For to discuss things.
Ok folks...you've probably already all played and maybe run this scenario.
This is the first time for me, though, so I'm running it straight out of the book, even the parts that seem to get glossed over a lot of times.
Hopefully, that will help with RP.
When you guys get a chance, can you add your initiative and perception to slide 1?
*Le Sigh* So I messed it up for both tables.
It should be fixed, now.
Also sorry it took so long for me to post again. Took me a bit to straighten things up.
No problem at all. I know, from another thread that Midnight's character is going to be posting slowly for a bit.
We're in no rush, my PM was just to make sure you were still interested so I could consolidate tables, if necessary. Now that I know everyone's here and ready to go, we can go at whatever pace everyone is comfortable.
uggh, sorry, everyone. Things should be a little better moving forward.
Hope everything's going ok!
Let me grab a slot here still no alias made.
Playername: Eddv
Character Name: Prax of Many Colours
Character Number: 133118-32 (I'll double check on this)
Faction: I honestly havent picked one yet.
Ok. That will put us at 6.

I posted that it was her turn a little over 24 hours ago. I'm going to give her a couple more hours to post then bot her, if necessary. That way everyone else can have a turn by the weekend.
Technically, your initiative beat hers but I'm going to slot you in with the other block so you can go when they do.
No rush, Midnight. That's probably my last post until Thursday.
So, Happy Holidays, everyone!
May your scales be shiny and your minotaurs be tiny.

That "plank" is going to be pretty hard to maneuver!
It's 3' wide by 12' long, and thick enough to be able to walk across (and not just by small kobolds!). Assuming 1.5" to 2" thick it's probably going to weigh getting on for two hundred pounds. Dragging it to the edge of the pit is reasonably straightforward, but trying to get the far end positioned without dropping everything into the pit could present quite a challenge ...

All very valid points in the real world (even getting it through the halls, which are 3-10' wide and high, would be difficult for a group of people to work with, let alone 1.)
The way it's presented in the scenario is that it's meant to be used to cross the pit so, though it might break immersion, I'm going to say you can just put it in place without any checks.

Over the couple of times I've run this with first timers, one of two things happened:
After people have done it twice, I don't think I've ever been a player or GM when the players didn't get all the rituals (clearly because they know the gimmick). There is always the chance though that people miss the clues, and that's ok. A GM can only drop so many hints! Once you know everything, it is crystal clear this was a former place of worship, but sometimes when you receive it piece-meal/are in the moment the obvious parts don't add up to something meaningful (which was the case with me! I was like "huh, weird cave").
Based on what you've presented us (which I know is the box text), next time around I'd consider mentioning that some of the trinkets and coins seem really old and some new. At least to me, that'd give the impression that someone has messed with it before, maybe I should too. Making sure your Aroden information dump includes something about the Starstone too would also help in connecting the dots (since right now it takes meta-knowledge to bridge that gap). To be fair though, IMO adventurers should be curious and therefore naturally inclined to investigate.
You believe correctly.
Dang! I counted and everything. Updated.
Hmm...did I miscount kobolds and end up with 7 instead of 6?
Thanks.
I figured it out. I forget who but someone's kobold was originally named "Silumgar" and that's what's in my Init Tracker notes.
Maybe they perform different genres?
Listen to one and be inspired if you're into Rock.
Listen to the other and be inspired if you prefer Country.
I'm going to give Midnight until tomorrow to revise her action. If she doesn't post before then, I'll push us along.
So, the scenario can be over there (though there is some wrap up to be done.) You can go back and explore the other direction if you wanted to. Everyone can vote what they want to do. I'll go with the first 3 votes one way or the other.
