The Darkness Below Maure Castle....
Game Master Lord Thasmudyan

I thinks he will wish you could

Wouldn't my shield get a saving throw or something? Its a +6 item which is above averagely strong.

in this situation no, sorry :(

Moving the discussion over here: My post states that Pendin stops himself from going in to grab Malcolm and instead looks back and questions the magical type people about the room.

Hey Nex, Luca can tap you with the wand next round, but I should be able to get myself, Malcom, and his ruined shield out next round with my dimensional steps ability. Maybe drop your gear before you come in though so you don't have to sacrifice anything.

I think the cleric spell make whole could restore the armor bonus on Malcom's shields, if not the weapon enhancements. At the very least, we could get him some kind of weapon. I don't want to quit this dungeon, but we could probably seal it up with walls of stone and force, stoneshape and permanency and come back with some consumables and maybe put together a battle plan. What do you all think? And maybe we could replace some of the players who have dropped off.

I am okay with you guys leaving the dungeon and coming back but you will need to do something about the door. As to getting a few more people that fine by me I can reopen recruitment. We need to get an idea of who all has dropped out. Gelix and Zaldane are for sure as one has stated as much the other doesn't post very much if at all. Drake is still posting, malcom chirinide and yourself continue to post as well. Pendin has been slight quiet but not as bad as Nex and Gelix.

As to the shields and the belt short of a Wish spell which I would have to even check if it would work they are not going to be fixable.

I'm good with going back to town and returning :) I'd never heard of Maure Castle before but daaaaaang!

I have been a bit quiet, due to some RL tragedies, but I'm a little more settled back into the regular swing of things and will be contributing more again.

how many people have we lost?
I am open either way on what we are doing, I could careless. Drake is got his means and it would be helpful for him to gain another magic item or two from Chirinide that she said she will make for me.

I hope Malcom's actions aren't bringing the party down. I kind of feel like my RP is forcing the adventure to get dragged into a different direction than some of you might want. I kind of designed him to be the big reckless and dumb fighter that his is. I'm having a lot of fun with it too. Chirinide kind of said it best:

How is this guy alive today? How? I guess he had some really great people looking after him.

Which is kind of what I was going for. If it's getting too much for anybody than I can change Malcom's character a bit.

What I'm trying to say is that we don't need to leave the dungeon if you guys don't want to. The wooden shields can get me by in the meantime. The other factor is that I don't have the money to replace the Shields either. I have 2645GP which can buy some new non-magical ones but is not enough to buy the magic needed to restore them. I could maybe take out a loan if the DM permitted? Thats just what happens when you put all your eggs into one basket. I bought 3 really big magic items rather than many smaller ones. I though the outcome was kind of funny in a way, and can gladly figure something out along our path if you don't want to go back.

I just don't want this situation to be a thorn in everyone's side.

Malcom I do not think that it is you that is doing it. Trust me, I am not sure why this is happeneing but your not the cause buddy

Just to confirm I'll be dropping out of this game. As much fun as it is, I am regretfully unable to keep up. It was great playing with you, thanks.

No worries Gelik I kinda figured since you haven't post too much but thanks for the heads up.

Malcom don't sweat it, the module is killer even though you haven't really dealt with the baddest of the bad it meant to kinda 'f' the player a bit here and there the room you went into was one of the more f'd rooms in the dungeon. I think you are doing great, I leave it up to the party though if you guys would like you can leave the dungeon recruit some new "cannon fodder" I mean party members :) and then come back as to loans.....well just realize there are always loan sharks in the world and mayhaps a deal could be struck but if you can't pay up the guy might have to make you sleep with the fishes....

hmm who knows.. Lord. how are thing going sir?

my vote is for whatever the party is going to do. I am not picky here.

Great, tonight I get to attempt to kill my RL party that is trying their hand at Slumbering Tsar muhahahahahahahahah!!!!! whats funny is I have been going kinda easy on them not a person killed yet....but they still think I have it out to get them not sure why -whistles innocently- I have only poisoned, burned and nearly killed the whole party on several occasions :) But isn't that my job as a DM anyways :)

As to this game I think its going just fine.

