I enjoy theatre of the mind for the most part, but I think with such a large group a map will be useful for encounters. What does everyone think?
Jan 27, 2023 9:22 am
Nothing against theater of the mind, but personally I prefer maps
Jan 27, 2023 10:38 am
I actually prefer theater of the mind, but I feel that PbP works best with maps for any meaningful battle. Simple is fine, but it helps everyone to be on the same page.
Jan 27, 2023 1:16 pm
I prefer maps but don't mind theater if the mind
Jan 27, 2023 1:20 pm
I have Athletics skill from my race and also from my background. Should I just ignore one of them?

I love maps.
Jan 27, 2023 2:50 pm
You can change the one from your background for a different skill, per the PHB.

You can instead change the one from your race, per TCE.

Pretty sure either way you approach it, you're allowed to take a different skill instead.
Jan 27, 2023 3:05 pm
Sounds like maps for encounters then!

Genecortess, I’m good with raw obviously. You’re good to pick a different skill.

Also, I’ve had my rubber arm twisted, but I’ll throw it out to the group. Should we go RAW for death saves, or leave it custom.
Jan 27, 2023 4:45 pm
I think a simple map at least, will hope avoid a lot of questions and confusion.
I'm pretty sure our characters will never die, so no need to worry about that 😂
Jan 27, 2023 5:21 pm
If you wanna run custom character deaths, do it. It's your world, we're just living in it.
Jan 27, 2023 5:29 pm
[ +- ] custom rules
I am fine with custom. A little urgency is fine.
A couple of questions,
What causes you to "save against Death"?
Do Healer's kits and a medicine checks still save the dying? Do they now grant 1 hp to follow the rule "by healing 1 or more HP"?
Last edited January 27, 2023 5:30 pm
Jan 27, 2023 6:25 pm
As is, medicine check stops the dying, but you would still be at 0 hp. The custom rule was brought up and it was more for drama. I admit, I like the flavour of characters staving on death on their own whether through sheer will, god/patron intervention, deal with a devil, etc. it’s great for character development. My rule kinda takes that away and makes it seems like death is mechanical.

Dammit, I feel like I’m arguing against myself now..

Anyway, as for a failed death save in the mechanic, it’s very situational. I had one very recently, though. I was flying at 100 ft and got knocked unconscious. The DM said I auto-failed my first death save as I crashed into the ground. By my rule, you would be super dead on impact.
Jan 27, 2023 6:54 pm
You could tweak your rule to still allow death save instead of removing them by merging death saves with the bleeding out.
Quote:
Each round any character at 0 who has not been stabilized rolls a death save DC 10. Each failed death save increases the death save DC by 3. Character can be stabilized with a successful medicine check against the death save DC, or magical healing. Use of a healers kit gives advantage on medicine checks to stabilize character.
Keep the - damage for death instead of additional damage counting as a failed death save. This allows rolls, but the longer you're friends wait the more likely you are to die. Or something like that. There are lots of ways to play with it.
Jan 28, 2023 10:48 pm
Alright, I’ve change unconscious/death to RAW. I’m a softy, I guess.

I’ve officially opened the Salvation Outpost chat! You may begin your journey now. Please introduce your character, their motives and describe anything they may do in their way to the Grey Beyond.

I will post once every one is there.

Sorry to hear that. If you want to rejoin the group later? I can leave you active

Hope you get well soon.
For my part, sorry I haven't been posting, but I have been paying attention.
This week has just been really crazy with work and personal, but rest assured I'm here and will post ASAP.
Feb 1, 2023 4:21 am
Sounds good.
Feb 1, 2023 7:42 pm
It looks like you’re going with the scout mission. If you’re in agreement, head out to the salvage market. I’ll make my post about it this evening.
Feb 3, 2023 7:27 pm
If I’m posting too fast, let me know.

Give me a group perception check to stay on the path (DC 13)
Does this mean that everyone rolls a perception check, or that there is one roll for everybody? Sorry, still learning the game
Feb 4, 2023 4:36 pm
No worries. It means everyone makes the check and it gets averaged out. I set the dc pretty low. Gzizmix is perceptive af apparently.
Feb 5, 2023 9:14 pm
my parents are separating for real instead of being upset with each other presence inside the same house. I can't really put my mind to post anything today
Feb 10, 2023 9:18 pm
is it worth it for Vice to take the large warforged's weapon? I don't know if that would significantly reduce his damage output or not. Or should i just run?
Feb 10, 2023 9:42 pm
It would probably a normal DEX check using your turns action, only one attack will not change much unless it's a crit , so I do find worth it. If you fail you can just bonus action to disengage a run away

In that case the #1 warforged would be a good target, I belive he's nearly dead
Feb 10, 2023 10:17 pm

And disarmed. The fates have conspired against him. He legit rolled a natural 1 on initiative.
Feb 13, 2023 8:32 pm
[ +- ] discussion on critical hits
Do you not max all damage dice? What about the sneak Attack damage? Do the critical affect it?
Ex:1d4 +1d6+3 (critical) = 4+6+3+(1)+(4)

I am not sure what is meant by "only add additional crit damage once on an attack"
Feb 13, 2023 9:01 pm
I agree, sneak attack is a damage die. 18 damage makes sense.

Simplistically, max all damage dice, roll and add damage dice, last add all modifiers.

Make sense?
Feb 13, 2023 9:19 pm
Feel free to hack away at the poor guy.
Feb 13, 2023 9:22 pm
Quote:

I was just saying that you can't get the critical damage bonus twice for both rolling a 20 and the automatic criticals from my Hold. You just get the extra critical damage once (+10) not (+20) on a single attack/hit.

If you attack again (with your off-hand) you would get additional critical damage on that attack (+6). You won't get the +4 from sneak attack because you can only use Sneak Attack once per turn and the additional attack comes on the same turn.

Agree with all of this. You still need to roll an attack on poor mister Titan. There is possibility you hit his armour, etc. If you hit, it’s a crit tho.
Feb 13, 2023 10:29 pm
Gotcha, I probly shoulda attacked instead of putting distance between us for the bonus action. Live an learn.

Well.. in game.. you don't really know what exactly is happening or will happen.
Also, out of game, he gets a save every round and he could break my hold on his turn and swat you.
So your move may be safer.
Feb 13, 2023 11:09 pm
good point, Vice is very delicate, lol

lol, that's a good point.
Feb 18, 2023 1:22 am
I'm outta town, and possibly offline this weekend. DM can play for me if needed to keep the game moving
Feb 20, 2023 10:07 pm
Just recommendations on division on loot
Watch of Surge - melee warrior
Cloak of Resistance - any major dps likely to be targeted by hold/paralysis
Scribe’s Pen - Gzizmix would like this
The Sword - sell it to a museum or collector after getting it appraised
Ring of Air Elemental Command - rogue/ spell caster/???
3 potions of healing - spread out to those without healing abilities

Question, how many people here can cast healing spells? As a ranger I have goodberry but I would like to devote mine 3 slots to other things
Feb 20, 2023 10:39 pm
I have Cure Wounds on my list.
Feb 20, 2023 10:56 pm
Gzizmix had cure wounds.
Feb 21, 2023 12:17 pm
I do not have any healing spells.
Feb 21, 2023 1:21 pm
Core has no healing ability either.
Feb 21, 2023 1:35 pm
No healing for Vice
Feb 21, 2023 1:39 pm
@MaJunior does 37 show the others what he stuck in his bag of holding? Gzizmix can use the Cartographer's tools. Can the party use his bag of holding for lot storage?

Will we collect the gear for sale back in town?
Last edited February 21, 2023 1:40 pm

We can use it to hold everything and take it to town for sale, yeah. That was the plan.

He probably wouldn't think to show the other stuff since it wasn't anything out of the ordinary, but if asked he'd show it.
Feb 21, 2023 2:55 pm
I threw a lot of items at you. Here’s a summary of what there is and who has it currently. Would you prefer a separate chat to keep track? It won’t always be a treasure trove though.

Flag of Cyre ir’Wynarn
Rope of climbing
These two belong to Earic, not sure who has them

36 crossbow bolts
3 shields
3 potions of healing
3 great swords
3 heavy crossbows
1 Giant sword
1 Heavy shield
Salvage from the warforged. Currently stored in the cart.
There’s also the tents

Cartographer’s Tools - 37
Navigator’s Tools - 37
Map of Lake Arul area
Elemental Land Cart - Core is close to attunement
Chest containing the Colonel’s effects
Colonel’s lithograph
Colonel’s uniform
Watch of Surge
Sword of the Southern Front
Crimson Handan’s Shroud - requested by Mordacky
Scribe’s Pen - Gzizmix
Ring of Air Elemental Command - Malbor is close to attunement
The Colonel’s journal - Gzizmix
Feb 21, 2023 6:13 pm
If I can make it out with the Shroud and a potion of healing then I am happy.

@nictorah, Is the Giant sword one handed despite it's upgrade damage die? What is the statistical different on the "heavy shield" vs the other shields, anything?
Feb 21, 2023 6:26 pm
As Titans go, Malleator was a small one, but he was still incredibly strong. His equipment would be oversized for anyone that is not large sized. His sword and shield each weigh 150 pounds. The blade of the sword alone was over 6 feet long.

A small peek behind the curtain tho, he was going be my Big Bad for the early stages of the story. He was supposed to run away when things got bad. Lol. Love it tho. Never plan for anything past the first roll.

Guess I’ll have to come up with something more difficult for you next time.
Feb 21, 2023 6:42 pm
Rumor has it, he had a twin brother who might be looking to avenge his death... 🤔

Hmmm, much bigger than I was picturing. Ok.

Of course, ask the important question "That was a titan what/who?" "Oh we did have one."

Feb 21, 2023 9:16 pm
and nice since Core has land vehicle skill.
Feb 22, 2023 1:20 am
Lol. Btw, I’m only busting your chops about the flag. Gzizmix folded it up at the time. The rope isn’t as important, no one claimed it at the time.
Feb 22, 2023 1:34 am
All loot goes on the bag. Life insurance for 37.
Feb 22, 2023 2:32 am
You also have a shiny coach the holds nearly 5,000 lbs
Feb 22, 2023 3:47 am
I don't think that will fit in the bag
Feb 22, 2023 3:50 am
🤣🤣🤣
Feb 23, 2023 8:06 am
Ok, these are the base salvage values of what you’ve collected. It’s a starting point for negotiations. You don’t have to sell to Belaluur, you could test the waters with the other brokers as well. I leave that up to you. I’ll say the chest is yours as there would be less argument about those spoils from the warforged. You can still sell the items for the coin if you wish. The coach will obviously be a sticking point among the brokers as it is clearly Cyran and nobles would definitely covet it.

36 crossbow bolts - 3 gp
3 shields - 15 gp
3 potions of healing - 40 gp
3 great swords - 75 gp
3 heavy crossbows - 75 gp
1 Giant sword - 125 gp
1 Heavy shield - 125 gp
Salvage value 455 gp

Gold from Belaluur, 350 for the group.

Elemental Land Cart - 5,000 gp
Chest containing the Colonel’s effects
Colonel’s lithograph - interesting, but not valuable
Colonel’s uniform - 125 gp
Watch of Surge - 50 gp
Sword of the Southern Front - 50 gp
Crimson Handan’s Shroud - Mordacky - 50 gp
Scribe’s Pen - Gzizmix - 25 gp
Ring of Air Elemental Command - Malbor - 250 gp
The Colonel’s journal - Gzizmix - depends on the buyer.

Edit: Btw, it’s not meant to be math, it meant to be fun. RP the negotiations, see where the dice land. You don’t need to worry about losing the coach. How much debt you end up in will work out in the story.
Feb 23, 2023 9:31 am
Core isn't keen on any of the items. He is more interested in the coins he will get. Only exception is the use of the Elemental Land Cart for a Sharn trip. He doesn't add anything otherwise and really has no skill for pricing and sales. At most he just knows if something is expensive or not. Core is not a very bright person or social. Oh, and besides being called "Core the Scavenger", he is also known as "The Croc". Party can surely see why he has a second name.

It is not a favored thang to get Core angry. And why he knows a bit about land vehicles is another story. He never talks about his past and people tend to get that fairly fast. Although he will talk about scavenging. :)

I am surprised no one called dibs on the Watch of Surge. Can Kleber keep it? Also is the Captain's journal blank? Mark of Scribe invisible ink dissapears after 7 days but the Mournlands anomalous nature might change that

The scribe’s pen is definitely permanent unless it’s on a creature. Then it lasts a week. Which, without giving you ideas, is the worst party prank ever, because it’s magical and you can’t wash it off.
Feb 23, 2023 5:05 pm
Ah yes, the classic drawing on sleeping people prank... normally followed by the "you're going to need a diamond worth 300gp" prank.

She isn't paying the price Nictorah gave us (455gp)? Also we probavly should NOT sell the health potions
Feb 23, 2023 8:24 pm
I took out the potions , I figured you’d want them and the 455 did not include the uniform and decorative sword. I rounded up a bit
Feb 25, 2023 1:35 pm
I calculated out 621.42 for each persons share of the debt, is that right on?
Feb 25, 2023 2:28 pm
Yep. I mean, I’m looking to do side quests for anyone yet. Group debt is probably easier
Feb 25, 2023 3:06 pm
I thought we each got 50 and the rest went towards the cart?
Feb 25, 2023 3:15 pm
We all use the wagon so we all pay at this point but each should have some money for personal use. I agree with the 50GP each and remainder towards the wagon
Feb 25, 2023 3:19 pm
I did give each of you the 50 gp. 650 to the cart. 4350 remaining, divided 7, 642 gp 42 sp

Edit: …with a 7% per annum interest rate, amortized over one year and monthly payments of 376 gp 39 sp, it will take one year to pay off the loan… if you choose to go to a bank… I’m not a bank

Going through old comments. I won’t tip my hand, but there may have been missed opportunities. I did say, see where the dice land.

As for the potions, Core was the only to comment that he’s not interested.
Feb 26, 2023 3:31 am
Also, I wanted to check. I’ve been rolling for situations for the day, would you rather make the rolls? I would ask for a d20 and the first one to roll would set the day/night.
Feb 26, 2023 3:41 am
Go ahead and keep rolling I say.
I am in another game where the DM does all rolls so I'm just happy to be able to roll in combat 😊

May we have a listing of what currently is going to be bagged?
Feb 26, 2023 7:12 am
Since we're in debt, anything with a resale value? But it's not my bag

Now to self, don't plan on healing Malbor.
Feb 26, 2023 7:32 am
I think that leaves 37 and Malbor that haven’t shopped. Are you good to go?
Feb 26, 2023 11:38 am
Adding the potion to Mordaky's sheet, thanks for clarification :)
Feb 26, 2023 9:08 pm
Can't think of anything 37 would need in the moment. Not needing rations or water or proper sleep makes basic survival a breeze. Lol

The stuff he'd be looking for, we don't have enough gold for yet.
Feb 27, 2023 9:41 pm
Oh yes, suspicious cat lady who appeared out of nowhere, among the cursed ruins of a mighty kingdom. I do want to enter your circus

You guys have been quiet today. I was waiting to see what Kleber would do. I can move ahead though.

