Subject: Bucklers ...
..... are NOT available to the Prisoners!
After you are free you can buy a Buckler at a local Weapons shop!
The Cure Wand is 0 EV so you can carry it with you!
You will need that Cure Wand during one of the Waves of Opponents!
Composite Long Bow = 4 EV
Quiver of 20 Arrows = 2 EV
A total of 6 EV and then add Small Shield is 2 EV for a total of 8 EV leaves you 2 more EV to use without a Penalty!
Hand/Throwing Axe is 2 EV and a Dagger is 1 EV which would give you a total of 11 and put you one over!
You are going to need to move around unhindered because of the type and amount of opponents you will be facing!
The items listed for everyone's PC Character are what you are carrying into the battle and in Cirro's case she has 10 EV remaining to carry Plus the 52 EV for your backups that are in a pile by the wall 10 feet away when you get started in the adventure!
Cirro I had posted your 10 EV options above, so just decide if you want the Small Shield you can add 2 Daggers or just add the 1 Hand/Throwing Axe!

Subject: Monk Abilities
MIND OVER MATTER
The Monk's mental mastery over their body imparts a +1 bonus to all saving throws versus paralysis, polymorph, petrification and death attacks.
Bonus increases to +2 at 3rd level, +3 at 6th level, +4 at 10th level and +5 at 15th level.
STUNNING ATTACK
A foe successfully struck by the Monk's Stunning Attack must make a constitution saving throw or be stunned and unable to act for 1d4 rounds.
Those struck by a Stunning Attack always take normal unarmed attack damage.
Monks can use this ability once per round and no more than once per level per day.
Monks must declare its use before making an attack roll. A missed attack roll ruins the attempt and counts against the Monk's limitation.
UNARMED ATTACK
Monks specialize in unarmed, hand-to-hand combat and gain attacks and improve in the amount of unarmed combat damage inflicted [as shown in table in Castles & Crusades Players Handbook: 1d4 at lst level, 1d6 levels 2-4, 1d8 levels 5-8, 1d10 levels 9-12].
Monks also gain the ability to make an off-hand attack at 6th level and may choose whether the attacks inflict normal damage or subdual damage.
When Monks gain the extra off-hand attack they do not incur the penalties to their To Hit Die Rolls as described in the combat section as long as both attacks are unarmed attacks.
Monks fighting with a one-handed weapon can make an unarmed attack as an off-hand attack, but the Monk suffers the standard penalties for two-weapon fighting.
UNARMORED DEFENCE
Monks know how to use his or her body for defence and gains an armor class bonus that increases with experience as indicated on the Monk Special Abilities Table:
1st level is 10 Unarmored Armor Class
2nd level is 11
3rd - 4th level is 12
5th - 7th level is 13
8th - 11th level is 14
12th level is 15
DEFLECT MISSILES
At 2nd level Monks gain the ability to deflect arrows and other non-magical missiles, including but not limited to:
Arrows, axes, bolas, bolts, bullets, clubs, daggers, darts, hammers, harpoons, javelins, nets, rocks and spears.
Monks must have at least one hand free to use this ability.
When a Monk would normally be hit with a ranged weapon the Monk can make a Dexterity Check and if the check succeeds the Monk deflects the weapon and suffers no damage.
This can be done once per round for levels 2-6, twice per round for levels 7-11, three times per round for levels 12-16 and four times per round for levels 17-20.
Monks must be aware of the attack to use this ability. An attempt to deflect a ranged weapon counts as a Monk's primary unarmed attack.
If a Monk is a high enough level to have a secondary unarmed attack the Monk may still make the secondary attack if teh deflect missile ability has only been used once or twice.
If three or more missiles are deflected the secondary attack is considered used. This ability cannot be used against siege weapon ammunition.
FAST MOVEMENT
At 3rd level and higher a Monk moves faster thatn normal members of his Race.
