Alright then, everyone's in. I will get stuff added and send you character files that you can cut and paste and drop into your "profile" page.

In the meantime, the gameplay tab is up. Feel free to post in character there.

Campaign info tab has some other things of interest.

I don't remember how many spells I have have left. I know we cast some stuff to level. It should be on my character sheet.


Your character sheet shows a full complement of spells

Roondar is going to move to those double doors and listen.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27


Post in Gameplay por favor


um. i don't remember what we were doing.


Searching the remaining doors in the basement and then taking your information you got out of Daktani (the horc meeting the flood trolls that you interrogated and executed) back to the militia.

The Roll20 map is still up, available and updated. Leroy and Roondar need to move into the room.


I am here, gonna roll/have half rolled a half elf archanist. I for the life of me can't remember how to make a character and post as them, but I'm at least signed up :)

Do we have a link to the roll20 stuff?


1d5 + 3 + 1d5 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 + (4) + 3 = 14


Here I am!


testing this roll posting random seed thing.

original:
Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

edited later:
Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22


new!

Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13


wow. that's unfortunate. but, at least you can go back and edit it and it all works out.


Qu'en looks around and then says "Looks like we have cleared out this area, saved the boy, and learned more about what is going on a little bit more in the town, we should bring this information back to _____ (I don't remember anyone's name)"

Tike can you give is a quick reminder in Discussion or on the Campaign tab of key players and what exactly we are doing here again, I am a little fuzzy


Ze Story so far ...

Following the hopeknife ceremony for Ruby, daughter of the Chief Defender of Trunau, Helga, the party interacted with Rodrik and Kurst Grath.

The next morning, Rodrik was found dead of an apparent suicide (cutting his own wrists with his hopeknife) at the Ramblehouse Inn, the same place you were staying. Kurst asked you to investigate, because he didn't believe it was possible for Rodrik to have committed suicide.

Investigating the death, you discovered several things that led you to where you are:

1) Cham Larringhas, the inn keeper, kept an unnamed human man's name out of the register. He checked out the same morning
2) In Rodrik's room, you find a receipt (In Roll20 Journal) for a replacement hopeknife. It appears Rodrik lost his original one given to him by Brinya Kelver, and had requested another one be made by Urnsul. The smith, Urnsul was recently hired by Sara Morninghawk and had just stopped coming to work. The work in progress had gone missing and Sara confirmed the one you had that was found with Rodrik's body was it
3) Brinya, Rodrik's fiance, told you about a journal Rodrik kept and you discovered he had a muse, a half-orc oracle, named Katreza who let you know that Rodrik had uncovered something suspicious going on at the Plague House (the old burned Iomedaen Temple) when he spied a flood troll there. You decided to go there.

Additionally you were attacked by drugged wolves, placed in the middle of the city on a wagon.

One night, some assassins from Freedom Town attacked you in your rooms. They were hired by a half-orc with facial tatoos and dreadlocks.

You also found a note in the room the human was in addressed to Melira [ooc](In your roll 20 journal)

You discovered Sergeant Omast Frum, back in the bottle, and attempting to clean the white sword grafitti around the town.

You went to the Plague House, found Rodrik's hopeknife, encountered a half-orc traitor from the town, who had been corresponding as a go between messenger between the flood trolls of some tribe of orcs. You also found a teenager he had captured and returned him to his family.

This traitor, Daktani knew that a group of half-orcs has infiltrated Trunau, and that an orc raid on the town is planned for the near future. He didn't know the details, or when the attack is supposed to take place—only that the halforcs are looking for something in town first. Skreed Gorewillow was the name of his contact, a facial tatooed halforc who referred to his other partners as “the tribe.”

You then killed Daktani, and scoured the rest of the grounds. You were going to report back to Kurst.


those are a lot of facts. do we remember the conclusions or theories we had? is there a narrative thread we can remember stringing together?

k? mark?

I don't. But from reading the post above, I think we need to make sure the city knows about this planned attack. And I agree with Clint, we need to find that orc and find out about this Tribe.

--------------------
Jugger and his clan lived in a small, remote dwarven stronghold called Grimstone, deep in the Mindspin Mountains east of Janderhoff. Grimstone was linked to the greater Janderhoff community, but distant enough to enjoy independance from the citadel. Grimstone came to a sudden four years ago when it was suddenly attacked and razed by a band of giants and orcs. Most of its people were killed outright, with a small number taken as slaves. During the short, ferocious battle, Jugger was maimed and left for dead in the collapsed ruins of his family's home. He awoke and crawled free hours later, only to find the raiders long gone. He and a handful of survivors collected and burned their dead. The refugees departed for Janderhoff, but Jugger did not follow. Instead, he set out alone, on a path of vengeance or his inevitable death. In the many months since, he has wandered the frontier of Varisia, Belkzen and Lastwall, attacking and slaying any orc or giantkin he finds. He recites the names of his murdered family -- his mother and father, his brother and four sisters, his nephew and many cousins -- like a litany as he charges into battle. Against all odds, he has managed to survive thus far...

