@DM: I just remembered, were the rest of us supposed to level up to 6 after the last encounter? I seem to recall it was going to happen relatively soon, wasn't it?

Ppls, I am off on vacations until... The 11/12th September!! Wohoooo!!!
I will most likely be able to check the boards, but don't think I will be able to update any of my games, due to large amounts of sun, water (pool and sea), grilled fish and meat (plus accompanying beverages) with which I will gladly have to deal with ;)
Feel free to bot me if needed.

Given I'm still traveling until the 8th, this is probably going to be a slow time for us.

And I just realized I probably should have leveled up my character before making the Kn(local) roll. Oops. Oh well. I also discovered that I was only giving myself 2 base skill ranks per level when Occultist apparently get 4. :X

+2 Dex
Adventuring Skills
+1 Intimidate
+1 Kn(Arcana)
+2 Kn(Local)
+2 Kn(Dungeoneering)
+1 Kn(Planes)
+1 Kn(Nature)
+2 Kn(Religion)
+1 Perception
+1 Spellcraft
+5 Stealth
Background Skills
+2 Linguistics (Goblin, Necril)
Occultist:
Heroic Splendor (Su): 1/day use a swift action to gain a +4 insight bonus to Str, Dex, or Con for 1 min (+1/day for every 4 lvls beyond 6th)
+1 2nd level spell slot
+1 Mental focus
Fighter
+1 Bravery (or +2 overall)
+1 Feat: Adv Weapon Training (Focused Weapon)- Chosen weapons group deal damage like a Warpriest's Sacred Weapon class feature

Yeah, unless it's a *very* young red dragon, we don't want to fight it.

Mwenye |

Mwenye isn't going to go *too* far alone. If he can't stay in sight of the main chamber and catch the bandit he'll let him go.

Ryoken the Wanderer |

Just a heads up that I'll be packing/traveling Sunday and Monday and probably won't get a chance to update then. Bot me as necessary (I'm basically just going to be attacking people anyway).

Mwenye |

I'm getting married this Friday, so it's quite possible I'll be somewhat... distracted for the next while. So if I disappear for a bit feel free to have my character do all of the smart things I haven't thought of.

Mwenye |

Thanks! :) I hope everyone had a merry Christmas (or 25th of December :D)!

Diamondust |

Well CONGRATULATIONS to Mwenye. I did a bit of shopping for you and found the perfect wedding gift.
Unconditional Love and Commitment You would do anything for that someone special. Gain 1 Hero Point as they inspire you!
Merry Christmas everyone and apologies for my unannounced christmas absence. Getting right back at it with only 1 more short break new year's eve/day where I won't be on here.

Mwenye |

Aww, thank you! :D Is that a serious 1 Hero Point or a joke? (I can't tell)
And no problem, everyone's pretty spotty this time of year.

Mwenye |

Awww, thank you!
...I'm going to need it, aren't I? XD I guess I should look up how they actually work...

Diamondust |

Hey guys. The start of this year hasn't been very nice to me but i'm not dead so i'm still keeping my games going. Should be updating oftener now. I had planned to start a Wrath of the Righteous game too but that might have to wait a bit till I'm back up to speed with everything else.
Hope everyone is still here and keen.

Mwenye |

So, what *do* we want to do? Mwenye is leaning towards taking the bandits back and then heading for Rappan Athuk, but he could be convinced to do otherwise pretty easily.
Mostly I just want to get to the titular dungeon as a player. :D

Ryoken the Wanderer |

I would definitely say first take the bandits back. My inclination is to do more side quests before the dungeon because more XP = marginally less likely to die, but also because I think it would be better to deal with the kobolds quickly/before they have too much of a chance to organize behind the dragon. But as a player, I am also interested in getting to the dungeon proper, so I can be convinced otherwise. Though if we survive and if the land is then ravaged by dragon flame, prepare for Ryoken to throw some "I told you so" looks. ;-)

Jaska Dilan |

As the newcomer here, I'll go with the group.

Diamondust |

Good point Ryoken, though please put stuff like that here in the discussion thread. I had the poison rules not quite correct. I didn't realise if you made the first save you didn't have to make any more saves and weren't affected by the poison at all.
So now, just make another save for the second spider bite at the normal DC 17.

Ryoken the Wanderer |

Oops, sorry. I'll try to remember to use the discussion thread next time.
