Name of PC:Farak Bararr
Class/Level: Dwarwen Cleric 3
Adventure:Burnt Offerings
Catalyst: Nualia

Name of PC:Hurrg
Class/Level: Dwarwen Barbarian 3
Adventure:Burnt Offerings
Catalyst: Nualia

Story: Both was taken prisoner after a party split. The 3 remaining adventurers tried to take Thistletop, but had to flee to survive.
Farak and Hurrg was beheaded by Nualia, and their bodies were consumed by Yeth hounds. A glorius sacrifice to Lamasthu!

2 groups, perhaps?

The pool with the human skulls in B 13: it fills no function and are mostly a cool feature of the room, if I'm reading this correctly.

Has any anyone done something with it, a nice extra feature?

One of my players filled his waterskin with the filthy water from B 12 with his bare hand (got some ideas there), and went straight to the pool and poured some of it in the water. My mind went blank when he asked me if something happens. I felt later that I could had handled it better.

I´m not really sure; last session ended with Tsuto fleeing into the Catacombs. His goal is to hide and then flee to Thistletop.

You should reconsider: play that fighter so the dm can concentrate 100% on the game.

I´ll try another question: I could have sworn that I read somewhere that Abstalar Zantrus has a Wand of Cure Light Wounds? I can´t find it, or have I just made that up?

One important difference: the Anniversiary Edition uses the Fast Advancement Track when leveling (p.11).

I´m searching for some easy to print monster cards with stats for the Anniversiary Edition. Was that ever done?

Freeport?

I´ve an elven wizard in the party. He´s on a quest to find an ancient elven kingdom, lost in the mist of history.
I´m pretty sure he´s going to ask a lot of question about the history of Sandpoint and beyond that, Thassilon's.
I wonder what's fair to give him on a Knowledge: History(+8)roll?

Asmo

Why are they colored diffrently?

Wait, the temple was built in 5 years? And when was Sandpoint founded?

I run from Shore to Sea. It ended with a terrible TPK. This module is perhaps pretty easy for oldtimers, but for new players with no real knowledge of combat tactics and effective spellcasting it proved to be a real meatgrinder. The Chuuls were terrifyingly effective.

As a former priest,I moved the consecration of the cathedral inside. It felt strange to have it done outside on the town square.
We ended last session with the players hearing screams from the town square, rushing out,watching the chaos unfold.
Come Sunday, blood will be spilled.

There´s some problem when I try to load the document: I can see it for a nanosecond, and then I get an error message.

Thanks!

About the Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition:the description on page 30, A 23 Smugglers Entrance is the way to Catacombs of Wrath and B1? I´ve some problems how to map this (and picture it in my head).
Finally on page 35, B6 (the Ancient Prison) has strange hole(?) in one of the cells, with a dotted white half circle. What´s that?

Well, as long the players aren´t mooning me, I'm fine.

Always a showel for the s~*!pit, always.

Sounds plausible

Please let us know how it all worked out!

Asmo

But they still need to see each other,as Espy pointed out.
This was a classic during the old days: we carefully planned the operation, the wizard cast fly & invisibilty, and after a while it dawned; we can´t see each other! Abort!

Asmo

At the moment, Skums, lots of 'em.

Asmo

So, what did you buy? I couldnt resist the temptation, so now I´m waiting for the Curse of the Crimson Throne super bundle to arrive.

Asmo

A book where they explain how the Monk is intended to work. 32 pages will do. Core only.

Mirror of Opposition

Is it possible to multiclass into Monk and be able to flurry with your nose and ear hair? Do they count as natural weapons? Perhaps it counts as one weapon only?

I took Egarthis's dagger (p.24)and made it a collectors item. I placed a filty rich merchant - Ali al Hassan - from Jalmeray in Tamran. He was on the hunt for a long lost royal treasure, and the trail have taken him to Tamran.
He was more than willing to trade some magical items for this very valuble item (5000 gp).
I think the party traded the dagger for a Handy Haversack, a wand of Clw and a Efficient Quiver. Good times!

Asmo

Tonight my players will fight a Chuul: lets say that the Chuul grapples a party member and transfer him or her to its paralytic tentacles.
The player fails his or her save and is paralyzed.
If the rest if the party wants to attack the Chuul - melee or otherwise - is there a risk for them to hit their friend rather than the Chuul?
I can´t find anything about this in the Core Rule Book.

