Surprised we hadn't discussed this earlier, but it happens, though WebRPG has it's own dice rolling setup, as well as character sheets you can built and macros you can establish to make dice rolling much easier.

FreezyDutch: i cant join?
HyDrODooM: pur campaign is full, you will have to join the second campaign, but we would like u too stick around today and sub for a missing person
HyDrODooM: our*
fantasymage44: hey hydro invite FallenMatriarch

Yes, Tamuril is a girl.

Anyhow, I would like to say that the game can have more than 4 people, even the prefabricated games. Hydro, if the groups are larger, let me know, I'll show you pieces and parts to the adventure that are increased in difficulty and treasure to compensate for the greater numbers.

Otherwise though, the actual party was PhDragon, Sokar, Giades, and Tamuril (See dungeononline.proboards45.com/index.cgi?board=ebcamp&action=display&thread=1118202588&page=1), since Fritters couldn't do it. You were only going to have 4 players a game in order to do those adventures correctly without any changes. There should have only been those people in the chatroom.

But these sort of chaotic runs happen alot in first sessions, all to often, so no biggie

[cbolt]

Fallen Matriarch has entered the room.
HyDrODooM: 5 is the limit, but i run 2 campaigns
FreezyDutch: ok im willing

PhDragon1: gah, doom, can you just do the mini for him?
HyDrODooM: yes
FreezyDutch: use the toolbar below the map and check all the crt
Fallen Matriarch: *beams* You see why I hate maps, no?
FreezyDutch: it will make it easier to put pieces on map
fantasymage44: this is annoying
fantasymage44: lets just use text

Fallen Matriarch: That it is.
FreezyDutch: ok lets begin

To prevent these events from occuring and wasting alot of valuable time, it's usually best for the DM to start the chatroom, or for the players to get into some chatoom, about 10-30 minutes before schedule, and then remain entirely quiet in the room until the DM is ready. One thing we once did that worked alright for groups this talkative was a two-room system. One room for OOC banter, another for in-game stuff. Something to consider.

Also, games should have a set length of 3-4 hours, and everyone should be prepared and able to play from the scheduled time to 3-4 hours after, especially if you are going to use pre-written adventures.

And Tamuril was not at her house that day, she was playing from someone else's house, which is why she wasn't logged into WebRPG. On days like this, it's best for the DM to control her character in this way, or have her appoint someone to be the "official mini mover". She really doesn't need grids and maps anyhow, just as long as the DM is providing the descriptions she can imagine it and go with the flow rather well, from what I remember in previous games with her.

mIRC (www.mirc.com) is a much better program to use for IRC gaming, rather than Trillian. It's free, says there's a trial period, but that's a joke, just wait a bit when it starts and the "Continue" button will be clickable. Just a note on that program.

Everyone should have gone through WebRPG and asked questions prior to this game. Yes, it happens where everyone is confused, but all of this should have been dealt with earlier. If I had known then I would have helped people out. IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE GAME ASK BEFORE THE DAY OF THE GAME. That's all. lol. Hydro, in this case, it would have been better to go ahead and just set the entire map yourself and what mini people were using, and setting their names.

fantasymage44: wait I realized something
Fritzy6000: ?
fantasymage44: where are we starting?

PhDragon1: everyone agree to same squad?
fantasymage44: I guess
Fritzy6000: k
PhDragon1: unless someone else got something better
FreezyDutch: its the most likely way...
Fallen Matriarch: Whatever.
fantasymage44: quick question: why is tam represented by a warrior dude?
FreezyDutch: its only the beginning...

FreezyDutch: we needed a job after the war
Fritzy6000: right
FreezyDutch: sharn was the best place we could find?
fantasymage44: this is where we live?
Fallen Matriarch: Yesh! Alasse! QUeen of the drow barbarians! Standing at an amazing 7 feet tall with enougn muscles to lift a giant above her....! PHEER HER!
FreezyDutch: other towns are war raided and worn down
Fritzy6000: So we chose to be mercaneries, ridding sharn of evil
fantasymage44: lol
PhDragon1: lol, good point, why are we with a drow?
fantasymage44: drow aren't always evil
fantasymage44: but always hot
fantasymage44: lol
FreezyDutch: she is a drow kill her!!!
Fallen Matriarch: In Eberron the drows have long been sealed upon the surface world.
FreezyDutch: lol
Fallen Matriarch: We're no longer evil, just a little antisocial.
PhDragon1: ah ok

HyDrODooM: ok
FreezyDutch: from the war i figure
fantasymage44: bck
HyDrODooM: ok then moving on


Yes, many if not all of you are new! I understand that! Ok, continuing on...

