I am starting to work on the first post, sorry if it's taking too long. It'll be up by tonight or tomorrow, for sure.

Okayyy, sorry for the delay. The first post is up. I also updated the map thread, but I need to update it again lol
Jun 22, 2016 8:29 pm
Do we all know each other already, or we haven't formed the merc band yet?
FYI, Skeinkaldr dislikes the "Nithe" attached to his name, as it is a branding of exile. All the more reason for him to smash a person unconscious across the room, of course, so the actions of someone innocently (or intentionally) using it would still result in a fight.

Haha, some of you may know each other. It's up to you. The group hasn't fully joined yet though. This would be just before that, so if you guys want to kill each other... now is a good time lol.
And good to know about the Nithe, I'll use it wisely.

Hey everyone, I will be away camping for a few days. Tearsofaclown as well (irl bud lol). Please continue on with everything and regulate amongst yourselves. I trust you guys, so RP and stuff... I look forward to some slight progression when I get back :)
Happy Canada Day!!

Yeah, sorry about the slow start guys. Didn't mean for this to turn into Tavern Simulator 2012. Im still new to DMing xD
Jul 16, 2016 3:53 am
No worries, man the RP is fun so far. It's kinda hilariously sad that Malethor takes himself so seriously and everybody elses is like, "yeah, whatever."
Jul 28, 2016 11:26 am
Hey, I'll be away till Monday. Going deep into the wilderness for a couple days. If I don't come back, I died fighting a bear. ;)

Lmao no, I made it back alive... Including my butthole. Water filter worked like a charm.

Work will have me tied up from now until the 24th. Posts from me will be a bit rare. Please feel free to move my character along if necessary.

I'm excited to continue with more people. Lool forward to fleshing out these characters and throwing them in.

Hello, looking forward to getting started.
What does the active party look like (race/class)?
What does the active party look like (race/class)?
Nov 16, 2016 6:09 am
We have about three active players. Jabes posts when he can, but Cancer and Moo are active often. The members for the other three aren't active. Gellbran wont come back as he didn't like pbp format. Too slow paced for him.
Xhava (the Dragonborn Cleric)
Skeinkaldr Nithe-Tuttugufjall (the Goliath Barbarian)
Malethor Adranath (the Human Revenant Anti-Paladin)
Ebri Shaikoth (the tiefling Warlock)
Gellbran (the half-orc Fighter)
Aimee (the Vampire Bard)
Edit: Made a thread in Adventure with an updated list of players and npcs.

Working on a post to introduce the new characters into the story. Will need some time to throw it together. Too hard on mobile and my desktop time is limited lol. It'll be up soon-ish :)

Same here. I understand the stresses it takes to get a nice mobile platform, but it certainly would be nice.

Really enjoyed reading those intros.
I only found one noticeable error, in the above quoted text, i'm guessing no is supposed to be now.

Oh, I shall fix that. And I'm glad, tried my best to set up something to work with. Now I can sit back and see the madness unfold :P
Nov 23, 2016 9:30 pm
Do you mean in a specific situation? As of now, I dont see what terrain you have selected. Choose one type of favored terrain from: arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, or the Underdark. Then edit it into your character sheet in brackets beside the feat. Also, I'll get back to you on that noble history question. Need to think about it a bit lol.
Nov 23, 2016 9:38 pm
The pdf doesnt say anything about picking a terrain though it just says natural world, that is why I didn't put one.
• You ignore difficult terrain.
• You have advantage on initiative rolls.
• On your first turn during combat, you have advantage on attack rolls against creatures that have not yet acted.
No worries, take your time.
OOC:
You are a master of navigating the natural world, and you react with swift and decisive action when attacked. This grants you the following benefits:• You ignore difficult terrain.
• You have advantage on initiative rolls.
• On your first turn during combat, you have advantage on attack rolls against creatures that have not yet acted.
Nov 23, 2016 9:45 pm
It depends on if you went the UA Revised Ranger or PHB Ranger. In the UA Revised version, they removed the selection of terrain and instead it's ANY time you are in a natural terrain it takes effect. Part of trying to make Ranger competitive.
Nov 23, 2016 10:00 pm
I was allowed to use the Revised Ranger. In this instance, would natural explorer be applied, as I'm in the woods but the fight might take place in a basement or somesort?
Nov 23, 2016 10:42 pm
Oh yeah, my bad. Forgot you used revised ranger. If you fight outside it should apply, however inside the basement it wont.
Nov 23, 2016 10:51 pm
Okay, got it, thank you.
I suppose I'll ask here, I can't see the redbrand inside, even though I ignore half and 3-quaters cover, correct?

Nov 23, 2016 11:09 pm
Not in this situation, the angles wont line up, however if you move closer to the door's entrance you can. Otherwise, the gate has to be open.
Nov 23, 2016 11:20 pm
Yeah, you can take your turn. You rolled beast initiative, take advantage on any skill rolls your turn. Also, apply your advantage on attack if you happen to attack from outside.
Nov 23, 2016 11:48 pm
I'm sorry, I think I might have missed something. Why isn't the Redbrand attacking at disadvantage even though he failed his WIS save?
Nov 24, 2016 12:12 am
No that was my fault, confused myself because he had two attacks. He rolled a 5 on first attack and 15 on second attack.
Nov 24, 2016 2:00 am
It is just roll to hit, apparently, if he hits I take 4 damage.

