Warriors Of The Coast OOC

Also just to let everybody know... now that the "lighthouse" and "pirate camp" sections are completed... EVERYONE HAS NOW REACHED THIRD LEVEL. PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CHARACTERS SHEETS WITH ALL YOUR NEW AND UPDATED INFORMATION! NEW HIT POINTS IS AVERAGE ROUNDED UP.

Khalia's 1XP behind the rest of the party due to scribing a scroll, and she's likely to get farther behind as she does this more often. For right now, I'm just assuming we got slightly more XP than we needed to level, but how's this going to affect XP in the long run?

Here my suggestion of Plan: Nelson go to the lighthouse and come back (or send) a man or two to watch over the men while reinforcement comes. Once someone else have come to watch over the prisonner arrive, we can go down and explore and stop teh captain before she find what she seeks, in hope it isn't 15 minutes it was needed but at least a few hours.

Decisions decisions... And a level! Woot! I'll get Skarg updated this evening. I need my books at home to do it properly. I'm not sure what feat I'm taking.

Anyways...

Reading stonegod's post, I can be that sneaky person, but unfortunately, Skarg's of the mindset that he needs permission to continue forward. He's gotten some Lawful tendencies with his year long guard position and has issues with being accused of dereliction of duty due to his low self esteem. Basically, he doesn't want to be a "screw up" and have that going against him as well as his looks. Like I said, low self esteem.

Skarg can stay with the prisoners while the rest of you folks start forward. That way, he can at least brief whatever guards show up and catch up from there. It's a way for him to make sure folks know that he hasn't deserted or whatever. That line of thought is silly if logic is applied. Of course folks will know he went with the rest of the group and hasn't abandoned his post, so to speak. But he's a bit paranoid about that and I'm trying to play it correctly. He doesn't want the other guards to be right about him. Make sense?

So, how about we have Nelson alert the guards at the lighthouse or whatever. Skarg stands guard over the prisoners until they show up. You folks head into the tunnels (assuming you think you're prepared for that). Skarg will catch up after he's briefed his "colleagues" on what's happening. Or will this be a problem, DEFCON1?

 

[DEFCON 1]

Well here's what you guys should know. If any PC stays behind to wait for the guard to show up... most likely they will not be involved with anything that will be going on down below because it'd take too long to catch up. If someone really wants to pretty much wait out the game and do nothing at for that entire time, that's of course your call. Doesn't seem real fun if you ask me.

To keep the party together here's what I see: If you send Nelson or one of the PCs to the lighthouse two things can occur. Either you bring one Watchman back to the camp so they can watch the prisoners while the party all goes into the tunnel together... or you as a group make the decision to wait for the hour and a half for the entire militia to show up, then you all go down into the tunnels together. Either way is fine.

As far as the healing situation... I will be writing about the magical items that Ari convinces the pirates to talk about in the next post, so that might make you all a bit more confident in going down into the tunnels straight away.

Jango is now level 3, except that he has not yet his feat. I am not sure what to gives him. Some people have some suggestions?

I was looking at the different book of Eberron I have, and I must tell that the Dragon's Prophecy list of feat in Magic of Eberon semms interesting, maybe even a bit abusive. And seeing we are after a dragon cultist, I must tell it doesn't seem very appropriate.

I was maybe thinking to take Abberant Dargonmark's Mystery (In Eberron Player's Handbook)

Now I am thinking, there is a few feat for Sorcerer in Complete Aracana... I don't remember them... but I am nto sure if going on teh path of the dragon heritage would be fitting. i think the abberant dragonmark should be enough.

Lastly, maybe I'll simply go for some metamagic feat.

Khalia's level 3; she took Draconic Archivist as her feat (so she can use her Dark Knowledge ability on dragons and constructs now). Question -- it's not going to affect her feat choice, but do warforged count as constructs for the purposes of that feat?

Also, I've been playing up the CSI role with Khalia, so I dumped another two points into search (it's now a maxed-out skill for her) and had hear learn the Find Traps spell; I hope that's not stepping on Skarg's toes too much.

As for the situation in-game Khalia's not going to be completely enthusiastic about heading down the tunnels tonight, mostly because she wants to help, but won't be able to do all that much.

 

[Brogarn]

How long will it take Nelson to get there and one Watchman to get back?

 

[Velmont]

Nothing official, but from what the dwarf had told us, most likely there magical items are:

Bracer of Armor (+1?)
Amulet of Natural Armor (+1?)
Wand of CLW
Potions of CLW x4
Potion of Jump
Potion of Disguise Self
Potion of Mage Armor
Potion of Endure Element

 

[DEFCON 1]

The party is about 10 minutes away (on foot if running/hustling) from the lighthouse and probably less than five returning on horseback (because the three Watchmen originally arrived on horseback). So if someone leaves, they'll be back you'd guess in less that fifteen minutes. From what the dwarf has told you, the Captain has been down below probably five/ten minutes already off searching/exploring.

Valmont's list of items is a pretty good basis to use.

Also, just fyi... I've created a BRAND NEW Character List in the Rogue's Gallery, and I would ask if you five would be willing to RE-POST your updated third level characters into this new thread. If I could have deleted old characters out of the other thread I would have... but this is the only way to eliminate retired characters from the list and clean the list up.

THIS IS THE UPDATED CHARACTER THREAD HERE

Thank you very much everybody!

 

[Brogarn]

No problem. I'll have Skarg up tonite.

Skarg would be fine with having Nelson alert the Watch and waiting the 15 minutes for a replacement to keep an eye on the prisoners while the party moved on.

15 minutes ok with everyone?
