Bracken Discussion

[Sagar]

While in Bracken, I'll assume you will want to do some shopping.

We can determine prices in one of 3 ways:

1. Set markup determined by the DM and you get one price shopping.
2. For each purchase, roll d100 to determine price. This will give a final number that will be assumed to included the results of all haggling and attempts to get the lowest price.
3. Do a full skill check rountine for each transaction.
4. Do skill checks ONLY for transactions over a certain gp value.

What is thee wish?

[Shiz]

What are the relevant skills? I have a feeling we are in Fandango's element here.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Yup. I'm guessing Streetwise is the way to go. +11 is as good as we have. Brun would not be a good negotatiator.

Her wishlist:

Healing potions.
Whatever else they have that is interesting in the area of gear.

[Shiz]

Can the d100 method be modified in some way according to a group set of skill rolls?

[Shiz]

As far as items go, we are at the low side level-wise to get a lot of +2 stuff. That said, we all try and push for one item at +2.

Bal and I have our symbols, although his is not as usueful to him yet. The +1 shortbow I got from the archer is fine for now.

We should make Sagar's life easier by asking something specific like "Brun wants to look for better armor or some bracers"

Amaril or Solak should look for Enchant Item ritual. That basically lets us create magic items, for a large component cost, of course. Maybe Sagar doesn't want us to buy something like that.

So, with that said, Trask's only priority is some better armor and some potions.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Could do a d100 roll to determine if something interesting is even available (pure random... say 0-30 is no, 31-50 = a pair of +1 items, etc...) Not sure if that's crazy or not, just throwing ideas at Sagar. Probably would be RP to use Fandango's haggling in the final pricing, though. Is our bank thread up to date? We might have to audit that...

[Shiz]

I gave a list of items we brought with us. What thread, I don't know.

[Lycos]

Baladir is looking for a suitable ranged attack weapon. Magic throwing hammer or hammers. Baladir would like to do some window shopping for unique magic items. And on the other hand, any fighter type item (weapon and armor) would be of interest.

We need healing potions. Did the temple carry those potions when we were here last time? We need to shop around.

Also, Baladir will go to the temple and make the appropriate rounds in the temple. Do the proper rites and speak with the appropriate people for a paladin when he is in town. If asked for a donation, I will give 25 gp. I know this temple is less than truly faithful to Pelor and his causes, so I am not overly fond of giving my money to those who will just squander it on things the temple doesn't really need. Instead, I will look for a place where young mothers are trying to survive and donate to them. This might have to be RPed.

Half way down the thread.

[Lycos]

Also, of course we will try to keep an eye out for the archer that ran.

[Lycos]

Also, I am thinking that I should get some armor that will be useful here. Right now, I think the mages have better armor than I do. I'm thinking non-magic banded would be good.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Also, I am thinking that I should get some armor that will be useful here. Right now, I think the mages have better armor than I do. I'm thinking non-magic banded would be good.I'm seriously glad I didn't waste a feat on plate armour (yet). :P

[Lycos]

I'm seriously glad I didn't waste a feat on plate armour (yet). :P

Is that a dig at me? As a paladin, I get to wear all armor, no feats necessary except for the ones at the end of my legs. :lowrazz: back at ya!

[Shiz]

So magic armor for Bal (Scale or Plate), Trask (hide or leather), Solak (leather?) and Fandango (leather) make sense.

[Lycos]

Non-magic scale for me, so that I can operate in town. Armor and weapon upgrades are always of interest.

[DinbinFanfoom]

So mages aren't allowed in town? Or spellcasting?

[Asharad]

hey, can I go?

Like, maybe we could say that I am seriously thinking of converting to be a follower of Pelor?

Which may or may not be true, but I'd like to take a look around inside the place.

[Zyzzyx]

Somewhere, two fellows hoist tankards of stout, and you hear a faint cry... "Brilliant!"

[Sagar]

My question was not directed at WHAT you find, but how you want to determine how much you pay.

Sitting around a table, dickering can be fun. In this format, it seems less so but I am open to it if you wish.

WHAT you will find will depend on where you look and on what they have. What they have will be mostly randomly determined. Stock changes over time.

[Lycos]

My question was not directed at WHAT you find, but how you want to determine how much you pay.

Let's make it as simple as possible.

