Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 2) + 4 = 9

"Aye," Alexia says, assisting in tying the prisoners. "I suppose they must stand trial for their crimes. Were it my decision, I would end their miserable existence now."

"I think they will be harshly treated by their kin-folk as it stands. Now lets get that lorestone out of here and back to safety!"

Targost will also quickly search the bodies of Cyflymber and the dark gnomes.
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Targost searches the body of Cyflymber and finds the lorestone and is able to get it out of the circle before the rays of the sun hit about half a minute later.

The party travels back to Absalom’s Grand Lodge where the lorestone is added to the collection—although unlocking its mysteries will consume many years (at best).

Defeating Cyflymder’s gang removes a minor menace from the Verduran Forest, allowing local, peaceful druidic activity to resume. But, as explorers push ever deeper into the dark groves, friction is bound to flare up again.

Congratulations! You successfully completed the adventure!

Yay!!

Thanks for GMing for us Auke. So now what?? Anyone going to be running something else?

See Discussion thread! :-)

Subtier 4–5 should be doable by you all.

I'm actually about to start this scenario with another character. Might need a couple days to make sure that game is still happening, but I probably can't do this one. Sorry.

Hi all,

Sorry I haven't posted. I have been having some back problems that have cut into my sleep and well-being and so I haven't been online for awhile.

I am afraid that I, too, am going to have to pull the all-too-common disappearing act, at least for the time being, and take a break from the games. :(

Hopefully, I'll see you again online, but feel free to recruit a replacement.

Thanks,

~~ Matt

Matt, sorry to hear about your back. Hope it will get better soon!

Talwin probably won't join.
Norine can't join due to health reasons.
Haven't heard anything from Liadain yet.

Feel free to ask other people in the 3-5 level range to join. We'll apply a first come, first serve policy!

Sorry to hear about your back Matt. I hope it gets better soon!

Yeah, Tide of Morning is what my other character just started, so I'll have to skip this one. But please keep me in the loop for the next game, as I'm not planning to disappear altogether! If one of you would PM me at that point, I'd be grateful. Thanks guys, and have a great game!

Hi everyone,

I would really like to keep things rolling. I actually set my alarmclock in the middle of the night to be able to keep timezone interference to a minimum.

If everyone would post someting at least once a day that would be great! :-)

If it's during combat and it's not your turn yet and you're not flat footed, you are allowed to speak. If your initiavtive isn't up yet, you can still post your intentions with a "when it's my turn, I'd like to do" or a PM.

Cheers!

Auke

As Gabriel doesn't seem to play I'm kicking him off the team and replacing him with a official pregen.

Just a quick shout out to everyone! Looks like you've made it nearly to the end. Talwin just made it through Trial by Machine.

Anyway, like I said awhile ago, I'm still around and would love to jump back in with the old gang, so keep me posted!

Ok, we finished Tide of Morning!

If you got a crew, with at least four players that are willing to post once a day ;-), I'm willing to run another one!

Update the sheet! :-)

Well I am willing and ready!! Targost is now just beginning to grow into his own powers!! Having lots of fun! Will update sheet...what adventure were you thinking of running Auke? And would greatly welcome you back Talwin!

Tide of Twilight would be nice to play after Tide of Morning :-)

Tide of Twilight is a neat game. I have played and GMed it before, though.

I am saving my GM star replay, but I am allowed to replay for no credit as a fourth person to make the table.

Also willing to play something else!

Need to get my sheet updated too. GM credit from weekend puts me at 4th level.

I'll hold off on this one, much as I would like to play. I can't guarantee being able to post on weekends is the problem.

I'm in, but Ebon is only 3rd. Willing to play up though...

Well, let's find an adventure no-one has played yet.:-)

And Alexia, if you canm guarantee the other 5 days and don't mind being ghosted some of the time, I'll gladly have you in the party! :-)

I can manage at least one move a day during the week. It's my weekends that get crowded.

There are a lot of games in the 1-5 and 3-7 tiers I haven't played.

Scars of the Third Crusade sounds interesting.

I did Seige of the Diamond City with Talwin, so Traitors Lodge would fit for him, although I am GMing it currently.

But I have missed a fair amount of early season stuff too.

Please update the sheet!

What about:

Thornkeep - The Forgotten laboratory

It's a decent module and would fit the playstyle of the group quite well.

Pretty much open to any game as I have not played too many of them...

Oooh, Thornkeep.

I'd be OK with Thornkeep. I'll update the spreadsheet when I have access to a non work computer. Phone and tablet won't work.

Ok, I'll set up the game and we'll start Monday October 20th!

I think the group as is would be good for Thornkeep - The Forgotten Laboratory.

Sounds exciting! Looking forward to it!

Sounds good!
