Notes to GM: Not really much to explain, here. Swarmbane clasp, minor bonuses in cold conditions. I have a selection of magic arrows from a chronicle or two, one of which notes that it is a rules exception (+1 disruption arrow).
I also have some "between scenario purchases" to bill on this upcoming chronicle, if you want those.

Hey guys, there's been a work emergency, I'm traveling to field and likely won't be able to give an update for 2 days, sorry to keep you waiting!
Warpac |
I added the remaining inits and perception values.

'Turning into an angry dinosaur' is quite high on the list of 'aggressive actions.'
They never choose the easy way.
GM Batpony |
if you'd spend a standard action to diplomacy, maybe it would! :P However given this guy is on the edge of hostility, it'll take a lot of diplomacies!
'Zero' |
I've got a busy night tonight and a busy day tomorrow, so this upcoming post may be short. If my turn comes up again, feel free to bot me. (there's nothing special about combat for me. Single shots.)
'Zero' |
Final Exams are done, graded, posted, and the semester is over. I should be good to go, now, save for a couple of days around Christmas.
Jorah |
Just a heads up that posting may be spotty over the next week. My wife is set to be induced on Thursday which means I'll be at the hospital for a couple days. There is a chance I'll be sitting there in the hospital for a long time though, so I may get a post or two in. But after that, I'm sure we will have our hands full with the newborn. And of course it's the holiday weekend so everyone will be pretty busy anyways.
Phantomblade |
I got 3 myself congrats and good luck

Seems, I didn't wish folks here! But Merry Xmas and happy holidays! No worries, I figured it would slow down over the xmas/new year stretch.
'Zero' |
I will be taking a vacation over New Year's (Dec 30 to Jan 5). I expect to be able to make minor updates via my phone (perhaps sacrificing detail to keep the game moving), but figure full disclosure is ideal.
Apologies in advance.
Warpac |
I get the error 'file is in owners trash' when visiting the handout link.
Phantomblade |
Phone broke and going to field so I can't post for few days. I will have jorah bot me as needed if I can't post

Am back, was having problems with the site on my Sunday, but will get an update after work today.
Phantomblade |
So just a discussion to give you why i rule opposite. You can have 2 people who know a subject really well and 1 of them forgets or doesnt recall how to do something or information about something until the 2 person says a key word. Even if the 2 person doesn't know that part of the subject, he may say a key word that jogs the memory of the 1 person.

Lime to clear a bit of stuff up to give you guys a bit of closure on what happened now that the rabbit's out of the bag.
There were a couple times you could have thought Jaohd's behaviour was off, and sense motive for it. Examples are the time was when he only spoke celestial, or when he limped but started walking normally, minimal combat help, or if you asked enough questions before travel you'd know that the sword you found is his favourite sword, highlighting it to him would have made him done something stupid, etc
Warpac did point out an unpaladin like behavopir so i made him roll sense motive in secret, at first the sense motive check was DC26, hence why even Jorah didn't suspect it the first time, intimidating him cause him to panic and reduced the sense motive by 5. Detect evil twice didn't work on him as he has a feat that allows him a will save to potentially hide his true alignment. And that's it! Now Jorah cast a spell that gave the real Paladin a will save against the undead evil, which he luckily passed!

truth be told, i like this twist :D
Warpac |
Me too.

Thinking out loud here, should we just skip combat? The magic circle will at this point not be broken by any of the creatures, and seems like you guys get a free ride to victory. don't see any real cake to play out combat. What are your thoughts?
'Zero' |
Are they mindless? If so, then yeah. If they are intelligent, I don't see why the wouldn't just flee- -invalidated tactics and all.
That said, it's no skin off me to skip this and press on.
Jorah |
It only prevents summoned evil creatures from entering. Unless they were all summoned, it shouldn't prevent them from attacking as normal. Really, all the magic circle against evil does, is provide everyone within the radius Protection from Evil, as the spell, and it moves with whoever it was cast on. Evil creatures can still move within the circle, except for summoned ones.
GM Batpony |
You're right, I had missed the word "summoned", looks like battle shall continue!
Kor'sarro Khan |
Thank you for running this! When I told ppl I played Halls with they told me I would be in for a rough ride... Guess we had a damn good party that complimented each other.
Thanks for the good game people! I enjoyed it!
Jorah |
Thanks a lot for running this for me , I appreciate it. Maybe I can talk you into running the sequel when it comes out next month!
I had heard this could be a rough scenario, but we had plenty of divine characters that took easily mopped the floor with undead.

What lvl is the sequel going to be? do you know Jorah?
Kor'sarro Khan |
The next scenario will be 5-9 it looks like, and is expected to come out towards the end of February. HERE's the page for it.
Welp.. I am up for it, will be back from the states then (might see if I can get a game in to have this char hit lvl 8
GM Batpony |
More than happy to have hosted this, and will be happy to host the next one too! I'll keep my calendar free for that.
This is by far my favorite scenario to run! You guys seemingly hit all the right notes with this combination, well done! It could have been very messy had you not discovered the possession or fail most saves.
I did forget though, one of you should have been fatigued the whole scenario after the dancing.
