I see. Can I power attack when making a grapple check to deal damage?
Yes. Unarmed strike damage for a large creature is 1d4.
Alaric should probably be in the middle. Everything else sounds fine to me.
I was going to say it's somewhat refreshing that you're in an actual underground dungeon, but then I realized it's like the fifth one: Cave in Brinestump Marsh, caverns under Brinewall Castle, basement level of Ravenenscraeg Keep, tunnels in the ice at Tunuak's bore. And there would have been one more if you'd gone into Vegsundvaag's Crevasse. D&D likes to get people underground.
This one kind of has a more classic dungeony feel to it somehow, though.
Well, yeah. It's Moria!
Currently we have:
Alaric - middle
Everyone else - wherever the heck I feel like
Since you'll be getting into it quite soon, just wanted to note that
Oh ~ sorry
probably near Alaric.
Kalimac should be near the front with the less squishy members.
Once he has incorporated or double-checked the matters noted on the bottom of his character sheet, Rhost will be APPROVED.
This is done now. It's amazing what procrastination will gain you.
1) Traps - Sounds good.
2) Marching Order - Closer to the front.
3) Advance/Rear guard - Also reasonable.
Marching order: Front.
I'll get around to the rest shortly.
I am also fine with the Traps idea and the Advance/Rear Guard idea.
I have 6 (morale) + 3 (entertainers) + 4 (royal wagon) + 4 (heroes) = 17
2) Why are there the words "do not use" in front of your "Charming" trait?
don't think it's been appropriate from after first day/week of gameplay
Dungeon Crawl Mode Updates
1) Traps: is good2) Marching Order: where ever appropriate. I would assume middle
3) Dungeon Crawl Mode with the Caravan: fine
Myriana would make the determination of where Silmemir is.
I think normally with her unless others feel the caravan needs an additional guard.
Lio is in the middle or the back. She's squishy. Unless the situation calls for survival rolls or heaps of perception... those are her two highest skills.

Liothonae --
Other than that, Liothonae is APPROVED.
1) You forget Silmemir, and added a couple of NPCs who are not present; I think you were using an old template.
2) Giving yourself an attack bonus for one round doesn't make a lot of sense; by the time your next turn comes around, the round will be up and you won't be able to use it.
Nothing says "your DM wants to kill you" like everyone having to roll half a dozen saves against paralysis. :P
I assume Alaric's incredibly powerful ability was Freedom's Call from the Liberation domain? Shouldn't that take a standard action to activate, though? Since it's a (Su) and there's no overriding text.

You mean the ability that was so completely game-imbalancing that no one knew he even had it until now? That ability?
Quick minor comments on your assignment of bonuses, since it's still a relatively new ability:
1) You forget Silmemir, and added a couple of NPCs who are not present; I think you were using an old template.
Oops. Yeah, I copied and pasted from the "Fake Hrunndalf" battle. I thought I'd fixed all the changes from that battle to this one, though.
I think I should use the list of combatants that is at the bottom of each Battle Map you send.
2) Giving yourself an attack bonus for one round doesn't make a lot of sense; by the time your next turn comes around, the round will be up and you won't be able to use it.
Given that they specifically state that the cavalier can use the Strategy ability on himself, I figured that the only way that makes sense is if the round starts ticking down after he uses it. So the +2 to hit also encompasses his next round that has attacks in it. Otherwise it's a pointless bonus.

That makes sense. OK, let's go with that.
Also:
Concentration Check: +12 (+9 CL, +4 Wis)
Wouldn't that add up to +13?
Several times I have written "Rhost drops out of Rage, and pants" -- this is the first time I haven't caught it and corrected it before an hour had passed.
To clarify, this should be "Rhost drops out of Rage, panting" -- this time.
You have shattered my belief that Rhost drops his pants after every combat.
"It's a little late to try and impress them, Rhost."
Alaric will loot the graves. It's not like the dead have any need for baubles anymore.You collect funerary goods worth a total of 8,347 gp.
Alaric resolves to blow it all on booze and whores.

Huh. I could have sworn I responded to that. Maybe it was just in my head. I remember composing a response.... Must be the Arizona heat getting to me. And I did get busy, so maybe I forgot to hit Submit.
I'll get something out tonight.

No.

Umm... We are traveling with Varisians, not Sczarni. I know we all look the same to you northerners, but really...

it's not just Varizians looking like Sczarni... you humans all look alike ;)
I don't think there's a visual way to tell a Sczarni from a Varisian, especially considering that Sczarni generally are Varisians. But yeah, I did read Sandru's part in the Player's Guide.
I assume it's because some people might find graverobbery objectionable?
8 matching bracelets (1600 gp)
claim please
It'd be nice if we could get this particular loot claim sorted out relatively quickly (as it'd be nice to know, for example, if someone takes the armor and therefore has a different AC before we get to the next encounter, etc.) I won't change the deadline, but I would like to encourage prompt decision making on it.
No claims.
Unless any of the weapons or armor are conveniently hobbit-sized, no claims.
Claimable items:
claim Goggles of Minute seeing +5 competence bonus to disable device (1250 gp)
No claims
