Hi all, welcome to the Discussion Thread.
The cast is as follows:
Healaugh - Halfling Bard
Ynyr - Human Artificer
Ddraig Goch - Dragonborn Paladin (the only one in the village!)
Barbarian (Aubrey)
Druid (Celestial Healer)
Please post any questions here.
How much of a rebuild can I do with Healaugh, assuming I don't change his basic stats?
Also, what's the deal on the magic item front? Do we all get the level 3, level 4, level 5 magic items?
In Healaugh's case, he's hanging onto his javelin, but he might want to alter his wand or possibly try and enchant his hurdy gurdy.
As already discussed, he'll be swapping out his Veteran's armour for Skald's armour.

How much were you thinking of rebuilding?
Sorry, only the newcomers get the new magic items. The rest of you keep the ones you have (Healaugh already has a higher level one of course).

Feats and powers. When I built him there were no particularly appropriate bard specific feats and the powers were very limited. Magic stuff is fine - I just wanted to be clear :D
OK, that's fine.
Celestial - I'll get back to you on Rituals. Did I make a ruling on this before? I can't remember.
Thanks. I'll post him up for you to pick over sometime in the next couple of days.
Re: rituals - I don't think you did. It wasn't that relevant as the only person who could use them was Healaugh.
Oh - and welcome to the happy land of random accents Celestial and Aubrey :D
@Celestial Healer
An Elf Druid is perfect; I'll give you some background to the setting that may help.
Point buy.
Everything is good - I can't think of anything offhand that might be off-limits, but I'll look over once your characters are up.
How is everyone doing?
Rituals - how about you get your starting ones for your class, and then 1 of level 2, 3, 4?
Healaugh would like that. It means he gets two more. I'll try and get him properly up this afternoon for you to poke at.
New look Healaugh is up. Please poke at will.
Looks good to me. The new bard rituals really play to the archetype. Very nice.
Warsong seems a bit off - a melee power with the implement keyword for a bard. Does he hit people with his wand?
And the Master wand of Eyebite - I can't remember if this allows you to cast Eyebite if it's not on your class list already. Or is that the idea? I haven't read up on magic items for ages.
Master's wands of whatever they are all allow you to cast the whatever it is as an encounter power. As far as I can see, as long as you can wield the implement, you can use the power.
Warsong uses melee weapon. In this case, his lightning javelin. I just copied it down wrong and have now amended it.
He's also changed to Virtue of Valor as it just seemed more like him and the temp hp is always good. Particularly with Ddraig in the party.

Okay, the stats are in, although I need to know if I have any left over wealth/consumables/etc. Also still working on the background (which always takes the longest).
All of this made me realize how much Primal Power would help players of druids. If I had to make him much higher in level, I'd probably run out of feats to take. Now I can't wait for it.
In terms of background the game is set in a homebrew version of the Moonshae Isles from the Forgotten Realms with some Slaine, Norse saga pastiche, and Earthsea thrown in.
Elves are reclusive and rare, regarded with superstitious awe in some regions. The high elves/eladrin have their own kingdom, the wild/wood elves have various chiefdoms.
Very cool pic for Ghadmyr.
I'll start the game thread with the gang at a local hostelry soon. Ddraig, Ynyr, and Healaugh are still together from their previous adventure. departed are the following: Greylan has gone back to Synnoria, Darvyl has probably taken on some mercenary work, and presumably Nechtan has been released from his obligation to Healaugh.
The action of "Twisted Night" took place on the island of Gwynneth, and now we move to the island of Snowdown.
Do you want to have Ghadmyr part of the group already, or be separate at the beginning? What do people think?
Whatever works best for Ghadmyr.
Healaugh's in the throes of composition and probably driving Ynyr and Ddraig mildly nuts.
I'll post a Game Thread later on, at the Green Briar Inn, where you are all staying.
Cool.
Just revamping Ynyr for the start.
What can I do about magic items? Since we got none in the last adventure and no money either?
Should he not have a level 5 item to add to his collection?
I keep meaning to give you your monetary reward. Apologies for that.
There will be magical items in this adventure. There were in the last one but the group didn't find them.
What did we miss? (Just curious, not nagging at all).
Sven had 1 or 2 items, and Inge had an item or 2 as well as ritual scrolls.
There's no way Healaugh would have taken anything from Sven - that would be taking grave goods he'd need in the afterlife. And Inge - werl. He had mixed feelings about her.
That's OK then!
That's the way it goes. I think you guys are pretty effective already! There will be more treasure in this one, I promises, precious.
You can have any amount of mundane equipment and 680gp to spend on magical, alchemical, pets etc etc.
Healaugh, Ynyr and Ddraig, you have 100gp each from Twisted Night.
How nice of the King, particularly considering we let the pirates go. Why did we do that exactly?
Healaugh will add it to his sock.
So, Ghadmyr and Macmoor are away for the weekend. That's cool. Healaugh should probably sing a cheery song to heal everyone of their embarrassment damage.
Likewise :)
Have a good time, wherever you're going. I'm spending next week panicking about Sweeney Todd - not that it needs my panic as it looks good, but tradition dictates.
I am indeed. Fabes is playing the Judge. It's a wonderful show, but blimey, it's hard.
You don't have to sing "Bumbumbumbumbumbum" ad infinitum.
No, I just have to stay sane in the face of Committee mingled pity and indifference. Or rather, indifference, pity and unctuous attempts to make me do it the way they'd do it if they were directing it.
Hi all, getting married on Sunday - updates will be even more erratic than my usual haphazardness.
Hi gang, just to let you know that I'm introducing a house rule (soon to become official) that Daily Magic Item powers are exactly that; there is no longer a limit on using 1 per milestone.
Thought I would put this here, so as not to clog up the game thread. As you may have gathered, the White Boar is on your side in this battle. How it works it thus:
The White Boar has been statted out as a companion character. I will place his stats here for convenience. He will be controlled by each of you in turn. What this means is that when it comes to the White Boar in the init order, I will ask one of you to declare its actions. Here are its stats:

Hi gang, hope you've enjoyed the game. Just to let you know that I will in all likelihood be winding down this game once you have completed your mission.
They are great characters but I am a bit burnt out, with running another 4E game online, and one in rl, as well as playing several PbPs.
I may start a Dark Sun game in the future, and you are all welcome to get first dibs on that, when and if I launch it.
