Will update tomorrow, not feeling very inspired this evening.

Once Gavin and Wyatt finish the scene we will move to the next afternoon.

Posting will be on and off as I am on business travel


Shadow's Status

No problem, I have to do it from time to time myself.


Shadow's Status

Waiting for a few of you to respond, then we will bring the group together for the events of the afternoon and evening.


Male Human Rogue Assassin (Criminal) 6, HP: 37/37, AC: 19 (20-duel wielder)(20-SS Quick); Saves: Dex +7, Int +6; Perception: +6; Initiative: +4

Who is left?


Shadow's Status

I think everyone is caught up. I had a post up for you, not sure if you wanted to elaborate further on What Jake Had To say.

No worries Gavin the post monster gers everyone eventually. Will post in the Game play thread tonight when I get home from work.


Male Human Rogue Assassin (Criminal) 6, HP: 37/37, AC: 19 (20-duel wielder)(20-SS Quick); Saves: Dex +7, Int +6; Perception: +6; Initiative: +4

Thanks, I thought I would keep the info from my contact to myself for now. I do not think that it impacts the party in any way.


Shadow's Status

Got home much later than anticipated, will update tomorrow.


Shadow's Status

I will be away from tomorrow (Tuesday) through Saturday on vacation. will move things along when I get back. Thank you.


Male Human Rogue Assassin (Criminal) 6, HP: 37/37, AC: 19 (20-duel wielder)(20-SS Quick); Saves: Dex +7, Int +6; Perception: +6; Initiative: +4

Thanks for the heads up!

Have a fun!!

Those Perception DCs may work fine with PF but within the bounded accuracy of 5th Ed they may be a bit high - At best characters are gonna have +5/+6 and that stays that way until level 4... just my thoughts

OK, I will drop the DC a bit to reflect that. See the IN Play thread for the retcon. I am a 3.5 guy so feel free to make comments as per the above so I can run things a bit more reflective of what one would normally see in 5E. Thanks! :-)


Shadow's Status

I will move things along tonight if Khalid and Gavin do not post as I am going to assume they will simply go along with the rest of you towards the sound of the screams.


Shadow's Status

Will update tomorrow sorry for the delay. This has been a horrible commuting week along with having a shit ton of stuff to do around the house it has limited my posting time.


AC16 HP 39/[39] passive perception 12 passive insight 12 Saves: S+6 D+3 Cn+4 I-1 W+2 Ch+1 Male Human Noble Soldier Fighter/4 Champion

On travel - please bot me


Shadow's Status

Will give another day for the other Players to post before moving on.


Shadow's Status

I will give post an update when I get home from work tomorrow night.


Shadow's Status

Nice rolls Gents! Will post tonight.


Shadow's Status

Will post again tonight and again, the dice roller has really favored the PC's as of late!


Shadow's Status

Will update tomorrow, left an ooc message in my dmpc post thst should have been a DM post sorry bout that.


Shadow's Status

FYI, I will be away from the 3rd through the 7th. If I do not post it is because I do not have internet access.


Shadow's Status

I know we are going a bit slow but how is everyone enjoying the module thus far?

It starts out a bit slow and I am very much ad-libbing along the way but I figured I would check in with you all.


Male Halfling Cleric 1 | HP: | AC: () | CMD: | Fort:+ Refl:+ Will:+ | Init:+ | Perception:+

I am intrigued, just don't really know where to go at this point.


Shadow's Status

Yes this portion of the adventure is a bit confusing. My next update will bring in some clarity.


Male Human Rogue Assassin (Criminal) 6, HP: 37/37, AC: 19 (20-duel wielder)(20-SS Quick); Saves: Dex +7, Int +6; Perception: +6; Initiative: +4

Having fun...interested to see where it goes.


Shadow's Status

Update tomorrow.


Male Tiefling Slayer 2 | HP 0/24 | AC 18, touch 14, FF 14; CMD 20 | Fort +7, Ref +8, Will +2 | Init +5, Perception +6 (darkvision 60 ft.)

Also having fun, just been busy lately and haven't had much to post. Most of the others are expressing the same sentiments I would, so I haven't felt the need to describe Derrick sitting there quietly not saying anything every day.