Good, I am surprised to be the other game as well, I wasn't thinking that I would get picked.

you were a shoe in dude, one of the first to post a character too, sides yours is probably one of the most original and off the wall at the same time

so question for the group looking at the group, you guys seem to be down to 4, and have no cleric...would you like me to open recruitment open for 2 players one willing to play a cleric?

I think a cleric and a ranged attacker would be pretty helpful.

I would be all for a cleric and someone who can hit further than 5 ft!

lol will do, I will post the request in for the two players

Now wishing I had taken leadership, though how to fit that with my character would require some creativity(ooh, did I just challenge myself?)

Hey now I have a shortbow that I have been using didn't you see me decapate that undead thing?

Lord T I will say this here then the other tred becase it is best just you know
I was plan on them not know I was a kitsune but I forgot to mention it at the start now it is too late also I was thinking about switching up some of my spells because I do not have my spell list correct I will post an updated list later tonight

It is not to late, they don't know I am a weretigress yet, and things will be fun before they do. or did you post wrong thread?

edit; I am guessing the latter but I doubt it is too late anyway.

yeah I wasnt sure Ayaki/Drake whether you were disgused that why I didn't say anything either...as to the spells go for it it is still early enough its not a big deal

Weird alert, It took me a second to realize you both are in the other game lol.

Yeah i am running another game set in Ptolus and he jumped in it :)

My pic was of a human but I needed to put kits unle I order to have the Alais I tried bard and it did not work either

Lol maybe this sort of thing should go in private messages. Otherwise we'll have no choice but to expose your secrets!

hehehe I didn't do it blame drake :P

So is the recuriting back up?

yep I have to look at it haven't looked since friday cause I gamed rl and was busy all yesterday

so i got two new players for us....one is playing a zen archer the other a cleric/monk

Cool beans. Should we press on and you'll bring them in somehow? Also, what about the party members that disappeared? Are they gone, or can we Greyhawk their corpses?

I'm down for pressing on...going back to town...or just waiting (although that's my least preferable choice). This place kind of has me scared enough to want more players but excited enough to want to press on.

greyhawk there corpses?

Thats up to you about the pressing on if you want to just press on I can introduce them

Just shorthand my old group in Chicago used to use for 'take anything even remotely valuable from' I don't know why they used greyhawk, and never thought to ask...

Hey guys, Im the new Zen Archer Monk. Just checking in. Pendin, you, me and the new cleric all worship Irori, maybe we all came from the same monastery?

Welcome!! I've always wanted to see a Zen Archer in action before I make one!

Sounds good to me, although I've tied Pendin's backstory to another Monk of mine (who hunts Fey). I'm OK with retcon'ing some of my backstory to make it one of the masters who tried to espouse those ideals.

Sounds good to me too, make it easier to bring them in...on a side note I have quite a bit of homework tonight so I will not be posting the next bit of the game/intro for the new guys till tomorrow. :(

Aaaaaand I've updated my profile to make the monastery more accessible (i.e. One master secretly teaching the stupider of us) :)

Welcome Flynn! Glad to have you with us!

Hey guys, Im the new Zen Archer Monk. Just checking in.

Well I guess I'm no longer the damage dealer in the party.

I think between the 2 of you, we'll be able to cover long and short range!

Spike damage here

That's right! Drake will be absolutely killing with sneak attack dmg!

Not if I kill them first, of course I need to get over the whole playing with my prey thing, but there's no cure for that quite like competition.

Cool beans. Should we press on and you'll bring them in somehow? Also, what about the party members that disappeared? Are they gone, or can we Greyhawk their corpses?

to your previous question...no greyhawking the corpses it would unbalance the game you would have too much per person at this level far beyond the expected wealth trust me there will be creatures you can greyhawk later :)

Just wait till I start neck breakin!
