Guys, by tonight we will have crossed 10,000 posts in this game.
I just wanted to put into context how great an achievement this is and how pleased I am that you have all stuck with this game over the last few years to make it one of the best and most prolific on the boards.
Since 2007, 6,271 play-by-post games have been launched on this site and to date, only 21 have reached 10k posts. That means 99.7% of games have failed to reach the threshold we are about to cross and of those that have, I believe only two are completed campaigns.
Thank you all again for your patience, persistence and quality of writing and I only hope this continues right through these final chapters.
Like I always said - even with a few RL bumps on the road, Caradwen is here for the long haul ;)
It is indeed something amazing - a big CONGRATS to my fellow players for putting forth such amazing, well rounded characters, and in fact building a story around it, instead of simply an amalgam of posts.
And a serious shout out to you Jam, for having kept this going, and all of us engaged for so long. Your GMing and commitment are truly impressive, and you sir, are a BOSS!
I can only echo these sentiments. I'm here til the bitter end too. The posting is great. The story is great. The characters are great. The players are great. Would campaign again with any of you. I do miss Seb though. 'Sob'.

I second that motion, and yep, I miss Sebastian also :D
Caradwen is updated btw.
Thanks for everything Jam, I've enjoyed this since the first post. You've run it so well and always made it entertaining, I can't wait to see how this all ends! (Markus not turning evil)
Taken cleave as my lvl 11 feat. Against multiple attackers, with greater bane and power attack could be v. Useful.
Guys.... I just realized I hadn't yet leveled to 11!!!
And you didn't warn me! :P
Level up done :P
By the way guys, as an Arcane Duelist Caradwen has the following (Su) ability:
Bladethirst (Su): An arcane duelist of 6th level or higher may use performance to grant one weapon, one natural weapon, one end of a double weapon, or 50 items of ammunition of the same type within 30 feet a +1 enhancement bonus. This enhancement bonus increases by +1 for every three levels after 6th (maximum +5 at 18th level). These bonuses stack with existing bonuses and may be used to increase the item’s enhancement bonus up to +5 or to add any of the following weapon properties: defending, distance, ghost touch, keen, mighty cleaving, returning, shock, shocking burst, seeking, speed, or wounding. If the weapon is not magical, at least a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before adding special abilities.
Bonus for her is currently at +2, so keep that in mind, and if you have any requests just let me know ;)
That's a pretty cool ability Cara. Could prove to be really useful.
Buying a scroll of protection from evil and copying it into my spellbook
I know you had to post for me to move it in because I didn't post over the weekend but I would like it noted that I wouldn't of smashed that grate, I know smashing things is my thing. But I think chasing a vampire into a vampire infested sewers is a terrible idea. So if we approach another barricade that needs to be knocked down I refuse to. Just making you and ware jam incase you need to post again for me for any reason
OK Morbar, duly noted. I'm pretty certain that Jon would have done it anyway, it would have just taken longer.
But yes, I have to keep it moving if we are to finish
This is why we came to the glass house to find the way down to get to the council of vampires(99% assumed we're getting used) we were always headed to the sewer(The vampire we're chasing now was the gatekeeper.) He even told us that the city was built up for the sewer and the lower parts of the city was taken over by vampires.
It is your thing :P but it thats fine that you didn't want to do it. Next time we'll have to find another way around.
I think we should go in the sewers but take it slow we are literally just jumping in head first this approach. But it's done now so let's see how it goes there's never really a right or wrong way around these things anyway
Jon would have smashed it .
There is no other way in other than teleporting through the grate and that would be a waste, we have no other option but to head into these vamp infested sewers it seems.
I agree totally it is a bad idea but it's the only thing we can do.
Just letting you know I am going to be away with work from Monday to Wednesday night and unlikely to be able to post.
Ok JZ hope it's somewhere nice like Croydon.
Weird. And no, it's Aberdeen. I couldn't say if that's nicer than Croydon or not.
Hope you get a chance to do some sight seeing, because my last work trips didn't leave much room for that :(
Aberdeen is nice. But that wind coming in off the North sea is something else mate. Cuts to the bone.
Sorry for the lack of posting people - as you may (or not) know, my family has been moving during the last and also this week. I've been crazy busy with all that involves, and really didn't have a single opportunity to post. Again my apologies for that - I expect to be back up and running next weekend.
No worries Cara, we are in investigation mode atm :)
I know how crazy moving can be so don't worry about it
It's fine Cara, I've got a bad feeling about all this(other than the working from vampires) So take your time and make sure it all gets sorted.
Apologies guys, I am away with work and unable to post properly on the train. Will update tomorrow
People, I am again travelling for work today - this will be a loooooong one and I will only be arriving at my destination tomorrow... Will be there for a week, but I should have internet access, and hope to be able to keep up from tomorrow onwards.
Cool, thanks for letting us know Cara
Apologies guys, the site went down for me last night as I was posting. I'll try to update this morning
Enjoy ;)
I did. I loved it :)
Civil War was everything I wanted and more!
Yeah. It was good. Team Iron man rule (discuss)!

Potion of CMW x12
Silversheen x5
Potion of displacement
Potion of haste
Hat of disguise
Potion of haste
Morbar do you want a full plate +2?
If you look at the loot list it shows what money you have here is what will be added for you to decide what to buy will change a little if morbar takes the full plate.
Jon 8,550
Markus 4,150
Morbar 7,200
Davos 10,350
Erek 4,500
Cara 5,850
Party 5,400 - I'll be buying alot of wands even though we still have a lot left
Jam can you roll for a +4 cloak of resistance? and a rod of lesser extend?
Yes
Yes
Wow, I'm gonna be rich :P
So I got just over 10k? Awesome!
Here's my level up (partial)
s/d extra lvl 2 and 4 spell
bab 9, 4
hp 8
+1 all saves
stern gaze and track bonus =6
extra 1 bane/day
ability score increase (dex)
greater bane
teamwork feat (TBC)
7 skills (TBC)
Actually, being level 12 I get greater bane so I don't need my bane baldric. So that's another 5 k.
What cool stuff could I buy for 15k?
It's a nice amount of money to have in one go Erek. You could go one of two ways I guess, either buying something very practical - but slightly boring like a better Cloak of Resistance or something interesting like the Swordmaster's Shirt which allows you to extend your reach by 5ft 5 times a day.
Yah go cloak of resistance. I'm thinking about getting that +4 or an item that gives everyone i heal with channel bless for 1 minute not sure if its worth it..
Could be useful items depends what you are after
Boots of Striding and Springing
Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier
Ring of Foe Focus
Anyone able to lend me 400g?
I think I can Davos :D
Guys, work is hammering me - I'll try to have the level up and purchases finished during the weekend.
I can spot you Davos. No worries.
J I'm gonna have to take time on my shopping this weekend. I'll have to post it retrospectively.
Hey guys, just to let you know it's my friends birthday today and mine on Monday so busy weekend ahead. I may not get a chance to post at all.
Worked out my teamwork feat: Phalanx fighter.
Now to shop...
Can you check for a +4 cloak of resistance please J
Happy birthday Jam!
Cloak of resistance + 4
Winged boots
Halo of inner calm
Ok so I bought the halo. Sold my falchion to make up the difference in price.
No unfortunately Davos
