Deuce Traveler's Six Nights to Yearsend (Ptolus one-shot)

[OnlytheStrong]

It's the captain that knows what is going on. AND they already said they were charging us. That's why I said to keep the Captain alive. I may have my monk KO him lol.

 

[wysiwyg]

I really don't know why we're having a 12 hour debate over a 6 sec round. Surely this should be left to individual PC instincts.
Kareus is making a run for it (even all the inter-game speeches made are irrellavant since they are made without the knowledge of the other PCs).

 

[Deuce Traveler]

Hmmm... I may have to create a third thread just for Morty and Kareus at this rate. Group A splitting up was unexpected, but seeing the unplanned unfold is part of the fun of DMing.

As per naming Group B, we consist of Two Humans (Male and Female), One Male Dwarf, and a "Lion", "Bear", and "Monkey", ergo I think our name should include Menagerie in some fashion. Or circus, since you routinely find all those in one. I would figure our sextet would be quite famous around Ptolus just for our diversity alone.

 

[Lorthanoth]

Menagerie doesn't sound all that heroic... but I agree it should reflect the diversity of the group... Maybe our enemies mockingly call us "The Circus" or "The Freak Show"?

How about...

The Company of the Three Rings? (relating to an earlier adventure... and our nickname is The Three Ring Circus)

The Misfits?

Morty's only readied an action so far, in case the group as a whole does try to get away. He'll surrender under Luna's word, I wasn't trying to start a big debate or anything.

EDIT: Deuce, can we alter the past a little to reflect this?

 

[Ilium]

Ilium, I was wondering if your character had a familiar? and if not, if Bobbaros could appear to be such while in public.

Kantris does have a familiar (an as-yet-unnamed weasel) but there's no reason you couldn't pretend to be my familiar as well. Anybody well-informed enough to realize wizards don't generally have two familiars will also realize a chimp is probably not a real familiar anyway.

 

[Ilium]

I like the "three ring circus" idea. I have a couple grand left in my starting fund. Maybe I'll invest in an actual ring of some kind that we acquired on that adventure... Hmm...

 

[Ilium]

Sorry to be triple-posting but I'm catching up from the week-end.

Deuce: I have read through the Ptolus players' guide but that's about all I know of the setting. I get the impression that Raise Dead and similar spells should be available to high-level adventurers like our victims. Is that a reasonable assumption? I realize they're all dead, but if they're so beloved (and probably rich) is it reasonable to ask why someone hasn't tried to raise/resurrect their Cleric?

 

[Lorthanoth]

That's a good idea! That would be fun. (the ring idea, not the raising people from the dead idea).

Maybe the ritualistic manner in which they were killed prevents resurrection?

Hmm.. must mention Verosh's tattoos at some point in the ic thread...
