With the doors open, why of course sir.
And well spotted the Elf- my what sharp eyes you have...

A little note about XP-
I'd like to cap your XP in this adventure 2250, which is as much as it takes to get to Level 3, my reasons-
1) The next scenario is for Level 3 characters, so... it's easier for me not having to level up all of the encounters. Not that I'm lazy I just envisage there are going to come times when I will have plenty going on.
2) I've played the first five or six of these scenarios previously, the problem is the PCs get half a level ahead in the first scenario, another half in the second, etc. and before you know it the Paragon Level adventure is the one before it should be in the sequence, and it's just doesn't work in the same way.
3) I don't think it's going to be a massive problem, there are other rewards than XP to be had of course, and as I say you're not going to hit 2250 until very near the end (I think).
4) The scenarios specifically state at what level the PCs need to be to play, and yes I know all of them do this but these are pretty specific. So for instance the next one states the PCs shoudl start at Level 3 and finish midway to Level 5 (4625 XP).
5) Of course if you fall short of the required XP then I'll throw in a short mini-adventure (plot-related) or whatever it takes.
Any comments, thoughts etc.
Cheers Goonalan

Hooray! Err... I mean... I knew that would happen... it was allll part of the plan... yeah that's the ticket.
I love Freggo by the way, he so much wants to be the hero... and he is of course, he's very Luke Skywalker- that I can do it attitude combined with a bit of pig-headed stubborness- all good by the way.
Nicely played.

Damn you statistics!!
Thanks for the complement Goonalan. I enjoy creating protagonists inspired by characters in fiction, but they've gotta have flaws and challenges or there's no journey.
I might suggest cutting out some of the less exciting encounters so we can get to the interesting parts more quickly. That way the total XP is lowered without having to slow progression, which already tends to be slow in play-by-post.
So far everything's been very exciting and non-fillery by the way, so more of that please!
Guys can I just applaud the last few moves. It's a bloody pleasure working with you. (pun not intended)
I'm going to try to keep that combo in mind for future battles - Velani uses the defender's aura, and Freggo saunters by with increased AC, trying to provoke an OA.
