She won't give in. Never, not ever.

Rah-Rah- Ree! Kick him in the knee!

Hey everyone,
After reading today's DM post, please read this...

Holy shit. First 6 PCs fail a Save vs Poison, the easiest save to make.
Then Dahinna defies all odds by single handedly defeating a wight. She had one level and 1 hp left when she killed it with exactly the damage she needed to do so. Had she failed to hit with the torch and the sword, or if she lost initiative again, she'd be dead.

Incredible.

The dice taketh away and the dice giveth.

[Yrkoon]

Dahinna is the MVP!

[jemmus]

For sure! Yay!

[hedgeknight]

Completely in the hands of the dice gods!!
Lucky ass she was!

[Yrkoon]

Is Cruloc able to respond?

[Inferno]

Yes: viewtopic.php?p=640168#p640168

The ancient horror is dead. The spectral avatar of Thanatos is gone.

Unrelenting in the face of certain doom, Dahinna has defeated death.

And with that Christmas miracle, we'll pause the game for the holidays.

Thanks everyone for another fun year of gaming. Best holiday wishes to you and your families. See you in the new year.

[hedgeknight]

Works for me (since I was heading out of town today anyway)
Have a merry one folks!

[jemmus]

Happy holidays everyone, see you in 2023!

[Yrkoon]

Thanks for the game!

Folks: I'm a regular on the Goodreads.com site. They do giveaways of pre-release books for people to read and review- I assume this is to start some buzz about the book, and to get some random quotes for the book cover.
I just got a copy of How to Defend your Lair, by Keith Ammann (who also wrote The Monsters Know What They're Doing). It's a guide to planning encounters with logic, so that your monsters and NPC's aren't just swordfodder that the PCs can mow down like weeds.
I'll post my thoughts on the book when I've finished it.

[Inferno]

Hey,
Happy new year everyone. Hope you had a great holiday.
I'm back and the new DM post is up. Looking forward to another year of gaming!

[jemmus]

Me too! Healthy and happy 2023 everyone.

[Inferno]

No consensus emerges on their next steps.

Hey gang,
You shouldn't split the party. It'll end in a TPK! So we'll go with the will of the majority, as usual.

In your next IC reply, please make your intention clear so I can count votes and move the game along.

Thanks!

We should take stock of our light sources.

Cruloc: 2 torches, 2 flasks of oil

I'm not against going west. What I meant to say is that I'd like to explore this area up here before descending below (I don't think we're ready for that). That passageway to the east which I needed to jump across to is intriguing. There's bound to be something interesting up that way.
If we are low on light sources, we should go to the surface and try to fashion some torches.

[Bluetongue]

We can fashion torches from this room. The curtain, the linens, the wooden benches. Must be some wax about, candles and stuff.

[Yrkoon]

Genius!
