Sorry everyone, we've had a pretty nasty ice storm up here, and I still don't have power at home. Internet access will be limited until power is restored, and I've heard estimates as long as 72 hours till power is back up. Apologies for the inconvenience; hope I'll be back up and running before the x-mas break.
Well, power is back, which is fantastic. 26 hours down isn't great, but is much better than the 72 I was hearing. The number of trees and branches that had fallen due to ice was stunning. Back to the game for a couple of days before our break!
Well, that's it for this year, my friends. Apologies for not being able to fit our two new players in yet :-( Posts from me will resume on January 1st.
Merry Christmas, happy holidays and a happy new year to you all! See you in January!

well i wouldn't say i am sweating it, but we are a ways from level 4 and it is not as much fun to be outclassed by others, especially when you are a solely combat type like my character is
if he wants to leave it as is that is fine, but we have been using an XP system not leveling by fiat.
Not to worry about the levels, please; just a miscalculation on my part. I thought the existing party members were on the very precipice of level four, which is why I had the new guys start there. My apologies. At the end of this scene I'm going to level everyone up to 4th - trust me, you'll need it :-)
Kevkas has a healthy -7 to his Stealth checks. I guess it could be worse- he could have a horn he blows before going into battle. Long story short, dude's not sneaking anywhere. :P
Sorry all, a few scary moments with Kat's mom - pneumonia. She's out of the woods, which is good, but I'm a little worn out. Will post tomorrow. Apologies for the delay!
I do hate hospitals with a passion, and I didn't get away from this whole situation unscathed; I now have "pink eye" which is really gross and irritating. Blah. Kat somehow didn't get it, and now I am in quarantine, too :-( Life is hard.
Do we get an additional roll to assimilate the 'lord of the undead' clue (or do we just get to know that Orcus is the demon lord of the undead, since he's a pretty big name as far as demons go?)
If another roll is required... I keep screwing up the dice rolling formatting, dangit.
Matthias, and everyone, remember - roll for HP, and if you get less than the average - 4 for d6, 5 for d8, 6 for d10, 7 for d12 - take the average instead and then add any bonuses for con, toughness, chosen class, etc.