[Greebo]

@Lycos: Really probably shouldn't have farted while talking to them. Also the Pin on your lapel that says, "BRACKEN SUXXORZ DONKEY BALLZ!" might not be helping...

[Lycos]

It's still a 15 with my bonuses.

I'm fine w/ 1d100. Maybe 1d100 - Streetwise/Diplomacy/Intimidation/Bluff? W/ a set minimum?

[Greebo]

Yeah...but still...

[Lycos]

Yeah...but still...

No, but still. It might not be pretty, but it's still a 15. :mrgreen:

[EricStratton]

No, but still. It might not be pretty, but it's still a 15. :mrgreen:
Good news is that's still a good number at level 5.

[Lycos]

Good news is that's still a good number at level 5.

Yeah, we'd be in trouble if we couldn't get past the guards. :D

[Lycos]

Looks like our popularity has not waned since our time here before. So much for the quick forgetting public. But we might be able to use this to our advantage. :D

[DinbinFanfoom]

Should we try to get Bal a plate permit?

[Zyzzyx]

I'm wondering what kind of magic use would be permitted.

Solak though, is really only interested in his cantrips for in-town use. But he realizes that with our recent past a bit stronger magic might end up being used at some point.

[Sagar]

For this city, this is how things will work:

1. For pricing, give me a 1d100 roll. Add your insight, bluff and diplomacy. This result will determine your price modifier. If you wish, ONE other character can help you in the bartering (replace one of your skills with theirs in the average). More than one person helping will feel like bullying to the vendor and automatically result in max price being charged.

2. For items you want, EACH of you roll 1d100 here in the discussion thread. With that roll, tell me what 1 item you are most looking for. The higher level the item, the less likely it will be present. The roll will determine if the item is present, if a similar item is present, or if you are out of luck, presently.
If an item is available in the city, you still have to find it. It SHOULD be in a logical place, though (like a weapon in one of the weapon shops or the adventure shop).

3. Rumors: This place is RIFE with rumors. There are bazillions of them. So if you want to do rumor hunting, tell me specifically where you go (a location #) and roll streetwise. If you succeed, you learn one or more of the local rumors.

4. General hunting: If you want to learn more about the town (using streetwise to hunt on your own or diplomacy / intimidation to ask), give me an idea of what you want to learn about. (I.E: Best weapon store in town, how bad are the baker's goods, where can I get good chain mail, is it safe to go to the Happy Lady Bathhouse..)

[Shiz]

So, do we want to risk our whole pile on one roll to see what price we get, our shall we split it up? Below our the good hagglers.

20 bolts of silk = 1,400gp

Just to organzie this some more:

Cash is divided up among us evenly: 10pp and 250gp = 1,250gp.

Amaril will sell the silk bolts. Roll well, buddy.

Fandango will sell the gems, jewelry and boxes.

Baladir will sell all the tableware.

[DinbinFanfoom]

As requested. Please DO not have me try to help haggle, though. My cha mods are horrible. Only my intimidate is any good, and that won't really "help" here.

+2 insight, +2 diplomacy, +2 bluff (all from levels, I think) give me a 66 total.

[Asharad]

not sure where I was supposed to roll, so here is another.

ha! 11 one place, 9 in another! Too bad we aren't playing golf!

[Shiz]

Not sure I need to roll but I will.

[Greebo]

Asharad:That's why I am being accompanied by a well respected Paladin of Pelor.

Oh, where'd you find him, and does he know you're with Baladir?

[EricStratton]

Rolling for Silk bolts. Come on, big money!

ETA: Dammit. :(

[DinbinFanfoom]

It'd be sad if Brun's total score is still higher than y'all. :P "Yes, I got a D, but it's at least a passing grade..."

[Lycos]

My roll is in the other thread. 65 with out modifiers.

[Zyzzyx]

Sales dice say...

[Shiz]

Jeebus. We should have farmed out to Scorpio!

[Sagar]

The d100 roll here is for finding uberloot to buy.

Sales rolls must be in the other thread.

Sorry, ES. You need to roll that in the other thread.

[Shiz]

I guess we ain't finding nothing. Then of course we might get big rolls on sales and be walking around with 5k and nothing to buy.

[Sagar]

From the "magic item availability" rolls, I will say that one of you will find something very similar to what you want somewhere in town.

[Shiz]

Do you want us to enumerate our merchant visits specifically? We need to see how we do selling, first, anyway.

