I had forgotten about the extra two skill points, thanks Shal. Im pretty sure thats right from the players guide.

Wont be able to add up loot til this evening and still have to redress spell list.

Oh dear... well there's a lot of innuendo that can be thrown around regarding swords, weeping bodily fluids... etcetera, but in the interest of keeping this thread PG14, I don't think I'll attempt one.

Malak, if you want any equipment, ask. You will not be allowed to leave the manor and go shopping, but they have warlike stores on site or may be able to send for stuff that they haven't got.

I hope I haven't driven our other players away. It could just be the holidays too. December seems to be a month of awayity for most people.

I'm still around, just haven't come up with a good way to interject yet.

Megan, hope you're not swamped with work, or the holidays. It's one thing to be swamped by work, another to be swamped by something that's supposedly fun.

Not really... back job hunting again :(

My apologies. Had a rough week and Im dog sitting for soemeone that has no internet. I'll get a post up today though.

Happy Christmas from the DM... and thank you for playing with me.

Happy Christmas, Megan. Hopefully in a few days we'll be back to our normal gaming selves.

Merry Christmas all.

Happy holidays everyone!

Given the nature of the party, I shall be making quite a lot of use of the 'spoiler' function... leaving each character to decide what they wish to share with the rest of the party.

If a spoiler is not addressed to you, please do not read it.

Megan, would you consider allowing Shalastar a cohort before he gets the Leadership feat? Possibly around 4th level or so. I actually have a character in mind (another character I had developed for a WOTW game that fell through the cracks), and it would make it so much easier to keep the game flowing and my player options open (particularly if I can control at least one character with an above average intelligence/wisdom).

I will consider anything...

Provided we are somewhere appropriate for Shalastar to recruit his minion at the right time... :)

@ Shal & Megan - there is the new Squire Feat that would probably work perfect.

Ah, it won't work in this case. The person in question is a fire elementalist/kineticist. (2nd level) :P

Huh, I never noticed the post with the room clue until now. I had no idea what Shalastar's comment about icy derision was going on about.

Well played!

Sorry I couldn't help out more than I wanted to. Shalastar has very low mental stats, so I'm trying not to play him as a genius/strategist the way I often would with wizards, rogues, and fighters.

No need to apologize for role playing Shal.

You all seem to be portraying your characters very well.. I'm enjoying it!

If you think I'm playing my character well now, just wait until I threaten to run someone through!

I've come down with a sudden case of fatherhood. Going to be out of touch for a bit. Bot as necessary.

Hmm, sudden case eh? That sounds quite distressing.

Sorry everyone, heavily involved with work and tax returns (I'm helping my parents with theirs too). May not be available until Wednesday.

No worries, either of you. Post when ready...

And congratulations Tragen. They are delightful when they grow up (mine is now 17!).

I hope 'sudden case' doesn't mean you found out on Maury Povich.

Mad congrats Tragen!

Hello?

I'm kinda waiting for some sort of resolution. Short of being able to metagame that I asked for a bunch of healing potions during that three days, Sotha's logical next move is very unconducive to the group dynamic.

I imagine Real Life has caught up with many of our players, the way it does sometime. Me, I'm almost totally available. I'm thinking of DMing an Arcana Evolved PBP.

Actually I was waiting on a response from Sotha or even input from Tragen but no worries.

Nice bickering... just remember that it would be a shame to end the AP prematurely with you lot brawling in the cellars!

You know, in the right circumstances, I can see Sotha and Malak developing into something like this. You know, aside from the fact that they will likely always hate each other.

You'll be like an old married couple before you know it!!!

Hah! Nice one Sotha... that's highly possible.

Just a light bump to keep the game going. As soon as we're out of the labyrinth, I'll see if I can recruit some replacements for our lost members.

We'll definitely need it as it looks like we're down to three players. I'll shoot Tragen a PM also.

If we can get some more players, there is provision in the AP for the Cardinal to provide some reinforcements if needed...

Very cool Megan. I'll post a link to the original recruitment thread with some very dependable players to see if anyone is interested. Where would you like them to post their submissions?

Sorry. I'm still here. The baby has just been extremely fussy of late.

Understandable Tragen.

Ive found one interested player so far.

My usual method is to leave recruitment to the existing players. They are, after all, the ones who will have to adventure with the new recruits.

See if you can fill out the gaps in the 7 Deadly Sins, that could prove intriguing. They will also be required to agree to the same oath as you lot took. The Cardinal has some other folks available, the new recruits can be they... I do have pre-gens, but most people like to roll their own, so I'm good with that.

Very cool.

I'll have my friend post his character here. I already prepped him on the seven sins and he's chosen Pride at this point.

Hey guys,
Thanks for including me in your descent into darkness!

Now, this guy was in a Wicked campaign, we'd just got to the manor and met a few of the residents, as well as taken the pledge.

Megan, ,in our run through we killed the Warden and Avingen has his chainmail and longsword.

Do you want me to re-do Avingen's equipment from scratch, using WBL for level 3?

Also, he's 25 point buy.

As Malak said, I'll be taking the sin of Pride.
