Actually, the WBL for level three (which I don't use but still pay attention to as a guide line) is 3000GP. You were at about 1000 before this one and adding all these magic items at around 2000 GP each and a bunch of potions you as a party are pretty close. A quick search of this upcoming mod has over 60k in treasure so it is there to be found!
Hagrym is ready!
Two ruling forces are currently at odds in Bargarsport, with both vying for absolute control of the city. The Alantyr family, known for political influence as well as underhanded dealings, has the ear and pocketbook of the mayor, Berkoff Kaleston. The Alantyrs’ influence is widespread, with gambling dens and illegal importing operations spread far and wide. The Alantyrs use Ayianna’s name as a curse when rotten luck befalls one of their illegal rackets.
The other force in Bargarsport is the priesthood of Ayianna that lives and grows within the buried temple of Clandestine. The high priestess Reneth Anora has a long friendship with chief constable Harga Shackleford. Both are devoted followers of Ayianna and often work together at every turn to thwart the Alantyr family’s attempts to control the city.
Bargarsport is a den of lawlessness, where no questions are asked and information is not given cheaply. Anything goes. Murder is acceptable, although the clergy of Ayianna frowns upon it. Crimes against humanity are looked down upon but aren’t the only reasons for the many executions that go on within the upper city.
Olik will take you there when you are ready. He will explain that the sewer passages flood twice each day with the rise of the ocean’s high tide. The passages remain submerged for six hours starting at dawn and dusk except where noted. The low tide carries waste and refuses out to sea at noon and at midnight. A six-hour window exists between tides when the water level is lower than three feet through the tunnels. Due
to the sea cave’s configuration and the reef barrier, flooding occurs rapidly. The majority of the sewer completely submerges in under 10 minutes. Two “safe” windows exist for exploring the sewers: from midnight to dawn and from noon to dusk.
Travel in the sewers is hazardous and slow. Due to the slippery terrain, the curved fl oor and frequent fractures in the pipes, movement is reduced by half. Double moves, running, charging and over runs requires a successful DC 15 Acrobatics check. Failure by five or more indicates the PC falls prone into the sludge.
He will tell you would get lost without a guide and it is not mapped.
Maybe Olik will agree to be our guide?
He will guide you to the temple, yes.
Did they say anything else about what would be needed or useful for ghasts, vampire spawn, ghouls and zombies?(other then holy water) Don't wanna go unprepared.
Remember I need three of you to claim vials of holy water that Hagrym purchased.
Garlic, silvered mirrors, wooden stakes come to mind. Also running water and sunlight.
Running water should be easier than sunlight down there! :-/

Galerio can cast disrupt undead, so no need for holy water for him.
We need to get Shandar updated to level three.
Is someone going to kill this last lacedon so we can move this along?
I'd love too, but I'm still a bit wobbly-kneed ad the moment. :P
That post really belonged in game play Naomi. not to quibble.
He took one for the team!
One too many, though.
Oh well, that's what I get for being cocky!
I guess he can now, thanks to Cyric.
woo!! by the skin of your teeth Turv!
Off to America for friend's wedding. Will probably be out of communication for the next five days. Please GM PC me until I'm back. Many thanks.
Tell them congrats Galerio. What part of the country?
OK guys, no more little league soccer rules. Alternate death rules are hereby rescinded. Characters die, get over it. I am trying too hard not to kill characters. Interview will Bill Webb
@ brvheart:
I'll try to have "emergency back up characters" ready to go in case of that most annoying of occupational hazards for adventurers known as "death". Besides, I look at it this way; better my pc than me! :o
Thankfully you arelike my brother's buddy who likes to GM and figures that a good GM's sole purpose is total party kill and loves to have players fighting one another, which makes total party kills all the easier for him. I would never play a character with someone like that as GM!
As me and my brother, and a lot of others, see things: if there's no chance of dying, it's boring. On the other hand, if there's little or no chance of surviving, it's aggravating (to say the least).
Interesting article by the way.
I am ok with the alternate death rules being rescinded, but you have to admit that was awesome in game mechanic that saved Turv's life! forcing a reroll of 1! haha
@Turvijagal My first (and last) TPK was in 1982. It wasn't enjoyable for me or the players so I learned that is not the way I wish to DM. As Gen Lee said "We expect the occasional empty chair". You guys should be challenged, not overpowered to the point of always facing TPK situations. That being said, sometimes you will have to learn when to run!
@Cyric I agree, that was awesome, as long as it is the exception and not the rule. Constantly reversing death should not happen either.
Another thing I'm not keen on is resurrection or any of that. Mostly because I've studied bits of mythology from all over and whenever someone visits the great beyond or any of that, they're completely changed and just can't function around people any more. And it just seems too weird too. That's the main reason I decided against letting my gnome that died in my brother's game coming back from the dead, even though he could have. But that's just my personal preference.
We are playing FGG modules! Of course, we are all going to die...multiple times. That's no biggie for me, DM. I'll grumble for five minutes then figure out another character, lol!
We could take up the mantra of Arthur Dent from the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy (from the BBC years and years ago):
"This is it! We're all going to die!"
He said that rather a lot, actually.
Guys, if you are wounded you need to let your clerics know.
I'm in good shape right now
Tell them congrats Galerio. What part of the country?
I am back. Was in So. Cal area near San Diego. Thanks for running Galerio for me.
Welcome back:) They mostly slept but I made sure Galerio got healed. So you should be fresh on your spells.
Con this weekend super busy, bot me Greg if needed anywhere.
I will be going out of town later this week so will be off Thursday and Friday.
I am out of country till this evening with no access to the maps. Sorry. I read Hagrym gets attacked so I assumed at least one crab is close
They killed those two Ulfgard. No worries, weekends are always slow.
Sorry for the delay everyone; been on a road trip with my Mum to visit family and all that fun stuff.

By my count, we are 100 xp from 4th level!

Just a head's up.
Tomorrow's a Canadian federal election. I'll be doing my bit to help make sure people get to the polls as a volunteer, so I'll probably be out and about all day long.
I should be able to post something later in the evening, though.
