Fred, check your latest post in the main thread.  I think you've missed a closing tag somewhere, because the layout of all the posts after yours is broken.

Note: not seen on the responsive site (r.rpol.net), but you can definitely see it on the classic site (rpol.net)...

In reply to Keely Navila (msg # 74):

I do have a table in the GM private, it looks ok on the r.rpol... but I do see that every words after that is orange in your posts. Trying to fix it

EDIT is it ok now?

Yeah, looks good now.

Private and Secret tables are messy, I know.

well you guys did short work of those rats...

After the second platform, there is a third one, with some scratching on the wall that look like the writing you couldn't read on the pillars, and you can reach the bottom, no more interruptions. Tell me what you are looking for if you want more details ;)

Yes...  A Phantom of the Opera reference...   lol

In reply to Vang (msg # 78):

Lol, love the Phantom of the opera, I did see it at the theater, seated 6 rows from the scene, I was signing along under my breath with the performers lol.

Les Mis, Phantom and Cats are my three favorites. I've seen Les Mis in various theaters over 25 times...  Cats about 10...  And Phantom once (but only because it has rarely ever played in an area when i was living there)...

So...  Seriously...  Everyone is going to ignore the cat who passed out with an arrow STILL sticking from his side?  Y'all are just mean! =p

Just rub some dirt in it....it'll be fine!

;P

just a query for all...are we having a long rest or short? I was under the impression a long rest (Hence i used the spell)

If short, i would not have used it

Either is fine with me

i don't mind short since i can use hit dice to recover most of my currently missing hp but, in all honesty, i'd rather have our healer at full capacity... And, as i said in Discord...  if we do a long rest, we all completely recover our HP which saves our HD for a future "oh shit" moment; we currently have the safety of the small, single entrance room whereas we have no clue where we'll find a safe spot again; and, based on travel time and our encounters so far, it is probably late afternoon or early evening so a rest would apropos...

Short or long doesn't matter to me. We didn't have any discussion about it, so I assumed it was short. If we need it to be long though, nbd.

i can continue with a short, but i have one healing slot left - and as Lissa said, this place is defendable

Apologies, for some reason I thought I had posted.

A classic line. If you know, you know.

"I would like to Rage."

very classic line

So polite, it must be a Canadian barbarian lol

Canadian barbarian

'I would like to rage, ei'

"I would like to rage, eh?  Soory!"

ROFL

Not sure that the additional rats wouldn't make it a challenge...  We had some extremely good rolls the last two combats while your rolls were rubbish...

But you can always increase their hp on the fly if you think a given battle is going too easy...

I could, or really roll their hp instead of using the average in the book. I do try to follow the module though, since its the first time all of you play it

Occasional easy fights are part of the game. I wouldn't worry about it. If bosses seem too weak, give them more hp, increase their damage, giving them a new spell, etc. There's plenty of stuff you can do to make things harder if you need to. You're supposed to have 4-8 encounters per day, including some easy ones like this, to make the resting system actually function correctly.

Is there a map to all of these rooms?  Otherwise, I'll have to do some sort of write up to keep track of all of these rooms.
