Adventurer's League 5E : Beneath the Fetid Chelimber (DDAL05-06) (Inactive)

Game Master spinningdice

Not sure if you had the right email address for me. rmcmahonnyc@gmail.com is the proper one.

Thank you for doing this.

Received it, thanks! Vic is now level 2. I would like to purchase an upgrade to Studded Leather Armor and some healing potions with my funds.

Still here and ready to go.

Likewise.

Sorry, for some reason I seem to struggle to access the Paizo site from home whenever I try, not sure if I'm just unlucky with server downtime/busy timeouts or if there's something wrong (sometimes I get the goblin, sometimes I just get site not found errors).

If it happens again I may have to give my PC a serious talking to (and nuke all the cache, temp files and experiment with different browsers)

Should have now sent sheets to all who requested, Going to put up an opening post shortly.

Clyde will be joining us, so you'll have some fighter support.

Okay, first post of the adventure up.
I don't think anyone else is a Harper, but the spoiler on the game thread includes Clyde's faction quest.

The site was down practically all weekend.

A bit of bad news. I've developed tendinitis in both my hands, making it difficult to type (either on a keyboard or my phone).

As such, I won't be posting as often, and I'll be taking more of a back role for this adventure until my hands heal. Doc says it should be about 3-4 weeks.

I'm still going to play and keep up, it's just that my posting will be more minimal.

No worries, thanks for letting me know.

Just let me know if it's not working out and you need to drop, I don't want to take the blame for making things worse!

I have switched to Studded Leather and purchased two potions of healing. Total cost reflected on profile of 140 GP.

As a quick note, this adventure needs some editing as it seems to reference older edition rules.

For example, you should be given Resistance 5 from this altar, which isn't something that exists in D&D 5e design. This is doubly annoying as other effects give Resistance 3, so I need some way to distinguish them.

Also resistance to the appropriate element is very vague...

Sorry, just venting. Carry on.

Is the resistance for the entire party or just Raina?

What is 5 resistance? That feels like a 3rd edition thing.

In 5e, resistance is simply half damage vs a damage type.

Did it mean 5 damage reduction?

Just the character placing the offering, of course there's nothing stopping you duplicating the offering.

Gah, didn't mean to write the 5 in the main thread, you have Resistance to the effects noticed, and advantage on the saves. I put my typo down to a combination of frustation at the the adventure using rules that don't exist and that I'm just getting over illness from the tail end of last week.

Oh! OK.

Feel better, man. I've had this head cold for about four weeks now. Finally stopped this past weekend (I hope), but I'm pretty sure I had a sinus infection for a week or two there.

Clyde has informed me that he's dropping out of this game. He says it's too slow for him.

Yeah, I'm just going to fast-forward through a chunk now, sorry if this has been boring, if I do more AL in future, I'll be sure to vet the adventure I'm running a bit more, and try and keep things flowing better.

It just seems hard to keep things moving in this one without eliminating a most of the player agency, plus real-life issues have been dragging out all my energy.

It's a poorly written adventure. As I said, I'm sorry I suggested it. I should have vetted it as well.

If you haven't had the chance, I strongly recommend reading this post:

"Bless" has a duration of concentration. Can I take other actions and keep it in place?

You can take other actions, but you can only have one 'concentration' spell in play at once, if you cast another the old one drops. If you take damage while concentrating you need to make a CON Save at DC 10 or 1/2 damage taken (whichever is higher) to keep concentrating).

{203 PHB for reference)

THank you. Im at work so don't have my books :)

So we're really close to the end, right? Anyone want to get this game finished up?

I seem not to be able to hit anything but I am trying. :)

If everyone's had enough I can just wrap it up now. Raina's next hit will finish it off,it will get another round of attacks in against Cass, but it's not going to wipe him out as worse case scenario it'll leave him dying.

And I can heal him cause I haven't used any spells yet.

Wrapped up the main thread, reward summaries posted in there.
Need to decide who gets the magical gear, this is either by party agreement or if there is no agreement I'll randomise between interested characters as per usual division of magic rules.

Thanks. Will you be completing our log sheets?

Will do, just want to know who's having what first.

Thanks for running the game! I had a good time, despite the poor module.

I hope to see you running more AL Games in the future!

410 gold. Is that each, or do we need to split four ways?

410 gold appears to be it to be divided. You missed out on 20gp that you could have looted from altars, but would have been hit by more traps.

I appreciate you running the module. I am teaching myself 5e as we go so it is appropriated. As I said in the other thread I am happy to pass the items to others so gold and XP is all I need out of the run.

Thanks for running it! Please email my log sheet to vincentacri@gmail.com

Hey DM, don't forget that because you ran an online game, you get double the DM rewards.

Aye, thank you for running!

Yeah, I'm going to leave it a bit before I try again and vet the module a bit better in future, as this one had both rules-errors, poor explanation of what was intended and poor structure in general in my opinion.

Maybe stay away from the brand new stuff and check the reviews on drivethru first too (I don't think there were any reviews yet when I picked it up)

I also felt bad for Cass who seemed singularly unable to hit anything - don't let it put you off!

I'll get sheets sorted tonight.
