All participants/interested members with questions and discussion OOC pertaining to the adventure post them here in this thread.


House rules for the adventure:

  • ~ Unconsciousness at 0 hps
  • ~ Hp loss continues -1 hp per round after 0 hps until treated by a healer or bandaged
  • ~ Death occurs at -10 hps
  • ~ Healing skills 'successfully' used in advance of magical healing can restore 0-3 hps on each wound received (and bungled attempts will can cause 0-3 hps).  Don't bother using mundane healing skills after magical healing.
  • ~ Bandages prepared by a healer can, depending on the quality, restore between 0-3 hps and in most cases stop the loss of hps through bleeding.
  • ~ Natural healing restores 1 hp per full day of rest or 2hp per full day of bed-ridden rest.
  • ~ Mages must be fully rested (8 hours) before studying spells, and declare the ones committed to memory after studying.
  • ~ Priests channel the energy of their dieties, and must remain within the good graces of their diety performing requisite prayer and rituals once per day.  There is no requirement to pray for specific spells, merely do an on the spot prayer which lasts as long as the casting time for the needed spell.  Priests will know if their diety is unhappy with them.
  • ~ Initiative is determined using standard d10, modified by Dexterity reaction adjustment, weapon speed, specialization, spell casting time, magic item activation time.

I thought I did send you the rolls from Irony. I guse the rolls didn't go through to you. The first roll you asked for was a 4 and the psionic blast was a 9. I thought the first roll was for riding.

Now see! 

There ya go, my point exactly. 

I did not receive your die rolls, but if I had, would've told you... "Hey, through luck and experience Nicolo clasps his legs to the horse's flanks holding on when he feels the animals hindquarters drop to bolt." ... meaning Nicolo stayed in his saddle, and didn't tumble out as you posted.

But that's okay, we can fix this.  You now know your character managed to stay in his saddle, and is riding away from the bug on his horse.  And no points were expended for a Psionic Blast.

Now, to make sure we don't have this happen again:

Option 1:  I do all the rolls for all participants.
PRO:  Makes the game go faster without the added pause of waiting for your die rolls and DM email response;
CON:  The players don't get the feel of  their fate being in their own hands when they make their die rolls;

Option 2: Continue as normal.

Which would you prefer?

Here is the link to the Irony Games' Dice Server and the website just in case http://www.irony.com/mailroll.html.

Also make sure you put your own email address and my email address in the appropriate fields, that way if I don't get roll and you do, you can send me the roll you got.

My email is [email protected]

There were all fixed up good as new.
Go ahead and repost.
HT

Hey there!
 
 How about another Fighter? Kaline of the Desert. She is 5th level, created via Irony some time ago for a game that never finished.
 
I'll attach her char sheet for you. Right now she is in the Twisted root tavern in Elmshade, but after having surved a Ravenloft adventure she is use to being teleported from place to place.

Hey Laurel,

Welcome to the Expedition for the Puzzle Box.  I've reviewed your character, and approve her for use in the adventure. 

Please review your character.  I noticed her level and experience points still reflect a 3rd vice 5th character.  Her saving throw scores don't reflect a 5th level fighter.  Her THAC0 is 16.  Keep in mind the Bracers of Defense don't work in conjunction with armor like chainmail.  AC is 1. chainmail +1 (ac4), shield+1 (ac2), dex (ac1). 

If you need further DM assistance let me know.  Once you've corrected the errors, please copy and paste your character into a notepad and then copy and paste into a posting window under this OOC thread for record on this adventure.  We'll update her as the game progresses.

As for hooking your character up with the other PCs, let's get your PC over to the Barber Shop.  I'll arrange the accident ;)

Thanks for your interest.
HT

Character History

  Kaline Shadowdancer, fighter. She has gone against the ways of her desert clan by being a woman who showed promise with a blade. As a younger child she snuck away from her duties to watch the boys learning, and then snuck out of bed to practice what she saw. One night she was caught and the next day banned with only a knife, a water skin, and her wits to keep her alive.
 
      Despite her sword skills, she is quite shy and quiet as her rearing has brought her up to be. She would prefer to not be noticed unless her sword skill is needed, and then her shyness disappears as she plys her skills. Once the battle is over though, she will drift back into her quiet ways. It was expected she would also service the male guards; however, she had enough pride not permit that to happen. She dueled for the right to remain untouched and was victorious.
 
       Most oft she wears the robes to cover her armor, her face is half veiled at all times. Only her eyes are seen, as the robes cove the rest oh her to include her sable hair. The only clear sign that she is indeed a warrior are the scimitar and knife she openly displays. Her experience with that same guard troop introduced her to different languages, and other weapon skills, in addition to learning how to ride.
 Kaline has survived an adventure in the Dark Lands (Ravensloft where her entire being was changed. Her Faith in herself by the unrelenting chill of the land, her weaponskills by the constant duels with undead creatures and even her own ways as she was challenged by a cleric of Cyric, Kaline finally began to emerge from her strict homeland ways. Once the Undead that they had been summoned to deal with died, the Mists of the land enveloped them all, and sent them to different places
      She found herself at Elmshade, bewildered for a moment, and quite alone. Immediately the Desert woman went back to her old ways, covering her face once more. Kaline found the Twisted Root Tavern, and there she plans on getting a full nights rest before trying to figure out what her next steps should be.

As far as I know, Denora still has 35 HP. I think her horse still has 14/14. I'll do my best to keep up.

UL,

Thanks, I saw your post.  Lightning has been wreaking havoc with the internet and dial-up.  I'll try to expedite your entry into the story setting from the Barber thread, so play along where you feel appropriate.

Thanks, C.

Umm I just realised there is a mistake on Kaline's sheet.
 
Age: 22
 
I will correct it on my sheet and resend it. I'm looking forward to joining this adventure, once she has completed growing into the idea of no longer belonging to the desert.