Asmo

Thanks!

Does the Rust Monster attack with each antennae, or is it one attack?

Asmo

Many thanks!

Asmo

What everybody is trying to say is that this isn´t covered in the rules, and is a dm call?

Asmo

Core rule book says" The form chosen must be that of an animal with which the druid is familiar"
How is this handled ingame? How does the druid know what animals he or she is familiar with? A druid from the far north wants to Wild Shape into a monkey that she´s never seen?

Asmo

How big is the island of Nal-Kashel?

Asmo

Thanks!

At one point the "hostages" were held at a barge much like "The Black Mist" in the harbour, at this point they don´t know.
About killing the hostages, well, she´s LE after all, so it´s possible.
I don´t know if I´ve the guts to, though :)

We are playing tonight, so I jump right into it; (this is somewhat long, sorry about that)
the group finished (sort of) City of the Golden Death, and returned to Tamran to report to Reginar.

The problem is as follows: the didn´t kill Iramine, the subdued her and took the key (the amulet) and left the city. They also knew that she and Egarthis has a way to teleport (this a side quest that isn´t written into the module, it´s a part from "The Looking Glass Deep" module which I used to bridge the players from Masks of the Living God to City of Golden Death, which includes a minor artifact called "the Key of the Way").

So of course she wont stop until she has the amulet again. The party has given one of the parts to Reginar, and the other two parts will be transported back to Crypt of Everflame. The party failed to tell Reginar that both Iramine and Egarthis is alive, and other influencial Razmirans from the destroyed temple as well, Rennec is one of them.

We are now on a timer: the talk with Reginar occured early in the morning, at lunch he´s informed that Iramine is spotted in Tamran. He sends runners to gather the party for a new meeting at dinner.

At the same time one of the party members is approached by a man that informs her that the Razmirans has her sister, husband and their newborn child as hostage (What the party don´t know is that her sister and husband are followers of the cult).

They will be released when the party hands over the amulet, or else there will be problems. Reginar will not part with his part of the amulet at any cost.
He´ll also try to convince the party that they hand over the rest of the amulet. If he succeds, he will depart for Absalom as soon as possible.

I´ll set up a meeting with this contact later the same evening at a tavern, where they need to show that they are willing to cooperate.

My problem is that I feel that I don´t have any back-up plan. Iramine will not kill valuable members of the cult, on the other hand she´s willing to take some risks to get as many parts of the amulet as possible.
If the party handles over the parts to Iramine, the Pathfinders and Reginar will hunt them down. If they give the amulet to Reginar, what would Iramine's reaction be?
Argh, this happens when you don´t follow the script; it feels that I´ve cornered myself badly. I´ve a feeling that the party want to finish of Iramine and friends for good, but I can´t find a way to set up a scene that doesn´t feel forced. Good folks, please help me out!

Asmo

Welcome to the boards!

I will run the anniversary edition, and I´ll go for 15 points and allow one score to go below 10; to - 8, to be exact. Max 18 in a score at first level. Thoughts?

Asmo

The link to the 10 interesting ruin web extra doesn´t work. Can someone repost it?

Asmo

Thanks Rob!

We discussed this at our latest session, but we couldn´t sort it out.
Thanks once again for the input!

Asmo

I really can´t visualize how this works according to the text and the map.
The text says "Each of the eight mayor intersections in the First Ring is bordered by a channel carved into the street and untouched by the gold, enclosing a 50-foot-square area"
What is stopping the players from just taking the way through the channel, avoiding the intersection completely? Or walking around the intersection? Obviously we are missing something here.
Thanks for any help!

Asmo

Yeah, but no timer talk.

The podcast is almost 2:20: at what time is the countdown talk?

Asmo

What I mean is more how did you handle the 66 hours - 1 hour of gameplay equals 10 hour or something like that?

My players are about to enter Xin Grafar this sunday, and I´m wondering if it´s worth the hassle with the countdown.
How did your group handle it? Please share!

Asmo

I didn´t know this; we always thought it was hard enough with a -4 to hit when firing into meleé, but -8! Who would ever want to play an archer? Is this really correct?

Asmo

61..you wonder if Jack Bauer Chaotic Neutral.

collectorspoint.se has chapter 3-6 in stock.