This should have been done instead of useless banter, and decided and written down in the forums prior to the game day. That will speed up the games alot.

[cbolt]

HyDrODooM: Ok the storty begins with u guys wandering the skybridges and towers, upper balconies of sharn after dark, now.. why are u guys doing this, are u purposly going somewhere or are u lost, or could u just be exploring the city?
Fritzy6000: exploring
fantasymage44: yeah
fantasymage44: we like exploring
fantasymage44: :-)
Fallen Matriarch: Alright, Alasse is a drow rogue from Xen'drik, who felt a calling to the outside world, mainly for the power it promised. She recently left her home after the great war assuming ...
HyDrODooM: ok
Fallen Matriarch: ... she could secure some powerful holding on a soceity. She's still working on this one.

HyDrODooM: avoaiding light

fantasymage44: "Um.... greetings?"
HyDrODooM: staying in shadows
fantasymage44: put his mini
HyDrODooM: and he slips over the sky bridge
HyDrODooM: hes gone
Fritzy6000: "Come out, so we can see you!"
FreezyDutch: what was he doing?
HyDrODooM: u also notices
FreezyDutch: i walk to his previous location
Fritzy6000: "NO! We missed him!"
PhDragon1: run to where he went over and look around
fantasymage44: "What was that??"
FreezyDutch: i try to heal
fantasymage44: heal waht?
FreezyDutch: the dead body
HyDrODooM: your healing fails
Fallen Matriarch: the panda with a wedgy
fantasymage44: dead body??
OnlineHost: FreezyDutch rolled 1 20-sided die: 16
FreezyDutch: 16+8 = 24
Fallen Matriarch: *dances*
FreezyDutch: how did he die?
HyDrODooM: you can't spot the cloaked figure, he is gone into the night
Fallen Matriarch: *dances very *friendly* personily*
fantasymage44: "what happened?"
Fritzy6000: "Oh no!"
HyDrODooM: u guys can move freely
Fallen Matriarch: "eat pie!"
Fallen Matriarch: of course I can
fantasymage44: "what the-"
Fallen Matriarch: you idiot
FreezyDutch: i said i try to heal i rolled 24 total
FreezyDutch: how did he die?
fantasymage44: guys, lets not use webrpg
PhDragon1: what are you trying to heal? no one died
fantasymage44: I don't know whats going on
Fallen Matriarch: "I sat on him"
HyDrODooM: me either
HyDrODooM: people are talking too much
FreezyDutch: there is a dead body in front of us
HyDrODooM: \this is getting confusing
HyDrODooM: i don't know whats going on or who is doing what
PhDragon1: err yeah
FreezyDutch: maybe we should create a order of speech
Fallen Matriarch: "may I eat the green eggs and ham?"
PhDragon1: this is confusing
HyDrODooM: yes
HyDrODooM: we have to do something
fantasymage44: or maybe removed the map?
fantasymage44: describe everything?
fantasymage44: it makes things easier
HyDrODooM: the map isn't hurting anything
Fallen Matriarch: on a frosty evening you wet your pants
fantasymage44: we have to focus on two things at once
HyDrODooM: its all the talking
Fallen Matriarch: and the muffins attacked the universe
HyDrODooM: lets try and stick to the game
Fritzy6000: yes. NO OOC
FreezyDutch: ok we talk in order of descending order
HyDrODooM: i'm sorry this is my fault, i'm too new right now
fantasymage44: np
HyDrODooM: i will get the hang of things
FreezyDutch: do not speak unless its your turn or doom asks a question
Fallen Matriarch: new yea stupid noob
HyDrODooM: out games will get better as they go on
HyDrODooM: lol
Fallen Matriarch: no they won't
HyDrODooM: my virus isn't helping me much either
Fallen Matriarch: you suck
HyDrODooM: be nice fallen
Fallen Matriarch: just an excuse
fantasymage44: yeah
fantasymage44: be nice
Fallen Matriarch: no I don't hafta be nice
FreezyDutch: leave the dead man alone
HyDrODooM: tam falls dead for no reason
PhDragon1: WHAT DEAD MAN?


