6:30pm  2015-3-20 chris107 Has entered the room
chris107: Evening Simon
Smon: Hi Chris 
chris107: Let's see if I can survive 2 sessions! 
Smon: Good luck!
chris107: Probably need it. I really like the quick and brutal combat.
Smon: Guess I'll start once I have 2 players.
chris107: Is Graham lurking in the lounge?
Smon: Most PC classes would not have survived that duel - Fighter maybe.
Smon: nope
Smon: Online Users chris107, Smon, morikahn, prespos, saunatonttu, vondan
chris107: Hakeem has to remain fearless otherwise the whole character concept falls apart.
chris107: Mmmm not like graham to be tardy.
Smon: Hakeem - it's cool  but I recommend Raging early & often!
Smon: & then demand a nice long rest when Raged-out.
chris107: Yeah, I figured that after the Orc hit me.
Smon: Call it "Rage Quit" 
chris107: I was expecting the usual 1d8 HD Orc 
Smon: Wait till you meet the goblins... 
chris107: And came within one number of loosing my first 5e character
chris107: if the Orc had rolled a 10 rather than a 9 to hit...
Smon: Just about everything is on steroids except hyenas, who got horribly & implausibly nerfed to 1d8 - I think they confused hyenas with jackals - - I think I'll use the 5e wolf stats for hyenas.
chris107: Wolves 
chris107: Not sure how hakeem should play it with wolves.
chris107: As brothers or ... something else?
Smon: 5e wolves have loads of hp & massive damage while hyenas have 1d8 & little-dog bites :/
Smon: Graham was late for his own funeral in Runelords so I'm not surprised he's not here. 
Smon: Brothers to start with, if they have other ideas then whack 'em 
chris107: 
chris107: I'm looking forward to trying the 5 e
chris107: Where my new house is in Bath there's a stack of stuff going on (and Bristol)
Smon: Looking over the npc stats, looks like by default competent npcs get 2 hit dice, eg typical orcs are 2d8, even novice priest gets 2d8 with his 1st level spellcasting.
chris107: That could mean a very short life for a hot headed barbarian 
Smon: Commoners get 1d8, but nobles get 2d8.
chris107: They will all fall beneath the sword.
Smon: Well you average 12 dmg while raging. If you can get to 3rd you can go Berserk for extra attacks.
chris107: Any ideas on what I should aim for to become a sword knight? Or shall I just make it up as i go along?
Smon: You have to be accepted as a Sword Knight by your peers. We had a PC made a Sword Knight in my 4e Wilderlands game prior to his glorious death against a thousand ghouls led by a 15th level Necromancer. 
chris107: Ah. Maybe some time then? 
Smon: That was on the other side of the mountains from you. 
Smon: Generally, great acts of heroism, killing dragons & such is good.  
chris107: Nice to see Athers back playing.
Smon: yup
chris107: I remember his dwarf from our old wilder lands game.
Smon: Usually around 5th-6th level you might be making enough of a name for yourself to be considered for knighting.
6:49pm  2015-3-20 Amalric Has entered the room
Smon: Hi G 
Amalric: evening!
chris107: That's cool. It should be a long term goal.
chris107: Hey Graham! 
Amalric: hey chris!
Amalric: how are we all doing?
Smon: Chris's PC Hakeem have entered the catacombs of the Shrine of St Ulther.
chris107: We are on the scent of some Goblin tomb raiders. Lances' ex Jana turned up 
Smon: Jana is back in her home village after her year & a day of exile and some interdimensional transportation. 
Amalric: yes i read the updated thread 
Smon: She's actually in charge right now while her brother's away.
Smon: cool
chris107: We are currently exploring an East bound passageway 
Amalric: she never learns, does she?
chris107: Which reeks of goblins
Smon: Graham, I was thinking your PC might have 'liberated' the black pearl necklace of Lady Aeschela of Bratanis, and looking for a place to stash it safely comes across the ruined shrine on the cliffs overlooking the ocean...
Amalric: sounds like Rey!
Smon: Amidst the ruins he finds a spiral staircase leading down into darkness, and sneaks downwards...
Smon: /roll 1d20+7
Smon rolls 1d20+7 and gets: 17, (+7) = 24 
Smon: Very effectively B)
Amalric: did Rey meet Lady A in person?
Smon: (I'm thinking Rey would likely have met and flirted with the Lady, getting close enough to lift the necklace)
Amalric: is he a hunted man, or has he pulled it off?
Smon: He's currently 'out for a stroll', unsure if his theft was detected, hence hiding necklace
