Well we skipped two of yours and one of his, so technically that's true if you count the weeks as having games :p.

Shawn's Hiatus-ing.

So what's the plan for this game, and who's still playing?

I'm perfectly fine in playing next week. Hopefully you'll all be there.

Take the week off.

Looks like an excellent adventure thus far. Rath's journal was really cool. :)

I have all intention in being there, but there's a chance I'll have to work late and show up late.

I'm hoping neither happen; I really don't feel like doing overtime this week.

Game will start no later than 7. Make sure to be there at 6:45. I will start without you.

:)

I got a special session planned.

I will have to work late on Thursday, but I should still be home plenty early enough for the game, so long as nothing goes wrong, and nothing ever does, so we're fine.

Rathkor better not die. He has so much he's got to do.

My apologies. I won't be able to make it. GF has bought tickets for a special event. I am both down for missing the game and excited for the event (Rifftrax live).

Psionic Power was added to the October Character Builder update, so Darryl, you might wanna look into that if you're interested.

The great and wondrous Falagar shall be gracing you all with his presence. Assuming he doesn't forget.

Seriously, y'all. Have Rathkor call me if I don't show up. :bush:

Will do so tonight, thanks.

Also, I don't have to work late anymore, so I will be on-time :D.

EDIT: Holy crap, look at all the new powers! Damn, these new level 1 powers make my current Psion At-Will and Daily look like crap. We gotta get to level 2 so I can retrain at least one of these, guys!

Nope, now my main computer is crapped out, so I'm on another one entirely. Wee.

Doom, I'll call you early to remind you, because I KNOW you'll forget.

By the way, Jay, I just noticed that they changed the way dwarven racial bonuses to abilities work. Before it was +2 CON+WIS, but they changed it to +2 CON+(WIS/STR).

So I took the liberty of changing my ability scores around ever so slightly. The only difference right now is that I have 1 more HP but the changes will be more beneficial when I hit 4th level.

I just realized I don't even have character builder installed on this new computer.

Sigh.

Summeries and journal updates folks. Sorry it started slow but was over a month ago.

I hope you enjoyed. PM feedback if you have any.

Ciao

I think our characters make poor investigators.

Sorry I started to drag a bit at the end; I've not been getting much sleep this week. Tonight's no different.

Decisions made in this session will make the next session even more interesting. I hope folks are paying attention to the "small details". Since we got some people unwilling to share some knowledge they got, odds are the storyline still needs time to reveal itself. Do read the first page summary to remember what is going on, I understand it's been over a month since the last game. :)

Once the summary gets put up, Shawn it would be a good idea to read it and tell me how your character wants to handle it as I took liberties with your character during your absence.

Comedy of errors.

:p

I'm starting to look at level 2 utilities. I'll probably take either Defensive Stance or Inspiring Fortitude.

I've had my level 2 utility planned, but I wonder when we'll get there.

In fact, Jay, at the rate we're climbing, would it be okay to retrain one of my at-wills and my daily (as I've not used it yet for this day)--it's not like I made a mistake and want to dodge the consequence, but these were choices unavailable to me when we started the game and I'm kind of stuck with what was fairly meager offerings as it were.

Actually, with only 330 xp to go, and the meat of the encounters we could ave had so far avoided, I expect we could be level 2 by the end of next session. After all, it looks like we'll be starting out next week surrounded by thieves, halfling or otherwise. If they're connected to all this business (likely) then hopefully we can get some answers and move onto a big boss soon afterwards.

I don't think Jay's slowing down our progression, per se, we've just had a lot of encounters were the big enemy ran, or we ran from the big enemy.

Another question: Jay, I know you've got a lot of your campaign planned out. In the current absence of any other Thursday night games, do you plan to run your game EVERY Thursday night, whenever possible?

I don't think he's slowing it; I just think it's less than expected for low levels. I don't have a problem with it; I've just been dying to get my level 2 daily utility and abuse the hell out of its Sustain power to make it last all day, and also do cool fun stuff. The powers thing only came up because of that new update.

Thanks, Jay. I'll get you my new character sheet soon. It'll only be a couple powers' difference; I need to keep the Ardent one for the healing unless a better healing one was added.

In terms of progress, the experience points are going to be real and everything will be calculated. Things you do will provide you X amount of XP points. Encounters, XP amount of XP points depending on combat encounters, traps and also many roleplay events will all be part of things. What you decide to do, the consequences of it will matter later on. I think it will be cool to see later on. The storyline has also barely been grazed. Thus your progress will be steady. You won't hear me tell you that you gained a level between sessions. You'll find out as the game progresses.

Feel free to prepare your LVL 2 characters but do not take it as granted that's what is going to happen next session. :)

As far as how often my game will run. For the sake of sanity if it'll be the only D&D game, I have no problems running it every 3 weeks with a one week break. AKA 3 sessions, then break, 3 sessions, break. The break can easily be for those weeks where things such as holidays may get in the way of things.

What will happen next session? Will the "nameless company" survive the ambush within the slums of Dougan's Hole? What will Simkin's Rod of Folly do next? And will its previous owner Bubble seek Ogrish revenge?

I don't think anyone else wants more games, but if you guys want a second one again, I wouldn't mind DMing. I had a story arc that never got far off the ground due to schedule conflicts, so I've got some stuff stored up.

Also, I totally feel like we should've gotten full exp for the half-ogre. I know we didn't kill him, but I used a daily for it. Anyone else could've used powerful attacks to take him down and still not kill him. I also feel like we shouldn't be punished for letting innocents live. =P

That being aside, however, since sleep renders someone unconscious, does that mean they are Helpless and can be coup-de-graced?

I was thinking sleep wouldn't be overly useful on a group of monsters, but if it can be used to set up some coup-de-graces...
