[5e AL] A City on the Edge [Completed!] (Inactive)

Game Master mishima

Adding my agreement that this has been a great and well-paced game...some people just do not get into the character or game...nothing to do with you GM..you are killing it (and hopefully not us!!)

Haha. Bhoors. I totally didn't notice you're also Orym Rednose until I saw the Disney post. ~Zeb

A third source is of course any cleric or paladin PC willing to spend a spell slot, 25 gp worth of silver powder, and 1 hour.

Guys, I know as a player Undead Fortitude is a pretty annoying ability, but you gotta admit, makes zombies feel more like zombies. :D

Yeah it makes for good flava

I really like the mechanism for the zombies!! As big a pain in the a$$ that they are, you are correct in saying that they "feel" more like zombies!! Quick question...if I dipped my arrows in holy water, would they gain any special properties against the zombies? Just curious.

Since its less viscous than poison, I'll allow it for one piece of ammunition and would take an action to apply. Basically, trade an action for prof bonus on the holy water attack roll. Suppose that's fair. They have such low AC anyways tossing the flask normally likely to succeed.

Ditto what everyone's saying about the zeds.

Sorry Bhoors. Not trying to be difficult but Nella would not be happy to delay ending this issue. XD

Just a little heads up, next week is my spring break and I should have tons of time for heavy posting.

Excellent.

Most difficult opponent party has faced so far: Floor. XD

Yeah, numerically even, 14 is a tough DC for these levels.

Yeah the highest DC spell save a pc can have is 13 so 14 is a bit high but it's a moderate, avoidable effect so not terrible.

LOL..did we all fail??? That is terrible, but also very funny...as long as the zombies don't eat us!!!

Aha, yep, dang sorry guys...depending on how Bjorn's roll works out. If it makes you feel better you just waltzed right through 3 death chambers without even noticing the 3 huge razor sharp pendulum axes.

I sense a levelup coming soon...

It just occurred to me it would be convenient to put the rewards posts in campaign info. I'll edit that in shortly, major pain to go back through the threads.

Meatgrinder PCs who started at level 1 have reached level 2. Non meatgrinders are just shy of it. GP accumulated so far per character is in the neighborhood of 40.

edit: .....and one more thing! Part of AL is something called DM quests that happen offscreen, sort of just something fun for DMs. Sometimes they have player rewards, but its usually just a DM reward. There is one that some may get though: if this is your first AL game ever, you get a free potion of healing. You can mark this as "Bounty Hunter DM Quest Reward" on your log.

edit2: please let me know if thats true for you, it affects the XP I get on my AL PC... ;P

I've also been neglecting downtime rewards. You guys have accumulated 15 downtime days (5 per mini adventure) so far. Reminder: the hatched velociraptor egg is capable of tricks and name recognition if you spend 20, so after one more mini run. ;D

Awesome! This is my first AL adventure so I'll mark that down. Nella's keeping a close eye on those eggs. :)

I knew we probably weren't fully officially level 2 yet but I knew we were about to be and figured it wouldn't hurt to wild shape for purely RP purposes.

Yeah, no harm no foul. Much cooler to do it there then later in the tavern bedroom or something.

This is my first AL game. So I guess that would give Shal 2 potions of healing if added to the one received earlier.

Cool, I already knew Bjorn was new and Davin and Dwalar were not...so that leaves Bhoors! First AL game?

Also, I just found a wonderful Port Nyanzaru illustration, and am putting it in my profile line:

Map

If anyone needs help leveling fire away. HP is not rolled in AL, its the static number you find in the class entry + con mod.

No level yet...but soooo close, just a little over 100xp away!!! lol

Nice, Davin. About to get your archetype. Thinking arcane archer?

I'm good with resting, leveling, and advancing to the races but we can wait for others if helpful.

I think Bhoors, Shal, and Bjorn still need to level, but I'm not sure if they were all doing meatgrinder or not.

But we can get things going as long as were not rolling dice. I'll get a post up in a few hours.

Sorry. I've been a bit busy.

I'll try to get Bjorn updated later tonight.

No problem Bjorn.

Also just a reminder all, if theres anything you are unhappy with mechanics wise you are free to rebuild your character between adventures until level 5.

I had not volunteered for meatgrinder so I am not sure I qualify.

Yes this is my first AL game. Though I joined a second since.

Bhoors, if you want it from now on just say so. You can flip it on and off anytime we do a new adventure. In other words, its a per adventure option.

Cool, I already knew Bjorn was new and Davin and Dwalar were not...so that leaves Bhoors! First AL game?

Also, I just found a wonderful Port Nyanzaru illustration, and am putting it in my profile line:

Map

Is it safe to say that map is in one of the Tabxi's pamphlets that Bhoors bought. Or even the map that the harbor master had. (do we have the harbor master's map?)

Yeah I will go for Meatgrinder going forward.

Sure, between those 2 things and wandering around for days you guys have that info. A harder to read version has been in slides since the beginning. Feel free to use it, I quite like it.

Is anyone familiar with the D&D Beyond Character Builder? I bought the PHB bundle but I can't access feats.

If you used the character builder before buying the PHB, even just messing around, you will need to make a totally new character on the characters page. Otherwise you only get access to Grappler and maybe one other.

edit: Also make sure to choose variant human, not regular human of course.

I figured it out.

Can I link directly to my Beyond character sheet? Does this work?

I think I just have to export to PDF and host the sheet elsewhere. Level 2 Bjorn is linked in my header.

Sweet. Although the sheet doesn't have feat detail. :/ Not a big deal for me unless you reworked from Tavern Brawler.

Hmm, I've never tried this before but I bet I could view your sheet without external hosting if I made a campaign on Beyond. Want to try and see what happens?

Heres the invite link

Ugh. That sheet really is terrible.

Bjorn still has Tavern Brawler.

Well if it makes you feel better here's how its going in my notes, so you can use whatever for your own purposes:

I try to omit stuff if its derivable.

Nice, Davin. About to get your archetype. Thinking arcane archer?

I'm good with resting, leveling, and advancing to the races but we can wait for others if helpful.

Yup...that's the plan anyway...:-)

Nella, if you plan on continuing with Nella in AL, you might take a moment to track the dinosaurs you see in game on your log. These races will have quite the variety for choosing from with wild shape later.

Great point! Thanks!

Nella, good point about sources. Allosaurus, t-rex, and triceratops are at least in basic rules. The rest seem to be Volos though, so yeah you couldn't use those.

Sorry if this is confusing guys. When its your turn, this happens:

Rider advances one position.
Rider performs Jab, Trip, Dash, or Taunt.
Rider rolls obstacle (d20).

Ill put the actions and obstacles on a second slide so we dont have to navigate back through posts.

edit: Also I just noticed the finish line should be beyond position 5, not on it...

Hahaha. Nice Shal!