Smon: You're about 12 miles from Bratanis through the hills, having left at first light.
Amalric: doing the noble thing of walking along the cliffs, taking in the air and the sights...
chris107: ....
Amalric: more of a hike than a stroll, but w/e
Smon: @Hakeem - approaching the T-junction, you detect daylight from the left.
Amalric: okay, down the stairs and into the company of...?
Smon: /roll 1d20+1
Smon rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 5, (+1) = 6 
chris107: Hakeem moves forward on wolf like paws to sniff and investigate.
Smon: /roll 1d20+1
Smon rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 10, (+1) = 11 
Smon: As Rey sneaks down the stairs, he sees they open out through a 10' landing into a chamber of worked stone - suddenly he hears guttural, high pitched muttering from the chamber and detects a faint glimmer of lamplight.
Smon: Hakeem moves left down the passage, Bjornalf behind him with the torch and Tor guarding the rear. After 10' the tunnel ends in an archway leading into a square chamber almost 30' across, the light coming from an archway in the nw corner
Amalric: he hangs back in the shadows
Smon: Hakeem reaches the arch in the n-e corner of the large chamber. The stench is stronger here.
chris107: nw or ne?
Smon: As well as the daylit exit in the nw corner there is a third exit in the w end of the s wall.
Smon: Hakeem is at n-e corner, a wall running along the north side of the chamber just to his right.
Smon: The floor is uneven, with puddles of what might be water.
chris107: Ny map is rubbish then 
Amalric: is the lamplight Rey sees moving, or fixed?
Smon: Rey at the bottom of his stairwell sneaks to the nw corner of the same chamber. He can see a large barbaric figure silhouetted in lantern light standing just back from the ne exit, greatsword ready.
chris107: Started new map for this area
Smon: Waiting to ambush the barbarian when he enters the chamber, hidden by the wall just to his left, are two evil-looking yellow-skinned goblins, about 4' tall.
chris107: A geat white toothy smile on his face as he recognises another ougue 
Smon: They seem unaware of Rey.
Smon: Hakeem hasn't spotted Rey, who has no light.
chris107: He hates been ambushed!
chris107: And gets very cross. Attacking both in a rage!
Smon: What's Rey doing?
Amalric: can Rey sneak attack?
Amalric: if so he will
Smon: yup
Amalric: any sneak rolls, or just d20?
Smon: You have Advantage as they don't know you're there - throw dagger, roll twice & take best result.
Amalric rolls 2d20 and gets: 14, 3, = 17 
Smon: 14+5=19, hit
Amalric: sure the 14 hits
Smon: dam is 1d4+3+1d6
Smon: roll
Smon: or I can...
Smon: /roll 1d4+3+1d6
Amalric rolls 1d4+3 and gets: 1, (+3) = 4 
Smon rolls 1d4+3 and gets: 4, (+3) = 7 
Smon: 4 so far
Amalric: damn, your roll was way better!
Smon: 
chris107: Hehe! take Simons roll
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 4,
Smon: 8 dmg, lucky it had 7 hp... Rey's dagger takes a goblin in the chest, it jerks and drops like a stone.
chris107: Darn I shouldn't have raged 
Smon: The second goblin looks around wildly. Hakeem hears the noise from just to his left, past the archway.
Smon: If you hadn't raged you'd be dead.
chris107: Has he seen the gobbo's
Smon: Does Hakeem enter the chamber?
chris107: ?
chris107: Oh yeah. He's on the hunt for more skulls
Smon: Hakeem bursts into the chamber as the surviving goblin looks around for who killed its friend. It shrieks in mingled anger and terror.
Smon: init - suggest you both roll, d20+3 Rey, d20+2 Hakeem
chris107: Hakeem hacks it down
chris107 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 8, (+2) = 10 
Smon: /roll 1d20+2
Smon rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 1, (+2) = 3 
Smon: ok Hakeem can strike!
Smon: d20+5 to hit
chris107 rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 4, (+5) = 9 
chris107: 
Amalric rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 18, (+3) = 21 
Smon: The goblin ducks Hakeem's massive blade.
Smon: Rey has time to throw a dagger, or move in with Rapier.
Amalric: dagger
Amalric: does he get the +1d6 bonus this time too?
Smon: ok, can sneak attack again as it's distracted by Hakeem
Smon: yup, per RAW 
Amalric: RAW?
Amalric rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 18, (+5) = 23 
Smon: Rules As Written - can SA targets adjacent to your allies 
Amalric: ah, sneak attack bonus
Smon: Dagger thunks into goblin back...
