Indeed. I wouldn't mind Zev coming. And if it helps move things along at a nice clip I wouldn't mind if he was suddenly a very effective scout.

I agree 100%. You've already established him as not being too much of a talker. And what would Ava do without Zev? From A to Z. :)

Sorry I still haven’t posted anything, was getting psyched and stressed about running this again. I’ll do my best to have a post up in the morning.


No stress!

YDS:
I had us at page 25 with the tower girls hideout, that fight where you all killed a bunch of thugs was the ambush of Terisha Skiloni whom got away. I had added quite a few more thugs cause lets face it, man you all were/are killing machines, and a few more than four even.


She does have all that information to give, it’s just gonna take me awhile to compile it all into a post.


Sorry, even if you didn't have Natalya* there's 20 pages of dungeon to go over for this part, and all the encounters can change due to time of day and any alerts...

And then there's trying to get the f#!$ing maps...

*the book says she tells you all she knows about the layout and traps and forces, but doesn't tell you what all of that she knows.


I'm sorry.

You don't need to throw that all up front in exposition. We'd never remember half of it. The best part of us not being murderhobos and bringing her along is she can bring it up when it's relevant. Don't be so hard on yourself.


Okay, sorry.

You are doing fine. Trying to give enough and not too much is a hard balancing act. We'll figure it out when we get there and the trap goes off. :)

Are you using a PDF or hard copy books? For the maps if I have a PDF I copy the map out of the book and paste it into google slides. I can find the guide to making maps if you need it.


My viewing software wouldn’t let me copy/paste. I tried screenshotting it but it was too small to be useable, especially with a group this size.

And I’d appreciate it, if it’s not too much hassle.

Even if it's small, Google drawings or slides can be used. They have a zoom function so you can focus on on one part of the map. I do that with my Rappan Athuk groups.


I was attempting to use Slides with the screenshots, it just got too blurry. The map is one of those that is setup with 1 square = 10 feet instead of 5 so you need to be able to zoom in really well.

Guide to Making Maps

I use Adobe Acrobat the free version. It works for cutting and pasting for me. I've also used the instructions for getting layers that are in that google doc.

@Ulfr: Vuzi waves at the GM who has managed not to kill her yet while she tries to keep a crazy dwarf and a cat alive.


Okies, Thankies.

Given Magnimar's size and economy it won't be difficult to find a hunting/dungeoneering shop that sells you silvered weapons.


@Saersha, I responded to your spoiler incase you missed it over the holdays.

How big is the table?


Big enough to block you from moving around it, so almost 10ft. It’s looks ancient and brittle, but it’s still providing them cover.

With their setup two of them could fire at you fine but the other two would have to mauever a bit.

Sorry, I’ll get to work on this when I get to work.

If anybody knows anyone that would be wanting and willing to take this over feel free to ask.

No worries!

I think it will be difficult to find a GM who is willing to run a group with the um... themes that some of our characters have going on. (Myself included.) So don't mind my impatience. I like this group, I like the adventure, and I love our delightful demented storyteller. :)


Okay, sorry it takes me so long.

Do you need any help with maps or anything like that?


Maybe? I don’t know, it probably wouldn’t be of much use at this point.

Normally I would be happy to run, but I am already overstretched at this point, having picked up the two extra WotR games that I wasn't expecting to run! I have more than I can keep up with as a GM at the moment. :/


*nods*

I didn’t want to take this one back up, if I’m being honest. But I didn’t want it to crash.


Finally found someone else who had already done a map (and was very nice adn converted the grid into 5x5 instead of 10x10), but it might be too small.

I've only moved Ulfr because A) I can't f++!ing count and the Wererat wasn't 80ft away and B) because he's able to see all the other opponents now, which might change everyone else's actions.

Hey Ulfr, I think there might be a misunderstanding of how Amplified Rage works.

I know we all get the +2 since you'Re a level 2 Skald. Not sure if you’re getting another +2 through a rage power, since that’s blank.

Amplified Rage
Prerequisites: Half-orc or orc, rage class feature.

Benefit: Whenever you are raging and adjacent to a raging ally who also has this feat or flanking the same opponent as a raging ally with this feat, your morale bonuses to Strength and Constitution increase by +4. This feat does not stack with itself (you only gain this bonus from one qualifying ally, regardless of how many are adjacent to you).

Since none of us have this feat we wouldn't gain this bonus, and even if we did, we'd have to be standing adjacent to you or flanking the same person for it to apply. So definitely not +8 (as awesome as that would be at this level), and not sure where the other +2 is coming from.

Ass-traps are... not the greatest!

But we'll beat these tower girls, if it takes both hands! :D

Glad to see that you found a map that worked, DM!


Thanks, can everyone see and move their tokens okay on it?

So, this build is the most cheesey one I've ever played with, and, to be transparent, I did warn Devon before I used it.

So, Raging Song normally provides +2. If I possess another class that grants Rage (bloodrager) I can use those bonuses instead boosting my shared to bonuses to +4. The dash, nay pinch, of cheese come in with my bloodrager Archetype. It grants me Foxy. Foxy is my ally. Foxy also has a certain archetype that grants it all my Teamwork feats (amplified rage). Thus, as long as Foxy and I fight together, my raging song grants +8 to everybody. And +4 fast healing via Skald'd vigor for every round I maintain it after the first.

As I said, a dash of cheese, but oh so delicious.
