7:28am 2015-4-01 Smon Has entered the room
7:42am 2015-4-01 chris107 Has entered the room
chris107: Morning Simon @)
Smon: hi C
chris107:
chris107: Fingers not quite awake yet.
Smon: So I ran Wilderlands for Graham & Mark last night
chris107: Cool, how did they get on?
Smon: & seem to have somehow wrenched my shoulder doing it - dangerous things, keyboards!
Smon: Did very well, fighting the risen dead in the Crypt of St Ulther
chris107: The wretched Woman who is buying Eton from me has me run wragged at the moment
chris107: Sounds exciting!
Smon: Kills: 2 goblins, a giant ferret, a skeleton, and an armoured zombie critter which had a +1 dagger in its chest
chris107: What character is Mark playing?
Smon: They ran from the rest of the Skeleton Horde, very wisely.
chris107: Very nice indeed
chris107: Running is always an option
Smon: Another Altanian Barbarian, Kradis, who has the hots for Innkeeper Aldo's wife Serani.
Smon: brb coffee
chris107: good idea
Smon: yum coffee
Smon: Ken may be playing, I've converting a Wizard PC he did for 1e to 5e.
Smon: http://smons.blogspot.co.uk/ - Wizards are a bit complicated though.
chris107: More doggies!
Smon: yup Not as big.
chris107: Gosh, yes. It does look a bit complex.
chris107: I'll just stick to hitting stuff
Smon: I like it that Barbs are probably the simplest class, rather than Fighters.
chris107: Thinking is hard work
Smon: But definitely not underpowered, the 1/2 damage while raging is powerful.
chris107: And very few things can't be sorted out using a BIG sword.
Smon: At 3rd level you can either follow the Path of the Wolf - granting advantage to adjacent allies - or berserker, which seems more sword knighty.
chris107: Yes. Agin large powerful creatures it will give him a great edge.
Smon: Berserker lets you take an extra bonus action attack 1/r while raging, but you are tired afterwards.
chris107: Berserker does sound pretty good
Smon: It's pretty awesome but at high level you could actually kill yourself through too much exertion.
chris107: Cripes!
chris107: Best get his constitution up to 20 as soon as poss then.
Smon: Exhaustion has 6 levels, you get 1 each time you Berserk, you only recover 1 level per overnight rest.
Smon: Level 1 gives disadvantage on ability checks (not attacks & saves)
Smon: Level 2 halves your speed.
Smon: Level 3 gives disadvantage on attacks & saves
Smon: It just gets worse from there.
chris107:
chris107: So you really don't want to go berserk more than once a day.
Smon: Yes, 2 in extremis.
chris107: Is the duration of the disability 1 day?
Smon: You recover 1 level per overnight rest.
Smon: So 3 > 2, 2>1, 1>ok
chris107: So for the entire rest of the adventring day and the night that follows, you're pretty well buggered?
Smon: yes
chris107: Mmmm may have to rethink bersserking..
Smon: You want to be resting up somewhere nice with a cosy wench or 3 afterwards.
chris107: Do Barbs get multiple attacks at higher level anyway?
Smon: Yes, at 5th get 2 attacks.
chris107: It's a hard life been a barbarian
Smon: Only fighters get more than 2.
chris107: Is Athers playing today too?
Smon: If you want you can choose Berserker for now & I'll let you swap it out if you don't like it?
Smon: If you live to 3rd level
Smon: atherton should be here, yup
chris107: I was just about to say that
Smon: don't wanna jinx you, only 100xp off
chris107: I'll grab another coffee then. Hope he's here by the time it's done.
chris107: Yeah 100XP!
Smon: just pm'd ath. We can start w/out him if necessary & I'll NPC him as necessary.
Smon: After your battle with the gnolls did you want to rest & tend your wounds?
chris107: okay, cool
Smon: Max the dog at 5/11, Hakeem 21/25, Tor 12/28
chris107: I think I'm okay. Only 22/25
chris107: ah 21/25
Smon: You could spend a healing die, your choice.
chris107: But I think it would be wise for Max and Tor to.
Smon: Max licks his wound:
8:12am 2015-4-01 atherton Has entered the room
chris107: I get a d12+ some 2/day right?
Smon: Hi ath!
atherton: hi fella's
chris107: Athers!