Amalric: and I don't know 5E at all, so will rely on you for most everything
Amalric rolls 1d4+3 and gets: 2, (+3) = 5 
Amalric rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
chris107: Nor do I Graham 
Smon: needed 2+ on that d6 
chris107: Just keep rolling high!
Amalric: figures
chris107: Hakeem will slice again
Amalric: it's okay, missile attack, it will attack the big guy 
Smon: The wounded goblin shrieks, but still stands. It aims a morningstar blow at Hakeem's knee.
Smon: /roll 1d20+4
Smon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 2, (+4) = 6 
chris107: he leaps aside like a panther!
Smon: misses, then (using goblin Nimble Escape power!) flees to the SW exit, shrieking loudly.
chris107: And raises his great blade to smash the little devil to death!
Smon: It flees out of the chamber as Bjornalf & Tor burst in behind Hakeem.
chris107: Hakeem gives chase. 30'/round
Smon: (normally you'd get a free attack on enemy fleeing, but not vs goblins)
chris107: (Cool)
Amalric: the cads!
Amalric: (nimble escape? wow)
Smon: Rey sees more men burst in behind the loincloth-clad barbarian, who chases the goblin out of the room.
Smon: What's Rey doing?
Amalric: wondering if they're with the barbarian
Smon: Hakeem sprints after the goblin through the sw exit. It's running down a tunnel that goes 10' s then turns w. 
Smon: Hakeem catches it as it reaches the turn, and can strike...
Smon: (attack)
Amalric: Rey retrieves his dagger from the fallen goblin, wondering how he's going to get his other dagger back
chris107: HE CONTINhe continues to persue
Amalric: Rey follows
Smon: Tor, a dwarf, and Bjornalf, a handsome Norseman, regard Rey as he emerges from the shadows and plucks his dagger from the dead goblin.
Smon: Hakeem can attack
Smon: Or you want to just chase it?
chris107 rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 14, (+5) = 19 
Smon: *splat*
chris107 rolls 2d6+3 and gets: 4, 1, (+3) = 8 
Smon: Hakeem spits the runt on the end of his mighty blade.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 1,
chris107: Any sound/sight of any of the wretched things chums ahead?
Smon: Hakeem stands over the corpse - just as he feared, he hears the chittering of more goblins in the darkness ahead.
Smon: They must have heard the battle.
chris107: Excellent!
Smon: Tor: "They're coming!"
chris107: Now he prepares to RAGE HARD!
Smon: He hefts his axe.
chris107: (2/day yes?)
Smon: It sounds as if the enemy approach in numbers, but perhaps here in the narrow tunnel one man can make a stand...
Amalric: Rey goes to see what all the fuss is about, but hangs back
chris107: And I know just the man 
chris107: I man + big sword + bad attitude 
Smon: Hakeem is currently in a L shape bend, tunnel goes w and n, n back into the big chamber.
chris107:  
Smon: Tor comes up behind him so that the light casts his long shadow down the tunnel, at the approaching horde of foul ab-humans...
chris107: He will find a place wide enough to use his blade and narrow enough to face one gob at a time if he can
Smon: Yup, the junction is good for that. 
chris107: "Bondor!"
chris107: HACK, SLASH, MAIN 
chris107: MAIM
chris107: FUME!
Smon: Hakeem counts four red-eyed, big-nosed goblins wielding scimitars and morningstars, behind them the tall gangly form of an orange-skinned hob-goblin, more beast than man...
Smon: As they approach, Hakeem's longer blade gives him first strike...
Smon: roll to hit
chris107: "Haha! Come meet your doom!"
chris107: He attacks with RAGE!
chris107 rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 16, (+5) = 21 
Smon: hit
chris107 rolls 2d6+5 and gets: 4, 5, (+5) = 14 
Smon: Hakeem's sword cuts clean through the lead goblin - and the one behind. 
chris107: 
Smon: The third goblin launches a blow at his throat...
chris107: Splat!
chris107: High fantasy indeed!
Smon: /roll 1d20+4
Smon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 7, (+4) = 11 
Smon: Hakeem parries
Smon: your go
Amalric: any room for a dagger throw behind all these burly fellows?
chris107: He spirals like a dancer away from the clumsy blow
chris107 rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 13, (+3) = 16 
chris107: oops +5
chris107 rolls 2d6+5 and gets: 5, 3, (+5) = 13 
Smon: (Rey - not unless Hakeem falls back)
Amalric: (no probs)
Smon: Hakeem cuts down the third goblin.
Smon: The last goblin is shoved forward by the hobgoblin behind
Smon: /roll 1d20+4

