Session 168: September 13, 2017
Some of our group chase after the blinded and wounded mother hulk with eggs on its back.
Momentarily aftwerwards, Thorfus comes out of his confusion and chases after them.
They find a third hulk and it attacks Nash. Thorfus rushes up at incredible speed and hammers the creature to great effect, but the creature wounds Thorfus. Thorfus wounds it again, and this time, the creature fells Thorfus, his lifeless body thrown across the tunnel.
Axel and Lambertus rush up, and evade Bavmorda, who was confused by the creature’s gaze. Axel, Nash, and Lambertus manage to fell the creature.
The monkeys cease working on the beserker and come to sing for Thorfus.
After looting thd body of Thorfus, Axel uses the Crystal Circlet and commands the monkeys to sing more quietly. Axel sends one to get Edan, and reaches out to Edan. Edan comes and sees Thorfus’s body. They go after the mother hulk and Edan hits it with the rest of his magic missiles, and finally fells it. It did charge, but did not hurt anyone else. It fell on its back and only two of the remaining eggs survived. Shell fragments and some egg liquid in cloaks and handles.
Amadeus found the body of a gnome who had a lenticular device and a crude map of the ancient dwarven area.
Nash opened up the stomachs of two of the hulks and found some gems.
They send the berserker in and the lenticular device does not work.
Nash drags Thorfus’ body in and puts his hand on the button and it opens.
They are not incinerated.
Next room has a room with light and gnomes and goblins building a tall tower (Crystal Tower) from materials gnomes & goblins were mining.
Find secret 5x 5 room with stuff. Chest of gold and bag of holding and potion.
We elect to rest and re-learn spells in the ancient dwarven area, and the monkeys work to repair the berserker.
RIP Lord Thorfus Ironhand, aged 52 years 362 days.
Nooooo! Dammit I always miss the important stuff.
Thorfus had an amazing run in this campaign (especially given his HP rolls!); I imagine the party will investigate if there are any options, but it is still quite shocking. Follow Me, And Die!, let me know whether this summary should count for Thorfus or a new character in terms of XP rewards (no rush on deciding).
I wonder if Edan can transfer his essence into Kalgunn’s sword. 😉
looking back. Ronin didn’t get that option/ and according to my xp record Nash didn’t get to take them either. only got to forward the summery xp
WickedWayz !, if you did the summary for the session when Ronin died, the XP should have gone to Nash (Ronin could have been [could be?] resurrected — someone had his skull, didn’t they? I think the party assumed the damage was too extreme at the time). No other XP rolls forward in either case.
Just noticed: This was session 168.
John Carlson Fixed
as far as resurrecting i chose not to clone ronin.. nash still didn’t take his xp for that session.
so of nash can have that xp. then its only fair, but if this was the case why ask the question
either way if Nash gets xp i didn’t realize he had gotten. i’m glad the question was asked
WickedWayz !​​​, I think we’re saying the same thing? If a player loses his character in a session for which they are writing the summary, they can apply that XP to the new character (unless they want to apply it to the dead character for some reason); no other XP carries over — if you gave Nash the summary XP, everything is good (that’s all Larry’s new character could take, too).
Edit: I should add that summary XP is determined by the level of the character to whom it is applied (i.e., dead Thorfus gets more summary XP than living new guy). Sorry if I was unclear about that.