I think for me this is a classic, split the party so we gotta wait for the 'action' side of the split to resolve before moving forward. Unless the goal is for all of us to abandon camp and go into the circus?
Mar 3, 2023 2:57 pm
I feel like a reminder that you have a weekly reroll might be in order. You’ve been doing pretty good on the rolls so far. Just in case you want a better result. It resets every Saturday night
Mar 9, 2023 1:52 pm
For those that failed the save, you can still interact with the circus. *wink wink* *nudge nudge*

Although incredibly, no one from the puzzle failed the save…
Mar 9, 2023 2:22 pm
I failed my save didn't I?
I have no idea what is going on in the circus. I guess I will have to read up...
Mar 9, 2023 2:36 pm
Yep, failing the save, puts you back in the circus. I don’t wanna give too much away, everyone wants to kill the hydra, but there’s still people to save…
Mar 9, 2023 2:47 pm
I was never in the circus so this is all new to me and much of the circus stuff was hidden from us outside.

Kleber is currently with his long bow in hands, RAW he can't he put it back on his back and unsheathe his 2 short swords to attack in the same turn, he could only drop the bow on the floor and attack with one sword.

Should i follow the rule or can I ignore It?
Mar 9, 2023 5:14 pm
I’ll allow it. It’s a weapon change IMO.

no problem since I can not read the notes to those where were inside I really have no idea what happened before the tent exploded or whatever that was
Mar 9, 2023 5:41 pm
Kleber is cursed with bad luck. 3 attacks at the start, miss all. Cast magic miss, wis save natural one.... Even if he passed the spell check he would miss the hydra's AC

One DnD rules will allow drawing weapons as part of an attack, to fix that.

Been reading the one dnd posts, i did not like the way they handled Druids wild shape. But hey at least Paladin can use smite with their's fist now
Mar 9, 2023 7:43 pm
There are a lot of One D&D changes that they're currently testing that honestly... I don't much like.

I'm not sure Paladins needed to smite unarmed, but they also can smite with ranged weapons in the current play-test, which is kinda off-brand and will make them the potential best archers. They also got tons of little boosts, which IMO they totally didn't need.

There's plenty of good and bad in there for sure, but a lot of the small stuff fixes little problems. The classes are currently a bit of a mess.
Mar 10, 2023 2:22 am
Honestly, at least from what I've seen (and I will admit, I'm not waiting with baited breath for every tweet, post, or playtest release) it looks like the bad is outweighing the good? I dunno... seems to be in an odd place for sure.
Mar 11, 2023 12:31 pm
Question, when a PC fails the Wis save do they forget about the Hydra's existence or are we just teleported to the circus space? And Kleber failing his save means he lost concentration right?
Last edited March 11, 2023 12:31 pm
Mar 11, 2023 1:40 pm
Yes, concentration would be lost. As for the hydra, yes, his song makes you forget he exists. The amnesia effects are limited to the hydra though. You would remember the circus spirits in both their performer and spectral appearances, just not why you keep blipping between versions.

When you see the hydra, it’s obvious it’s hostile.

If one day those low roll streaks ever kill mine PC, I am going to snap, making a Divination Halfling Wizard with the Lucky feat. He will do low damage, eat all spells slots in one encounter, and be suboptimal in general, but will never get less than 10 on a dice again

GeneCortess says:
Should I roll each round to end the Howl of the head effect?
Nope, the effect only takes place while the scream is happening. Since the second head dropped, the scream stopped. You can come out of it anytime you want. I was allowing you to choose to stay in the circus in case there was something you wanted to do there.
Mar 14, 2023 5:35 am
Okay on the scream. I guess Core now sudden realizes the Hydra is there after it tries to bite him. Circus will probably fade too at the same time as Core clears his thinking. Hello real world. And I can see Core probably going get rather enRAGED again soon. Forget that longsword. He has two more Rages to use yet. He is taking rank and order with his mind and deciding what has been imagined and what has been real.

After the Circus disappears and the pale hydra is there. What else is left? Is Core in a clearing area fighting a pale hydra? Does he see anything else besides the pale hydra, his party members, and the cart between two boulders?

You see the spectral audience in the seats and the spectral performers tethered to the wheel of death. I’ll need a perception check to find more.

You can edit your post, I’ll allow the rage, you may use your reroll to switch the disadvantage to advantage. Otherwise the first roll (7) stands.

I can try the sleep spell, but it already failed once. Probly best to just hope I do a good amount of damage.
Mar 18, 2023 5:30 am
I’d double check your sleep spell Vice, it has to exceed the hydra’s hit points to knock it out. It’s good for low level minions, not so hot against boss types
Mar 18, 2023 12:20 pm
Sleep is against current hp, correct? Making a good way to pause when the boss is hurt or just capture it.

OOC:
Do y'all not know how crits work? 🤣🤣
.
kind of 🤷
Nictorah says:
Reminder of house rule for crits] Critical Hits
You max your normal damage dice you would roll regularly and add your damage modifier (usually Str or Dex). Then roll all of the extra dice you would get on the critical hit and add it all together. This makes the critical hit more dramatic instead of rolling ones and twos on your dice doing less damage than a normal hit. (This is not for GM run NPCs)
So if I have this right (since we tend to roll the Atk and Dam die before seeing the result) if the attack roll is a crit, we just add the max of the damage die to the result?
Mar 18, 2023 9:04 pm
That is correct. I’ve been doing it, but you can simply create a die roll with 1dX+max and the same for any bonus damage die rolls
Mar 18, 2023 10:22 pm
Anyone know any 1d100 or 1d20 damage spells? 😈 😊 😈

I have no experience at all. The fact it is functional and in an area where scavengers frequency and it had been left alone is already a big red flag to me. Plus I am sure there were conflicts with them during the war and rumors world have spread about something that eye catching

I am up for either that or Malbor explains his entire plan and the DM does the results in one post instead of piecemeal back and forth while we wait.

There is a table so it is viable to go get a bigger piece, I think?

You have a point but getting up there when we are not prepared could have other complications.
The wagon already draws attention to us. Earic has been searching the area for a while. I do not see how going back to town for a night will make us all that much more noticeable. If we get all the supplies through Earic's patron/employer it shouldn't cause too much or a ruckas, hopefully

I am new to God setting so am not sure about this
Gzmix as a Cyre refuge wolf like to see his fellow refugees have opportunities for a better life. How do Prince Oargev and Lady Rayna d’Cannith fit into this?
Apr 8, 2023 6:42 am
It would be common knowledge that Prince Oargev is the last surviving monarch of Cyre. He was given the Brelish Camp as a place for Cyran refugees to gather and settle. The town is young but thriving thanks to the dragon marked houses’ help in building it. Oargev is a new leader with the best interests of Cyrans at heart.

It’s also common knowledge who the leaders of house Cannith are and you would know Lady Rayna is not one of them. You can roll me a history check if you would like to try to remember more. I will say with advantage from reading the journal as she was also Cyran.

I am up for options 1 (escort) or 2(revisit the wreckage), preferring 2.
If 2 we need a way to get up there safely. @Nictorah would climbing kits and a good rope work with the levitation?

I see no reason to get into a new task, option 3, when we already have something worth digging into.
Apr 10, 2023 1:29 pm
Agreed on 1 or 2 being the choice...

2 is fine. The main reason I'm leaning towards 1 is it honestly fits my character plans very well. That said, this is a group story, so I'm fine with following the majority.
Apr 10, 2023 1:41 pm
As a compromise could we do 1 then rush back to 2 before they take control?
Apr 10, 2023 2:08 pm
Works for me, but as a player I'd want the rest of the group to weigh in too.
Apr 10, 2023 2:32 pm

I'm down for whatever the group decides. but would prefer to let others deal with the ship. "It's not the fall, it's the sudden stop"
Apr 10, 2023 3:35 pm
I was suggesting doing the escort then heading back afterwards to try and beat the crown minions to the wreckage.
Not sure if it is even possible but if it is then it could be a compromise if there isn't a major consensus.
Putting that side for now we have a split vote option #1=1 vs option #2=1 so we need to hear from the rest of the group

Apr 10, 2023 4:51 pm
I don't think we have time for a mission, and if we are staying we might as well go back to the ship.
I wanted to return to the ship, but now I think we really can't. It sounds to me like we will end up in a bit of trouble if we do.
Also, I guess Earic had already negotiated a finder's fee, which I presume will be ours since we found it.

So in the end, we should probably go back with him and collect the escort and finders fees.
Apr 10, 2023 5:33 pm
That makes sense. Sigh. Switch me to escort then
Apr 10, 2023 6:30 pm
Vice - Escort
37 - Escort
Malbor - Escort
Kleber - Undecided
Gzizmix - Escort
Core - Escort

Here’s what I’ve got in terms of votes. I’ll assume Kleber gets on board with the rest, but doesn’t mean your characters have to like it. :)

You may hit the provisioner if there’s any supplies you’d like. Just tell me what you’re looking for.

Apr 26, 2023 12:06 am
A skill challenge is a set of skill checks to get through a situation. It’s actually a mechanic from fourth edition, but I really like them.

The goal is getting out of town and escaping the archer. Basically a chase scene. Failing means he catches up to you and the inevitable consequences.

You decide which of your skills you would like to use and how you use them to help with the escape. Telling me how you use the check in the story. The DC is 12, a 12 or higher, you succeed on the check. When the team has five successes, you escape. If you get three failures first, you fail the skill check and don’t.

I use initiative to decide the order.

Does that make sense Genecortess?

Lol, He has Vice with him and the tavern is near the inn.

I'm talking about Malbor getting picked off.

Core sent him to find Gzizmix... who went with Earic. And no one in our party at the tavern knows where Earic lives. With a risk of assassins, just asking where to find Earic isn't safe.

Core wants Malbor dead. 🤣🤣

So, I am new to the whole Eberron setting and don't know if there's any homebrew lore in play so excuse me if this question sounds dumb.

Isn't the ability to create dragon marked warforged a huge thing? Like, cause open conflict between houses big?
Last edited May 8, 2023 10:25 am
May 8, 2023 1:04 pm
I’ve tried to stay away from homebrew as I’m still new to gm-ing and I could easily break something. I believe you’re talking aberrant dragon marks. They’re definitely hated by the houses, but they sometimes happens when bloodlines from different houses have children. For example, mark of storm mixed with mark of shadow could potentially cause an aberrant mark. These marks are not recognized, the abilities are mixed. Houses fought to keep the marks "pure". There are Romeo and Juliet type stories where this happened.

Forcing a mark is only rumour and speculation and would only be from the darkest of magic. Depending on the views of the kingdom, using a warforged would either be unacceptable tantamount to putting a dragon mark on another race outside of what’s acceptable to the houses. Or for those that believe the warforged should not have been granted freedom, they could see it as the next "upgrade" that gives them an edge in future war.

As for warforged still being produced, the laws officially say that production of all warforged must have been stopped, all creation forges must have been destroyed and all previously created warforged have been granted freedom. There are rumours that creation forges may still exist, but it’s unproven as yet.

I am fine with the backstory stuff. I will admit to being a bit lost at times but catch up as things move along. I take is as Gzizmix being more devout and scholarly than political and worldly is quietly taking it in but keeping an ear out as he is concerned with his fellow countrymen. Though the land is lost the nation lives on.

If I have questions about what is going on would you rather Gzizmix ask in character or I just ask OOC here?

I hear that. Life is more important than a game. It’s supposed to be fun, not stressful. If this pace is working, I’m here for it.

Story wise, despite his mark of Storm, Earic is more freelance than House Lyrandar. He’s a Cyran loyalist, explaining why he has connections in New Cyre, but only Bela in Salvation and why everywhere else, he depends on your group. Lady d’Cannith is Earic’s patron, this current meeting was introduce her and her storyline. The recovery of the airship is still in the realm of treasure hunting in Salvation, but within the larger scope of the political world of Khorvaire.

If you wa t a little peek behind the curtain, taking the money and running is an easy option that doesn’t close any doors. Your group sort of fell into the Lady’s lap. There’s still lots of adventure in Salvation where you build your story, rather than joining an NPC’s story.

Hope this helps.

Btw, here’s a map to give you an idea of where you are:

I wanted to touch base to see how you guys are doing. I feel like you’re not digging the lore intense stuff. Would you rather I just cut to the chase and get to the action?

This is your story as well, I’m open to feedback. I been trying to avoid railroading you, but if that’s taking away from what you’d prefer, please let me know.
I am fine with the backstory stuff. I will admit to being a bit lost at times but catch up as things move along. I take is as Gzizmix being more devout and scholarly than political and worldly is quietly taking it in but keeping an ear out as he is concerned with his fellow countrymen. Though the land is lost the nation lives on.

If I have questions about what is going on would you rather Gzizmix ask in character or I just ask OOC here?
Earic is much like many of you, displaced from Cyre. If you have questions, I’ll answer here, or in character. I enjoy the RP banter, but I’m good with both.

May 25, 2023 6:19 pm
That seems about it. Protect the innocent(?) And drive back the evil(?)
May 25, 2023 6:32 pm
At this point, protecting Earic seems to be the goal.

LoL just had a great idea. Kill Eari. Cast Gentle Repose on him. Stuff him in a bag of holding. Revive him when we teach the target

In the words of the GM himself, we can always quit the job. But I personally want to see the airship in action, maybe ever fire the main cannon on some hill, a (half) orc can dream of Dakka.
By the way do we still have that magic item that helps control ships elementals?
Jul 2, 2023 11:57 pm
I don't thing I can get topside fast enough to cast feather fall. Any other ideas to catch the person that's gone overboard?

> 37 is less fortunate. The downward pitch sends the warforged into the air, to be saved by his bindings. [...] Dangling from the rail, but held securely by his rope.

>Above, 37 flops helplessly along the outside edge of the airship.

