Excursions into the Red War (Inactive)

Game Master Greycastle

Welcome, please check in with all of the tabs.

Um, did someone slip me some LSD or is the text actually the color red?

edit: I'll put a screenshot in your map drawing. So weird! Last game with you the text was super small, now its red. Its like you have some special font settings or something, Grey.

It's the Red War!!!

Yeah my text is Red as well. I’m not sure why but we’re gonna go with it lol.

Hmm, maybe there's keywords hidden in campaign names?

Your last one had the word "tiny" and made the text small.

This one has the word "red" and made the text red.

Just a theory hehe.

Just need to finalize Sashah at level 5. Will do today.

I love that theory.

I found some other campaigns with Red in the title and they are also red! Going to ask on forum section later.

Question before I finish my pregame purchases, can I buy a silvered weapon for 100gp, or do I need to spend downtime on it as well?

You should be able to make purchases without spending DT, unless you are making your own silvered weapon via Smith's Tools.

Right, not sure what I was thinking. I am 100% done.

I appologize for the delay. I was waiting on Sashah to update and the week got away from me. Then today I spent quite a while crafting a long post in between breaks at work only to have it disappear on me. I had even copied it half way through to have it on my clip board half way through. All lost. Needless to say, I wasn’t happy.

I’ll rewrite it and get it up some time in the next few hours.

No worries! ^_^ Just excited to start!

Sorry all, I forgot to dot into the gameplay thread.

I am heading off on vacation to Japan for a week, so I will not be posting much until Thursday the 25th. Bot me if needed. Rav will be much more cautious, peppering at range first (with Hunter's Mark, if possible) and if anyone gets too exhausted, he will use lesser restoration to remove that...

See you guys in about a week!

Greycastle, so Sentinel...I took it. If you want to roll my off turn sneak attack for expediency I am ok with that, but I might retcon if I need to use uncanny dodge (also uses reaction). Not sure how best to handle it with pbp.

Ok, will do. You can still decide not to take sentinel if that is what you mean by Retconning it. It hasnt come up so no big deal. If you keep it though, since we are now 5th level, it will be permanent. So you need to decide if you want competition for your reaction.

I'm fine with choosing it as a feat, I meant if you are the one rolling it (since it triggers off of a monster's action) I might decide to use it for uncanny dodge instead. Or we could have me roll it, I was just concerned it might slow things down or make the flow of things confusing in pbp format.

So jamming the lock was maybe the dumbest thing ever, feel free to point that out to Scram, maybe I can still undo it.

I don’t know. This would be a prime example of how they would deal with a zombie horde on Walking Dead.

Scram's definitely my luckiest character, check this out:

1d20 ⇒ 1
1d20 ⇒ 5
1d20 ⇒ 2
1d20 ⇒ 18
1d20 ⇒ 2

Oh hell! ...must have jinxed myself nevermind.

>.< D'oh!

Lol. Just giving the others a chance to check in from holiday. I’ll post something tomorrow more than likely.

No rush. This time of year is rough for all...

Scram...you just got out all your unlucky rolls :-)

Muahaha! Fall alseep in the water!

Sorry guys. Was out of town for the weekend. We’ll wrap this up shortly.

So I know how to wrap us up with this adventure, what are the plans for all of you characterwise? Do you want to continue with them or will you be dropping?

If you wish to continue,
- is there any particular interest in anything specific?
- this adventure will not level you. It will take another four hours of adventure mod to level to 6th. Do you want something shorter or another adventure about the same length? IE a 2hr or 4hr adventure.

I am slowly winding down my time on the boards due to RL insanity, so I am going to withhold commitment to another game (sad to say). Its just since January Ive had a really hard time getting time like I used to, and would like to return to DMing also.

I am down to continue. I think I will continue with Rav!

Sashah, though he should retire from the adventuring life, is ready to go.

Get those old bones movin! ^_^

Uriah would love the opportunity to make more songs.

And make fun of the paladin for getting subdued by succubus.

>.> Sunuva...

EDIT: Killed... it's pronounced KILLED. XD

Debating on Rebuilding Rav as a Oath of the Ancients. I have earned the rebuild from running DDAL 08-07 through DDAL 08-09. Do you think I should? I am feeling like that death from the demon has changed Ravvek's outlook on life...

I am down for more.

Totally ready for more. But for realz, am getting my hands on a crossbow or something with range in it.

Idk Ravv. It depends on the reasoning of the vengeance. Ancients is great though. I personally want to get the rebuild for a much higher level character. You have to DM all of the T1 season 8 official content correct?

Haven’t heard from Anton yet but we certainly have enough to continue although Scram’s cray antics will be missed.

Again is there anything specific we want to try? If not I’ll find a new T2 mod this weekend to work us into.

Scram will definitely be missed

You get two chances for a rebuild. Run all the tier 1 DDAL season 8 mods for a straight rebuild. Run DDAL 08-07 through 08-09 (The first 3 tier 2) and you can rebuild with a free Table F unlock.

I had this whole scene in my head with Ravvek in the druid grove, It is just getting so hard to hold on to that anger...

My thought is that he would still honor his Oath of Vengeance, but would take the new Oath and only benefit from the new one...

Scram will surely be missed, both his skill and his motor-mouth... that rapscallion! ^_^

Are we done with this module, or are we going to have an aftermath / epilogue?

Sorry, I've been busy (getting ready to remodel the kitchen). I'm good to continue to a new adventure.

I have decided that I will rebuild into Oath of the Ancients. It marks the change in Ravvek from being a more self-sufficient warrior into a more party-oriented warrior... This change will be taking place between this mod and the next...

EDIT: The only real change at this level is that hunter's mark goes away, and my Channel Divinity options have changed.

As I am very unfamiliar with the AL exp system, what all will change between this mod and next?

Okay, you need 8 Advancement Checkpoints to level up from tier 2 and up. Rav was lvl 4 in our Forge of Fury game that netted us 8 AP, so I was 4 ACP into lvl 5. That would leave 4 ACP for Rav to level to 6th.

Do you remember if Sashah just made 5th, or if he had any ACP extra?

We are effectively done. I want to figure out which way we are going before I wrap it up so I might tie the adventures together loosely.

So that being said, everyone will get
4 experience check points
4 treasure points
10 DOwn Time Days
1 Reknown
Item Unlock - Saddle of the Cavalier

Nice! Ravvek will level to 6th, and I will work the rebuild into the break between modules. Thanks for running!

I honestly can't seem to figure it out.

Looks by your chronicles that we determined you to be 5th level with 5/8 AP. Since it takes 8 AP to hit 6th, the four you just received would level you to 6th with 1/8 AP toward 7th.

Not sure if you used any previously, but you would also have 8 tier 1 treasure points and 4 tier 2 treasure points.

Don’t forget that when you level in tier two that you also receive 150g

Thank you immensely. Is there a list of things that I can spend these treasure pints on?

EDIT: I have been looking for the last 20 min with no luck.
