Upcoming Adventure Review

sunshadow21 · Jan 8, 2012

Ausk is going to be out a while so I can stew over the changes I want to make. I do have 2 level 2 characters I could bump up to at least level 3 if not level 4(I5 DMCs can do a lot) if needed, a wizard and a cleric.

I am looking at running "From Shore to Sea", but it is designed for level 6, so it may sit on the back burner for a bit. It has a good island flair that should be easy to integrate.

What games do we have avaible for 4-6's?

Kostry Kopec - jkason
Daggers at Midnight - PM
Escort Service (One shot IIRC) - Systole

Conversely, which characters are soon to be free:

Daggers At Midnight 4 - Ausk the Crusher, Garet, Maia, Pari
Bloodcove Disguise 3 - Kalinn, Aradra , Syldar
Crypt of Everflame (Assumption) 4 - Kalgor, Tyrien, Anaerion, Iosef

I think Systole was going to continue something else after the 1 encounter for Cythera since Kalinn cannot go on jkasen's adventure and she is already 6th level and could be 7th. Mowgli mentioned DMC to bump up Kalinn to catch up some. When there was no other option, I was considering Cythera for jkasen's adventure, but I think she is a bit over-powered by being almost 2 over the APL.

Daggers at Midnight is being stripped down to 3 continuing and is recruiting again to pick up 1-2 more before heading into a boss fight. But, I was counting Veniarus to step in and I was going to throw Ariel (NPC'd for some much needed healing support) so they can get rolling ASAP. I had no intention of waiting around for Bloodcove to wrap for that one. However, this game is taking place in Venza and has two plot lines right now and can pull in or drop characters in between encounters as I keep it going.

It sounds like a combination of characters from Bloodcove and Crypt would be right for jkasen's adventure once that wraps up. For example: Tyrien, Anaerion, Iosef, Kalgar and Syldar?

With some DMC, Aradra could be leveled to be on par with Kalinn and Cythera for something further that Systole might come up with?

That would only leave SS21's character around without a place if he doesn't return to Daggers at Midnight or jkasen doesn't take 6.

Down the road, the core characters from Dagger's at Midnight could be 6th level and could go to SK's adventure he is planning.

So for timing, I think Bloodcove Disguise should probably wrap up in style with 1-2 more encounters.

If most of the interested characters are level 4, the 6 characters actually works fine for the APL. If they're all 5, I think it throws off the numbers. Of course, Mowgli and I both think there are several pretty tough encounters, so it might be fine.

Oh ya, I have DMC now...

I did originally want Aradra to go on jkason's adventure, only because it fits him perfectly background wise. Ex Rohnish military, and a strong hatred for Heth, and an infiltator as well, it made sense to me for him to go. Granted, by my rough calculations Aradra is already 5th level, and might end up 6th by the end of Bloodcove. And if there are any undead/evil outsiders, Aradra has a strong advantage over them.

That being said, I do like your proposed characters for jkason's adventure. The addition of Anaerion would allow more spell casting for the group (like haste!)

Ah, I had not thought Crypt was almost done either. But I think you are right, there cannot be much left but a few encounters and some role-playing. That means I could have Tyrien eligible for jkasen's adventure along with SK's summoner. That one could get off the ground then.

[MENTION=29558]Mowgli[/MENTION], I think we need an opinion or some information from you.

I'm happy to wrap Crypt if that's what the players want - there are a few encounters left, but they're just "clean up." Easy enough to handwave if we want to get the characters back to the Dunn Wright and into other adventures. I'm also happy to run those encounters if you all want to play them through.

Why don't you guys ([MENTION=95784]jackslate45[/MENTION], [MENTION=6666968]Satin Knights[/MENTION], [MENTION=88649]perrinmiller[/MENTION] and [MENTION=91452]rb780nm[/MENTION]) PM me and let me know.

I can run the solo adventure or a group adventure. The group adventure is roughed out, but I'd need an APL before I finish the writeup. Minimum APL would be 4 or 5. Working title is "Love Thy Neighbor."

I like the idea of Aradra joining Cythera too.

Maidhc O Casain · Jan 14, 2012

OK, after hearing from the players it looks like I'll be wrapping Crypt once this battle is done. There will be a little role play as the crew make their way back to town and settle accounts with the townsfolk, but I don't anticipate we'll be playing much past next week if we move it on along.

perrinmiller · Jan 14, 2012

Okay, then I will start wrapping up Bloodcove Disguise too then.

Cythera is back in the DWI waiting for Aradra and Kalinn. Systole's proposed mini-adventure is still waiting approval, IIRC. But, at this point, perhaps he should go ahead and get it ready for three characters.

Beforehand, it might be helpful if he knows what levels we will be if we are going to use DMCs. I was thinking to bump up Cythera to 7th, but only if Kalinn and Aradra are bumped up to at least 6th so she is within 1 level of them.
