Pull my finger!
Also, see the play thread.
You guys were killing me. I kept waiting for someone to ask where the other finger went. Worked that stupid hand into like eight scenes, lol. Ah well, I can't win them all. :)
If you think about it, you might start kicking around company names for Lavinia's charter, see if you come up with anything you all like.
Argh...that was my fault. My cat got sick, so been taking care of him.

I can sympathize. Stayed up all night with our oldest cat, then spent the morning burying her.

Sorry, brother. I gotta find a home for our 2, my son is having allergy issues. I don't wanna take 'em to the Humane Society but I am getting no responses from my posters in town looking for a home for them, so they have 2 more weeks before they have to go, and it kinda sucks. Lost my Bassett 2 christmases ago to Bloat and spent 4-5 monthes in a depression over it, it was like losing my first-born.

We're pretty lucky in that where we live, there is a shelter called M.A.R.L that doesn't euthanize. Two of our four (three now) cats come from there.
We could be like the AoW playtest group and name our group after the first one to die. My money's on Tyndal. ;}
I'm usually pretty forgiving about dead people, provided they don't do it too often, lol.
Same deal as last time. Bonus 25 XP to anyone who can guess correctly what evil (or potentially empty room) I'm about to spring on you.
Don't forget to split your money either. Assuming an even split and no one makes the haggling roll, you are still looking at 21 and change apiece.

Hey now! You're probably right :)
Question...did we have time to rest up before descending into the family crypt?

Yep. Everyone is fully healed (goodberries + full day's rest), and spells are recovered. I added a few low level hippies who wander around the glade and more or less live there.
Sorry I'm not around much right now, guys. I'm right in the middle of installing the sound systems on the mazes for Universal Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights, and we've hit the crunch days, though I should be around to post a little more often after tonight.
If Anders needs to be NPC-ed: he seems to have come down with a head cold or something, so today he's kind of shuffling after the party in a bit of a daze, and not his usual witty and clever (if a little dark) self.
No worries, sounds like fun; I love Halloween.
I'm 96% certain Anders would run screaming directly into the dark room. It's what I would do.....
Sounds perfectly in character to me.
How are we doing on the puzzle? Need a hint, or think you have it?
Not related:
"I think kloo is goblin for teapot."
I thought it was giant for "Reason to smash things"
Way to go. I was afraid at first I didn't leave enough breadcrumbs.
When I think up these little puzzles on the spur of the moment, sometimes they turn out better as a mental construct....

You came up with this stuff mwbeeler? I just assumed it was from the adventure as written ... I read through it, once, about a year ago, so my memories pretty hazy.
I guess what I'm saying is that it seems like it COULD be from the adventure (ie, it's good stuff), but I like that your changing things enough that those with better memories than I can still get a surprise from things.

Is it a magical teapot?
On another note...

Yeah. I vaguely remember something involving a chart with numbers of eyes on it, but this version makes more sense. However, trading the Rhagodessa for an advanced Shocker Lizard kind of startled me. What self-respecting sadis... I mean, Dungeon Master would trade a CR 4 creature for a CR 3 creature voluntarily? Unnatural, that is... ;}

Heh. Yeah I got it too, though I never can spell the suckers properly.

Thanks :)

Don't feel bad about the spelling, I had to look that one up as well!
Speaking of sadistic humor...the blank wall. I couldn't help myself.
I loved the new puzzle. It was like a cross between the first puzzle of Savage Tide and the first puzzle of Age of Worms. My AoW PbP is in that part of the Whispering Cairn right now, so it was quite amusing timing.

Yeah, but the Theatrical Death feat throws at least another 1-2 CR on the creature due to the extra attack(that can be a special attack) and the increased use of resources for the extra round of it absorbing attacks. Imagine a dragon that gets another whole breath attack and lives an extra whole round.....it may be dead but it could wipe out several people with it's final attack...scary.
I look at it like boar's ferocity, but with more panache. At least it wasn't "Spaghetti Western Demise," or I'd have to have it scream and tumble backwards off a roof...

I loved AoW, I wonder if I subconsciously integrated it? I forget when the whole rainbow thing hit me, but the original eye-puzzle lock just rubbed me the wrong way; ugh. Besides, I like you to be able to read along with the storyline if you choose and still have the ability to go, "What the crap is that now?"
CLW wand sounds good to me.
I like Company of the Lizard.
I don’t mind the Company of the Lizard (or we could just be The Shockers ….)
Eldin will certainly put in a vote for a wand of CLW. There are six of us right? So one wand would be 125gp each. Maybe one (in the hands of Eldin) is enough for now, with Terin having a few scrolls for emergencies. That allows everyone to purchase something else with their remaining cash.
A Wand of CLW would be a great idea. Although i would hope you use it very little on me.
I am fine with either name for our company.
The GP limit for Sassarine is pretty high; I don't think tracking down a CLW wand should be an issue. High Market would be expensive, but I don't see why Eldin couldn't get one at cost at his temple, especially with him being relatively popular. I forgot to ask, who is carrying the ring?
Spewing ideas:
The Sassarine Six
Vanderboren Valients
The shocker and the rainbow
The Reclaimers
You are all so close to level I was sorely tempted to throw a random combat your way. All in good time I suppose. ;)
Just a heads up guys, it is a public holiday here on Monday.
Queen's Birthday already, is it? Just as well, (every) month end is typically nuts here. I'm off the next two days though, so I might prep a bunch of stuff in advance.

No, we do Queen's Bday in June (I'm not sure exactly which queen it is we're celebrating ... I don't think Lizzie 2's b'day is then) - this one is "Labour Day" or something.

Ah yeah.....my mistake! I think it depends on the current monarch (the name / celebration, not the date). Holidays are hard to track in a 24/7/365 shop.
Name ideas:
The Shock Squad
The Buzzcocks
The Eldin Farstrider Experience, Featuring Anders Delymbir
If you're looking for a fight to level us...you could have a gambler get caught cheating while dicing with Tyndal. Nice bar brawl for that last little bit.
(I'm using Rome's Titus Pullo as inspiration for Tyndal, so that dice scene pops into mind)
The bar fight scenario had crossed my mind, but it seemed so hackneyed I eventually internally vetoed it. Unfortunately, the Lotus aren’t looking for you just yet, either, and I hate to just contrive something out of convenience on my part.
I have the ring. Let's ID it.
I'll throw in 20gp, the rest of you would need to toss 16 gp each my way to cover the identify cost.
Done.
Good deal. If you are set on the wand and id'ing the ring, I will do a quick overview tonight after I wake up, and send Kora by if you are set on a name. If not, by all means no rush. Go ahead and adjust your cash totals accordingly, and let me know if there is anything else you are looking for. As far as incidentals go, I'm usually not picky in campaigns where they aren't a big factor (out of rations, hey, looks who's starving to death in the sea of dinner rolls....!).
