Please post today

Please place your posts today so that I can post tonight. I am specifically looking for input from Matt and Daren. Please weight in on what the group should do.

There is talk of resting in the crypt. If this is the case, please pick a location to do this. A copy of the map of explored areas can be found in the attachments section of http://sites.google.com/site/zombiehomepage/Home/zombie-s-d-d-pathfinder-page/pathfinder-play-by-blog. It is named PBB_Map_Explored_To_Date. It is an Excel file.

I plan to work in Christian and Matt Falk with the next GM turn post. I still need a character from Matt Falk.

After this turn, Jean and Blunderbuss will be retired (unless Matt Falk does not provide a character).

Barrow of the Forgotten King - GM Turn Post 61

Investigation reveals that the sarcophagus did not contain a body but did contain four items that radiate magic:

A vestment
A set of bracers
A quiver
A rapier

There is also a scroll written in Draconic.

What do you do next?

Thurstan twisted the dagger in the hand of one of the statues of an elf.

A grinding noise emanated from the room to the southwest. Upon investigation , it was revealed that the door to the south had opened to a small chamber containing an ornate sarcophagus.

Need player posts by noon tomorrow

I need player posts before noon tomorrow to post a turn before I leave. I need to know what you plan to do and how you will divide the treasure.

The new players should plan to start posting with the turn that I post on Monday.

Daren will be playing Torvald. Christian will be playing Keltor Ironwood, Druid/Barbarian. I am still looking for a character from Matt Falk. That should mean that Jean and Blunderbuss are making an exit. (If Matt does not get me a character, Blunderbuss can be played until he does).

Barrow of the Forgotten King - GM Turn Post 60

A search of the wererat’s body reveals the following:

Masterwork studded leather
Masterwork rapier
Masterwork light crossbow
6 bolts
5 silver bolts
Magic cloak
Potion
Masterwork thieves’ tools
Key

A search of the room reveals that the door to the south and the statue both radiate moderate auras of magic. The door is locked and radiates abjuration magic. The statue radiates illusion magic and magical writing appears upon the pages of the open book. It reads:

Two as one can win the day,
The one with two shows the way,
Brave the blade to break the seal,
Twist the knife, it will reveal.

What do you do next?

Banjo, Clint, Thurstan and his wolf could not reach the action and were forced to wait in hopes of getting a chance to attack.

Blunderbuss raged and power attacked with his great axe. The blow landed a critical hit dealing a devastating 46 points of damage through the monster’s damage reduction, killing it.

Jean and Torvald looked around for more danger but nothing appeared immediately.

Thanksgiving Posting Schedule

Due to the holiday, I will have to modify the posting schedule a bit.

Assuming that I get the required player responses, I will plan to post a turn tonight.

I can post another turn on Wednesday before I go out of town. This will likely happen around 12:00 PM and assumes that I get player responses.

I will be away and without a computer until some time on Saturday. We will be doing Christmas decorations on Sunday during the day. I will get caught up on e-mail and posts on Sunday afternoon/evening.

I will plan the next post for Monday, 11/30/09. This is when I plan to include Christian, Daren and Matt F. in the game. Christian made a character, Daren is playing Torvald and I am still waiting for a character and an acceptance to the blog invite from Matt F. I am not sure how the characters are going to be worked in yet but please be prepared to play. I also plan to update the web site and the character summary file based on the player changes.

Banjo, Clint, Thurstan and his wolf could not reach the action and were forced to wait in hopes of getting a chance to attack.

Blunderbuss raged and power attacked with his great axe. The blow landed dealing a solid 14 points of damage through the monster’s damage reduction. Jean attacked with both hand axes but the ranger missed his target with both.

The wererat attacked Torvald but missed the paladin with both its rapier and its bite.

Torvald power attacked with his longsword. The damage was reduced by the toughness of the creature and dealt only 5 points of damage.

Banjo, Thurstan and his wolf could not reach the action and were forced to wait in hopes of getting a chance to attack.

Blunderbuss power attacks with his great axe but misses the nimble ratman. Jean moves to the open corner and attacks with a hand axe. The ranger missed his target.

The monster attacked Clint but missed the rogue with both its rapier and its bite.

Clint moved out of harm's way an allowed Torvald to step forward to attack the wererat. The paladin power attacked with his longsword scoring a critical hit. The damage was reduced by the toughness of the creature but still dealt a solid 16 points of damage.

Seeing that Clint was greatly injured, Thurstan took a 5-foot step and cast Cure Moderate Wounds, healing the rogue by 17.

Ask them and they will come

The call has been answered and we now have three new players. Please welcome Daren, Christian and Matt Falk to the game.

Daren plans to play Torvald. Christian has already sent me his character, Barbarian/Druid. Matt Falk has expressed an interest in a straight Fighter.

We will finish up the current encounter and I will work out the old characters and work in the new characters. I expect that will be just after Thanksgiving.

As Clint moves into the room, a tall, ratlike humanoid dresed in black leather studded with dark iron leaps from the shadows, a black cloak and long hair trailing behind. Its rapier and prominent fangs flash as it rushes in.

The monster's rapier and fangs strike the startled rouge for 9 and 9, dealing a total of 18 damage to the elf.

Now There Are Three

I have been informed that Randy will be resigning from the game. That leaves us with three active players.

Matt has volunteeered to play one of the orphans.

The other option is to recruit additional players. Some folks that come to mind are Christian, Jon, David, Daren, Steve, Matt Falk and Mark Pittman.

I will leave it for you guys to work out. Just let me know what you decide.

Randy Bows Out

Randy told me on the way to gaming last week that he couldnt keep up with posting and that I could take Torvald.

I dont mind taking Torvald but I wouldnt mind giving Blunderbuss up (back to Corey or maybe to Steve?) either.

Jean opens the door and descends two sets of stairs following the tracks.

You enter a small, clean chamber that has only two distinct features. A statue depicting an old man in robes holding an open book stands in the southeastern corner, just beyond a flat stone door in the south wall.

Victim of Lingering Plague and Household Repairs

I have been sick for the better part of a week and I had a ton of things to do around the house this weekend.

Needless to say, I did not get to post. I will be posting the next turn tonight before I go to bed.

Shall Dave & I finish this thing by ourselves?

Please post today - Need clarification

I would like to process a turn tonight. If you have not already posted please do so by 10:00 PM tonight.

I also need a group decision. I have conflicting direction. There is a door to the noth and one to the southwest. Jean is planning to open one and Blunderbuss the other. Is that really the plan?
