For anything that needs to be said and doesn't fit anywhere else, use this.
More information will be posted as the night wears on and tomorrow, circumstances have conspired to prevent this from being a smooth roll out.
Level 1 money. Roll starting gold, average for class, or flat DM-fiat sum?
Roll or average, your choice.
I've been waiting all week on Cy, but nothing out of him. I heard he's in the middle of a move, so some delay is likely inevitable. Nevertheless, I'd like to start making some progress. Our first session will be on Wednesday, March 7th at 7 PM. I'm not sure on the exact session length yet, but let's try 10 PM this first week and see how it goes.
I'd like all PCs to have sheets done by Tuesday night. If you have any questions about your sheet or concerns, I'll be glad to look them over and answer any questions.
To clarify since I somehow wasn't direct about this: Sessions will be on IRC. irc.lunarnet.org; #elysium will be the OOC room and #dunes will be the IC room.
Sheets look okay. Iddy, you forgot to apply the bonus spells for a high casting stat. That's the only thing I noticed that was wrong offhand.
Reminder! Our first session is tomorrow night, so be ready! Make sure to be in #elysium at 7 PM EST, sharp! Preferably a little earlier if possible.
Hopefully by next week Cy will have his 'net issues worked out.
Quick note: While alignment isn't a big deal this game, make sure you have an alignment on your sheet. I do need one to check for certain effects. If you don't care/are in doubt, just put neutral.
Posted one. I thought about outright putting evil, but as you said, I haven't done anything outright such. I wouldn't be shocked if Lucas shifts alignments at any point though.
SUBTLE HINT: INVEST IN USE ROPE WITH YOUR NEW BATCH OF PCS.
Never!
Scorecard is up. After a TPK I'm pleasantly surprised you managed a positive score. Keep it up!
I will take this advice under consideration given I won't be running someone with a negative INT mod this time.
Outstanding. Any ideas on a class yet?
I was planning on knight, but I may wait to see what the others want to play.
As an aside, can we have the company provide future groups with a wand of CLW?
Do put some sort of restriction on us to keep us from using charges, an expense report or something thematic, just so we don't use the charges up whenever we take 1 dmg.
Basically, something that still continues to encourage us to consider when to use our own spells/abilities if we have them, when to send someone out to Miranda, or just toughening it out, but still having healing available on emergencies (cleric dying and the rest surrounded by goblins, or something).
If you did this, I dunno if you want to keep the turn undead house rule or not, since that was originally for extra healing, but if nobody wants to play cleric, this helps more.
Lemme see how the group shapes up first. If you guys have an effective healer there's really no need.
Sure, that's fine!
People, if at all possible, try and have your new PCs done by Sunday night so I have prep time. You don't need every nitpicky detail, but at least your class/hit points/attack routine would be handy.
I -probably- won't make mine until monday or even tuesday night, sorry Dune.
As I mentioned before, I have a take-home exam due tuesday, which is why I cancelled for B3 this weekend.
You can use Tyr as a general reference for my stats (with +2 will, -2 fort and +2HP from his, since I'm playing knight instead of pally), and probably similar enough at the end.
Worst case if I can't get a sheet done, I'll just join in with new character the week after, but we'll see where I'm at with exam over the course of the weekend, honestly.
Okayo. G'luck Mercury.
My sheet's up, for what it's worth.
Outstanding.
Got new sheet up.
Gonna be the evil bitches club, isn't it?
Iddy said he wasn't playing an evil bitch, so guess not!
The token male?
Nah, I decided to follow the theme some-what. Chaotic Neutral female thief.

When all else fails, abandon morality.
I think I'll be going Warmage after all. It looks pretty fun!
Everyone ready for the session tomorrow?
Zeph isn't! His character still lacks boobs and evilness!
Iddy lacks evilness too, but his character has boobs, and she's a thief, leaving sad people crying over not being able to feed their family after being mugged, so close enough!
Now I'm going to have nightmares of you guys being boob hunters.
I just need to make a few minor changes to my sheet, and then I'm ready to go!
Good good. Just have 'em done by 7.
Cid: Remember we're using the variant turning in houserules.
Updates and scorecard updates will happen over the weekend sometime.
Good news everyone!
Soon after your (sorta) triumphant return, the goblins sent out a message! They conceded the passage to the Illusory Isle with the death of the chief! Free passage ahead is ours!
Preliminary reports of the six towers are as follows.
Tower 1: Garden of Bliss. A beautiful garden tower. Watch out for goblins, plants and vines.
Tower 2: The Golden Hall. Exactly what its name suggests, only in tower form. Watch out for the goblins and shocker lizards.
Tower 3: Joyous Dystopia. Watch out for the goblins and...we aren't sure what they are, but they smile a lot as they try and kill you.
Tower 4: Blackcast Luna. Watch out for the shadow goblins and shadow wolves!
Tower 5: Vivacious Greed. Lots and lots of treasure chests, but it's supposed to be a deathtrap. Watch out for the traps and not dying.
Tower 6: ????. Unknown. Signs indicate this tower is sealed by magic and can only be opened from within the other towers.
I vote for Tower 1 or 3! I'd say Tower 5, but I suspect the Boss has had too many personnel losses recently to want to risk that one just yet.
Level up? >.>
I vote for Tower 1, 2, or 5.
Tower 2 has shocker lizards. I am against Tower 2!
We just need a Druid that can make them our friends!
Shocker lizards have no friends and want none either! They are vicious little beasties!
Thinking about bumping this to level 2, since the PCs are dying faster and harder than ...well... PCs in this game. So pretty fast and hard. Interested? If nothing else, more HP will at least tone down lethality.
You know me. I'm all for a higher level, so I approve.
Noted. What do the rest of you think?
I find the notion of the boss shelling out for higher-quality employees to be an agreeable one after dying three times.
Okay. Unless Iddy argues otherwise, and I doubt he will, let's upgrade to level 2.
Since someone's bound to ask:
Starting gold for level 2 = 900gold
<Merc> I posted sheet. I built a miniature tank riding a velociraptor.
This next batch should be something else.
I don't see why you're shocked. Let's look at my track record here:
Character 1: sociopathic halfling beguiler with a sling and dog
Character 2: a devil-worshiping socialite/knight
Character 3: a seafaring weasel in an underground dungeon
Alric and Xyoria both need some sort of amusing line for their unemployment, Iddy!
That they do!
"Meet your coworkers!" thread needs update! The boss was sacked, you know! ^_~
I know. I've just been busy with game upkeep all over.
I'll believe you -only- because I've seen you hiding in a corner and rocking your knees while sucking your thumb after preparing stuff for Balmuria!
