[LPF] Crypt of the Everflame (01)

[Maidhc O Casain]

And that'll do for the Hungry Beetle! The poor creature, simply trying to defend its larder, is slain before getting off an attack.

The only exits are the door you entered through and a stairwell leading to a lower level of the Crypt.

A quick look around the room reveals nothing of value to most of the group, but Kalgor's sharp eye spots the corner of a book binding poking out of the refuse making the beetle's nest. He moves quickly to retrieve it, and recognizes it as a mages spellbook. Leafing idly through the pages, he finds . . .

GM: We'll now pause for a short 'leveling-up' intermission. First level characters are now at 1352 XP, and thus eligible for 2nd level. Spellbook is for Kalgor's intended level up, and not part of the adventure's treasure.

"Finally! One written in celestial!" ... "So that is how that works." ... "vessel for bonding" ... "complicated moves ... armor interferes" ... as he mumbles and ignores everything else around him. Finally, "Hey guys, I need to take a bit of time to study this whole book. Gragnor, I need to borrow your trinket for a couple months. I can use it to enhance my power." "But, but, but... oh all rright."

[sblock=memorizing spells]DC 20 to decipher cantrips, 21 for first level spells. DC 15 to memorize cantrips, 16 for first level spells. If I hadn't blown the Read Magic, the deciphers would have been automatic. Successes:
Prestidigitation, Dancing Lights and Color Spray. This book stuff is hard! (technically, it is a borrowed book until I copy the spells into it myself. No ink in the dungeon.)[/sblock]

Anaerion takes a quick look at the book as well, to see if there is anything to learn from it.

Ravenath sees the magic book and can't resist to gets near and take a look.

-So, are you learning the spells? Or copying it? -he take a closer look- Interesting... Wait, do this spell really enlarge a person? How big? And... wait! With this spell you throw a ray of frost? What about your hand? Is it damaged by the spell too? -Ravenath seems enthusiastic with the spell book.

OOC: This isn't a metagame failure in my interpretation of Ravenath, don't worry.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: I've approved Kalgor and Anaerion for Level 2. Just need Ravenath's Level 2 submission and we'll be ready to roll!

 

[Ravenath]

OOC: Ops, sorry. I had my level 2 Ravenath ready in my last post, but I didn't told you anything. How can I make a "spoiler" text?

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

You'll type [ sblock ] at the beginning of your spoiler text, and [ /sblock ] at the end. If you want the spoiler caption to read something besides 'spoiler', you'll change the beginning to [ sblock=Something besides spoiler ].

Remove the spaces, of course.

To get your level up approved, though, you'll need to fill out the 'Level Up' section of your sheet on the Wiki, and make the changes to your main sheet as well.

I do not want to seem like I am picking on you, but If you speak with Voda Vosa, you can learn better english. I see some gramatical errors, but VV can help you a lot. He is from Argentina[/sblock]

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

OOC: OK, all level-ups are approved and we're ready to go. Options are down the stairs in the current room, back to the stuck door and the wailer, or back to the second door out of the Entry Hall. There's also a hallway headed West that you haven't explored.
