Daedalus' First Labrynth- Crypt of the Everflame (Inactive)

Game Master Daedalus the Dungeon Builder

Sorry, having some internet troubles. Hopefully it'll be fixed by tonight.

No worries DM, Athromar is having major dice roller issues, perhaps the break will be kinder to him on the next roll!

Just wondering if DM still having same issues, sorry if so. Seems to have slowed quite a bit here

Yeah, sorry about that. I've been trying to give people a chance to post to respond, but it seems that it won't be sustainible. Hopefully I can get to a faster rate of posting soon. Unlike with most of my games, I have to be at my computer to ensure everything goes properly.

Hmm, would it be possible to remove one of the trap doors from the trap room and use it to snuff out the fire?

Not really, but you will find some supplies (including a barrel of water) if you look in Roldare's room.
Also, you have a caster (Athromar) with Create Water on-hand. That might help some.

Cira? Are you still around? Haven't heard from you in a while.

Still here, fwiw

Sounds good. I may be a bit off-and-on for about a week (traveling), but hopefully I'll still be able to update. Moving on come Monday.

Understood.

Sorry I've been... a bit spotty recently. On top of packing/traveling and getting sick, A good friend of mine died recently (hiking accident), so I'm still a bit in shock. Hopefully I'll be back to frequent posting soon. Thanks for bearing with me in this.

Now worries and totally understandable. You are doing fine, take more time if you need it.

No worries, sorry to hear about your friend, that's terrible :-(

Agreed, so sorry for your loss.

If Phineas' channel does not finish it, I'll channel again. This Shadow is brutal! :-)

So.... It seems fairly clear that we've lost Cira. Do you want me to run a replacement recruitment, or do you think that you'll be able to manage with just the three of you?

Can it be done with just 3?

If so ok for me if not recruit.

I'm ok moving on with 3

me too

I forget the rule but with rest we only get 1 point of ability damage back per day correct?

Strength is not the worst thing for our particular PCs to lose as we are a ranged attack/spellcasting group anyhow BUT, if we lose muhc more strength we'll be shadows too!

I am 50/50 on rest or move forward.

Here is the excerpt from PRD:

Healing Ability Damage: Temporary ability damage returns at the rate of 1 point per night of rest (8 hours) for each affected ability score. Complete bed rest restores 2 points per day (24 hours) for each affected ability score.

I think we can wait the 8 hours and then take it from there, but will defer if someone else has a strong opinion. We may be swimming later (a STR-based skill).

Blacklock was a wacky attempt at a strength rogue knowing high levels wouldn't be reached, so it hurts as far as character mechanics goes.

But its alright, character mechanics isn't everything. It's silly to wait around until the ability damage is restored fully. Low levels are more about the d20 roll anyways. Let's just move on after rest.

Agreed.

Please BOT me DM, I'll refresh my statistics in my Profile, strength down to -3 after the night's rest.

Sweet. :) I think that's the second thing I have hit all game.

Yes, we're still going. So sorry for the delay. I'll get an update out in a couple of hours. I'll Bot Athromar to keep things going for this round.

Just an aside, and I know this is just part of the module, but those guys having Nirmathan coin shouldn't really be mysterious/surprising since like...we are in Nirmathas. Right? Wouldn't be more surprising if it came from some other territory or am I missing something...

I think the point of the coins is to show that these aren't random countryside explorers- they came from a big city, with newly-minted coins. It also serves to show the two bodies are connected. Or that's my understanding, at least.

Hehe, that must be it. Just saying if I find a corpse in America with American dollars I'm not going to raise any eyebrows (other than being shocked by the body, ofc). I suppose if I found 2 corpses, and each had a stack of nice crisp bills there could be a connection, sure.

Sorry, I forgot to mention it: Phineas, while looking for magic in the room, you spotted two magical auras on your companions- with further investigation, you discover that it is the dagger from the Shadow's room and the ring you just found.

Phineas adds a level in Ranger, which increases BAB to +2. He chooses Archery combat style, which grants the precise shot feat and then takes Two-Weapon Fighting feat for Ranger level - which allows him to make double attacks with quarterstaff without severe penalties.

I did add a rank in Spellcraft so will take some stabs at identifying the magic items now as well. Profile and headline updated for new stats etc.

I will level tonight, going Cleric 3.

HP = 5+1+1 FC
BaB +1
Ref Save +1
Channel Energy +1d6
Spells: Level 2 - 2+1
Feat: Extra Turning
Skills: 4 points +1 Perception, +2 Knowledge Religion, +1 Spellcraft
Background Skill: +2 Knowledge History

Sorry, Ill get out the way next round

Sorry, Ill get out the way next round

No worries, using the doorway to bottleneck traffic is perfectly appropriate, but that crypt behind the door stymies my shooting a bit. Do what you think it best.

Hmm, glancing through our spells/inventories I'm not seeing a path forward here. We might need to retreat and get some splash weapons and torches etc, maybe Rold has some. Or maybe just scare them out with fire, could light some barrels/wood.

If nobody can think of a solution by this evening, I'll move along tomorrow.

So, the site going down today messed with my posting. If it's stable tomorrow, I'm hoping to get an update out then.

Updated boards same s#%&ty attack rolls!

Still here, just waiting for fear to expire.

Yeah, sorry for the delay. Life happened. I'll get a post out soon enough, but I do have a way for you to deal with the swarm. Because they are diminutive, weapons can't harm them.

Just a heads up I'll be away from technology for the first part of tomorrow, taking a little trip. I'll post in the evening at the usual time.

Phineas will pray for some different spells for this day. He will add Protection from Evil as his domain spell, and replace Detect Evil with Shield of Faith. His other first level slot will still hold Bless.

Well, I've bundled them all up for you guys at least. ;)

The whole party is up again, just so you know.

Botting Athromar in the morning to keep things moving.

I am traveling for work tomorrow and Wednesday, so run me if I am holding things up. Typically channel vs skeletons, quarterstaff if they close in, since bow is likely ineffective against skels.

I'm really busy for the next couple of days, but I'll move along as soon as I get the chance.

Still here, hoping we can finish this one

RL been kicking my ass pretty good, I'll get to this tomorrow or Wednesday the latest.
