Dear players,

The Ravenous Crypts of Gluttony.

More undead battles and the realisation that the party is indeed without a mean of exiting Runeforge. I just loved it when you realised that only when Kazaven asked for a way out! smile
Not to worry about the divine link for your paladinously valourous Dagar. Unless Telas, and to some extent Valakan have a "I want a Pit Fiend too!" moment, I do not really see Kazaven actually making any deal. Like The Scribbler before him, he is intended to unleash his magic upon the party: "Finger of Death anyone?"
Good news: the party has just rested. Bad news: I have not heard anybody preparing undead specific spells to resist a decent undead encounter. Even though the context has been VERY "undeadly" for the past in-game day I would surmise.

And to put Valakan to shame, he has been cut, bitten and eaten by... a monster with NPC classes: Twelve levels of Aristocrat! Sure, the NPC got some nifty undead templates, but still. mrgreen

The damage collection was optimal though:

Low AC character.
Decent "to hit" modifier for the monster.
Humanoid (human) PC for a monster specialised in damaging Humanoid (human).
Average AC, fast healing 10, DR 5/- allowing a moderate soaking of damage per round.

Mummy rot.

Marcus just cannot help himself, give him a source of Mummy Rot and he will wallow in it. He just loves the stuff! Oddly enough, he has never died of it.

RotRL on hold.

I hope you all agree, because I think alternating the two games is the best option for the time being. Especially since the gaming group remains the same. We shall all go back to low-level adventuring, when rolling damage rolls does not require the use of logarithmic scales to assess the effect.
I just love the complexity of a monster vulnerable to fire with DR getting hit by flaming weapons: This... minus five... the other bit is fire... so half as much... plus what went through DR... gives THAT!

The game page has been updated and the next RotRL event has been posted. The only event in distant May so far!

Laurent,