Monks carrying a medium or heavy load loses this extra speed. Monk Special Abilities Chart for Fast Movement:
Levels 3-5 is 40 feet
Levels 6-9 is 50 feet
Levels 10-12 is 60 feet
KI STRIKE
AT 3rd level a Monk's unarmed attack is empowered with ki.
This attack deals damage to a creature as if from a +1 magic weapon. This ability improves as the Monk rises in levels:
5th level = +2
8th level = +3
12th level = +4
17th level = +5
SLOW FALL
At 4th level a falling Monk takes damage from a fall as if the fall were 20 feet shorter than it actually is and the Monk must be within 10 feet of a vertical surface that he or she can use to slow the descent to use this ability.
PURITY OF BODY
At 5th level Monks gain +1 to all Saving Throws versus disease and poison.
This Saving Throw Bonus increases by one for every level past 5th. A 10th level Monk would receive a +6 Bonus and after the 10th level the +1 Bonus is gained once every other level [even numbered level] to a Maximum Bonus of +10 at 18th level.
STILL BODY
AT 6th level a Monk has mastery over vital bodily functions and can slow them until he or she appears to be dead.
Monks may maintain this state of feigned death for a number of turns equal to the Monk's level.
FAST HEALING
At 7th level a Monk's body naturally heals faster than normal.
Each day a Monk heals 1d4+1 Hit Points per level as long as rest, sleep and meditation is possible.
Monks must be in a serene environment, under no physical duress or mental stress, must be able to sleep undisturbed for 12 hours and meditate undisturbed for 6 hours.
Food and water should be plentiful.
STILL MIND
At 9th level Monks gain a +2 Bonus to Saving Throws against confusion, charm, fear and spells that affect the mind.
Bonus increases to +4 at 11th level and at 13th level the Bonus is +5 and increases by +1 every other level attained thereafter [every odd numbered level].
QUIVERING PALM
At 12th level a MOnk gains a fearsome and fabled attack: the Quivering Palm.
Monks can use Quivering Palm attack once per week and the attack must be announced before an attack roll is made.
The Monk must be of a higher level than the target or have more levels than the targets Hit Dice.
If the Monk successfully deals damage with an unarmed attack the Quivering Palm succeeds.
Thereafter the Monk can choose to try to slay the victim at any later thime within 1 round per level of the Monk.
The Monk merely wills the target to die and the victim makes a Constituion check. If the victim fails it dies.
For example a 10th level Monk successfully strikes a 5th level Fighter. The Monk can then attempt to will the Fighter to die any time within the following 10 rounds.
Should the Fighter fail a Constitution Saving Throw the Fighter dies.
This attack has no effect on the undead or creatures that can only be struck by magic weapons unless the Monk is able to hit the creature with the Ki Strike ability.

Subject: Attention Shopper
CirroWolf the Small Wooden Shield is 2 EV which leaves you with 8 more EV to carry without penalty!
Small Wooden Shield is NOT a Buckler!
No Gauntlets are available and the Surcoat is not available either!
Remember you are still a Prisoner and have to fight your way to freedom!
As a Prisoner you are limited to the weapons and armor available, but after gaining freedom you can buy other items at a local Weapons & Armor Shop!
Same thing with the Mace Weapon that someone wanted because the Mace is NOT Available to Prisoners for the Emancipation Sand Dance! But Will Be Available After Gaining Freedom!
You also have 52 more EV maximum to carry out to the Dark Arena sands and place in a pile 2 squares behind the #8 position which is 10 feet away!
May I suggest you acquire a Composite Long Bow and Quiver of 20 Arrows which is 4 EV and 2 EV which would give you 6 of the 10 EV and then the Small Shield would be 2 EV leaving you with 2 EV to carry for the opening!
