GM Dak - War for the Crown 2

Game Master Dakcenturi

Ghost Rats! That would have been horrible.

Woah, an intelligent rat! It's like Pinky and the Brain!

Is it 40 feet up on the ceiling?

He is 40ft up from the bottom floor. Each level up from the steps is 5 ft up.

EDIT: @ GM Dak--I have Capricia down 5 hp. I'll recheck her total after lunch.

Yep, she was only down 5 hps (2 + 5 channel + 8 CLW = 15). After the rat swarm, she's at 10/20.

Heh--I guess it was a long lunch! ;)

flaming sphere will be a lovely LOVELY thing Bimble!

Hi all. I apologize, but I unexpectedly lost internet last weekend, and it hasn't yet returned. That makes my participation really difficult. Please feel free to bot me as needed, and hopefully this will be solved soon. Thanks for your patience!

That's the worst, Marcus. Sorry to hear the news, and hope you get that sorted out!

no internet is bad... hope it gets better MarcusQ

Thanks for the heads up Marcus.

@Everyone, I am planning on bringing in an additional player. My 3rd table for War for the Crown fizzled out with only two people posting consistently. It didn't make a lot of sense to basically recruit a whole new team but I didn't want to punish the consistent players by just dropping the game, so I split them up and will add 1 to each of my remaining tables. I know this puts us up to 7, so I will have to do a little extra work to keep things challenging, but its my hope they will only help to enhance the current game.

If anyone has concerns feel free to shoot me a PM. Otherwise, I will have the new player introduce themselves shortly. As far as their inclusion it will still be a little bit until we get to a part where it makes sense, but that shouldn't be too far off.

Perhaps they leap in as the TPK begins in earnest to save us.

Oh no, no one is coming to your rescue...

I believe in you all, you got this!

So . . . I'm guessing Bimble still feels the burn from the the Acid Arrow and is going down next turn. What's your view on spell effects persisting after the spellcaster has died? I'm thinking about trying to Web the caster with my last gasp, though I would need to make the concentration check first.

Actually most of the acid has neutralized by this point.

Thanks, GM Dak.

Looking forward to meeting the new player!

Well I was planning to turn up afterwards in a more civilised fashion - but if you really need the help... :)

Oh, another poet! You and Otavio can have poetry battles. Welcome to the group, Caspian... if we live...

The background is going to change somewhat - I'm in the middle of edits to his level 2 version, so no more poetry I'm afraid.

And you'll live - hopefully...

Welcome, Caspian!

Also, a quick note: I'll be offline longer than normal this weekend ('til some time around midday on Tuesday), so the GM may bot Capricia as needed to keep things moving.

Re-work finished. Meet Caspian's new (and slightly more magical) form.

Bimble - once we meet you and I are going to have lots to talk about/share :)

To all my games:

My wife gave birth to a baby boy yesterday! He came two months early. Mom and baby are well. Expect some delays in the near-term before I can catch up. Please bot me as needed.

Best wishes for Dad, Mom, and baby boy!

Already said this once, but it deserves to be said over and over

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <insert a stunning mass of confetti and a ridiculous amount of happy dancing>

Congrats!

Congrats! Glad everything is well.

Woo! I hope all goes well!

I'm back, I think? Me and mom out of the hospital, baby in hospital but progressing well. Thanks for all the kind words!

So . . . Any chance Caspian was hanging out in a safe room and he decides he is tired of guarding lazy nobles and wants to fight?

Or bring my CLW extracts along? ;)

I'm game!

YES!

So to rest or not? I was for it but now worry a bit since our GM gave us the last communication from our benefactor. Felt like a gentle nudge to keep moving.

I felt like the message was the opposite. They are out of the Senate building. So we aren't catching up to them.

Which reminds me, we need to reply and ask where they are going.

Just let me know what you want to do. :)

Just occurred to me that I'm no good from a healing POV at the moment. I can't give anyone else my extracts. I can keep myself going though :)

Trying to catch up on loot accounting. Can I assign the following items that we have floating around:
*Potion of Bull's Strength (Otavio?)
*Scroll of Summon Monster II (Rossana?)
*Potion of Cure Light Wounds (Capricia and Otavio?)

I believe there are two already-identified magic items unclaimed. Someone take these!
*Figurine of Wondrous Power - Silver Raven
*Cloak of Resistance +1

I know Marcus used an Alchemist's Fire and Sara used an Acid against the enemy swarms. After our trade with Mimips, that leaves for claiming:
*Alchemist's Fire x2
*Acid x2

There are three unknown magic items at the moment that people can try their luck on as well:
Unknown Ring DC22
Unknown Ring DC26
Unknown Amulet DC18 - I will take 10 to identify this after resting.

We still have to get the ooze out of the hat of disguise too :)

Sara will take an alchemist fire. Thank you.

Otavio will happily take the Bulls STR potion.

Added a History of Events to the Campaign page. Let me know if there is anything that specifically stood out to you that you would like me to include. I like to try and keep a summary of events so people can go back and review if needed.

Rossana will take the scroll of Summon Monster II and the other Alchemist's Fire.

Sara should be at 15 not 16 I believe. 16 would be correct if it wasn't for her max being 15.

Alright, I've created auto-calculating sheets for the Loot Sheet. Our items have been inserted, and all one has to do is enter their name to claim and item and it will auto add the value of the item to each player. Hopefully it is easy to read and use, but I have left the old sheet still up in case it is preferred instead.

Woah, that is a sweet loot table. How did you get everything to be linked?

I hyperlinked the posts and sites, but for the calculations, I had to learn how to multiply one column by another while keeping the criteria based on name from a third column. It was a little tricky, but I finally got the formula to work.

This is what the formula looked like in the end: =Sum(Sumproduct(Consumables!E4:E,Consumables!C4:C*(Consumables!F4:F="Bimble ")),sumproduct('Weapons & Armor'!E4:E,'Weapons & Armor'!C4:C*('Weapons & Armor'!F4:F="Bimble")),sumproduct('Scrolls & Potions'!E4:E,'Scrolls & Potions'!C4:C*('Scrolls & Potions'!F4:F="Bimble")),Sumproduct('Misc Items'!E4:E,'Misc Items'!C4:C*('Misc Items'!F4:F="Bimble")))

That is awesome Rossana! Concatenate is about as far as know function wise in excel and the like.

Oh by the way, I forgot to mention that each column can also be sorted by clicking the three little lines in each column's head. That way you can sort them by how much they're worth, whether they've been identified or not, and even by who owns what. The calculations on the totals page will stay correct however it is sorted.

Yer a spreadsheet wizard.

Sorry for the delay all, busy weekend and forgot my laptop at home today. Will get an update up this afternoon/evening.

Avenge me!

You know what I said about Caspian turning up when you really needed the help... :)

I might have to go out and buy a goat. Clearly, the dice gods are awaiting a worthy sacrifice :( I can't seem to roll above a 10 on any of my characters.

Worth saying, my strategic advice is to not waste time healing me if you have something better you can do. I'm just an easy target for Imistos.
