Hey everyone. It's January and I'm looking at starting to get back into my games. Things have finally settled a bit in my life so I'm going to slowly start picking things back up over the coming weeks until I am back at full speed.
Wanted to check in and see if we were planning on picking this one back up.
Still here
Here.
WB Jessa!
Bereket has another bite at the apple of coming back, and waiting on
Matthias. Will bot Bereket to get through the dungeon, and once done, you can decide whether you want to bring someone else.
I'm still here.
I'm sorry to do this guys but I'm having trouble keeping up with play by post. With my baby and new job, it's just hard to find time and motivation. It's been great playing with you guys but I need to drop out. I thought I could resume this game but I really can't. I wish you guys all the best!
Sorry to see you go, Matty. It was fun while it lasted.
Agreed, I’m sorry it’s not working out. If it turns out you want to take another swing at it in the future, I can pull you back in.
For now, I’ll keep botting - at this point Bereket and Matthias, and probably Jessa most of the time - but as we approach the end of the dungeon, we will have to recruit. In lieu of opening on the boards, I usually pull from Dak’s channel.
Hey all,
I am one of the new players starting soon so I just wanted to say hi.
Welcome to the game!
Hey! Welcome to the party! Apologies in advance for me being a bit quiet. Been a busy time for me but I am still here.
Hello folks, your new front-liner divine thingamabob and his animal companion friend are dotting in.
Yo!
Welcome!
We don't have that much in the way of loot, but it's a good time to unload it. Still want to buy a party CLW wand if that's okay with folks.
Always down with party healing expenses, no issue here.
Agreed on wand
Okay, some accounting here. We can adjust this, just using it to start a conversation.
Loot total gold value: 6,792.50
Divided 6 ways (including "Party" but not Jess): 1,132.08
Ring of Force value to Hollie: 4,250
Actual gold given to remaining 4 party members and party fund: 508.50
Hollie's "debt" per party member and to party fund (should we choose to track that): 623.58
I realized the Party fund already has 2,087gp. Add 508.50 and subtract 750 for a CLW wand and the fund now has 1,845.5gp.
Clarification: Adopting Lunal's wise plan, we can assign the ring to Hollie and divide the gold amongst the remaining 4 party members. This results in the following:
Hollie - Ring of Force Shield
Total actual gold once remaining loot sold: 2,542.5
Total gold to each of Cator, Lunal, Krovek and Shaedeen: 635.63
***
Original party fund gold balance: 2,087
Less CLW wand: 750
New party fund gold balance: 1337
Hearing no objection, let's make the above plan official. Can you all confirm here that you've claimed your share once you've updated your sheet? Then I'll archive the loot table and we can start collecting again.
Got mine.
Got mine!
Please level yourselves up to 5 when you have a chance. After you examine the bodies in the basement of the garrison, you'll be leveled up.
Level up!

Bookkeeping time - the horses have been returned. It is now up to y'all to figure out how you want to be travelling around. There will be a significant amount of local travel for this next part. Once everyone settles on a method and a maximum "speed" then I know how long everything takes, and I can set up random encounters, etc.
This means if people want to buy horses - now's the time. If you want to use spells to boost your speed, great, I will factor in the speed they travel with and without the spells to determine how far they get before it falls off and when things need to be refreshed.
Another example is like, at level 6, Krovek can turn into a desert giant and get move speed 50 (35 with heavy armor), and have Cator on his shoulder. If that's the preferred method of travel for those two, then they would have an overland speed of 50'. Alternatively, Krovek could turn into a horse, as well.
The speed of Kazaht and Draxtherian must be accounted for as well. You can organize this on discord if you want, but whatever is decided should be plopped here for posterity. :)

GM I accidentally posted with my default alias, CampinCarl9127. Can you please edit the Campaign Info tab and mark that alias as an NPC? It helps to keep my campaign tab clean. Thank you!
I will be largely unavailable starting tomorrow until the following Monday, so about the next 10 days. I may be able to check in briefly on my phone but won't be able to do any long or complicated posts. Please GMPC me as needed.
"On to the next one?"
Not sure if it was an intentional reference or not, but "On to the next one" was the end-of-show mantra for the old "Ghost Hunters" show on Syfy. Very apropos during a haunted house adventure.
@everyone before we open the door, everyone can level up. Treat it like kingmaker/wrath of the righteous if you’ve played them.
1) you get new abilities
2) your current and max hp go up
3) current and max use per day of abilities (bardsong/lay on hands, etc) goes up - but any uses still count for your “per day” requirements.
4) if you add spells known for a particular level, and you have slots left - you can cast that spell, but you don’t get additional levels/slots without a full rest.
You also can’t fill slots for memorized spells either.
You can always rest before opening the door. Ooc it’s (mostly) fine and I won’t punish you in terms of encounters that are missed, etc. That said, the party is in a HAUNTED HOUSE so… make of that what ye will.
Level is done. Have 0 intention of sleeping in this house.

Question for party Any languages you would like me to pick up? I currently have:
Common, Auran, Thassilonian, Draconic, Giant, Goblin, Orc, Sylvan, Elven, Dwarven
Spells being considered
Air Geyser: Great for single target, does notable damage when fall damage is included, and will likely leave them prone as well.
Lightning Bolt: Zip, zap, ow
Sheet Lightning: 20 foot radius daze, great for battlefield control, but does basically no damage.
Draconic Reservoir: A very interesting choice. I could throw this on one of our melee people and then do something like throw a lightning bolt through them, not only protecting them from the damage but then augmenting their melee attacks.
Level up!
Krovek Druid 6
+9 HP
+1 Fort/Ref/Will
+1 BAB
Wild Shape 2/day
+1 Bonus AC while wild-shaped
Wild Shape to large humanoid
+1 3rd level spell

Perception
Survival
Kazaht
+7 HP
+1 Fort/Ref/Will
+1 BAB
+2 Natural Armor
+1 Str/Dex

Could still use feedback from my fellow party members on languages and spells to pick up, even if it's just some raw opinions.
So many languages! Maybe one of Celestial / Abyssal / Infernal? Or Necril since we're dealing with undead?
I vote Lightning Bolt because it's classic and painful and makes Lunal scary. Draconic Reservoir is cool, but Communal Resist Energy is better if there's time to hit multiple allies with it.
To all of my games:
As predicted with the holidays coming up, my posting will become sporadic until the new year rolls around. I will still be checking in at infrequent times, but I cannot commit to checking daily. Please ping me on Discord if a response is needed, or GMPC me as necessary.
I actually think Shaedeen can withdraw while frightened--doesn't require being completely reckless in getting away (compare that to panicked), but I defer to the GM about that.
That is correct. Frightened permits withdrawl.