Smon: d12+3 2/day yup, recover 1 per day
atherton: just walked in the door
Smon: Your PCs are taking a short rest to bind wounds after killing the gnolls.
atherton: ok, so we have some sort of super duper healing feats?
Smon: Max the dog licks his wound:
Smon: /roll 1d8+1
Smon rolls 1d8+1 and gets: 44, (+1) = 5
chris107: I'll risk waiting until after the next fight to heal.
Smon: Max at 10/11
Smon: Tor catches his breath (Second Wind) free recovery of d10+3 if you'd like to roll.
Smon: (Fighter power)
atherton: probably a seasenible idea Chris, Tor will wait too
chris107: I think Tor has lost a lot more than Hakeem...
atherton: I'm going to conceal my shield somewhere in the ruins
atherton: then we'll light some torches
Smon: Tor can also spend healing dice during rest, has 3 currently, each restores d10+2
Smon: I can do Tor rolls
Smon: Second Wind:
Smon: /roll 1d10+3
Smon rolls 1d10+3 and gets: 55, (+3) = 8
atherton: ok, so up to 20 hp now
Smon: 8 back, at 20/28
Smon: Spending 1 healing die:
Smon: /roll 1d10+2
Smon rolls 1d10+2 and gets: 77, (+2) = 9
Smon: Tor back to full hp
atherton: we'll light two torches andventure down the stairs
Smon: So Max at 10/11, Aya 9/9, Tor 28/28, Hakeem 21/25
chris107: Once Hakeem's path is illuminated he is eager to go kill more stuff.
atherton: Hakeem can carry the other torch if he does have a shield
Smon: OK, you light two torches, Tor conceals his shield in the bushes.
chris107: Hakeem's sword is two handed Athers
atherton: ok it will have to Aya
Smon: Tor can see in the dark BTW. Aya can take a torch but would need to drop it to reload sling.
atherton: unless we throw one torch to the ground if attacked
Smon: She can carry sling loaded, though.
atherton: Aya then
chris107: That sounds good.
atherton: she'll just have to drop the torch when we're attacked
chris107: IF
atherton: anyway I'll head down the stairs in advance of the others
Smon: GM: OK, you proceed cautiously down the broad steps into a great entry hall reeking of guano.
Smon: Hundreds of bats nestle in the rafters above.
atherton: we'll move quietly so as not to disturb them
Smon: The walls are covered in faded frescoes of elaborate ceremonies depicting burning calves and other sacrifices.
atherton: I assume they're normal looking bats?
Smon: Richly garbed Thracians are shown bowing in supplication to regally robed deities.
Smon: The bats look normal-sized, about 4".
atherton: ok, no worries, we'll continue on, just being quiet
chris107: Hakeem looks closely at the pretty pictures of ladies. Touching any finery to see if it comes off.
Smon: There is about 6" of guano on the marble floor. There are 3 exits, to e w and n, you came down steps from the s.
Smon: Hakeem touches a fresco of Athena, she remains clothed.
chris107: He looks somewhat crestfallen.
chris107: North?
Smon: Tracks crisscross the chamber to the north and east exits, none to the west.
atherton: ok I guess we examine each of the 3 exits first
atherton: I'll go west
chris107: Big Gnoll like paw prints?
Smon: You move quietly so as to not disturb the bats.
atherton: leave Hakeem and Aya at the bottom of the stairs
atherton: I'll give them a hand signal to stay put
Smon: Tor crosses the slippery floor to the west exit, sees a passage that dead-ends after 30'.
chris107: Hakeem is never left anywhere. He's a man of action.
Smon: /roll 1d20+3
Smon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 44, (+3) = 7
Smon: Could be gnoll prints, hard to tell.
atherton: I'll tap the end of the tunnel
atherton: to see if there is a secret door
Smon: Does Hakeem follow Tor down the w tunnel?
chris107: Hakeem guards the dwarves rear. Keeping an eye on the other passagways.
Smon: ok, Aya & Max also cross the chamber to the w exit, but wait there w Hakeem.
Smon: Tor checks the end of the w tunnel.
