I am on vacation through August 13. From the 4-10 in particular I will likely not have any wifi access at all. I may be able to check in on either side of that, but it won’t be a priority for me. I’m fine with someone running Surina in my absence.

Surina raised a brow ridge at Everett’s response. “Even if these lizard folk are allied with the others, the cart trail is behind us now. Shouldn’t we follow where the wagon went? Isn’t our first priority freeing the prisoners?”

Do the wagon tracks we were following also head in this direction? If so, Surina will agree. But she is puzzled by the armor on these lizard folk when they haven’t seen armor on the others they’ve encountered. “These lizardfolk have armor on. Those we encountered did not. Is it possible there...

Surina stays back, knowing her armor will rattle, but she keeps all her senses focused on the lizardfolk in front of her. Perception at Disadvantage due to distance: 2D20.LOW(1) = [16, 18] = 16

Surina blinks at Drake's harsh response. Obviously there is a story there. She considers mentioning that Drake just made her point for her, but decides not to. He's obviously in no mood for logic. She nods at Perrin's suggestion. Knowing her armor to be hard to keep silent she hangs back...

Surina looks at Brother Pelegon when he asks the question. Like Drake, she burned with rage at what the lizardfolk had done in town and at the camp. But Brother Pelegon was right. "I agree with Brother Pelegon," she said. "We can't be certain that these lizardfolk are in league with the ones...

I’ve been running TOA for some time now as a “drop-in” game at my local library. While new characters/players are always welcome, I have a group of regulars, except that they aren’t all always able to be there on a given week; so the party composition varies. We have generally dealt with this...

There aren’t exactly “rules” for sidekicks in the Essentials kit. There are stat blocks, with tables/info about how to “level up” the statblocks. But as far as I can tell, there aren’t sidekick creation rules at all in the Essentials kit.

Still here; will be away first part of August, but I’ll let you know before I leave.

Surina keeps pace with Swithun, and chats with him quietly during the day, asking about his weapons training, his people, and if they make wine or other fermented drinks. If they do, she will ask about them out of (former) professional curiosity. She is trying to distract herself from the...

Lots of good suggestions here. A few more ideas/tips: -for newbies, consider color-coding the character sheets. For a recent introductory game at our local high school, I got highlighters and ran a yellow line down the skills box, highlighted the AC in purple, etc. Then when I asked for info...

If the Black Road is played in sequence as part of AL Season 5, and the characters involved have played the previous adventures, they are starting out at the ending point. They have been helping out in a small town (whose name escapes me at the moment) and now are tasked with accompanying an...

Surina will walk beside Swithun if there’s space, otherwise right behind.

You have identified the big, gaping plot hole in The Black Road—one I have rarely seen mentioned when the Black Road is discussed. The desert is dangerous to cross, the trip from the oasis to the goal point is supposed to introduce them to the challenges of traveling in the desert, and yet...

Surina nods, "As much as I hate to leave the farm and townsfolk in their hands one minute longer, I think we all need the rest to take on this Ariamhodary and his forces." Surina will gladly take a turn a watch, she's not picky about when.

I have a player with a blind earth genasi fighter character. We gave her blindsight to 10’ and tremorsense to 100. The way we handle ranged attacks for her is that her AC is reduced by 2 for ranged attacks. The logic is that she knows the arrow is fired (tremorsense) but she has no sense of...

I was debating what Surina would do—an leaning toward approving out of anger, when the others intervened. Also FYI: I am at a work conference through Tuesday (yes, we meet over the weekend, too). The hours are long and it will be emotionally exhausting, so I may not be able to post again...

Surina had been all ready to let Everett do as he pleased—for all that his demeanor surprised him—when Brother Pelegon and Perin intervened. Perin’s words especially cut her to the quick; she had been ready to let passion take over and to condone actions she had just condemned in the...

Sorry; busy few days; and I didn’t want to hog the limelight. I’ve posted Surina’s response

Surina suppressed the sudden surge of anger and asked, “If I were interested in such a offer, where would I find this Lord Ariamhodary? And what does he want with the pinks?”
