Thanks!
Did we make it to camp? Or have to camp again?
If I've got these distances right, you'll probably be able to camp right about the time you get to the lake. It's a fresh water source, provides a natural barrier, and is the edge of patrols for the town.
Question for Lodric:
So, Lodric as an aasimar has an angelic guide. As a celestial warlock, he has a celestial patron.
For LODRIC, are these the same, or separate, and how do you see them being manifested in the game?
So, you could have a deva as an angelic guide who sends whispers and dreams as guidance, and who has lent you power: pact/guide the same
OR
you could have a deva who is your angelic guide who sends whispers and dreams as guidance, and a SEPARATE patron, who is a kirin or unicorn or other appropriate creature, who grants you power and also offers you (sometimes conflicting) advice: pact/guide different.
Do you have a preference or an identity in mind for these figures in Lodric's life?
As I see it, his angelic guide and celestial warlock patron are one in the same. He receives whispers and dreams as guidance, and has been lent power.
Otherwise, it could get confusing. Too many voices in one's head makes you crazy. ;)
If I seem distracted it's because I have a book release today and Amazon has decided to bury my book in the adult dungeon. While it is a romance, it is NOT in any way anything that you'd expect to get stuck in their prison for words. So I've been going a little crazy trying to get it out, because it's release day. And no one can get to my book.
le sigh.
Anyway. I'll post something tonight, I'm just busy writing another email to customer service and trying not to threaten bodily harm to someone.
No problem. Do your thing. Thanks for the heads up.
Situation with my book is resolved... I think. Sorry about that. It's a harrowing thing to have your release date toyed with.
Anyway, back into the action!
Excellent. Congrats on the release.
Yeah. Congrats! I hope to write a book one day too.
Does anyone recognize anyone at the PC meetup?
The townsfolk should recognize Hansyn. I read back and it looks like met in game briefly right befor you went to Venssa’s burrow.

Hansyn would know everyone. Fin and Cole have met him briefly, and he frequents the Seven Silvers to avoid Moltus, so he'd know Aldelenna as well. Rankev is obviously his half-brother.
Lodric... probably not. Maybe Aldelenna. He has BEEN to Kassen, and presumably, while he is often on business with his father (ostensibly to learn the family business) Kassen is home. But his character history suggests that he spends a lot of time away... so much that Kassen is very nearly foreign to him except for a few childhood memories.
This wrap down time for the first adventure has taken longer than expected, for which I apologize. But we should have it wrapped up soon and then we'll shift to the new thread hopefully by next week.
Finlogan is not in a very receptive mood at the moment to be interested in newcomers. He is focused on his mission, which is still not over, because they still must deliver the Everflame and escort the townsfolk home.
He's still a bit emotionally shell-shocked about the whole experience. He hasn't really dealt with the death and the undeath emotionally choosing to cover it up with bravado and focus on the mission. So, he is more emotionally closed than normal.
So, his social strategy is to ignore these two new characters. Nothing personal or anti-social.
cheers
It’s cool Finn. Hansyns cockyness is going to rub people the wrong way initially. Nothing wrong with a little drama as long as we keep in mind we all still want to play together lol.
Just a quick question...are we 2nd or 3rd level? For some reason, I thought we levelled up, but for the life of me, I cannot remember! Thanks!
This is a fair question. You were level two, but the original group (Finlogan, Cole, Venssa, Aldelenna, Rankev) will level to three when they return with the everflame (this includes Venssa, who has returned to the burrow).
Hansyn and Lodric were already level three, as they were made to participate in part two of the adventure.
Ah, ok...just thought I was confused!! Venssa is heading over to the town as we speak, but she might be a day ahead of the others...not sure...
If Hansyn is coming off as too much of a little s~!%, let me know. I do want him to eventually be able to meld with the group. Any ideas you guys have for that just let me know.
My apologies for the delays in posting... this is my hell week (it's graduation at the college I work for), and I've had less time than I expected. Posting should, I hope, return to normal. And with everyone getting back to town, that means finally getting started with the next adventure! We'll transition to the new thread very soon.
I'm starting a week long business trip today returning Saturday. My posting will be irregular and opportunistic. Please bot me as necessary.
thanks
from gameplay thread - I have found that I have to go to some national guard mandatory fun in June. From the 3rd to the 23rd I’ll have limited internet connectivity. While I’ll finally learn how to use an m249 light machine gun...it’ll limit my posting. My apologies in advance.
Greycastle: Yuck. That sounds distinctly unfun. Post as you can.
Sorry for posting that in gameplay...meant for it to be here. And thank you!
Should we start leveling? I've time this weekend
Still here..just waiting for the next day to arrive....
All players from the original group: Fin, Venssa, Cole, and Aldelenna should now level to 3rd.
You have two days in town before the meeting... this means Venssa can arrive, and players are free to decide what they want their players to do. There is an air of celebration, trepidation, and urgency in the waiting, but at the same time, you all know you'll learn nothing more before the meeting.
This also counts as downtime, so if there is a downtime task you wish to work on, please feel free to put that in the gameplay thread also.
At the conclusion of the two days I will put a direction pointing to the new thread and we will start up with the Masks of the Living God, of which this meeting is essentially scene 1.
Cole leveled to Third.
Added:
Monster Slayer Archetype
Monster Slayer's Magic
Hunter's Sense
Slayer's Prey
Primeval Awareness
Spells: Zephyr Strike and Protection From Good and Evil
Fighter Eldritch Knight
Cantrips = green flame blade & mage hand
1st level = Absorb Elements, Magic Missile & Shield
Weapon Bond = longsword & longbow
Excellent, excellent! I will, no doubt, have time today to level up Aldelenna and get her updated materials posted into her alias today. Looking forward to our investigation into the mask of the living god. :)
Not much new for Venssa...just HP and a circle new spell slot. Will update asap

2nd lvl spells though. Good stuff there.

Woot! College of Lore grants proficiency in three new skills, so you'll see her skills are quite a bit different now. I took Expertise (also a gift at third level) with Perception and Insight, since Aldelenna is going to, hopefully, be a strong part of the social interactions moving forward, and her Perception was just bothering me! So that gives her a new Passive Perception of 14 instead of 10. She also got the ability Cutting Words, which you can read about on the linked Abilities sheet in her profile. All that and she got to learn one new spell; I took Charm Person, because she should have had that one already. :D She also got one more 1st level spell slot, and two second level spell slots. I didn't take a second level spell because a few of her spells benefit from being cast out of a higher slot. :) GM Koldoon, please look things over and let me know if anything looks wonky. As always I did everything in Hero Lab.
I will take a look this weekend.
Please note as you wrap up your role playing interactions that the initial post for Mask of the Living God should go up tomorrow, so if you have any role playing posts you want to get through before the meeting with Cygar and Holgast, please let me know or get them going in the game thread.
We will now continue the adventure in Masks of the Living God
Please post new discussion posts in the discussion forum for that adventure.
Also as a note, please remember that Greycastle (Lodric) is going to only be sporadically available to post until the 23rd. Bear this in mind if you have a roleplay post that involves him directly.
See you in the new thread!
If you could be so kind as to please mark this campaign as complete, I would appreciate it.
