Discuss how horrible I am at running things in here!

Good Day sir, I see you survived the Vodka and F.A.T.A.L

There was little of the former because there was none of the latter. I was disappointed.

Dot.

Here we are. Happy New Year, and happy first week of January to our Aussie friends.

I'll jump in when they make it to the lodge.

OMG - Just realised that this is a Blackros thing.

I have JUST the character for it.

I'll get the links for his Chronicles to you shortly and fix up the formating.

This will be Kyoshiro's 3rd Blackros event - and he's only 2nd level... he's becoming quite vexed with them :)

I'm around, just been busy in RL. Haven't had a chance to update spellbook or make any purchases. Will get that done tomorrow.

On a side note, I'm going to a small Con on Sat., playing three scenarios. What is the groups opinion of me using Ander since we haven't really started yet. Honestly, I don't mind not using him, actually was thinking that getting him Lvl 2 might be helpful here. Of course as long as he doesn't die. I have other characters available so no big deal either way.(all Lvl 1). Anyway I'll be playing Cyphermage Dilema, City of Strangers, and Race for the Runecarved Key. Has anyone played these and have any non-spoiler advice? I also have a 1xp Aasimar Celestial Sorcerer and a never played human Alchemist and human Inquisitor that I was thinking of using.

I'm not the GM but my 10 cents as a GM, just having him back and ALIVE Monday and I think we should be good to go assuming that the GM hasn't offically kicked off.

Kyoshiro is Samurai Magus - avoiding the Scimitar or Rapier for the high crit weapon but it gives him access to social skills and perception as class skills.

Link to previous chronicles should be up in the Characters URL field of the Character. Let me know if the GM can't view it.

Race for the Runecarved Key

BRING A NOTEPAD FOR NOTES. THIS IS IMPERATIVE.

Ok, got it.

This ^, many times over. Consumables too if you can afford them, it is a long one.

I regretfully missed out on the Sydney playing of this... but arrived late enough to watch the last quarter of it play out.

Looked great.

I was playing a 10th level control wizard, designed to single-handedly trivialize encounters for this scenario. It was decidedly the most challenging scenario I have participated in. It took just about all the resources I had to make it through, and we still lost a couple of people along the way.

@Kyoshiro: So, have you actually played 00-05 or 04-09 (Blakros Matrimony)? 'Cause since you've played a few of these already, I'll have to find something else to run after this one.

Nope. Soooo looking forward to the Blackros Matrimony but want to do it at T6-7 as I hear the DCs don't scale at T3-4.

Played Echoes of the Overwatched and Voice in the Void as my Blackros modules.

I am building him as a hunter of creatures of the Dark Tapestry and dread cults... Next stop after this is likely Feast of Ravenmoor and Shore to Sea is DEFINITELY on this Characters 'to play' list.

Officially locking in players. A nice, even 6.

We're APL 3 here. We can play up or down. This is S1 and not a horribly deadly one, so I have no overwhelming opinion.

Play Up is my vote

I'm also for playing up - why not present ourselves a bit of a challenge? It will make popping lvl 3 after this scenario feel a bit more like a milestone.

That said, I am open to suggestion.

No preference here, up to you guys.

Up sounds nice.

We have 3 for up and one Don't Care; that's majority! Up it is, motion carries.

I have anti plague but is there anything else people think we should have?

Last adventure I blew my ENTIRE budget except 70gp on consumerables. I am willing to spend some more if for no other reason than survival.

Incidentally before I forget.

Weapon blanch allows coating of 10 pieces of ammunition. I will coat 10 cold iron arrows with my silver blanch... giving me 10 arrows with cold iron AND silver properties.

I'll cross the silver blanch off later.

-wanting to buy
Scroll of Comprehend Languages x 2 50gp
Scroll of Lsr Restoration 150gp
Scroll Protection from Evil 25gp
+ other items I am thinking about.

So Ander didn't go to the Con, I took another character. His equipment should be close to finished. Any suggestions for a 2 PP wand. Ander could take something other than CLW or Infernal Healing to use, thought he might need help with healing at some point. He does have 3 or 4 potions of CLW. Have about 80 gp for any last minute stuff.

Potion/oil of protection from evil is always good, as is enlarge, for Magi. If you have to get ONLY one wand, for you? Infernal healing.

As a fun fact, I had a wizard who ALSO acted as party healer thanks to one of those. I was the ONLY healer we had for 2 sessions and thanks to some luck and that wand, it was enough.

Also a scroll or two. Get 2 read magic scolls - sure its a cantrip but for 25gp? You wont need to worry about using a cantrip slot for this spell... same for mending. Useful spell but not worth the slot.

Well I do have four potions of CLW, I'd be willing to use my 2 PP for a wand of Protection from Evil to buff the party if I could get a little help with healing if needed. Would have to let Ur hold on to the wand.

Urthain would like to spend 2pp on a CLW wand.

Acceptable! I know that "living in the future" thing makes it harder to post often. Plus, you even mentioned buying one earlier.

Ander took a wand of Infernal Healing for 2 PP.

I trust you guys on what you bought; No need to tell me what you got, unless you feel like you want to. Especially if you're passing wands to someone else or letting party members know you bought them and where they're at for in case you go unconscious.

This inspire competence has me all nostalgic. Sadly, this nostalgia reminded me that there's folks out there that will deny the Will Save bonus vs Fear from Banner, just because the source is a Taldan spear-banner held aloft on the 4-pointed and crown-shaped "Taldan Trident" of Baronet Hernando Ruiz, Taldan Knight of the Shield? Heathens. That scorpion most DEFINITELY needed to be challenged, you silly Elf.

If I may offer a suggestion, let Ander use the WoIH at the end of conflicts for the 10 hp and save the WoCLW for more immediate boosts in conflicts. Just a thought. Out of curiosity GM, what exactly were those types of undead, if I can ask?

The Proto-Kellid Warrior one was just a skeleton with a club. The Qadiran Warrior of Old was a "The DM Messed Up One Description and Didn't Fix It Fast Enough, So Now the First and Second Creatures Will Swap Simple Templates for Continuity Purposes" Zombie Champion. The bite-y guy was a ghoul.

I see, thank you.

"PROMOTIONS!!"

Lol!

I feel for him...

Incidently on travel to India for business for a few days.

Every printer in the building isn't printing, and my counterpart is on "vacation"; I'm going to be busy for a little bit, but I'll try to keep posts up, but I don't like to railroad PCs to rooms without their statement of intent.

I'm at the back, or close to very back of the line, being a mage and all. I will be following everyone else.

Oh so snowed in by essays! I'm drowning!

Sorry for the delay and thanks for boting me. The WiFi is not working here so I am relegated to posting from phone.

Will be on travel to India and an aggressive work schedule for the next few week. Posting will be delayed.

If y'all could fill this out, I'd be mighty glad of 'ya.

Phone won't let me edit that. 43196-2, Urthain Shardspear, Grand lodge

Thanks Gm Burglar, that was a blast!

Are you going to run another, GM?

I can, and I have another person for a spot (if we want to take the party to 7.)

I need to know who still wants in, and what the in people have played. I buy ALL the scenarios that come out, so I could run the brand-new 1-5 that came out.

That is tempting. I need to play Veterans Vault, I am GMing it at GenCon.

I'm keen for another game.
