Trading Company of the Damned

Post by Senor T »

Ever hear the one where a cleric, a bard, and a wizard walk into an abandoned demon-infested trading company?

Well they came out again, but only barely and with DM assistance. :shock:

So yeah, we’ll need some help with this one. Figure 5 - 6 could pull it off if we planned it well enough (and had a couple fighter-types). It’s going to be a tough fight though.

Who wants in and when can you play?

I might be able tonight (Saturday) around 8:30 - 9EST, and cleasor and ayergo said they might be on tonight via discord.

Not sure that I can play again tonight, it would be a tough negociation with my SO. ;)
But I am on vacations until January the 7th (included).

I don't recommend it with less than 6 people, including two fighters, and no one under level 4(?) (Lower if you stand way back!)
With a good strategy, I'm pretty sure we can prevail, but this will be tricky and death is definately a strong possibility.

In the "information to be shared" vein:

Wayfarer would let everyone know that of more than a dozen swings at the creature with his enchanted sword few made significant contact and none showed signs of having done any damage at all.

(Means at least +2 weapons to hit and an AC around 25ish . Access to greater magic weapon a virtual necessity unless the plan is to blast it with huge amounts of arcane elemental damage)

Sorry I didn't make it last night.

I will be on MS with Arri tonight.

Not sure what Twilight can hope to bring to bear against such a creature. I doubt very much that her color spray is going to save the day this time. Happy to show up another night, though.
Talk less. Listen more.

I can play tonight. Though Jackman has a +1 weapon so that sounds ineffective. Visit the potion shop?

Just throwing this out there, but consider that there may be a non-combat solution to this.
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind

Damn, figured it out already! Actually I should say "less" combat, or combat that isn't as tough anyway.

I should be able to play Friday, around 8pm eastern.
Who else can play?

I think the "first order of business" should be getting rid of the vrock and its accompanying fiends (provided we have sufficient numbers). After that, there's some investigating to be done. :)

Yep. Should be on around 8:30-9 Friday if all goes as expected.

I may even have an idea that may or may not be ayergo’s alternate option.

Yes and looking forward to the game. We normally start at 9:00 pm EST, so please confirm we're starting earlier.

I have absolutely no ideas how to use non-lethal means to rid ourselves of the vrock. Use diplomacy? Economic sanctions?

I'm going to shoot to be on by 8pm EST, hoping to catch the level 1 n00bs first while you guys make a plan.