You could add a Club or Hand/Throwing Axe for the remaining 2 EV or here are 2 other possibilities:
Add the above [Long Bow and Arrows for 6 EV] with a Medium Wooden Shield for 3 EV and a Dagger for 1 EV or
Add the above [Long Bow and Arrows for 6 EV] and take a Large Wooden Shield for 4 EV to make up your remaining 10 EV points!
As for your 52 backup EV you can add a bunch of Arrows at 2 EV per Quiver and some Javelins would be a nice touch as they are a carry weight of 3 EV per Javelin and have a range of 30 feet when thrown!
I Do Not Want to Spoil the Opener, but each of the 4 Teams will be outnumbered by the type of opponents that emerge from beneath the Dark Arena in the First Wave!
The More Ranged Weapons the Better!
Especially at the beginning and then for other opponents in the following waves ......
Hand/Throwing Axes have a 10 foot range at 2 EV and Daggers have a 10 foot range at 1 EV and Clubs have a 10 foot range at 2 EV which all would be handy!
Another thing to keep in mind is that as other members of the other teams die off ... or if they succeed in causing their opponents to flee ... they could be headed in our direction!
And ALL Opponents Must Die Before the Next Wave of Opponents Emerge to do Battle!
Therefore ... the second wave of opponents will not emerge until ALL the first wave opponents Die!
What if you are facing a Dozen Opponents and they fall to the sands Seemingly Dead ... but are Only Stunned and then recuperate and get up again?
Make Sure They Are All Dead ... Meaning the Above Mentioned Ranged Weapons are Important for Finishing the Job!

Subject: Okay ...
..... today I was able to bring my Xenophobia legal pad and write in the info for the rest of you!
Will be leaving the office soon so I can double check a couple of things in my Castles & Crusades books an post the info for the rest of you!
NOMAD the C&C book does not give the Ranger a double weapon proficiency [as far as I know!]
However I am allowing Ullrich to fight with the Shortsword in his off hand without any penalties because his Primes are Strength, Dexterity and Wisdom and the reading of the Manual of Quickness and Action coupled with the Tome of Understanding that increases Ullrich's Dexterity and Wisdom by 3 each warrants him the ability in my opinion!
I have to check the C&C Players Handbook to double check the Ranger Armor restrictions and when I do I will post in the Q&A what all that Ullrich has with an explanation if necessary!
Ullrich does have a Dagger to go along with the Composite Long Bow [+2 Oathbow] plus a Quiver of 20 Arrows!
Just have to Double Check his Armor!
ABRAXIS if you are still alive and well and reading this then please respond with info!
I decided that the +2/+4 Dragon Slayer is a Longsword and your +2 Armor of Fire Resistance is Plate with the Helm of Telepathy being a Normal Helm to go along with the Armor!
We will be starting this adventure in the next few days and I really would rather have your input, but if I do not hear from you in time then I will assign your weapons and have to NPC your actions!
Darque mentioned you were in the path of Ike down in Texas so I hope all is well with you!

I will clear up any confusion in the next couple of days!
Monday is my Extremely Busy office day and I will be home late like maybe after 10pm my time!
My books are home because of no time today as I have to all the Sports pages!
But off the top of my head I am considering allowing you to fight with both because of your high Dexterity and being a Prime!
Not Sure what Armor is available!
NOTE TO ALL PLAYERS Looking closely at Bumble Brew, the two NPC Allies Barbarian and Bard, plus the 3 other teams of Fighters, Monks and Clerics you will notice the Encumbrance Value and Adjusted for Wearing!
I gave all characters their Armor and Weapons for their Adjusted EV value and then the maximum load they could carry for Overburdened.
The first set of Armor and Weapons shows you how much the character can carry without being penalized and slowed down!
Will post everyone's Values withing the next couple of days! Will do At Least One tonight when I get home late!

Subject: Attention Nomad & Everyone Else!
While working on NPC Characters today I noticed that your PC Character Ranger should probably have the Prime Attribute changed from Intelligence to Wisdom because 4 of your Ranger Abilities are linked to Wisdom Attribute!