I would like everyone to note that in this part of the chatroom, that was not Tamuril, that was the friend that she was with when she was playing. Tamuril is a nice woman, her friend is not. Note that she suddenly changes, speaks in nonsense, and doesn't capitalize. That's not Tamuril.

[cbolt]

Fallen Matriarch: Highly unlikely.
HyDrODooM: ok
FreezyDutch: the dead man on webrpg
fantasymage44: "Wow, um, that was... spontaneous."
Fallen Matriarch: First of all, I don't think you're quite experienced enough to DM.
fantasymage44: "You ok?"
FreezyDutch: and just download java and download webrpg
FreezyDutch: there not that big
fantasymage44: she isn't using her comp
FreezyDutch: and java runs on anything
HyDrODooM: no i'm not experianced enough
HyDrODooM: noone else wanted too do it
fantasymage44: I could... 'try' to DM
Fallen Matriarch: And you all are really not making his job easy with your meaningless ramblings between characters.
fantasymage44: true
HyDrODooM: i'v never even played a game
Fallen Matriarch: I could DM for you right now.
Fallen Matriarch: I know.
fantasymage44: you don't even have DMG though
FreezyDutch: i have lead 3 campaigns
Fallen Matriarch: I don't need one.
FreezyDutch: and i have the adventure
fantasymage44: but theres a lot of rules in DMG that are usefull
Fallen Matriarch: I can make one up right here without any books or anything.
FreezyDutch: www.d20srd.org
Fallen Matriarch: And it'll be fun.
Fallen Matriarch: You get a tavern.
PhDragon1: i say go for it
FreezyDutch: hypertext mega resource
fantasymage44: has anyone here Dmed before?
Fallen Matriarch: and a dungeon delve that takes like 6 hours max start to finish.
fantasymage44: we need someone with actual experience
FreezyDutch: like i said i dméd 3 campaigns
fantasymage44: he could dm
FreezyDutch: do you mind Doom?
HyDrODooM: hey i told u guys tons of times i'v never played or dmed, everyone said it would be just fine
fantasymage44: is cbolt online?
PhDragon1: why don't we just let tam dm right now?
Fallen Matriarch: No, Cbolt's not online, but I'm like his bet friends.
Fallen Matriarch: best friend*
HyDrODooM: is there any1 that would want to dm this whole campaign?
HyDrODooM: cbolt is my helper
FreezyDutch: I CAN
Fallen Matriarch: Not really, I don't like pre-made campaigns.
fantasymage44: let freezy!
HyDrODooM: he was supost too be on
Fallen Matriarch: Yeah.
FreezyDutch: for at least a couple of weeks
Fallen Matriarch: He's at work hunny.
Fallen Matriarch: He works from 6 pm until 3 am in the morning.
HyDrODooM: i would really like too play
Fallen Matriarch: Sundays - Wed.
FreezyDutch: Ok then ill dm

