One side note/tip for this adventure, you can get XP from finding treasure, magic items, secrets, oaths...etc, but there is another way to earn XP as printed in this module. I will leave it for y'all to discover, but I thought I would say something.

So are we looking to eliminate the sentries or just sneak by them?
Aug 30, 2025 9:21 pm
I mean, we may have to eliminate them later if we don't now, BUT we are level one squishies and I don't think killing every bad guy is the wisest approach here...maybe if we just kill their leader, or free all the captives and simply overrun them as we flee?

I think a sneak job is what we're doing and the wisest course of action. We got beat up by the two spiders pretty good, so three sentries is enough to make me think it's a bad idea to fight. Also, sorry GM I'm not sure where captives slipped out of. I think I was trying to write a longer passage to make the sound the distraction caused be in reference to the illusion distraction and the escaped captive make more sense linking the two, as a reference, but it didn't come out right.

That is what I thought just wanted to double check and make sure.

No worries, Plebeian, there is so much going on that sometimes it is difficult to keep track of details.

Yes, it looked right to me.

That went a lot better than the spiders. We just needed some experience.

That, and the dice were on our side this time. We were getting some terrible rolls last time, too. Good planning helped.

Sorry, I didn't post yesterday. Work has been insane. And I proctored SAT this morning. That is how you make the big bucks.
Sep 13, 2025 10:01 pm
No worries, life comes first. Glad you're getting the big bucks. Can we get some good loot hauls next?

Hey crew!

I have to apologize. I attended a board game convention here in Colorado this weekend, and I figured that I would have time to post on Gamers Plane, but I think I greatly overestimated my energy levels. So, I apologize for being gone for a few days. I'm back now.

I have also been thinking that the person-by-person initiative isn't working so well. So, I am thinking of adjusting if that is okay with everyone else. I am thinking that I will just roll everyone's initiative for them and then place characters in initiative groups. I am 100% stealing this from Dhakhan in the Bands of Power game. I will quote what he wrote...
Quote:
1) Given the nature of PbP games, I will roll all initiatives. Typically combat will be side based, meaning all the PCs will go in one batch and then all the NPCs will go in one batch. In order to keep it "easy" to understand, I'll post the current combat lineup in Bold Teal. If your name is in bold, you are free to take your action. If not, no action for you!

Example:
COMBAT! Bold below may act:
Evil Monkey
Bob
Bill
Susan
Army of Grifters

During the PC’s initiative block there is no posting order. Just post your characters action and I’ll interpret them in the initiative order.

2) Please roll attack and damage when you declare your attack. If you roll a 20, edit in an extra dice for the crit damage. For example, make a roll like: Longbow Shot: 1d20+3, 1d8+1.

3) If you think your action will need a roll, post it. If I don't need/want it, I'll just ignore the result. :)

…this was stolen whole cloth from Dramasailor. Thank you!
So, if this is okay with everyone else, I think that this will move things along at a faster clip. I am new at this DMing PBP and still trying to figure everything out.

Works for me!

I am good with that
Sep 22, 2025 5:16 pm
Sounds like a good call, I am all for it!
Sep 22, 2025 5:19 pm
Approved! Which board game convention, if you dont mind my asking?
Sep 23, 2025 2:22 am
It is called B-Con. A small con in the Denver Tech Center. The best game I played was Pan Am. It was really fun.
