Ooo, how about this one, boss?

^-- I enjoy both Mulmaster and the Red Wizards.

Does this follow the Red War Epic timeline wise? Or is it earlier in the time line?

Edit
Hmmm from a closer inspection of the description it appaers that it may be after it. That could be cool.

Are we starting our next adventure at 5th level? If so I'll level Uriah, if not I'll go slow track and only get to 4th.

It doesn't matter much to me, I like the character not the numbers.

Also, 5 levels and 0 attack rolls. I'm really gonna try and never actually make an attack as Uriah ever.

Zayless I believe is also going to be 4th so would need to spend the downtime as well.

@Uriah Yes, the next adventure will be starting T-2.

Remember that you all will be starting the Tier and it is probably optimized for higher level characters. I will do my part, but you will need to use caution. You were way over loaded for the content previous to this. It may be challenging. I will purchase the mod tonight and give it a read through.

This last experience has made Rav much more cautious... ;)

Alrighty then, leveling Uriah to 5th

4th: HP gain +6, Ability Score increase DEX and CHA by 1,one more cantrip (Light), one more spell known (Suggestion 2nd level), one more 2nd level spell slot

5th HP gain +6, Proficiency goes up to +3, Bardic Inspiration to d8, Bardic Inspiration recovered on a short rest, one more spell known (Hypnotic Pattern 3rd), 2 3rd level spell slots

Gain of 225 gold and some downtime and some treasure points.

Any ideas on some things Uriah should spend his gold, DT or TP on?

I haven't been looking at the Discussion board, so I missed a lot. Has Rav been 5th lvel, or did he hit 5 after his untimely demise? If he was 4th level, and a member of a faction, he doens't have to pay for a raise dead... I think the faction payes for raises through Tier I.

He was 4th, and became 5th after his demise. He does not have the Safe Haven Background feature, so cannot take the free raise. (He has only been Emerald Enclave nominally anyway.) I wanted to keep the rewards, so I burned all my TP for a raise dead scroll, then 1 DT for spellcasting services (to cast the spell), and 4 DT to overcome the resurrection fatigue.

^_^ But he is back!

As for Uriah, I would save your DT to learn other languages so that you can tell stories in more and more tongues! (And insult more and more races...) Maybe save your TP for something in the future that we unlock, (or that portable hole that is on this season's unlock list!)

EDIT: To clarify, now to benefit from a faction you need to have the Safe Haven background feature from Faction Agent in the SCAG. You do not need the Faction Agent background, you just need to swap out the Safe Haven background feature for whatever you have from your current background.

OK Raiden is 5th and feeling good. And some of the stats I had written on here were wildly off, wth. Raiden is stronger and has an extra attack that can crit on a 19, but is still subject to the whims of that damn dice roller.

I will save those 8 treasure points to make my own +1 sword because of course that has to happen. However, how do I go about getting better armor? The interwebs were not helpful on that. Raiden has $329. Maybe he just needs to learn to dodge, duck, dip, dive and dodge.

I would suggest saving up another level and purchasing splint armor. Plate is going to be something you won't get until tier 3, at least. Heavy armor master would be a nice addition to Raiden... (Maybe at 6th level.) ^_^

Remember that your proficiency bonus increases to +3, so your saves bump up to +7 Str and +5 Con.

Ravvek gets extra attack as well, and now has 4 - 1st lvls and 2 - 2nd lvl spells.

Uriah has 546GP and literally nothing to buy. Can you give GP to someone?

If I had more renown and GP I'd try to get a Cape of the Montebank from my faction.

Thanks Rav, I do actually have that one right on my character sheet. I make my own so that I can remember how things work. (That sort of helps, I'm still terrible at remembering rules. For anything!) Also thanks for the armor/prof suggestions. Advantage of making your own character sheet - you can write down what to take at future levels. :-)

So factions...Raiden doesn't belong to one because none of them fit (with his character). Is there a reason to join one?

