(OOC) The Dog Days of Doom

[Snarf Zagyg]

On a substantive note, quick huddle folks. Just saw Diedre's post ( @Lidgar )

Are we going to hold up, or am I going to post Caer thumping with his Blackstaff? In terms of RP, Caer is indifferent to either solution. Maybe a shade more likely to thump, 'cuz eff these guys and he's not the forgiving sort. But I don't want to create additional strife if we y'all want to try parlaying again.

 

[Lidgar]

How about we do non-lethal damage to the dwarf? Thump 'em into submission.

 

[Neurotic]

Tried that, missed

 

[TaranTheWanderer]

how does non lethal work? Same as 2014? As long as the final thump is a melee attack, you can choose to knock him out??

The light is lit so circumstances have changed, so it opens up the possibility of negotiations. That said, you guys already murdered one of them in the middle of a negotiation so it might not be easy.

OTOH, you outnumber them.

Is this the last one? I need to count how many we lighted

This is the 4th.

The cleric of Pelor may not know the actual number that need to be ignited (or the dm screwed up).

I was going to say something something unreliable narrator something something Pale Fire .... but I am way too lazy right now.

 

[Neurotic]

Snarf, dwarf has a reaction for +2 and you're the only one who hit

I'd expect (ed) more drama if this is the last one, we need to fo something more

These are the striking stones. Strike them near the sacred braziers and it will relight them. There are seven in all and each is keyed to a rune on the beacon. When all seven are lit, the beacon will light also.

I knew four seemed too low
Let's say it's a pentagram of Pelor

So, let me tell you how I messed up:

There are 7 statues and the adventure has you collecting broken seals on each statue which then have to get fixed by the cleric and once they're fixed, he can relight the beacon. The braziers were an optional thing.

In my DMing wisdom, I thought it would be more fun to have you guys light the fires instead...and it made more sense to me that the little fires would be connected to the big fire and it could happen instantly as soon as they were lit.

I also thought there were more beacons until now. But whatever! You're doing so well! Keep up the good work!
