[QUOTE="jasper, post: 8035438, member: 277"] DDAL00-10 Session Trust and Understanding Day 1 and 2 PC Killed 2.75 Monster Killed 23 Gain a level. 6,000 gp. 20 downtime days. Magic Items Talisman of Ultimate Evil, Scroll of Antilife shell, Scroll of Geas, Scroll of Heal. NOTE Dug and Lister Simons ONLY DIED ONCE EACH. Story Award Favored of the Worm. You like worms and undead and they like you. If you been wormed, every morning DC 10 Con save. Fail and you have an automatic death save failure. This tier 4 so only a Wish can remove this. I had a strong group of four. Baulder Cleric wizard with Iron Golem and simulacrum. Herkidi arcane trickster rogue. Lister Simons Cleric druid sorcerer soda jerk. Dug Paladin. The only changes I made were most monsters had max hit points. I had some drop in after starting and leave before the end of the game. The group has been hired by Dae’lomdel to explore something.
