They Who Dwell in Shadow (ooc and questions lll)

[ChubbyPixie]

Whew! Ok. I was just alarmed at the lack of posting. Also, turtle-house.

[Inferno]

Everyone, please join me in welcoming drpete and wolfpack to the game, portraying the roles of Pip and Brevos.

Drpete and wolfpack, please post your character sheets here.

Welcome aboard!

[Inferno]

Hey guys,
I'll be traveling this holiday weekend and may be unable to get online. Back on Thursday, 7/6.
See you then.

[Scott308]

Welcome to the game, fellas!

[OGRE MAGE]

Welcome! Welcome!

Glad to have you on board!

[Inferno]

Grothnak
I can change that if it's too full of levity for this campaign.

Wait. I mean:

[ChubbyPixie]

New characters, whaaaat? Sweet!

Welcome, guys.

[SocraticLawyer]

Welcome!

[drpete]

Hi folks! Hope ya don't mind us jumping in

[SocraticLawyer]

FYI, I'll be out of town this week, with limited internet access. Please NPC Urdur if I don't respond. I'll be back on 7/9.

[Inferno]

Hey gang,

I'm back, but won't interrupt the character interaction just yet. <<sits back, content to watch a while>>

[Inferno]

Bo
Bo continues filling in the details of the groups latest journey, not leaving out any of the gory details concerning the town, church, and the despicable tunnels under the earth.

Gory details are here.
Pretty much from Chapter 3 on.

This will take some time to relay.

After nightfall, will the party risk light sources, or make due with the moonlight diffused across the veil of clouds above? Feel free to indicate which in the IC thread, please. Thanks.

Bo
Not sure on Hooms hit points....

Hoom has 5 hit points, out of a maximum of 12.

I believe Bo and Avril each have one spell slot left with which to cast healing magic.

[Scott308]

I'm on vacation this week so I don't know how much posting I will be able to do.

[Inferno]

Thanks for the heads up, Scott. Have fun!

[Inferno]

We need a new marching order that includes Brevos the ranger, Pip the monk, and Urdur the illusionist please.

Thanks.

[wolfpack]

Brevos will take point, with his tracking ability and with rangers only being surprised on a 1 in 6 its a natural position.

[SocraticLawyer]

I won't bother rolling for HP recovery for Urdur, as his 12 CON gives him at least 1 point and he is only down 1.

I'm fine with any marching order, so long as Urdur is in the middle!

[Inferno]

Bo
After his morning routine, Bo fills the newcomers in on the plan for the day, showing them the map for easy reference.

Fyi, wolfpack and drpete, that information is in this post:

...they locate the cultists' trail at the edge of a broad and fetid marsh. Rushes, twisted trees and stagnant water extend as far as the eye can see.



The heroes believe another full day of walking lays before them. But further advance involves wading through two feet of black water. The trail remains clear, however. Dead, grasping branches and weeds are pushed back....

Map:

Red trail is the cultist map's path. Red X is that trail's destination.
White trail is the heroes' path from Briarsgate. White X marks their current location.

[Inferno]

Everyone, advancing in two feet of water will slow movement, especially for the gnomes, of course.

It will also have an effect on the ability to move quietly and surprise others.

Just a heads up.

Brevos will take point...

How many feet ahead of the party will Brevos be, please? Thanks.
