DDAL 07-03: A Day at the Races [5e Adventurers League] (Inactive)

Game Master Aeshuura

This is the discussion thread.

Dot.

Sorry, guys! I will post after work today. It is a madhouse over here!

My posting rate will pick up after next week, but for now I will be able to post once a day. Sorry about that!

No problem here! I wasn't really expecting anything more than once a day anyway. :-)

I am usually a much more prolific poster. I manage a College Bookstore and we are starting school next week. It is starting to become busy and I am the only full-timer and trying to train new student help to boot!

I've found that, when training new employees, tazers work best. they have a range and are fairly easy to reload.

>.<

I'm not at all picky about the mascot. Personally, I like the Froghemoth and the Eblis, but they are all pretty crazy and fun I think. :-)

Due to personal preference, I'm inclined toward flail snail, but if anyone has a burning passion for anything, I'm more than happy to go with whatever.

I... honestly don't know what most of those things are lol. But I like the idea of being The Golden <Whatever>s.

So by my count, so far that’s 2 for Flail Snail (white), 1 for T-Rex (gold), 1 for Zorbo (blue)

Can we not mix and match colors and mascots?

You are free to mix and match the colors with the animal, they do not have to be as aligned. (The third column is for me and your rivals teams!)

individually:

1 T-rex
2 Flail Snail

1 Blue
2 Golden

I like gold as well.

Trex Blue

I could go with gold though.

Either way, let’s not get bogged down with a fashion choice lol.

Looks like Golden Rex wins out

Yay!

Aeshuura, did you get murdered by a rebellious student helper? ;-)

Sorry, we had a crazy couple of days. Today we had a day long game event for our Second Sunday. I am back, though! Posting shortly!

Bah, always forget about halfling's Lucky reroll nat 1s. Oh well.

Guess that was my bad. I saw "once you have 5 ribbons" and took that to mean each, not total.

You weren't the only one, my friend. No worries. Let me get some of this work out of the way and I will post in an hour or two.

Sorting through, we have 4/5 ribbons (with 1 ribbon per person) the round that the opponents mount up (Though, Faroris hasn't rolled for this round yet). Getting our 5th one the next round.

Sapihina, the round that the opponents mount up has an opportunity to harry the opponents, whatever that looks like. The rest of us, except Dwalar, can harry the round after.

Thanks, Sashah! That helps a lot.

Wow. We are just hemorrhaging team members off of this dino.

Last-ditch efforts will do that.

Aw, sorry guys...now I feel terrible.

But this makes it fun and memorable! ^_^

Yeah, my character may not be liking this too much but as a player I think this is fantastic. :-)

I agree, this ya been some great stuff.

+1

I love these escape descriptions. :-)

This is the juice for me. I am glad that you enjoy them!

They are working to fix a bug, and the preview is not working. Since I rely on that alot for my descriptions, I will try to continue either this evening or tomorrow morning. Thank you for your patience!

Ah, alright sweet. Thought it was just me.

I've DMed some 5e games but not yet experienced the zombies. That fortitude ability is nasty, I like it.

Yeah, especially if you are not doing heavy damage! ;)

Thank you very much for running!

Is xp in AL the same as in PHB? I'm 2nd now?

Thanks for running, that was an awesome game! If all the AL adventures are like that I need to pay this more attention.

You are most welcome!

@Scramsax, yes, you are 2nd level! To be fair, Adventurers League is mostly like this, but there are a wide variety of DMs, so not every experience may be like this one, but most of them on the Paizo messageboards are about the same in quality!

Wow, level 2!

Ok, so I'm very confused about downtime. How do I know how many days are spent between adventures? Are downtime days really only awarded at a specific rate?

Downtime is fluid. You can save them up and spend them as a sort of currency to get things done. Usually you have to spend your lifestyle expenses for each DT day, but you can do these things to do some various things (including what is in the PHB, plus what is detailed in the Player's Guide and the Tomb of Annihilation primer.)

EDIT: Yes, usually they are earned at 5 days per 2 hours of play. On PbP, it is based on what the module is rated. Since this was rated as a 2-hour adventure, you get 5 DT days.

Thank you for running this! This was a lot of fun. :-)

Ok. So if I spend downtime days then I have to also spend lifestyle gold, but if not then I don't? Also, does this character have to continue Tomb of Annihilation?

@Faroris, I am glad that you enjoyed it!

@Dwalar, correct. And no, you are not bound to Tomb of Annihilation, though you only get Meat Grinder bonus for modules or hardcovers that include the Death Curse.

BTW: I forgot to add your 10% if you were doing Meat Grinder! That would add another 50 xp and 10 gp, 8 sp, 3 cp for each of you!

Thanks again Aeshuura, it was fun. I may be trying to run my first PBP soon, I just havnt decided which AL adventure to buy from DM's Guild