Valcos says:

The attack never actually got off because Xhava and Ryunir had better initiatives and killed him lol. So you still have your daily action thing.
Nov 24, 2016 11:55 pm
Thank you, Happy Turkey Day to all of you as well.
Quick question to Valcos, feel free to say no but I took alarm under the impression I could ritual cast it but then remembered that ritual casting isn't a given to all spellcasters. Would I be able to switch out alarm for something else?

Nov 25, 2016 1:12 am
Awesome, thanks, just switched it with the spell I was planning to take at third level anyway (granted I make it that far).
Yeah, I wasn't sure if I could move over the carts handles or not, if not I'd be about 1 or 2 squares off.
Valcos says:
OOC:
Lets say each square is 5ft.Nov 27, 2016 4:13 am
Not sure if you missed it cause of the high modifier or you're more lenient to PC's, but I rolled a Natural 1 on that attack.
Nov 27, 2016 6:57 am
I felt like the expert marksman would punish himself more for that terrible miss than I could, so I let that one slide. :)
Dec 6, 2016 12:08 am
Are the concentration spells interrupted or ended? Are we (Ryunir/Malethor) aware that our memories were shared? Did I see Malethor's memory and vice versa? After the dream, are we free to act?
Sorry for all the question, it is a weird situation to say the least and I'm trying to get a better understanding.

Dec 6, 2016 12:52 am
Yeah, it is a weird situation. Nothics apparently are one of the stranger creatures to RP as. But yeah, in this situation, the Nothic is exposing some past memory of Malethor/Ryunir. He succeeded the against your rolls. Everyone in the group saw the memories. The spell was just interrupted during the dream state, now everything is back to normal. Though I'll roll the Nothic's initiative.
Dec 6, 2016 4:28 am
Okay a few more, do we know the Nothic peered into our memories?
Since Hunter's Mark was interrupted, would I need to recast it using a spell slot or is it still "active" in a sense?
Would where we are now be considered natural?

Yeah, you all know the Nothic is messing with your brains. Hunter's Mark is still active, you didn't have to make a check because you didnt take any damage. The cavern is a natural environment.

This is if, I'm correct and Malethor is leading the Nothic to the bodies.Dec 6, 2016 9:19 am

I'd imagine so, as it is similar to Hunter's Mark.

Necrotic is like a temporary debuff to your max health, so it can't be healed until after a long rest. Nasty stuff.

Sorry, I messed up.
Initiative - (1d20+4)
( 1 ) + 4 = 5
Intimidation Adv. - (1d20+4)
( 20 ) + 4 = 24
The intimidation should of said initiative, cause Ryunir has a +0 for intimidation.

Would I get another turn since the initiative was mistaken or how should we play that out? I'm a little lost on where we are at for initiative.
Dec 10, 2016 7:01 am
Oops yeah I thought we were back at the top but I forgot about the initiative mix-up. Apologies.
Dec 11, 2016 2:52 am
Oh, missed this thread because I just refreshed the game thread lol. Yeah the order got a little messed. Zephyr and Skein still have to go. Basically don't want the rats to attack in the case y'all kill them. Malethor is beating up a paralyzed Nothic at the moment :)
Dec 13, 2016 1:13 pm
Hey, how has everyone been calculating their exp? I was assuming we were doing the continuous exp chart and not the 'reset when level' method. I just want to double check.
Dec 13, 2016 3:02 pm
The way I figured it, those of us that just joined are at 850/900 right now (assumed starting at a flat 300 for the level, 400 for the thugs, 150 for the nothic)

The initiative order I have is:
Ryunir
Xhava
Zephyr
Skeinkaldr
Redbrands
Malethor
I know I might have mixed up the order. I read the description that Skeinkaldr "had an opportunity to swing his warhammer at another thug" as a bonus attack, but I might have been mistaken.
Malethor did make his attack, followed by Ryunir. Then the bugbear showed up. Might be Xhava's turn!

What CancerMan said.
Ryunir was the last one to act. But then some new combatants showed up. Not sure how that affects the turn order.

I've had some GMs that have you do all leveling action as soon as you have the XP, I've had others that don't allow you to gain the benefits until after a short or long rest, etc.
Jan 9, 2017 1:01 am
Oh, I've always done instant gains. So, update all your stuff now. :)
Also, let me know what your level 3s are looking like. What paths you are going with the build and such.

Took the Hunter Conclave (p. 7). Took the average HP and added Cure Wounds. Wasn't sure if you regain your HP when you level so I left the current as is. Same with spells, I just added the slot I got from leveling.

Jan 9, 2017 2:15 am
I can't remember if this was asked, but may I use the new Barbarian Primal Paths from Unearthed Arcana? I would like Skeinkaldr to take the Path of the Storm Herald: Tundra option.
Jan 9, 2017 2:25 am
Malethor raised to 3rd Level. As planned, I took Vow of Death.
Jan 9, 2017 2:55 am
Yup, all the material looks good. That primal path for Skein seems interesting. Seems like its a less barbaric approach and like he has to study or train or something. Not sure how you want to work that into your roleplay, but let me know if you need help working something in. Also, killing a god with Malethor... got to figure that out lol.
Jan 9, 2017 3:17 am
I was thinking that Skeinkaldr's path could be more of a latent energy that exists inside him. When he enters into his Rage, he unwittingly taps into that energy, which manifests as the cold storm. Blinded by rage, he is unaware of what is happening. Similar to Aang in his avatar state, or untrained Jedi, it's not so much a controlled discipline; it just happens.
Let me know if this interpretation is acceptable. If not, I can take the Berserker path.
