Flynn updated. 7 lovely HP gain...
D10 [1d10] = 6+1

so i rolled a 3 for cleric
and a 4 for fighter

I get a +2 for const bonus.

So, cleric (3+2)/2 rounds to 3
and fighter (4+2)/2 rounds to 3

= +6

Please correct if that is incorrect interpretation.

Looks to be about right, I tend to round up myself when dealing with beneficial numbers. I will update the HP thread and possibly the finalized character sheet if you have not done so already.

I'll be away from the computer or a laptop for a good portion of the day. I will check the thread and update the story sometime later in the afternoon, or evening for that matter. (E.S.T.)

Just as a reminder guys, we are trying to keep the post rate at around once a day or every other day. If I find some posting gaps inbetween, I may have to make use of that wandering monster patrol roll. Just to keep everyone on their toes and all that!

If for some reason I miss posts feel free to NPC Flynn as the arrogant gentleman he is.

Admittedly, just as there is always a violent way to settle things, there is always a more peaceble alternative. I'm typically fine with going either route and usually reward experience points accordingly, however, I am also at the beck and call of the actions and decisions of the players. Ultimately, my role of the DM is not that of a player, but more of a facilitator. So if the majority of the group seems keen on attacking first and asking questions later, I will have to respect their choice in the matter.

onlyme wrote:!#$%^ after Whitsell's passionate whisper about not killing first, etc seems a bit hypocritcal to just suprise them with a blade to the appendix... So, he can either stay quiet for a moment, or jump out and ask them to surrender.

Fate can be very twisted indeed, forcing an honest metalsmith of Karnagee to pick up steel and turn it not on the forge, but on fellow man. And what of his compatriots? Surely a man's actions shout louder than any words that can be uttered. A willingness to kill, an unwillingness to do so, the ever eternal battle of a cleric thrusted into a world of confused morals and truths. Will he come out of this battle a scarred man, physically, mentally? Or does courting with danger and battle create such inevitable scars? It's situations like these that tests the resolve of a man's faith, in what he believes in being right and wrong, and whether he has what it takes to see things through to the end.

But you know, I could have completely taken that statement and blown it out of proportions. If that's the case, I apologize.

re: surprise segment actions

It's up to the DM, of course, but a surprise segment can allow a full round of attacks:

"Actions that would normally happen over the course of a round may be completed in one surprise segment: talking, attacking, charging, closing to melee, beginning a spell, etc., provided that it is possible for the action to take place during a single segment." OSRIC p. 125.

Happy Birthday onlyme!

As the DM, I have the power to magically materialize objects into my gameworld, so.... was Whitsell looking for anything in particular?

Well, he doesn't have any holy water. Is that really necessary for a cleric? if so, he would ask for a drop or two of that. (if it isn't too expensive)
If not, I have no idea what to ask for him. He found his chainmail...

What cleric is complete without a +2 rapier? Haha. Happy Bday!

Happy birthday onlyme!

On the approaching bandits, I'd rather duck in the door, wait till they pass, then jump out behind them to get the back stab and probable surprise (as Gustov would too).

Definitely Gustov's preference. Just need to make sure they don't raise any alarms beforehand.

The following cleric spells use Holy Water as a component:

Bless
Protection from Evil

Also, Holy water deals 2d4 damage to any undead target for each vial used.

Some cursed items may require daily washing in holy water, but that's something you guys don't have to worry about right now.

1)Thanks, it was a nice and quiet one with the family.
2) Per today's note, they are stationed in a room. We probably need to take the action to them instead of ambushing.

The House Rule Thread has been updated.

I just checked the character list under my campaign on the Unseen Servant Roller, and I found an additional member to the group... who the heck is Gaerik? Did I miss something?

I know that room is starting to feel all nice and cozy now, but if you guys stay there for too long, STUFF might happen!

Monster Spawner at the ready.... *finger hovers over dice roll button*
You know what? Maybe that's too simple for you guys... maybe I should really start throwing things into chaos, see how your characters respond.

As soon as we can fight our way clear we'll be leaving this room.

It seems we're waiting for the smoke to clear now for next actions.