[Sagar]

When you get to the point of buying, yes, you will need to tell me where you are going. There are limited places to find certain things so you can say what you are looking for and I'll tell you where you can go.

[EricStratton]

Doh, sorry. I would've sworn you said something like "You need to make a haggle roll in the discussion thread." I'll make another in the adventure thread now.

[EricStratton]

Whoops, nm, I see you made it for me. And thanks, better than I would've done, I'm sure.

[Shiz]

When you get to the point of buying, yes, you will need to tell me where you are going. There are limited places to find certain things so you can say what you are looking for and I'll tell you where you can go.

Three of us are looking for magic leather or hide armor as described here:

So magic armor...for Trask (hide or leather), Solak (leather?) and Fandango (leather) make sense.

Bal wants non-magic Scale so he can have armor in town but I think that is superfluous.

[EricStratton]

Amaril's looking for a new rod implement. But not expecting his luck to continue what w/ his new armor and all.

[Asharad]

I'm also looking for a +2 or better dagger but I'm not hopeful.

[Sagar]

I am assuming that you all want to get to the magistrate (#37) before close of business, yes?

If so, you probably need to go their next.

[Shiz]

Only Baladir has to go, right? Unless we want magic use permits?

[EricStratton]

I think we might as well try to get magic permits. I fear it'll draw too much attention to us but they already know who we are. Also Solak's pretty much useless w/o his magic. At least Amaril knows how to use a sword. ;)

[Sagar]

Trask's attacks are also magical for the most part.

Baladir, Fandango and Brunhilde are ok from a magical standpoint.

[Zyzzyx]

Solak bonks Amaril on the back of the head with his greatstaff, while Redd comes up and pokes him in the eyes, Three Stooges style.


(actually, I probably should list somewhere my basic melee attack with the staff)

[Asharad]

As you wander around, you identify two other ways in.
The first is to climb straight up the back of the building to the 3rd floor window next to the library. It would be a difficult climb and possibly a bit exposed but it's direct.
The second would be to climb an easier section of wall that's a bit less exposed and then to shimmy along a small (6-8") ledge that is 3 stories up. This would also take you to the window. You'd need to shimmy along the ledge for about 60'.

okay, I've got athletics +9 and a climbers kit (back when we rolled out characters I thought it would be useful,and there it is, finally!) and acrobatics +11 (thats the walk across the ledge).

I feel pretty good about climbing the wall and shimmying across the ledge. Then I can just pop in the window and grab the book (hopefully).

You guys would most likely want to be stationed below so as to keep passersby from wandering around and noticing our shenanigans.

Do we know that I'll recognize the book when I see it?

[Sagar]

You have a good description of the book and where to find it.

[EricStratton]

Do we want to attempt some sort of distraction in the lower level? Someone speaking in tongues or something?

[Zyzzyx]

Do we want to attempt some sort of distraction in the lower level? Someone speaking in tongues or something?

A tiefling speaking in supernal. That close enough?


Not so sure about that though, might be a quick way for me to get kicked outta town. Think I'd definitely get soaked with anti-demon water. *sigh* And maybe the mob after that. *gulp*

[Asharad]

We don't want too big of a distraction. Just a couple of guys acting loud and drunk if anyone walks by.

Also, we are probably going to want to split soon after we lift this thing. If all goes well (I suspect it wont) the temple wont notice it is missing right away, but we want to get the book out of the city. And us too.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Maybe we should agree on a rendezvous point outside the city for when we scatter, and especially if all goes to pot.

[EricStratton]

Maybe we should agree on a rendezvous point outside the city for when we scatter, and especially if all goes to pot.
Good idea.

Amaril will volunteer to go into the temple and argue about which god is better.

[Asharad]

no.

In a perfect world we don't need any distraction and we certainly don't need one of the Young heros making a spectacle of themselves when the book goes missing.

Best case scenario, late, late at night a couple of you hang at either corner at the end of the block. I'll climb up and get the book, then get out. If all goes well, nobody does anything. If someone walks by as I am hanging from the roof or something, THEN you distract the passersby simplely so they don't look up and see me.

I agree that it doesn't look good to for us to be making a scene at the same time the book goes missing. But I disagree that this will go off as expected. I'm not too worried about you being seen sneaking in (but someone can definitely hanging below and do something about passersby). I'm more worried about any of the temple priests going up there and catching you in the act. I assume it's going to take some time to find the book. And while you will be doing this in the middle of the night, who knows what those religion-crazed ppl will do.

