Due to a pending medical procedure, I'll likely be offline Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm hoping to be back by Thursday afternoon. Please bot Bat a bit as needed.

Can I would suggest we have a standard order of actions for a door. Like detect evil, take 20 traps, we position behind the big guy, and fezzik opens door? Then let GM resolve all of those actions? And if we need a “standard way to go” at intersections, pick something like “always go right/left”?

Otherwise, these doors are killing our momentum!


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

I was pretty much assuming this was the case, but you gotta agree on which way to go next.

Some parts of this level are abandoned, some aren't, so not every room will be super-interesting.


Character Sheet High Elf Order of Scribes Wizard 6 | HP 21/32 | AC 13 (16 - Mage Armor) | Initiative +3 | Passive Perception 14| Saves: Str -1, Dex +3, Con +1, Int +7, Wis +4, Cha +0 | Conditions: None | Spell Slots: 1st - 3/4, 2nd - 1/3, 3rd - 2/3

Perhaps we could adopt a standard procedure for this part of things?

Something like...

1. Enter an area (assuming no encounter)
2. SK Scan for evil
3. Search/open any doors for traps/locks (taking 20 as needed), starting with closest and proceeding around clockwise as needed.

I'm good with Avendryl's suggestion. Maybe we could also have Bat or Tronar cast detect magic as well as Step 4.


Male Dragon - AC: 18 (16 TCH, 14 FF); SR: 13; Init: +5; CMB: +4 CMD: 14; F:+4 R:+6 W:+5; HP:22/22; Perception +8; (60’ Darkvision)

Or me?


Female Human Cleric 3 (Pelor) | hp 24/24 | AC 20, t 12, ff 18 | Fort +5, Ref +4, Will +6 | Init +2 | Perc +2 | Channel Pos. 5/7 | Touch of Glory 5/5 | PoP 1/1

Or him!
Better yet, maybe we should add Step 5: Zinnath acts as lookout while everyone else does their thing.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Dragons make great lookouts! It's a side effect of being so scary!

I had suggested such earlier.

But someone should also scan for magic.

I will be camping this weekend, back late Monday.

And I'll be offline both Sunday and Monday due to the holiday.

For our standard operating procedures, you can put me down as the detect magic person.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Kinda lost track of the week there. *embarrassed face*

I'm on my phone so can't see map. What are my options? Can I attack an ogre from where I am?


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Yes, you have reach, you can trade blows with the ogre who swung at you.

Due to an impending medical procedure, I'll likely be unable to post from Sunday - Tuesday. I should be back on Wednesday. Please bot my PC as needed.

State holiday (Patriots' Day) on Monday, so I'll be offline until Tuesday. Please bot my character as necessary.


Female Human Cleric 3 (Pelor) | hp 24/24 | AC 20, t 12, ff 18 | Fort +5, Ref +4, Will +6 | Init +2 | Perc +2 | Channel Pos. 5/7 | Touch of Glory 5/5 | PoP 1/1

Bat has no real opinion on what to have the hirelings do, so I'll let other folks decide that.

Does anyone need weapons or armor upgraded via masterwork transformation?


Male Dragon - AC: 18 (16 TCH, 14 FF); SR: 13; Init: +5; CMB: +4 CMD: 14; F:+4 R:+6 W:+5; HP:22/22; Perception +8; (60’ Darkvision)

I need my mount transformed!


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Well someone needs to make a decision. Otherwise I'll just rush you back down the stairs and leave your sub-minions at home. :)

Silver Crusade

Male Human Paladin 2/Bloodrager 1 (AC: 23 [T: 23 FF: 10] | HP: 31/31 (0NL) F+9, R+3, W+5) | Init: +1 |Perc: +7) Bloodrage: 6/6 LoH: 3/3

Yeah, could use longsword masterworked...


Female Human Cleric 3 (Pelor) | hp 24/24 | AC 20, t 12, ff 18 | Fort +5, Ref +4, Will +6 | Init +2 | Perc +2 | Channel Pos. 5/7 | Touch of Glory 5/5 | PoP 1/1

OK, let's assume Bat MTs Domeric's longsword and Fezzik's breastplate (300 gp + 150 gp or more...Large items cost more to make masterwork?).

Looking at the Swag Bag, we've got lots of gold. Also, what's the status on items ordered from Verbobonc? It seems like that was done a long time ago but it may be just a few days in-game.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

They'll be in Hommlet in another 2 game days. You can then either go get them or have them shipped to Nulb (and hope the caravan isn't robbed - another potential great job for your henches).

Masterwork quality does not have its cost changed for larger or smaller items.


