    The Wayfinders - The Wreck of the Archon

    Kraken crouches down under cover again. "Reckon you're right," he says. "It's like that little fella with the broom - only does what it's told. If there were living enemies up there I'd be a pair of smoking boots, eh?" He picks up a piece of broken masonry that fits nicely within his hand. "So...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Lichway - IC Thread

    The walls either side of the "fire portal" have old cressets for torches, but they are rusted and empty. As Ren points out, the only light is the natural light coming from the mouth of the water cavern.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Lichway - IC Thread

    Zanword studies the river under the bridge as he approaches the ancient wharves, but the bridge looks too low for his vessel, and not far beyond that the tunnel gets too low as well. The bottom few steps of the wharves are covered in slimy weed and small shellfish, hinting at the tidal nature...

    OOC Thread Rogues Gallery The steep-sided walls of the Korm Basin slide by; Blackpearl's skiff has travelled the many miles from the opening to the sea, past rocky cliffs and scree of dark stone, the only sign of life some scrubby plants clinging to the side and birds wheeling overhead. Now...

    Maybe we can assume that the Church of Istus characters (Nissa, Ethian and Ren) have hired/recruited the others to fill skill gaps and/or make up numbers. Blackpearl is obvious, they need him to physically get there, Javier extra muscle, Rurik the same perhaps. Looking at the two of them, maybe...

    Steve, will do. To the best I can remember, I don't think I've ever gamed with Tailspinner on these boards, although I've seen him/her in quite a few games. So apart from you both beginning with "T" I've no idea where that came from! Apologies all round.

    Okay, so I've got characters in the Rogues Gallery from Neurotic and toasterferret, with some details to be added to Neurotic's paladin. Brother Dave and Steve Gorak, I have completed characters for you, can you add them to the RG as well please. sithramir, waiting for a completed...

    The Wayfinders - The Wreck of the Archon

    "Not me mate," says Kraken. "Course, if it's an automatic system, we don't need to hide, eh? You lot stay out of sight for now, let me do something really bloody stupid." He moves a little way away from the group and then stands up out of hiding. If any intelligent agency is watching, it will...

    I *think* that only the variant humans get a feat at first level - I'd need to go back and check that. Some of the feats, though, would make sense if allowed at 1st level generally. Good question...

    Dr. Si's Curse of the Crimson Throne - Escape From Old Korvosa

    "Just so," says Vencarlo. "So do we risk this corridor, which is almost certainly a trap, or do we wait and pull the lever again to see what the next entertainment Glorio Arknoa has lined up for us?"

    Master of Jade, Mistress of Iron - a World of Conclave adventure

    Hang hits but doesn't extinguish the spirit entirely. Mal and Blue both miss, and the lightning spirit detroys another stay. That is enough for the sail to fall loose and catch in the wind, ripping it further from its bindings. The Shadow Lark heels alarmingly, and the lightning spirits spiral...

    Neurotic, yes, there are monks. Actually, that might work quite well as a kind of ferryman for the Lichway. And if you went Way of the Four Elements tradition (although that's 3rd level onwards) you get spell-like powers. Axel, no worries. MortalPlague - I think we can fit you in, particularly...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] The Lichway - Old School Dungeon with new school rules.

    Sithramir, seems fine to me. Neurotic - when you ask how many feats are available, do you mean how many are there in the book or how many can a character get throughout their career? I'm guessing the second from context. In 5e you can get a feat instead of increasing ability scores, each time...

    D&D 5E (2014) [5e] The Lichway - Old School Dungeon with new school rules.

    sithramir, I'm sure we can find room - any class/race is fine. 5e has taken a step back from the 4e style roles that Neurotic mentions (or, at least has moved them from explicit to implicit); also although this is an old school dungeon it's a well designed one so there's room for RP and...

    The Wayfinders - The Wreck of the Archon

    "Maybe we can move around it and destroy it from behind then, eh?" says Kraken. "Failing that, how many shots do you think it'll get off if I run straight at it?"

    I agree, I think a non-spellcaster is going to be easiest if you don't have the PHB, Neurotic.

    Master of Jade, Mistress of Iron - a World of Conclave adventure

    Hang and Blue both strike true, and their respective lightning spirits fizzle and vanish in a puff of tiny electrical arcs. The creature in the rigging shakes its fist, but continues in its destructive task. Another stay burns through, and the sail begins to unfurl and flap in the wind. "Get it...
