(#1-03) "Escaping the Grave" (Inactive)

Game Master rainzax

I know! She's hitting one failure after another!

Were we supposed to bring back the dead bodies? I thought we were just trying to ascertain their fate and bring them back if they are alive.

I've added a "Bodies" sheet to the Dossiers spreadsheet and put what we've found on it. Also updated the Dossiers tracker and have a feeling I'll need to make some more identifications soon . . .

@GM Rainzax, did Darg find another body in the fountain with the coins? I've placed "Fountain Corpse(?)" on the list for the moment . . .

Hey gang - long working day - expect big "Top of Hill" post tonight!

(No fountain corpse...)

Friday! Thanks for confirmation, removed “Fountain corpse!”

I'll give the party a chance to post "Exploration Turn 9" before moving onto Brayka's actions this evening (about 6-7 hours from now.)

If needed before then, I'm assuming Brayka is riding the cart and pushing it when Desert Wind looks to be struggling. There may be a time in there where Brayka is carries a corpse to lighten the load for Desert Wind.

Players,
Let me know if you need help placing your Token on the Map.

Going to use the "Rule of Two" to advance the plot. That is, if two players clearly suggest the same plan, that will trigger me posting as if the whole party decided to move forward with it.

Let me know if this is agreeable?

That is fine with me!

Agreed!

@GM Rainzax, I think I’ve placed Brayka at door C1 on slide 10?

Players - work caught up with me - I will move us along in the morning, and re-establish the routine!

I am good with that plan.

Rule of two is good to me.

Basic Saving Throws

Activating Botting Tree!

If it's been over 24 hours since someone posted, and that character is "up" in any mode of the game, other player are encouraged to "bot" that character either directly above - or directly below - their own characters' alphabetical names:

Brayka
Darg
Nenyath Ravenstar
Ryiah Dorne

Reactivating

My husband is quarantined right now which means I am basically a single mom. I can handle posting for myself right now, but am otherwise maxed out, so I won't be able to help with botting. I apologize!

Oh dear, sending positive energy your way, hoping he is well and you are doing OK.

Thank you! Likely he is okay, we're just being careful. But either way I am on my own for at least a few days!

Sorry had connection issues over the weekend - looking ok now fingers crossed

@ Darg / Party: Just part of the roof caved in - this is still a viable building.

so not sure how poison saves work, if one of the team has medicine, can they assist? Would a nature or survival role tell us if this poison just runs a short course (survive 3 rounds of damage) vice it is deadly and uless treated keeps going until you die?

Would battlefield medicine help by healing the person so they could ride it out?

I guess bardic inspriration would help with the saving throw.

Just spitballing here as my toon has no medicine at all.

I think someone trained in medicine can try to neutralize the poison. I don't have medicine either. Outside if magic, I am not sure we have any other options unless someone has a way to boost a fort save.

Link to the Treat Poison function of Medicine Skill

ugh, we are clear out of medical folks.

Once Brayka comes back, he also has a focus heal. Just not sure how much more damage the poison will do. Might need to break into healing potions :/

Ryiah can cast soothe, but he's pretty close to full right now, so she is waiting for the moment.

Everykthing ok DM?

Nenyath!

Sorry the site has been down for me everytime I've tried to access it

I couldn't get on for a long time on Friday. Hopefully they've got it fixed now!

Recall Knowledge (bardic lore)]d20+5

Retrying, but don't we already know what kind of poison it is? From the centipedes? Does identifying it further give us some kind of bonus?

Ryiah,

No bonus. Just info.

Hey, Nenyath, do you still have a hero or inspriation point left? Might be a good roll to use it on, I am not sure what to do, sounds like the poison isnt going to stop.

And we now (finally) exit Encounter Mode. Busy day, expect large post this evening!

My daughter has been having some serious health problems and is probably going to be hospitalized. I keep hoping things are going to ease up, but they haven't and it doesn't look like they will any time soon. I will post when I can,but half the time I sit down to make a post, I get interuppted part way through, and half the time I just don't have it in me. I apologize.

Best wishes for you and her :/

Team, to add to the fun, I am on vacation this Thurs-Sun with no internet and "nomadic" cell coverage, I'm assuming I'm out.

Brayka will try to make his way back to the party, embarrassed at having abandoned everyone but still solid in his decision. In the Pits of Geb he cared for and often fought alongside the animals and feels very loyal to creatures in general as a result (pro/con, depends on the circumstance.). He'll of course try to reconnect with everyone and continue the mission.

The Character sheet has an updated list of copy/paste botting rolls in case they are needed.

Hope you all get some RnR this weekend, I look forward to returning. If I'm fortunate, I may even be able to connect. Best of rolls and roles to all.

Players,
First, I wish your daughter the best, Ryiah.
As for our game, even as we are supposed to be "officially" finished by November 10th, if we have to run a little over that due to IRL stuff, just wanted to say that I am down to continue at the pace that everyone can best make, and committed to seeing this through.
Going to maintain our "rule of two" and will step in to "bot" Ryiah at appropriate times here and there, doing so "conservatively" as needed.
Appreciate you all, and be safe!

Warm greetings, Brayka has returned (and so has his player ;)

I'm posting in this thread with rainzax's permission. I'm trying to reach Esha/Ryiah/Elariel - I've reopened the 1-08 campaign to continue discussion from before.

I note your post from October 15, and wish you the absolute best for your daughter and your whole family.

@Watery Soup - Thank you! I am sorry - I will post in the discussion group with an update.

@Everyone else - I am sorry for being so absent. My daughter continues to be quite sick and I just can't keep up. I will post if/when I can. I haven't read the gameplay posts yet, so I'm not sure where we are at. I will try to check later today.

Quick question, as of Ryiah’s turn, are we still in encounter mode? I’d like to post but don’t want to supplant anyone. Thanks :)

Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween as well.

Do we need to check that area? I say we just move on. We can reinspect it if we still having missing Pathfinders after searching the rest of the building.

whatever is shinny could be an item of pathfinder.

Players - in case it's unclear - it's easy enough for Darg and Brayka to climb out, the question is how long do you want to stay here?

If needed?

Quick note on healing: Lay on hands will heal 6 and boost AC 2, but I've only got the 1 cast so I'm holding it for now. I must admit being at ~75% HP for Brayka is an uncomfortable border.

if no one is interested in botting Nenyath, would it be ok to say he’s asking Larraz about the bodies?