As the Castle Keeper I Think that is only fair to you as a player since I am using the Castles & Crusades version that you and everyone else does not have at their fingertips!
I will just switch the Tomes your Ranger is studying from Intelligence to boost your Wisdom from 15 to 18 and the boost to your Dexterity with that Tome plus keep the rest of your created numbers as they originally were!
The Opening Battle is being delayed by a few days while I get some of the info posted for everyone, PLUS We Need to Post Some Role Play and Get Our Weapons etc!
I will be posting the info for Bumble Brew and ThunnGarr the Mighty and Ollie Gory along with the group of Fighters, Monks and Clerics at the North End, East End and West End of the Dark Arena!
I still have to post the info for each of your PC Characters PLUS I realized that I have NOT posted the Monk Abilities nor the Knight Abilities and still have to finish the Cleric Abilities!
The Wizard and Cleric characters receive their spell abilities through Faith in their respective deities!
I will be including what spells that Cunning Fox is receiving when I post the information for Cunning Fox!

The Reserved Areas preceding your question are going to receive updates on the pertinent info needed for the opening of our adventure1
Once I do that I could send you an Email, but I may not get on any of that until sometime Sunday as this is more involved than I anticipated to get ready by Sunday!
What you basically need to know is how much you can carry into the Dark Arena as 5 times your Encumbrance Rating for being overburdened.
Hopefully I will get those ratings posted for each character as soon as possible!
Just start figuring out what weapons you want to add to your list because in your case the Elven Chain has provided you more room for carrying something else!
You are allowed ANY ARMOR and ANY WEAPONS so Choose Wisely and we will work out the details as we go!

Topic: Q & A ~ Land of Xenophobia ~
Subject: Ranger Abilities
COMBAT MARAUDER
Rangers possess an extraordinary ability to combat their most common foes, humanoids and giants due to intense training and study of their enemy's fighting techniques.
When fighting humanoids (bugbears, gnolls, goblins, hobgoblins, kobolds, orcs and the like) or giants (giants, ogres and the like) a Ranger inflicts Extra Damage.
DAMAGE BONUS is +1 at First Level with an additional +1 gained at every level beyond first.
The use of this ability is dependent upon the armor worn. Wearing armors other than those allowed reduces the Ranger's mobility and swiftness of arm such that he cannot effectively use this ability.
Ranger Armor includes Breastplates, chainmail hauberk & shirt, curi bouille, greek ensemble, leather, chain coif, leather coat, padded, ring mail, scale mailand studded leather [Check Q&A list for Armor allowed in Dark Arena!]
CONCEAL [DEXTERITY]
Rangers can conceal themselves extremely well in wilderness areas.
With a successful Dexterity check Rangers can camouflage themselves so well as to be unnoticeable by most passers-by.
Rangers cannot conceal themselves and move silently at the same time until they reach 5th Level, but at 5th Level and Beyond Rangers can attempt both, but must make a successful conceal and move silent check at -5. In this case movement is reduced to one quarter the normal movement rate.
Rangers cannot conceal themselves if being observed, even casually, before the conceal check is attempted, unless the observer is momentarily distracted and the Ranger can attempt to use this ability.
While the observer averts its attention the Ranger can attempt to get to a hiding place of some kind.
The Attribute Check however is at a -10 Penalty because the Ranger has to move quickly to the hiding place, but the ability cannot be used if armors other than those allowed are worn.
DELAY/NEUTRALIZE POISON [WISDOM]
Knowledge of flora and fauna enables a Ranger to identify dangerous toxins and their symptoms and Rangers can apply remedies to slow or even nullify their effects.
This ability can only be used with natural poisons (animals, plants, fungus etc) familiar to the Ranger - usually those found in the region where the Ranger spends most of their time be it forest, desert or mountain.