FreezyDutch: let me get adventure first
fantasymage44: no webrpg or anything?
HyDrODooM: ok frezzy u gonna dm this game?
HyDrODooM: ok nvm
FreezyDutch: one sec
Fallen Matriarch: I can DM right now.
Fallen Matriarch: No preparation or anything if you'd like.
FreezyDutch: Me too
Fallen Matriarch: And Doom you can just have my character, and play a male.
fantasymage44: or, he can play jakes char
Fallen Matriarch: Yeah.
PhDragon1: i say we do that
HyDrODooM: well are we doing a campaign or are u talking about just dming this one session?
fantasymage44: simple: doom play jakes char, and freezy dm
fantasymage44: hmmm
fantasymage44: depends how it goes, I guess
HyDrODooM: i want to play my own character if i play, i can do jakes too tho
FreezyDutch: opk its raining
HyDrODooM: ok forst of all what are we doing
PhDragon1: wha? so is tam dming or freezy?
fantasymage44: freezy
HyDrODooM: who is dming and is it for just this session or a campaign
FreezyDutch: crap 232 characters not allowed... sigh
Fallen Matriarch: Lol.
Fallen Matriarch: I can make up an Eberry one right now, so you all can keep your current characters.
fantasymage44: I think we should see how well things go to decide if campaign or sesion
fantasymage44: who wants to DM the most?
FreezyDutch: You spot a cloaked figure leaping into the darkness... he is now out of sight... check we coverd that
fantasymage44: k lol
fantasymage44: "Should we follow him?"
FreezyDutch: you are now on the large skybridge spanning between the Dalamaan tower and the Kelsa Spire
Fritzy6000: "no"
FreezyDutch: there is a dead body...
FreezyDutch: you might have time to search
Fritzy6000: "Hes gone"
fantasymage44: "yeah, we could get ourselves killed."
Fallen Matriarch: prissy boys don't like me
fantasymage44: I slowly approach the corpse, keeping my wits about me, as to watch for any sudden attack
Fallen Matriarch: well so long for now I dont think I want to be involved in this little sherade anymore.
FreezyDutch: so dead body anyone?
fantasymage44: :-(
Fritzy6000: Is there marks to indicate how he died?
fantasymage44: come on, just use you char
fantasymage44: with freez dming
Fallen Matriarch: Lol. I really can't stand to play kindergaten teacher anymore though.
PhDragon1: why is freeze dming rather than Tam?
FreezyDutch: a bladed weapon seems to be the source
HyDrODooM: man this is a mess, i wish some1 would have suggested that i couldn't DM b4 we start, i had a bad feeling about it too
FreezyDutch: the hooded figure the likely suspect
fantasymage44: "Ouch..... looks like a painfull death."
HyDrODooM: i was overwelmed with all the preperation
Fallen Matriarch: I don't feel that any of you are well aquainted enough with the mechanics to play in an unstructured game just yet.
FreezyDutch: you know that you might find his identity in his papers
fantasymage44: ((well, its ok, thats how the first session with me went))
HyDrODooM: i agree
fantasymage44: (("ok u guys are in a bar...can somebody else please dm for me?"))
FreezyDutch: then get out or join in i have been playing this game for 5 yeasrs
FreezyDutch: you dont have to help
FreezyDutch: i can manage
Fallen Matriarch: I know you can Freezy.
HyDrODooM: the main problem is most of everyone isn't paying attention and everyone is just talking
fantasymage44: yep
Fallen Matriarch: Well you guys banter to much with your characters.
FreezyDutch: dead body search for papers yes or no?
HyDrODooM: nobody shoudl say anything enless it is responding to the dm
fantasymage44: k, so lets start: Freezy DMing
fantasymage44: or character speech or actions?
FreezyDutch: just a yes or no and who is doing the groping?
Fallen Matriarch: I say you let Freezy start hte campaign HIS way.
Fritzy6000: "This man has clearly been murdered"
fantasymage44: "Yes, and it wasn't a quick death."
FreezyDutch: finally the plot thickens a murder you say
PhDragon1: i serach the body for identifcation papers
Fallen Matriarch has left the room.


You know what happened here. I don't even have to explain it. She really is my best friend and a very good player and DM of D&D, hell, she taught me most of my real skills in the game, I could not even run a decent NPC before I met her.

I would ask that you all apologize, but knowing you guys, hehe, fat chance, right? Well, I'm not gonna say anything else, but that she really does know what she's talking about, and she's much more mature than many of us, myself included in that, that's for sure.

And FreezyDutch...now I am not saying you're a bad DM, as a matter of fact the rest of the game ran pretty smoothly, good job...but you should have said you'd run the second group earlier in the week instead of doing what you did here with taking Hydro's game, cause you looked more like you're just being mean to Tamuril than being helpful to the group.

HydroDoom, you need to learn and grow from your experiences, and you won't learn what it means to be a good DM if you're not practicing at it, cause it's just not the same to watch other DMs. Guess who taught me that? That's right, Tamuril taught me that. When either me or her or around, we're more than willing to help and be asked for advice. We both have been running a similar group like this since last November, so we have gone through all these problems and more.

My actual work schedule is Saturday to Tuesday, 7:30pm to 6:00am EST, she was close. If you moved the schedule to afternoons or Wed-Fri, I can sit in and watch and help here and there. I am playing/running games on Wednesdays and Fridays, but otherwise I am here for questions and will sit in and watch and help you run the game when you have problems.

