    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Ferris, hearing yet another loud noise from within, What are they doing in there, moving furniture?!, steps out into the street with a mild stagger and shows his open hands to the guard. In a loud voice, trying to cover the noises from inside, Ferris says, "Don't mind my friends, they are merely...

    Why isn't WotC acknowledging Grind issue?

    To the OP: its seems obvious, from where I stand, you particular issue with grind in a 7-player game is outside of the scope of what easily can be done about grind. There just isn't much you can do with a tactically rich combat system like 4e when you exceed the recommended party size. You...

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Ferris, his senses tuned into the scene around hears a light thud from inside the building and hears a slight exclamation from the guard. Eyes wide he turns to Jezebel and Alnar and hisses, "The guard has heard noises from inside!" Gut roiling, Ferris contemplates acting drunk and staggering...

    Are you using battlemats or similar visual representations in your games?

    Paizo flip-mat (best bang for your buck hands down) and minis/assorted counters/pokerchips. Planning on getting some tiles when the Master sets come out. Oh yeah and plastic pop bottle rings, got a ton of those now.

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Ferris nervously listens for tell-tale noises that would alert the guard, hoping for all their sakes that the Tiefling and Alnar are good actors...

    Combat length

    In the game I run, I have 2 completely new to Roleplaying players, who seem to have trouble remembering what to do every turn!! <sigh> (well just one in particular). She has about 10 games under her belt, and still has problems picking out her d10 vs d8. She uses the same at-will over and...

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    "Well met Verloc, I am Ferris, till lately of Kythira... we have come up with the beginnings of a plan... and it seeming that we have the same goals, it would be wise to work together." Ferris explains all that they have discussed. I am cool with the plan. So Alnar, Jesebel and I will remain...

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    I think Bobode is a Changeling... and they can definitely shape-change...good idea... but have we met him/her yet? Would we know they are a Changeling? Would they be willing to expose themselves as Changelings? This and more on the next episode of "As The Party Turns"... :P

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Ferris only has Str to offer going inside. His Stealth is only +1, but he does have low-light vision. My Diplomacy is +4, so my best role might be to try and distract the guard IF needed. Ferris is getting uneasy. Stealth in the jungles of Kythira for a hunt is one thing, but in these...

    Players dissatisfied with level of danger in 4e

    My 2nd level party just had a character get to 2 Death Saves last night. And this was the first encounter of the day, so we had Dailies available. To the OP, your problem is that your game is missing out on the resource management aspect of the game. Your players have NO reason to hold back...

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Perception 18: Fail Ferris turns to the others and whispers in his low voice. "The elder is leaving out the front door, now may be our chance..." Welcome and salutations!

    Amethyst Foundation

    Just wanted to say I am looking forward to checking out Amethyst. I loved the Biohazard teaser and hope there will be lots more to like. I imagine the Warlock was omitted due to setting concerns.

    Edition wars...a GOOD thing? or if not, an APPROPRIATE thing?

    Simple solution to EW's on ENWorld. Like a previous poster said, create a thread called "Edition Wars/Debate", put on a disclaimer and let people go crazy with no moderation in that thread only. Put any threads that the Mods feel are Edition Wars in there and presto. I predict the thread...

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Ferris lopes off after Alnar to the edge of the corner, hoping to remain out of sight of the guards. Double move to L1

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Ferris notices the guard coming and warns the others... "I hope Garry comes back soon with some good news... we need to get things moving. If there is another entrance to this place, a side window or a back door, that is how I suggest we get in. Is anyone good with locks?" 1d20+4=15

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    I think we need to see what the old lady does. I am sure no one (except perhaps Jezebel) wants to hurt an old lady. If she leaves we can try to sneak in the back way, or even a window. Ferris wouldn't be keen on beating the guard senseless.

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Ferris growls quietly "I'm getting too old for this ..." 1d20+4=22 He keeps his attention on the darkened window he noticed and the guard, looking for any signs that they have been detected.

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    That marching makes sense and works for me. Ferris grumbles about the rain as he follows Jezebel, his senses however quest about into the mirk around them.

    [Adventure] Marna is Missing (DM: pacdidj, Judge: renau1g)

    Ferris arches an eyebrow at Alnar as he finishes his rant... Ahh, the impetuousness and overconfidence of Arcanists, always amusing... its nice to know some things don't change when one leaves Kythira. "I also agree haste is prudent, and our friend the barkeep has made a useful suggestion...