As long the ropes holds we can just pull it and 37 back.
Jul 3, 2023 12:37 am
Unless it’s under pressure, I assume mundane tasks like tying a proper knot can be completed properly. A bad die roll on an ability check and 37 would have had something like 200d6 bludgeoning from the fall… I’m not that mean. There’s plenty of other danger out there.
Jul 3, 2023 1:38 am
Wait... is it magical bludgeoning damage? It might be important. 🤣
Jul 3, 2023 2:06 am
Nope, just good, old-fashioned, hard stuff meets body parts bludgeoning.
Jul 3, 2023 3:04 am
...alright, so if I level up to 4 while I'm falling I can take the Heavy Armor Master feat... that'll let me take -3 to all non-magical slashing, piercing, or bludgeoning damage. 200d6 -3... it'll be close. 🤔

Uncommon is fair. Here’s a site that has a basic list.

I kinda have the same problem with my char, but although it's not on your list, it is an Uncommon item: "Skyblinder Staff".
Otherwise, perhaps the most useful thing to me would be a Wand of Magic Missiles since I don't really have that much direct damage.

BTW, are we going to level?

Yeah, I need... none of that, really. I need better armor more than magic armor. I have a spell focus (my armor), and my lightning launcher works fine for combat.

I'm also trying to not load up on things that need attunement.
Jul 13, 2023 11:41 pm
You could get an all purpose tool, just for that Artificer feel
Jul 14, 2023 1:59 am
I guess an All Purpose Tool would be ok, if nothing else is really viable.

There's just not much in the way of equipment I need/want (by design).

MaJunior, I was going through your character sheet and I couldn’t find your Artificer Specialist details or your "Right Tool for the Job" feature. Based on Magic Missile, Thunderwave and the tanky build, I assume armourer. However, I don’t see Arcane Armour or Armour Model, which would have been added at 3rd level as an armourer specialist. If that’s the case, you may add those. If you’re unsure, let me know if I can help.

If I’m correct, I’d recommend a plate armour and a good melee weapon as tanks are usually at the front taking hits. I won’t tell you how you play your character though.

I was planning to get Crossbow Expert on the next level up. So I can ignore the Loading property of crossbow when using the Haste Pocketwatch.

How would that interact with the Reloading mechanic?

Come up with a flavour. If you’re single wielding, it would just be a rapid reload as a free action. If you’re dual wielding, Sloane and 37 are artificers. They could cook up a Lara Croft style reloading system. Or you could use your experience with the watch of surge to slow time just enough to reload as a free action without using its daily feature fully. It would look like a Matrix reload to everyone else. Or I could rewrap them as elemental and a tiny bound elemental does the reload for you. Just some ideas, flavour it how you want.
Jul 14, 2023 4:16 pm
Oh, it's a pair of crossbows? Nice. Don't think I will reflavor the weapons itself, repeating mechanism sounds more interessing than just magic.
I will probably go with the Matrix idea.

I have a weird question, and I don't know that we ever touched on it so forgive me if it's been answered already, but...

Do firearms exist in your setting?

That's always been something of a matter of GM fiat, but I figured I'd clarify. For the record, I don't want to use guns. It's... stupid. Lol Ok. Firearms are always classified as martial weapons. Artificers are only proficient in simple weapons -- and firearms, IF they're part of the setting. The feat I'm debating has a prerequisit of being proficient with a martial weapon.

If guns exist, I can potentially just take the feat. If they don't, it isn't even an option.

I could take a 1 level dip in another class... or I could keep my class progression and take the feat (assuming it's even an option). I'm trying to figure out my options before I decide on a path.

I will say, there are elemental guns, which in effect are firearms. They would definitely have similar properties. I think it’s a free optional feature anyway.

Would my character know what makes the ship go faster? More wind, goading the elemental?
Aug 19, 2023 7:46 pm
He would know a few things. Weight is always a factor, lightening the ships somehow (there is a massive hole in Cyre’s cargo hold). Sloane has lots of gizmos for the elemental on the Zarantyr. Wind doesn’t drive the ship, but a tailwind always helps.

I would have to say that would be a sort of decapitation. She is integrated throughout the ship.
Aug 30, 2023 1:25 am
In Gzizmix's exporatin/experimentation did he find any part of the ship that Cyre was able to move/control? Can she feel the entirety of the ship? Can she pilot the elemental? The child had a sorm mark so I assume she may learn to direct the elemental. As a warforged ship I would assume she was built for a purpose. The only advantage of making the ship a warforgs would be to make it self repair (does not seem to be the case), self motivated, or what?

Probably work about as well as sawing off your face face. 🤣
Aug 30, 2023 2:14 am
Your exploration would have found that Cyre does indeed heal herself, but the damage was too severe. The damage caused by the explosion and ensuing fire was similar to a person losing an arm. In this case, her elemental spires.

It’s important to note, the second ring was added as a method of control. Like a leash, preventing her total freedom. Gzizmix and Sloane would have noticed the remaining two warforged spires are fully restored, while the elf controlled spires are still damaged. Sloane severed the connection of the spires to Cyre, because she is an airship artificer, not a Warforged maker. She knew how to connect them to the helm, not the other way around.

It’s difference between a car mechanic and a doctor. Or in this case, artificer vs. wizard.

Hi guys. Sorry I haven't been posting lately, work is insane, and some personal matters to attend to.
I have been keeping up, but haven't decided exactly what my character wants to do..
I kinda think the most "in-character" thing for him would be to advocate to become the helmsman of the Cyre, but I'm not sure how that would fit into our future plans. Is this something I could try to do?

If I would separate from the group, I'm more than willing to make another character to continue on.. gives me the chance to try some other builds I've been thinking about.

Quick question.
Nictorah says:
Kleber notes there’s only one way out of the tower and can see that exit in front of him.
Does this mean Rune entered a tower with only one entrance/exit that Kleber sees from a distance, or does it mean that he went inside a tower on a high floor and that Kleber stands at the exit at the base?
Last edited September 13, 2023 11:49 pm

Rune entered the tower from above. You see the exit. As a group, you would know that there is only one exit from when you left the tower to go to Lady d’Cannith’s house.

Situationally, you would know that Rune is on his way downstairs, currently, but has not left the tower.
Sep 18, 2023 9:47 am
Do you guys think we should check on Rune weird behaviour or ignore it and hope it doesn't blow up on us again?
Sep 18, 2023 12:59 pm
It's worth looking into, IMO.
Sep 18, 2023 1:00 pm
I was hoing you would catch him. He knows enough and is obviously scared out of his mind to the point he will do anything, no mater how stupid, to destroy cyre. I assume he will if set free head to the closest BBEG to explain his vision and seek help only to be used and betrayed, yata, yata...

Kleber's currently more worried about the demon who helped him back on the mist dream, will try a light exorcism just in case.

We should try to watch the interrogation. Maybe even convince Lady Canith the mad rambles aren't that mad and she should definitly finance a team to further explorer the Mournlands and deal with the other Canith fellow that Rune was dreaming about.

Can Gzizmix pick up Navigating tools and begin learning their use? Since we have a pilot I figure this might be useful addition. He wil also look for orb of time, orb or direction, and scribes quill common magic items
Sep 24, 2023 7:43 pm
I suppose Vice will learn some sea shanties to prepare for life on the ship. Or Sky shanties i guess?
Sep 25, 2023 5:33 am
The PHB says it takes 10 weeks minus your intelligence modifier to become proficient in a new tool, plus 25 gold per week (which I think is balls…).

8 weeks makes sense with Gzizmix’s modifier. Let’s do 15 gold per week in materials, books to study, etc and call it 120 gp and you weave the studying annd practice into your story.

After that, you can add proficiency in Navigation Tools to your character sheet.

His avatar has the "Zzz", so I guess he took a break from the foruns.

Correct, a black or brown would be less conspicuous.
It's a Warhammer 40k joke. The orks on that universe believe painting their ramshackled cars make them go faster, and thanks to the power of quadrillion of orks thinking that way, it's somewhat true.

Hi guys.. I'm here. I've had a tough few weeks..
Don't want to get into details but had to fly out of town to look in on my mother who is quite old and suffering from dementia.
I just haven't had the mental capacity to deal with posting.. but I'm still checking in and don't want to hold up the game.

I'll be posting more in the future for sure. I spoke with Nic and it makes sense for my char to go off and practice sailing but still want to rejoin the main group if it makes sense.
Oct 19, 2023 6:51 pm
Understandble Ganesh.
I've also passed through some personal issues these last 10 days, and posting was the last thing on my mind. They have been resolved for now, and I would like to apologize for just ghosting during that time.

I guess that leaves Kleber and Vice in Vathirond. Malbor is t far behind.

My question is: Do you want to continue with the three, or should I open up the game to more players?

I’m fine with either.

oh wow, a summary? We were hired by Earic to try and find a skyship lost in The Mournland. Found it, and it was damaged, and sentient. That's the very short version. Now we are trying to get enough soarwood to fix the ship, then we can work on getting the ship her freedom, and also stopping some spies.

Oct 27, 2023 12:53 am
Welcome everyone!

When you’re ready to build your character, please use the Character Creation chat. Makes it easier to track.

MaJunior is awol atm. I’m not sure if he’ll return.

Crazybird summed it up pretty well. Malbor is taking an off-camera side quest with an airship crew. He’ll rejoin when he can. Vice and Kleber are approaching a town called Vathirond to meet with a broker regarding a map. Ironically, they’re set to meet in a tavern. When you’re ready, I think that’s where you can introduce your characters and then we continue. Sometimes, the tropes just work…

Sound like a plan?
Oct 27, 2023 12:56 pm
working on a halfing (Mark of Hospitality) warlock character...he will have healing (access/eventual access to: cure wounds, lesser restoration, revivify, greater restoration - via Celestial otherworldly patron expanded spell list) but won't be the dedicated 'cleric' of the group...I have another game I'm playing in that is a cleric so would like something 'different'. This character will be very utilitarian, will have decent AC and with Eldritch Blast, should be useful in combat.

The character creation instructions posted within this game differ from those posted in the games tavern. My understanding is this is level 4 characters being added to the game.

Will there be any starting wealth for these new characters?
Oct 27, 2023 2:35 pm
Yep, level 4 to start. The game info was from the start of the campaign. I can amend that.

To keep everyone on a level playing field, you may have add 100 platinum and one magical item worth 200 gp or less to your character. Of course, you may be attuned to the item. Whether you spend the platinum before you join the party, is up to you.
Oct 27, 2023 3:53 pm
I don't believe magical items have prices attached to them? Or am I missing a source?

Sorry, my brain was elsewhere this morning… I was using a reference guide I found a while ago to figure out a value of items found in the Mournland.

Let’s go with one uncommon, wondrous item from any official source.
Oct 27, 2023 6:27 pm
And uhhh, 100 platimum? Or 100 gold? :)
Oct 27, 2023 7:19 pm

Something to consider for the future. The currently disguised elemental cart was attuned to by Core, then Gzizmix. Both are no longer with the party.

Oct 27, 2023 7:55 pm
OOO. Magic Disguised Cart. (Don't find those too often.) Winks. I recall. SheK isn't even trained with driving a wagon and is never the smartest person in the room.

SheK went with Gauntlets of Ogre Power to aid her lesser strength. Woot now she can wear better armor and carry stuff. So, she is a whole lot stronger than she looks. She is rather on the lean side. She just says agile.

GM: Anything SheK should know about the House Trarask beside secret missions for her being a spy.

SheK is applied but isn't completed yet. I guess she is around 90% complete. :)

Oh. Yeah. That is SheK with a capital 'K'. Not a typing error. And not that she is very good at writing anyway. Stupid weavy letters.

Oh I'm not sure what I'm making for my character yet! Looks like the party really needs some frontliner to absorb all that healing put up a barrier between the baddies and the squishies. I am juggling some ideas! A Blood of Vol Paladin, a Tairnadal mercenary (Fighter or Barbarian) or a shifter Druid (Moon for the frontline).

All of them need gear and can always use toys. But if I am the sole front-liner investing in some survivability may be prudent.

Oh. SheK can heal (cure wounds spell) but being a ranger, she doesn't have a lot of spell slots. She does however has a nice size of spell selections. She is more up front with her Warhammer but does have a longbow. If that helps you any.

SheK is waiting in the city of Starilaskur for the party to show up.

I've been working on my character...eldritch blast will be his primary attack, so ranged is best...as unfortunately he gains disadvantage if up close.
Oct 31, 2023 6:23 am
I haven’t asked for a wish list recently. I’m thinking of Kleber and Vice, you may have a better idea of what you’d like for your characters.

Everyone, feel free to throw some items in here for me.
Oct 31, 2023 9:33 am
More spellcasters are always appreciated, just make sure you have defensive and control spells, as it appears we're mostly a ranged group. Since I picked up the Crossbow Expert, Kleber can somehow function as a vanguard, not very well mind you, but long enough for everyone to blast whatever is trying to kill the poor ranger.

Also, nice to see you back Gene! We have two Mark of Finding half-orcs now, meaning I need to actually sit down and pass Kleber backgrounds from mine notebook to the site in order different them.

Vice still wants to enchant his weapons, and that takes cash, and that comes from adventuring. So I guess, more adventures!

As a player, I'm having a blast.
Oct 31, 2023 3:30 pm
OH wow. Kleber. Shek would know fast. Her violent purple dragonmark tingles if another marked finder is close. Not that you would see the dragonmark. It a finder dragonmark and it likes people to have to find it. So, it is never in plain sight. It does move around but tends to hibernate on her unseen belly.

SheK background is generally unknown but Kleber might have heard about her. SheK used to do work for the Finder's Guild as well as for House Tharashk. She is a member of the Torrn family.

Shek has warhammer, breast plate, & shield. She tends to be up close and personal. She has 7 temp spells and can cast 8 different ones but with only 3 slots. And SheK is rich as she didn't even spend over half the gold she has. Cure Wounds is among those spells.

I hope someone has a holding device. Would so nice.

Looks like I have a lot to get caught up on!

Edit: As I work on getting caught up on our story, a few questions:

- Was there an in-game reason for 37 going quiet? I don't want to retcon anything... if he was with Cyre or on an errand, I'll roll with it.

- Any character adjustments? Did we expend reaources I should account for?

- Anything truly pertinent for the story? (Were we betrayed, are we hunted, anything like that?)

I’m good with a simple explanation of being busy studying some of the tools, etc.

Once upon a time, you did pick up navigator tools and cartographer tools from the Warforged. You could have spent the six days working on proficiency in one of the tools. Since 37 doesn’t sleep, we can count it as two weeks of study. Based on your inteligence score, you would only have four weeks to go. If that works, let me know which tool you pick.

Make sure to introduce your description / background to the new players.

