Aww thanks everyone. I think you're awesome too.
Mara will take the creepy wand of lesser restoration, as well as a scroll of cure light wounds (Theo should take the other) and the scroll of sanctuary.
If added a copy of Mara's token to the main map to show where she is going.
My idea is to leave the double doors off of the Dayroom for now, and explore some of the other areas. Does that sound reasonable?
No one has claimed red destiny yet. Side note I had intended to change it from a short sword to a rapier, but it slipped my mind when I made that post.
I think Rowan can only use it if it is a short sword. If you want rapier, then it should go to someone who can use it.
I’m interested in the cloak of resistances, but it should go to whoever has the lowest saves that can use it.
If it becomes a rapier, it would be great for Julius (whereas a short sword doesn't really help anybody that much).
Dervak would like the potion of Bull's Strength. Julius or Theophilus should take the cloak, I think.
If it becomes a rapier, it would be great for Julius (whereas a short sword doesn't really help anybody that much).
My thoughts. And I'd like someone to use the weapon with the cool description and name, rather than treat it like so much vendor trash.
If Rowan doesn't want the short sword, sure! I'll take it as a rapier.
Mara is happy to let Theophilus have the cloak (although I'm always interested in a Cloak of Resistance).
Ladies first!
Moving on?
Admitting is a pointless monster closet. In that it only exists to provide exp and drain resources. I generally skip these unless they also provide needed items or are in someway interesting to run.
Rowan's player hasn't posted in a while so I'm going to bot any combat actions he does until he shows up again. I'm fairly certain I know why and it's nothing I'm concerned about.
Sorry I’ve been away, wife has been working a lot, which leaves me to do the parenting.
Does anyone know what the current in-game date is? If so, how long were we patients for?
No one really knows what the current day is but its easily found out if you asked one of the survivors, you've been patients for about a week.
At this point you would reach level 3. Since its been pretty easy I'm just going to keep you at that level.
Sounds good. Are we caught up to where we were supposed to be?
You are at the level you should be which is 3rd. Sorry for phrasing that oddly. Adventure recommends you be at 3rd at this point.
I can't see the entire map right now (posting from iPad). I think the only place we have left to go is the double doors from the dayroom. Do we want to go through there right now (possibly into a major fight)?
Alternately, we could try to somehow revive Losandro.
I won't have PC access until Wed, and I'm working a very long day today, so posting will be limited until then.
There is another single door to go through but IIRC (don't have the adventure handy) it just goes to the same room. The only other thing you could do is research at the library.
Work's pretty bad for me right now too so why don't we take a break until the weekend.
Sounds good! Hope everyone has a good week. My school job ends tomorrow, and I start my summer job on Saturday. Hopefully shouldn't impact me too bad, just wanted to let you guys know.
And we are starting labor tonight (third child), so break timing is perfect.
Holy crap, congratulations! Good luck!
@Rowan: May everything go smoothly. Best of luck!
Congratulations!
Indeed congrats are in order.
Baby arrived this morning, and everyone is doing well. I am beat and going to sleep!
Glad to hear that everyone is doing well!
Glad to hear, congrats! Now get some sleep!
Options:
1. Try to revive Losandro.
2. Go through the double doors on the north side of the dayroom.
3. Go through the door from the nurse's station (likely to the same place as option 2).
4. Something else?
Preferences?
I'm assuming we searched through the small rooms ("Brenton and Debis" et al.) and scanned for magic. Let me know if I'm mistaken.
Edit: Just realized that we have apparently already met Brenton.
Yes you found all the things in the rooms. And you did meet Brenton.
Anyone have any preferences on our next course of action? Otherwise Mara is going to have another try at reviving Losandro.
Let's go for it! What's the worst thing that could happen?
He says, knowing that there are several fates worse than death that could happen.
Sounds good.
There really isn't anything important at this point in those rooms. Everything to discover would have been covered elsewhere by now. So they'd just be monster closets. Later tonight I can do a recap of what you should know.
It really is just you're in some sort of hospital, Zandalus is mentioned and theres a lot of weird shit going on, which includes but is not limited to ghouls and doppelgangers roaming the halls.
Thanks, again!
FWIW, the labelled rooms (Rats & Zoog, Mara) show how far the party got to in the hallway north of the chapel.
Gotcha, I think part of the confusion comes from the fact that the prior map I was referencing had that section uncovered. I'll leave it up to you, but you won't be missing much.
We could research in the library for the rest of the day, and then go after Zandalus in the morning.
You're in Briarstone Asylum which is in Versex county in Ustalav. You have all lost at least the last 3 years of your memories. But apparently you knew each other before you were committed by Count Haserton Lowls.
You worked in some capacity for Lowls. He had some sort of deal with Administrator Losandro, he would provide funding and would get access to the patient Ulver Zandalus. Lowls gave Losandro a cure for Zandalus' condition around the same time the party was committed.
Soon after there was a patient uprising led by Zandalus. Many of the former patients and asylum staff sought refuge in the multi-denominational chapel. Among them is Winter Klazcka an agent of the Royal Accuser's who was investigating Lowls for abandoning his duties.
Soon after the uprising a yellow fog full of horrors surrounded the asylum and many of the people caught outside of the chapel transformed into doppelgangers or ghouls. There was an earthquake that destroyed the second story and collapsed many walls.
Somehow the Shredman is mixed up in all this. Said to stalk people in their dreams and kill them. You dreamed of him before you became sensible a few days ago.
There are things underneath the asylum, ratlings have warrens there and some other gigantic monstrosity that was wisely fled from. There have also been many manifestations from peoples thoughts or dreams, that has slowed your progress (haunts) or assisted you (Sara).
Prolly missed a few things.
Sounds about right, think you covered the whole gist of it.
Sounds like a perfect place to be insane. Got it!
Despite her naivete, Mara's inclination is to kill the doppelganger, given the threat that it poses to others.
It's hard for me to see how talking to the doppelganger is going to get us anywhere.
It seems to me, we have two options:
1. Kill the doppelganger, and go after Zandalus.
2. Leave the doppelganger for now, hoping that dealing with Zandalus will somehow enable us to reverse the transformation.
If someone else has something specific they want to try, by all means try, but otherwise I suggest we attack Zandalus' cult.
I’m back, sorry for the delay. Mom and baby are doing well.
Welcome back! I honestly expected you to be gone longer.
Glad to hear everyone is doing well.
Real quick note not going to have time to make a post today
