stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

[stonegod]

Ashlyn has less violent ways to detect such things, but Janis' version does have panache.

 

[Stormwind]

Thanks for reminding me ... Given Ashlyn's suspicions, she might well check that Ireena isn't undead herself ... and her method is somewhat more diplomatic than Janis' ... it's hard to ask for help from someone who's been staked through the heart.

Give us a few levels...

"It may be bitter, but it is better than being bitten."

I'd just like to apologize in advance for that line. I figure if she's undead, she'll fly into a rage about now.

"If the Lord o' the Castle is the foul beast that we may think that he is, surely he would not show his true colors with his lady love in our midst -- while the idea of using her as a human shield leaves a sour taste in my mouth -- if he turns out to be a misunderstood carpet-bagging noble, then where would the harm be?""

Is that a vote for or against going to the Castle?

 

[James Heard]

I love Janis. She's like a ray of sunshine in every conversation, always chatting about puppies and rainbows.

Is that a vote for or against going to the Castle?

For.

I believe we have a day before we are meeting up with the Green Lady in the woods, so we might as well pay a visit to the Lord.

Green Lady will be at the Hill, not the woods. You folks want to go to the woods due to the sword fragment being there. There is some suspicion the Green Lady is also in the wood somewhere.

I'm just wanting a couple thousand more experience points. It would be nice if we could stop bleeding corpses every time we get into any fight too, before we start plotting on attacking the bad guy who earned the cover art. I keep feeling like we've been just shy of being a miserable failure in combat since we've started. I can't shake the idea that rushing to the castle would just hasten the recruiting for "Stonegod's Return to the Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: 'You are not Buffy' pt2."

Personally, if we turned up a kobold nest or three....sickly, weak kobolds maybe...I think we'd be back on track. Or maybe we should try killing all of the house cats in town? Someone would likely die, but I think we'd eventually pull together and gets some really soft boots out of it.

I'm thinking we are about to run into the Barovian Emo Kids Club (BEKC), who are so depressed and gloomy, that they have dug subterranean tunnels all over the graveyard and brought the dead bodies to a central location, where they can all mope and dress in dark clothing together, while listening to alternative emo music.

What is the CR for an Barovian Emo Teenager? Hopefully we'll get some good xp. I think bludgeoning weapons do extra damage.

They have a vulnerability toward hugs.