The only cost would be the gold for the proficiency study, if that’s what you want to do. If so, we’ll say 25 gp.

No betrayal, disguising the cart prevented unwanted attention.
Nov 8, 2023 7:04 am
Sounds good GreyWord. Feel free to use the eavesdrop idea. I left the conversation open to those in earshot on purpose, as Khulod did.

I was only saying that you don’t need to stress about how you introduce him. Do what feels right for the character.

Aren't there 16 of them? Can we handle that many? We can let the people know the plan so the surrounding building cam be protected
Nov 12, 2023 8:37 am
Idea: set up our own base with some mechanical traps and what not. Then go hunt down soldiers one by one until we are forced to retreat to our defense lines

Nevertheless - I am serious about what my PC said about planning. Been at too many tables planning for 30 minutes only to figure out their plans were based on wrong assumptions. And even if assumptions are more or less fine, there will always be at least one out of 5-6 players who either spot and opportunity or realize a major drawback of the plan during it's implementation and will not follow the plan.
And I can't blame the player. Combat encounter is long and it is a boring experience in an RPG game to follow the plan.

And no I am not against plans, I just suggest they are not too detailed. For example
- If one think investing money to purchase a lot of gunpowder or oil to burn my PC will share the expenses.
- Purchasing some Caltrops and maybe hunting traps may also be worth it
- If DM could allow us to bribe/pay train operator to drop us few miles before station - that would be awesome
Nov 12, 2023 12:03 pm

Nov 16, 2023 4:09 pm
You are correct. I’ll remember for next round. Since it’s his only reaction, make sure to let me know who he will deflect for. If you would prefer, I could default to first come, first served. When he’s within range of two or more he could deflect, he deflects the first attack, unless you state otherwise.

Would that work?

Excellent. First come, first served by default would be perfect. And I will make sure to explain my PC is "programming" defender to ignore minions and only deflect big boss, if we have ever have such a fight.

Actually - after seeing how weak those warforged actually are - my PC would prefer going by train just for convenience.

What if it's a crossover titan?
Nov 19, 2023 9:01 pm
That would be a warforged colossus.
Nov 20, 2023 9:19 pm
Now I'm thinking of ways fight a warhammer titan, maybe banishment would throw it back to Warhammer universe?
Are we dealing with enforcement head on? Kleber has Disguise Self, but that would only help myself go unnoticed rather than the entire team.
Nov 20, 2023 11:10 pm
We could spread out. The first person to be noticed can cause a distraction. Then then everyone could gather to attack, or just use the distraction to escape and regroup.
Nov 20, 2023 11:30 pm
Let 37 go first. He's one of the members of the group that's been there from the beginning, and might be recognized.

If they see him it's on. If they miss him, it'll let him double around and pincer the attackers.
Nov 21, 2023 8:54 pm
Do we want to attack the Blades that inspect the train? Or do we want to avoid being seen on the train, and go straight to burning down their base?
Nov 21, 2023 8:59 pm
I'd avoid fighting at the train if we can manage it.
Nov 21, 2023 9:32 pm
Sounds good
Nov 21, 2023 10:52 pm
Just to help organize and keep things moving, we have a few good options to deal with any Blades at the station:

Choose your strategy

Disguise/sneak your way through
Distraction, possibly with 37
Fight any Blades you see
Nov 22, 2023 7:38 am
how about improvize as we see what is going on? Since they sent squad with the train something has changed and we have no idea how will they behave today.

i.e. they must be expecting 5 blades returning. No blades on train could give perfect distraction or could as well make the rest of blades more suspicious

Nictorah says:
Around you, the tavern suddenly goes silent. A group of five warforged soldiers strolls through the door. The lead warforged wastes no time in announcing his presence. His voice is slithery and smug. He begins to pace around the room as he speaks.

"Good evening, travellers. We won’t bother you for long. We’re looking for a band of thieves. Last seen with a changling, driving a black lightning cart. We would handsomely reward anyone that may be willing to, shall we say,", while his metallic face is void of expression, you get a sense of gleeful malice in his eyes, "…point us in the right direction."
Has the party ever knowly walked with a changeling? Was Earic a changeling this whole time?

lol, I leave that up to you. It’s a good thing you have dark vision.

Belaluur was meeting you at Sheriff’s an hour from the train. So far, I have Kleber, Buff, Shek and 37 at Sheriff’s.

Armat is at the Grey Beyond. Peldan I believe is wrapping up at the Salvation Hotel. Vice is contemplating his life choices in a crypt.

lol, so technically successful. Would Vice know enough about the town to know which way sheriff's office was if he was at the church? Just like the general direction? And, sorry I don't remember, but did we learn about any guards outside the church? I know Vice learned about the personal guards inside.
Dec 7, 2023 11:44 pm
Based on the 9 perception earlier, you have no idea which way you’re facing. You would know where sheriff’s is, based on the town map you have. While on the train, you saw the church had at least two guards outside. You’re unsure what’s inside the church.

Dec 13, 2023 9:12 pm
Something I stole that may be relevant if you’re going to split the baddies.

Sound distance
Whispered conversation - 0ft
Normal conversation - 5ft
Machinery - 5ft
Boisterous groups - 50ft
Shouting, combat - 100ft

100 feet is a little less than a town block between avenues. They’re not the most perceptive.
Dec 14, 2023 7:06 am
Does that mean - if we engage in a combat with one patrol and there is no other patrol within 100 feet they will not hear sound of combat or any other sounds like shouting for reinforcement? In that case fighting patrols one by one seams more reasonable.

Dec 14, 2023 5:42 pm
the canon is already on the roof of the sheriffs office, correct? If so, is there a clear line of sight to the church?
Dec 14, 2023 6:59 pm
It is on the roof, but line of sight would only be the bell tower. Mechanically, the church is nearly in full cover. Those in side, even more so. These aren’t mortars, they’re six inch cannonballs. I’m not going to tell you how to play it, but trying hit Titaness in the church from Sheriff’s would be… difficult.
Dec 14, 2023 7:44 pm
huh, so unless someone has the ability to curve a bullet, our plan needs to include moving the canon?
Dec 14, 2023 7:47 pm
Smiles. I recall a movie where the person firing a gun could curve the path of a bullet to let it do as they wanted. In the show, the person actually shot a bullet killing several people in its path and circled back to kill the shooter. I guess we can't do that with the canon.
Dec 14, 2023 9:29 pm
I remember that one! Wanted, from 2008 I think
Dec 14, 2023 10:34 pm
crazybirdman says:

Or your plan of luring the target into the line of fire. The Cannon’s current position looks down Main Street, but could be turned to look either direction down First Avenue.
Dec 14, 2023 11:13 pm
I'll let team canon decide if they want to move it or not. Then team Bait can act accordingly
Dec 14, 2023 11:21 pm
37 will bait wherever needed. I don't think moving the cannon is a good idea. Between how difficult it would be and the attention moving it would draw.
Dec 15, 2023 12:47 am
M'kay. But don't complain if the target doesn't fall for the bait and doesn't step in the firing line
Dec 15, 2023 1:28 am
Oh, you mean we can fight it the way I'd prefer?

Why would I complain?
Dec 15, 2023 2:59 am
But if there's not a goblin and a dwarf pushing a canon down the street, no one will be able to see "There's something you don't see every day"

Oh well. So will we be split into two are the teams? Are we letting 37 approach the church alone, then ambush whoever comes out to fight?
Dec 15, 2023 3:08 am
I think the plan is this:

There are two groups - One to stay with, protect, and man the cannon. The other will work to ambush patrols and thin down the number of Warforged enemies in town.

37 will be on the ambush team. We're going to pick a spot along a patrol route and set up an ambush. After that fight, we move closer towards the church and do it again. Then, again. By the time we near the church -- assuming all hell hasn't broken loose already -- the party will hang back (hide?) and 37 will act as bait.

We try for the cannon shot against the Titan, and then hit or miss we go all in.

***** ***** *****

We don't have to use that plan. I'm certainly open to suggestions, and would be quick to back something better.

That said... as a player, I'm ready to get things moving.

But the floor is certainly open for anyone to discuss strategy.
Dec 15, 2023 3:56 am
I like that plan, I have no notes, we can adjust along the way, in or out of character.
Dec 15, 2023 5:01 am
sligh update to plan will not take me out of story for a month or so

1. everyone ambush 3 pairs of blade patrols

2. move cannon and set it up in best possible position

3. 37 act


Update: just realized I'm only who want to move cannon. Please disregard that idea

Worth pointing out that the entire party could do the ambush part of the plan, and then when...

1) We get near the church and 37 goes to bait out the Titan, OR
2) The fight goes from an abush to a fullscale fight against all the remaining Warforged

...the team for the cannon can break off and rush back to man/protect the cannon, and we proceed normally.

That way no one is left on a rooftop with nothing to do.

Close.

There's a group with the cannon. The question is if they're staying with the cannon while the rest of us ambush patrols OR if they're coming with us to ambush patrols and then returning to the cannon.

(The OOC question is how involved the players with the cannon want to be.)

Dec 18, 2023 1:26 am
Why would we move the cannon though?

It's on a rooftop. Elevation protects the people firing it at least somewhat. If we move it out into the street, it's completely unprotected blatantly obvious. The people manning it would be the primary targets.
Dec 18, 2023 2:50 am
I’m not going to stop you, but you will need to be able to move the 250 lbs down the stairs and around town, without getting noticed.

Which is why 37 was going to act as bait to draw the warforged out. If we put it in the street, we're making more targets.

Still here. Vice will follow 37, literally and figuratively, since this plan was their idea.
Jan 2, 2024 8:07 pm
Thinking...

If the patrollers are anywhere around H, I, or J and between 14 and 20, some of us can hide at M/N 7 and the others at L/M/N 24.

Pin them between alleyways, so they can't escape? We can pull the bodies easily too, if we take them down before the next patrol arrives.

Attacking a prone target when within 5' gains advantage

Feb 14, 2024 6:46 pm
sorry, posting now
Feb 14, 2024 9:24 pm
Since Garundah is higher on the Initiative order (she has 15 while Kleber has 9 and Buff 4) it's better for her to aim the cannon, no?
Feb 15, 2024 10:07 pm
Totally your call
Feb 15, 2024 10:09 pm
And definitely skipped Peldan. You’re up Sardis
Feb 19, 2024 4:50 pm
Is Peldan within moving distance to get to a spot where he has LoS to patrolled 5, where he can eldritch blast him?
Feb 20, 2024 6:48 am
Gnomes little legs slow them down some. However, (without telling you how to play your turn ;) ), you could Misty Step down, move and then, since it’s a cantrip, cast Eldritch Blast
Feb 21, 2024 2:54 pm
so what's our plan? wait for the patrollers? rush the titan? training montage?
Feb 21, 2024 4:54 pm
As far as I know, some of us are engaging the patrollers as we're able, those on the cannon are focused on the Titan, and we're past the point of having a training montage since we're mid-fight... unless the GM agrees to a flashback training montage!!

It's a little unconventional, but it's the perfect set-up to have everyone level up mid-fight! We were just holding back in the first half!
Feb 21, 2024 8:27 pm
I dunnow, Armat expended 0 resources so far on this fight. It doesn't need to get any easier..
Feb 21, 2024 8:39 pm
Kleber still has 2x level one spells slots and the "Two action per turn" watch

so . . rush the Titan then?
Feb 22, 2024 11:41 pm
A couple options if you wish:

1. We stay in the current initiative order and allow you to make a couple dash actions and ready up.

2. We stay initiative and you roll me a group stealth check (DC 13) to see if you can gain a surprise round and ambush the next ones that show up. You would need to stay within 60 of you present location.

3. We reroll initiative to shake things up and I’ll allow you to reposition anywhere on your side of the map.

4. You try to hide and escape the battle with a group stealth/deception check (DC’s much higher in this one since two of you have been spotted. 16 seems fair)
Feb 23, 2024 5:31 pm
I still like the plan of trying to draw the titan into the canons line of fire. I think that's number 1
Feb 23, 2024 5:37 pm
I also like the current strategy of picking off as many of the warforged before facing the titaness. If she is going to hide out on the other side of town, we shouldn't turn down that gift of time to reduce the number of adversaries for when combat with her commences.

The threat of the cannon may actually hold her off for a bit.

Did sherif ever indicate just how many opposing warforged were in town...to give us an idea of how many may be left?
Feb 23, 2024 6:56 pm
I agree with Sardis... if they're going to treat this like a 1970s martial arts flick, we should take full advantage of it.

I know an NPC mentioned a total a while ago, but i don't remember what it was, or if that included the bladez in the bar, or the Titan's personal guard
Feb 24, 2024 2:49 am
I'm fine with whatever decision the group makes
Feb 24, 2024 4:06 am
SkeK just waits in the fog of battle for her next target.

Armat is happy to keep hurling challenges to the titan. ^^
Feb 25, 2024 12:22 am
So we are waiting for the next patrol then?
Feb 25, 2024 6:06 am
Alright, here’s the situation at turn 3 with one movement from the patrol. They still have an action. Titaness is still at the end of the street under cover.

Let me know where you’ve set up or anything you wish to do in your two turns and we’ll continue. 37 is still at the top of initiative.
Feb 25, 2024 4:14 pm
cannon is already loaded, so Kleber will take a turn aiming it, the second turn will be swaping his handcrossbow for his longbow and preparing an attack, third will be maintaining that prepared attack

HAHAHA we hit her! I'm slighty worried that the warforged survived a cannon ball to the chest, but we hit her!
Mar 12, 2024 9:40 pm
I was worried she would catch it.
Mar 12, 2024 10:07 pm
I seriously doubt one shot will take her down.
Mar 12, 2024 10:10 pm
That was a terrible damage roll. Less than 30%…
Mar 13, 2024 11:56 pm
That's OK. Leaves more for Armat to kill.

I guess SheK didn't get any hiding advantage as Protrolman 10 came up on her backside and slashed her.

Still half cover from Titaness and the archers

Concentration Check... DC(3) CON SheK took 7 damage. That is half and round down. SheK easily holds on to her Fairie Fire she is concentrating on.

Technically, it's a DC of 10 or half of the damage taken, whichever is higher.

Ops. Well that means that SheK just lost concentration on the Fairie Fire. Bummers. Good catch. Vice's attack may not have been at advantage.

SheK now double hates Patrolman 10. It really needs to die.

SheK watches her pray. Patrolman 10 moves. Is it death from above. LOL. Not likely.

