You guys okay to continue without him?
I am fine with it if everyone is.
I'm fine with going on. I suggest NPCing him till the end of the fight then either having him keep the camp and replacing him with another player if he's not back by then.
I liked him, and he might be important to this fight. But yes, going on without him is better than not going on. :)
I would like to get a replacement if we can. Maybe from the semi-finalists if possible.
Just noticed this, i'd laugh if the antipaladin came strolling up. I'm trying to think back to the semi's and wondering who could come back and not be pissed at someone in the party for killing them. I know i accounted for a ranger early on and a monk in the battle royal but i also kinda left a druid to burn to death and a cleric to drown, glad i restrained myself from rage rampage in the last fight now.
*shakes fist*
Back from Labor Day weekend, will update tonight.
Welcome back, did the new job turn out well btw Luc. I never thought to ask when you popped back online.
Anyonr heard from lucendar? He doesn't seem to have posted in any of his games for a while, i'm guessing its an issue with his net due to the storms but i'm eager to get back to raging at orcs!
Good to hear from you again Luc, i thought work had sucked you back into its deep dark hole never to return!
Thanks, Menas, thankfully I made my reflex save and avoided the pit! By the way, if anybody has any creative suggestions how to get one of the fallen contestants back into the party to replace Haterivet, I'm all ears. Just PM me. Wracking my brain and I can't think of any creative means, maybe one of you can surprise me.

1) Mad Teleporter Wizard? :)
2) Make them one of the prisoners we are rescuing. Maybe that to the death thing was somewhat staged. Good fighters might be too valuable to just let die for little gain. One of the loosers was sent ahead to clear the path?
3) There is the idea that backup has been arranged for when we inevitably loose people. Hat bits it in this fight and we get reinforcements summoned from our wizard friend that is with us?
For the record, Hat, if you read this, we want you back.
Temporary ressurection via a moderately powerful magical ritual involving supplication to the patron god of the revivee. Good plot hook for the favour the wizard/person/party owe to a powerful outsider for the boon and a good way to embroil even good characters like Justified into serving an evil end. Maybe even having a party member beholden to someone other than the Baron to drive the story in a different way and create some friction in the party, like one of the powerful patrons who gambled on the event brings somone back to serve his own ends.
If it were my game i would reopen the recruitment thread and pm everyone who died in the fight to survive and get them to post their own story about why and how they ended up in the group. Then i'd pick tbe best response, 15 brains are better than six.

Yep, that could be a good idea. It would be interesting to have someone killed by one of the party members back. I'm sure the baron can have someone resurrected temporarily with the means to kill him/her later if he tries to betray him. For the Baron, that would mean more control over the party.
Well for me the only dead characters i hsd an issue with were the Kutites because they disturbed my sleep and they are just too emo for Menas chaotic tastes. But brining back a character with an alternate agenda could be very interesting, i'm still pretty pissed the baron wouldn't lend me money to gamble on myself and Menas doesn't realy care to much about his daughter, he's in it for the cash/fame/sex/drugs/rock/roll. Not necessarily in that order.
If we were giving the option of messing with the Baron Menas would probably jump at the chance, its practically in his religion. Hell when we get her back i plan on holding her hostage in the city untlil he pays us double, wizard fool can't touch us inside the undead city!
(I might be kidding about the hostage thing)
It would be interesting, story wise, to hav.e the antiPaladin back. Someone for Justified to clash with in character and all. But I am not sure that is what we need in the party. Maybe the cleric? I seem to recall she was the last to die, but I may have that wrong.
Yes, Quain did it. It was a sort of a sore point as I could have tried to get Haterivet down.... That would make thing quite awkward for Quain, but he's up for it. In total I think Quain killed three other PCs... The more dangerous are not always the ones you think off :-)

I was quite happy to voice the threats while Quain did some killing, its not always the one with the loudest mouth you have to watch either. I think Quian killing the cleric was an act of self preservation though, i think she was the only one on low hp that you could reliably hit. Since you were on your last legs yourself it was Hat, her or you.
Orcs once again prove to be the most deadly critter in the bestiary. Bloody ferocity.
You could recruit someone that is willing to take over Haterivet (maybe use the same race/class/profile image and a name that is a letter or two off of the previous player. We ran into a similar situation in a Serpent Skull game I am in. Cobrius Jank was Corbius Jank rather deftly.
Are we waiting on Just? He's posting in my kingmaker game if you want to give him a poke.
While I like your suggestion, Kwin, I don't want to post a recruitment thread solely for that purpose. Know of anyone willing to jump in?
Holy crap! That orc archer has an effective 27+ hp, and theres another one!
Not offhand. I'll do a bit of poking around to see if I can find a good candidate. Anyone in any of your other game threads that might be interested?

Oh, I don't think that's not so hard to believe. Don't orcs have ferocity, or whatever its called. The same thing wolverines and badgers have where they keep fighting until they are at negative CON hit points? Through in extra hit points and CON if raging or a point or two of DR...
I wasn't surprised as much as worried, Just might bleed out before we put them down. Hopefully we can down the melee ones slightly quicker before we eat a falchion crit from a str 18 beasty, it woumd be bad for my health.
I am still here actually, been popping in to check what's happening every once in a while, was sad when you guys stopped. I would be willing to make a reappearance if needed :)
I even know how to do it story wise too!
I'm guessing Lucendars repeated willpower saves vs work are not as easy to pass as he suspected.
Had the same problem for the last few days myself.
Still here, just my pc at home is having problems. Should be fixed by this weekend.
Trying to dot again... This one keeps falling off of my focus list.
PC is finally clean and files recovered, expect update tonight.
Thats good to hear, i could use a bit more orc smashing. I think Justi has been teeteringon the brink of death for 2 weeks, like a soap opera.
Quain, get a charge off that wand you carry before I bleed out...
Now that one or two orcs are down, that's my plan. I'm just near you so I can draw out a wand and heal you in the same round.
I'm glad you've been able to get the tech difficulties sorted out; I know how painful that can be to navigate through. Whenever you are ready, Kwin will be there to pull their bacon out of the fire. :)

Mmm, bacon...
Hang on you just killed johnny 1hp, i respect a halfling who can shiv but you could have thrown a dagger at it 3 rounds ago and finished it off! :p
I cannot imagine the character begging but as a player...
Lucendar i implore you to update the game, i must smash orcs and get the this undead city of doom. The game is so much fun and right now we're still in the intro, we demand more needless pcs deaths!
