The Campaign Builder's Guild

and we are on tonight....9pm eastern, chapt 16

Not to double post, or anything...
but session 16 was magnificent last night.

The game has continued on the path towards a school socio-drama, mystery and spookiness.  I've posted Session 15 and Session 16 on the GS site. 

some fun parts..
AS the PCs finally have their spellbooks given back and now actually have a few spells in there.  A big event...
(To Les'z): your spellbooks just got given back, you have perfect note and Laugh in yours
Vee: "Hmm? Oh, I got Lodestone and Zipper."
(To Vee): you can hear, however, almost in the back of your head, an occasional waft of music again
LordVreeg (GM): Jessie.." ReallY? I Got Find Water and...Pisswater."
Pholian Mar: "Pisswater?"
LordVreeg (GM): this breaks up everyone...
lots of laughing
she laughs as well. "I'm trying to read it..."
"I guess it makes water pretty undrinkable"
Bosh.." I would say...I will watch my drinking round you....."
Pholian Mar: "That's an odd spell."
LordVreeg (GM): Jessie gives a lopsided smile, " well, these are supposed to be the basics, built to practise one"
Les'z: I got Perfect Note and Laugh
LordVreeg (GM): Grfank, " perfect for you"
Gregoir, " no way, Les'z doesn't even need a spell for Laughing..."
Christo..."well I am not tempted in the least. I can already see 2 spirits wandering around the GQ, I AM NOT BRINGING THEM OVER FOR A CHAT"
Pholian Mar: I chuckle at Gregoir's words "True, true that."

when the organ music starts to drive Vee a bit crazy...
Vee: "Anyone else hear any music?
Pholian Mar: "No, and I sure hope I won't."
LordVreeg (GM): Jessie, "and tomorrow is Fastak, we'll be over that way anyways"
Pholian Mar: "Last thing I need is more crazy."
LordVreeg (GM): Bosh, " Nope. got a tune in your head?"
Vee: "
"Organ music.
Pholian Mar: "By Llum, I have no intention of ending up in a big house listening to the animated armours" he continues to rant on
Les'z: "whose organ?"
LordVreeg (GM): Christo..."no, I see a few spirits outside, but nothing close enough to hear"
Pholian Mar: "Oh by Pablar's mercy, not organ music. Organ music is never good."
"It's all ominous."
Les'z: "only if it is in a minor key"
LordVreeg (GM): Grfank.." More Moog's mercy, but still I hear nothing. How loud to you is it, Vee?"
(From Les'z): nobody liked my organ comment
(To Les'z): hahahah
Vee: "Loud enough to be clear."
Pholian Mar: "So...is it low or high key?"
(To Vee): comes and goes, but the organ is playing some very old song....
Les'z: it must be an Artificer Organ
(To Vee): http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_GDFV-eqGY
Vee: "It's organ music. Sounds really old."
LordVreeg (GM): christo..." is it strange that it cheers me up someone else other than Pholain and I is havng this experience?"
Pholian Mar: I chuckle nervously, blushing a little, then nod to Les'z.


then the group decides on a late night foray...
LordVreeg (GM): Bosh..."To Christo's point....if the white mist starts coming up, I am so running my ass back here and playing Bael"
Vee: "Sword Arcanas, I think."
Pholian Mar: I pale a little as Bosh mentions that "Yeah...we all do that if the mist rises."
LordVreeg (GM): Grfank...." I am not familair with any of this"
Pholian Mar: "Especially if that horned odd guy comes around, then just run. Seriously, the rest is just creepy but he's....something else."
LordVreeg (GM): Gregoir..."Long story. "
Les'z: He wasn't visible to me
Pholian Mar: "Trust me Les'z, I'd much more have your talent than mine."
(From Pholian Mar): I was so tempted to say "yours doesn't rip off people's hands" but too early to say that IC :P
Les'z: I am not sure what my talent is good for yet (sigh)
LordVreeg (GM): Bosh.."Grfank, we had a run in with some gnomic Swords Arcanic,,,and they've tracked us ever since
Pholian Mar: "Well, at least it doesn't...but yeah, those jerks."
I pick up some energy after coming back to the familiar topic
"I have some scores to settle with one of them, so I'm all for going out."
(To Pholian Mar): bottom of here....for the image http://celtricia.pbworks.com/w/page/67725545/Collegium%20Arcana%20Play%20Notes
(From Les'z): what is it going to take to learn these spells
(From Pholian Mar): I remember him - I also remember he was a leader of some banned fraternity that dealt in blood, just can;'t remember it's name.
(To Les'z): well, you have 2
(From Les'z): well, i am thinking there is more to it than just memorizing them?
Pholian Mar: "So...Vee?"
(From Les'z): i can cast out of the book?
(From Les'z): or do we study them
(To Les'z): once it is in your book, and your book is close by, you can cast it
LordVreeg (GM): Bosh..."I'm....taking my book with me"
Christo..." yeah...not me. If I need to find a spirit, something is VERY wrong"
Vee: "I'm still not sure why you want to go out."
LordVreeg (GM): Bosh stops dead
Pholian Mar: "Why, you don't?"
LordVreeg (GM): Gregoir..." we were going out to find the music"
Gregoir..."if it is going to make it hard to sleep"
(From Pholian Mar): I look at Gregoir veeeery closely when he's not looking
LordVreeg (GM): Bosh.." But if you don't need to, all good"
Vee: "I guess I'll go. Since only I can hear it..."
(From Pholian Mar): Doesn't he act a little -too- keen?
(To Pholian Mar): he seems eager to do things, yes
Pholian Mar: "Well, I'm up for anything that won't be my fault for a change."
LordVreeg (GM): Gregoir..." Ok. Me, Bosh, Pholian, Vee...Anyone else"
Bosh..." I like how you just assume I'm going..." in a joking tone