chris107: Grrrr!
Smon: /roll 1d6+2
Smon rolls 1d6+2 and gets: 6, (+2) = 8 
Smon: Hakeem takes 4 dmg, a red cut
chris107: 11/15HP
chris107: That makes him very cross!
Smon: The enemy force him back, giving the hobgoblin space to get into position, but now Rey can attack too
Smon: Hakeem & Rey both attack, then enemy
chris107: GYeah!
chris107: At the hobgob
chris107 rolls 1d20+5 and gets: 11, (+5) = 16 
Smon: hit!
chris107 rolls 2d6+5 and gets: 6, 3, (+5) = 14 
Smon: *Crunch* he cuts the brute down
Smon: Rey throwing dagger?

Smon: /roll 1d20+7

Smon: hit
Amalric rolls 1d4+3 and gets: 4, (+3) = 7 
chris107: ;0
chris107: 
Smon: The dagger takes the last goblin in the flank, it sighs and falls to the ground, blade clattering.
Smon: Hakeem is feeling quite tired now. 
chris107: Hakeem looks around for more foes
chris107: but seeing only the charming rogue he beams a broad smile.
chris107: "Thank you stranger."
Smon: Quiet falls.
chris107: He wipes his sword clean.
Amalric: "You are welcome, sir. Goblins are awful creatures, so...undignified."
Amalric: "Who are you people? You rather BIG people?"
chris107: "Best check these fellows for Ale money?" He suggests 
Smon: Tor nods. "I'll get the one back there..." 
chris107: "I am Wolf." He holds out a meaty paw.
Smon: Searching the seven corpses, you find numerous silver-gold coins - electrum!
Smon: /roll 14d6
Smon rolls 14d6 and gets: 3, 6, 5, 6, 2, 5, 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 2, 1, 1, = 43 
chris107: Yeah! Party!
Smon: 43 ep in all.
Smon: Tor: "A king's ransom!"
Amalric: "Wolf? How...original."
Amalric: Rey retrieves all his daggers
chris107: "You have something funny to say stranger?"
Amalric: "Sir Reynard Mercelin, at your service. Seemed dashed bad form to let those first goblins have a free shot at you, what? Dashed bad form. So I intervened."
chris107: Hakeem looks somewhat placated.
Amalric: "Quite a bashing you gave those chappies, what?"
chris107: "We have many more of these creatures to slay but I suggest we retire topside and draw up plans?"
Amalric: "Of course! Let me lead the way, I just came down those stairs after all..."
Smon: Bjornalf nods. "Aye."
chris107: "We have a fellow, twiglet I think he's called who can heal these tiny scratches."
chris107: Hakeem is happy to let this rogue show us the way out.
Smon: GM: You head up the spiral staircase, out into the clean daylight. The noonday sun beats down on the crumbling ruins of the Saint's ancient shrine. To the south a couple miles off is the glimmering blue ocean, and the tall spire of Oriax's lighthouse tower.
Amalric: "Twiglet? I knew a girl with that name, once. Pretty thing, stick-thin though..."
chris107: "Ah, give me a fine warrior woman with CURVES every time!"
Smon: You are atop the cliffs that drop away to south east and west, the Ghinarian Hills rise to the north. 4 miles off to the NW is a ridgeline that gave Rey quite a workout this morning.
chris107: Does our unwilling priestliness wait for us?
chris107: Bloody MAC! keeps changing what I type!
Smon: Looking over the clifftop you see the youth Pollyakkus waiting at the base of the cliff. A narrow trail winds down the cliffside.
Smon: He spots you, waves, and starts up the trail towards you.
chris107: "Hey Pollyakkus! "
Smon: Rey, you see the gangly acned youth in white initiates' robes, a young Mitra priest it looks like.
chris107: "Thats twiglet." Says Hakeem to the new comer.
Smon: Pollyakkus reaches the top, looks relieved to see you alive. 
chris107: "Can you heal these scratches?"
Smon: He nods nervously to Rey, then turns to Hakeem. "I can heal it, yes."
Smon: He gingerly moves forward, hand open.
chris107: He shows twiglet the huge goblin inflicted wound
Amalric: "Well met, young sir," offers Rey
chris107: "You have my thanks Pollyakkus. Know you have the friendship of Hakeem Wolf Brother."
Smon: Pollyakkus touches the wound, closing his eyes in prayer.
Smon: /roll d8+2
Smon rolls 1d8+2 and gets: 6, (+2) = 8 
Smon: The wound closes, Hakeem full hp. 
chris107: 15/15HP 
chris107: (Hey I may survive two whole sessions at this rate!)
Smon: Pollyakkus turns to Rey. "Well met sir, I am Pollyakkus, priest of Selatine. I serve the Vexes."
Amalric: Pollyakus? Hakeem? Who are these double-named people, ponders Rey
chris107: 2 mins guys brb
Smon: Hakeem is feeling a strange strength, such as he has never known...
Amalric: "And I am Sir Reynard Mercellin. I serve...philanthropy."
Smon: HAKEEM LEVEL UP 
Smon: (Hakeem 350 XP, Rey 200 XP)
Amalric: what do we level up at?
chris107: back
Smon: Pollyakkus nods. "I know your name, sir - the diplomatic envoy of Lord Vilius of Theber? I heard you were on a mission to persuade Lady Aeschela to join in Alliance..." He seems to know a lot.
chris107: Level up?! 
Smon: (level at 300, 900, 2700)
Smon: Pollyakkus turns to Hakeem, clealy preparing to expound.
chris107: Hakeem hasn't got the foggiest. He just want to kill stuff.
Amalric: "Ah yes, you appear very well informed, I must say."
Smon: Polly: "Lord Vilius of Theber seeks to create a united front against Warlord Yusan. My liege Lord Hytirus Vex concurs, but Lady Aeschela of Bratanis fears to openly oppose the tyrant. My liege suggested that Vilius send his most silver-tongued servant, the renowned Lord Reynard of Antil as I recall..."
chris107: Hakeem goes for a snooze
Amalric: "Lord Vex is a wise man indeed, to have such a sharp feelow as yourself in his retinue."
Smon: (Rey vaguely recalls something about getting Aeschela to conjoin in alliance... well it sort of went that way...)
Amalric: "I have....some work to do with the Lady, as yet. Though it may have to wait..."
Amalric: (conjoin, yes. alliance? whatever...)
chris107: 
Smon: Pollyakkus blushes and grins happily at the praise from 'Lord' Reynard Mercellin.
Amalric: (I'll try and remember all that, may have to record it somewhere!)
8:05pm  2015-3-20 vondan Has entered the room
Smon: hi V
chris107: Hi Dan
vondan: hey kids getting ready to lay

