GM Mauve's Cradle of Night (1e) (Inactive)

Game Master MauveAvengr

I'm into it! I just pinged you on Discord. I play a couple games over there so I'm on it pretty much all day.

@Leon - go ahead and roam off the map. Just posted the official map provided, but there is definitely room to roam.

@Everyone, I will go ahead and set up a Discord group after work today and will post the invite when I do.

Thanks GM Mauve! please invite me to your Discord channel as well. :)

Worked nearly a 12 hour day yesterday! Didn't have time to set one up. Will likely be working 10 hours today. Will try to set up the channel when I get home tonight.

I can do so... if you want... ;)

Thanks Nyxis: I updated my stats with your Magic Circle against Evil. Akku is going to try to remain within 10' of Nyxis throughout this dungeon.

Okay - I've been working 12 hour + days and been fairly exhausted. I'm just about to head into the field for an overnight camping trip for work so I wont have access to a computer until tomorrow evening.

Akku - can you still set up the Discord? If so, that'd be great!

This sounds cool. What do you do? I'd like to get paid to camp. :)

Done! I sent the Discord invite link to you all via PM.

I work for the Forest Service. One of our experimental sites is a three hour drive from home base. Had two days of work there so it's better to camp out there.

Cool. Do you know how many people would love to have your job? :)

Not me. I applaud our GM for having ranger levels, but I'm too old for this now. LOL

Would have been a cool gig when I was twenty-something though... ;)

I have camped a lot in my life and always tent camped. But I am in the process of buying a truck-bed camper. Will camp even more I think but in comfort. :)

Leon's attempt at resolving the situation peacefully didn't go well but at least this is simple now!

I think both Aleks and Galadhan are up (unless Aleks's quick questions counted as his action?)

Sure, Aleks can continue with the rest of his turn.

Nyxis could have disarmed her... but on her turn she would just pick up the blade unless one had a readied action to grab the sword when it dropped.

Nyxis is built around a few specialties. One is trip/disarmbullrush. He can be quite good at it but it takes a level 2 spell.

Feel free to do that! a boss that has to pick its weapon is a boss not full-attacking! :)

So I posted in the Discord, but I'll be doing another overnight camping field work trip. It may be Monday to Tuesday. May be Monday to Friday. Most likely will be Monday to Thursday though. Wont be near a computer (since it'll be middle of nowehere). Likely wont have cell reception either. But will update when I get back.

There are also some pretty big forest fires near where I'll be working, so depending on conditions may not even be a night.

Looks like I'll be heading on another camping trip for work. Likely will be Tuesday-Thursday, but those may change. Late for work, but will be able to update today.

Please also decide what to do with Callivarius - do you kill her? Tie her up? Release her? Something else?

tie her up / bound and gagged for now, until we clear the rest of the house... then we'll see (Akku's vote will be to release her back to her parents)

Hi all, I'm headed to Pennsic for the week so limited internet access - feel free to bot as needed.

Unfortunate news - got told last night that this week will be another week out in the middle of nowhere for work. Will be gone without computer/internet access until at least Thursday, but a possibility of being gone until Sunday.

Have a good trip & stay safe!

Thanks!

The last statue will likely die this round (unless you get really unlucky). So please also discuss what you want to do as a group afterwards - which direction do you go?

Have a good week Mauve!

Voting for north (barracks) or east (looks like a well) before we head south, but I'll follow the group's decision.

Be well, I second the 'go north' to complete the circuit

North is fine by me

I'm good with north.

I am headed out to Dragon Con tomorrow afternoon for some much needed down time. Might not be available til next Tuesday.

Have fun at Dragon Con.

Was kind of waiting for Galadhan for an update, but sounds like a majority of you want to go south. About to head out the door for work, but will update when I'm home.

Sorry, been following along, just didn’t matter which way to me. South is fine…

Did I... break the module, or something? :(

Nope! Was just waiting on Aleks and Farrar. Since it was a holiday weekend, people may have been busy all weekend. Will give them another day before delaying them.

I am back from Dragon Con but will not be actually at home til Saturday or Sunday. Will try to keep up.

Missed that I was up, sorry.

Galadhan, did you remember Aid and Inspire Courage?

Thanks, GM, I forgot. Added ‘em to my post now so I should be good!

Side view map updated.

Leaving on a cruise today and get back Thursday. I’ll have the streaming package so I will check the thread mornings and most nights, and will try to post once a day…but if I’m holding things up, please bot me…

Have fun Otha!

Have fun! Working on a post right now...

Hi guys! I was hoping this would be more obvious by now, but my goal was to slow them down so only one or two could come into the north room at a time and so that none of them could shoot us; if you go fight them while they're in the condensed ether, it actually acts as a buff for them. If possible, I'd advise you wait until they come at us in the north room, but that's all up to you guys. Ttyl!

They seem to have abandoned the fight and are running away. Hence the wall of ice. Not sure how bad it will be if some escape.

Only one of them seemed to abandon the fight. The others were retreating to a more tactical position (and letting you come into the condensed aether)... at least the ones who aren't trying to kill each other.

And just as a heads up, after this combat, you'll level up! So start thinking of what you get at 9th level. There will be some more exploration at the manor, but (probably) no more combats.

Will have variable connectivity during Thanksgiving weekend, which starts now and may last well into next week! :)

Bot me as required.

Regards,
PDK/Akku

Canadian Thanksgiving? Have fun! It's a holiday for us on Monday so may take advantage and do some hiking/camping this weekend.

I am thinking I will hike/camp as well Mauve. All the commercial camp sites and state parks will likely be full though. So maybe just hike.

I'd still prefer to not let those enemies get away if we can prevent it...

It's a touch early, but I updated Leon to level 9 in his main profile.

I don't think we've found much in the way of treasure yet, right? I think there was one drop with a lance earlier & the rapier girl we found in the mansion early on. I'm assuming these commandos will drop something.

Am I missing anything?

Let me look back and see what you've found so far. About to make some dinner. Was going to wait for Aleks to post, but I'll update in a few hours.
