Yes you can, or there's plenty going on in the gatehouse and there's plenty more to explore further into the canyon.

Had a pretty busy day today. I'll try to get my starting equipment purchased tomorrow, then I think I'll be ready to join the game at the DM's convenience.

Yes let's know when you're ready and we'll get you started. You can join up with the others or go it alone. I'm happy either way.

Ah, I've played this game long enough to immediately identify the them: pygmy flying anteaters.

Aye. Lots of classic monsters here.

Congratulations you found some treasure! Stonehell is notorious for hiding it's treasure and it's slim pickings. Maybe not worth heading back to town yet but at least now you won't be going back empty handed.

How's everyone enjoying the game? The reason I selected Stonehell was because it's very easy for me to provide updates and keep my part of the game going so I can do this quickly without too much time spent. What works well for you as players? Is the pace okay slow/fast? Is there enough information and description for you?

Seems pretty good so far. I'm a bit slow getting started, because some work stuff popped up this past week so I didn't have much time to read through the adventure so far. I'll try to be a bit more on the ball this week.

It's okay, there's no rush for anyone to post. I wanted to check that all the players were as engaged as they wanted to be. We've been playing now for 3 months and some players have dropped out. On Rpol that seems expected but I felt we should work to avoid it and keep the numbers up as much as we can.

Thumbs up.

I wouldn't give the departed a second thought. This dish just isn't for them.

It would probably be good to have 4 or 5 regular posters. We'll get there.

Why is Urkov still on the roster?

The only thing that I'd like is just a party issue, as we keep splitting up, and I'd prefer to stick together. But the adventure is going fine.

Why not designate one of us as a magnet character such that, unless otherwise noted, all active characters follow the magnet?

Or maybe the magnet character is whoever has opened the last door, turned down the next passageway, etc.

Yes I do agree the party is acting disorganised. Some times that can be fun but I predict it will lead to disaster. Otherwise it's your game and you can do whatever you like.

If you want set up some sort of 'speaker/magnet' then let me know and we can implement it.

I remember a game I was playing when we had a good table full so decided to open 6 doors at the same time. It was mayhem and fun but not at all organised or sensible. We all agreed not to do it again but regularly still make the chant 'one more door' when we really should be planning our exit from the dungeon.

Urkov's player has been checking in so I sent them a PM, awaiting a reply.

Haha, and now I think it might be a good idea for Fiene to peer down from the second trapdoor.

I was planning to do just that...

Bravo. Let's leave those wasps for tomorrow when Barnabas can cast sleep again.

I'm confused.  The is another trap door in the floor of this room?  I thought I was opening the door that goes north?(into another room I suppose)

Never mind, we're not in the wasp room any more.

Yes the party was becoming very fractured. With the helpful posts from Ben and Anfinn I took the decision to reunite everyone. So as it stands you're all avoided the wasps and are standing above a trapdoor which leads by a ladder back to the ground floor. It now up to you what happens next. I do believe the party does have another sleep up its sleeves if they choose to use it as Ben has suggested. You can head down the ladder or even take the long route all the way out the way you came and enter the northern portion of the gatehouse from the door on the ground level.

Bertilak, did you prepare sleep? Did you want to try it on the wasps?

I did, and I don't mind using it on the wasps. :)

I didn't draw this but a good indication of what the box canyon looks like.

Looks like a horseshoe cavern.

Well, we can't leave the goblins in the gatehouse to murder travelers.

Close the door, organize, and kill three goblin archers first?

Teodore will be up for anything that removes the goblin threat once and for all. Just an FYI to all, I will be AFK from Friday till Monday night. My family has a long weekend ahead, so we're headed to my late father-in-law's house to take care of some things while we have a few days. Do your best not to get Teodore killed, please. :)

Hope all goes well at the weekend.

Are we using a generic d6 for all weapon damage rolls?
