Meh, my mage will make my enemies think they got hit anywhere she wants them to. And possibly my allies. Is it considered unkind to cast illusions into the minds of my allies as well as my enemies?

Important Note:
Does anyone's character actually have pen/paper onto which he or she can actually draw detailed maps?

(I'm aware of the "Background: Guides" that are in the party, but I mean detailed maps)

Do it. I dare you.

Oh, you tempt me so.

I was olanning on picking up that sort of item stuff depending on my backstory. I csn go ahead and pick it up, and write a backstory to match.

Rook will be an 'eager to explore the world and learn its ways' type I think. So mapping dungeons and the like could coke in handy

Oooo an IC thread, tempted to get out of bed to go write a post.

If you're willing to set this in stone, I'll provide a Google Docs map.

Sure, I'll be a map maker.

White text? I hope no one is using subsilver, lol.

The DM is using subsilver :/

I went ahead and requested that Welder add a tag to allow drop shadow for text. If he thinks he can, I'm fine with Silverghost posting in white with shadow.

My character also has parchment & ink, but it's more for journals and notes. He is a ranger, so mapping wouldn't be unusual for him. If you'd like to be a map maker, you are more then welcome to, but Galthir is also equipped to be one. OOC and IC posts forthcoming sometime today.

No harm in both tinkering with it.

I was planning it more as a hobby, but if someone wanted to do it on a "I make maps to sell them" level they can. Or I could.

I'm more interested in knowing which characters are holding maps made for the group in case people get separated/die. Certainly multiple people can be making maps.

Alright. Galthir is a bookish ranger that tends to keep to himself. I don't expect he'd be actively engaging in map-making, so I'll leave that to Bounty Hunter. I'll use brown for my spoken text.

Again, mainly the reason I ask is just to know who has what. If Rook is making maps and gets separated from the group somehow, then the maps go with him :)

It was important that at least one person was, though, or you all might not have maps at all!

BRB splitting the party.


How'd that outhouse smell ?



Planeshaper , you have the same sheet in your sig twice.

Would Sunshine be able to memorize the areas she visits and use Minor Illusion so others can view it like a map? Figured it's worth a shot since her INT score is pretty good and her main skills in life require working with her surroundings closely, so maybe she can memorize her surroundings.

Yeah, I got called to dinner. Will fix it soon.

I would let you make INT checks on a case by case basis. But this set of mines is a bit too maze-like to memorize it on the timeline you guys are probably on.

The people with Guide backgrounds will still have their abilities to know the "general direction and location" of things, just not necessarily the specific layout.

Aradon, I think I have you positioned where you wanted to be on the map.

If it's the square with the trap on it, then definitely! Hadn't seen the map though, didn't realize this was a luxurious 10x10 ft outhouse :P

Troubleshooting:
From the Module wrote:
If the purple worm swallows one or more characters, resolve their fates quickly. In all likelihood, they are dead meat. (That’s what they get for not heeding the warning sign on the outhouse door!) Players who lose characters to the purple worm can remain in the game by choosing or rolling up new characters or renaming the ones they already have. Let them contrive an unlikely story to explain the sudden arrival of these new adventurers, then move on to the next encounter.


Aradon, congratulations on being the first death of the adventure!

You can roll up a new character if you would like, or simply rename the one you have. We can make up some contrived story for your new character's arrival on FB or something :)
