That part I bolded is a great point. Like I said it has been a long time since I have been a DM and it is also the reason I am running a one shot adventure vs an AP or homebrew campaign. I want to test the waters and see where I need to improve.
Yup, hence my eagerness to give feedback. =)
Okay, this might be one of those situations that shatters the "fluff V crunch" fallacy. DM, Please describe our immediate environment in as much detail as you can manage.
Very well then, since you have destroyed the odd door. You heard the sounds of frightened voices and running feet. There were faint lights far to the north. Which as it turns out was an illusionary hallway intended to make PC's run down the hallway and fall to your death into a pool of lava.
The walls of the real hallway are white alabaster and the floor is perfectly smooth grey marble the whole hallway(which is about 50' long)is actually a giant balanced team which will begin to tip once the weight of a character is applied at least 30 feet from the door.
If you have any further queries please feel free to ask.

If you have any further queries please feel free to ask.
What might we find if we tried tipping the floor the other direction (as in, tip the teeter-totter downward, but downward toward beneath our end of the hall)? Is that even possible?
Skiron: Nice thought, however the floor is designed to tip in one direction only. That would be towards the lava.
Great Scott! The Astonishing ADD-Man is at it again!
Two pitsalong the way will be found to lead to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall."
How else DOES one "check" a wall...?
Ask yourself this, what would you check a wall for?
And if you have already searched for it in your current locale it must be somewhere else

Okey-dokey, I've just been blindsided - would you mind clarifying to me what just happened? I'm not certain I'm clear (granted, I have not been having a great day).
Yes, the dollhouse furniture is nifty.
Ravens discovered the secret door was back in the pit traps we bypassed. Jeneva and Ta'ruk went back to investigate Ravens hollering. We all made splinters of the pews to have a safe base to stand in the last pit trap. Ta'ruk just went down to check out the secret door and opened it. Haze in the hallway and he just tossed a piece of pew into the hallway to try to set off the inevitable trap.
Roger - is my Seugathi still around, by the way (i.e. has it still been less than 9 minutes since I summoned it)?
Your summoned monsters are your responsibility, but I would say it's been more than 9 minutes what with the destruction of my churches pews and such.

Yes, but judging in-game time would necessarily be yours.

Skiron: No need for a knowledge check yet, Your 3 creatures form behind the regal lich and attack, hitting him 3 times...He is unhappy, he moves forward 5' and cast a spell at you [dice=Will DC21]1d20+6. He hits you with Dominate Person.
He wants you to have your monsters to attack Ta'ruk and Ravens
Oh, no, it's the Puppetmastermaster Scenario! It looks bad - but wait...I'm a Tiefling - a "Native Outsider". If I comprehend some of the kind of talk that drove Aasimar and Tieflings out of Organized Play, doesn't that make me immune to "person" spells?
I'd like to know (assuming it's now safe to inquire); what was the deal with that room that caused my Seugathi to shift alignment?
So going thorough the mists once switches your alignment and sex. Back in 1E(Which this module is) being changed from a man to a woman was a big deal.
As for your other point, I am not sure. Let me look it up.
EDIT: It looks like you are correct on the "Person" spells affecting outsiders. I will change his action.
Thank you for the notice. I will be incommunicado from fri afternoon till sunday
Back. Was unexpectedly sick Sunday and Monday, spent all of yesterday making up for lost time.
I will give Skiron till late afternoon to post.
I like the way you're doing combat. Flat out saying whose turn it is. It helps us keep from getting bogged down and from stagnating because no one knows who is supposed to go.
Simon: I am glad thats working out. I too have been in games where I am posting on the discussion thread "So...uh whose turn is it" So I stole borrowed this idea from my DM in my Skull and Shackles game.

I'm here. I did check in a while ago, but nothing had happened at that point. I'm presently on East Coast time. Can I retcon what you said I did (since the Mothmen didn't attack yet)? If so, I'd say I actually imbibe a points of healing, and have my Mothmen bestow greater invisibility on myself, Jeneva, and Ravens.
Skiron: Not a problem, let me make a couple of changes and I will post in gameplay...BTW that is a great move as I had all kinda fun ready to go
Jeneva: Well you don't have to be if you don't want to...I mean it's totally up to you.
No I am 100% okay with being invisible. I just like quoting OOTS =)
I could be wrong, but I don't think the one missile at each image thing works. MM has a target of creature(s). The images are not creatures. The lich even knows their illusions, he just doesn't know which is the real creature.
That being said every missile would unerringly strike the real target and not the image.
Simon: I have been playing that you can target individual creatures. Perhaps it is a leftover rule from a previous edition. Either way, we will say you can target individual missiles.

Fair enough.
I said this earlier but... I will be incommunicado fri 4pm till sunday night or monday morning.
Probably for the best. Heavy snows expected this weekend, with a chance of power loss. I'm hoping to high heaven it doesn't but there's the chance.
Looks like my plans got cancelled. Good luck Orthos and anyone else who is on the east coast.
So after resting here is how I see you.
Ravens/Skiron: Full Hp/No con drain
Jeneva: 57 hp/1 pt con drain
Ta'ruk: 60 hp/ 1 con drain
Molly: 1 str. drain
Simon: 19 hp/ 2 con drain
You all have 3 cure mod potions and 7 CLW scrolls.
Please correct me if you find errors.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Ta'ruk is correct.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Yep. though I'm going to use the salve to get one con back for myself then the other will return upon resting. Molly's will return on resting. By tomorrow everything should be back to normal.
I'll dole out some cure serious wounds infusions for Jeneva and Ta'ruk before retiring for the night
[dice=Ta'ruk's]3d8+9
[dice=Jeneva's]3d8+9
Ta' ruk is down 9pts. You may want to hit Simon.
Updated
Is everyone ready to head back indoors?
Did we rest one day or two? If it's two, then my con drain is gone and I am at full hp. Either way, I'm ready to go back in.
Edit: everything is updated except for my attacks which reflect haste.
Ready.
Ta'ruk: That is totally up to you guys.
All: All traps inside have been reset, but you know where they at.
I suggest we wait until everyone's con is fully restored as long as there is no threat. We need all of the hp we can get.
Ok then claps hands it is done