Next group session in a week. No intermezzo, due to the group being 'In Medias'. About to explore the source of the organ music out in the Golden Quad in the dark night.....LLum (or others) I can still fit you in, bt our next session is next thursday night

Collegiumists, we play tonight, as the Dexdemits try to find where the Organ Music is coming from!

http://celtricia.pbworks.com/w/page/67725545/Collegium%20Arcana%20Play%20Notes

Updated play page and added session 17 to the linked pages. As we said, we will be playing weekly until this 'adventure' period ends, since we cannot do intermezzo sessions whist the group is investigating Gronth Hall.

For any who are interested in this game, we probably will have room in a month to add in.

Gronth hall exploration online tonight!!!!   be there or be a platonic solid.

Session 18 in the books.
Spooky exploration in the bricked passages under Gronth Hall.
moving through an arched library, and the group of students dealt with their first Combat, when a pair of 2' wide spiders jumped at them...

and they found a white cat.

Session 19 next week.

Most certainly on for tomorrow night...when, despite preparing a 64 salespersons for a huge Memorial day event and getting the marketing ready for it, I will continue with the first year student's exploration of the strange tunnels under Gronth Hall.  I'm enjoying the strange, old stuff the group keeps finding...

What are the stats for the dagger Vee found? I think you said it's a rondel dagger?

"it is flat-bladed, with a white bone handle...the blade is sparkling black silver, and the guard has 2 green stones. sort of a flat Rondel dagger"

FullGroup Session 19 last night...
Spooky, crazy...fun.

" Gregoir..."something about the history of the Cairn Night...
Pholian Mar: I look at Les'z to confirm
Les'z: the scroll is in Makerspeak, I guess you know more about ti than i do
Greg
Gregoir.."Cairn Night...undead hordes...yo. Tough scroll..
'Bosh..."I'd give my left tit to Inkmisa to take that back with us"
(To Vee): yes
Vee: "Let me give it a try."
Pholian Mar: "Why do you assume we can't?
Les'z: Are you talking about the scroll Bosh?
or the cat
(From Vee): Vee has 1 level in Magetongue (+8 bonus), and 2 levels in Basic Read/Write (+9 bonus).
Bosh..." the scroll....so amazing..."
(To Vee): ok...come over and look, and roll
the cat bounces over to Vee

Vee walks over and takes a look at the scroll.
Les'z: We have accumulated a number of things, why not a scroll too
Pholian Mar: I chuckle "I think the cat's already chosen the new owner"


A dynamic that has been huge is that some of the players are sensitive to certain types of magic, so they see and hear things the others don't...makes for a really, really weird and surreal experience. 2 of the students are Necromantic sensitives, so they carry on conversations with spirits...
" Bosh..."Redit is "ownership" in Anarch...and Venolvian comes from Anarch."
Les'z: "and for the record, that cat appears to be a cat"
the white cat jumps on top of the old desk
Pholian Mar: "Well, Mentat sounds kind of obvious..."
"Given Les'z talents"
(To Pholian Mar): sly voice..."someone has a fingerbone you'd be far more useful with...maybe we could find a way to get it."
Christo..." the idiot also thinks we should have brought Kaffee"
Les'z: "so Bosh you think Rekit in Venolvian is the same as Redit in Anarch?"
(From Pholian Mar): I whisper "A fingerbone? And tell the way."
Bosh..." yep, based on some other derivations
Pholian Mar: "Why should we bring Kaffee? Since when do the spirits drink."
"Maybe it means - It's supposed to belong to the Mind Talented?"
(To Pholian Mar): well, the snotty one..the snotty omwo...really could use to join the spirit world....
(From Pholian Mar): I look between Vee and Les'z. Does Les'z have more snot than usual?
Christo...."no, it's just the Idiot's way of saying we sit and ponder well...he's a jerk"
(To Pholian Mar): ok. funny. no,
(From Pholian Mar): I mumble "Did you just suggest I should kill my friend?"
(From Pholian Mar): "Or that there's another spirit trapped here?"
Pholian Mar: "At least he's one jerk, I have four."
(To Pholian Mar): the sly voice...."kill? so harsh...eliminate."
Pholian Mar: "How about you go eat a duck, you qack?"
"Uh, sorry."
Christo laughs....", well, I mean the mummy...I call him the idiot, as he is so simple minded"
Les'z: "you people need to quit hearing things"

http://celtricia.pbworks.com/w/page/...20Play%20Notes the links to the play page and the sessions

And we will be on tonight, as the exploration of the basement of Gronth Hall continues...roll20.net, celtricia, at 9pm eastern...in what is becoming a mystery hidden by enigma.

Full Session 20, oh, with a really bad injury, the fun of the late night exploration is replaced by cold, hard reality, and the students needing to loudly enter and seek help from a dorm....the play centered around the (uber-lawful) players spilling the beans about their illicit exploration into the basement of Gronth hall, and the attack of the cloaked undead...
and then, getting Gregoir Healed, while the white mist comes up.....
