We ignore food/water need. Let's assume you have a magic item that provide you with water and nourishment.

Ok, cool with me:)

Besides what are the reasons for our PCs to go into the tomb - I presume it was established in earlier events?

Quote:

A party of adventurers made their uneasy way to the Forbidden City hoping to locate and destroy ungodly necromantic device called the Soulmonger

Why we do it? What we know about it? Or we are there rather for treasures mentioned by Acererak?

Doesn't this post answer your question ?
Probably failed to mention your primary/ultimate goal is to destroy Soulmonger. NPC who hired you have reasons to believe the artifact is the reason for death curse she is affected by: The curse prevented the raising of the dead, even when using resurrection spells, and caused creatures that were previously raised from death to wither and die. You don't know if she is dead already or soon to die

I read this post as basically we are after the Bad Guy:) I wondered if there is something more to it. At it seams to be:) So we also are trying to save some undead person/creature? Or she was "simply" raised from death? Otherwise why the curse would be effecting her?

If those question bothers you, just say so and ignore them:) Just wanted to know how strong motivation our PC have. If it is "only" the money and power:)

We skipped 4 chapters - I was more surprised you had no questions before :)

NPC hired you is retired adventurer. She were killed at lest once in her career but cleric in her party cast Revivify after the battle.

P.S. You were probably confused by "raising of the dead" term. That has nothing to do with undead. It refers to all types of resurrection spells that returns a dead character to normal life. In 5e all resurrection type spells ar of school Necromancy.

Great! Thanks. Interesting. But we do it for money that she will pay us, or some other motivations are in too?

Mar 29, 2024 8:57 am

What she pays is nothing compared to wealth well known to be contained in Acererak's trap-ridden dungeon.
On the other hand I believe that lvl 9 adventurers must me more than interested to restore cleric ability to revivify and resurrect characters, because adventuring lifestyle assume quite high chance to die.

Should that be not enough a motivation I can share few more, in two words your PCs mus suspect death curse is just feeding Soulmonger with the power. If not destroyed soon enough it could bring doom to the whole world.

Oh... saving the world! It's quite meaningful motivation I must say! :) (and having backup plan of getting back from death possibility, is not back too). All clear now! Thanks. With this info, probably I will be able to incorporate this in future RPs:)

Will there be some way to communicate between those in the tunnel and those outside of it, when the door will close? Vatoris has something like telepaty? Or maybe Tinks?

Tinks has no such spells.

Hi all. I've been busy celebrating ester. Back now. Still don't see enough input from players to proceed. Please understand my confusion as a DM as I see:

- no PC responding to Tinkara idea magically reduce the size "doors"
- Still not enough votes to skip even an hour
- no PC doing anything

I've decided to do some bookkeeping for the party, will be storing all party resourced or other info in my "DM" charactersheet.
Taping on DM link or dungeon picture above it next to any my post should open the sheet for you in read only mode.

Apr 5, 2024 10:29 am

Thanks for that! It will be very handy. I noted those piton in my sheet too. So now I will erase it :)

How does it work in 5e? Will Tinkara get some more damage over time? Should I cast Lesser restoration on her?

Apr 5, 2024 4:11 pm

No, it was a one time damage. 5e try to simplify things as much as possible.
Most of the poisons in 5e either do instant damage put a poisoned condition or do both. The condition could be removed with Lesser Restoration. I will certainly inform everyone when any condition is put on a PC. I will keep diseases and curses secret until they manifest.

P.S. In 5e taking more damage over time is mostly associated with spells that require spell caster to keep concentrating. There are a few exception though. For example, if I remember correctly a poison exists that - if you drink it - will only do damage at midnight and you don't know about it until the midnight. Could wake up dead if you get to sleep with few HP...
