So cool to actually SEE the maps! You did a good job describing the layout as the maps I drew are nearly identical!

How about a thread listing our honored dead?

Ah, good idea! I forgot about that...

Thanks! It's funny that the sample dungeon in the original rules is full of tricks designed to foil the party mapper. There used to be much more of an emphasis on getting hte party lost .

The entire "labyrinth" level in Skull Mountain was intended that way, it seems. Made for a difficult time describing via PBP from a DM's perspective. DMing encounters is one thing, but when the map itself is an "encounter" then you've got quite a different thing entirely.

Actually that's a phrase I would use to describe YOU greyarea!
@merias: What is the meaning of "Nolenor"? Might I offer " Dai and Aresenios' Excellent Adventure."?

LOL - Nolenor is the name of the kingdom you live in. I wrote it on the first hex map I made of the area, then cut the name off of the cropped image and forgot about it until now .

And you know you love it!

One more post and I am good!

Greyarea, the list of languages Drizzle speaks was just random, if you want to pick a set of languages more to your taste, go for it.

Oh, also same for anything else I posted - like the marching order in the 'standard actions' thread - change it if you like. I just brought that over from the last I had in my notes.

I'm sure this is fine, although wouldn't ancient dragon just be dragon? or is it like Old English -- an ancient form of the dragon tongue. (And if that's the case, I'd love it if you worked that into the adventure at some point).

Yes, ancient like not spoken anymore by any living dragons, perhaps Drizzle came across a rosetta-stone like tome in the cellars of the Fingford royal library.

Careful, you might get what you wish for

A dragon in a dungeon? Someone should make a game about that...

You better hurry, the mage is off exploring on his own

Collected my scattered scrawlings regarding Arsenios. I believe he only has 6 hitpoints at Lvl 2! Not sure what melee weapon he has. The treasure maybe high and I have no listing for mundane gear. I need to cross check vs. Google Docs.

I'm just waiting on actions for Ruby and Arsenios before I resolve the first round - no rush as I know jcftao is busy with the move.
