[LPF] Darkness Rising

Agno moves forward to try to catch sight of this 'Stalker' creature since he's never seen one before but also draws and readies an arrow in his bow.

"Hurrr! A Stalker?!" he says, unconsciously mimicking Tyrien. "I do not take kindly to being, hurrr... stalked!"

[sblock=OOC]I haven't posted any actions because I am surprised and don't know what is going on. But if we need something from Tonris to move us along I would gladly post a speech action as speech is a free action. That said, why haven't we had an update from the DM? Everyone but Tonris, Rex, and the Father have acted as near as I can tell.[/sblock]

[sblock=Judge takeover needed?]Well, it looks like HolyMan hasn't logged in for a week now. And he hasn't touched this thread in three weeks. The good news is that I kept my notes from rewriting and approving the adventure, so I can take it over if necessary. I figure to give HM another couple days to get past possible holiday issues. If he hasn't returned by Thursday, I will jump in. That will give me a little time to read what you have done so far.

OOC: It has now been a week and 2 days since the designated Judge Takeover date. Is this happening or not?

[sblock=Moving on]Agreed. At the time, I was suggesting to wait more than 2-3 days to let one more weekend go by as HM hardly ever posted weekends. But, I was ready to move on without him on the 7th.
But without notifications and slow site load times, I have not been checking here as often. [/sblock]

as of June 11th, 2013; DOY=528 (366+162)

[sblock=GM Takeover Point]Okay, I will try to get this adventure back on track now. I have about another 6 pages to read, so it should be about another hour or two. [/sblock]
[sblock=Meta Notes]Accumulated Treasure:
8,310 ~ +1 Mimetic shortsword ~ Larissa, cleaned blade
8,310 ~ +1 mystery shortsword
2,500 ~ Cloak of Elvenkind ~ Larissa
2,500 ~ Cloak of Elvenkind ~ Tyrien, stored, not worn until sneaky time comes.
????? ~ pouch of black poisonous paste
8,310 ~ +1 another mystery shortsword
5,500 ~ boots of striding and springing ~ Larissa
,,,310 ~ masterwork shortsword
...310 ~ masterwork shortsword
plus final rewards handed to them at the end before being shown the door.

Larissa's loot
8,310 ~ +1 Mimetic shortsword ~ Larissa, cleaned blade
2,500 ~ Cloak of Elvenkind ~ Larissa
5,500 ~ boots of striding and springing ~ Larissa
====
16,310
..2,350 ~ Greatsword +1 (reward at the end)
====
18,660 Treasure + 117 gold pieces

Tyrien's loot
..2,500 ~ Cloak of Elvenkind ~ Tyrien
10,302 ~ Dagger of Doubling ~ Tyrien (reward at the end)
..8,310 ~ +1 another mystery shortsword (+1 Planar)
.....310 ~ Masterwork short sword
?????? ~ pouches of black poisonous paste (turns into the gold)
====
21,422 + 1,173 gold pieces

Dissapearing with Tonris
8,310 ~ +1 mystery shortsword
...310 ~ Masterwork short sword
2,250 ~ cost of Daylight Wand (mostly used up, on body of Relios and lost)
2,100 ~ cost Neutralize Posion wand (on body of Relios and lost)

Agno's loot
18,301 ~ +1 Viscious Spell Storing staff (reward at the end)
=====
18,301 and owes 149 gold pieces to Tyrien


1x Wand of Daylight with 10 charges = 2250 gp, 5 charges used
1x Wand of Neutralize Poison with 5 charges = 2100 gp

Total Cost 4350 gp, taken out of Tonris' piggy bank on the assumption that the adventure will yield enough treasure to cover the cost of this purchase at the end of the adventure, and that any charges not used can be summarily sold back to the pearl at the same value that Tonris paid for the wands. Wands will be tracked on Tonris' character sheet.

That was the plan. Then he threw a tizzy and quit. So, the costs of the wands comes out of his treasure because it is convenient.

The old codger steps forward menacingly while pulling his mace, readying to exact his revenge in the old fashioned way.

The stalker, having lost his element of surprise against a group, mutters a few words in a foul language, and all the light the stars and moon were giving you has disappeared. Tyrien's floating stone of light has gone out, just like it had before. But, the creature she saw before that was much taller this time. The darkness you feared washes over the area in an eerie blackness that seems to soak into your very eyes. Footsteps can be heard crunching through the undergrowth towards the center of the group.

Even the darkness cannot hide the grumpiness of an old man. "Well, hurry up and do your thing already. You insisted! Now do it!"

[sblock=Combat]
Corrections: That was the surprise round, so move or std.
That backs up Larissa to F7
Agno moved but didn't fire. (reversing to a 5' step and firing would have missed anyways)
Relios: 5' step to E3, draws weapon
ends surprise round

??/?? AC ?? Stalker: Casts Deeper Darkness, (60' radius covers whole map) and moves

The group is up! Going on group initiative, as it is far faster that waiting for individuals going in sequence.
Movement greater than 1/2 speed requires a DC 10 Acrobatics roll.

5?/5? AC 16 Relios
36/36 AC 18 Agno
18/18 AC 17 Keeling (airborne)
53/53 AC 21 Larissa
42/42 AC 13 Tonris
21/21 AC 18 Rex
56/56 AC 23 Tyrien
[/sblock][sblock=map] The whole map is dark.

[sblock=OOC]I don't know if I explicitly mentioned it, but Tonris would have passed the wand of light off to one of the two clerics since he doesn't actually have that spell on his spell list.[/sblock]

[sblock=ooc]Well, um... No. Tonris showed the others the wand purchases and how to activate them in an emergency, but then didn't hand off the wand of Daylight on page 9. It is still in his mini-stats as of page 13, so it is still in his haversack. You didn't have it in hand while searching for a place to camp for the night, so Tonris will need to retrieve it from the haversack first. At least you are using a Handy Haversack. Otherwise, I would be having you roll percentages as to which wand you grabbed in the dark.[/sblock]