Lg Half-Ogre Fighter 3 HP 34/34 | AC 17 T 11 FF 15 | F +7 R +4 W +5 | CMB +8 CMD 19 | Speed 30ft Init +4 Perc +4 Darkvision 60'

How about we send them to protect the workers at the moathouse. Then they can bring the items from Verbobonc. Or if we are really worried about the items, we can go get them.

I need to update the swag bag. I'm assuming we didn't bring all the mundane equipment from the last encounter up. Let me know if otherwise.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Totally depends on how much you wanna haul around. If you decide to carry a bunch of mundane armor and weapons, that's up to you. It's not like encumbrance is a big problem for Fezzik.

Also, good way to arm up your henchthings without spending cash.


Female Human Cleric 3 (Pelor) | hp 24/24 | AC 20, t 12, ff 18 | Fort +5, Ref +4, Will +6 | Init +2 | Perc +2 | Channel Pos. 5/7 | Touch of Glory 5/5 | PoP 1/1

How about we say Fezzik carried some of the mundane gear to the moathouse for the mercenaries on repair/watch duty there and brought the rest back to Hommlet?

Also, how about we hang around Hommlet until the delivery from Verbobonc comes in, update our character sheets, and then return to the door to room 126 like Tronar suggested in the Gameplay Thread?


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Suits me fine. Any opposition? Let's get movin' again.


Male Dragon - AC: 18 (16 TCH, 14 FF); SR: 13; Init: +5; CMB: +4 CMD: 14; F:+4 R:+6 W:+5; HP:22/22; Perception +8; (60’ Darkvision)

Yeah! Let's get movin'


Character Sheet High Elf Order of Scribes Wizard 6 | HP 21/32 | AC 13 (16 - Mage Armor) | Initiative +3 | Passive Perception 14| Saves: Str -1, Dex +3, Con +1, Int +7, Wis +4, Cha +0 | Conditions: None | Spell Slots: 1st - 3/4, 2nd - 1/3, 3rd - 2/3

Works for me.


Male Dragon - AC: 18 (16 TCH, 14 FF); SR: 13; Init: +5; CMB: +4 CMD: 14; F:+4 R:+6 W:+5; HP:22/22; Perception +8; (60’ Darkvision)

Just a quick FYI. I’m taking Cub Scouts camping this weekend, so don’t expect much from me until Sunday evening.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

My job switched to overtime mode this week, AND I have a dance recital this weekend. It is entirely possible that I may die from the dance recital. If I stop posting, assume that my heart gave out.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

I didn't die in the recital, but I am still in overtime. That will probably last for a month.

Good to hear.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

One more week of overtime!

I apologize about my posting rate. Was swamped at work and now am on vacation for the next week. Bot me as needed.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

We just shipped my expansion, so after I do a little post-ship cleanup, my overtime should drop off!

Expansion?


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

This is what was killing me with overtime.

Looks good!

So.... Did any of your bosses give you an assignment and then say, "Make it so!"? :D


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

It happens less than you'd think!


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Finished crunch and then immediately went to more crunch on the next project. Some weeks you can't win!

I wanted to let you know that Saturday morning we're heading off for vacation, a cruise to Bermuda out of New Jersey. I should be back online Thursday.

Nice! Enjoy yourself.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

My team wound up going crunch-to-crunch. We finished our release but I have a post-release piece coming this week, and then we have to crunch to a new release coming in a few months. :/

I am still here, just been doing a loooot of overtime.

Sorry for my absence too. Trying to catch up.

Hey all, ok, tomorrow morning I go away for another week. Do with me as you need, in order to keep things moving.


Female Human Cleric 3 (Pelor) | hp 24/24 | AC 20, t 12, ff 18 | Fort +5, Ref +4, Will +6 | Init +2 | Perc +2 | Channel Pos. 5/7 | Touch of Glory 5/5 | PoP 1/1

Have fun, Zinnath. We'll watch over you.

*Digs out pink ribbons and sparkles*

@DM Jesse: Is right on the map East? I have a vague memory of that NOT being the case on one map, but that may have been the moathouse.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

This map is correct.

The moathouse map in the module is upside down; I fixed it for our online version.


Campaign maps: Jade Regent | Kingmaker | The Temple of Elemental Evil

Just so everyone knows, I caught a really bad cold, and just fought that off; but I also have something going wrong in my guts that the doctors haven't figured out, which is why I've been a little off lately. I'll keep folks posted as the situation develops. Hopefully I won't be off to surgery or dying or anything awful. (Posting this note to all the games I run.)
