((Teirra is still listed as having positive HP.  I'm sure it doesn't affect anything, but in the off-chance it does...)
((and I also have level-up options... Strange))

Specter suggestion: Hunt for sweet mages souls instead of an empty harmless husks. Feast!

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

Important Note: I've put more thought into the leveling system. The old way pushed surviviability significantly more than sustained damage output. I apologize for wildly swinging my nerf bat after the game has already started, but I have changed people's character sheets (The old ones will be in the first post for a bit longer, if you wish to compare. It's mostly just HP reductions, but EagleV now has a slightly longer range). Battles would have been very difficult with high survivability unless the casters powerblast through everything, while the enemy casters don't need to worry about spell conservation.

((Amusingly, this mostly came about because I wanted to nerf Rolepgeek's HP. He proceeded to roll perfectly, leaving it unchanged.))

Sarrak, you are indeed dead. I was quickly going through the battles-for-leveling, and wasn't paying enough attention to remember that you had died.



Alice needs 1g from the guild vault in order to buy a robe of +1 magical defense.

Nil merges Teirra's saved 4g into the guild vault.

As guild taxes have not been mentioned, Chaun quietly adds the 2g taken from the fallen mage into his personal vault, and hopes the other two have forgotten about it.

The merchant will pay 6g for the four knives brought back from the expedition.



Marks Deno orders the party to use their scrolls and quickly gets out his own. He carefully traces first a short runic sequence, which supposedly informs the gate of his imminent return. He then traces a much longer series, and on its completion is instantly engulfed in a spire of flame. He and it vanish within seconds, leaving only a tiny cloud of the scroll's ashes. Chaun follows within half a minute. Boldbold takes one last look around and unfurls his own, hoping it rings back his weasel as advertised.


The ranger arrives in a small torchlit room. The teleportation left him nauseous, befuddled, and quite dizzy, but unharmed. He staggers to the ground, and finds a cup of water pushed into his hands. By the time he is done, Chuan, Boldbold, and the weasel are with him, as well as six heavily armored guards tensely holding their swords and one wizard, who is just finishing a spell.

"Confirmed, this group was ours. I don't sense any beacons or tag-alongs."

The guards relax. One speaks holds up a piece of paper and speaks. "This was a group of four. You returned by recall scroll?" Chaun nods after a moment. "Did you leave any out there?"

Chaun replies. "The fallen lass still had one, aye."

The guard looks annoyed. "Doubled guard duty for another week, high alert for a month. Be careful next time." Marks looks about to say something, but he cuts him off. "Yes, yes, you need to mourn your loss. Go on." He motions towards the single exit. After a short wide corridor (heavy with disabled traps), they climb a ramp and find themselves back in the courtyard. The group returns to the guild cottage with new ideas for training themselves.

((I'm not really sure what to do for higher levels of the guild training area. Low levels will give more options. I will not be making any give more than the standard one pick per level. I may allow some to increase the freebie bonuses or give more powerful choices, but I'm reluctant to make later characters just plain better like that. On the other hand, that would help ease the pain from losing a character. Retro-actively upgrading everyone is not something I'm interested in.))

The relief! Yeah, thought so when I saw my name still being in the active list. Well, thanks for the play once again, I think I'll return later.

I say we sell the knives.

I also say that Barthold will begin a plan of Buying Low, Selling High, to make money.

Is the new 7/7HP count from before levelling, or taking the level up gain into account?

((So I was looking at the character sheets that irony was considering, and I decided to add my own (unbiased) opinions and observations on the various character sheets.))

(Hmmm. I don't know whether to chose the HP boost or pack mule: Higher HP allows Chauner to actually participate as a front-line soldier and not worry about dying nearly as much (dodge makes him far more resilient then one would first presume), but Pack Mule is sort of adding his shtick of hauling.)

(( I'm fairly certain you're going to regret not taking the other one, whichever one you choose. I'd go with HP. Better to regret having no room for an item than to regret having not enough HP. ))
(( Nirur: I guess the power reagent is Alcohol - Aqua Fortis - Aqua Regalia or somesuch? If so, it is possible that enemies will carry it, or can I craft it, or is it found in a shop or in the wild, or possibly any of the above? Or would my character not know, having only ever needed to use the guild stockpiles? ))

Neb's cheerfull smile quickly vanishes when he sees only three people enter. "Damn. Boss told us it was bad, never thought it was that bad. Are you guys allright?"

((Yes, you should be able to buy low tier power reagents easily enough, even with the guild there. You might be able to find some on enemies or as dungeon loot.))
