Wardens of the Righteous (Inactive)

Game Master Jesse Heinig

It'll be the fire equivalent of workshop elves.

Start of Gauntlgrym!

I've had a pretty wretched week. Sorry for the delays! I am going to do my best to catch up tomorrow.

Hope it's all uphill from here.

Good news! I got a new map working on Roll20, despite its attempts to thwart me, and became slightly more skilled in the process. I'm setting up your tokens on the new location now - the entrance to Eagle Knight Keep.

Bad news is, I haven't seen any action from the DM of our sister game, Wrath of the Righteous. I'm going to poke and see if I can get a response. If not, well, we'll figure out what to do next!

I'll attach the link in the campaign info and the gameplay thread - note, I had to make an all-new map so I'll need to relink your tokens before you can move them. When you drop in just sound off which character you're playing one more time and I'll relink them.

Merlin!

Did you say we were to level up before this dungeon delve? ;)

2nd level?.....

Merlin: I meant sound off over on the Roll20 chat if you can't move your token.

Saris: This is the the delve that gets you to level 2. :)

Oops!...lol.

lol

I'll be on vacation from tomorrow through new years. I'll try to post during that time, but I may miss days

At the in-laws for the holidays, should be back in 2 days!

Have fun

Sorry about the long weekend - kinda got away from me!

You guys are almost out of the dark!

Just so everyone knows, since I took over the other group (the Wrath team), I'm going to make a couple of changes to the game, to suit my own fickle whims. Both groups will be getting these updates. This will happen when we reach level 2, and will allow you to do some rebuilding, so you might wanna think about it in advance!

• Everyone will be going up to 20 point characters instead of 15 points.

• We'll be using Background Skills, so if you don't have those, you'll get 'em. This may mean you can move some Craft skills or the like to Background Skills, and use those ranks elsewhere on Adventuring Skills.

• The Wardens will get Mythic Tiers, just like the Wrath team, at the same breakpoint (upon reaching level 6).

Cheers!

Thanks, Azura. And thank you!
I may retool Merlin a bit, but stay the same character.

Cool, sounds like it will be fun.

I am liking the theme of this

Awesome!

That sounds great, Azura! It'll be nice to have a bit more flexibility for my very limited skill points. Heh heh!

I'll probably keep Iomenna's build largely the same from lvl 1, but I may move in some different directions than originally planned for later levels.

I was going to change Sario last night then decided to wait a bit longer

Cool. This character will really come online when Mythic hits. Any ETA on the levelup?

Soon (TM). You basically need to rescue the Eagle Watch Knights here, one way or another - or leave them to be devoured by the demons, your choice! Then when you return to Defender's Heart you'll get xp for defeating enemies, for rescuing the knights, and for your first settlement turn, which will push you to level 2.

2nd level is my favorite level....

I take it nobody's going to make a Know (Planes) check to figure out what that is?

Well, neither Merlin, Sario, or Iomenna have any ranks in Knowledge (planes), so... ouch!

I figured that's what was happening; which is why Luci suggested Darya go up - she knows that Darya knows more about demons than her.

Ya I should have taken a rank in it.

Checking in now

Will go up if it would take too long to run around. let me know which way would make more sense and I'll get moving.

So since we are getting more ability points and a few other cool things for hitting level 2, can I change a few things with Sario?

I will just go straight druid, no archetype, So she can be more of a caster. I will switch her up to Storm nature Bond instead of Badlands.

As long as that is okay with you Azura

Yes, when we hit level 2 (after this craziness) everyone can do a little tweaking. Having more points means that certain builds are more viable so I expect people will want to "settle in" their characters in a slightly different form.

Man the druid has a crappy weapon list, even looking at guides building a mostly caster druid is hard as well

I am actually playing a caster druid in an all Orc campaign. If you wanted to view him for ideas; his name is Arkhan Silvanesti.

Out of town this weekend - back Monday!

Interesting, they are pretty good at battle field control with the spells they have, I will probably try that with Sario as well.

I didn't pick an Archetype

Being able to spontaneously cast your domains spells is just sweet.
And at 9th, you will get a second domain, although their domain selection list is limited; they are still good.
Arkhan is my favorite character (along with my Slums Shaman in my Hell's Rebels home game) that I currently have going.

I am still having trouble fully realizing Merlin, as of yet.
The new changes at second may help...lol.

I find 15 point is hard to make a character that you like since it is pretty limited, you cannot have 1 good score because the rest will suffer, but then again is the game really balanced around having all good scores and steam rolling?

Would the game be more harder and the CR system work better with 15 point buy instead of 25?

I like 20 point buys, but, yes, at higher levels, the CR can't match up with a party of 6.

20 is the balance between challenge and viable fun characters from level 1, unless you play a class that works mostly off of one or two abilities

Like the fighter

I see Merlin more as a Fighter, but I hust cant not use magic. Lol.

I have never really build a battle Oracle

My first attempt. The 20 point buy will help a lot.

And now it's time to go to level 2!

As discussed before, this is also your opportunity to go up to 20 points, to pick background skills, and to make changes if you aren't super-happy with your character!

I'll sort that out in the morning, sidetracked by other stuff at the moment.

I cant remember, Are we rolling hp, or doing something special?

HP in case we are rolling: 1d12 ⇒ 7

Just using average rounded up, so:

HIT POINTS BY HIT DIE TYPE
d4 = 3
d6 = 4
d8 = 5
d10 = 6
d12 = 7

There we go - updated Luci to 20 point buy and Level 2. Didn't do anything with Background Skills because I only remembered that they were an option as I was typing this. If I don't say anything about them in the next day or so, assume I'm not using them.

EDIT: There we go - put the background skill points into Craft (Carpentry) (her dad's a carpenter) and Appraise (she dated a jeweler's daughter).
