World: Faerun/Forgotten Realms – begin in Neverwinter and greater area
Campaign Changes: Sanity 11 or swap; up to 4 inspirations; Int+ = skills or language; item resilience; Intimidation to use the higher of STR or CHA; Use the rule of averages; full action = full healing potion; (average/full/crit) from Incarna
Light Mace or morning star (chain). Adds holy water damage. It will give you 10 attacks per flask of holy water, But they’re expended even if you miss, And a crit counts as 2; On a crit you’d need to roll a d6, On a 1 they break. Crit fail automatically breaks. COST = x2 light mace;
Heavy Bracers give no AC but have 1 resilience. Anyone can use. COST = 1gp
Buckler uses shield proficiency, give 1 AC, 1 resilience, weight 1lb, and you can hold another light object in the same hand (Dagger, torch, potion, etc…) OR it counts as a free hand for spellcasting. COST = 2gp

Ogre – we choose to kill! butcher meat
Going through woods on day 2… Arthur secretly takes the group past worg riders and orcs
-1 day ration; warm camp; ratings attack (rainbow lightning shit = spell scared)
-2 days rations/travel 2 days; orcs come to talk and say they were hired to get priest and bring him back to old watch tower in Neverwinter. We don’t treat with them, we attack them (I lead them with my phrase!); find the letter ordering them to capture Father Morgan, path expected, appearance; signed “Bartlett”
+ half day = success!
+1 LEVEL = 2
+1 day, encampment with pallisade and 100 leonine = Day 4
+1 INSPIRE

tall grasses, 8′ high – traverse one side to other, do not get caught by hunters
——————–
= results may vary; 3 out of 4
obstacle – rope, climb, pits, traps
——————–
= arabus flies w/Earl; other 3 get bless – success!!!
shelter the storm (shamans involved) – fog and rainstorm from shaman
——————–
mold earth = mound + trench under a tree; enhance with gathered wood and trenching
???
——————–
Nolan, the clan leader comes out and says “clan must fight”
– I cast Command once to balance out their cheating; I’m held, game ends.
Nolan says we cheated, I say he cheated first. 25% of Leonine are on my side. They heal vindaloo, I heal Nolan and tell him its not personal, just balanced – my perspective.
He accepts us and our gods and says we can help them!
Vindaloo asks about wrestling, then charges him and tackles! Nolan waves off guards as he is tackled!
FEAST! Tyr prayer, restock healer kit
Want to make peace with the local “many arrows” orc tribe, been there 200 years.
Needs PC help. Find an artifact valuable to the orcs. there will be Undead
– ask Shamans for healing herbs and stuff
4 spells worth of max effect, or +1 save/dc
holy water
healing (+1 HD recovery; stabilize @1 not 0; 7 charges)
2 DAYS to get there…
I got a bad feeling about this. San check each night or 1 level exhaust = master blaster fails night 1
Spookier, darker, oppressive.
Undead owlbear attacks us
(+1 INSPIRATION for adventure log)
cartographer gives Lucas a copy of the map, is going back to Tyr Temple!
heading where the fort used to be on the side of a cliff face to get a enchanted shield as a peace offering to the orcs.
– full day in dark woods and make camp; mold earth shapes campsite; Lucas+Rocky drag marks took away
– I get us lost, but master blaster corrects me; find a boot of Lucas w/cobweb/mesh

climb up, sink holes, go in through top, ignore cliff face
– 3 bodies of lamp lighter mercenaries
build a barricade
go towards cliff face direction; locked door
next room is temple with raised altar, el douche goes to defame the altar of its weakness; find magic ring
Exploring; 2 spiders, 3 carrion crawlers
find the cocooned bodies of comrades, side passage el Douch finds the scale mail, arrows, and shield = all magic
El Douche (pees on shield) gives his brother a black eye for falling asleep on the job or something like that
