#8–07 From the Tome of Righteous Repose - Chronicle Question

[Jim Hale]

I'm looking at the chronicle and man there's a ton of loot. My question is are you supposed to cross off things not covered in the arc you're currently playing or do the players get the whole kit-n-kaboodle no matter what arc they play?

If you're supposed to cross things off, is there an official list of what you keep based on the arc played?

Thanks! :)

[Iff]

You're supposed to keep only those things your party actually found, so that is dependent on the arc, and on how the scenario played out in practice.

The Orc Troop Arc does not contain any loot that is available on the chronicle.

Simply open the spoilers for the location and plot arc you chose and the appropriate subtier. The items listed under each spoiler are items that can be obtained for the chronicle with that specific location or plot (as per usual, the party has to actually find those items). Do NOT add the items for the lower tier to the higher tier, as the characters are not meant to gain access to the wands for the lower tier if they play the higher tier; all of the tiers have all of their included loot listed. Some of the options listed for high tier will be on the low tier item list.

Magic items aren't italicized because formatting this was already a nightmare.

THANK YOU! :D

I figured that's how it worked but needed to make sure. :)

I missed this by a day. Had to keep track on a chronicle sheet as I ran it yesterday, scaring my players in the process.

[Jim Hale]

What arc did you run - how was it? I'm running it 12/22 - my first non-[T1-2] Evergreen.

Looks a bit intimidating. :)

"Orc troop"? Well knot my hair and call me Ragnar, I've played it twice and still somehow missed that opponent?

There's 4 possibilities, so you missed at least 1 more too. I ran Undead Crusaders in Lastwall in tier 6-7 for 3 and a pre-gen Lem. Two tips:

1) Once you have your choices made, build it like a standard scenario in a Word document so that stat blocks are with room descriptions and you know where items are.

2) Be prepared to adapt tactics of creatures to the abilities (more likely lack of abilities) of the party. For example, don't force them to stay in the dungeon after the level 5 rolls and re-rolls a 1 on a Fort save vs. losing 4 negative levels to a Bodak's Death Gaze. Don't throw 2 wraiths and a vampire at them all at once, give them a chance to deal with them individually and follow tactics that decrease lethality of creatures.

Dotting the thread, so I can reference Minna Hiltula's lists above. Preparing to run this at Gen Con, so no idea which subtier, or whether I'll have players who have already done the scenario.
