I believe Grok gets to roll an extra 2d12 rather than just 1d12 on a Crit because of the half orc savage attack trait

Oh, right you are. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll remember that the next time :)

I have no idea how to award xp for this crazy adventure, but here is me trying to work it out:

Jail
- 12 "bandits", 25 xp each
- 4 level 4 NPCs, but without gear and only trying to flee: 350 each?
= 6 PCs: 283 xp per PC

{Hanson leaves the party}

Rift
- 10 dretches, 50 xp each
Tower
- 2 level 4 NPCs - 700 xp each
- Shadow Demon - 1100 xp
- 1 level 4 NPC - 700 xp
= 5 PCs: 740 xp per PC

Therefore, you each gain 1,023 xp. In addition, I generally award roleplaying and achievement awards, so let's call it 1,200, or exactly enough to reach level 3.

That was an excellent, fast paced adventure, if that term can be used for pbp! Thanks so much for running it and bringing me in. You're very skilled at keeping the action going and giving us enough information to go on.

So far I'm a 5e guy, but I'd love to play in a future game of yours.

Thanks again!

It was great to play with you, too.

I quite like this adventure, and you all played along great. It was difficult to keep you all from ending the adventure too soon by capturing Rigavian too soon, haha.

Did we score any loot, or payment for services?

I'll edit the epilogue post to add the award.

Loved it! Thank you, Qralloq!!!

So, will you be closing this game now, or is there any chance of carrying on...?

Thanks, Omenstar!

There is always a chance of continuing on. When I started this adventure, it was advertised to be a short one. I'm not opposed to continuing on, but that might not be the case for all of you.

If you do want to keep this one going, let me know and we can discuss what a next adventure might look like.

Sounds great to me!

I would absolutely love to carry on. The plan for Jhishma was to continue his "paladinhood" as a warlock - the Winter Queen of the Fey Court being his patron. It's his evolution as a Fey Knight.

I'm up for anything ;) I like the thing Grok & Nar has going on, but didn't really get a proper feeling for the character himself. Grok is at times a bit boring to play (bit of a one-trick pony, and doesn't have the intelligence to be helpful when making decisions). I might change out Grok for a Cleric or Rogue depending on what the party wants :)

I have to say this little adventure inspired me to do more PbP, and I'd love to continue playing with you guys

Strike that. Thought about it and I found out I want to see what happens to Grok. I've got two other games at the site where I can be eloquent and help make decisions ;)

"Grok gonna' help ya guys out. Just le'me know what needs hittin'"

Can't wait for chapter two!

Got lots of ideas for Chapter 2 - continuing on the path to uncover the Shades of Orcus and their wacky hi-jinks. Waiting to see if GM_Meyner is joining us. Also, I'm not fussy about having a healer in the group but if you would prefer one, we could advertise for a replacement for Baroril.

Is there anything that you guys want to see in the next bit? Prisons and Pirates? Warrens and Warhorses? Dungeons and Dopplegangers? Armadas and Armies? Forests and Frogs, Giant? Towers and Trolls?

I'm in

Woot. That last adventure was hard on casters - no chance to rest and regain spells. I promise not to do that to you again, heh.

I'm still rocking 3 potions and both scrolls to boot, "Watch out gents!"

I've got Kelvin all set for third level, are we going to run the next game in this same forum or will there be a new one.

Dungeons & Dragons! LoL
I'm a little afraid to answer this question. As a DM myself I like using undead, devils, slaadi, towers and crypts, swamps and lonely mountain passes, forgotten caves and tunnels and haunted castles, Giants and aberrations!

It sounds like fun!

I'm up for anything. Quite enjoyed the Bountyhunters/Lawmen theme we got going here, but there is no reason that can't escalate into standard monster-bashing dungeoneering adventuring :P

That being said, there are probably more dark cults that need their doors slammed down by 3 greataxes and some fireworks ;)
