Delaying my post as I am not sure anyone has taken any action on room #17 so far.
Sinésiel Arvine |
Updated the loot sheet with the potion that I drank. Thankfully we have a pretty solid stock of them still. Also, I know it has been said many a time, but damn I miss Mylok.
Talienda Blackhorn |
Same. :(
Here's hoping he's having a happy holiday, whatever he celebrates.
GM Omelas |
Yeah, I'm also saddened by the whole Mylok affair. Or perhaps worried is a better word. I hope he's fine.
Also: assuming you survive it, you'll reach level 2 after this fight. Mentioning it just in case anyone wants to already start thinking about new spells, skills, features, etc.
Sinésiel Arvine |
Should I uh, prepare my exit well-wishes? :p
I'm assuming we won't have a chance to rest anytime soon, so what will we be doing about gained spell slots from leveling up and things like re-allocating my mental focus?
GM Omelas |
How comfortable are you with the undead template, actually? (hopefully I won't regret this joke)
Regarding leveling up, I believe that what would make most sense would be that you just add it on top of your remaining slots. So:
1) If you have 1 remaining slot right now
2) and get a new slot from lvl 2
3) you have 2 remaining slots after levelling up
Does that make sense? Happy to hear suggestions/requests if you have any.
I actually find it weird to level this way, in the middle of a dungeon, as I like to see levelling up as the result of reflection, training, etc, but I do believe you'll need some extra firepower.
Sinésiel Arvine |
That about checks out. I'll just allocate my 1 new point of focus to whatever school I unlock (I think I had been set on abjuration previously, I'll have to look again). So same things for additional HP? Just stack new HP on top?
I prefer skeleton to zombie, by the way. Nothing worse than being slowed!
Talib Abd al-Abadar |
I think I understand: anything we've used remain expended, but we get all our new toys on top of that. Right? I haven't really been using any of my expendable abilities, since we've so few of them to start with (and no real chance to rest and replenish them!). Maybe I can start doing that now!
Rissi Than |
Cool! For me second level has a lot. One more first level spell slot, +1 to BAB and my two good saves, AND two more uses of by Bardic music to Inspire Courage. And Versatile Performance which can be useful....
Talienda Blackhorn |
Merry Christmas everyone of ya! I hope you've had a good one and here's to a happy new year!
GM Omelas |
Hey, folks, hope you're having a nice break too =)
Apologies for my silence. Decided to use my free time to do some clean up my computer a few days ago and ended up almost bricking my HD and lost loads of work. Fun times. Anyway, will have a new post up shortly.
Talienda Blackhorn |
Speaking of, Happy New Year to all y'all. May our characters not find this the beginning of a gruesome end. :P
Rissi Than |
TPK! So much for our plans to continue adventuring with this party! :-)
And Happy New Year to all!
GM Omelas |
Happy new year to everyone and may whatever gruesome end your PCs meet be climactic and enjoyable =)
Talienda Blackhorn |
So, did we ever say how we're handlin HP for new levels?
Sinésiel Arvine |
For now I just took average HP, but if you'd rather we roll just lemme know GM ~
+7 HP = +5 (d8) +1 con +1 favored class
fort +1
will +1
BAB +1
more skill ranks
3rd implement (abjuration) = new spells known, new focus and resonant powers
magic item skill +1
object reading
+1 mental focus
+1 1st level spell slot

I was hoping to pick up Abadar's truthtelling, but I think magic weapon might be a bit more... vital... with all these incorporeal undead floating around. Honestly, I should just have chose that instead of divine favor.
By the way, I think we've finally lost Skurly. He hasn't posted in over a month.
GM Omelas |
Regarding HP, either roll here or take the average, your choice. Apologies for not saying it earlier.
Regarding Skurly, I will send him a message. If he doesn't reply soon, I will have him joining Mylok (btw, this is what our gunslinger is doing in my headcanon). The module was designed for 4 PCs originally, so we should be fine if everyone posts at a reasonable rhythm.
@Siné,@Talib: level ups seem fine as far as I'm concerned.
Sinésiel Arvine |
Mylok, please, it's better for everyone if she stays gone
Awesome! For spells I took resistance for my knack and hold portal for my 1st level.
Sinésiel Arvine |
Took some light narrative liberties on my new class abilities, hope that's alright. Trying to really get back into character after the protracted break.