FreezyDutch: you find that this elderly man was named Bonal Geldem
FreezyDutch: profession scholar at Mograive

FreezyDutch: you also notice a small pouch
fantasymage44: "Whats that?"
FreezyDutch: gold!!!
FreezyDutch: do you loot the body?
Fritzy6000: "No!"
PhDragon1: "no, it would be wrong to profit from an unjust death"
fantasymage44: "I think we should take this in to the officials."
FreezyDutch: ok
Fritzy6000: "It is not for us to scavenge this man"
FreezyDutch: you hear
FreezyDutch: Oh my god what are they doing to that man

FreezyDutch: man without name found dead
Fritzy6000: "NO! We are not at fault, and can talk our way out of this."
fantasymage44: "Look, we stumbled upon this body!"
fantasymage44: "We didn't murder him!"
FreezyDutch: Whistles of the guard are approaching
FreezyDutch: there is still time to escape
PhDragon1: "hoo boy, we're screwed now"
fantasymage44: how high up is the bridge?
FreezyDutch: neck breaker
Fritzy6000: "We can talk our way out!"
fantasymage44: "Ok, well we can't jump...."
Fritzy6000: "Everyone remain calm!"
fantasymage44: *peers over*
PhDragon1: "very well, perhaps they will listen to reason"
FreezyDutch: as you argue about the course of action
FreezyDutch: the guard draw closer
FreezyDutch: do you await their arrival
Fritzy6000: yes
PhDragon1: "i say we wait for them"
FreezyDutch: by the way did you take the pouch of gold?

fantasymage44: "Umm, excuse me good sirs..."
FreezyDutch: the guards arrive
fantasymage44: "We were passing through, and we saw this corpse...."
FreezyDutch: two males one female dressed in green black studded leather of sharn's city guards
PhDragon1: *whispers* "yeah, they're gonna believe that one all right"
fantasymage44: "We... didn't kill the person, if thats what you're thinking."
FreezyDutch: let me describe a bit first please
fantasymage44: wondering if the big sword strapped to his back will make him seem guilty, he shrugs.
FreezyDutch: a bald dwarf steps forward, obviously the leader
FreezyDutch: they have already aimed their weapons
fantasymage44: aimed??
Fritzy6000: "Hold, sirs"
PhDragon1: "wonderful, just wonderful"

FreezyDutch: now you can talk
fantasymage44: "And I am Medrin, warrior of the empire" (or whatever its called in ebberron)
FreezyDutch: see doom its easy dont get confused just ignore
Fritzy6000: "...when we chanced upon this man"
fantasymage44: "We were only passing through!"
FreezyDutch: hold it youngsters
PhDragon1: "well, this might be a tad hard to believe, but we actually did just find a dead body on the floor"
FreezyDutch: one of you do the talking
Fritzy6000: "My good mate jin here did his best to aid this man"
Fritzy6000: "But it was too late"
FreezyDutch: aha and what was it he was too late for?
fantasymage44: "He was already.... dead."
Fritzy6000: "To save the man"
Fritzy6000: "He was already dead"
PhDragon1: *whispers* "mention that we found his identification papers and know who is is"
FreezyDutch: i see that this poor soul is now deceased but what caused this?
FreezyDutch: and do you know this man?
fantasymage44: "Looks like a blades wound..."
Fritzy6000: "We have found his pappers. I suppose you would want to see them"
FreezyDutch: yes i would
fantasymage44: ((please freezy, use ""))
FreezyDutch: he nudges the male to retrieve the papers
Fritzy6000: "He was clearly murdered"
FreezyDutch: ok sorry
fantasymage44: np
FreezyDutch: "Yes, well since i don't see any bloody rags or swords on you i suppose you are telling the truth"
Fritzy6000: "This death was recent. If we hurry, we may still find the murderer, but not if we stand here talking!"
fantasymage44: "Yes, in fact, we saw someone run by."
FreezyDutch: Fritzy please roll a diplomacy check to further this conversation along

