The Closed Eye, part II (DM: covaithe, Judge: garyh)

[Dunamin]

[sblock=Hm]Eh, I'm probably missing something but there's actually an issue holding me from approval:

I'm unsure about how Kathalia was made, sorry. Tander retired as level 3 and then chose option B to replace him, right? Wouldn't that make Kathalia's starting gold 1750 - 840 (level 4 item) = 910 gp? Very sorry to bring this up, nerdytenor, but that seems to be how the charter presents it (please correct me if I'm wrong!). [/sblock]

[sblock=Starting Gold]
I was lazy and I copied the starting gold from Hacker's sheet.

[covaithe]

[sblock=starting gold]Yeah, rereading the charter, it looks like not only did Hacker and Kathalia both get the starting gold wrong, but renau1g, TwoHeads, and I all got it wrong in the approval process, too. Based on what the charter says, they both should be starting with less gold. Sorry, guys; we dropped the ball on this one. Nice catch, Dunamin.

[Dunamin]

[sblock=Bummer]Now I feel bad about being "that guy".
If only my integrity were as low as Woe's, by now he'd be 3rd level and Hacker and Kathalia would be that much richer!

Let us know when you've updated the sheets, guys. [/sblock]

Grrrrrr...

How about the DM gives our characters a 'loan'?

 

[covaithe]

Grrrrrr...

How about the DM gives our characters a 'loan'?

ooc: Hmm... That could plausibly be argued to be within my DM powers. On the one hand, it feels like straying a bit into a gray area, but on the other hand, it's not really all that different from a (fairly big) up front treasure award. I'm not thrilled, but in the interests of moving things along, let's run with it. garyh can shoot it down if he thinks we're bending the rules too far.

Since Dunamin didn't have any other complaints, I'll go ahead and do an XP award, with the caveat that Kathalia only gets it once D gives her the stamp. And assuming garyh doesn't think we're all a bunch of cheaters and dis-approve it or something.

[sblock=XP]Skill challenge, complexity 3: 450*2 = 900 xp, or 225 each.

Woe can go to level 3.

[KenHood]

Thanks, C. That saves me from having to perform major edits on my character sheet.

 

[Dunamin]

[sblock=The Stamp (TM)]Glad that got worked out! Kathalia is fully approved now and Woe will be submitted very soon. [/sblock]

During the Rest

Atreus has been spending his time with the others in silence while trying to get some rest. Though he has tried many times to relax, Hackers songs continually filled his mind with disturbing images, as if the tones from his piano were some kind of dark magic trying to invade his mind, but not even Hackers unpleasant melodies could measure to his exhaustion and suddenly Atreus fell asleep.

In the morning

Atreus akwardly finds himself hugging his black dagger when he wakes up on the ground and is quickly up on his feet. Even though the tonight's sleep wasn't profitable as he hoped, he was now ready to move on. He fully knew whom was to blame for his bad nights sleep and he would not forget.

[sblock=OOC]
Are we ready to continue?

[Dunamin]

“Top of the morning and all that, fellas.”

Woe munches on the exquisite collection of custom-made rations that Fritz prepared for him before they left Doddoddod’s tower. It both looks and smells surprisingly delicious.

“The pancakes are a bit overdone, and the eggs could use some pepper, but the bacon’s crisp the way I like it.”

The merc offers to share with whoever may be interested and finishes his breakfast.

“So what do you folks say we get the blood pumping, by hunting us some spelunking bodysnatchers?”

While waiting for everyone to get ready, Woe carefully wipes away bits of rain-dew that has seeped inside the hole perforating his shield hand, using the remains of the glove he ripped off earlier. The alchemical support that keeps it functioning doesn’t rust, but he doesn’t like it being exposed like this.

“I gotta’ get myself a pair of gauntlets.”
