EndlessForms |
Dotting. Two characters available. I can't decide who I'd rather play....
DM Kludde |
So just double-checking: is everybody in the range 12-14 that we need for Academy of Secrets?
Cartmanbck suggested the following set of adventures:
Academy of Secrets (12-14)
Tomb of the Iron Medusa (13-15)
The Moonscar (15-17) <--Note there's a jump here
The Witchwar Legacy (16-18)
RotRL Book 6: Spires of Xin-Shalast (16-18)
That seems like a good progression to me (though I wouldn't actually mind running Reign of winter's 'Rasputin must die' as a 13-15 replacement, if only for the title). If you have any other suggestions, let me know.
Endless, or any other GM who has run them: modules are designed with four characters in mind. Do you reckon the challenge level will be too low if we play five or six?
EndlessForms |
Looks like with our suggested progression, you could start a either 13th or 14th level and be able to progress the whole way through. :-D
Yep!

Depends on the module and the group. When I ran them I had a party of six which included a beastly Come-And-Get-Me barbarian and a T-Rex-summoning summoner. Despite that, they still struggled with Tombs of the Iron Medusa. Academy of Secrets was honestly a cakewalk for them and the first half of Moonscar wasn't too challenging either, although the second half did give them a few problems. Can't speak to the Witchwar Legacy yet.
That said, this party is totally different. They were a smash'em'up party with little in the way of finesse and their healing was reliant on the party druid. We might have a different experience. I still think Tombs can be really tough no matter what though, although it is probably my favorite module. Take good notes! The story is cooler if you pay attention to all the hints!

By the way, I think I'll bring my 13.0 dragon disciple. She's a lot of fun. My arcane archer amalgam* is fun too but he was my first character (hence the amalgamation) and is perhaps not as much fun anymore.
*wizard/ranger/samurai/fighter/zen archer/arcane archer
I'll look over my dragon disciple and make sure she's updated.
Glaurung of Anfauglith |
EF's dragon disciple.
Yep, she looks up to date. It's been a long time since I've played her though, I have to remember how....
@GM: can you remove "EndlessForms" from the campaign? Thanks!
DM Kludde |
@EF: done!
@Tektike: What's the ETA of your Eyes of the Ten completion?
Glaurung of Anfauglith |
Cool!
Glaurung is mostly a blaster too (fireball and breath weapon) but given some time to prepare with bull's strength, enlarge person, and maybe mirror image and monstrous physique she can be pretty effective in melee as well.
Pad The Pyro |
A druid, alchemist (or monk) AND three gnome sorcerers in the same party? Heck yes. I still haven't bought a metamagic rod of empower, because my ring of freedom of movement costs so darn much.
Glaurung of Anfauglith |
Just skip it and go for the lesser metamagic rod of maximize like I did! Maximized fireballs!
Nalshene |
So excited to get started on this! I know Kludde is busy so why don't we do some real charcter intros.
Nalshene is normally fairly quiet and reserved for a gnome (which means she's very excitable still in human terms) and she loves to test out new spells on her best friend Narshala. Narshala, for her part, has gotten used to being transformed into other animals, and sometimes revels in the different feelings and senses that she can get while changed.
Nalshene is a full Venture Captain, and already has permission to start a lodge, though she has not decided where to put her physical lodge as of yet. It might end up being a traveling lodge, in the end. She also has a protege' named Kaylee, who is off doing her own Society mischief at the moment, but she checks in on Kaylee's progress from time to time.
DM Kludde |
It shouldn't be too long anymore. I'm in the second-to-last encounter for two games, as soon as one of them finishes I have a slot free to start running. If it's not too early for Tektike (are you running that last EotT as PbP?), we can probably start somewhere next week.
Nalshene |
Oh some more useful info about Nalshene for the other players:
-She loves to cast Threatening illusion spells to give her allies flanking (Rogue's best friend!)
-She wears a pair of first aid gloves, so if anyone goes down in combat she will do her very best to get there in time to bring them back to life.
For Kludde: Nalshene is going to buy two scrolls of invigorating repose for 1125gp each so that, if she does NOT make it to her ally within one round, she can cast that and THEN breath of life from her first aid glvoes. She'll also pick up a Minor Rod of Quicken metamagic for 31,500gp (using her boon that lets her buy 1 item per scenario at 10% cheaper than normal) and a Minor Rod of Umbral metamagic for 9,000gp (essentially making her broke, LOL)
DM Kludde |
Great! In case, I'll put up the first gameplay post tomorrow...
Nalshene |
This party is going to be SO much fun. You all are going to transform into crazy-ass things and I'll be tossing up threatening images to flank with all of you while my dino helps you wreck face and Pad tosses in fireball after fireball. :-D

Shinkeer Aswander |
Sorry for the delayed response. Traveling out if town this weekend. Can't edit map atm, posting from mobile
I meant to post an icon yesterday, but become a little pressed for time with travel preparations.

To save time down the line. Any perception check that is 40 or below, Amsheagar will take 10 and tell the rest of the group.. unless he is in animal form. In which case, they are on their own.

No Wild Speech feat? That's one of my favorites for druids! :-P
Amsheagar |
I went for spell casting while a druid. :3
Nalshene |
My wife and I are in the process of moving into a new house, and today and tomorrow are our big moving days, so I won't be posting much until Sunday evening or even Monday morning. This'll probably be my last post until at least Sunday morning.
Glaurung of Anfauglith |
I also might be slow this weekend, as my brother and sister-in-law are in town visiting.
Amsheagar |
sorry for the afk... wasn't getting pinged about this game.
DM Kludde |
We're near to the end of this module. Can I have the following for everyone:

Guys, want to say sorry if i held up the game. I didn't want to influence it too much... Once we reached the underworld, i realized that i played this scenario on a different character several years ago.
DM Kludde |
Aren't travel delays nice? This one gave me the opportunity to prepare some chronicles ahead of schedule:
Please check if they are all correct, as the train was shaking a bit :)
Nalshene |
Sorry, I forgot to mention I have the Prosperity boon so I can get more from my day job than the max 150gp. With a 57 I think I get 300gp.
Also, Yay I can now ass Professor to Nalshene's title list! :-D
Nalshene |
Nalshene is all updated at level 15 and ready to continue on into the TOMB OF THE IRON MEDUSA!! :-D
She bought only two items: a Page of Spell Knowledge level 6 (leashed shackles) and a scarlet and blue ioun stone (giving her +2 Intelligence)
Her new feat is Spell Perfection (shadow evocation) which will allow her to Quicken every cast of that spell for free (still taking up just a 5th level slot). :-DDDDDDDDD SO MUCH HAPPY
Pad The Pyro |
Purchases: Orange Prism Ioun Stone (30k gp) and a Lesser Metamagic Rod of Empower (14k gp).
Spell exchange at 14th level: Heightened Awareness for Burning Hands
New 7th level spell: Prismatic Spray
Glaurung of Anfauglith |
Ok, I think Glaurung is mostly updated too.
Shinkeer Aswander |
I won't be able to update Shin until tomorrow evening, as we are visiting family for Mother's Day.
DM Kludde |
There's no hurry, I still need to get the .pdf, so it might be a couple of days. I'll move as fast as I can.