Smon: /roll 1d20+3
Smon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 1414, (+3) = 17
Smon: Hmm... no secret doors you think, but your dwarven stonecunning tells you there is only about 5' of solid stone past the tunnel end, then a void.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 55,
Smon: All is quiet.
atherton: "chamber on the other side Hakeem, but we have no tunneling tools"
atherton: "let us go north instead"
chris107: Hakeem nods.
atherton: we head back to the stairs and then north
Smon: GM: The north arch leads through into a broad processional avenue lined with pillars that runs 50' or so, then narrows and continues on beyond your torchlight.
chris107: And to the East?
Smon: On the west side just before it narrows to the north, a rift has breached the west wall, the floor chasm extending 15' into the hallway.
atherton: we advance down the avenue, briefly pausing at each pillar
atherton: in case someoen or something lurks in the shadow of the pillars
Smon: East from the entry hall a 10' tunnel runs east 30' then turns north.
Smon: Tor enters the processional hall.
Smon: The columns are veined red and white marble.
chris107: Thanks. Hakeem hurries to catch up with the speedy dwarf
atherton: "this looks important Hakeem, maybe a temple lies beyond"
Smon: Hundreds more bats nestle at the ceiling, and the floor here is covered in guano too.
Smon: You see nothing behind the pillars.
Smon: The stench is acrid.
chris107: Still with paw/foot prints in it?
Smon: yes.
atherton: "by the way Hakeem, if you fall on the floor, I'm not picking you up"
Smon: /roll 1d20+3
Smon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 1717, (+3) = 20
chris107: Hakeem grins
atherton: we'll stop at the crevasse
atherton: how wide is it?
Smon: Two recent pairs of tracks lead north through the processional. Not gnolls - something bipedal but claw-footed.
chris107: Mmmmmmm
Smon: Hakeem recognises the tracks - lizardmen?!
atherton: "claw footed, what do we know that is claw footed"
chris107: Bigger than gnolls?
chris107: "Lizardmen!"
atherton: "lizardmen ok, I would have guessed vulturemen myself"
Smon: Tor reaches the crevasse. It is about 5' wide where it breaches the w wall, narrowing to a point after 15'.
chris107: Hakeem peers down.
atherton: "lower me into the crevasse"
atherton: "I wish to see what lies beyond"
chris107: How deep is it?
Smon: The pillars end where the passage narrows, though still 20' wide. It runs another 30' or so, ending in a heap of rubble. Halfway down (after 15') doors are set in both e & w walls.
chris107: (Hakeem entertains thoughts of a quick push )
Smon: The crevasse extends down beyond range of your torchlight.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 22,
Smon: Still quiet.
Smon: brb 1 min
chris107: "You really want to go down there Tor?"
atherton: I'll tie a rope around my waist and hand it to Hakeem
atherton: then I back over the lip of the crevasse
chris107: Hakeem braces himself. Been carful not to be pulled in after the dwarf if he falls.
atherton: I shed my backpack and water skin
atherton: and crossbow
atherton: I'll take my axe, dagger, hammer and few iron spikes thrust through my belt
Smon: GM: Aya watches nervously as Hakeem lowers Tor down. And down...
Smon: Tor descends down some 40', nearly at the end of the rope, before the chasm opens out into a vasty chamber below.
chris107: Impressive
atherton: how far down is the floor?
atherton: and more importatnly, is there anyone or anything in the chamber
atherton: because if there is I'm planning a rapid ascent
atherton: unless they're kobolds of course
Smon: He comes to the end of the rope, still 15' above the ground. He is dangling between pillars, ahead of him to sw steps lead down into a vast rubble strewn cavern.
Smon: He is in a hewn cave about 20' across, to the ne it opens out into another vasty cavern.
Smon: Then Tor hears growls, and two angry gnolls emerge from behind the pillars, bows drawn!
atherton: any sight of life?
chris107: Yikes!
atherton: "PULL ME UP" I yell
atherton: I jerk the rope frantically
Smon: both of you roll init, you go up after the LOWEST roll
chris107: Hakeem pulls on the rope for all he's worth!
Smon: d20 rolls
Smon: gnolls roll:
chris107 rolls 1d20+2 and gets: 44, (+2) = 6
Smon: /roll 1d20+1
chris107:
Smon rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 55, (+1) = 6
Smon: Hakeem wins the tie
Smon: Tor roll d20+1
chris107: He heaves
atherton rolls 1d20 and gets: 11,
atherton: 2
chris107:
atherton: I'm pulling myeslf up
Smon: Tor was too slow yelling, the gnolls loose arrows as he ascends.
