Malvoisin's Curse of the Crimson Throne (OOC)

[Malvoisin]

Modified grapple instead of bull rush to push the giggler off the stairs? I'm fine with however you want to rule or resolve the action of course . I'm assuming we're not still grappling because he took a swipe with his flail and therefore I can return the favor with my rapier.

I considered bull rush, but it seemed that would be more appropriate for a straight pushback. So, I went with a grapple mechanic. It was an on-the-fly ruling, so I might do it differently in the future, with further thought.

In any case, no grappling now, you're right. So, swing away, Merrill. Err, maybe thrust away is more appropriate?

Then again, maybe not...

Rhun, in taking a closer look at Gadeann's sheet, I have a few comments...

1. Isn't Decipher Script a cross-class skill for Duskblades?

It shows on their list of class skills, page 21 of PHBII.

2. Could you please include Armor Check Penalties in the relevant skill totals?

Done

3. Shouldn't Gadeann start play knowing only 2 0-level and 2 1st-level spells?

2 0-level and 2 1st-level, plus 1 0-level per point of intelligence bonus (page 19, first paragraph of Spells Known)

4. Can you include a line for # of spells per day per level? 3 daily of 0- and 1st-level each, if I'm not mistaken (including bonus for high INT).

Done

5. The cynic in me wonders why the dogslicer is medium sized if it was nicked off a goblin (size small)...he must have wielded it 2-handed. It's fine, just something I noticed.

It could have been a longsword or something else, I just thought the dogslicer taken as trophy from a slain goblin was cool.

6. There's still a line in there for pending bonus regional feat, but we aren't doing that now, so you might want to remove it.

Done

<grin> I wasn't necessarily expecting anyone to listen to Edlin's idea of shoving the half-orc into the vat, but it would have been very cinematic had it come off!

And it might be time to retire Edlin..... I mean he only had two offensive spells prepared (one of those a cantrip), and they both worked! Don't they say that you should go out on top?

You got to know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
Know when to run

Rhun, thanks for the minor fixes to Gadeann's char. sheet. It looks like our discrepancies came from the fact that I was using the class summary from Crystal Keep, rather than the actual PHB2 (which is boxed up somewhere). CK's data is a little less than perfect, apparently. Anyhow, that should do it for now.

No problem...thanks for being patient with me.

I almost regret that Karastro's Diplomacy check was so successful, it would have been fun to hear Coldan intimidate those kids!

I'm sure we'll get to hear a lot of Coldan's "hell-talk" over the course of the adventure.

stonegod, see the very last sentence of the latest IC post...which was a last minute addition, and thus may have been missed. There are actually ropes available in the room.

Of course, Coldan could still batter them unconscious, if preferred.

We're all going there, you know. Coldan's sure of it.

Plan is to tie them up first, only whack them senseless if we have to. Someone with a good Use Rope (or Dex) should do it.