[Asharad]

eah, I don't expect it to go like clockwork either, but am at a loss for a better plan. I'd rather get in and get out with as little fuss as possible.

[DinbinFanfoom]

eah, I don't expect it to go like clockwork either, but am at a loss for a better plan. I'd rather get in and get out with as little fuss as possible.Plus whoever is standing watch at either end of the street can surruptitiously signal via whistle that someone spotted you.

[Greebo]

Guard 1: I think there are adventurers about. Guard 2: Why? Guard 1: I just heard the sound of a Giraffe dying.

[DinbinFanfoom]

I'm thinking of the lines from Transylvania 6:5000.

"Hey! Hey! Crazy person escaping!"

and

"Hey! Hey! Sane person breaking in!"

If there are guards posted/patrolling, some of the more diplomatic might try to engage them in conversation to stall them from going through Fandango's route.

[Zyzzyx]

And we're fairly sure there's no way Mr. Diplomacy, er.. Baladir can talk his way into the area and not have any priests around?

[EricStratton]

eah, I don't expect it to go like clockwork either, but am at a loss for a better plan. I'd rather get in and get out with as little fuss as possible.
Totally agree. Right off the top of my head was someone below you looking out for wanders. And one or two ppl in the temple discussing the plusses and minuses of Palor. But I have no answer for "why are you guys here talking religion at X in the morning?" So you're probably right - let's just stick w/ two ppl - you and a lookout.

[DinbinFanfoom]

If you need a quick retreat, Brun can wait by OUR window and toss a rope down to you for the return trip. You climb + her pull, and you're up in a jiff. Dunno if that's helpful. She can climb like a monkey, but is as stealthy as a dumptruck (+5).

[Asharad]

Once we get the book we got to get the book out of town.

Now, as long as nobody knows it is missing, we can just walk on out.

I was thinking steal the book, hide in the inn till morning, I'll dress up like an old man and Baldir can help me out of town.

[Shiz]

Then we definitely need to spend some of this 3800gp tomorrow before the shenanigans begin.

[Sagar]

What do you want to do tonight?

[Shiz]

Rest. Some of us might want to go downstairs and rumormonger, but not me.

[Sagar]

[Shiz]

Agreed. Tonight we go for the book and then split. Well, you go for the book.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Re: 2100gp + for helm

Sounds steep to me. Brun doesn't need it that bad.

[Shiz]

Agreed. Outrageous! Plus, I don't think the two of them have that much coin.

[Sagar]

but .. but.. but.. you had it on your LIST!

I agree. It's not THAT nice.

[EricStratton]

Did anyone want a +1 Halberd or +1 Morning Star?

[Lycos]

Did anyone want a +1 Halberd or +1 Morning Star?

I don't think so.

[EricStratton]

They don't currently have any magical robes. But they encourage you to check back again as their stocks changes.

They also ask if you would like them to look for anything in particular.
Zyzzyx, were there any specific magical robes you wanted?

[DinbinFanfoom]

suggests you look at the cloak shopYou should check this out.

[Shiz]

Buy the healing potions if the price isn't much more than what we paid.

[EricStratton]

Buy the healing potions if the price isn't much more than what we paid.
What'd you guys pay? This guy wants 48g each.

[Shiz]

Forget it.

They paid 52, iirc. Trask is just mad 'cause you got better prices.

I was thinking 22. I should have checked. Buy them.

[Zyzzyx]

Zyzzyx, were there any specific magical robes you wanted?

Can't remember anything specific ATM, building my wishlist from the character builder, on the netbook, at home.

[Sagar]

Each time you come into a major town, I'll have you roll Percentile dice. I'll compare your results to a value I determine randomly. If you are close enough, there will be something magical for sale in town that you will want. You will still need to find it.

This time, you all rolled pretty badly. :(
Next time, though...

That is not to say that there won't be things to find. There is always a chance something good is hanging around.

[Lycos]

I'm fine with just the healing potions and the potion of mimicry. That mimicry potion could be awesome for Fandango going into the Temple.

[Sagar]

To tell you the truth, I think the other stuff(everything except for the potion of mimicry and healing potions) is really not worth it. I'm of the mind to hold onto the money until we find something really nice. Also, we could look into having someone place protections on our stuff back at the manor.

