GM Dak - Mummy's Mask

Game Master Dakcenturi

Fitliss, you are right, when the GM posting rate drops then everyone's does.

Useless with a bow??? Well, if you guys would do a better job defeating our enemies then I wouldn't have to use the bow. :-)

As for closing the recruitment thread, sounds good to me.

And the 19th start date (or earlier) sounds good to me.

Put away that stick ... reports of my demise are premature. G'nock, reporting for duty.

Oh, and I totally disagree about Irakelesh's being usless with a bow ... comic relief can be a huge morale booster!

Went ahead and setup the Roll20 page. Jump on and let me know who you are so I can assign you your token.

More info to come.

I posted a chat message in Roll20.page. Even though I expect to have trouble accessing roll20 from work, I'm looking forward to using it. I've been looking forward for a chance to try it out.

I have done it with Aliva as well.

I'm in

So, just some general notes as we get ready to start things up.

Looks like you all have been using Block Initiative, so that is good since that is what I use. Also, have seen spoilers for skill DCs which is what I do as well. As far as the maps, I'll use Roll20 to keep track of health and placement, but that is it. If we have a need, I can post a screenshot of the Roll20 map after each round for people who have issues accessing it so that they can reference placement.

This isn't a requirement, but something I've put together after the forums were all crazy not too long ago. I have a Discord setup so we can communicate outside of the forums if needed, should that sort of thing happen again. Again, not required, but can be helpful. Link here.

Just to make sure we are on the same page, this is what I have as far as progress thus far:

Moonday, 26th of Pharast - Group forums Pharasma's Seekers. Attend lottery and assigned Tomb of Akhentepi. Explore and loot tomb. Meet other expedition groups at the Tooth & Hookah.

Toilday, 27th of Pharast - Assigned the House of Pentheru from the lottery. Explore and loot the house.

Wealday, 28th of Pharast - Assigned the Sanctum of the Erudite Eye from the lottery.

Currently in some ruins being attacked by Thugs. Looks like Fitliss and Ai'sha are entangled currently and Ai'sha is down 7 HP. G'nock is the last remaining action for the current round. Anything I missed?

Once G'nock gets a post in for the round. I will kick things off for you all to resume.

Lurker chiming in here - glad to see GM Dak was able to take your game on. I was in a game that kept shedding GM's without explanation, so I could feel your pain, just couldn't do anything to ease it. Our game lasted several years and only died its last death a few months ago. Here's to many more years for your game here.

Thanks Pixie Rogue!

That all looks right to me. There should probably be some mention of that plot relic, I mean random artifact we'll probably never actually see, that keeps popping up.

@G'nock Don't forget to join Roll20, so I can give you access to move your character on there.

A quick question as I wasn't tracking it in depth as I read through things. Have you sold off all the loot you had found up to this point or is there anything you were still holding on to? Not concerned with items yo found and kept to use, more if there was loot you intended to sell but hadn't.

I have a loot sheet I've always used in my games currently linked up top, but I saw you all created one as well. If you prefer to continue using your own loot sheet let me know and I will add it as a link up top instead.

I'm in (at d20)!

As I'm sure you all are aware, the holiday's are quickly approaching. The holiday season generally brings a bit of slowness with posting from people as they travel and take time to themselves or with family. I will be around, with the possible exception of Christmas day, so as long as people are posting I will do the same, but if you plan to be away then I hope you enjoy your holiday.

If you do plan to be away, please let me know so that if needed I can bot you accordingly.

I know I've just started with you all, but the pace has been great so far. After the new year, I hope we can keep things moving strong!

I should be around at least once a day to post

I also will be around at least once per day to post.

Same for me

Currently on vacation, but most days true for me as well; I'll try to give a heads-up for days I'll be out.

Travelling tomorrow; not sure if one way or the other if I can post, but feel free to bot me if it helps things progress.

Happy Holidays everyone! Merry Christmas to those celebrating today.

Merry Christmas to all here or Holidays to those who don't celebrate the fat man.

Happy Boxing day / St. Stephen's day to all.

Boxing day here in Canada

So I have listened to a Podcast finish the first book, we have missed out on a lot of RP that does take place, we should know that other groups have been attacked in the Dead City.

that is OOC and I can separate it no issue GM

Missed out on RP? Hopefully nothing that is game changing. And hopefully we can do more RP going forward.

Yeah, from what I saw you only had the one interaction with the other groups. In any case, nothing majorly game changing though.

Just some character knowledge from what I remember.

All I remember about that interaction is that Irakelesh failed at flirting, and Fitliss made some friends. Think we bought G’nock’s bow off of them too.

So off to the site or back to town? What are you doing with your prisoner?

That sounds good to me, as long as finding the guard won't take too long.

To the guard with the Prisoner and then the site?

Happy new year all!

Just to note before we jump into a new dungeon, half the party is injured to varying degrees.

My HP is correct and I'm still suffering from 2 dexterity damage. I took 3 points 'yesterday' (which was really 7/3/18) and I healed one overnight. I've updated my stat line.

Aniva doesn't have a channel till next level

One last thing while we wait for your next steps. I didn't recall seeing mention of this, but I may have missed it. Do you have a standard marching order for the group? What about a standard procedure for opening new doors? IE X person listens at the door, X person checks for traps, etc.

We've got a marching order, but I don't remember it. As for healing, Fitliss has a life link to most of the party at this point. Who else is injured?

Ai'sha is at 11/27 currently, I don't think she is life linked either.

I don't remember the marching order, but I'd say G'nock (looking for traps), Fitliss, Aliva, Ai'sha, Irakelesh is reasonable?

We never had a procedure for opening doors, I think.

I think Aliva is good, I will have to go back through. Aliva will take the Lead, G'Nock should be rear as that makes sense to me.

I've got Aliva at 16/22, Ai'sha at 11/27 and Fitliss at 12/22.

So for general marching order Aliva, Fitliss, Ai'sha, Irakelesh, G'nock? Then door opening would be G'nock checking things out then back to normal marching order?

Sure

That order looks good. I do have trap sense +1 as well.

One other thing to consider, since it will soon become important. From what you can tell this temple has no light inside. With no windows and none of you having Darkvision you may want to have some form of light in use to be able to see.

I have a torch. However, we lit the torch and bashed a monster with it in our last tomb. Does that "use up" the torch or it is still usable?

Aliva can cast Light, we should have Torches.

Fitliss is a Gnome, they have low light vision. But you are right, torches and Sun rods

After using it in the previous tomb plus combat usage I would say it is used up.

As far as the light, just let me know who will have what kind of light once combat is over and you decide where to head next.

Will bot G’Nock to move us forward if he doesn’t have a chance to post before tomorrow morning.

Back, catching up ...
As for marching order, G'nock makes sense at the back as an archer, but toward the front as a trap finder ... either way is ok by me.

By the way, I went back to read the posts and see how many charges of the wand of CLW we still have left.

Turns out we only used it three times in total, once during the centipede fight and twice after the sandman(sandwoman?).

So 47 charges left.
