Can the blood lust folks just go back and put a bloody handprint on the statue to end the effect?

I will post the next room tomorrow.

Looks like we have a couple skull statues in the great hall with crimson handprints

True, Mathias

I hope folks don't mind if I try something a little ...unexpected? Weird? I dunno. I thought it might be fun?

I like it! Clever use of the spell.

Nice

I agree, that feels very much in the spirit of Shadowdark.

Sorry, I have been AWOL for a couple of days. It was a super busy weekend. But I am back now.

So with our robes and the Mistress of Pain with us so we do the chanting room? We could take them by surprise and kill them quickly.

I'm not sure if anyone has said Tyrus' name out loud yet. Would we recognize him as Kara's partner just from seeing him? Thinking about if we could try to invoke her name, maybe try snapping him out of this trance he's in?

The characters who lived a while in Hillshire would know Tyrus at sight and know that he and Kara were a couple.

Hey pals!
I had a ton of grading to do this afternoon and my brain is cooked. I'm going to take tonight off and post tomorrow if that is alright with everyone. The adventure will continue! I just wanted to give everyone a heads up so you don't think that I took off right at the big boss battle.

Not a problem, thanks for the heads-up!

No prob!!

All good

Hey everyone!

Since we are nearing the end of the adventure, I wanted to post and thank everyone for putting up with my first time DMing on Gamer's Plane. There were a few kinks to work out, and I appreciate that everyone was patient with me. I hope that you enjoyed the adventure.

My thought is that in the future I would run another adventure, but I am thinking of running adventures like what D&D used to do with organized play. I don't remember what it was called, but I had a character, and I would take that character to conventions or events at game stores and play in adventures in a campaign path. The DM had to sign off on a sheet after you completed each adventure in the path. So, I am thinking that in the future I would run another adventure that is for levels two to three. That way, people can join if they want, or no big deal if they don't want to. So, y'all could keep your character for future adventures.

I am thinking about taking a little break from DMing for a few months, though. The end of the semester is busy for me, and I feel like I am involved in too many games right now, between Gamer's Plane and in-person games. But I do want to come back and run more Shadowdark adventures.

Thank you for running this adventure for us, and DMing in general. It's been a great time from my perspective, and I've had fun playing Llewellyn, and I hope other people have had fun with their characters. You really did a good job.

Had a great time playing Ivar and you did a bang up job running it. I would surely like to keep playing Ivar if you run another.