Amalric: LOL, watch what you do with your kids, Dan 
Smon: Hakeem level-up: +10 hp, can now make Reckless Attacks.
chris107: Yeah!

chris107: What do reckless attacks do?
Smon: I'll update his sheet.

chris107: (So can heal 2/day?)
Smon: (You can spend as many as necessary after a short rest, assuming you tend wounds etc)
chris107: (Cool  )

chris107: Yeah!
chris107: I'll go buy the 5e PHB sometime next week when I'm in town.
Smon: (I'm still learning myself, the healing is a bit odd but I'm getting used to it)
Amalric: "Shall we? Lets, I say!"
vondan: OMG (Gygax) your playing 5e in this chat 
chris107: Hakeem is pleased at his new chums enthusiasm.
Amalric: desperate times, Dan
chris107: "Would you like to scout?"
chris107: 2d6+3 damage Dan 
chris107: And the Caverns of Thracia awaiting us! 
chris107: The combat is fast, brutal and fun.
Smon: OOC I PM'd Steve to get permission, he said it was fine but warned me there might be hysterics. 
Amalric: "I...ah..." *cough* "...of course."
chris107: Let 'em have their histrionics. I been playing since '76. If I want to try something new. I think I'm entitled to?
Smon: Pollyakkus: "I'm going down to the foot of the cliff - don't want to be stuck out here if monsters come outside..." He starts back down the path.

