I'd ask for a small loan from Ark and buy a pearl of power - level 1. Or I can remove my 4 holy waters and lend you it myself.

Arkus Scargazed |

Had to cover fellow workers who went away. So Barely had time for decent posting. Should be cleared later today so I can finally get in some decent posting and move all of you along.
My apologies. RL is being really cruel to me.
Yes Arkus is fine to a loan. Dagger doesn't do much for him.

Sorry for the delay but it has been an interesting week.
Almost ended up in the ER because of a bad allergic reaction (I really really hate cats now)
had two school tests one of which I aced
Congrats on the test! Sorry to hear about the allergy. I had a bad one also--three weeks back. It sucks, dude. I totally sympathize.

Just curious if we are close to 3rd level. Evangelists have a delayed progression in channel energy. These combats have been fun!

Yes Ravenloft rules. Definitely not part of the adventure but helps breathe life into the story.
I play in another PBP where my thief had to kill someone in a dungeon, the next day he had to come to terms that he was a murderer; it was lots of fun to write. The character is usually a very chaotic crazy happy go lucky pathological liar without a filter to what he says in long winded rants and run on sentences like this one. So when he had a serious realization it really allowed some substance to be brought to the character.
With his damped slicked back Auburn hair, Del wanders down the street toward the market square. He was going to find his mother's sister's daughter's daughter but the smell of fresh bakery items had carried on the small amount of breeze this stuffy city gets. It did not take him long to find the bread vendor with the still warm oatmeal rolls, Del feeling like he had accomplished... well he accomplished something according to the people that are letting him stay in their house.
Per usual his thoughts were racey and came in bursts so quick he has difficult times keeping them straight.
To himself thinking.
Did I just join a cult? Dammit, I thought it would of been more obvious. They have a secret hide out and that is a sure sign of a cult. And I was "recruited" that is more cult speak. If this ends up with me smeared in dead chicken blood kneeling and swaying to chanting while getting symbols burnt into me with hot brands my mother is going to be so upset. So what are we worshipping anyway? Something that does not like low class citizens apparently... What the hell do they have against the flings anyway? That is some racist nonsense, just because they are second class citizens we have to kill them now? And what about that whole capturing a prison wagon? We did not even keep the wagon. Ugh. I killed someone.
Del looks down at his basket of rolls and the thought of warm oatmeal rolls turns his stomach.
I killed a few people.
Del stops dead in the flow of pedestrian foot traffic while that grim fact really digs in; he was a murderer.
The flow of people push and shove and complain about Del the roadblock as they manage around him, some say some nasty words; but Del stays lost with that thought for a long time. Even with the constant bombardment of people pushing him about he has never felt so alone. He drunkardly makes his way to the side of the foot traffic and to the wall of a tall building that boarders the walkway. For a very long time he stands with his back against the wall, feeling the roll in his hand grow cold, like the people he killed.
He wasn't sure what type of temple he was in or how he got there, or what happened to the bag of oatmeal rolls, but there was definitely stained glass so he was in a temple. The fine dressed cleric he was talking to seemed a bit appalled by his direct questions but Del had things he needed to know so he asked again.
Like I said HYPOTHETICALLY, that means I did not do it but what if. So HYPOTHETICALLY if I did kill someone what kind of pray is that for penance? This is that kind of church right? The erase your bad things to be good church? ... What do you mean this is the showroom and want me to leave at once!? When was salvation for sale! I have real brain wracking questions!... For the eighth time I am not leaving until I get an answer and I do not want to buy a window.
This conversation ended by two large gentlemen physically throwing him out of the Church of Kaijitsu of Sandpoint, odd name.
As Del was in the process of standing up from his sidewalk net someone grabbed him by his ear with a firm twist. A young girl moved Del's hurting ear to the side to bring his face into view. She said.
Hey uncle Del. You told me you were in town. And I was told by the you of tomorrow you want me to show you that trick. You also wanted me to meet you here so you did not go back into the stained glass store and break all those windows that got you arrested.
Del. Mina! I probably did! Just who I was looking for.
Quick Note, he is a gypsy looking for his gypsy niece that is a diviner that could tell the future. Last few sentences are confusing without that fact.

Will be on 'Holiday' from 12th December to 22nd December. I'm told that there's no WiFi.

Woo finished with the semester! Should be able to post on a more regular schedule, thanks again everyone for being understanding.
So two things.
1. After you guys finish with this dungeon you will be level 3. I am leaving up to you to say when you are finished with exploring (looting).
2. I rediscovered an old campaign I wrote and ran part of it as a one shot the other day for my real life group. Think I am going to try and run it here in addition to RotRL, if anyone is interested let me know before it is opened for public recruitment.
I want to try it in 5e format.
The game is not combat heavy, it is part mystery, crime noir, horror, standard fantasy, and whatever else fits it. It takes place in a homebrew setting. I will not be putting any restrictions on classes. For races there are no 1/2 dragons (do not exist), no 1/2 orcs (just not playable for this campaign), and no tieflings (also not playable for this campaign).
For classes anything that has evil ties to an evil god or patron needs a good explanation to support story. Everyone basically gets scouted for a task and it is difficult to scout the paladin of murder death kill.

Excellent! Working while going to school is really difficult.
Very tempting on the 5E homebrew and appreciate the invitation. My PbP participation is reaching maximum thresholds. Currently, I'm sticking to shorter PFS scenarios and I haven't purchased 5E yet. I will be checking in on the thread once you start it.
We should loot the heck out of this dungeon. We all could use more wealth.
I'm going to level Zol up. I'm thinking about taking weapon focus at 3rd level if the feat fencing grace is allowed. I would take it at 5th level. I forget if you are permitting Pathfinder Player Companion source material. Its from the book Advance Class Origins.

keith goudreau |

The Feats are fine.
I have been playing 5e for a little bit now and very much enjoy it. Think it would be unfair to compare it to pathfinder as they are two separate beasts.
Hope to have plans for the new game up in a week or two. Will mention it again before trying to recruit.

I've updated my character to level 3.
How do we want to deal with loot/GP?
Utnapishtim is more interested in heroics and doing right by Desna. He's not interested in accounting and inventory.
If I have time this weekend, I can update the loot list in Google documents. Please mark your characters name by any item, then anything not claimed by midnight Christmas Eve will be sold and the funds will be divided. Sound fair?

![]() |

The loot list has been updated. I think Prof should keep the wand of shocking grasp if Jer won't use it. Zol is only claiming the bottle of wine. I recommend also keeping the longsword, since we don't have another magical weapon in the party. It won't leave much in sale proceeds, but we can sell it later once we all find +5 hackmasters.

Merry christmas Everybody! I hope the year has being good for you.

I will be respectfully withdrawing from the group after this goblin battle. It was great playing with all of you, some over a year! Thank you DM Sockmonkey for providing this opportunity and describing such vivid details. You have a wonderful gift of storyingtelling.
Real life is refocusing my attention as work is getting very hectic.

keith goudreau |

Sorry to see you go.
I too am having the same difficulty with real life that is delaying my posting. I think I too will be putting the game on pause for the moment.
We can finish off the battle so when it picks back up it will be easier to do so. When I get home from class I will post.
Sorry for having to abandon the game after a year of commitment but it is unfair to make everyone wait so long for me to post.

Yes Zol. RL has being rather harsh lately.
It has being good playing with all of you.