The only manufactured poisons with which a Ranger is familiar are those produced by their Favored Enemy. [See Favored Enemy Attribute Below]
To succeed at this task the Ranger must have access to herbs and antidotes. [Castle Keeper decides if herbs are available or antidotes can be produced]
On a successful Delay Poison Roll the Ranger can temporarily delay the effect of poisons.
The onset or continuation of the effects of the poison are delayed for one hour per Level of the Ranger.
This does Not cure any damage the poiison may have already caused and it takes One Round to Perform This Action and the Ranger may make Only One Attempt at this task.
If the delay poison roll exceeds the total score needed for success by 6 or more the Ranger has successfully neutralized the poison in the victim.
The afflicted creature suffers no additional damage or effect from the poison and any temporary effects are ended, but the neutralization of teh poison Does Not Reverse Any Damage or Effects that have already occurred.
MOVE SILENTLY [DEXTERITY]
The Ranger is able to move silently in wilderness areas with a successful Dexterity Check and can move up to one-half the Ranger's normal speed at no penalty.
At more than one-half and up to the Ranger's full speed the Ranger suffers a -5 Penalty.
It's Practically Impossible (-20 Penalty) to move silently while running or charging and Rangers cannot perform this ability indoors and this ability cannot be used if armors other than those allowed are worn.
SCALE [DEXTERITY]
This extraordinary ability allows a Ranger to climb up, down or across a dangerous natural slope or inverted incline that other would find impossible to climb.
When doing so the Ranger moves at one-half the Ranger's normal speed and a Failed Check means the the Ranger makes No Progress.
A Check that Fails by 5 or more means that the Ranger Falls from the currently attained height and must suffer Falling Damage.
Nothing can be carried in the Ranger's hands while climbing and when climbing typical natural slopes and inclines such as steep but rocky hillsides a Ranger Need Not make an Attribute Check to scale the surface.
This ability cannot be used if armors other than those allowed are worn.
TRAPS [WISDOM]
A RAnger is able to Detect and Build Simple Traps in a Wilderness Environment.
When passing within 25 feet of a Wilderness Trap a Ranger is Entitled to an Attribute Check to spot it.
When Actively Searching for Traps the Ranger receives a +2 Bonus to the Check.
It takes One Round to locate a trap in a 5x5 foot area or One Turn spent searching to locate a trap in a 25x25 foot area.
Rangers Cannot Find Magical Traps with this ability.
Rangers can set simple traps in a wilderness environment. These include snares, pit traps and similar devices.
Rangers Cannot Set Complicated Mechanical Traps such as those found on treasure chests or on doorways.
On a successful Traps Check the Ranger successfully builds and conceals a snare or pit trap.
Snares can capture and hold creatures of up to medium height and Pit Traps can be dug to deliver 1d4 ponts of damage (halved if the creature falling in it makes a successful Dexterity Saving Throw).
Rangers can also disable simple wilderness traps (of any type they can build) with little or no effort. No Traps Check need be made to do this.
SURVIVAL [WISDOM]
In wilderness environments Rangers can provide shelter for themselves and others and can provide decent food and water for several people all without the need for an Attribute Check Unless it is a Large Number of People.
Rangers can forage and hunt for food and water and must spend 8 hours hunting and gathering to produce enough food and water to feed 2-8 people for a day.
If the Ranger wishes to feed or shelter a larger group of people than the Die Indicate, a successful Wisdom Check is necessary.
If successful the Ranger must spend an additional 8 hours gathering food to feed and water an additional 2-8 people. This additional effort allows the Ranger to gather food and water for up to 4-16 creatures.
The Ranger can Only Hunt and Forage for Food Twice per Day.
In addition to the ability to provide food and shelter in the wilds a Ranger can automatically determine where True North lies in relation to the Ranger in normal wilderness environments
TRACK [WISDOM]
Rangers can successfully track any creature in a wilderness setting that leaves a discernable trace.