@Uriah, actually, no faction buy anymore, but the Cape of the Mountebank is on the Season 8 unlocks so you can buy it when you have 20 TP! (Just gotta be tier 2!)

@Raiden, just make sure that you update your header, so that the DM can easily make note of saves, AC, and hp! This will help keep things moving, especially in combat. I know what you mean about making your own sheet, I prefer the stat block format of the pregens, so this is what I made for Rav.

Factions are not as necessary now, and I believe they are revamping everything. Factions just weren't hitting the narrative beats that they wanted. In Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, they are much more interesting, because they might be able to keep you out of jail after an altercation in the city or help you out with little problems that might arise in the city. Plus they add a couple more factions, namely Bregan D'aerthe for drow characters and Force Grey!

Can’t purchase faction gear anymore Uriah. If you’re looking at a faction guide, it is currently out of date. You can but healing potions :) just the 50g ones though. Still, when you need healing and e’rybody is either out of spells or not willing to use em, having a few pots in your back pocket is not a bad thing.

Save your gold though. A use for it may come along.

Alrighty roo, we ready to go kick monster butt yet?!

I picked up the mods last night and began going through them. Both are T2 mods taking place next n Mulmaster after the Red War Epic event.

I think Zayless is the only person we have heard from yet. I’ll send a PM to make sure he is still on board.

Woo hoo! Going to war! Tick Tary Tanner needs to be avenged! ;p

There’s that Emerald Enclave spirit!

I enjoyed following that whole thing on the the Emerald Enclave FB group... It was super interesting to me that this is all player driven!

Hey guys sorry for ghosting. The website was not putting the numbers up next to the discussion tab so it wasn't drawing my attention.

I am open to whatever the group wants to do next.

I am happy to chip in for the resurrection as well.

If I am following. I can apply down time days to level up? I am currently level 2. Greycastle said its likely I could go level 4.

You are level 2, then with the 8 Advancement Checkpoints from this past adventure, that levels you to 4th level. Then 25 Downtime days will jump you to 5th.

If you do that, you will gain 300 gp. ^_^

EDIT: No worries about the raise dead. I was able to swing it. ^_^

So we want to go as high as 5th for the next leg?

Yeppers! We are going to Mulmaster to deal with the echoes of the Red War at tier 2! ^_^

Alright I will address that.

I updated Zayless.

I am not sure I understand the Treasure points. I don't remember those items showing up in the adventure.

Treasure points(TPS) are part of the newest season of adventure league. Collect them and you may spend them on on magic items that you want to purchase. There are a few things you can buy with 8 points but your options get much better as you get more. I posted a list of items that are purchasable a few days ago. Let me know what items you might be looking for and I’ll tell you what they would cost in TPs.

As to the new adventure. I think I will start a new thread for it. It seems I was incorrect in that these mods take place DURING the Red War, not post. So be prepared for that lol.

Okie dokes!

Actually I'm kind of used to Mulmaster being completely fubar. ;)

Also I was looking for more info on the Red War, but it seems to not be cannon.

edit: Oh I see it was like a "living faerun" thing where people on facebook declared war on Thay, then they made AL adv about it. Coolness.

Where is this Facebook group dictating AL adventures? I am interested!

Not sure, I was just reading from above, but probably the Baldman games group for this particular one. Then again they mentioned there being a facebook for each faction so not sure really.

I'd look but I'm more of a twitter guy, don't even have an account.

There are individual groups for each faction. Just search for the individual groups (Harpers, Lords' Alliance, etc.) and you can participate in some RP!

That is where all this started. It was quite amazing...

Harper's Den

Emerald Enclave

These are the only ones that I have joined, but there is one for each Faction. (Though I do not know if there are ones for the new factions in Dragon Heist, like Bregan D'aerthe and Force Grey.)

Ok troops, HERE is the new thread. Lets do this. Lol
