That’s pretty good going :)
How much gold do we have? I need to boost my charisma
It is amazing just how much we have done.
Loot list This is the loot list I've sold everything people didn't want. Anything I missed let me know.
Ok so I need to get hold of a headband of charisma +4 or a +2 one at the very least.
Can we get back to Lepistatd?
It will take days, but you can do whatever you want
Markus am I right in thinking I have 31000 to spend?
Yes after selling everything, Let me know if im missing anything on your sheets.
Guys I have a huge piece of work I need to do tonight, will update this tomorrow. Apologies for the delay
No worries man - I guess we are in a 'shopping process' anyway - need to figure what to buy for Cara and Morbar.
I think Morbar is going to get a Belt of Giant STR or something :D
Ok so I have windwalk once, I can cast it on 6 people we are now 7.
I don't want to waste time and let Adivion setup so if people really want to go spend money maybe one of us should go do it with windwalk, I also don't like the idea of us walking/riding our way to Gallowspire - Do we have enough overland flys to get everyone there?
I could windwind walk to Lepistand do shopping get two scrolls of windwalk and we can get to gallowspire in 2 hours? hows that?
We're all rested so that sounds like a plan.
For Caradwen, I think I am going with a flat increase of her Cloak of Resistance +2 to a +4.
Morbar will upgrade his Adamantine Earth Breaker +1 to +2 and his Full Plate from +2 to +3.
Done!
Sell ghost touch armoured coat for 5,000
Buy righteous darkleaf cloth armoured coat for 27,750
Also buy Exorcists aspergulum for 8,000.
Leaves me with about 1,000
I would suggest we buy some scrolls of death ward with as high a caster level as possible.
Or can we get a wand of death ward?
I'll work out a shopping list and post what I want
Total cost = 21660
Dweomer’s Essence x4 - 2000
silver mirror x4 - 400
Bag, Handy Haversack - 2000

Hey guys. Not been able to post for ages. Crazy mental here. Hope it settles soon though.
Yea no worries Erek
No stress - hang in there man!
Guys, I'm travelling for the weekend. Will be back on Monday. Posts are not likely to occur until then :)
Please bot me as needed.
Have fun Cara.
Sorry guys, this week is going to be murder for me... Moving for the Nth time in two years is really taking its toll on me..
If all goes well, I should have internet right from the get go, so from next Monday onwards it should be smooth sailing only.
But until then, it won't be easy to get online.
My apologies to you all.
Hope the move goes well
Yep, all the best dude, moving is stressful times!
Hi guys,
In case any of you are interested, my Reign of Winter group is recruiting one player - I think we are about to finish Book3 (not sure because I never played it before) so far ahead in the game (good chance to play mid-high level characters).
In any case, recruitment details are HERE - go check it out if you can ;)
Cheers.
Guys, dropping a line to let you know I will be going on vacations from the 20th until the 30th June. Will have access to internet, and will probably be able to post here and there during those 10 days, but in between family, SUN, beach, swimming pool and summer beverages, the posts will have to wait a tad ;)
Heads up on a stag from tomorrow morning 8/6 back sunday 10/6.
Enjoy your hols cara sounds fun :)
Have fun both.....Davos, go easy on the babycham ! you know what you are like :)
Guys, I am on vacations as you know. Still if you want to go ahead and wrap this, feel free. It would be cool if you'd wait though... Cheers.
I am on vacation myself between 30th June and 21st July Cara and I think it's inevitable that we take a break for that time
We can wait Cara, wouldn’t be right to wrap it up without you there.
Shall we just call a time out on this until everyone is back? Resume the rest of round 1 at the end of July ?
Thanks for taking the time to wait for me guys - It would be a big frustration not being a part of this until the very end, after so many years.
Jz be back around 20th, we’ll be starting up again around then :). Hope you had a good holiday cara
Ok back on the 23rd. We were in Kuala Lumpur for 4 nights but internet was limited to free WiFi in coffee shops and such so I was never going to update with anything meaningful.