Jugger keeps his black hair chopped short, but roughly so. His beard is long and unkempt. He takes better care of his heavy armor and weapons, but only just.


Favored class bonus went to rage rounds per day?

I'm showing 5 of 6 available skill points spent off this. what am i missing?


Male Exiled Dwarf Barbarian (armored hulk) 6

Yes for FCB.

Skills are 2 ranks each to Acro, Climb and Survival. (2 of these are fairly worthless with heavy armor)

EDIT: drop Acro for Craft (armor)


VIDEO GAME WARNING!

This is a unique adventure and with the raid kicking off, there will not be an opportunity to rest until the end of this chapter (we are about half way through). I tell you this for consideration of resources.

Additionally to aid with this, Roondar has a tattoo that lets him apply a full night's rest to you (healing, resources, new spells) when he casts a healing spell or uses a potion on you if you have enough XP to level up. Use it wisely.


bleagh.


BTW, leaving for Costa Rica on Wednesday for 2 weeks. I will post where able but it will slow down to ... well, your pace.


Test 1...2

HP - 1d5 + 3 + 1 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 1 + 9 = 17


Why do all your guys have masks? Are you a creeper?


I dunno, but let's go with that idea


Valra's HD Roll - 1d5 + 3 + 1 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 + 18 = 27


Male Horc 5th Level Bloodrager

Test test


What, no creeper mask!?!?!

That's great icon.


Male Horc 5th Level Bloodrager

You shamed me into not picking one

HP - 1d6 + 4 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 13 = 21


Male Exiled Dwarf Barbarian (armored hulk) 6

What was Jugger's starting xp supposed to be? Base 2nd level?


Yes


Everyone gained 1,970xp from the last fight. Loot list on Discord. Probably should move it here eventually.

I believe that's enough for level up for all to level 3 - so post all that here. Don't forget favored class bonuses. HP rolling rules are on the Campaign tab. Please read them first

With one cure light or other heal (like a channel -- could ask the priest for his last one), you gain a full night's rest and regain all abilities, spells etc with Roondar's tatoo


M Oread 8th Level Druid, AC 18, touch 10, flat-footed 18 (+7 armor, +1 shield) hp 59 (8d8+8) Fort 6, Ref 4, Will 10; +4 vs. fey and plant-targeted effects Resist acid 5

Roondars new HPs:

HP: 1d5 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 For a new totlal of 26 (+1 for favored class bonus)

Working on level up info. I'm thinking of a feat to take. I'm concidering taking Scribe spell to add some more heals. However, I'm thinking we aren't going to get the time to scribe anything. Do you guys have thoughts?


Male Horc 5th Level Bloodrager

Create wand might be better, I think the craft time is pretty low for a level 1 spell


Male Horc 5th Level Bloodrager

Yeah so you can make a level 1 wand of clw in 4 hours for a DC 16 spell craft check if I am doing my math right


M Oread 8th Level Druid, AC 18, touch 10, flat-footed 18 (+7 armor, +1 shield) hp 59 (8d8+8) Fort 6, Ref 4, Will 10; +4 vs. fey and plant-targeted effects Resist acid 5

have to be level 5 to get the craft wands feat


M Oread 8th Level Druid, AC 18, touch 10, flat-footed 18 (+7 armor, +1 shield) hp 59 (8d8+8) Fort 6, Ref 4, Will 10; +4 vs. fey and plant-targeted effects Resist acid 5

Also, 1st level spell would be 2 hours and cost 125gp, not sure if I have enough gp for more than one. not sure how much gold we've got. I haven't been keeping very good lootz counts


Male Exiled Dwarf Barbarian (armored hulk) 6

Jugger appears to be 360 xp short of 3rd. I tallied the 670 from first live session, and 1970 from this one. Am I missing something?


Male Horc 5th Level Bloodrager

Yes exactly 360 xp I just found left over in my xp bucket


Male Horc 5th Level Bloodrager

You missed a bunch of solo xp on the live sessions by being dying. As the last dude standing in that fight I got a bunch of extra. I am good sharing it if Tike is
