GM Ietsuna's Call of the Copper Gate

Game Master TriOmegaZero

It looks like you've got a GM to finish this off. Please reach out to me by PMif you need anything.

Pregen choice is up to the table, so feel free to weigh in if you need Seelah for paladin stuff or someone else with skills.

They never released Pre-Gens for the Occult Iconics, did they??

An Occultist, Spiritualist, or even Medium would not be a bad choice.

I don't think I've ever seen the Inquisitor pre-gen in play, but she'd be good here, too, as might the Investigator.

The Cleric, OTOH, I've seen enough of to frankly have grown bored with her.

Triixi still here.

Kaervek is here, too! :-D

Thank you, Grandmaster TOZ!

If Oria is also still with us (let's give them a little time to find out we continue), do we even need a pregen? I believe we could simply continue with the 4 player adjustment, right?

Right you are! I miscounted on the player tab, so that solves that problem.

Question for everyone continuing, has your character participated in any other Blakros Museum adventures?

Yes.
Echos of the Overwatched
Voice from the Void
The Blakros Connection.
Oath of the Overwatched

Oh wow, we're back in business! Thank you very much for volunteering to fill in, TOZ!

Oria hasn't been through any Blackros scenarios on this character, but I've had my fair share on others. Certainly some worth a replay...

In terms of support from pregens? Kyra is the common pick, but we could also go with a front line defender. As I recall, Oria had to stand up front and she isn't exactly optimized for tanking. We're also short on rogue skills? Hmmm.

Kaervek played only one: #03-07 Echos of the Overwatched.

Regarding party composition, we are not quite optimized:

- Shaman 6
- Psychic 6
- Sorcerer 6
- Wizard 3

I think we really could do with another frontliner...

Man, try going at it with three healing clerics, a wizard, and a druid (no animal companion). :P

Blakros adventures, this character? I'm fairly sure not.

Someone with muscle and guile is what we could use, so a Cavalier, Gunslinger, Hunter, Inquisitor, Medium, Monk, Occultist, Ranger, Samurai, Skald, Slayer, Swashbuckler...or Vigilante?!?

Since we’re at four, I don’t think we can bring along an NPC. If Skorn wants to keep going with the replay, that will keep us at five but doesn’t solve the melee deficiency. It will certainly be interesting!

Oria, we're a full party. Time to go back to tanking!

Oria: "Yes, creator"

Amusingly enough, due to scenario mechanics Kaervek succeeds in aiding another. :)

Kinda hate to say it, but I LOL'd.

Well, Kaervek can do a bit of crowd control: entangle, stone call and a high initiative modifier (+9) should help against us squishy casters being charged. And there's also a summon monster II spell in his spellbook, but it doesn’t last very long at CL 3... should he go and buy a scroll of summon monster III?

should he go and buy a scroll of summon monster III?

All I can really say is, I wouldn't.

Anyone else ever read Incredible Hulk #1? The guy on slide #1 there reminds me of The Gargoyle.

Also, I love how that site has "Enlarged Head" as its very own category.

Because I was only in one other game I left my browser on that game and did not see that this has restarted until that other game ended. If you guys need me and the GM is good with it I will jump back in. But also fine not to do so.

That's perfectly fine, I just need to know what you want to do in order to confirm which sub-tier I use for the skill DCs.

I am level seven. Does that answer your question If not I might need more info. Been a while.

I just need to know if you are still part of the calculation.

Sorry to be confused. I am not sure how I have a choice there.

Are you dropping out or staying in? I'm assuming staying in, but I wanted to make sure.

I'll be glad if Shine comes back!

Ah, Yes. Sorry. I'll finish it up. Catching up on the Gameplay thread now./

No worries, this encounter is definitely a complex one, so we’re taking it easy on top of getting the table restarted from the break.

Party, I just want to make sure you've been following my innuendoes to you, having passed both checks to do so with flying colors (surely you'll agree at least the first one was "simple", DM)?
