waiting for you to open the new one... aren't we doign it in chat? or have I been way off base with that and it's being posted here.. that could be confusing.

EDIT: yes it is in chat.. so open a room!!!

I've opened a room "Return to the Castle in the Mists".

Sorry, but it really would be massively helpful if you could finish statting up your own character.

I didn't quite have time and everyone else is waiting for the game to start.

We played through the first session tonight. The castle ruins were explored, kobolds were massacred. Zombies were encountered and an ancient temple of nefarious powers was summarily fled from. For the benefit of any prospective players who missed the first half, the party will have returned to the luckless village of Lostwithial bruised and battered, burdened with much pillage but with none of the missing villagers in tow. Better luck next time?

They've also gained a level. So, if you're interested in playing again (or if you'll be joining us for the first time tomorrow night) - you're now level 4. Go you.

I've thoroughly enjoyed running tonight's session and we'll be back at the same time [10 pm GMT] tomorrow [Saturday]. Hope you can find the time to join us!

The second half of this weekend’s game will be starting in just under three hours.

If you’d like to play but haven’t sent me a character already then it would be great if you could let me know within the next couple of hours.

For anyone who’d like to join at this point, missing the first half shouldn’t be a problem at all. It would be great to see as many of you along as possible.

The old codger of a preacher will be there, come all ye wayward souls and listen to my sermon's while I drink smoke and hit on the pretty female warriors lol...

I'll be late again if I do come. I'm hoping to show up an hour to an hour and a half late. Got to have supper with the family first.

Do you mind if I submit a new character? I was thinking of either a mage/thief or fighter/thief. Is that okay? Would the character be level 3/3, then? Instead of level 4?

Thanks!
Ayrn

if it's a mage.....

Identify my ring!!!

hehe

Ayrn, shouldn’t be a problem if you’re a bit late. It would be good to have you in the party again.

If you do decide to create a new character and multi-class then you would indeed be level 3/3. If you’d like to restat Devlin to multi-class then that’s fine as well, I’ve already given Kaelyn and SilentOne the option of making any changes to the their characters before the game begins.

We’ll be starting in the next hour. I’ll probably be in chat a bit before then this time.

If you’d like to play and haven’t already sent me your character, it would be great if you could do so at some point before the game starts. (Or just send them to me once we’re in the game, but it would be helpful to know who’s in the party when statting up your last few encounters).

Hope to see you all there shortly.

The room name, imaginatively enough, will be: "Return to the Castle in the Mists: Part II".

Chill touch (repulses undead)
Magic missile (minor damage dealing)
Shield (protects you)
Invisibility (turns you invisible until you next cast a spell or attack)
Ray of Enfeeblement (weakens a single enemy)

wand of magic missile with five charges a day
healing potion.

RACIAL FEATURES
- 90% resistance to sleep and all charm-related spells.
- When employing a bow of any sort other than a crossbow, or when using a short or long sword, elves gain a bonus of +1 to their attack rolls.
- Bain a bonus to surprise opponents, but only if the elf is not in metal armor. Even then, the elf must either be alone, or with a party comprised only of elves or halflings (also not in metal armor), or 90 feet or more away from his party (the group of characters he is with) to gain this bonus. If he fulfills these conditions, he moves so silently that opponents suffer a -4 penalty to their surprise die rolls. If the elf must open a door or screen to attack, this penalty is reduced to -2.
- Elven infravision enables them to see up to 60 feet in darkness.
- Passing within 10 feet of a concealed door gives an elven character a one-in-six chance (roll a 1 on 1d6) to notice it. If actively searching for such doors, elven characters have a one-in-three chance (roll a 1 or 2 on 1d6) to find a secret door and a one-in-two chance (roll a 1, 2, or 3 on 1d6) to discover a concealed portal.
- +1 DEX, -1 CON

We ran through the second half of the adventure this morning. I’d just like to thank everyone who played, in either night’s session, for making it such a great game. We had a lot of fully fleshed-out unique characters, and a lot of fantastic roleplay… which in my experience is unusual for a one shot.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed running both sessions, hope everyone else had as much fun as I did. Same goes for everyone else taking part in GaryCon around the world… hope you all had a blast.

And now, before I wax incoherent, I’m off to bed. 4:30 in the morning
