I'm not quite sure how to do it, and in a face to face game, it could be done with a quick back-and-forth, but I think it shows here that the main areas to improve the encounter (and any like it) with have to be a matter of clarity to timing - both in checks (and the number of them) and in...

Strange. How I remember it is that Caer dropped the halfling armor and I picked it up and threw it in my sack. Am I misremembering and it was that I grabbed armor upgrades for Deirdre? I'm sure that there were two suits of armor in the bag.

Stratus went through his sack, carefully taking out the glass lockbox and then the various pieces of armor. He helped Benny to don the halfling-sized suit, adjusting his straps for him before patting him on the back. He then worked to add his own armored accessories to his previous suit...

He cast Tongues as soon as you entered his hut. I hope that you haven't been using sign language since entering the hut, or he will have understood you. There's been the occasional opportunity to sign something quick while he's not looking (or whisper here and there) but only carefully.

It was a fun encounter. My only note is the small one regarding knowing what to roll for and what not to roll for (for example when both trying to pick a bauble and coax a kid while at the pendant table, but under the general constraint of "one check per minute round"). Otherwise, all good. It...

Team Caves The Kobold Chief was flattered by Shamal's presentation. Even with his spell that translated tongues, he didn't understand half of what Shamal was saying to him, and that made him feel very important. When Shamal presented him with a parchment, he smiled - a strange expression of his...

Team Infiltrate The mercenary hissed at Terrin, saying, "You shut it! Above half of them are madder than a crane-fly! The Beast will have your hide if you do anythin' that could make them turn on us. The money this job pays is tops, an' you'll see your share soon enough. You'll be able to play...

Team Lake Aywin sent Svetlana into the structure. The same pattern of runes that had glowed when he'd thrown in a rock, glowed once again, but this time, there was a snapping noise. Though Aywin was the only one who could see it, Svetlana had disappeared. He could sense that she was alive, and...

Wife's still asleep, so I got a single post up! See you all tomorrow evening.

Team Caves The Kobold chief went on a long, likely embellished rant about the glory days of serving Dretchroyaster in his prime as the Dragon laid waste to the area, vanquishing his enemies and cowing the 'civilized' folk. What was true of his story had been over a hundred years ago, and it was...

Yeah, who knows if the chickens think you're a zombie? They don't clucking care.

Stratus' reach was an astonishing eleven feet, and he found a spot where he could get a grip on the edge to dangle himself down before dropping the remaining nine feet. He landed on his feet and went to find a way to open the gate, wondering if it was winch-operated or a simple lift-bar. (Or if...

Just a heads up everyone! I will be gone Sunday to probably late Monday. It's my anniversary, and we're going on a road trip. Don't know where yet, don't care. I'll try to pop in on my phone, but who knows?

I will be gone Sunday. It's my anniversary, and we're going on a road trip. Don't know where yet, don't care. My wife doesn't drive, and I won't have a computer. I'll try to keep up on my phone, but who knows?

Not really, just been busy. Lots to keep up with! In the mean time, is there anything else you want to ask of the Chief?

Team Lake While Svetlana complained that Aywin only loved her for her expendable body, Guldred explained to Shade-9 that Muragh was a lizardfolk who was occupying a cavern nearby to the northwest. He had a dozen or so lizardfolk with him, two of which were his personal bodyguards. Guldred had...

Stratus handed Newt to the merchant, telling her, "Don't cry, honey. I'll get us through the gate! Just you wait and see." And he hauled himself up and over, with Havok and Caer giving him a boost. Stratus got a 13 persuasion to keep the girl from freaking out and a 21 athletics to climb.

Team Lake With his magic-detecting lenses in place, Shade-9 could see the conjuration magic that came from inside the strange structure. His sensors constantly detected residual traces of conjuration, evocation, and necromancy, as if the entire mountain was suffused with the stuff. With their...

Theoretically, you could have cast Detect Magic as a Ritual, but then, everyone would have spent longer in the first lake... IDK. Probably best to leave it as a Spell Slot so as not to have to think about how that might have changed things. But you've probably still got around 5 minutes left or so.

Yes, that long tradition of dancing paladins. Like the Knights of the Round Table - they dance when they are able.
