoming Round Five, he will continue to flee, speeding his horse up and moving 90' (instead of standard horse 60') ... and then be out of sight.

Kvanlanir is acting before Irontusk in initiative, and could use a standard move action to move to the column, climb 5' (half-speed through difficult terrain, climbing up)(for a total of 30' move, if that's what you have). Keeping a steady balance while perched half-way up the column and firing an arrow (or doing whatever) will need a standard difficulty dex check ... otherwise you shake around and take disadvantage, so that's not too bad.

I'm making these rules up as I go here. Can you tell ?

EDIT : Thanks for the vid Matrim. I've been slowly getting through Oracle of Seasons lately.
This message was last edited by the GM at 07:28, Thu 13 June 2019.

Improv and a voice of authority are the DM's best friend. No one questions the voice of authority. (well, mostly no one)

You’re doing a great job boss.

Yep, very fair, good stuff

Ha! The dice say no lol

So we got 45 silver and 95 gold pieces + 140 gold from the dead halflings we found from the manticores. How do we want to divide that up? Do we want to include the 140 or do we want to try and return that capital from whence it came? Would like to buy some incense and a lot of drinks.

Divide it evenly among the characters who were there for the event.

So that's 140 four ways: 35 gp

And 95 five ways:  19 gp

With 45 silver five ways: 9sp

If bandish needs gold for any reason, I would be happy to split my total.

thanks...he's ok for now.

Leveled up.... WIS now 20.
Wild Shape improved and 2nd lvl spell slot added.

I agree the library might not be the best place for the book. Destroying it might be the best move.

Then.... curiosity killed the cat....but maybe not the bug...let's try that challenge course.

Challenge course sounds fun. Though the words "holodeck malfunction" keep running through my brain for some reason...

Myra....
Just like that you're back? A little comment in OCC would be nice. You totally left us hanging and just vanished without even a word.

I'm Gnorlin by the way... just a new character.

Hey man. Sorry guys rl medical stuff happened and I wasn't able to post. Just happy to be back.

Welcome back Myra !
Can you please include your class (Badass is ok), HP, AC (and Passive Perception (PP)) if it will all fit into your bio ?
Makes it easier for me to quickly see pc's HP/AC/PP during combat, etc.

Welcome to the ThunderLock Crawl !
Good Luck, adventurers !

 I hope you're felling better and making a recovery. Let's kick this dungeons ass then.

Thank you and working on it. All set DM.

I missed that the gate already closed, I'll edit so BB will take shelter under Xander's armour/pack

If you're concerned, I don't mind her making a swift fly-under-the-descending-grating-as-it-closes maneouvre, like Indiana Jones sliding under a closing stone door...

If that would be ok, that's what I was envisioning. With Matrim on the precipice, I thought the gates were still open and fast closing.

I haven't heard from Matrim,
and so I think we'll let the goliath sit this one out,
unless he arrives at The Wizard's Hat Inn,
gets drunk and goliaths his way through the dungeon and meets up with the adventurers.

Only the adventurers present for each obstacle/room/whatever will get XP for it,
but I also don't want to omit keen players from the game,
especially as it's rpol and slow-moving.

So, Matrim and Cricket are welcome to join in at any time,
but at the moment, it's just you 5 adventurers in the ThunderLock Crawl.

Good Luck !

I swear I posted yesterday...

Oh, I did. The thread just hadn't updated to show me that there was new stuff, so I'm posting for round one when we're already in round 2.

Alright, I'll try to get things updated then. Might not happen until tonight, after work.

Very sorry, was on island time at a lake for a few days.

YES! Matrim Smash!

Kvanlanir, do you mind if we make your posted action for Round 2 ?
You could stand up from being prone, and shoot the arrow.
(Myra will be successful in jamming the grating/trap behind the adventurers)

Also, if Matrim could roll initiative, I will incorporate his arrival into Round 2, as well.

That's fine

Being prone gives disadvantage to any attack roll if made on the prone character from greater than 5ft. It's on pg 292 of the players handbook under conditions.

Any chance this applies or should I make a connection check? All good either way.

Sorry dude, I missed that.
If we were around the table someone would have reminded me straight away.

I've edited the Round 3 post,
and put your HP back up.

Shoot, you beat me to the health edit. Thank you.

What all do I see from where I am now? Quick glance-wise?

Kvanlanir can see the two large crude carvings on either side wall. They both appear to be large bearded faces with their mouths open.

Bandish needs to make that CON save roll please.

From their northern-end-of-the-room vantage points, Bandish and Kvanlanir can see into the next area, which looks to be a stone-walled room 60' across, with multiple exits leading from it.

The floor looks to be a wooden walkway around the edge of the room, while in the center is a wide-and-shallow pit containing a large pile of moldy furs and feathers.

Kvanlanir makes for the next room, planning to stop just inside it, eyes out for threats.

Move and Look
23:57, Today: Kvanlanir rolled 23 using 1d20+4.  Perception.

my post has been edited to include my save... natural 1.....

Sorry made a major edit, hadn't realized the archway was already described.

Won't be posting for a few days. Internet trouble.

Lol love the update

Hahaha !
Bhelmyr calling out "Say when and I'll open this one at the same time!" cracked me up !
This particular scene would be funny to see in real life.
