So is the consensus to keep the head as a souvenir and sell the gem and dump Lu Su in the street?
If I can do it, you could do it too Scott! However, it is nice to have someone read along In all the games I have played in, people have read but never reallyc ommented before. It's fun.
As for me, I would say keep the gem - Lola has no problem retrieving it and she will take it to her contact to sell and then we can divvy up the money and have a night of crazy celebration! I would also keep the head for now and probably try to give it a burial rather than dump it in the ocean or in an ally somewhere. Finally and before any of that, take Lu Shu with us and don't do anything else until he comes to, where we can question him. And tell him he is now set free but hopefully in exchange for never mentioning that we were involved at Tretchner's place.
DT, you could give a brief explanation of how HP's work here? I noticed that Lola went to -1 but she was still standing so I just want to double check how that works. Thanks!
In D&D, the rule was that if you hit 0 or negative hit points you were considered dead. Some optional rules also came out, which I partially adopted. I've always played OD&D in a similar manner of how the somewhat new C&C is run now, and I've been playing for nearly 25 years.
If you hit 0 or negative hit points I roll a d20 and check it against your constitution, with the negatives being a penalty against the roll. If the constitution check is made, then the character is conscious and the bleeding has stopped but the character shouldn't exert themselves (such as running, leaping, attacks, etc). If the check is not made than the character is bleeding and losing a hit point per round until they reach negative their max hit points or constitution score (whichever is higher). In which case they are dead. If they score a 20, they are instantly dead. If they score a 1, they can attack and cast spells.
I wag rules on occasion, so the above are the basics of how I handle the situation. When I checked Lola's constitution check when she went to -1, the result was a critical success... a 1. So I ruled she could attack and was otherwise conscious. If she tried to exert herself in a run I may have decided to make another check for consciousness.

Not enough cranal matter to understand another game system. I used the excuse of can't do another character, but somehow another characteh appeared in my signature. Can't figure out where that one came from.
A little more trutheful answer:
I am a coward. I was intimidated by the peeps playing and felt i could not maintain such a high quality of postin. I chickened out

all i am trying to say is that the quality of the posting by all of you is far better then what i can so my self. I get enough ridicule in real life for my dumb arse comments and i would find it beyond tiresome if i were to have to 'hear' it on these threads. I feel that this group is a fairly 'serious' gaming group ... as far as serious can be with a fantasy role plaing game that is.

[whisper]it was a complement, queeny [/whisper]
**-[/SIGH]-**
*hug* Thanks for the compliment!
I was only asking because except for Fenris, I haven't played with anyone else here either so thought maybe you knew something I didn't. Which I guess you do! Maybe I should be nervous now
For the record, I am sure you would be a fine player and if DT ever looks for more players, you should give it a go. I don't consider myself a good writer but the only way to get better is to practice!
I'd like to take a survey on the first chapter. What did you like or not like about it? What do you want out of this campaign? What would you like to see?

Whoops, I posted my question in the wrong thread. I'm not sure how to delete here either...
Quote:
You have listed on our character sheets 1000 gp each - is that correct? I thought we got 1000 total, 250/each. Just want to check before I start spending the loot
Also... is there anything that a thief *should* have? Since things work a little differently here I want to make sure I don't miss anything.

I liked it a lot. I really enjoy your posting style. The only thing I would want more of is posting! ;-)
Let's see - want out of campaign. I personally like a lot of roleplaying, not just between the NPCs but with the PC's too. But it's worked really well so far I think. I like the gritty feel of it, when the battle started I was like, "Uh, I have no weapon! Well, except a letter opener!" Which made me laugh and have to rely more on wits. It was fun. And even got my husband asking what was happening with it because I was laughing and ohhhing and ahhing so much he was wondering what I was doing.
I don't know yet if the story has an arc or is just one little adventure within a lot of smaller adventures but either way I am cool with it.
Um, I guess I'm not too helpful in the end, lol. I am really enjoying it is the bottom line.
That's actually 1000gp each. Original DnD had a lot of treasure and a large number of experience points. So the challenge for you guys is to spend it quickly before the next adventure, which will start by late Monday or early Tuesday if I do not receive additional posts. Remember, 1gp spent = 1xp. There is no way you can spend that much money on anything except stuff that is trivial. So equip your characters, think of trivial things your characters would all blow it on, and let me know.
And don't worry about the post. The only thing you could really do it edit it and delete the previous message and leave a note saying to ignore the post.