Rangers can also determine characteristics about the creature being tracked. With a successful Wisdom Check a Ranger can find and follow a creature's tracks or trail for 5 hours.
Rangers can also Hide Tracks at the same level of ability.
When Tracking or Hiding Tracks from humanoids or giants a Ranger receives a +2 Bonus to the Attribute Check and the Castle Keeper may apply Bonuses or Penalties for varying conditions, such as the length of time elapsed since the tracks were made, weather conditions, the number of creatures tracked and whether the tracked creature moved through water or a secret door.
A successful Track Check may also impart information about the creature(s) being tracked. Once a trail is found a Track Check cna determine the general number and tuype of creatures being tracked.
The number of creatures tracked shold be disclosed to the Ranger by using one of the following categories:
Individuals [1-6]
Band [6-30]
Troop [20-100]
Army [100+]
Beast
Fey
Giant
Humanoid
PLant
Vermin
Other [Aberration, Construct, Dragon, Elemental, Magical Beast, Ooze, Outsider, Shapechanger or Undead]
For many creature the Ranger can Not Identify its Exact Type. Only that it is a creature of such nature until some experience has been gained tracking it.
Rangers can identify Specific Animal Tracks with No Effort and after having tracked a Particular Type of Creature Several Times the Ranger can Later Identify it Tracks.
At Fifth Level a Ranger can identify the Specific Type of Creature(s) being tracked if belonging to one of the following categories and with which the Ranger has had some interaction:
Beast
fey
Giant
Humanoid
Plant
Vermin
At Third Level a Ranger can ascertain Distinguishing Characteristics about the creatures tracked, such as whether they are Wounded, Exhausted, Carrying Heavy Objects or Wearing Certain Armor.
Rangers might even be able to determine if a Spellcaster is in the group being tracked. The marks or characterizations are limited only by the Castle Keeper's imagination and desire to provide or enhance story elements during game play.
FAVORED ENEMY
At Sixth Level a Ranger chooses one specific type of creature as a favored enemy.
Example: Rangers might choose goblin or gnoll or hill giant, but the Castle Keeper should require the player to choose an Enemy that is consistent with the past history and storylines involving the Ranger, which would ideally be a type of creature that the character has encountered and fought on several occasions in past adventures.
Knowledge of the Favored Enemy confers Numerous Bonuses to the Ranger's Ability Checks.
When combating a Favored Enemy the Ranger gains Additional Combat Bonuses due to an Advanced Fighting Style Developed through the Experience of Repeatedly Fighting that type of creature.
Rangers gain +2 Bonus to Hit against a Favored Enemy and the Ranger also receives a +2 Bonus to Armor Class when Fighting a Favored Enemy.
Tracking the Favored Enemy a Ranger receives a +2 Bonus to the Tracking Check and the Ranger is also able to Neutralize Poisons of the Favored Enemy whether Manufactured or Natural.
The Combat Bonus of this ability cannot be used if armors other than those allowed are worn.

Determining Encumbrance for PC Characters
Each Character has an Encumbrance Rating or ER base of 10
Add the Strength Modifier [if any] to the base of 10
If Strength or Constituion is a Prime Attribute then you add +2 to the ER rating and if you have both STR and CON as Prime Attributes then you would have +4 to the ER base of 10 [+2 STR and +2 CON]
Example: Ranger with STR and CON as Prime Attributes has a starting ER base of 10 +2 +2 = 14 and add the STRENGTH Modifier for an 18 Strength +3 for a total of 17 ER
You compare the EV to the ER and can carry up to 5 times your ER
Encumbrance Category
None = 0 to 1x ER
Light = 1x ER to 2x ER
Moderate = 2x ER to 3x ER
Heavy = 3x ER to 4xER
Overburdened = 4x ER to 5x ER
Any Item with a "w" in parenthesis means used for wearing and if wearing [such as armor] then deduct -1 from the EV
For example Plate Mail Armor has 4 EV but worn is -1 = 3 EV
