Here's the thing. The class skills for bard on d20pfrsd.com do not include the Disable Device skill. Yet as an archaeologist bard I get a bonus on Disable Device checks at 2nd-level. So I'm guessing Disable Device was missing in bard class skills as a typo. So I added it when I got to 2nd-level. So now Arcanus has a rudimentary ability to unlock lock door. :)

OK, if we've cleared the first level (assuming we open the door into A14 and look around...), we have completed our first quest reward ("2. Reaching The Spire Dungeon: (find the way down) 500Exp.") Also, the sage might pay us for a map of the keep ("5. Sage's Expedition: (return maps of the various dungeon levels to Abernard Royst. He will reward you with gold according to the level"). I do think we need some supplies if we want to go further. Given the darkness effect we've encountered, I think we need to get more and better lights, because while Edeldhur and I have low light vision, I think all the rest of you are on human normal... none of us have darkvision.

Ratel Dier |

Casting light didn't work ok? I assumed we'd rest here and go to the next level in the morning.
If were not, would we be allowed to travel back to town without being fatigued? It's already 4:00 in the afternoon or would we need to rest then go to town in the morning?

Nycholas Hyll |

I can make a loot list maybe tomorrow. I don't think there's any reason to go back to town until we have enough to buy at least a fully charged wand of CLW.
i guess we'll kniw when i compile the loot.

Ratel Dier |

whether now or later, when we are sleeping 'in the open' we'll need some kind of 'watch' set up. Would you all prefer a watch with one person for five two-hour watches for ten hours or calculate some kind of overlap with two people each four hours for a twelve hours?

Arthdane Sarkanaroka |
1 person marked this as a favorite. |

We don't have enough bodies to do paired watches(5 of us: Edeldhur, Ratel, Nycholas, Arcanus and Arthdane).
10 hr rest period
n=5 people
5*10 = 50 Total hours
2*10 = 20 # of watch hrs required
5*8 = 40 # of rest hrs required
60 > 50
12 hr rest period
n=5 people
5*12 = 60 Total hours
2*12 = 24 # of watch hrs required
5*8 = 40 # of rest hrs required
64 > 60
Thus, proposed watches (2 hrs), assuming a 10 hr rest period:
Edeldhur, Arcanus, Ratel, Nycholas, Arthdane

Sounds fair.

Nycholas Hyll |

There's a loot list at the top of Nycholas' profile.
I think the ring should go to whoever goes first in case of pit traps. Nycholas can go first, but his Perception is garbage.

Ratel Dier |

I figure Ratel will go first most of the time and he claimed the bow. So whoever wants it. I think we should keep it rather than sell it, but that's just a preference in style.

do not forget, you'll have to give some of that to the fort going back. so maybe decide what you'll present to them or suggest to them.
Not to sure that we're going back to the fort just yet. I get the impression that people want to try the next level down before we go...

WRT to the marching order thing, Nycholas has a perception of +1. Traps could be a problem with him leading off... I could take Tail End Charlie, I'm OK in a fight by myself and my speed can get me to the front quickly (where I can use my longspear) if there's a fight.

Ratel Dier |

True, but since he has the heavier armor, I thought I'd ask. Ratel's perception is + 6 and he's durable. I built him to take point or close to the front. Hadn't heard from Nycholas for a bit, thought I'd start the conversation with the offer.

It's that time of year again. Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year. I am going on holidays, starting the 19th, and expect to be back for Jan 4th 2022. Posting may be sporadic; feel free to bot me if needed.

Arthdane Sarkanaroka |

Has anyone heard from GM Michael? I hope he is alright. There is an e-mail address in his Dread profile...

Nycholas Hyll |

I hope he's doing ok =(

GMMichael |

while I had several games going on the boards....then I had the year of hell. This is no joke of exaggeration.
I got Covid in Dec of 21 took offline for about a month. Ended up in the hospital. then gradually recovered. ...My mother passed away in March. My Father passed away in June and lost my job because (not in that order). I had a car accident in August, totalling my car and going down to a one car family...also landing me in the hospital....again.
finally I got sick again in December of 22. and out of work for 3 weeks.
It seems that everytime Id start to recover from the body blows of the year...another would hit.
So I apologize for my inability to keep things posted or let others know what was going on. Lets just say my mind wasnt on the game.
So Apologies, Not sure if I will be dming or playing anytime soon, more just checking in