I'm still mulling over Talienda's response to Madge, and while I know that it's going to be punchy, I'm not sure beyond that. I'll try to have it up tonight, but I might be tomorrow before I post.
GM Omelas |
Apologies for the lower quality post today -- working from a temp computer that I barely had the time configure.
Talienda Blackhorn |
No worries. I think we can all understand the pain of setting up a new computer.
Talib Abd al-Abadar |
"Then be ready to say hello to your daddy, 'cause you'll join him soon!"
This seems rather prophetic, in retrospect. ;P
Talienda Blackhorn |
Yup, for more than one character it seems. halp!
Misfire Mylok |
I just wanted to elaborate on what exactly happened to me in Sept/Oct.
I was in a fairly bad car wreck which left me with 2 cracked ribs, and a bunch of bruises. I reached out to GM Omelas and asked that GM let my games know that I would be back in a bit. But, as it turns out, the doctor at the ER missed the fact that I had a broken tibia as well. Other than some bruising, you couldn’t tell by looking at my leg that anything had happened. So, after a little over week of telling my wife that my left leg was not feeling any better and was starting to feel worse we finally got a doctor to x-ray my leg. Well, they had to rebreak my leg since it had already started to heal some.
Fast forward to the end of December and I’m feeling better. But then, my 6 & ½ month old son starts breathing erratically and his O2 levels are way low at night when he sleeps. (We have him wear a pulse oximeter.) Turns out, he had such a strong cold that his congestion was keeping him from breathing properly and he had to hospitalized for a few days.
Needless to say, I was straight up not having a good time. Other than sit around and watch TV, I really had no desire to do much of anything.
Now, however, bruises are healed, ribs are healed, and my leg is still broken. But pretty close to being healed ( I hope.)
Oh, and also, helloski.
Sinésiel Arvine |
Oh my, that's a lot all on your plate at once. I'm glad to hear things are at least starting to look up for you and your family. We've all missed you very much!
GM Omelas |
Damn, "not having a good time" is an understatement, but, as Sinésiel said, it's good to know things seem to be improving a bit now.
I echo the feeling we were missing you a lot! Feel free to heroically jump into the fray whenever you're feel ready. Until then: we have levelled up, so you can do that.
Also, let me know if you want to justify your IC absence yourself or if you prefer I do it (I'm fine either way, completely your choice).
Misfire Mylok |
Working on leveling Mylok. Shouldn't take too long.
Weird question though, since I've almost always leveled during some rest period, how are HP being handled?
Like, if your character was at 2/10 HP and now has a max of 20, do you have 2/20 or 12/20?
Misfire Mylok |
Yeah I was planning on putting the changes here too.
HP Avg 6+1(Con)+1(Favored class) = 20
BAB: +2
F: +4
R: +7
W: +1
CMB: +2
CMD: 16
Skill Ranks added: Acrobatics +1, Intimidate +1, Perception +1, Stealth +1
Background Skill Ranks added: Handle Animal +1, K. Engineering +1
Updated ammunition count to reflect expended bullets
Sorry for my delay on posting, I was reading through everything that happened.
Misfire Mylok |
I got all amped-up and forgot that our GM rolls our initiative.
GM Omelas |
Ha, no problem at all. I roll initiative for the sake of efficiency and keeping things moving; makes perfect sense you rolled it yourself when arriving mid-combat.
GM Omelas |
Folks, is everything ok? Been a bit of a slow week as far as posting goes. I assumed you'd want to have some IC chats and possibly try to interact with Killian, but otherwise I can move the action forward more quickly?
Talienda Blackhorn |
I would love to, but Talienda is having a hard time processing everything that's happened tonight, and I have a feeling that she's going to be a long time recovering from this adventure emotionally.
I'm about to post, I just got home a little bit ago and it takes a bit of time to catch up.
Talib Abd al-Abadar |
Sorry for being so inactive. I'm currently working on my master's thesis, with the aim of graduating later this spring. There's a lot of reading and writing to do, and as a result, I might periodically lose track of the time and/or have little energy to write longer posts.
Misfire Mylok |
I was holding off because I didn't want to be like "I'm back, gimmme the spotlight!"
And I could've sworn I posted something in the discussion.
GM Omelas |
No problem, folks, was just getting a bit worried.
Also, this whole exchange between Rissi and Talienda is brilliant =)
Talienda Blackhorn |
Glad to hear it, because I'm having fun with it. :D

Hey, I'm opening up a recruitment thread for a short DnD 5e adventure if y'all are interested. The thread can be found here: A Dinner for Party of Five