fantasymage44: "yeah, what he said."
PhDragon1: "matters at the guard post are not terribly urgent"
FreezyDutch: lol ok
fantasymage44: "And this.... might be."
FreezyDutch: you go to the tavern as instructed
PhDragon1: "exactly"
fantasymage44: I say we end now
fantasymage44: its late and stuff
FreezyDutch: You see a big tavern with the sign of house Ghallanda
FreezyDutch: almost done
fantasymage44: k
fantasymage44: "Well, here we are."
FreezyDutch: You are immediatly greeted by a halfling
FreezyDutch: and escorted to a large table
fantasymage44: "Greetings, immediate halfling."
fantasymage44: lol
FreezyDutch: "M'lady your guests have arrived"
FreezyDutch: The human female in the dark blue cloak has delicate features, dark blue eyes, and sleek black hair bound with silver and turquoise ornaments.
PhDragon1: "and whom do we have the pleasure of speaking with?"
fantasymage44: "Uh, hello."
FreezyDutch: She wears a signet ring of House Cannith on her right ring finger and speaks in a soft but clear voice. "Thankjou for coming.
FreezyDutch: We have important business to discuss that relates to the unfortunate death of Bonal Geldem. Please, sit down."
Fritzy6000: "Uh... Your welcome?"
fantasymage44: "Your.... welcome."
Fritzy6000: "Very well"
fantasymage44: "Yes ma'am."
fantasymage44: I sit down
PhDragon1: *sits*
FreezyDutch: "My name is Elaydren d'Vown cousin by blood to House Cannith"
Fritzy6000: "Greetings"
FreezyDutch: "I have been working with Provost Geldem to recover a family heirloom,"Lady Elaydren explains.
FreezyDutch: "We were to meet earlier tonight, but asjou know, he never made it. I learned from the Watch what had transpired, and so sentone of my men to trackjou down."
FreezyDutch: She continues. "The heirloom, according to family legends, was locked away in a foundry that dates back to pre-Galifar Sharn. Poor Bonal believed he discovered the location of the foundry in an ancientHouse Cannith journal.
fantasymage44: ((is that an accent or poor spelling?))
FreezyDutch: . ."Her voice trails off. Then she leans close."Perhaps you would be willing to recover the heirloom for me. For agenerous reward, of course."
fantasymage44: "Um, I guess, maybe"
FreezyDutch: dunno copy paste
fantasymage44: k lol
Fritzy6000: "We could"
FreezyDutch: probably both
Fritzy6000: "But we should proceed with caution"
fantasymage44: "How can we trust you?"
Fritzy6000: "There may be a greater evil at work here"
FreezyDutch: By the silver flame i will proceed with caution?
fantasymage44: "You could be leading us to a deathtrap to take out money."
Fritzy6000: yes
fantasymage44: "Whats up with you and greater evil, anyway?"
HyDrODooM: can some1 copy and paste everything in this room from when we first walked in and send it too me when we are done?
fantasymage44: our*
FreezyDutch: you are handed a journal
fantasymage44: "Thanks, um, I guess..."
Fritzy6000: "and this is...?"
PhDragon1: "i assume what Bonal was working on?"
fantasymage44: "Bonal?"
fantasymage44: "Oh, him."
FreezyDutch: The journal of Bonal Geldem i acuired it from the guards
fantasymage44: ((lol I forgot for a minute))
PhDragon1: "do you have any ideas why Bonal was murdered?"
fantasymage44: "And what the motive was?"
fantasymage44: "Wait..."
FreezyDutch: this journal... and information
PhDragon1: "we would need to know of potential dnagers before deciding whether to aid you or not
fantasymage44: I look awkwardly around the room
fantasymage44: "Yeah, we can't just risk our life."
Fritzy6000: "We put our lives at risk every day"
Fritzy6000: "Its our job"
FreezyDutch: All i have heard of Bonal is that he was going to need fire on the expedition.
fantasymage44: "Well, we need a break some time."
FreezyDutch: whatever that might mean
PhDragon1: "fire?"
fantasymage44: "What?"
Fritzy6000: "..."
PhDragon1: "strange.........and you know nothing of the inhabitatns of the area mentioned in the journal?"
PhDragon1: "guardian trolls or some such?"
FreezyDutch: And the lord of blades might be involved since you have encountered a rogue warforged
Fritzy6000: "Lord of blades?"
fantasymage44: "Who's that?"
FreezyDutch: (An evil doer that has gathered masses of warforged to liberate them from fleshling oppression)
fantasymage44: *oh)
PhDragon1: "wonderful, just wonderful"
Fritzy6000: "In the name of the Silverflame, I WILL put a stop too this"
fantasymage44: "Great, now we get to get killed by someone even more powefulll...."
PhDragon1: "put a stop to what?"
fantasymage44: "Hehe...."
Fritzy6000: "Evil doers"
PhDragon1: "we don't even know what we're really dealing with"
fantasymage44: "Such as?"
Fritzy6000: "Do we ever?"
fantasymage44: "Yeah."
fantasymage44: "Last time was the war, remember/"
fantasymage44: ?*
PhDragon1: "we know that bondal was searching for an heirloom and needed fire but was murdered by a warforged for some mysterious reason"
FreezyDutch: All you need to do is enter the ruin and retrieve the heirloom
fantasymage44: "Yeah, seems simple..."
fantasymage44: "Seems."
fantasymage44: "Whatever this is, it got him killed."
FreezyDutch: What dangers you will face i cannot say... But the offer stands untill you leave this table. You will be handsomly rewarded by my house
Fritzy6000: "And if the Silverflame wishes the same of us, then so it will be."
PhDragon1: "i believe we should investigate this regardless"
Fritzy6000: "As do i"
fantasymage44: "You and the silverflame..... tsktsk."
PhDragon1: "rogue warforged murdering people could prove to be a problem"
fantasymage44: yeah
fantasymage44: ""
PhDragon1: "at the very least, we need to understand the motives behind it"
FreezyDutch: The relic i seek is an adamantine plate in the shape ofa seven-pointed star about the size of your hand,"
fantasymage44: "I see..."
FreezyDutch: It has no special power by itself, but is an ancient schema

