The house of Zellara is going to be owned by the bank soon. It's a nice little home. Although by the time you arrive, it feels to be at peace. Are you ready to bury the head and hands of Zellara?

EltonJ - the problem is, you can't assign a Joker on *every* round by rolling a d4, that would be overkill. You need to know *if* a Joker has come up, hence the "1-4 on a d27" is also required.

I think what Agate didn't explicitly state about her method is that you are still rolling a d27 every round; if the value is greater than 4, no one gets a Joker. If the value is 1-4, *then* use your numbered list of PC names to determine who gets it. It saves having to make two rolls.

I understand.

He holds the ring and scroll that he found up for the others to see.

“What is this stuff? And why is she dead?!“ he asks.

“I have no clue about stuff like that. But I could check for any tracks maybe!“

No idea if that’s different, but can survival help to find out more about what happened here? If yes:

survival : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

You have a feeling that what's happened down here are connected to the clouds above.

You find a scroll under the clerk, along with a House Cannith signet ring

The church doors were closed.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

The opening swivels to the center corridor. Leading North, it appears to be some sort of office.

The room appears to be a small library or study. Two sturdy oak desks are set against the left wall. The rest of the room is filled with shelves lined with scrolls and leather-bound books.

The life like corpse of a dead female clerk is slumped over the nearer of the two desks.

Or just assign a different PC for numbers 1-4 excluding Malachi. Whichever number comes up gets the joker.

I like Agate's suggestion better.

1. Agate
2. Kara
3. Julian
4. Frankie

Joker's Wild: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Kara gets the Joker.

What time of day is it? Could we realistically leave and start heading back or would we be thinking about sleeping here?

It's late afternoon.

I can't find anything about elves in the two SW RIFTS sourcebooks. What is common knowledge about elves that our PCs would know?

They are beautiful, ethereally so. They like living in forests. Elven society can be quite insular, with elves often coming across as arrogant, sarcastic, and elitist to other races.

(See Rifts North America: Arcana and Mysticism page 24)

@GM - If it's not too much trouble can we use maps? I know from years ago that A1 and A2 have a lot of complex dungeons.

Not trying to take over...

It will take time to prepare the maps, Qstor. I'm preparing them now.

Okay, shall I assume everyone's in W2?

Just reading through Slave Pits of the Undercity, and the tournament characters have silly names.

Will we be doing a final scene in Orlane or moving right to the next adventure? Also, we should probably head to a bigger settlement if we want to buy better equipment (or have snakeskin leggings and/or boots crafted).

I would like to do a final scene, to give proper closure to the events that transpired.

Doc's perception check: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Doc's Perception:

You find a bronze key. It looks like a key that would fit a chest or a locked box.

Not sure if anyone's been tracking the treasure we've found in this campaign...I know I haven't.

Seems to me we found mostly troglodyte equipment before this jackpot. Maybe we can gift that to the villagers or Orlane to better defend themselves in the future.

From the naga's lair: 5,200 gp in coin works out to 1,050 gp each...assuming James doesn't grab a share.

@DM: Exactly what type of swords are the magic items we just found, and what type of magical ability dore each confer? +1 flaming longsword or maybe +1 flaming burst rapier? Inquiring minds (and greedy adventurers) want to know!

They are both short swords. +1 flaming short sword and a +1 frosting short sword.

The enemy warforged loses consciousness. He doesn't go inert, but Jeren's attack, and the others, had made him lose consciousness. He flops on the ground, his shadow weave cloak going about him.

James may well be the party's best chance for IDing the two magic swords. Once the party has rested--and leveled up--TT can try to ID each sword with detect magic and Spellcraft once per day. I'll make some rolls below, going under the assumption that we'd spend the night in the relative safety of the lair before heading back to Orlane the following morning.

Vesica Spellcraft Check (orange sword): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Vesica Spellcraft Check (blue sword): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Ooh--surprisingly decent rolls!

The blue sword is a frostbrand. The orange sword is a flametongue.

Hi everyone.

Do you want to continue this game?


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Two guards approach you.

"Did you start this fire?" one asks.

I'm looking to see if he tells the truth. The most common way I've found on the web to do this is that the person who answers makes either a Persuasion or Performance roll, and I make an Opposed Notice roll...

"No, I don't."

The wizard with you casts firebolt at the Naga.

"Take that, you blaggard!" exclaims the wizard. His flame arrow was heightened with Spell Penetration added.

"I'll make you all worship me in the end!" says the Naga as she burns.

ROUND 3 ENDS!

ROUND 4 BEGINS!

Both Sea Ranger and Scout managed to finish her off! Chestman Barrelhouse is still under the confusion effect. The wizard casts another dispel magic at Chestman.

Dispel Magic: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

And Chestman is returned to his normal self.

Oh, you all gain a level.

Robotting for Alenthieal.

Alenthieal takes careful aim, and shoots.

1d20 +6 for history or local.

Jorn, you notice he's weak in the joints, like Doc said. He's in Composite Armor, so you've got that going for you.

AC of 12. See page 8 of Races of Eberron.

The Warforged attacks Jorn! Whether he's judged or not, he doesn't care. After he kills Jorn, he's going to attack Doc!
rapier attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9, damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Jorn's and Ser Jeren's attacks were dead on. But he's not ready to surrender just yet!