I find much of the magic in 4e is not really worth it. Much of it is very situational. That said, I liked the nails (think lock spell), and the elixir of dragon breath are nice. The potions of clarity, if used at the right time, could be huge. If used at the wrong time, could be almost worthless.

I liked the nails (think lock spell) - very situational, if they know you are in there or you are in the way, they're going to smash it down.

elixir of dragon breath - one time use, weak damage. (2d6?) my daily has more potential for 100g.

potions of clarity - It could be useful for making sure that you don't blow your daily, but it could fail as well. Still a good amount of money for an insurance policy.

Yeah, and I have to agree 4E is very Gygaxian in flavor. Keep magic low key that way you don't have to worry so much about party balance. Not my favorite style, but it's doable. :D

[Shiz]

We still have over 3k gold from our sales. I don't see the harm in having some tricks.

You're hiring hookers?

I just don't want to blow 500 gold that could've gone towards something nicer later on.

[EricStratton]

Like hookers!

[Lycos]

Like hookers!

Exactly! ;)

[Sagar]

The Happy Lady Bath House has... entertainers.

[Lycos]

Ok, are we done shopping? Time to run off to get us a book?

[Sagar]

Did you not want to go to the magic shop and the cloak shop?

[EricStratton]

Grr. I made a mental note to say "Next we'll head to the magic shop and then the cloak shop" after buying the goods and, of course, forgot to type it up.

[EricStratton]

I'm thinking Brun and Fandango get the whetstones.

Solak gets at least one Clarity potion, I think - could save us w/ on a Sleep maybe? The other, I don't know.

Brun can hold on to the nail, I guess?

And Fandango gets the Mimicry potion.

Thoughts?

[Lycos]

You wanted the nail, you keep it.

As far as the 4 healing potions: Brun, Bal, Fan, Trask?

[EricStratton]

Re: the nail - my thinking was if we're in a situation where we need to use it, the front line strong person would do best to whip it out and pound it in (*giggle*).

Re: the healing potions - that works for me.

[Lycos]

Yeah, Brun can use the nail for her toe nails unless needed otherwise. I'm getting tired of watching her chew them with her teeth. :lowlol:

[Shiz]

On the cloak, I asked for armor of resistance so this is close enough. It should stack with my ring which is an enhancement bonus. If not, then we have an extra ring of protection.

[Sagar]

The cloak will not stack with rings.
Also, it was not related to any requests. It was a preset opportunity that you guys found.

[DinbinFanfoom]

If nobody else needs, Brun is interested in the ring if you upgrade to the cloak. She has no prot item yet. (others might not either)

[Shiz]

Well then, it is up for grabs. It would help any of us, obviously. Fandango is good on the cloaks department.

[Lycos]

If nobody else needs, Brun is interested in the ring if you upgrade to the cloak. She has no prot item yet. (others might not either)

Me neither.

[DinbinFanfoom]

I'm thinking we should distribute those silvering potions to the weapon-wielders too. Judging by that lycanthorp we saw out there...

Err, if Brun wouldn't know about that, maybe Amaril or Solak or Trask can do an arcana/nature check and "discover" that the silvering potions would be good against a werewolf, if that is in fact the case...

[Shiz]

All the potions have been distributed. See the character sheets.

[Sagar]

You guys need to decide whether you are hanging around a bit or leaving. Remember, though, you need the book.
Also, are you having breakfast in your room or downstairs?

[Shiz]

Ok. We got a good DM hint there. See other thread.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Oh yes! Now we have some names and werewolves to drop! Where's my gum? Bah, all out...

[Asharad]

Father Hateful.


Well...that sounds promising.

Father Gangrape is assigned somewhere else, I guess.

[Lycos]

And Father Mass Murder. :roll: This is obviously screwed up here. So, I think it's time we find out what is going on here.

[Asharad]

Nice religion you got there.

[Greebo]

Some of the lesser priests: Father Aggravatedassault, Father Dimedealer, and Father Protectionracket.

[Lycos]

Nice religion you got there.

HEY! Don't **** with us or I'll send Father KickYourAsh after you! :lowrazz:

[Greebo]

The title Father Baladir Blackmail is in your future, I can tell

[EricStratton]

"Dr. Spaceman."
"It's pronounced Spuh-chemen."

[Shiz]

We should discuss what this meeting tonight might actually be about.