It’s only 2d6 bludgeoning from that height :)
The bakery is lower.
On your turn, give me an athletics check to jump to the next roof and save yourself a d6
Apr 17, 2024 10:25 pm
It is a tempting offer. What would be the DC on such a jump to the bakery if SheK backup and got a good run for it. That is to get a touch closer to the target. She isn't terribly skilled at such and just uses brute force for this (+4 strength). She like to get closer to him to Poison Spray him (10' range).
Last edited April 17, 2024 10:35 pm
Apr 18, 2024 3:00 am
The bakery is only 5 feet away and ten feet down. Let’s combine the athletics check for the jump and to avoid falling prone after the second jump to attack. Athletics allows you strength modifier obviously. If you’re good with that, the DC will be 14.

If you’re only looking to jump to the next roof and acid shower him, the DC is 12.
Apr 18, 2024 4:22 am
Cool. SheK time is coming soon enough. DC 12 is just fine. She just wishes him some pain.

Nah, it's okay. Combat is nearly done anyway.
By the way, how tall is the building I am standing on? Would I take fall dmg if I jump off?
Apr 19, 2024 12:57 pm
You’re around 10 feet up. I’ll make the same deal for you as SheK, DC 12 athletes to avoid the fall damage (1d6)
Apr 19, 2024 1:49 pm
GM do I take 1d6 and continue my turn or does that end my turn? SheK failed the jump.
Apr 19, 2024 2:52 pm
The fail was just for damage. You may still take your move.
Apr 19, 2024 5:59 pm
SheK paid dearly for doing maybe 1 point of damage.
Apr 19, 2024 6:45 pm
Good news is, neither have their ranged weapons.
Apr 27, 2024 3:08 am
I'm not that good at figuring out distances on grid maps. Peldan will have seen allies moving northeastern (by the map), from the street to the northwest.

He will use his move action, a dash action, and a misty step as his bonus action, moving down the alley covered by the numbers 21-28 on the map.

My guess is alongside or fairly close to where the sheriff is showing on the most recent map. Is that correct?
Apr 27, 2024 3:23 am
Yep. That would put you on the number 20. Popping out between Kleber and Sheriff.

Edit: On the number 22. I forgot halflings have 25 movement. You get to shock Kleber by proofing out in his face.
Apr 27, 2024 5:39 am
Oh, could Voce have moved, use his action to Dash, and then use his Cunning action to dash again?
Apr 27, 2024 12:42 pm
Absolutely!
Apr 27, 2024 5:18 pm
Good to know, thanks. I may learn this game yet!
Apr 28, 2024 12:22 am
Drats 10 is 40' away. 5e doesn't have like charge or something like that. Shek moves only 30'. Makes 10 out of combat reach and best she can do is close if I'm correct.
Apr 28, 2024 4:34 am
Still have your longbow or your dagger you could throw.

Or, we try this. Try to jump and tackle him as your action. Contested strength check. On a fail, you’re prone, on a success, he’s grappled.
Apr 28, 2024 4:41 am
Here’s the DC.

Warforged STR check - (1d20+5)

Omg! Lol!

Edit: and I goofed too. He’s only a +4
Apr 28, 2024 7:41 am
Well SheK time is soon. Running tackle is nice plan. SheK like 10 has a +4 as she has a STR of 19. I will just advance toss a dice :)... Well an 18 when her time comes.

Nice greenish blur as she runs and does a flying tackle. Like the picture she does have light green skin. Her shadow can laugh at 10. Opsie. It down on top of 10 now. Pesky shadow.

What is just to the southeast of Shek and 10? Is it an obstruction to line of sight to them as Peldan comes out of the alleyway?
May 1, 2024 12:05 am
Yes, it’s an outhouse. You likely would hear them, but haven’t seen them yet. You did see Sheriff run up to block. He would be looking in SheK’s direction.

No worries Kleber. Life gets busy. It’s supposed to be fun, not stressful. Take your turn now if you’d like.

I recently had to change my email with Gamesplane to my Gmail because my Hotmail wasn’t letting them through anymore.

Peldan, if you’re worried about RP’ing it fairly, you can shift over and move up to A16 to get a view of the fight without using your action or bonus action.
May 1, 2024 5:46 pm
Sadly, with 25' of movement A17 is as close as I can get with just a move action.
May 1, 2024 6:47 pm
Yell at Sheriff to point them out? Speaking is a free action.

Would Peldan not hear a commotion from around the corner of the outhouse? Can't imagine it blocks a whole lot of sound?

Also, from A17, wouldn't he be able to see Vice?

It was fun, sorry for making it longer than what was necessary.

The new HP we get from leveling up isn't restored until we rest right?
May 4, 2024 11:14 pm
HueHueBr. That was my understanding, SheK has 9 HP and no slots available. She so much needs a long rest. She did put out three faerie fires.

Most all her other spell casting is very much wasted too. She has cantrips, locate object, and speak with animals left only. But she does hit twice a round now. :) and still has her Dreadful Strikes (1d4 psychic damage).

Even her poor shadow feels depleted. Probably needs to brush out that very long (halfway down her back) black straight hair with green and red highlights that she left samples on patroller 10.

Edit: I just now realized that SheK's HP was set at level 3 for CON bonus and not level 4 for some odd reason. It will be level 5 range after a long rest. :) That mistake just shorted her 2 HP during that battle. Not a big deal.

May 4, 2024 11:59 pm
A few more HP would certainty help SheK. At 9 HP, it doesn't take much to drop her. She is only AC 15. People wonder why she can put on weight. Eating goodberry will do that to you. Her shadow wants her to put on weight so it can be bigger. SheK is rather fey.

Wonder if it would be better to change out her Guidance or Poison Spay with a new Druidic Cantrip? Any thoughts on that? With a new level that is an option for SheK. That and changing one of her ranger spells but she is good with her selection.
May 5, 2024 9:28 am
Guidance is great if you remember to use it. Poison spray I am less enthusiastic about. it requires you to be so close to begin with you might as well take a melee option, like Primal Savagery. If you want ranged, Frostbite is decent in that it adds some utility, while Create Bonfire can create some area denial (but it takes concentration). If you don't need an attack at all, mold earth can shape the battlefield to your advantage, by making cover on the fly for example.

100% Guidance. Poison Spray has 10ft range to force a Con save. Con is a bad save to target, and at 10ft it's better to just use the Warhammer attack twice

I don’t mind at all, I enjoy RP more than combat. I might recommend using this forum to organize ideas and the loot though.

Here’s what I’ve gathered so far:
Ring of Fire Elemental Command
Cloak of Protection - Armat / 37
Boots of Elvenkind
Dark Shard Amulet - Peldan?
Deck of Tarroka cards
Mournland Map and Titaness’ tomes
Boots of Misty Step - SheK?

Vice, while it would be fun to see you run around nearly silent and practically invisible, you can’t have double advantage… you could trade the cloak for the boots, but they do different things.
May 9, 2024 9:43 pm
I'll stick with the cloak. I guess we can sell the rest of the stuff? I'm assuming no one is going to use the titans weapon or shield. Is 37 keeping the rest of the stuff the titan had on her?
May 9, 2024 9:44 pm
No, the rest of it is there for the party. Coin we'll split evenly.

Ring of Fire Elemental Command

Ring, Legendary (requires attunement)

This ring is linked to the fire elemental plane. While wearing this ring, you have advantage on attack rolls against Fire Elementals, and they have disadvantage on attack rolls against you.

The Ring has 5 charges. It regains 1d4+1 expended charges daily at dawn. Spells cast from the ring have a save DC of 17.

You can expend 2 of the ring’s charges to cast dominate monster on a fire elemental. In addition, you have resistance to fire damage and have advantage on checks to control vehicles powered by fire elementals. You can also speak and understand Ignan.

If you help slay a Fire Elemental while attuned to the Ring, you gain access to the following additional properties:
- You are immune to fire Damage.
- You can cast the following spells from the Ring, expending the necessary number of charges: Burning Hands (1 charge), fireball (2 charges), and Wall of Fire (3 charges).

Then I will take the boots, thank you very much.
Anyone knows how to use the tarots?
May 10, 2024 2:40 pm
Roll me a history check
May 10, 2024 2:49 pm
history check to see if Peldan knows anything about the tarot cards

Rolls

History check - (1d20+4)

(13) + 4 = 17

May 10, 2024 9:03 pm
Are we considering using this building? We already have a quest to do, and there's undead in the basement.

Peldan would know that the cards are used by nomads called the Vistani. They’re usually found in the Talenta Plains, but exist throughout Khorvaire. They are used for divination.
May 12, 2024 3:08 am
Ring of Fire Elemental Command - Armat
Cloak of Protection - 37
Boots of Elvenkind - Kleber
Dark Shard Amulet - Peldan
Deck of Tarroka cards
Mournland Map and Titaness’ tomes - Peldan?
Boots of Misty Step - SheK

Going once…

Going twice…
May 12, 2024 3:12 am
If no one else wants the cards, Peldan will pocket those as well, given he knows something about them.
May 14, 2024 9:19 pm
Bad news group.
Mine mother quit her awful job, meaning I cannot just apply to college interships hoping to get one, now I must find a real employment while going through college. Meaning mine already lacking post rate will tank to like once a week during good times. So, yeah. I'm unfortunately leaving the game.
Thanks for having me until now, it was one the best PbP games I ever had.

Feel free to take Kleber's savings and magic item, and either kill him with a falling rock or just memory hole the half-orc with another false hydra
[ +- ] Kleber magic items
May 14, 2024 10:28 pm
Sad to hear Hue. :(

Best of luck to you!
May 14, 2024 10:43 pm
Man, I'm sorry to hear that. I'd say keep your stuff, and find a place in game to pull back... maybe Kleber and Ferul watch over the old church once we handle the undead?

That way, down the road, if and when things change for the better we can bring you back in? Your call, but I'd rather leave that door cracked open, y'know?

Regardless, take care of yourself. All the best!
May 14, 2024 10:43 pm
ah bummer. You sure you don't want Kleber to just hang around in Salvation with Buff?
May 14, 2024 11:04 pm
That sucks Hue. School and work is tough… Best of luck though!

I’ll keep Kleber intact as an NPC. If you find you have time in the future, you’re always welcome back!
May 19, 2024 11:18 pm
so...a family emergency arose this weekend and I didn't get to post like I'd wanted to. I'd read Armat's post about not joining the party and going off to do some investigating. I'd wanted Peldan, who (wanting to become a better adventurer) would have asked Armat if he would allow him to accompany him. Peldan would have offered to interpret any of the elven script using comprehend languages. But it seems I've missed the opportunity, unless there is any way to retcon Peldan's presence during Armat's last several posts?
May 19, 2024 11:21 pm
Perhaps, if too late to retcon, Peldan had followed the man (not feeling important enough for the man to want his aid, but still, he wished to observe). Armat would likely have been aware of his presence but likely, as focused on his task as he was, chose to ignore him?
May 19, 2024 11:41 pm
You can absolutely follow
May 21, 2024 10:14 pm
I can edit my last post if it isnt likely Peldan could deduce from the interaction that something "unseen" was exchanged.
May 21, 2024 10:18 pm
Leave the post. I like that Peldan expresses that he wants to know. He could see something was exchanged. It’s a very real reaction. But, I leave it to Armat to share.
May 21, 2024 10:29 pm
I was trying to request that the apparition touch Peldan and share what was shared with Armat. No worries if the apparition declines or isn't able to.
May 21, 2024 10:36 pm
I wouldn’t stop you from trying to do something to get in there. I can easily retcon it.
May 21, 2024 10:46 pm
Quote:
Armat steeled himself, mentally preparing himself for the specter's touch, then stepped forwards within Vela's reach.
My last post asks Vera to show him what it showed Armat...I guess I assumed it was implied by Peldan, "in the same way you showed Armat", meaning "touch me, so that I might see as well".

Do I need to change the wording to make the intent of his request more clear?

I guess I'm assuming it's close enough to him to reach out and touch him...or should I have him step toward the specter?
May 21, 2024 10:50 pm
I have an idea. Let me take the reigns.
May 21, 2024 11:44 pm
Updated for Peldan.
May 22, 2024 7:22 pm
Ummm, it's a bit odd that Armat continued while Peldan collapsed behind him? That's quite the retcon. I don't know what happened, but perhaps he could collapse as Vera dies?

No worries! This weekend was a bit crazy. My daughter graduated on Friday.

To keep things moving a bit, Peldan, Roll me intelligence check on trying to decipher the notes in the books, etc
Jun 1, 2024 10:05 am
Sigh. Sorry, I missed this. (My intent was to cast comprehend languages on Armat)

Rolls

Intelligence check - (1d20+1)

(17) + 1 = 18

Jun 1, 2024 12:32 pm
Ah, that’s fine. Armat can give the check when he’s ready, unless you cast it on yourself
Jun 1, 2024 12:36 pm
I cast it on my self (given the int check provided), given the prompt given by you on the 29th. I think the 18 is pretty good for a +1 mod :)
Jun 3, 2024 2:23 am
It's my partner's birthday tomorrow as well as her college graduation. Have been busy most of the weekend in preparation for these 2 events. I'll get a post up as soon as possible.
Jun 3, 2024 2:48 am
Happy birthday and congratulations!
Jun 3, 2024 2:54 am
Question for the group. I’ve had someone message asking to join our game. I have now issue, but it’s your party. Do you want to continue with five, or add another?
Jun 3, 2024 2:57 am
I'll vote to add :)
Jun 3, 2024 3:30 am
I thought we were 6? I'd be okay with it, you're the one doing all the heavy lifting though :)
Jun 3, 2024 3:45 am
Whatever you want there boss.
Jun 3, 2024 4:44 am
With Kleber stepping back, we’re at five. Kleber’s always welcome back of course.
Jun 3, 2024 10:28 am
So as not to hold up the game, as I'm going to be quite busy today, if Amat wants to post but is waiting for me, he can just assume Peldan has relayed everything of significant from the GMs post.
Jun 3, 2024 9:42 pm
I feel well enough to resume posting, but my illness isn't going to fade overnight I'm afraid. Since I am being referred to a specialist doctor and there's a waiting list my posting may be spotty for a while.
Jun 4, 2024 5:41 am
Feel better, Khulod!

If there are no objections, then I’ll send an invite to the player tomorrow.

Thanks for having me!

Malak is a Ranger 3/Druid 2 and is a healer/archer

his sheet is almost done... just need gear and to roll hp
Jun 4, 2024 8:25 pm
Welcome aboard! The guys are milling around town. The morning train just arrived and left. It would be a good opportunity to introduce your character.
Jun 5, 2024 10:53 pm
I have zero idea what a Malak is and what a Malak looks like. We probably could use a sub area for descriptions.
Jun 5, 2024 11:00 pm
I believe Malak is the Owlin's name.
Jun 5, 2024 11:09 pm
Name: Malak

Letting the new guy introduce himself and giving him a bit of attention. He chose to go to the Grey Beyond, that’s where Garundah and SheK are at right now.

