I can't believe Admund tried to jump Heinrich that one time 

That was the best because I tried to murder you because I had no idea you weren't an NPC.

All props to Rufus for that. All I told him is I wanted t enter the game in a confrontational/unique way, rather than just meet Admund in a pub and he just joins this quest to uncover the enemy destroying the Empire from within. It almost got Admund killed in the process, but was super fun and memorable playing by PM and praying Heinrich didn't axe the snot out of him.

[rufus sparkfire]

Yes, that was fun!


I'm not sure if I've been clear enough in my last post. The vampire has withdrawn to a stone building that is half-submerged in the water. The doorway is underwater so getting in that way will mean swimming. The vampire entered through a narrow crack in the wall in the part above water. It might be possible to widen that crack enough to get through, though it might not.

[Cannonofdoom]

I don't know if my character can swim. 

[commandant]

Mortus is afraid of swimming and mostly dead.

[rufus sparkfire]

Ah, come to think of it none of you can swim. Except Max. Julian still has that elven ring of not drowning though!

[Finlay]

does the ring of not drowning mean we cna walk underwater?
I'm thinking weighing someones feet down with rocks ala diving boots.

Yes.

That should work!

[rufus sparkfire]

Decision needed please!

[Cannonofdoom]

Decision needed please!

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

[rufus sparkfire]

a) Take some time widening the crack in the wall so you can get through.

b) go through the underwater entrance, perhaps using the ring of not drowning.

c) give up and go to the pub.

[Karl Voss of Averland]

I'm assuming Admund doesn't see anything in the water?

No trash monsters like Star Wars?

Edit: Julian be like

[rufus sparkfire]

Sorry. No visible water monsters, no.

[Finlay]

finlay wants diving boot magic ring fun!

julian doesnt.

Interview with Graeme Davis https://awesomeliesblog.wordpress.com/2017/09/28/interview-with-graeme-davis/

[rufus sparkfire]

Interesting!

[Karl Voss of Averland]

I suddenly realized I had not planned how I was going to get the PCs to find the hidden temple. The goblin had to have three legs in order to outrun the PCs, some of whom were significantly faster than a standard goblin, according to the rules.

Now that I read this, the sewer sequences make more sense plot wise. Also I laughed at the goblin being faster with three legs.

Power Behind the Throne started as an AD&D adventure for the campaign that Carl ran for several friends at TSR UK, and it was adapted for WFRP.

I didn't know this, but it makes sense how detailed everything is.

[rufus sparkfire]

The unexplained doppleganger and all the magic items the npcs have give away the d&d origins of that adventure.

I definitely think a three legged goblin would be slower!

[Karl Voss of Averland]

Commandant, what kind of spells does Mortus have? Can she conjure a small flame? Maybe fireballing the open tomb might be too much.

Hmm, I reread my equipment sheet. It says we all have a tinderbox, but that won't help once wet. My sheet says I have a lamp and oil on it. I didn't remember that. With one good arm, he'd keep his hands free for the sword, so it would have to be in his bag. Not sure if it's fair to just "produce" it.

[rufus sparkfire]

Mortus just has fireball!

[Cannonofdoom]

Somebody pass me. Towel and a tinderbox!

[Karl Voss of Averland]

There is a small collection of items at the bottom end of the sarcophagus, near the vampire's feet, but it's hard to see exactly what they are.

Lego pieces, obviously. Only hellspawn can walk on them and live.

[rufus sparkfire]

He hasn't been standing on them! I just meant they are at the bottom end of the sarcophagus.

[Sig]

Decapitate him, take his magic items and then burn him!

[Cannonofdoom]

Cannonofdoom wants magic goodies. Heinrich does not.  Stupid Heinrich.