AC16 HP 39/[39] passive perception 12 passive insight 12 Saves: S+6 D+3 Cn+4 I-1 W+2 Ch+1 Male Human Noble Soldier Fighter/4 Champion

I thought Horror and related checks were to be Wis and Cha respectively - thats how it was laid out when we first started. Horror was to be wis and then sanity or something similar was to be Cha

Also on travel so posting will be spotty

Let me double check that as I was making my save with Wyatt I thought it odd that I had no modifier as I thought I built him to withstand fear and horror better than that.


AC16 HP 39/[39] passive perception 12 passive insight 12 Saves: S+6 D+3 Cn+4 I-1 W+2 Ch+1 Male Human Noble Soldier Fighter/4 Champion

Same here. Fear was to be wis and horror charisma.

The link the original DM provided for Fear and Horror check rules explicitly states that Horror checks would be made with an Intelligence check and not a Charisma. Looks like you and I misunderstood that one Dunstan.

However, if you wish to swap your Intelligence score with your Charisma score in light of that fact I will allow for this one time ret-con. Your die roll was a failure in this particular scene regardless...


Shadow's Status

Thus far, everyone but Gavin has failed their Horror checks. These failures will result in a brief (or perhaps longer) set of psychological issues depending on ow badly the roll was failed just an FYI.

I just sent Khalid a PM as he has not posted in nearly a month. I will give him a day to see if he responds before I move on with the scene.

If for some reason Khalid decides not to continue we have a few options:

1. Lose that character as part of the group (though no Wizard could be pretty detrimental),
2. I or another Player controls Khalid, or
3. We recruit another Player.

Let me know your thoughts on the matter.

Truth be told, the game has run very slowly until late. I had thought of dropping out myself on a few occasions . Let's run without a wizard or recruit but make the new wiz linked to the city authorities in some way to keep the game moving.

Yes no disputing that though as I stated from the beginning, it was always going to run slow due to the fact that my time is limited. Plus some slow PC responses from a few Players have dragged out my response times on top of that.

I like the idea of a Wizard connected to the Constables though I think such a character would work better as a DMPC.


Shadow's Status

I have not heard from Khalid, I will create a DMPC Wizard to take his place.

Gavin, you have 3 rounds of actions before anyone else, including every NPC in the area, can even act. The first is spent Investigating the scene, what other actions will you take?


AC16 HP 39/[39] passive perception 12 passive insight 12 Saves: S+6 D+3 Cn+4 I-1 W+2 Ch+1 Male Human Noble Soldier Fighter/4 Champion

Stupid - 1 to Int :) Doesn't help that the dice hate me.

Hi all, sorry for the prolonged absence and my failure to warn you all about it. Work and real life have caused me to fail a few sanity checks recently. Hopefully though, it should clear up soon.
I'm happy to join back up if that's okay, but I totally understand if you all would like to move on without me. I'll start reading up on what I missed just in case.


Male Half Vistani Wizard 6 AC: 15 HP: 38/38 Pass Per: 17 Pass Investigate: 21 Spells: DC 15 1st: 4/4 2nd: 3/3 3rd: 3/3

Okay, caught up in reading! Looks like Khalid failed a horror check, or would you like me to roll?


AC16 HP 39/[39] passive perception 12 passive insight 12 Saves: S+6 D+3 Cn+4 I-1 W+2 Ch+1 Male Human Noble Soldier Fighter/4 Champion

Roll it baby and VERY happy to see you back mate


Male Half Vistani Wizard 6 AC: 15 HP: 38/38 Pass Per: 17 Pass Investigate: 21 Spells: DC 15 1st: 4/4 2nd: 3/3 3rd: 3/3

Thanks! Very happy to be back!

Not a problem life happens, happy to have you back!

I was just dead tired last night, will move on tonight with the thread. Between work and moving and family stuff I am not able to update Games I DM on a daily basis lately. I will try to move this game forward a bit faster soon once moving is done and I am all settled in.

BTW Dunstan, the good news about your failed rolls is that I am not using the Madness system else you would have picked up a few derangements!

I am ok with you rolling for yourself as we are still mid scene.

My apologies, my regional manager unexpectedly showed up Monday and just left, so I have been working 15 hour days all week. Will get caught up and post tonight.


Shadow's Status

I will be unable to post or very spotty from this Wednesday through Sunday as I am moving.


Shadow's Status

Alright, I am finally moved in and mostly up and running, time to catch up on my threads.

I will update this tonight when I get home from work.


Mutated Animal Turtle Smasher 10

Finally getting moved in to a new house is probably the best feeling ever. Congrats!


Shadow's Status
