I believe Antas and Grond are the only ones that have not rolled WILL. If they have not by this evening I will for them so we can keep it moving along :)
Just a heads up to everyone. I am heading to the lake on Thursday night. I will try and post but I plan on doing some fishing and hog hunting this weekend so I plan to be outside a lot with my boys. So no promises :)
Jack
Nice way to heighten the tension here Jack ;)
Enjoy your time at the lake!
All,
Once the 4th of July ends I would really like for all of us to pick up the posting a bit to build some momentum up. The story is going to start moving a bit faster in this part as you attempt to figure out the "secret of the house".
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Jack
If Narciso doesn't post I will make sure to bot him before I take off.

Heck I am trying to make it tense just from the in game posts ;)
Sorry for the delay!
Well...this all escalated from them hearing you. This is making for a fun little encounter.
One of the notes I made for the main antagonist in this part of the adventure is he knows the house and rooms intimately as he has walked it so many times throughout his time here. And because he has cast spells on previous occasions to scare intruders off he understands how to best use his tricks to get the best effect. So he can cast spells that are not target specific in the rooms above with out a LOS. I am essentially rolling perception and sense motive for him to figure out where people are and what they are doing above.
I have always liked illusionists as the antagonists...
This has been a fun encounter so far for me :)
Oh yes. So...fun. Just....love...illusionists....
;)

LOL...yea you hate him as a player. But has a DM they are fun to use with a little imagination.

As a player they are not as fun to use against dm assets because they are always disbelieved well before they are effective.
Do I get a disbelieve roll on the spider for interacting with it?
Also I think a sphinx hammer used by dwarves is better since I have dwarven favorite weapon abilities and it seems more in line

I don't play that game. If you cast an illusion spell and write a good description on it and the rolls play out the spell works. It has to work both ways.
I played a RL campaign with a friend of mine that loved Illusionists....probably one of my favorite all time PC's to play in a campaign with. He knew how to use the illusions to his advantage...when 3.5 rolled out and they really did a good job of clarifying the illusion spells he loved it. DM has to play fair and anything I do works in the other direction for you guys.
Yes you do...just make a WILL SAVE roll (DC14).
Illusions can be a nasty tool for a rogue! Since they have to interact with it, create an illusion of a wall/stone/tree/etc and hide behind it. When they come to check it out, you attack.... and since they can't see through the illusion to see you, they are flat-footed.
I am very sorry for your loss Antas... All the best to you and your family.
Take care Antas and my deepest condolences
My condolences Antas. Take as long as you need.
Family first. Always.
Edelsmirge,
Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you and your family are doing well.

Had a crazy weekend due to work starting on Friday. I will have posts up for us tonight.
So again I got pulled into another work call last night that was extended into the wee hours. If all is right in the world I will have a posts up today for us.
Hello?
I am here.
Yep yep....
We're not waiting on me are we?
Sorry guys,
My laptop's SSD drive failed and I am in Vail on vacation. I just got a SSD in this afternoon and was able to get it reimaged off my backup.
I will have some posts up tonight after I get my laptop resync'd. Sorry for the delay.
Jack
Good luck with recovering your info ALLENDM!
Take your time Jack - happ’ly for me this has coincided with an amazingly busy time so I’ve been off the forums...
Whew....had all sorts of issues getting my ONEDRIVE synced back up with my new drive. Google drive was easy but for some reason, ONEDRIVE was just giving me all sorts of issues. I got back from Vail yesterday and was able to sit back down and run through setting up ONEDRIVE on my system again. Finally found the issue with my backup image and was able to remove a few items and got everything to sync up.
Now that I have all my folders and OneNote set back up I am doing much better.
Sorry about all the delays. Was hoping to get a lot of posting in and it didn't work out that way :(
Jack
Not like I have a leg to stand on to be critical about it . . .. <grin>
We deal with what happens, not with what we planned to have happen.
Glad to be back! Looks like Rab got a nice roll (finally) and the group is starting figure some things out about the house. ;)

Absolutely. Just really rare for a SSD to fail like it did and of course it fails while I am on vacation...[Murphy's Law at its best :)]
And I am glad you are back and I am sure everyone else is ;)
I am headed to the beach house next week for our last summer vacation trip but I plan to do a lot of being lazy so barring no more computer failures I will be posting a lot that week.
Jack
I will have posts up for us today.
Jack
Good to hear :)
Seconded!
Been a crazy July...between vacation and travel it was insane. Glad it has finally settled down.
I would really love to see us get through the house by the end of September... fingers crossed but I am not holding my breath :)
Will have posts up today for us. Sorry for the slow responses the last few weeks. Been crazy.
Will have posts up tonight for us. I am going to try and post every day and build up some momentum. I have been hard pressed as of late due to RL (school starting back up and sports starting back up).
I would like to see us get back to posting every weekday (if possible - I know everyone is busy - I am). But I am going to do my best to push the every weekday so we can get this moving as we are getting into a fun part of this adventure.
Thank you ALLENDM - I for one would like to see this one picking up the pace!
I'll do my best to keep up.... :)
I will have posts up today for us.
Wohoo!!
Bumped! Just because :P
I will have posts up today for us.
I got hammered with work over the last few days. Was on a 13 hour bridge call Friday and Saturday and got pulled into another one last night for six hours. Fun stuff...:)
I was trying to post yesterday but we are about to get knee deep into some good stuff so I am having to take my time with the posts. :)
Yes, yes you did! Light on the water, and not our light!!!
Did I see anything in the cellar with my 21 perc
You did...that was a good roll.
That was the post I was working on...I hate just saying you see something... Doesn't help with the tone or mood... You are basically in a old cellar wine room...stone floors, stone and wooden panel walls with wine racks against half of the walls. A stone table inset on the north end. The stone floors are uneven due to the ground settling. There is an musty damp smell and the air is humid but the smell of garbage and excrement is heavy in the air... Bugs, roaches, small water bugs, little spiders, and such scurry about the floor in different spots... Especially by the area with the metal bins.