I haven't posted sinceJune 4th. Just waiting on a response from Armat to Peldan's last post.
Jun 8, 2024 1:21 pm
I guess I didn't realize the goblin wasn't a part of the group... but then again Malak wouldn't know that either and could only assume.

Yep. She’s a local npc

What race is Fauntleroy?
Jun 8, 2024 6:01 pm
He’s an Aarakocra.
Jun 8, 2024 6:05 pm
https://i.imgur.com/7Tc0fj3.pngTraditionally similar to Owlin. Aarakocra are mostly from the mountainous regions. Never really got into Fauntleroy’s backstory. Possibly something for the future ;)

(that’s not him btw)

Can we just name him Birdperson?
Jun 12, 2024 6:06 pm
I leave it to you, but would you like to name your crew? Or would you want more time to establish your crew?

Don't leave it to Vice, he'll just keep suggesting terrible names as soon as he thinks of them.
Jun 16, 2024 4:54 am
I’m ready for the mission whenever you are. I’ll wait for SheK to give the note to Roszana. 37 appears to be busy, he can catch up if you leave without him. I’ll leave it to Armat as to whether he goes or not.
Jun 17, 2024 2:18 am
I'm back! And I am sorry!!

The past two weeks were an absolute cluster... I had double shifts with no cellphone signal, my "other mom" had multiple strokes and hospitalizations, pet euthenasia, almost had to shoot someone at 5am last Sunday, my mom's birthday, and a highschool graduation.

I'm hoping this week goes back to normal. I'm burned out on excitement.

No worries. Glad to have you back. Sorry about the fur baby… mine’s not doing too hot either.

Vice doesn't want any stuff, just coin. So he's eagerly waiting to sell the things the party doesn't want. Including the titans equipment.

Hey all. Sorry for my absence. My sickness has really put me down a notch unfortunately. Next week I am finally seeing the specialist who can hopefully give me an aid that will alleviate most of the symptoms. Please do not hold up anything for me. I hope to be back in action soon after.
Jun 19, 2024 10:20 pm
Aw man, here's hoping you feel better. Thanks for the heads up
Jun 21, 2024 5:29 am
Just checking in. So far, Vice and SheK are ready to go. Peldan and Malak are going with the flow. Kleber is game. Armat is in, but distracted. That leaves 37.

Unless I’m told otherwise, the party leaves the next morning for the warehouse? Are you getting horses? Are you going to retrieve the elemental cart from Vathirond? (I guess only Vice, 37 and Kleber know about that one) Are you going to convince Famul to pull the carts?

Just some ideas for the group.
Jun 21, 2024 6:16 am
37 is waiting for the stone. As of now, someone would need to tell him they're heading out again.
Jun 21, 2024 9:53 pm
Do any of the characters know where 37 is waiting?
Jun 24, 2024 2:13 pm
My son's wedding weekend is over and had me very busy. He is now a hitched man. I'm 3 hours into a 24 hour shift at work. I hope to get a post in later tonight once my client goes to bed.
Jun 26, 2024 11:03 pm
Um...if it's 60 gp fronted by SheK and then SheK seeks reimbursed of 10 gp from each of Peldan, Malak, Vice, 37, Kleber, and Armat...so, SheK gets the fronted 60 gp back with no personal investment.

Did I miss something, or is SheK trying to deceive them? :)
Jun 26, 2024 11:14 pm
lol. I leave that to everyone to sort out :)

10 go for her shadow?
Jun 27, 2024 4:06 am

When in Wildshape: You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
So Malak has 120' Darkvision and a Giant Wolf Spider has 60' Darkvision... I read that as since the form taken has Darkvision he is able to use his own Darkvision of 120'. that sound right?

That would be my understanding.

Unless, as a "sense" there is a difference between DV 60' and DV 120', in which case, you would be limited to the lesser range of the form taken.

Simplistically, there wouldn’t have been a surprise, as they were on high alert from three separate attacks before Malak dropped from the ceiling.

LOL. Keep forgetting that SheK can't have Faerie Fire, Hunter's Mark, Favored Foe, Beast Sense, Guidance, & Entangle up at the same time. All of them are concentration spells. Probably a slight miss design. LOL.

GM: Noticed on SheK as I was looking over her spells and such. I added the three more 2cn spells to known list that was missing. I added her another 2cn level spell slot she was missing. Noted that she has two more ritual spells possible. And can use Favored Foe three times, not twice. And she can cast Beast Sense once per day too.

Also noticed two features she has lets her learn "Misty Step" twice for known spells. (Fey Touched & Fey Wander)

Vice is showing as 29/34. Just wanting to know if his being injured is visibly noticable?
Jul 6, 2024 2:23 am
Vice was hit by the skeleton’s attack. I will say that since Peldan is behind the cover of the corner, looking through the narrow opening of the chamber, over 37’s shield and through the light of his flaming sphere, he’s not able to see what’s happened to SheK and Vice.
Jul 17, 2024 11:57 pm
OOC:
Appears I have mistaken that 5e treats skeletons as evil and not neutral as some previous editions. Grrr. ...
Jul 18, 2024 12:04 am
Even if skeletons themselves were neutral, that doesn't mean other people see them (or any undead) as ok.
Jul 18, 2024 12:10 am
SkeK reactions were based on them being neutral creations and not evil undead. As evil undead, sure destroy that evil obelisks. Life of playing too many editions over time. So, I guess let it slide as something really that didn't happen. :)

It’s too bad Armat seems to have left. I would have loved his take on this.

No worries. I’m going to say it’s too tight for flight in here. The ceiling is only 10 feet. Seeing that your wingspan is 10 feet I would say it would be difficult to stay above the ground in the current environment.
Jul 23, 2024 11:06 pm
Malak's bow is a +1 Longbow... did his physical attacks via arrows seem to damage the obelisk as other magic has?

There was damage from the arrow, but the magical attacks seemed to work much better.

With the springing of this new chain-based trap, does Peldan experience any sort of connection or sensation related to Vera as was the case previously?
Sep 4, 2024 9:51 pm
Due to Vera’s memories now engrained in his mind, the sound of chains would definitely have an affect on Peldan. No physical or psychic damage, you may RP it as you see fit.

I'm used to standing in lines for 30-40 minutes... but since I travelled alone this time, I found the joy of the Single Rider Line. I rarely waited for than 5 minutes, so I did a lot more rides than I thought I would.

37 sees the spectral figure possessing Cassel pull the halfling toward him as Peldan shifts into the ethereal realm.



A flash of light invisible to everyone strikes the figure.

In the ethereal, the spectre writhes, but remains bound in place. The ghostly Peldan seems to look frantically around him.



37 sees Peldan hack at the obelisk somehow with a small knife, before smashing a wine bottle from his pack. The tiniest of cracks appears on the artifact. Frantic, he runs out of the chamber and begins pulling the unseen and unmoving spectre toward the chamber’s exit.



37 watches as the spectre within Cassel bursts into dozens, possibly even a hundred tiny balls of blue light. A singular globulous orb of green light flickers in their midst. The blue lights dart angrily around before converging on the green orb. In what can only be described as swarm of ghostly hornets, the green orb within is torn apart by the tiny spirits. The light from the display of ferocity illuminates Peldan, who watches on in fascinated horror.

The green light has completely disappeared, shredded into infinitesimal pieces which fade into the ether. The little wisps the remain, flit around for a few moments before they begin to disperse. Most of these fade away as well. A few scatter vanishing through the stone walls of the chamber.

One last little light approaches Peldan. The halfling bows deeply to the orb, seeming to recognize it. 37 sees Peldan conversing solemnly with the orb for a few moments before they begin to leave the chamber together.
Oct 31, 2024 3:45 pm
I figured I post what 37 saw in the OOC. It’ll be above table until 37 shares his experience.

Sadly, the finish was built around those that met Vera. Here’s what Peldan and Armat experienced with her. The Tarot cards Peldan wanted from Vice were hers



Waves of icy pain flow through your hand, through your arm and into your mind.

At once, a lifetime of images flashes before your eyes. A young, dark skinned woman at the centre of it all. Her life, filled with as much sorrow. Chased for her abilities, she is perpetually on the run. Her beliefs are so foreign to you. Glorifying death, yet running from it. Embracing it, yet preventing it. Throughout her life, you hear her mantra ring in your head:

Death is the end, Dolurrh is oblivion, and if the gods exist, they are cruel. Stand with those you care for; all we have is this life and each other. You watch her find herself amongst others of her belief. They band together, grow in numbers and friendship. The group try to settle on the edge of the nation a Breland. They found the hall you’re standing in. Until, one fateful night, betrayed by one of their own, she watches them all turned before her eyes. A shadowy figure collects their energies and their shells all bow to him. Except Vera.

You try to flee through the chambers behind the altar, down into the crypts below. Panicked, fumbling for something. Something hidden Something important. You unroll a scroll written in blood. As you cast the scroll, you watch Vera’s body fall to the floor. The bloody parchment still in your now spectral hand. They’re coming. You magically set the scroll on fire in a flash of spectral flames.

Immediately, you feel the chains grip your wrists, pulling you toward the figure. His green eyes glow with blind fury. Another chain erupts from his hand, strangling you. Your spectral form needs draw no breath, yet your throat is squeezed shut. Eyes bulging, you feel the terror as the figure comes into focus. Your love. Kassel. He hurls you through the crypt walls, you feel the stone and brick pass through you. Through the void of the hall with your undead friends, past the pillars, through the ceiling and into the attic. Chains bind to the walls. You fight to escape, but there is none.

Days, perhaps weeks pass in loneliness and darkness. Until, one final insult. Kassel brings Vera’s animated corpse up to you, taunting you. She dances and laughs. Her vibrance gone. Eyes empty. Her laugh, hollow and distant. Just her shell. "… if the gods exist, they are cruel… and now you have no one to stand by, or care for.", the shell’s creepy voice says, pitiless, mocking.

Unable to speak or respond, Kassel never says a word. He ushers Vera’s shell from the room. Gives you one last look from his glowing eyes, then closes and locks the door.

There she is left.

Over the years, those who find her, fear her. Either run from her or fight her, at their own peril. She withers and fades till a red Knight of Vol opens the door and shows her kindness only a fellow Seeker would understand.

The memories send searing pain through your mind.

Once upon a time, Core was the driver, but anyone can attune to the cart. A mark of transport isn’t necessary, it just allows its use without attunement.

Unattuned, the speed is halved.

Nope. And this seems like a good time for them. It's sounding like the group might need a long rest before we head out again, as our basement was a lot more grueling than expected.

All items found are yours, since there were not from the Mournland. Let me know what, if anything, you would like to keep. Also, what you’d like to sell.
Nov 8, 2024 4:49 am
I need to take a few days off or a week. Too much stress for me.
Nov 8, 2024 4:42 pm
Ok...

Each of us take 600gp.

The list shows 1200gp, 450 gp, and 150gp. That's 1800gp, neatly divided by 3 players for a total of 600gp each.

I suggest we cash in the gems and put the 100gp (or however much we get) into a "team fund." We can use it to pay for room and board, bribes, whatever team-related expense we run across out of it.

All of the mundane weaponry can be sold off. It won't be much, maybe add that gp to the team fund? Speaking of, I can track the team fund if we want.

As for the rest of the items... 37 would be interested in Tinker's Tools, Shortsword of Warning, one of the bracers, one of the amulets, and perhaps the Boots of Misty Step.

That said, the only thing I'd argue for is the shortsword. (Could use a melee option, just in case I need it in combat.)

I like the Boots of Elvenkind, but mechanically they do nothing for me. Also... I kind of want to mount the Titaness' shield over our front door. Just in case anyone forgets who we are. 😂

I believe SheK has the boots of Misty step. That was my mistake.

I love the idea of the shield being your sign!

As for room and board, I leave it to the group whether you want to fix up the hall as your home base, or pay for hotels. Sheriff did offer it to you.
Nov 8, 2024 4:58 pm
No worries. I won't take them then. Lol

Well, room and board was just one example. Invariably, groups incure expenses that no one player is really responsible for -- nor should they be.

In other games we've used a team fund to do things like pay the NPC crew on our sailing ship, hire NPCs, or pay for a spell to be cast. We've used the fund to purchase diamonds in increments of 300gp worth, in case we need revivify. We bribe people with it. Honestly, the list goes on. It's where all of the odd coins end up -- like, did we get 1000gp with a party of 6? Everyone takes 150gp and the leftover 100 goes in the fund.

I do think 37 would want to claim the old church and make it a home/base of operations... but the fund could still be usefull.

And if down the road we end realizing we don't actually need a team fund, we cash it out and divide it amongst the party.

Oh, it’s a great idea to have a team fund! Wasn’t arguing against that at all. 37 and Vice have been the O.Gs of the group, I’d recommend setting something like this for when new players join. Especially if your group becomes a fixture in town.

Btw, it looks like we may have four more coming in shortly.
Nov 8, 2024 5:08 pm
37 is really going to have to see about closing up that crack that small characters can use to enter the basement.

New players is always good. The impending influx is also why I thought splitting loot now was in order. After 37, Vice, and SheK divide up what they want, sell off the rest and divide that coin as well... it should be a good starting point for the others.

None of the items interest me. Vice is just saving up to enchant more of his weapons.
Nov 8, 2024 5:20 pm
37 would prefer to just seal it up. Escape can be had by other means.

As a warforged, 37 would not want to overburden Famul. Slaves and servants don't really sit well with him. Famul shouldn't be expected to do the heavy lifting, though he is certainly welcome to contribute of his own volition.
Nov 8, 2024 5:24 pm
Absolutely makes sense to me. I think of famul as B-4 compared to Data. Sure, he has intelligence, but he’s a very rudimentary design. Where you take him from here, is entirely up to you.
Nov 8, 2024 5:28 pm
Good analogy, I like it.
Nov 9, 2024 12:06 am
We can always pay Famul, in addition to offering lodging.

It really only affects how much we give him. And technically how often.

More like pay him for what he's already doing, but yes. I'd say treat the old church as a base of operations (including acting as our home). Not sure about being hired, but it's certainly possible -- depends in part on what plothooks come our way.

Kalli's job is next (as mentioned, 37 didn't intend for the basement to be such a trial). Sounds like you've got it about right to me.