Smon: /roll 1d20+3x2
Smon Rolls 1d20+3x2 and gets:
2 (+3) = 5
17 (+3) = 20
atherton: 2nd hit
Smon: 1 pierces his leg.
Smon: /roll 1d8+1
Smon rolls 1d8+1 and gets: 33, (+1) = 4
Smon: 4 dmg, Tor is nicked as he rises up.
Smon: He disappears from sight of the gnolls.
chris107: Mmmm do we know if gnolls can see in the dark like dwarves?
Smon: Hakeem's muscles strain - Tor is not light. Make a STR check Hakeem, d20+3
atherton: so I'm back in the crevasse?
Smon: (you could Rage for Advantage, bit of a waste though)
Smon: yes
chris107 rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 77, (+3) = 10
Smon: exact pass
chris107: phew!
atherton: how far does it go each way?
atherton: nevermind
Smon: End over end Hakeem pulls the rope, pulling Tor up.
atherton: I help to pull myself up
atherton: just in case Hakeem's muscles give out
Smon: The crevasse ends at your end of it. To the SW it extends beyond your darkvision.
Smon: (Tor can see in the dark)
Smon: Tor reaches the lip of the crevasse, rejoining his companions.
chris107: Any sound of raised alarms from below?
Smon: You can hear faint howling sounds from the gnolls far below.
chris107: Not good.
atherton: I pull the arrow out with a grimace andexplain to Hakeem what I saw below
Smon: Nothing on your level.
Smon: Just a shallow cut.
chris107: Hakeem stalks off to look more closely at the two doors.
Smon: Hakeem reaches the doors. He can see the rubble now - the remnants of a great statue - Athena?
chris107: "Hope their howling doesn't bring a pack of 'em down here."
atherton: "if it does they'll have to climb to our level"
chris107: Hakeem nods.
atherton: 'the crevasse cotinues to he south west, if may be the void I detected at the end of the other tunnel"
Smon: The doors are of dark wood, still intact. A big iron handle shows corrosion on each.
chris107: Does the passage continue past the remains of the Athena statue?
atherton: I check the rubble before Hakeem opens the doors
Smon: no, the passage north ends in a circular recess, the rubble piled there.
chris107: thanks
atherton: checking for bits of gold gilding
Smon: Tor checks the rubble, lifting a lump he finds the sere face of the goddess gazing stonily up at him.
Smon: No gold though.
chris107: Hakeem listens at the doors east and west
atherton: "just marble I'm afraid Hakeem"
Smon: You could take the head and put it in the Thunderhold Museum one day.
Smon: /roll 1d6
Smon rolls 1d6 and gets: 33,
chris107: Museums are for plundering.
Smon: /roll 1d20+1x2
atherton: good idea, I hide the head again
Smon Rolls 1d20+1x2 and gets:
5 (+1) = 6
18 (+1) = 19
Smon: Nothing through the west door. You spot faint light emanating from beneath the east door.
Smon: And hear a grunt.
Smon: A sort of grunt-hiss sound.
atherton: I nod towards the east door, and aim my crossbow at the centre of the door
chris107: He readies his great blade and whispers to Tor.
atherton: I'll stand back against the west door with Aya
chris107: Hakeem takes the ancient iron handle
Smon: Aya readies her sling, Max beside her.
chris107: Looking at the hinges and jarm to see if it pulls or pushes
atherton: I have my axe at my feet ready for use
Smon: Pushes inward away from you.
chris107: And will then take the appropriat action required to open it. Standing aside to let his chums fire.
chris107: 1 min someone at the door
atherton: finger on the trigger
atherton: not pulling until I see whats on the other side
Smon: Hakeem turns the handle and opens the door, revealing a rubble-strewn chamber ca 30' deep, the far wall curved.
Smon: Across from you about 20' from Hakeem are two lizardmen, one lies prostrate against rubble while the second kneels, tending to it by torchlight.
atherton: I take aim at the kneeling lizardman but do not fire
Smon: As they spot you they turn, hissing angrily.
atherton: do they look like they're going to attack us?
atherton: if they do I'llfire, if not, I hold my fire
chris107: sorry bout that had to sign for a delivery
Smon: Both get to their feet, one looking woozy, hefting javelins and clubs.
atherton: if its a threat display, then I'll hold fire
atherton: ok fire
Smon: You shoot?
