At first I thought you were making a KKK reference, then figured out it was supposed to be a ghost! >.<

Current political climate makes this not as impossibly likely as it should be. It’s very sad.
I heard on the news today that a local police dept received an anonymous package of clan recruitment propaganda in our area. SMH

A few years ago at my school ROTCs tudents thought it would be appropriate to put a swastika on the locker of an African American student. The year before some students thought it was okay to put KKK hoods on their classmates (using tech) in a group pic. Admin really did nothing about it.
| Rodalas Windrace |
It is disgusting. Students can basically do what they want, It didnt help that Admin would call them babies...

Accountability... Responsibility... Things that we need to instill when they are young.
| Turquoise 'Turq' Barreltap AL |
This should be a societal goal, but sadly, it is not. The sense of community has been eroded by our current society...

My cat had a tooth removed yesterday so I was at the vet's most of the morning and then spent the afternoon making sure he was okay.

No worries. We gonna take a break after this, or push on, to get folk to 5th level?
| Baldrick Longhall |
I'm happy to stay at 4th level, if we need to stick to Tier 1.
(Assuming that we are continuing! I'm enjoying the adventure and this character, but compared to the DMs, this is mostly effortless for me.)
| Turquoise 'Turq' Barreltap AL |
If Grey needs a break, we will need someone to pick up the mantle. If he is up for one more, we can at least get everyone to 5th, then I can run one.
| Turquoise 'Turq' Barreltap AL |
I'll only be 4th, and Lumen and Netz will only be 3rd, so we got at least one more adventure before everyone can get to 5th (assuming Netz and Lumen are okay using the DT to catch up.)
| Turquoise 'Turq' Barreltap AL |
There are, but I am not willing to leave Netzer and Lumen behind. If that is the choice, I am out and you all can play without me.
| Greycastle |
Um…. Yeah that’s fine. I can run another one. I’ll work the transition in and when we take our next long rest (probably in Easthaven) will be when we technically switch adventures and everyone can level up when that takes place.
| Greycastle |
What does that mean?
It means keep playing. I’ll let you know when to level up and what items we need to distribute.

You rock, brother! When we get to tier 2, I will give you a break and run something.
| Umikh Ironbender |
Great! I love playing this character and this team is pretty fun. Totally more about the playing than leveling so happy to hold back and let others catch up.
| Turquoise 'Turq' Barreltap AL |
Turq will be so much fun as we level! I am really liking the cavalier subclass, but I need to move away from two handed weapons. Going to move toward shield mastery, I think... ^_^
| Baldrick Longhall |
I'm trying to move Baldrick toward having a crisis about his magic, so I think his next level will be Fighter.
| Baldrick Longhall |
I think the general idea is for him to overcome his fears and become the sorcerer equivalent of the battle cleric. Or... maybe he's a fighter with support spells when not in combat? I guess I haven't 100% decided.
I don't usually plan these things out in advance, but I've played different versions of Baldrick in one-shots for several years. I know that the whole "doesn't understand that he's casting spells" schtick doesn't really work with higher-level magic, so he either has to come to terms with the spellcasting or abandon it entirely.
I have a bit of an idea of where I'd like to see him go, and hopefully that doesn't end up feeling too forced or artificial here.
| Turquoise 'Turq' Barreltap AL |
I don't mean to hold players up from advancing as I know I joined the group late. I appreciate being able to continue. Someone will have to let me know how I catch up.
No worries, Lumen! Once we can get you to level 4, you can spend Downtime to level up to 5th. We'll get you there, bud!
@Baldy, hmm, you could go Rune Knight, and dig deep into the Giant rune magic... Or Eldritch Knight, and still have your spellcasting, albeit slower progression... It depends on whether or not he comes to grips with his magic ability.
| Baldrick Longhall |
you could go Rune Knight
I'll have to look that one up - if it's not in the PHB, I don't know about it!
| Turquoise 'Turq' Barreltap AL |
You can find the breakdown here, if you do not have access to Tasha's Cauldron.

Ok I am at third level and need to do something with Netz too. The item int boost makes barbarian funny but perhaps I too need to redo what I am doing. I only have the initial phb but I do have internet access. I also really enjoy this group and appreciate that you are all playing with me to catch up. It's an honor really

I have always been partial to the Battlerager. Its level 6 ability is often overlooked.
Reckless Abandon
Beginning at 6th level, when you use Reckless Attack while raging, you also gain temporary hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1). They vanish if any of them are left when your rage ends.

We waiting on anyone else to chime in? Do we need to make Survival checks or anything?

No, I’ve just had a busy week and I’ve been slacking in my duties as DM. I’ll get A post up today.
| Turquoise 'Turq' Barreltap AL |
No worries, just wanted to make sure that we weren't holding you up.
| Turquoise 'Turq' Barreltap AL |
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that the point of DM Grey telling us the passive Perception was that if your passive was high enough, then you do not need to roll, but you can always try to roll to get that high.
Just to let you all know... Grey, am I mistaken as to your intent?
| Baldrick Longhall |
I always assume that a roll means that you are actively trying to hear/see something, which, since we're on a march, might mean stopping or slowing down to listen carefully. Passive, on the other hand, is just that your hearing/sight is good enough that you just notice.
Ends up as the same result for Baldrick, though - he's not likely to stop to listen unless he's asked.
| Turquoise 'Turq' Barreltap AL |
Could be, but as we are out in the wilds, it would make sense that at least Turq would be keeping an eye out. I mean, he is training to be a ranger anyway... ;)
EDIT: If it is passive only, Turq did NOT make that check and does not warn anyone, staying at the front of the pack...
| Baldrick Longhall |
[ @Turq: btw, I sent you a PM :) ]

Okay, so we have a bit of a conundrum with this campaign. Having hit the start of the new Season, it seems that the freeform DCA for Season 10 are no longer available unless it is on the DMs Guild.
So, we have a couple of options.
1) We continue to play DDAL modules of Historic category, possibly taking us out of Icewind Dale, or continue using the Book Module (Rime of the Frostmaiden). We can still rotate DMs, and it will give us a little freedom for story, but will also allow us to keep our characters AL legal.
2) We migrate this campaign to a home game. This will make anything we do after this last section not AL, but we can 'snapshot' the characters to keep the AL characters usable at this latest level, and play non-AL versions through the rest of the way.
What do we think about this?
