I know this is last minute but tonight at 6:30 PM EST we are looking for 1-3 more players for The Cyphermage Dilemma via Roll20.net. The first three players that PM me get the spots and I'll send you the link to the game. Currently we have a 2nd level summoner, 2nd level rogue and a 1st level monk (kinda scary right?) so we are aiming at Tier 1-2. Thanks,
It is here the fallen should be honored. Whether in The Camp, the Desolation, at the Temple City's walls, or within Tsar itself, those who have lost their lives will always be remembered for their sacrifice in this thread. We'll keep this like obit pages on AP boards. Name:
I expect this thread to be quite large before it's all said and done. My group is at 6th level right now, so in about 3-4 sessions they will be making their way to The Camp. I'm sure I will be making more than one contribution here as well.
How prominently does it play in the AP? The reason I ask is a player created a back story for his character where he followed a monk of Irori and a few of his disciples to Branthlend from his home town of Restov to begin a monestary (it's currently a log cabin). Returning to Restov to visit family, gather supplies, etc... he discovered the charter and believed it would help his fledgling monestary's future to join the expedition. I've only read Stolen Land (we've just finished the first two sessions of the campaign) as I try to not go too far ahead in preparation to keep things fresh for me. So I was wondering if his back story could be problematic for me down the line or could it be fodder for some good story elements as the AP continues forward? Any help would be greatly appeciated. Thanks in advance.
I'm assuming most would say no. The reason I ask is my group will be encountering Liebdaga this week and if I wanted to use him to his full potential despite his weakened condition, I would not use the tactics outlined in his stat block. Liebdaga tactics:
The modules tactics: Liebdaga opens combat by casting fireball at the densest group of PCs. On the second round of combat, he takes a round to focus his thoughts so that on the third round of combat he can make a full attack action. He repeats these tactics, saving his spell-like abilities to use against foes if he can’t engage them in melee.
What I would do: Liebdaga opens combat by casting wall of fire, second round refocus, third round fireball and move to stand in wall of fire, refocus, full attack action. Repeating full attack while standing in the wall. I mean, that's what devil's do man. They can't be hurt by fire. But the tactics I think are also written to help with the CR-appropriateness of the encounter in mind. At least that's what I've observed. Do folks pay attention to the tactics or at least keep them in mind when the encounter starts? |