Smon: Aya whirls her sling.
Smon: You all win init vs them I'll say.
atherton: yes, looks like more than a display of aggression
atherton rolls 1d20 and gets: 22,
atherton: miss
Smon: Tor's shot goes wide.
Smon: Aya:
Smon: /roll 1d20+4
Smon rolls 1d20+4 and gets: 1313, (+4) = 17
atherton: set my crossbow down quickly and grab my axe
Smon: thunks the head of the injured one.
chris107: When his friends have fired and any javelins have come back. Hakeem will rush to combat.
Smon: /roll 1d4+2
Smon rolls 1d4+2 and gets: 33, (+2) = 5
Smon: Hakeem can charge in & attack before the lizardmen can strike.
Smon: Are you using your 2nd Rage?
chris107 rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 99, (+3) = 12
atherton: I'lll charge in after Hakeem
chris107: no rage yet.
Smon: The unwounded lizardman parries Hakeem's swing. They attack him.
chris107: AC 15
Smon: They can strike w club & stab w javelin in one go...

Smon: d8+6 dmg
Smon: He cuts it down!

Smon Rolls 1d20+4x2 and gets:

Smon: The lizardman goes down in a miasma of blood.
chris107: Yeah!
Smon: Aya rushes up to Hakeem. "You're badly wounded!"
atherton: we'll bandage Hakeem up
chris107: "Thanks guys. That was a close call!"
Smon: (That'll take an hour)
chris107: Healing dice I think
Smon: (if you want to spend healing dice. Tor has a healing potion, remember)
chris107: You guys search while Hakeem does his stuff.
chris107: 2d12+6?
Smon: You look around. The lizardmen have been here about an hour judging by their own torch - you interrupted them during their own Short Rest.
atherton: I'll close the door, barricade it
Smon: The wounded one had several small puncture marks showing discoloration - poison?
chris107 rolls 2d12+6 and gets: 66, 1010, (+6) = 22
chris107: 22/25HP
atherton: if there is wood or something, I will buttress it against the door
atherton: a snakebite?
chris107: Where on the body are the puncture wounds?
atherton: I'll explore the rest of the chamber, just in case
chris107: snake or spider I'd guess.
Smon: The rubble is the remains of several statues.
Smon: The wounds were mostly on its legs and arms.
atherton: or centipede
chris107: mmmmm yup
atherton: then I'll pile some of the rubble against the door
Smon: There is an alcove at the back of the chamber, with ornate panelling.
atherton: carefully, in case anything with fangs lurks in the rubble
Smon: /roll 1d20+3
Smon rolls 1d20+3 and gets: 1111, (+3) = 14

atherton: I'm investigating the pannelling at the back
Smon: The back panneling in the alcove appears hollow.
atherton: pull it open/aside
chris107: (That's the second time Hakeem has survived a fight with 1HP left )
Smon: If you're badly wounded again, recommend you pull out of the dungeon.
Smon: Tor fiddles with the panel until it grinds open, revealing a passage running north-south to left and right.
Smon: To your left it runs 30' n then turns e.
Smon: To your right it runs 20' s then turns w, with double doors ahead to the s where it turns w.
Smon: /roll 1d20
Smon rolls 1d20 and gets: 55,
chris107: Double doors are always fun.
Smon: The passage seems well travelled, but a few bats hang from the ceiling.
chris107: All dark and quiet?
Smon: yes.
Smon: Tor can see w his dwarfovision.
chris107: Double doors then Tor?
atherton: "lets check the other room first"
atherton: "then back through here to the double doors"
chris107: That means unblocking the doorway
Smon: You'll need to lift the rubble away, yup.
chris107: (Hakeem is not a fan of hard work)
atherton: "true, double doors it is then"
Smon: Do you reclose the panel?
atherton: I guess we do
chris107: (He much prefers carousing and killing stuff)
Smon: It slides shut.
atherton: no need to advertise our presence
Smon: Several minutes later you clear the rubble, Aya helping and Max whoofing.
atherton: ok, Hakeem can listen at the double doors
chris107: Can he?