FreezyDutch: a piece of a pattern used by the Cannith artificers of old to craft unusual items. Recover this piece of historyfor us, and House Cannith will be extremely grateful.
PhDragon1: "i propose that we take heed of bondal's message of bringing fire"
fantasymage44: "Yeah."
Fritzy6000: "yes..."
PhDragon1: "it could prove handy and you never know when you're going to need to burn something"
fantasymage44: "Or see, for that matter."
PhDragon1: "hell, any problem will go away with enough fire"
fantasymage44: "Including life."
fantasymage44: "If thats a problem."
fantasymage44: I chuckle
Fritzy6000: I scoff at your light hearted mood
PhDragon1: "might as well get this over with and get ourselves thrown into the midsts of danger once again"
FreezyDutch: I also have a map and 100gp to fund your expedition. You will get 900 GP after you bring me the heirloom
fantasymage44: k, I dunno why but dieff wants me to post a link of his char (from dungeon online)
fantasymage44: I propose wen
fantasymage44: oops
fantasymage44: www.3eprofiler.net/3ep/view.php?id=26444
Fritzy6000: " then we shall prepare our selves..."
PhDragon1: shall we be off then to ready our supplies?"
fantasymage44: "Yeah, we should."
Fritzy6000: "...But we should tread with caution..."
fantasymage44: ((Come on, guys, I'm sleepy))
fantasymage44: "I don't want to."
fantasymage44: "I want to get killed."
fantasymage44: I smirk
Fritzy6000: "...There may be a greater evil at work"
FreezyDutch: Ok part one over

fantasymage44: in the uinerth camps we would get exp after each session
PhDragon1: yeah, that was pretty good
FreezyDutch: so i can mprove
fantasymage44: yeah you did
Fritzy6000: yes, very
fantasymage44: good job
PhDragon1: you managed to salvage the session
fantasymage44: its hard to say when using a premade adventure though
HyDrODooM: can some1 copy all the chat in here and send it too me?
fantasymage44: you do that, ph
fantasymage44: lol
fantasymage44: do it, slave boy
fantasymage44: lol
PhDragon1: lol, why me?