Currently at the airport on our way into Malaysian Borneo so I expect to be more or less completely off the grid now for the next couple of weeks
Wow, that sounds like an amazing ride Jam. Enjoy the vacations!
Thanks Cara. I think it's actually your turn, I can resolve mine when I'm back then
Actually Markus asked us all to wait, so I guess Caradwen will be holding her actions.
He did, I'm unsure if people will listen but he has to try.
I want to let you behind the screen a little here.
As things stand - If you don't kill the Whispering Tyrant, he will likely destroy the world. If you do kill him his power changes everything as Adivion intended.
Adivion feels you forced him into a position to do this indirectly by denying him the Raven's Head and not joining him. Thinking about this, he came to realise that you absolutely would not stop in your attempts to foil his plan. And so, in keeping with his character, he used that knowledge to his advantage, placing you in this seemingly impossible position.
I appreciate people might find this really dissatisfying but I hope you think about it in the spirit that it's intended - i.e. I have tried to instil a theme in this game of questioning what it means to be evil, what is right and wrong and are there grey areas in between. I really aimed for what they achieved in Captain America: Civil War where both sides can be seen as being 'right' or at least justifiable in their positions.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this - good, bad or indifferent - but for right now in game, you have the pressing issue of having to deal with the immediate problem of the toughest fight you have ever had.
I think it's great. Not impossible though. Just needs some tough decisions and sacrifice.
I will only find this dissatisfying if there is no way to destroy the machine and prevent Adivions plan.
That would piss me off no end.
But as for the rest of it it’s been very cool j, Adivion is a class baddie :)
Jon hates the fact that he has been used, time and again and even if Adivions plan was the best thing that could happen to the world, he would oppose it with his last breath just because he hates the man so much.
If you are interested, this is now completely different to the book as written.
In the campaign, Adivion is a pretty faceless bad guy. You only hear his name for the first time in Book 3 and he doesn't make a physical appearance until Book 6 when you encounter him here at the top of the tower.
As written, his plan is to drink the Carrion Crown elixir and become a lich which is all a bit lame in my opinion.
I wanted this guy to be memorable and to have motivations that you can identify with. I've been building him up for literally years and planning all these moments for so long in advance that I am genuinely excited when they pay off.
When I watched Avengers Infinity War and Thanos was talking about sacrificing half of the universe in order to make it sustainable for all the generations to come afterward, I thought to myself "this is basically Adivion." I'll be happy if I've captured just a little bit of a similar pathos in him.
It's been amazing playing this campaign with you all, there have been so many cool moments and I hope this is another one. This is go time, end of the world, everything on the line.
May you all roll natural 20s.
Good luck!
It's pretty awesome J. He is a true adversary and a great character. I've loved every moment of the campaign and am honoured to have been part of such a dedicated group of top notch roll players. I often regret killing off Seb but the moment called for it and I think it was o e of those memorable moments. I think my favourite part of the whole Thing was his rooftop chase in book 2. That sequence just seemed to be tailor made of a monk and it worked perfectly. Good luck guys. I've got a bad feeling about this!
There aren't many games where you have to confront such conundrums, and (maybe) insurmountable odds - I like the fact the decision to be made is not a straightforward one. Grey areas are an amazing thing for storytelling Jam, and you've done a great job with it :D
I would NEVER have imagined Adivion would be a most a faceless guy in the book - I always thought he was the centerpiece. Wow... You've done very well in bringing him to life - like so many times before, my hat is off to you sir!
Fighting the Whispering tyrant will always be a memorable moment, even if we are insta-killed :D
Let's do this!
It's been amazing J, I can see how Civil War has influenced the story arc you've laid out for us and can see a touch of Thanos in him.
So far everything has been good, I've always perferred seeing the the end boss bit frequent throughout a campigain as it helps drive a story better for me personally anyway
