well I don't need to get drunk and watch all sorts of blasphemous acts and I'd like a decent place to sleep.

[Darkmane]

It's ok, you can admit to caving into my evil GM, split the party and destroy them vibes, I'll turn my tesla inspired ray gun a notch or two.... Lol

[GreyWolfVT]

You VILE VILLAIN! GM/DM's are not inherently evil Gnomes are

[Darkmane]

Ok you guys are headed to the blackstar, ill update tpnigt or tomorrow'

[GreyWolfVT]

hmm you mean the lone gnome was able to cox the entire group lol nice!

[GreyWolfVT]

I would find it a lot easier to read posts if everyone can use the full editor and use the dialog and occ so I can see the differences by using the correct colors

[spanningtree]

Since we are out and about, Tella's usual spell load out is:

Snilloc's Snowball
Magic Missile x 2
Flaming Sphere
Continual Light

She did cast continual light earlier though. Inventory updated with "piece of chalk infused with continual light".

[GreyWolfVT]

Generally Glimble will always have the following spells for the day.

Cure Light Wounds
Light
Aid

[ybn1197]

Sorry everyone. Been swamped these past couple of days. I will have my character finished and a first post by the end of the day.

[GreyWolfVT]

Work happens Ybn

[Darkmane]

So it's 1. To the Blackstar for sleep. 2. The day in Waterdeep to gather any last minute items. 3. To the Yawning Portal to see what's up there.


How are your food and water reserves? Do you want to try and seek out any hirelings or anything else? If you guys are set I'll send you over to the Yawning Portal tomorrow morning.

Also, any specific marching order for in the dungeon?

[spanningtree]

I'm game for heading over to the portal. Tella is fine with acting as a lantern/torch bearer as long as it does not interfere with casting. Let me know how that works in this game. She has no additional inventory needs but she does wake up early in the morning to re-memorize continual light.

[GreyWolfVT]

I am fine I think with what I have but I might take a look again and see if i need anything else for venturing underground. Glimble too offered to be a lantern bearer if needed. Otherwise no I think no hirelings needed. Marching order I don't care how we go really makes sense to protect the spell casters though and have some stealth like a ranger near the front and some muscle watching our backs too.

In looking I think Glimble will be looking for the following items to buy:

Magnifying Glass (unfortunately too expensive in the PHB) 100gp
Bullseye Lantern 12gp (PHB)
3 Lamp Oil Flasks 6cp per flash (PHB)
Signal Whistle 8sp (PHB)
Tent small 5gp (PHB)
Hammer 5sp (AD&D 2e Core 2,0 software)
4 Iron spike 5 cp (found online)

[ylinett]

Food could be an issue if we get stuck down there, but water can be an issue much more quickly. As for marching order as long as we have a trap finder in front I would be glad to take point.

[GreyWolfVT]

I have a weeks worth of dry rations on myself as well as a full waterskin so I'm not as concerned I don't intent to go real far at first anyways heeding the advice from Durnan.

Keeping Track

Hey guys, before we get too far into Undermountain I'd like to ask you guys to use a specific system for tracking things. Back on the Player Character Sheet Thread, could you guys track important things underneath your character sheet in plain text here is an example (at a minimum please track you HP and items/treasure you use or pick up while adventuring):

Medical Record:
24HP (3rd level)
24->22 (hobgoblin arrow)
22->16 (orc)
16->20 (CLW)
etc...

Items:
used 1 torch
Arrows (started with 20) current total = 18
Found amber gem.
Acquired Sword +1


Also, in battle I'm going to use a single 1d12 roll for each side for initiative each round, first person to respond when a battle starts can roll it. I'll then modify it with your weapon speed/spell speed when figuring out the order in which to resolve actions.

Game on, have fun guys!

[GreyWolfVT]

ok can do Darkmane.

[spanningtree]

Will do, thanks! One question, how many of us are actually descending out of the characters listed?

[GreyWolfVT]

I know so far at least 4 of us said we were going down.

[Darkmane]

I assumed you all went down, and not everybody had a chance to respond - we are moving pretty quickly here. Hopefully, all 6 of you are down in the dungeon and everybody deducted 1gp.

If anybody wanted their character to stay up in the city, just let me know, and I can work that out in a separate thread.