HyDrODooM: hey mage, i sent u books, do me this favor
fantasymage44: k
fantasymage44: so starting from when?
Fritzy6000: In the name of the silverflame, i will copy this chat!
HyDrODooM: i need it too help me learn and record what happend
fantasymage44: lol
fantasymage44: k
Aegir X: Hm... if all you're using WebRPG for is the dice roller, why are you using it at all?
fantasymage44: dunno
PhDragon1: we were planning on using it more
fantasymage44: I agree
fantasymage44: we can roll here
PhDragon1: but it's laggy
Fritzy6000: the maps
fantasymage44: or have dm roll all of the stuff
Fritzy6000: its not bad
fantasymage44: and tell us results
FreezyDutch: OpenRPG is a alternative
Fritzy6000: ?
FreezyDutch: its much like Web RPG
PhDragon1: i heard it's hellish for dms to use though
fantasymage44: we did that with uinerth, but I'm pretty sure the dm fudged some of the rolls....
fantasymage44: lol
fantasymage44: dm could roll everything in real life
fantasymage44: and say results
OnlineHost: Aegir X rolled 1 6-sided die: 5
OnlineHost: fantasymage44 rolled 1 50-sided die: 2
Aegir X: AIM has a built-in dice roller, thats not an issue.
Fritzy6000: But we could still use aim for dice rolls
fantasymage44: yeah
fantasymage44: its annoying to right all of that though
fantasymage44: write*
PhDragon1: just copy it
PhDragon1: and paste
fantasymage44: yeah but if you want to roll multiple dice
Aegir X: Yea, I just have a text file with all of them. Just C&P
fantasymage44: ic
OnlineHost: Aegir X rolled 15 6-sided dice: 1 1 6 5 5 4 3 1 3 2 3 2 6 1 6
PhDragon1: i just paste and then change 1 number
fantasymage44: yeah
fantasymage44: but you have to go back and ends up taking just as long
PhDragon1: but yeah, webrpgs die system is better
Aegir X: Can't go higher then 15 tho'
fantasymage44: k, well what of exp
fantasymage44: we used to award exp after each session
PhDragon1: so are we doing exp after each session or after entire adventure?
FreezyDutch: ok
Fritzy6000: But theres not enough to matter...
fantasymage44: yeah there is
Fritzy6000: We beat one guy...
fantasymage44: there was the warforged, and the rping
PhDragon1: well, story progression too
fantasymage44: and the issues before the campaign....
fantasymage44: lol
PhDragon1: lol, that doesn't really count
FreezyDutch: 100xp per person seems fair
fantasymage44: k
Fritzy6000: but...
FreezyDutch: at the end you should all be 2nd level...
HyDrODooM: are u reading the im i gave u freeze?
fantasymage44: aww god point
FreezyDutch: so ten more of these and youre done
Fritzy6000: that's not how the game works...
fantasymage44: good*
fantasymage44: so don't give exp
PhDragon1: what do you mean fritzy?
fantasymage44: its a premade adventure thing
Fritzy6000: But it should be 300/5...
fantasymage44: yeah true
Fritzy6000: Cr1 @ level 1
PhDragon1: it doesn't really matter
Fritzy6000: DMG page 37
fantasymage44: yes, we know
FreezyDutch: yes but then you forget the npcs you spoke to and the things you acuired
fantasymage44: yeah
PhDragon1: dm takes precendence over the books
FreezyDutch: aquired...
fantasymage44: rping awards
PhDragon1: don't stick to the rules too much
Aegir X: Don't really think it matters. If its something you hig Lv 2 after the adventure, then it might as well just be "Win and get 1,000xp"
PhDragon1: think of them more as guidelines
fantasymage44: yeah and there are house rules
FreezyDutch: i just fudge the first few levels... they dont matter anyway
PhDragon1: yeah
fantasymage44: yeah
FreezyDutch: round numbers at start are easier to calculate
PhDragon1: the exp pts aren't the important thing
Fritzy6000: ...
fantasymage44: yeah
HyDrODooM: when the forgotta forge is over u should be lvl 2, i'v read about this and i don't see a problem the way he is doing it
fantasymage44: yeah true
PhDragon1: honestly, if you start calculating every number, he gets very tiresome
fantasymage44: we could not award exp till it says
HyDrODooM: the dmg say there is 2 ways of giving exp
PhDragon1: i didn't bother conting my copper pieces for example
PhDragon1: i just rounded it up
Fritzy6000: but...
fantasymage44: also, whos copying the chat?
Aegir X: I'd do it, but can't, for obvious reasons...
fantasymage44: yeah
PhDragon1: i thoguth you were doing ti mage?
fantasymage44: I can
PhDragon1: doom asked you specifically
fantasymage44: well, fritzy volunteered afterwards
HyDrODooM: i just need some1 to copy it all when we are done in here and send it too me, i would perfer a word pad
fantasymage44: k
fantasymage44: when do you want me to start?
HyDrODooM: select all, copy then paste to word doc
HyDrODooM: then send on aim
fantasymage44: k
HyDrODooM: when we are done

Great Advise bolt but about the 4 player system.. i know all about that and i was planning to have more then 4, just at that certain time i wasn't going to do it, but i'v read on how to ajust the campaign

and about me DMing..i was going to continue doing it and i may still run a group but tams freind is what broke me along with alot of talking and people not paying attention, with all of your new advise and having gone through that first game i think i will give it a second go with that same campaign just a different group since our regular group already started it, i will start from page 1 agian, but i will continue playing in the first group

just so i don't know what happens i will play in the first group then DM the second.
