Back in action.

Glad to have you back!

Unfortunately, I'm gonna bow out of the game... Brain's just not where it is to be in as many as I am right now.

Happy gaming to ya all!

I was about to PM you about this before we got into the weeds of the dungeon. No problem if you want to bow out, and thanks for adventuring with us thus far! Happy gaming to you too!

I have just added Morgan's character sheet to the game, as a public character sheet that anyone can look at. That way you can better know her abilities and how to use her services. Even though she acts like a full-fledged party member (2nd-level according to the module), I'm thinking of counting her as one of Delfarious's three retainers. Does that sound fair?

Sad to see you leave @ Abyssal. It was fun playing with you.

And yes, cheers Abbyssal!

I'm terribly sorry everyone, but I don't think I can continue playing in this game: https://gamersplane.com/forums/thread/1260/?p=1694405#p1694405

Yeah... I was excited to play with you all! And it was certainly fun while I lasted. Happy dungeon delving to you all!

Safe travels, kalajel!

I'm sorry to hear that, kalajel. Safe travels and good luck. Hope you can get back to gaming soon.

With kalajel's departure, we are currently at half the party size I envisioned for this game. Here's what I'm thinking: we continue this dungeon crawl with five players. Someone else can take up mapping, or else I can NPC Father Petronius. Robin (and maybe Petronius) will have to be written out of the narrative. When the party returns to the Keep, we can decide whether to recruit more players and/or make up the difference with retainers.

Works for me.

Fine by me.

Yup, sounds fine.

Sounds reasonable.

Apologies for the delay. Initially I was waiting to see if Darlene or Ezra would do something contrary to the party, then real life took over for a moment. I still want the pace of this game to reflect "a week or sooner if you can" so I will be posting in-game very soon.

Before we continue, I want to set a new precedent for how XP is awarded. Both treasure and monster XP will be awarded in one grand total when the party gets back to safety. Right now that means the Keep, but, once the party moves on from the Keep, it can also mean whatever town, permanent camp, or domain they consider their "home base." To keep the reward tangible, I will declare how much XP the party gets from monsters, but they won't actually get any of it in the moment. The main reason I want to stick to the RAW here is so that the Prime Requisite bonuses actually work like they're supposed to.

Finally, I will be treating Father Petronius like an NPC hireling for the rest of this dungeon crawl, but Robin will be written out of the party immediately. This is because I only have Petronius's character sheet, but also because the party needs its only cleric way more than a second thief—especially because it set out with the assumption that one would be handy. After the party gets back to the Keep, Petronius will leave in anticipation of a new cleric.

EDIT: Just found out I can still see Robin's sheet. Still writing her out for the other reason.

Hi guys I'm sorry for having been so quiet for so long. Things have been a little chaotic. I hope to catch up this week.