We can definitely offer Famul a job in character, but didn't Peldan already offer? ( sorry, don't remember)

We still have to do the the job for Kalli, so is the in-game reasoning that we are recruiting help to replace the team members that dissapeared? I don't what them to think we are subcontracting the job 😅
Nov 10, 2024 2:15 am
The Mournland is tough. You've dwindled in numbers, it makes sense that you need more help.

I’ve posted chapter three for the new players to frolic. Once you’re finished with chapter two, we’ll get everyone to the Grey Beyond.

Question. How do you all decide on loot distribution by chance. Just want to make sure I'm going along with whatever system is already in place.
Nov 12, 2024 6:16 pm
divide evenly, any specials items we call dibs on, and so far the players have been pretty chill if two people want the same item.
Nov 12, 2024 6:23 pm
Ok cool so just the dibs method and not really anything if person A got two more items than person B last mission so person B gets priority or anything regarding rarity of items.

Just thought I'd check before starting thank you.
Nov 12, 2024 6:39 pm
We’ve been pretty fortunate that people don’t argue too much. I let the players decide who gets what items. Money is split evenly. I also try to have something specific to characters needs available, which helps.

Looking for some input from the group.

I’ve historically posted some side quests as private notes. That way players have something that’s only theirs. However, that has come to bite me in the butt a couple times. Would everyone prefer to know everything that happens in the story? I know we can all avoid being meta about it.

Thoughts?

Also, the holidays are around the corner, gimme your Santa wish lists :D
Nov 14, 2024 6:21 am
I am ok with things being private. I agree that we can (probably) all avoid meta-gaming with the knowledge, but I don't need to know. I know sometimes it can feel nice to have a Secret Thing, and if people want that little warm fuzzy who am I to prevent it?

That said, not sure how it has bit you but I trust it has. We've been doing this long enough, I trust your judgement. Handle it however works best for you.

As for Christmas... I honestly haven't thought about what 37 might want. He's pretty self-contained. I can give it some thought though.
Nov 14, 2024 7:49 am
Oh man, what does the DM want for Christmas? VICE wants Cyre to be able to transform into a walking mode, but he may have to come up with something more reasonable.
Nov 14, 2024 8:19 am
I prefer to keep everything public. I think it's more fun to be able to have the option of reading what's going on. If a player prefers to keep their part of the plot hidden, then it certainly fine by me.

Maybe the default could be to use public spoilers? With the option of using private notes if a player prefers that?
[ +- ] For your eyes only
With a public spoiler, players get to decided if/when they read the spoiler, and I like that flexibility.
Nov 14, 2024 8:38 am
I do like the option of knowing ( and of others players knowing what my character was doing) comes in handy if someone forgets something.

Maybe spoilers tags are the way to go?
Nov 14, 2024 10:46 am
I also like keeping side quests out in the open for others to read and enjoy. I like the spoiler idea.
Nov 14, 2024 2:09 pm
I don't think I have a preference, but I supposed I would side on spoiler tags as well.

For Christmas Torhak would like an Official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle...or a fun set of armor, or a shield...or a quirky wondrous items. He's a big fan of novelty.
Nov 14, 2024 2:16 pm
You’ll shoot your eye out!
Nov 14, 2024 2:25 pm
😂😂😂 lol. No preference hidden vs out in the open. Hidden makes more role play available so we can talk about it what is not known to all more likely than if it's already out in the open. But good role play can happen either way. Thats more on the players than the system the game is setup. So it makes no difference to me.

Hmm maybe a mechanical eye in case madclergy shoots out my eye with his Official Red Ryder carbine action two-hundred shot range model air rifle. Lol

No but I can't think of anything off the top of my head but I'll think of something. Although a mechanical eye does sound interesting now that I think about it. And you can have fun narrating how I might have lost the one it's replacing. Hmm

We have another cart, but is isn't powered by a lightning elemental. I don't know if we can use one cart to pull the other. (I'd rather not make multiple trips if it's avoidable.)

Unrelated; I feel like there should be some sort of tradition that starts with the Titaness' head. Like you have to rub it for luck, or look at it and spit outside before entering. Whatever the tradition is/becomes, I imagine Ikar's scrappers refuse to do it, making people more envious of their success.

I mean, the map isn’t exact, but it’s about 40 feet from the door to the head.
Nov 19, 2024 6:48 pm
Maybe it's a luck thing, a person who can get the coin into the mouth from the door is said to have good luck that day. Roz could start the tradition and the coins could just be a way of tipping them lol
Nov 19, 2024 6:53 pm
Had to double check. She doesn’t have a mouth. It would have to be her eyes.
Nov 19, 2024 7:39 pm
Madclregy I think you should let Torhak start the tradition. Roz will appreciate the extra tips, and the of them seem to have an understanding already. If he starts, the rest of us can follow and the the tradition will basically be established.

Regarding the cart: I was also thinking that we could add a trailer to it. I guess that could just be a regular cart of some kind. Maybe we can also strap some stuff on top of it.
Nov 19, 2024 8:04 pm
There is a blacksmith in town if you wanted to modify the cart into a trailer and put a hitch on the other one. It’ll cost a bit… not much though.

I hope one of the veterans can come up with a plan for how to deal with those complications.

It sounds like I need to catch up on the old IC threads. I don't know who or where that is. :-)

As I see it, the plan is:
- Prepare for the salvage run (buy provisions and fetch/upgrade the cart)
- Sleep in the basement
- Complete the salvage run
- Profit!
Nov 19, 2024 8:45 pm
Vice and 37 still need to explain the job, privately.

After that, I leave it to the group. Do you want to RP the problem of the cart, or we do a cut scene and you tell me how it’s done

PS - You can sleep in the hall/church. You don’t have to sleep in the basement.

The Elemental Cart is in Vathirond. The pull cart is at the church. Vathirond is about 25 miles away from Salvation. An hour away by lightning rail, a little less than two hours with the cart’s own power. Or just over three hours in its current horse drawn state by Leon.

You may recall Earic and Bela helped coordinate your arrival from New Cyre and could likely reach out to Leon if necessary

Edit: I looked it up I was crossing this character with Pun-Pun the super kobold.

As far as I can see, I don't have access to view the other character sheets. Is that intentional?

It just struck me that I'm not even sure what classes the rest of you are.

Thinking it through, I guess it's actually only Vice that I'm not certain about.
Nov 26, 2024 5:29 pm
He’s a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.
Nov 26, 2024 5:37 pm
I always wanted to play that class
Nov 26, 2024 5:45 pm
Strength: Yup
Dexterity: Smexterity
Constitution: Still locked away from Nick Cage
Intelligence: Hey buddy what are you insinuating
Wisdom: Guided by the Ancestors
Charisma: Carpenter, better in Angel but still liked her in Buffy

Class: A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.
Level: ??? (uh oh, you aren't high enough to see my level)
Nov 26, 2024 5:54 pm
Ha. Nice.

My wife and I are re-watching Buffy with our daughters. Currently on season 3.
Nov 26, 2024 5:59 pm
lol - Vice is an Arcane Trickster (with 1 level of Fighter). Now that the rest of you are here, he can go back to hiding behind someone and throwing his chakram at enemies.

Vice eyes her suspiciously "So, what happened to the ballista then?"
Admit it: You wanted to mount the ballista on cart. Now so do I.

Torhak will help load it! :) Unless we could somehow get the artificers to upgrade it to a repeating automatic ballista!

That's for people that want to to play a role playing game, but don't want to roleplay 😄
Nov 28, 2024 8:12 am
Yes, I would not use it to write posts. That would definitely take the fun out of it.

Some people feel the same way about the image generation, and I can completely respect that. Maybe I would feel the same way if I had any kind of artistic skill. Who knows? I just really appreciate the ability to quickly visualize something like the Craballista.

Oh, and I also don't mind using it for something like this:

Fun With Acronyms
Dec 2, 2024 1:13 pm
My lack of Eberron setting knowledge. I googled siberys crystal and it said these were the rarest kind. Since Tryne is an artificer, I'm assuming he is well familiar with the different kinds of crystals and potentially has handled some of the common ones.

How common are these crystals and considering Tryne's background in the slums, is it possible he has never seen one in person, or at least maybe only small shards.
Dec 2, 2024 1:48 pm
Because of the way they’re described, their rarity is similar to diamonds. But just like any gem stone, size and quality matter. They are very sought after, especially in a town filled unscrupulous people that are looking for any item of value ;)

The average person would only know a little of their true power. Using them takes an expert. Artificers and Dragonmarked would likely covet them.
Dec 2, 2024 1:57 pm
Siberys Crystals - Rarest. Gold in colour. Enhances dragonmarked abilities

Khyber Crystals - Blue in colour. Mostly used in elemental binding

Eberron Crystals - Most common. Pink in colour. Mostly used for spell casting.

I feel this would be common knowledge among those in Eberron. Knowledge on how to use them would need research.
Dec 2, 2024 9:15 pm
Was bored at work :)

Here’s the layout of the hall
https://i.imgur.com/W9HvxkO.jpeg

And the basement.
https://i.imgur.com/d0NMs1v.jpeg

I updated the orientation to show their true relation to each other. The catacombs are to the south of the hall with the entrance in the back room with the door. The first chamber would be directly beneath the altar.
Dec 2, 2024 10:31 pm
amazing work!

would the basement be a good place for the artificers to set up shop? Or would their projects be too big?
Dec 2, 2024 10:37 pm
So...are we saying Torhak can't wield the staff as a two handed weapon? lol

Edit: Also amazing mapz!
Last edited December 2, 2024 10:37 pm
Dec 2, 2024 10:47 pm
I agree, the maps look fantastic!

I would think the basement would be a bad choice for a workshop, only because it really limits the size of what we can take in and out. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I got the impression the stairway down was pretty normal person size... which honestly should be fine for most projects but would certainly put a limit on what we could do.

I feel like the left or right side of the main hall would be best due to the double doors.
Dec 2, 2024 10:51 pm
The staircase is normal human sized. Medium sized objects would be no issue. Large or greater would not fit.
Dec 2, 2024 10:52 pm
So, pretty much what I though. Yeah, main floor seems best if we're going to set up a dedicated shop.
Dec 2, 2024 11:46 pm
Or you guys can make a basketball court over the basement that opens up like the X-men mansion!

Mmm... no. The requirement is specific, and creative attempts to bypass said requirement will not be accepted.

Apologies.
Dec 3, 2024 1:27 pm
Yeah, it doesn't feel quite right. I just thought it was time to get moving and it seemed like a waste to leave the ring behind.

Feel free to challenge Lali about it. She will just claim somewhat honestly that she was just studying it like she did with the staff. She will hand it over without trouble.
Dec 3, 2024 8:47 pm

Does driving the cart count toward attunement or is there more to it?
Dec 10, 2024 7:14 pm
Driving the cart for four hours gives attunement. Behind the scenes, the elemental gets used to your control, like a horse. Hence the animal handling. That’s the "resistance" to your inputs and why it only moves at half speed till attuned
Dec 12, 2024 7:25 pm
Does Feather Fall do anything for horizontal velocity?
Dec 12, 2024 7:59 pm
Not really. It would just slow your fall while you fly through the air into an object I suppose.

Btw, I switched the private messages to spoilers if you want to see what the other side was doing/seeing.
Dec 13, 2024 12:25 am
Thanks - it was good to see what else was going on. That was fun :)

37 has a wand of truesight, right? Let's use that next time we go through the Grey.

He does, but he succeeded on the save, so it didn’t matter this time.

I’m glad you liked it :)
Dec 13, 2024 8:26 am
But he could use it to cast the spell on someone else, right? The driver, for instance. I'm mostly worried about driving of a cliff/into a ghost.
Dec 13, 2024 4:07 pm
This one needs to be held, but doesn’t require attunement.
[ +- ] Wand of Truesight
Dec 13, 2024 5:45 pm
Yeah, casting it on others isn't an option. Also, getting someone to hold it and activate it while they are ensorceled may prove difficult. And that's before we even get into safely moving it from inside the carriage to the driver outside.
Dec 13, 2024 5:57 pm
Doesn't the fact that it has a duration of 1h mean that a person could hold it, cast it, then pass it to the next person?
Dec 13, 2024 6:25 pm
I think the person gaining truesight has to be holding it. So passing isn't an option. Plus it has to recharge. But I'm sure we can come up with an option for making sure at least the driver doesn't go crazy when passing through the mist.

The way I read it, whoever is holding it at the time of activation gains the benefits of Truesight. I also didn't think they had to continue holding it, honestly. Like, after activation they could put it away... 37 just tends to hold it, because he usually has a free hand.

Well see in the next outside combat to see if it helps or if it makes fighting harder. Might need to go back to the last image if the mask doesnt help Meepo's eyes outside.

A couple of years ago, I ran Lost Mine of Phandelver for my daughters and some of their friends. It was their first DnD campaign. The party wizard was quite reckless, and one of her favorite moves was to Misty Step close to enemies, so she could get them in range and/or line of sight.

It looks like Lali is developing a similar habbit. :)

Unlike that wizard, Lali doesn't know Burning Hands, fortunately.

Lol no worries. I wanted to make Meepo not confident in his own ideas and abilities and that's why I wrote him to act and say what he said and done.

Yeah I get the whole spell slot thing that's why I was thinking minor illusion. It would be more tedious as the spell only lasts one minute but when there is multiple people keeping one small illusion up each person wouldn't have to cast it as often and you don't have to worry about the spell glitching in-between your first and second cast as someone else's illusion would be maintaining it between casts. And no spell slots needed is a plus
Jan 14, 2025 10:25 pm
I like your choice in photo Tasrek! That was my favourite as well.

P.S - I was going to point out, Minor Illusion wouldn't really be practical to recast every minute for the better part of three or four hours.

Jan 20, 2025 1:57 am
Nice.

I would never btw. IMO, a TPK needs to be mutually understood as a possibility of encounter, before the encounter happens. I played for a DM that clearly thrived on trying to kill the party, or at least most of it with every major encounter. Zero time for rests, no regaining spell slots. He got one of mine killed, the other was at 1 hp for the end. Brutal, for players that didn’t know. Fun if you expect it.
Jan 23, 2025 10:37 pm
I just want to make sure I as the player understand what Torhak would understand regarding the term "Guardian" as it was in single quotes.
Jan 23, 2025 10:40 pm
The coined term for your group in town is currently ‘Guardians of Salvation’. But Torhak would get the hint that he’s referring to you lot.

