Yes indeed! Thanks for running another awesome game!
As for thoughts on the special, I think my only complaints would mirror those already stated. The pace was kinda rough at times, and especially in the transition from the museum up to Belkzen. It just felt like some very abrupt shifts, almost like they were separate scenarios entirely.
Remind me again, is this the special that's meant to be modular, so that new portions of the adventure will pop up throughout the next year or so? That might explain why the three major pieces felt somewhat disjointed.
Overall, it was a lot of fun as usual though. And man, those boons are cool! I was thinking about picking up the orc language with a linguistics skill point since we're hitting level 7 anyway, but then that boon gives it to us just for some PA? Yes please!

The chronicles look good to me, thanks.
I'll add this to the pile of PCs who need to be levelled up...

I've got a sizeable pile for that too, I know what I'll be doing tonight when I get home.

I'm going to pause our campaign for a few days to give you all a chance to level up. I know most of you are busy with other games for Gameday session 2 as well, so there's no real rush. Just tell me when you're ready. I've already got my slides prepared :) I like what I've read and I think you will too.

I think you may have mentioned before, but do we need means of water breathing?

Nope! And don't worry about purchasing underwater weapons either. There's time to purchase before the actual underwater part starts, and you'll know more about what you're getting into by that point.

Pieces of it get swapped out as the season progresses. It's why there's the Martyr's Shard boon. You can gain credit for Version B and C even after playing Version A. When do the others come out? Not sure, Hmm might know!

Mr Peppers is leveled and set (I think..). I passed up on the selective metamagic rod for now. I'm either going to save up for the mid level version or just wait until level 10 when I can get the feat myself. I did take haste and slow though if I don't want to blow things up! I also bumped up my cloak of resistance from +1 to +2.
I declared war on spell resistance with Potent Spell exploit for another caster level and spell penetration. I'll probably take greater penetration in another couple levels, which will leave me at an additional +8CL vs SR.

Gallix is all leveled up! Just debating about spending my cash. I'm quickly realizing I need to get my static AC bumped up a bit. The question is, do I just buy the +1 enhancement now for my MW chain shirt, or do I delay another scenario or two and save up for Elven Chain?
I picked up Lunge for my feat this level, though I'll probably use it only very sparingly. It's more of a feat tax to advance my style feat chain, which will start to get silly at level 8. :)

I'm all set. I'm at 16 XP, so I spent some money on a Cloak of Resistance +2.

Oh, I need to be level 7 to start this scenario. Let me burn my GM Star to get credit for Traitor's Lodge. Aaaaaand there we go. Now I'm level 7. (I was actually at 17 XP during the last post.)

Is everyone else ready to go and leveled up? I see Peppers, Sirettis, and Gallix are!

Guilty of not having leveled yet. :P
I'll work on that tonight.

Okay, Bret's assured me he still has Cup's 6.0 .por file, so I'll be able to update soon. (All my herolab files simply disappeared in the last update. It was scary.)

Hey folks. Sorry for the radio silence the past couple days. I'm out of town right now and won't have a ton of time to post until Sunday. Please feel free to bot as needed.
Thanks for your patience.

Caster check DC20 to use fire spells underwater... ouch. Guess scorching ray comes off the prepared list. What are you all's thoughts on fireball? With potent magic I'd need to roll an 11 for it to work on a d20. But if it does, that's a 9d6 boom boom. Things could be vulnerable to fire maybe too. Or I could prepare haste and slow and you melee and ranged can just go to town.
*Edit: Oh wait, der, I have lightning bolt. I'll just prepare that instead I guess. Bolt and.. haste? Here are my 3rd level options at present, but buying and learning a scroll is also an option perhaps.
Fireball, Lightning Bolt, Fly, Heroism, Haste, Slow

Haste and lightning bolt seem wisest.

I'm gonna assume we still start this the next day as you said so I can learn a scroll of touch of the sea and prepare it the next day?
If so I'm spending the 25g for the scroll and the 10g scribing cost. And I'll pick up 2 potions of it just in case, so 135g total.

Yup - it is the next day!
By the way, Gallix, feel free to retcon any underwater weapon purchasing/trading.

Thanks for the initiative reminder D. Luckily for the flow of combat, it didn't affect anything in this case. Did anyone else's change from leveling up to 7?

Uesugi: It all revolves around swim checks vs weight like it used to back in... 3.0? 3.5? You still have armor check penalties on swim vs a cumulative weight penalty.
Also, crossbow reloading sucks, you can only fire once before reloading a light crossbow. Standard to fire, move to reload, no matter how many attacks you can get with your BAB (unless of course you have the proper crossbow feats that make it essentially like a bow for multiple shots in a round.)

My post was going to be a backfill putting Touch of the Sea on everyone as we headed up to the Bloom.
GM Red, may I still have given Uesugi his boost?

VACATION NOTICE
My spouse is kidnapping me to San Antonio for our 20th Wedding Anniversary, and apparently we're leaving tomorrow!
Will I be able to do posts from the hotel in San Antonio? I have no idea. I may be able to advance the game at a post a day, or I may go into radio silence.
We'll be gone from October 22-27.
Bot me, please!

Yes, sorry D.Arth, but basically anything with a ranged attack roll is going to take -2 per five feet... It's right in the Aquatic Terrain rules.
Get your lightsaber out? :)
