"Hmm, there's a clay tablet here," HP calls. Daryll laughs. "Don't read it. In fact, don't touch it." HP arches an eyebrow, then uses an unlit torch to scoop it into his backpack. "Why not?" he asks Daryll. "It's cursed. It'll make yer brains slides out yer ears. Y...

Oof sucks. Wife and kids were sick all last week, just now starting to get over it. I went and got meds Tuesday morning, feeling much better now. Hang in there... it's been a tough year so far on the sickness front.

RavenCrowking maybe having internet connection issues again in ye olde frozen north. Itching to get this expedition wrapped up so HP can go study!

HP rolls a 5 + 2 = 7, and takes a point of strength loss temporarily from coughing and hacking.

I happen to be reading the Bible right now, and it struck me that Jed and Jonas have a strong resemblance to Moses and Aaron. Moses was the chosen one and the main intermediary between God and the Hebrews, but he wasn't a good speaker so God sent him Aaron to do the talking. This could be kind of th...

Gunnar forms up a rank with Milner. "Careful, the coin will be hot!"

Attacking defensively...

HP wil venture into the room, look around for anything like a book that might have survived the flames first. Then look for coins and jewelry.

Daryll takes a closer look at the first door.

Interesting. Can Gunnar and Milner finish off the turned skeletons? Daryll and Cisneros recognize Milner. Cisneros alerts the rest of the party. "Fear not; he's a comrade, of sorts. Glad to have you back, friend." Daryll grunts, and inspects the first door a bit closer. You said it was loc...

Are we surprised? If not, what's this guy look like? Cisneros and Daryll were standing close by, and will attack if he looks threatening... if not they may talk. Gunnar will attack the nearest one defensively. To hit: 16 + 3 (deed) + 2 + 1 (bless) = 22. Damage: 7 + 3 + 2 (+1 bless?) = 12 or 13? HP ...

I think we're ready... everybody's chimed in? Except the Noah guy but he hasn't said anything in a good long while, may be awol.

what... You can't? why not? In terms of what it is, i'd think a deity would expect a serious sacrifice. And of course we've seen how ... problematic ... spellburn regen can be, heh. I checked the book just to be sure, and it says clerics can only spellburn in very rare circumstances. I think I'd al...

my actions stand as before... Daryll and Cisneros are near Murq.

Jed or Jonas may want to consider invoking divine aid and spellburning the hell out of it.... it may be the only way to stop a big mass of undead nasties, and seems like we're about to get hit from 2 sides...

Haha.... Nergal is too convenient and lets face it, poor Jed has a rough time with an 8 personality

Willem... You better burn all the luck you need to get out of there.

Initiative: 11 + 1 = 12. Gunnar waits just outside the doorway... he waits for Willem to come out then barks out the signal for Jonas to pour the oil, then HP (or someone else with a lit torch) will step up and light it. Anything comes through the flames Gunnar will attack defensively! to hit: 19 + ...

After Jed instructs Jonas in the faith, and everybody is ready, Gunnar will nod. "Any last words?" Assuming none, Gunnar says, "All right then, Master Willem. We didn't get dressed up for nothing."

So, uh, I think we're waiting on you, Dogma...

LEVEL FIRST.

No, really...

I MEAN IT!


As for God, Nergal seems to be Neutral and Jonas has Jed to learn from already, so that might both make sense and work well. Up to you of course.

Right, gotcha. Waiting to see if Willem / Jonas leveled up. That may be helpful. "So," Gunnar says, "the plan is: Murq will spike the third door. Jonas will get ready with the oil here by the second door, just on the outside here, by the wall. Willem will go in, grab some gold, and r...

The edge of the shield catches the thing in the neck, decapitating its rotting head from the rest of its carcases. The teeth still snap for a minute or two, and then grow still. Just noticed, did we get XP for this guy? I'm thinking Willem & Jonas ought to be hitting level 1 right about ... now...

"Hmm. Murq, I think that's a fine idea," Gunnar says. "We'll guard this door here (the second), go spike the third. Who's got some oil? No, don't spill it yet... I think we'll need someone to run in and ... wake the dead ... first. Anyone feeling particularly brave?"
