Again, sorry for the long stretch of no posts. After my big trip and this holiday weekend, I believe things should slow down enough for me to get things moving here again. I'll aim to post early next week.
Enjoy your vacation my friend, we'll be here! :)
I'm going to be stuck in a busy pattern at work for at least the next 3 weeks. I'll try to get posts up when I can but my free time is extremely limited at this time.
Ah yes, the penalty for taking a vacation! I know the feeling very well... Hope you had a great time!
I understand. Works been crazy for me as well... what is this "Vacation" you speak of?
Sorry for the long delay. I'm finally starting to get into a position where I'll have more free time again. I know it's been a while, but are people still here and interested in continuing the adventure?
I think I'll just drop this one. Too many game systems to keep up with... and I'm all in on Pathfinder 2e. Thanks for running and see you in the other game.
I'm still in!
Count me in as well.
Still willing to finish this out.
I'm still here as well -- thanks for checking in!
My summer was sort of wrecked by a side-project, but thankfully that's coming to an end.
Alright, I’ll post on Monday to get us moving again.
Sorry to see you go, Roscoe, but I understand. :)
Sorry, I've been very sick the past few days. I will try to post before the end of the week, focusing on getting better right now.
Take your time DM, feel better soon!
It's been another rough week. Maybe next week will be better? Sorry guys, it just hasn't been a good few months.
No worries Brainiac, take your time here.
Yeah, no rush -- better for you to take care of yourself
Clancy may act still.
Another potential hurricane is on its way to Florida, so I'll be busy at work. There will most likely be few posts this week.
Another hurricane is heading our way, so my posting this week will be sporadic again.
oof! Take care of yourself!
Seriously! Take care of yourself first and check in with us when you can just to let us know you're okay!
The storm's on its way out now. Luckily it wasn't too bad in our area, but lost of other places are badly damaged.
At any rate, this ends the adventure. Everybody may level up, and we'll start looking at options for the level 3 adventure.
@Qstor, I missed your question earlier, but we do have an opening now if you would like to join us! :D
Istevan gains 11 hp, his deed die moves to d5, crit die d16, and gains +1 to Fort and Will saves.
!!
Degan gains a monstrous 3 HP (after Stamina penalty), bringing his new maximum total to 7 HP.
His Luck increases to 12 as per Gameplay.
His attack bonus increases to +2, crit die is d14/II, Luck die is d5, and +1 to Ref and Will.
Bunch of skill increases.
Mirinde the Elf Quester is now Caster Level 3.
+1 Attack
+1 Will
Mirinde gains another known spell, which she chooses to learn Magic missile from the spellbook recovered from the Emerald Enchanter.
Spell-Killer.
Force Arrow
I'll level up soon, just finishing up with the final deadline of tax season. Hurrah! Now to gear up for 2024... *sigh*
I'm looking at 3rd-level modules now. I'm considering running Jewels of the Carnifex, so long as nobody here has played it already.
Sounds good to me!
The only DCC I've played prior to this was a 0-level adventure, so it's all new to me :)
Jewels sounds interesting, so let's do it!
Never played that, but I've seen the cover. It was on my list to run with my Roll20 DCC group, but that one kinda fell apart and I never actually bought the adventure. Looks cool to me!
I haven't played any DCC before so it is all new to me.
Alright, I'll read through the adventure and make plans to get it started on Monday.
Awesome! I'll get Clancy leveled up by Saturday. Again, thanks for running these, DM! It's fun to be a player in DCC instead of the GM! Or Referee, I suppose the role is officially called. :)
Was anyone keeping track of the loot for this past adventure?
I know that there were some emeralds and some potions, but I'm not sure there was anything else (also not sure how you usually portion things out). I can look back through and make a list if nobody has it.
I actually was not... I'm leveling up now though, and I can help you sift through the thread for loot!
And three Level 2 Spells! GM, would you like me to roll them randomly, choose them from the list or some combination thereof?
10 small emeralds worth 10 gp each; a golden bust of a dragon head (worth 40 gp) and a sack of 30 sp; 2 emeralds worth 10 gp each.
Also got a scroll of Ward Portal (Mirinde), a well-oiled dagger that does +1 to damage rolls (Degan?), a potion of strength (CL 5), a potion of levitate (CL 5), and a potion of spider climb (CL 5). I don't think anyone claimed those potions? Not that I saw, anyway.
After the last battle we got the ring of protection (+2 AC) (Degan?), ring of consultation (cast speak with the dead 1/day) (Clancy), and a spellbook with the following spells: (level 1) cantrip, find familiar, invoke patron, magic missile, magic shield, patron bond, runic alphabet, spider climb, (level 2) wizard staff, (level 3) make potion (Mirinde)
Nothing else jumped out at me. Except that the flying skulls were made of emerald and had rubies for eyes? Maybe we can backtrack and find the remains of those guys? :)
Also, that moon devil had fine gold chains binding it, though they melted down. Maybe we can gather those solid puddles of gold now?
I don't think Istevan got any magic though... maybe he should get the ring of protection? He IS in battle more often than Degan, after all.
I'll double check tomorrow to make sure all the loot was accounted for.
Clancy, you can roll randomly for your new spells.
Thanks! I didn't have time to look through yesterday, and that's more stuff than I remembered :P
Looks like a total of 160gp, 30 sp (plus maybe some other bits of gold and gems that we can wait for DM Brainiac to adjudicate) -- assuming Zathra claims a treasure share, we would divide this by five?
It's fine if Degan wants to keep the ring of protection (his AC is quite low), but Istevan definitely won't turn it down if it's on offer (he's already died once!).
I also didn't see anyone claiming the potions -- where would they be of greatest benefit? Spider Climb = Degan, Levitate = Mirinde or Clancy? Strength = Istevan? Or ... I'm not sure how potions work -- maybe the Strength potion should go to someone without a good STR (Istevan has a +1 already)
Degan is pretty terrible defensively. His AC is 11 and he has 7 HP.
I'm not going to try to get him killed, but I'm also not going to be surprised or even disappointed if it happens. It's DCC.
He will try to avoid combat as much as possible, and it's kind of fun playing him so cowardly because of his fragility, but taking the ring would at least give him a slightly better chance of surviving if he happens to get targeted. He certainly would want it in character.
No worries!
Luckily, I've rolled consistently high HP for Istevan. I won't be able to upgrade his armour yet, but a 16 is pretty good.
Mirinde has no interest in the potions (though eventually she will be able to brew them). That spellbook is of fart greater value to her.
The loot account appears to be correct. The emerald skulls and the gold chains do not have listed value as treasure, alas!
Cash: 32 gp, 6sp each
Potion of Levitate, CL 5 (Clancy)
Ring of Consultation (Clancy)
Dagger, +1 damage (Degan)
Potion of Spider Climb, CL 5 (Degan)
Ring of Protection, +2 AC (Degan)
Potion of Strength, CL 5 (Istevan)
Ward Portal (Mirinde)
Enchanter's Spellbook (Mirinde)
Work's busy these next few days with the election imminent, I should have more time to post again beginning on Wednesday.
Good luck, American friends -- it looks like it's going to be a rough one.
btw, I'll be away for a week, starting Thursday. I'll have internet access, but posting might be sporadic. Please bot as necessary.
Sorry, last week was busier than anticipated, and now I've got a sick child at home. Hopefully I'll be able to post in the next couple of days.
Alright, I'm back. Sorry for the long delay, I'm hoping to get to a good pace again.
I'll be out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday. Posts will resume on Monday.