Whether that name changes, is up to the group.
Jan 24, 2025 3:12 am
Ikar, that scrapper at the bar that tips well isn't a grey dog?
Jan 24, 2025 3:19 am
Nope. He runs his own crew.
Jan 25, 2025 7:22 pm
I apologize. Vice's questions make sense because I made a mistake a while back. I accidentally had Belaluur call Ikar's crew the Grey Dogs.

That was 100% my fault. The Grey Dogs are who Kalli works for. Ikars Salvage work primarily with Irullan in the Market. The Grey Dogs work with whoever will buy their salvage.

I've fixed it in the lore as well. Ikar's Salvage is the building on the edge of town. Just down from the church actually.

I sincerely apologize for the confusion.

Thank you Vice for the beautiful subtlety in pointing it out. Your notes must be awesome!
Jan 26, 2025 7:36 pm
Happy Dungeoniversary!! Can’t believe it’s been two years since we started this. Some may remember I picked up this campaign when the previous DM ducked out midstream. I’ve never been a DM before, so a lot of reading and quick learning to figure it out as soon as I could. Thanks for your patience in those early days.

Salvation Outpost was designed as a quick five shot, so adapting it to a true campaign was a little bumpy. Recasting characters, re-envisioning stories, while staying true to the established world was stressful, but has been so much fun.

I have lots of ideas for where to go, but as always I want your input too. Let me know what you want to do and where you’d like to go. Eberron is massive!

I was thinking of a way to say thank you for being so dedicated. So, I have two ideas:

1. Everyone preps a level up to 6th for an event upcoming
2. You each pick a legendary item you want for your build and I will weave it into the next part of the campaign.

If that works, we’ll go with majority rules, but in the event of a tie, I leave the decision to my two senior players, 37 and Vice.
Jan 26, 2025 8:49 pm
Congratulations! That's very impressive. Very few campaigns survive that long.

I don't have a strong opinion on the question you asked. Whatever people want is fine by me.
Jan 26, 2025 10:00 pm
This has quickly become one of my favorite games. Congrats on the 2 year mark. Looking forward to more to come.

I also do not have a strong feeling on the vote. My character is so new :) I'm just happy to be here.
Jan 27, 2025 3:37 am
Lol I'm with those two. It's doesn't matter to me and congrats on the two year mark and for this being your first time dming. That's awesome I wouldn't have guessed. Your a natural! I've just been having a fun time with y'all.

But I do know how in some games everyone says they don't care which option takes place so no options are decided so I will say I slightly lean towards the items but I will be happy with whatever happens
Jan 27, 2025 4:18 am
This has indeed been a great game.
I'd still like to fix Cyre, the airship, and check in with Earic, but also I'm am having so much fun in Salvation

I'd also prefer the items over leveling.
Jan 27, 2025 4:45 am
Alright, that’s two for items, two for cool with whatever :D
Jan 27, 2025 9:30 am
I'm mostly used to playing this game in fairly low level and low magic settings, so I don't have much experience with legendary items in actual play.

Some of them would definitely have huge impact, so I think it will be challenging to balance things afterwards. I'm not arguing against it. Just observing that things might get a little crazy. That's not necessarily a bad thing. :)
Jan 27, 2025 12:56 pm
I can't believe it has been two years! It has been fantastic, and honestly this is a perfect example of what PbP can -- and should -- be. Thank you, Nictorah, for a fantastic ride so far!

Now, as for the question at hand... I honestly am fine either way. Gun to my head, I'd probably pick a cool item just because what D&D player doesn't love cool items? But as runestone said, legendary items can have an impact on balancing. I'd hate to unintentionally disrupt the story. So I'm content with either option, really.

Edit: OK, so my attempt to mimic the GM emblem for Nictorah's name was only mildly successful. Lol

I really appreciate you continuing to DM the game Nictorah! I am having a bunch of fun so far, even as I try to establish who Torhak is and what his role will be.

I'd love a fancy item, legendary or not, though level 6 is fun too :) So vote is for item, but happy either way.
Jan 27, 2025 4:41 pm
Now I'm tempted to say that Lali needs a Belt of Storm Giant strength just to see the look on Torhak's face when she beats him in arm wrestling.
Jan 27, 2025 4:51 pm
Looks like item has won out. Balance would be difficult depending on the item, but fun. If you prefer, for the sake of the game, maybe we go with a rare / very rare wonderous item? Also, it's not like I'd just hand them to you. Where's the fun in that? You'll earn them.

I realized the type of player I am, when I set this up, then saw your responses. I totally thought it was gonna be the free level up.

Lol, that's amazing though.

P.S - For 37 and Tryne, I wanted to make sure you know you could totally attempt to copy the professor's notes before Kalli's patron arrives. (or could have begun to do so from the night before... it's just a lot of parchment)
Jan 27, 2025 5:00 pm
PPS - I exported our adventure into a word document for fun... Chapters 1 & 2 alone are 700 pages... and 120000 words...

I certainly didn’t do that on my own. The DM may plan out the adventure, but the players breathe life into them. You guys are awesome!
Jan 27, 2025 5:54 pm
I love levels as much as the next person, but items are so...crunchy :)

In general, an item's rarity is a fairly bad indicator for its power - I'm looking at you Universal Solvent and Staff of Power :).

Consider using a list like this one, where clever people have tried to do a more fair comparison: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8XAiXpOfz9cMWt1RTBicmpmUDg/view?resourcekey=0-ceHUken0_UhQ3Apa6g4SJA

This will always be very subjective, but I think it will be more easy to balance that way.

With all that said ... can I please have the Scroll of Tarasque Summoning? It's really important to my build :)

PPS - I exported our adventure into a word document for fun... Chapters 1 & 2 alone are 700 pages... and 120000 words...

I certainly didn’t do that on my own. The DM may plan out the adventure, but the players breathe life into them. You guys are awesome!

I didn't mean to derail the discussion with the list of magic item prices. I'm perfectly fine either way.

My thoughts so far on items that would be fun for Lali (in no particular order):
- Crystal ball
- Cloak of displacement
- Some kind of instrument
- Something with fire to go with the ring (maybe simply an encounter with a fire elemental to unlock its properties)

Oh, and it would be fun if someone picked up a sentient item :)
Jan 28, 2025 4:34 pm
I've already got big plans for my weapons. 🤔 I guess I'd like better armor.
Jan 29, 2025 9:20 pm
New ideas:
- It would also be cool to have something to help secure the hall. Permanent Guards and Wards would be nice. :)
- Can we upgrade the cart with an intelligent talking elemental, paint it black, and call it KITT? Our driver's surname is Knight, after all. :)

That went well, was worried Tothak was going to go full Karen in the carpenter
Feb 3, 2025 3:10 pm
There was definitely a moment when I thought about it...and then was like naw, I like it here lol
Feb 3, 2025 6:43 pm
So everyone gets 100 GP. And 100 into the 'base fund', or is that going to the carpenter?
Feb 3, 2025 6:51 pm
So far, everyone gets 100 gp, plus 100 to the base

I leave it to Torhak to figure how the lumber money goes.
Feb 3, 2025 8:04 pm
Torhak paid for the lumber, he wont' ask for that money back, so the 100 can go in the group fund and he'll take his 100 gp from the job as repayment.
Feb 3, 2025 9:56 pm
Nah, this is exactly why we have a group fund. I'll subtract 20gp from the current fund to repay the 120gp Torhak spent.
Feb 4, 2025 5:27 pm
Is there a reason Torhak isn't allowed to pay from his own funds?
Feb 4, 2025 5:52 pm
An individual shouldn't be expected to fund things for the team.
Feb 4, 2025 6:01 pm
To jump in I agree with Majunior. That group spending Should come from the group funds, it's the whole reason why we have group funds but on the other hand it is up to Torhak to make the choice if he wants to tell the group. Player can only control their character and should have the choice of what they want to try to do with their character (unless word passes from the carpenter that the materials have been paid for then we can jump Torhak and force him to take his money back lol or not let him go shopping for the group anymore lol)(kidding of course about jumping Torhak)

yeah, we have a fund for expenses for the whole team. I guess if Torhak really wanted to cover the full expense he could.
Feb 4, 2025 6:35 pm
I just have seen money become a point of contention in games (as in real life), amd it can breed resentment. Opinions may vary -- and I'm not saying anyone would actually get upset -- but we have the group fund to prevent anything like that from happening.
Feb 4, 2025 7:37 pm
I think my biggest contention would be Torhak not having the option in game, I see Torhak as investing that 100gp towards the group, it's a personal investment into the group he's becoming part of. He didn't earn that church headquarters, he didn't fight the Titaness or secure this church in any way. So if he can help fix up the Church HQ that makes him feel like he has some stake.

Of course as a player, I don't disagree that the group fund should be for things like..generally. :) (Also please don't jump Torhak, he would feel real bad about smiting you lol)
Feb 4, 2025 8:07 pm
What's a little smiting among friends?
Feb 4, 2025 8:28 pm
that's fair, but Vice would ague that that team members come and go, so it just wouldn't be fair for one member to pay that much, especially if fate, or the winds, or a spear took them elsewhere.
Feb 4, 2025 8:42 pm
Well, if a spear takes him he better get a dang plaque or something no matter how much he's paid! :)
Feb 4, 2025 8:55 pm
Lol, it feels like such a Canadian thing to argue about whether a person is allowed to be too nice. I say, let Torhak pay if he wishes. It's his money after all. If the minotaur minotantrums about it later, we can always come back to this conversation.

To answer Meepo's question: I used this directive from the game information thread to assume that the info has been shared off screen.
Quote:

Information Sharing
PCs are automatically assumed to share all information on what they observe and through skill checks etc.... with one another unless a PC specifies they are not sharing that specific information that was obtained. This helps keep the game moving along without having to ask, "Do I know that to?" Or "I'm telling everyone else." If you want to Role Play it out that's okay, if not it will be assumed the party will know regardless.

That part was only intended as a joke.

But if someone is selling it and the price is right ...
Feb 8, 2025 1:00 am
Yes, the longsword and longbow are probably magical -- possibly even potent -- but after everything that happened with the haunting, the bound dead, and all the rest... graverobbing seems crass to 37.

And not to speak for Vice, but as I recall he agreed not to disturb her remains. The reasoning may be different, but the outcome was aligned.
Feb 8, 2025 3:46 am
The sword, yes. The longbow, no.

Also, Armat was a Blood of Vol paladin. Mother Jahanah has issue with the Blood of Vol and his Karnath allegiances. Vera was also a follower of the Divinity Within. I believe 37 has her diary?
Feb 9, 2025 11:08 pm
As a player, part of me wants to have 37 attune to the cauldron. Wouldn't even need to roll a save.

As a character, 37 can't come up with a reason to make use of such a vile thing.
Feb 10, 2025 2:11 am
yup. 🤔 Maybe we could give it to our enemies. or trick them into taking it?

Fortunately, Critical Fails aren't a thing in 5E. And I don't remember our GM instituting a Critical Fail houserule... although it has been a while so I suppose I could be mistaken.
Feb 24, 2025 4:20 pm
I rarely punish the players. If I do, it's always in good fun. Some of you may have noticed, crit fail by NPCs are usually disastrous.
Mar 10, 2025 7:02 am
I think we can offer to help Kalli, but for a fee. We aren't a charity, and her team is technically competition
Mar 10, 2025 10:47 pm
True.
But Ikar's crew seem to be out to get us - and them. An alliance with the frey Dogs could be useful.
Lali would like to make friends with them because they have experience in going deeper into the Mournland, but she will not object if someone tries to make Kalli pay us.
Mar 11, 2025 1:40 am
37 wouldn't think this way, but as a player I see helping Kalli as a boon we can call in later. Maybe it's my history in the WoD games, but someone owing you a favor is usually worth more than money.

Man, nobody do the math on the minotaur's lifting. 🤣😂🤣
Mar 12, 2025 1:34 am
What’s 160 kg (x2) among friends? Light work, no reaction.
Mar 12, 2025 2:20 am
Oh man, I didn't even think about how much that would weigh! My bad *embarrassed*
Mar 12, 2025 2:21 am
I won’t let that carrying weight be canon, but I’ll allow it for the scene.
Mar 12, 2025 2:47 am
PS - One barrel would be impressive enough. I’d allow that
Mar 12, 2025 11:22 am
Understood! Thanks.
Mar 18, 2025 12:25 am
Did we talk at all about our past adventures with Earic and the airship that we need soarwood to fix. I don't want to repeat it, but I can give a quick summary in-character.
Mar 18, 2025 12:38 am
We can assume the new team members know.

Lady d’Cannith discussion
Mar 18, 2025 3:14 pm
Ok. So Kalazart is important as a potential spot to scavenge soarwood to repair your sentient airship friend. And it's also the location of the professor's mysterious other workshop.

No-one can find that city, but our goblin friend may know someone who has mapped a path there? Is that Windchaser?

Is the professor by any chance also the kind of colossi expert that would be needed for the repairs?
Mar 18, 2025 3:53 pm
Yes, Windchaser is the map guy.

The Professor... it didn't really come up whether he knows anything about colossi. Although, having read his notes, 37 or Tryne could roll me an investigation check to find out.
Mar 18, 2025 4:39 pm
On second thought, Tryne has specifically read about docents in the professor's notes and is currently on the hunt for one. He already knows that they were used in Collossi construction. For Tryne, he would have a pretty good idea that the professor has some experience in this matter.

I'll be traveling for the next two weeks, not sure what my internet access/time will be like. Please don't wait more than a day if something is needed from Vice, Nictorah can bot him. Just have him ask a lot of questions, and try to remember to hide behind someone bigger during a fight. 😂
Apr 14, 2025 9:33 pm
Will do. Have fun!! I'll try not to let him die...
Apr 19, 2025 6:48 am
Ahh, damn. Why couldn't it be a large dragon?

For one brief moment, I had a perfect plan: Misty step to appear just above the dragon and then ...
[ +- ] The plan
Apr 19, 2025 4:29 pm
Well, he’s a little smaller than that, but he’d be able to carry you I suppose
Apr 19, 2025 4:43 pm
Really? I thought mounts had to be bigger than their riders (and wyrmlings are medium).

Hmmm... how far can Torhak throw Vice? I'm sure he'd be thrilled at the chance to ride a dragon.

It's also not as fun now that I've told you about it in advance. :)
Apr 19, 2025 4:47 pm
Without tipping my hand, the rules say strength x15. Unless Laualith weighs 300 pounds…
Apr 27, 2025 10:36 pm
I'm back home, yall have been busy! Thanks for keeping Vice ( and Vurtue) alive :)

In a lull. All baddies are down, now that Torhak has finished the sleeping one. Lali just made it to the island to meet Virtue and Leith. You’re welcome to have joined her in the meantime.
