Re: Exploration continues:

Tunnels: passages and the Crypt. The action once more splits in two as parry members prioritise different strategies. Edel , forewarned of the advancing Orc reinforcements, dashes back down the crypt steps to the fork in the passage and casts his Stinking Cloud spell behind the retreating rearguard...

Re: Exploration continues:

we best be ready if they follow." No ifs or buts, the Ogre and the reinforcement Orcs are advancing up the passage after Elwita, Brick and the others. So some conflict will happen regardless if you hang about or you can trigger more crossbows / javelins / slingstones / cleric spells at them as...

Re: Exploration continues:

"What is that terrible stench? Where does that passage lead to?"
"A stores area, looted goods and merchandise. It is surrounded by open sewers to dissuade intruders. Your friends murdered guards there, two lie in the passage still. Hence the hue and cry to hunt them down."

Re: PROLOGUE: Rockton Heights

Brynner One of the dour men responds to Huck’s inquiry, “Ain’t that why you answered the want ad? We don’t have time to fuck around in the wilderness, chasing Fungal Spawn.” Brynner finds their response that they 'don't have time' to be quite odd. They went to the camp as a matter of great importan...

Re: Exploration continues:

Re: Exploration continues:

Olleg steels himself and resumes his position at the head of the marching order, alongside Brick.
Brick is securing your rearguard with a range attack, using a crossbow from the slain Orcs. Elwita will do likewise.

Re: Exploration continues:

Brick looks around for a rock
the dead Orcs had light crossbows, so you could take one from them and you have several javelins (one enchanted) marked on your sheet.

Re: Original Dungeons & Dragons - Tournament Game

How do I set up a campaign number? I don't know what that is. You will need to to register with the Dice Roller forum, a link to that should be at the top left of your screen. You register in that forum the same way as the Unseen Servant forum, the are relationally linked but separate entities. Onc...

Re: Exploration continues:

Tunnels: intersection. The group stand on guard at the junction of the two passages. The NW-SE passage is more than 150'ft long. At its southern end, it opens into the guarded Aspis Cave with a giant ant tunnel opening a few yards before it on the left. The injured Giant Weasel retreated this way a...

Re: Original Dungeons & Dragons - Tournament Game

Ordinarily I would be interested but I am currently running the A1: Slave Pits and subject to the module success, will hope to run the subsequent A-series in order, which would include the Slave Lord Dungeon escape too.

So I shall wish you success but count myself out.

Re: Exploration continues:

Durrant, Jacupo & Rogger can each take out one of those sleeping guards. A merciless slaying but necessary given the danger they might pose should they awake.
This is done.

Re: Strategy Talk: plans & player discussions:

Fawkes used a Command spell, spoken in Orcish "release" to get the weasel to let go of Goran in the Memorial Cemetery. But the weasel will get a saving throw check, so it is not guaranteed and it is effective for only a single round.

Re: Exploration continues:

I had pointed out I wanted to remain in sight of the fight, so it should be visible from where we are, correct?
Yes, I am fine with Edel being 30'ft into the passage and Blodgett being around the curve part about 60'ft in.