Smon: Polly: "You too, sir."
chris107: "Come little rogue. Lets go do war upon these Goblins."
Smon: GM: Hakeem and Rey head back down the spiral stairs, Bjornalf & Tor following with the lantern.
Smon: Are you following the tunnel the goblin horde came from?
Amalric: "Dirty job, but someone has to do it, one supposes..."
chris107: Hakeem grins an unpleasant grin and polishes his great blade.
Amalric: yes?

Amalric: so...

Amalric: tries the handle
chris107: Low is bad right?
Smon: The door has a lock, it's locked.
Smon: yup
Smon: INT check fail - you didn't realise door was locked until you tried it. If it had been trapped you would have been zapped. 
chris107: ZAPP!

chris107: You first Graham?

Smon: The simple lock gives way at your caress. 
Amalric: heh, just
Smon: Easing the door open, you see a dark passage beyond, and hear guttural snoring.
chris107: Chastity belt practice Graham? 
Amalric: they usually do these...oh wait, confusing locks with women
Amalric: Rey has had much practice
Amalric: he's not Lance 2.0, because he pretends to have SOME class
chris107: deeper pitch than the orc/hobgob?
Smon: A passage runs north 15' and opens into a bedchamber, there is a central table with a strongbox beneath it, and to the left a bed, an enormously fat hobgoblin lies on it, fast asleep and snoring.
chris107: Hakeem is tempted to just rush in and gob whatever is inside.
chris107: Hakeem charges and skates at the sleeping form

chris107: 
Smon: Rey can get 3 more rolls by my count BTW (2 atts, each w advtg)
Smon: However this proves unnecessary, as Hakeem cleaves the brute's head from its shoulders in one mighty blow. 
chris107: Yeah! 
chris107: Go Hakeem 
Amalric: nice chris!
Smon: (the 5e fighting is very Conan the Barbarian esp with a Barbarian PC) 
chris107: Strong box awaits my friend.
chris107: I love it 
Smon: can you get the money in the remaining 6 minutes of this session?

Amalric: locked box?
Smon: Under the table.
Amalric: detect traps
Amalric rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 17, (+1) = 18

Amalric: haha! nice
chris107: Hakeem searches the fat Hobgob while his chum does th box. Looks for weapons and takes his fancy iron shirt too.
Smon: Extracting the key?
Amalric: yes
Smon: The fat hobgoblin had a well made shield to the side of the bed, and was cradling a broadsword.
chris107: Take all to inspect/share later
Smon: (Chain mail would give Hakeem AC 16 but disadvantage on Stealth checks)
Smon: ok
Smon: Trying the lock?
Amalric: can take the mail and sell it
chris107: Hakeem does not wear armour! he's a proper loin-cloth barbarian 
Smon: 
Amalric: with they key, yes
Smon: The lock clicks open. The chest lid opens with a creak, revealing piles and piles of gleaming electrum pieces - there must be a thousand coins in there!
chris107: Yeah! 
Amalric: 
Amalric: lets take the box. anything underneath it?
Smon: Now you can buy a small plot of land and retire...
Smon: Just stone flagstones.
chris107: Yes let's take the box
Amalric: sounds like a plan! Rey might return that necklace...
chris107: Hakeem will booze and whore that away in a week!
Smon: The loaded box is pretty heavy, around 25 lb weight, Hakeem can pick it up ok.
vondan: he can buy hats and soup like conan
chris107: He can Dan 
Smon: I'm using the ale & whores rule - spend 250gp, get 250xp.:)
chris107: And he will Simon 
chris107: Great start! Hakeem is no caspian Deverin but he's getting there! 
Amalric: sounds like a better plan than retirement... 
Smon: But I expect a colourful account of how you waste your money. 
chris107: It sure does!
chris107: Hakeem fancies a bash at the Paladin bird.
chris107: Hence making him CG.
Smon: GM: OK, let's end there as the victorious heroes depart the halls of the hobgoblin 'king' with their newfound wealth...
Amalric: nice
Smon: Pretty sure Rey is 2nd level too now.
chris107: Great place to end 
Smon: have to work it out.
Amalric: well he was on 200 already...before the second incursion
Amalric: so all that loot
Amalric: plus kills
chris107: Next session a week from now? AM + PM?
Amalric: sure there was a +5 rapier under all those coins too 
Smon: Yes, will do that. PM prob need to start later, 7pm.
