Ooh that sounds cool. Can you use it on the horse pulling the cart? If that got us a few extra downtime days when we returned, that would be worth a few dozen gold.
The spell affects me plus four target creatures, so one horse works out fine.
Okay well in either case its either 2 horses pulling a single wagon or 2 horses pulling two carts. I have not figure out which we are actually implementing as both were proposed.
Then I hit up two horses, myself, and two of you. Not a big deal. Whoever is driving gets it, just to be safe.
Awesome! How long does it take to get there then? Maybe that's a GM question?
Theoretically in about half the time -- as I doubt there are any "highways" between here and there but there might be.
Travel by horse, without magical help is 3 days…so I will say in theory about 1-1.5 days to potentially find the mystery structure.
Awesome. Time is money.
Progressed story :)
Well either something gets in here often enough to provide food for those spiders or they some how can put themselves into some sort of time stasis.
I have always looked at some modules and said okay so you have this living creature that has been sealed inside this ancient tomb that no one or thing has entered in decades or centuries even -- so please explain to my analytical mind how it survived.
I mean seriously what did it eat, what did it do with its waste, and the various other questions that all center around an ecological system which is required to sustain life as we know it.
Sadly of course as you read the rest of the module you quickly learn that no there is nothing within this anceint tomb that would allow it to sustain life. And yet there it is as big as... well... life as we know it.
Now I understand dragons for at least they sort of hibernate for long periods of time but most of the other living creatures -- absolutley no explanation as to how they stayed alive
*coughs* "Excuse me" and steps off the soap box ;-)
Remember…this is only the first floor of ‘X’ floors so…I burn the soapbox for now and if needed will buy you a new one lol
No problem will love to see how the ecology works within this tower and I did not say you did not have one -- I was just referencing a lot of the modules produced over the years always seemed to over look this rather small but very important concept.
Aka it harkens back to the "You find an orc guarding a chest in a 10 ft by 10 ft room." Okay so this raises questions or should such as, why is he here, why is he guarding the chest, who is he guarding the chest for, etc... fairly obvious questions that absolutely never get answered because there was no answer just whimsical placement of monsters, traps, and treasure.
It became one of the main reasons that I never ran a canned module because as I went through from I would ask myself the fairly obvious and not so obvious questions (because players will do this from time to time) and then I would make sure there was an answer. Now that answer was not always obvious but it was there if the group asked and then sought that answer.
Sort of like that bibilical verse applied to a game -- Ask and it (the question) will be given unto you, seek and you shall find (the answer), knock and the door (of knowledge) will be opened. -- kind-of-thing ;-)
Just FYI, I have a new baby arriving any day now. I probably won't drop 100% off the map but I will be a lot less frequent, maybe without notice, for a couple weeks.
Congratulations! Keep us posted when you can ;)
? The stork is dropping one off at your house or are you giving birth to a new one ?
Congrats :)
My wife is having our second child. Fun times.
Congrats!
I think if we make it out of here, we may need to plan on dealing with swarms a little better in the future.
Blessings abound congrats and best wishes on the delivery
Swarms are simple. Karita hides in her lab and creates hundreds of flasks of alchemist's fire and acid :-)
Okay I have to say this is one weird tower the stairs on the first floor were in the center of the circle but when we get up to the 2nd floor they come out along the northern edge. Further the diameter of the building increased by 5 feet
Strange magical spaces or just weird mistakes...
I will say that the stairs could start in the middle and then wind to a side between floors. But the larger floor layout is odd.
We are in a magical tower. Laws of physics need not apply. If the laws of physics make a nuisance of themselves, they can be told to sit down and shut up or else leave :)
New baby is here now. He and his older sister have put us through the ringer for a bit. Will be in contact more some time later.
Congrats on spawning in a new character! :-)
Congrats!
Yes awesome on the new birth and may the blessing compound itself in the time that follows.
I’ll update the map(s) when I get home or tomorrow sometime.
Baby is doing well and I'm trying to get back into play by post this week. Thanks for your patience!
No problem. New gamers require lots of attention ;)
So I totally meant to do a trade with the Lizardmen. If they did not take Zen'Zot's previous crossbow in exchange then I would have given them something for it.
Well upon them giving us the repeater Zen'Zot would hand-over (or offer) his crossbow to the lizardman especailly since he did not understand a word that was said.
The lizardfolk will accept the offer of your crossbow.
Not gonna lie…thought about a Basilisk…but even I thought against it lol. I figured cockatrice(s) would be a better challenge.
Given break enchantment is 5 levels away, flesh to stone two more, and who knows if we could find any other cures, appreciate it lol
GM, would you be ok with changing the order of the slides so that the current battle map is at or near the top after the table of contents? It usually takes me an extra minute or two to determine which slide is our current battle map.
First page now :)
Hope it helps :)
Thanks! It's very helpful.
Merry Christmas to everyone. Try to stay warm and safe if you're in places impacted by the winter from the north!
Happy New Year's! Still 16 hours away here, but no time like the present. Let's hope it's as profitable for our PCs as last year if not more :-)
Yes! Happy holidays to you too!
Hello, I will be on vacation from now through Jan 8th. I will have access to the internet, but I am not sure how much I will be able to post. Bot me as needed. Happy New Years!
Haha. That made me just now realize that Uwe is Tocash in my other game!
I sorta lost track of who's up anyway, I thought I was at the bottom of the order for initiative :)
I figured with Xmas and NY coming up that posting would be slow. Work has been busy and I was also recovering from a minor surgery so I wasn’t keeping close tabs on the game lol
Hoping everyone is safe and sound and had a good holiday season.
Hopefully we can get back on track. Not sure how we'll win this one yet, they're tough!
Who's turn is it, by the by?
I thought it was Uwe and Zen?
Mara & Zen
Huh! That's clear now that I check gameplay. I guess I was sure it wasn't my turn and there hadn't been any new gameplay posts so I figured it still wasn't. Will go soon!