Smon: Back in the big n-s hallway, you approach the opposite door on the w side.
atherton: "well you seem to like listening at doors Hakeem"
chris107: What do they look like?
chris107: "Only when I choose to."
Smon: >>ok, Hakeem can listen at the double doors<< careful writing stuff like that, I can take it as a PC's actions.
Smon: Are you opening the door opposite the lizardman room's door?
chris107: I think we went back to the double doors didn't we Athers?
Smon: NO
Smon: You closed the panel, cleared the rubble, went back into the big n-s hall.
atherton: we went through the paneling into the corridor
atherton: as Hakeem didn't want to clear the rubble away
Smon: ath typed >>ok, Hakeem can listen at the double doors<< which was out of context & confusing.
chris107: Lazy Barbarian
atherton: I was going to go back to the other room
atherton: but Hakeem didn't want to clear the rubble away
chris107: Well if we're back at the door opposite the lizardmen room Hakeem will listen.
Smon: /roll 1d20+1
Smon rolls 1d20+1 and gets: 22, (+1) = 3
Smon: Nothing.
atherton: doesn't matter, one or the other
chris107: He's sure what ever bit the lizard is inside so he will be at the ready.
atherton: so which door are we at?
Smon: back at the door opposite the lizardmen room
chris107: The one opposite the lizardmen room I think.
atherton: ok same procedure then
chris107: Same as before?
chris107: Sure
atherton: but I'll toss a torch into the room
atherton: after Hakeem opens the door
atherton: I have my crossbow loaded again and Aya her sling
Smon: ok, Tor and Aya ready missiles but then Tor steps forward and flings in his torch as Hakeem opens the door.
chris107: Check, push/pull, stand aside
Smon: The torch lands in the rubble amidst the crawling centipedes, that scutter away angrily.
Smon: The chamber is a mirror of the one opposite, 30' deep with curved far wall.
chris107: yuk
atherton: "centipedes, told you!" I cry trumphantly to Hakeem
Smon: Green and white streaked rubble lies around.
atherton: "do your work Aya, no need for us to get too close"
Smon: A black rock pedestal stands opposite you, now empty.
chris107: Hakeem stands to the side of the door ready to squish any that come out.
atherton: I set down my crossbow and cross to the other side of the door from Hakeem
Smon: Amidst the rubble you make out stony debris - a wing, a woman's comely face, a hand.
atherton: Aya can do her work with the sling
atherton: "don't ruin the face!"
Smon: Maybe a score of red centipedes scuttle around.
chris107: (Great dungeon dressing )
Smon: Many more centipedes are mashed and dead on the ground.
atherton: waiting for any centipedes to scurry through
Smon: The survivors were eating the dead before you disturbed them.
chris107: me too
atherton: I'll use my hammer, don't want to ruin my axe blade
Smon: & there are drops of lizardman blood.

Smon: Aya & Max are staying back.
chris107: Waiting to squish any that come out
atherton: any that come out, we'll squish them

atherton: ah well, in we go then
atherton: I'll use my hammer
chris107: Hakeem will go grab rocks from the fallen Athena statue and chuck 'em at the centipedes
Smon: Hakeem & Tor are going in?
Smon: You could just step on them
atherton: when I se Hakeem grab rocks, I copy him
atherton: I'll grab some more stones for Aya
chris107: Don't want to end up like the lizardman. Hakeem chucks rocks
Smon: You enter, centipedes scuttle towards you. You grab rocks from the floor as they attack you?
atherton: we don't enter
chris107: Hakeem grabbed rocks from around the Athena statue to the north.

chris107: What does wolf totem do again?
Smon: While Raging your friends have Advantage on attacks vs enemies w/in 5' of you.
Smon: If you have tactically savvy friends like Rey it's good. Tor maybe not so much.
chris107: Mmmmm not sure. The Berserk kind of fits but is a bit too debilitating.
Smon: Going Wolf Totem for now?
chris107: The wolfy thing not so glam but won't bugger him up after a fight.
chris107:
chris107: Can I see how it goes? Been new to the rules and all?
Smon: btw rem you can make Reckless attacks - you have advantage but grant advantage too.
Smon: Choose 1 for now, can change later.

chris107: Okay I'll choose Berserk for now
Smon: ok
chris107: See how it pans out.
