Old-school dungeon crawl using 5e playtest rules

Might be. Maybe that's how the clue drops?

Is communication in centipede form not viable? I finally thought I'd made a breakthrough, something that would work.

Well I wasn't sure whether humans turned into centipedes know how to "speak centipedish", but let's go with it

I'd say the talking centipede idea definitely has legs...

 

[tuxgeo]

That idea does have legs.

That joke is almost worse than my one about "Centipede Imposition."

Maybe we have to read the curse backward in order to break it?

"Scavengers for leisure
here be your treasure
as vermins are all thieves
a vermin you shall be!"

becomes:

Eb llahs uoy nimrev a
Seveiht lla era snimrev sa
Erusaert ruoy eb ereh
Erusiel rof sregnevacs!

I would be a bit disappointed if that were the solution, though. It lacks elegance.

For what it's worth, I'm hoping only to speak to transformed humans, who still have their minds and are looking for ways to communicate; not to those who are by nature centipedes.

I think you've already killed all the aggressive "true" giant centipedes.

BTW sorry that I have been even slower with progress in the last few weeks. I have RL reasons, but I admit that also I felt stuck between the difficulty in solving this curse scenario and the lack of participation from the new player, whose character would have been able to help you since the start.

Hello players Since I'm getting no reply from Swift's player, [MENTION=48762]Leif[/MENTION] will take over the PC, at least for the time being.

OOC: Greetings, all! This is not quite like the PbP format that I am used to, so please bear with me while I figure out where all the threads of the game are located. Just now, I can't seem to find any of them, but hopefully that will be remedied once I have subscribed to this thread. Ok. I've subscribed to the group now, so that helps. But I still can't find an entry for Swift in the RG, so I'm not sure what his modifier is to an initiative roll. I'll just make a nude d20 roll, and the DM can apply any modifiers that are correct. I hope that's ok?

initiative (1d20=6)

PC's can be found here.

Sorry I am not very organized We have a "Rogue Gallery" in the campaign group page: http://www.enworld.org/forum/group.php?groupid=386 It's a "discussion" page because for some reason I am not able to create Wiki Pages or anything else there, despite being the creator of the group... The idea is that players can update their PCs directly over there, for example when levelling up, or when we switched from playtest rules to released 5e rules.

The character Swift was originally posted here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/showth...rules/page21&p=6343088&viewfull=1#post6343088 You can add it yourself to our "Rogue Gallery".

My idea is that for the moment you can play Swift who has already been introduced into the group, and if WarrenLaFrance comes back to play we can discuss together what to do.

By the way, everyone please know that I have an exceptional amount of RL duties until the 26th of November, so don't be discouraged by the fact that I have been posting so slowly... the game keeps going as long as the players keep playing!