1) They - whomever they are - must know we are "The Heroes".

2) Hostility can be assumed but it isn't guaranteed.

3) There are at least two competing forces at work since the werewolf guy complained about the priest guy taking from his pack to please "her."

4) Maybe they want to sic us on "her."

Other ideas?

[Asharad]

Some sort of set up with the authorities. I mean, they want to meet in a secured building.

[Shiz]

I didn't think of that. You think they are going to frame us in some way? Should we pro-actively seek out the magistrate? We have no idea of the politics of this town and we would have to explain how we saw what we saw.

"While I was sneaking into Pelor's temple to steal something, I happened to see a werewolf taking to a priest..."

Yeah, right. What was I thinking.

[Sagar]

What makes you think the vicitim was a priest?

[Asharad]

I didn't think of that. You think they are going to frame us in some way? Should we pro-actively seek out the magistrate? We have no idea of the politics of this town and we would have to explain how we saw what we saw.

"While I was sneaking into Pelor's temple to steal something, I happened to see a werewolf taking to a priest..."

Yeah, right. What was I thinking.

If some sort of authorities are there...Insofar as I am concerned, some random guy slipped me a note in the pub. Being a naturally curious type, I thought I would see what he wanted.

[Shiz]

But then why would be telling the authorities and why would they care?

[Asharad]

I'm saying if we show up and the coppers are there.

[Shiz]

If the coppers end up coming after us, it won't be because of something we know about.

[Zyzzyx]

That's what I'm thinking, they want to frame us for something. Perhaps something obvious enough as breaking and entering to the armory, while they head off with the goods.

[Lycos]

Sagar, is it possible to get to that acolyte outside of the temple? Do acolytes leave or do they live on the premises?

[Sagar]

I can't think of any way for you to get the acolyte out of the temple. They basically live there. You are welcome to try to think of a way, but I don't know what they can tell you. I am really at a loss for what you want to gain from there.

I figured I should at least touch base with them to see how things were going. Question answered.

[Shiz]

So, are we going to go to this meeting or not? Are we going to tip off someone official to try and cover ourselves? Someone else needs to decide. I am at a loss.

[Lycos]

Let's go to the meeting. Tipping off the government might be a good idea except if they show up, that might complicate things.

It would help if we had someone we could trust to tip off the government if we don't return in 2 hours.

Current Mood: :lowsmile:

[DinbinFanfoom]

Someone remind me how the silvering potions work. If a hypothetical wereperson* were say, inquiring about the possibility of filling a leg-gnawing position on my person, how would I go about using the potion (on my axe, I assume) and how many rounds/days/fortnights would I need to stall the aforementioned wereperson with paperwork before I would be properly prepared to conduct his/her/its "interview"?

* See: Affirmative Action

[Shiz]

Applying the potion is a minor action in combat, just like drinking one would be. The weapon then has the properties of a silver weapon for the encounter.

[DinbinFanfoom]

Thanks, Shiz.

[Greebo]

"Time to go."

Trask whispers a prayer to Sehanine.

Guys, if those goes bad, drop the nukes early.

If?

[DinbinFanfoom]

OK so we got Wererats vs Vampires. Where's Kate Beckinsale?

Brun doesn't care who's side we're on, as long as Bal or Trask can ensure that this Vicky the Vamp is indeed a vampire before we attempt slaying her. She doesn't wanna be set up by vermin.

[Lycos]

Well, vampires in the original version of the game were almost impossible to kill. They had so many different ways to escape it was impossible to nail them down long enough to put a stake through their heart. Does anyone know if this is still the case?

[Lycos]

Also, does anyone know if in this version, you can catch lyncathropy? It used to be a disease in the original version I believe. And if you're in a fight with one, and you are less than half hps, you have to start rolling against disease or you catch it.

[Shiz]

You cannot catch Lycanthropy. Lycanthropes can disease you. The disease effects differ based on the source.

As far as undead in 4E, there is no level draining.

[EricStratton]

Vampires, were rats, and undead. This is awesome! I like this adventure.

[Lycos]

MacNulty, does that ring a bell with any of you. It seems familar, but it's not coming to mind.

Main character's name in The Wire.

MacNulty's Compendium of Sacred Enemies, or somesuch. The name of the book we came to heist.

Ok. That's right. Funny, that a thread search for the name didn't pull up anything except the current thread.
