Accepted players! Please dot in here and begin your pre-dungeon diving adventure!
You may take this opportunity to get to know one another, figure out party semantics and tactics. I will consider this the 'prep' time before the group heads into the citadel.
Welcome to the The Depths of Dillium Das!
Dotting here! Happy to be around :)
Glad to have you aboard :) Excited to see how this party handles this adventure! With Dragons, Drows, and Bears Oh My!
Greetings to all from the plains of Huth'han.
Dotting. Just a heads up, Rhoman's a bit of a cynic with a dry sense of humor. Looking forward to this :)
Howdy, ya'll.
Oliver tries to get along with everyone... once, even twice. He's not much on third chances though.
This game will be great!
Just for you to know, despite Adornis beeing a gnome, he acts like a dwarf, a meticulous and pride one!
I have a lot of gold to spend... how much do you have to spare? We will need a lot of items if we want to survive this!
Also DM, could you give us a hind if we will be able to return to the civilization or our gear will have to last the hole game (or most part of it)... this will make our chances to survive more realistic!
Once you head down into the depths, you are pretty much removing yourself from society. Think of it as no return unless theirs a cure. Though with it being a mega dungeon, you will have opportunities, though few and rare, to trade. Mega-dungeons have their entire own ecosystem within them, like a little mini world :)
So you should be preparing your characters for a long haul, and treat it as if you're not going to be able to come back for civilization for an extended period of time. This will let the crafting system really shine.
Also any player can craft mundane/common items with a standard craft check.
I will getting the beginning maps ready here in a moment. I got most things laid out already. Just need to make the tokens for everyone and we should be ready to go once the party is assembled :)
Woot! Happy to have been accepted! And awesome so like undermountian. This really should be fun
I just updated the Current map so people can edit it and move their tokens!
If we could get the gameplay thread created and dotted, it would be easier to keep track of discussion thread.
PS: Oliver found the first loot box. :)
Currently working on the intro post :)
But that Loot box is suddenly a Mimic! Oh no!
Alright, Game play thread is open!
I just realized that we don't have a lot of food...and i don't know if everyone went with a ring of nourishment/sustenance (i know i didn't)
I'll just let you know, those rings can't be trusted all the time ;)
THe company will be able to provide a good weeks worth of food for the time being. But then it's left to the players to forage mold and mushrooms! Muahahahaha... *cough*
Need a cleric to conjure food stuffs
Oliver made sure to get a ring, and has a week's worth of food (from his kit). I can buy more, left some gold free for last minute purchases. Tried to make Oliver as self sufficient as possible (self healing, self re-arming). Made his guns living steel too, so if we find something with dirt, they can self-heal as well.
Adornis, do you have any passive checks that I need to know about? For example, walking within 10 feet giving you a automatic check if a trap is nearby?
This also goes for everyone, let me know your automatic and passive checks now :)
Oliver can adjust attitudes by up to 3 levels, not the normal 2, on a diplomacy check. That means he can make hostile people friendly.
@Oliver Ebonlocke: Well you definitely meant it when you said you were going to make him quite dapper!
Of course. With my luck, there will be zero opportunity for diplomacy. However, if there is, he'll be good at it. :) On a take 10, he can get a hostile person to consider his words. :) On an 18 he can make them friendly. :)
You never know what lurks beneath Dillium Das! I believe it may be a handy skill... *ahem*
:)
For a quick summation of Rhoman Ke (besides being cynical and dry-humored) he may also be a bit morbid. Like a barbarian that won't can't rage. He does believe that the only way he can regain his honor is to either complete this task or die in battle (not suicidal, no honor in that). It'll place an interesting internal conflict, as he'll constantly be wanting to take on monsters and such but will need to reconcile that with the need to accomplish the task given him by his people.
Think someone along the lines of Zuko, actually. Except without the family issues. :)
Haha... Love Zuko.
MY HONOR!
I'll have to start doing acrobatic/martial arts moves when performing spells.
Edit: I should also add that I brought a fine steed of the riders of Huth'han (see what i did there) for our esteemed adventurers. Not having much capital and a very different economy than all the other lands, the proud people of Huth'han have given some of their best horses as companions to the brave adventurers. Their usefulness will remain to be seen, but if anyone has read the "Ranger's Apprentice" series...well, that's what type of horses these are modeled after.
After all, no true warrior of Huth'han would go to battle without his horse.
Basically:
Perception +7 for traps, +4 to concealed objects and hear conversations
10 ft from trap, immediate Perception
This should be a fun group.
I am gunning for Augar to be a outcast dwarven mystic who the other dwarves find a bit odd. I mean he is a bookbinder and scribe!
Also in a pinch horses can be eaten!
doting, sorry for taking so long.

Haha, that is true!
A brief explanation on the horses: while thinking about Rhoman being, more or less, a bit of a social pariah among his own people, it occurred to me he may have been difficult to find and may have had to travel very far very fast to be on time for the expedition. Now, I'm no historian, but I had read one time how nomads like Native Americans and Mongolians (even the good ol' American cowboy) would travel with multiple horses per person, so as to be able to travel long distances without killing their means of transportation. From there, I figured we might as well not let them go to waste, and based on the description of our destination, these horses might easily fit in.
Worst case scenario, a) food, b) Han solo's taun taun or c) trap finders. Personally, I have this weird idea that we'll need some weight for a counter-balance, on a large block and tackle.
Guys, Adornis is used to take control of situations (his whole background is around being on control), so I am roleplaying him this way.
This can cause him to talk a lot and try to be the “boss”, but if you feel that it is getting out of control, or if I am pushing too hard, please let me know, since I want all of us to have fun!
Sorry for the lack of a map for the current map, I'm actually in the process of translating all the maps I have into a digital form that will make this 10 times easier to move your tokens around without accidentally clicking or moving something.
Quick question, do you like to go old school blue? Or a bit more colorful and modern for the maps?
Old school is fine with me
Either or is fine. I usually do digital maps with grids over them, personally, when running, but as long as the map has details on it, I don't mind if it's fully colored in or not.
Whatever gets the job done is fine.

Oliver has no issue with anyone being the boss, until they do something stupid. Then he'll rap them over the head with a pistol butt. :)
I'm good with it, l never make a good leader
Take a gander at the current map, see if you like it, and if its detailed enough.
I certainly like the way the map looks
Looks good.
Great map! But we are seeing a lot of undiscovered stuff...
That will be changed :) No worries there!
@DM: Just noticed that Adornis forgot to buy his mundane adventure/dungeoneering itens... I left Money to buy this stuff but since had no time at that moment... do you mind for me to buy it now and pretend that Adornis carried it in his backpack since the beggining?
Since were so early into the session, I'm fine with it. Go ahead and pretend you had it from the beginning :)
Hey everyone! Just wanted to ask a big favor from you all!
Could you add your HP amount, Defenses and saves to show up on your posts in your alias?
I just need your HP Current/Max, your AC, Touch, Flat, CMD, CMD flat, Fort, Reflex, Will, and Perception bonus.
It'll make it super easier for me to reference the stats I need without having to look at your profiles every time. Thanks!
To those who already have it up there, thanks :)
So, this might be a good time to bring it up...thoughts on politics, everyone?
Anyone have thoughts on the politics in the group? Does the group want to play that bit up or be left to the side for now?
Also do apologize if that encounter was a bit awkward!
Oliver, being a Paladin, would avoid political stuff.
If others wish to, that's perfectly fine.
Adornis doesn't give a f*** about politics also... but could be a mediator. Also his country is kind of neutral right?
Roet is a pacifist monk. He won't enter in any arguments at all, especially about country politics.
