1) One permanent Hero Point may be used to avoid a final death scenario allowing a narrow cinematic escape,
2) One temporary Hero Point may be used if you are between -1 and -9 hit points to stabilize yourself to prevent further blood loss,
3) Temporary Hero Points may be expended to power Feats. These grant a lasting bonus for a one scene or one round duration depending on the feat description,
4) One temporary Hero Point grants a character a chance to supplement their d20 roll by 1d6 and add the result (whatever it was - no re-roll) to the d20 result,
I get the feeling that originally Shadow had a bunch of groups roaming around the same dungeons, occasionally leaving traces that make for excellent atmosphere for the other teams xD
Also, speaking of crunchy bits that should be settled soonish:
Are we keeping anything besides the circlet and (2) CMW potions? The cloak probably?
Who wants to erm... hold on to the cloak? Just Dev? I feel like our fighter should have it to help prevent mind control xD
edit: I keep forgetting about that wand with the transmutation aura xD
We'll hold on to that for a bit, maybe slapping people with it to figure out what it does...

We are definitely keeping the cloak. All of us will end up wanting one sooner or later.
The take was 2,150 minus amounts for whatever you decide to keep (posting on phone so not sure if the cloak is included in that total...) plus whatever value of the non magical items were.
I will advance is to the Noble House when I arrive home from work tonight.

OK, I'm up and running at 3rd.
Pink-eye? Meridian? If I take the Handy Haversack and 40 of the crossbow bolts, are you two OK splitting the rest of the money and potions, + etc...? Stuff?

That 2150 probably includes everything but the circlet.
For now, I'll jot down 1750gp (2150 -400 for the cloak)
HP 19/32, Fort +4, Ref +5, Will +5 Shift 3/4, Spells- 1st: 5/7, 2nd: 5/5 Active effects: Lowlight vision, See In Darkness, Life Link (Meridian, Zabeth, Frank, Kana)
Weather has me unable to post much right now. Please bot me as needed.
BTW, about the loot from the cultists:
If the 1750 for everything but the circlet and and cloak is correct (including potions and wand), and if we include the 75 (15 x 5 people) from Mickey P.'s quest to team girl-power, then we have about 4k gold to split + 1 cloak of resistance +1.
Counting the cloak as 500gp of one share, we'd each get 564 gp and 5 sp minus the value of the mundane items we wanted to keep
(e.g. EE would get 564.5-12.5 = 552gp 'cause the alchemy crafting kit would've sold for 12.5)
Any comments, complaints, or corrections about the loot list before we get our 500+ gp each?
(for example, would could just keep most of the cash in one pot and take turns buying nice/expensive things...)

I don't really mind, as long as the share's fair, no problem. I would defo pool for a CLW wand if, RP wise, we decide to stick together.
So we have two options: (1) finish the combat out and I can either DMPC or your group can control the former PCs or (2) have me simply proceed forward with a scenario that I think best fits the current narrative.

SO, on the throey that a future favor may be more valuable than shaking loose a few coins, this is what I was going to post in the gameplay thread. I thought I should bounce it off of the party first...

"We do not come seeking reward, nor advantage over a family that has just suffered such a loss. It is only what honorable beings should do.
That said, should we need a prominent voice to vouch for such honor, some time in the future, reasonable support would be welcome. Gods grant that never comes to pass.
In such case, I am Viorr of Valenar, and these are my companions,"
Viorr will make sure that the servant has everyone's names.
"Convey our sympathy to your master, and we will let the household to its grief."
He finishes with a polite bow, and steps back.

Sounds fine, Viorr.
Shadow, I don't know what you mean. Are you sure you were talking to me?
OK, let me spoiler what I am proposing so no one feels slighted.
Pink-Eye, GAUNTLET, and Meridian:
The PCs LOSE the battle but deliver a devastating blow to the Emerald Claw forces. The Emerald Claw captures the entire group when their Guards rally and undead converge. The females and d'Oriens are sent back to whatever Enclave this faction came from to be sold as slaves or ransomed back to House d'Orien. The rest of you as "monsters" are kept at the dig site, it is clear that they plan on bringing in a more senior Wizard to "Dominate" the three of to be used as fodder for their next destination, into the Mournlands! What the Emerald Claw does not know is that Failin went back to Rhukaan Draal and contacted House Cannith to inform Lady d'Vown to inform her of what has taken place, that you have fallen into the hands of Emerald Claw agents. The message takes some time to reach her but she quickly asks for a rescue group to be dispatched, the PC's from table II...some of which already know you.
A note about Combats and the size of this group. In the past, I have been pretty laissez-faire about posting rates and frequency. This is because of the nature of my life.
However, moving forward I will have to be a bit more strict during combats. I am not going to have a required posting rate, BUT, when I post I will bot people to move things along. Otherwise we will get bogged down terribly.
Please have all stats in your Profile so I can see them, AC, HP, AC, saves, etc. etc. so if I have to bot I can do so quickly. Thanks!
Meridian, Pink-Eye and Gauntlet, within a week or two I will have a spoielr post up for you all, had a brainstorm about connections so I need to hold off before I start you all up once more.
Okay, now that I know we'll get 15gp each (including the 3 guys that were downstairs), I'll just announce my estimate of our spoils xD
the mundane loot was worth about 2191gp
selling all the magic loot minus the circlet and cloak of resistance yields about 1750
Mickey gave us 15gp each
and treating the cloak as worth 500gp in a share brings the total per share to 570gp with 1gp left over.
I think Zabeth should probably get it for bribing the goblin back there xD

Shall we safely assume we sell the loot and split the money?
