And that wraps up chapter 7. The party is now level 7.
And like last time, I am taking this opportunity to check in on everyone and see where they are standing on this game, whether they want to continue or not, etc.

*Patentiely waits to hear from Bunny, before celebrating the fact that Chantilly unlocked Evasion right before facing a dragon-like creature*
Also wow, this chapter was short. I wonder if skipping half the building and quickly accepting a deal with Talia helped us getting through it quickly.

Pretty much, yeah. There were a number of rooms the party never looked in. And yeah, you had the option to work with Talia or fight her. She was sort of needed, however, to point the party in the right direction, so the module suggests her leaving behind a paper trail in the event the party just kills her and never questions or speaks to her.

Uh, that came as quite the surprise. I mean, a level up from a nap, a talk and then another nap is quite weird. The talk itself felt so weird, if the party just says "Screw Talia, we'll keep the Mask" I wonder what she's going to do about it.
Anyway! I'll stick around even though I truly hoped we could get some stuff to loot this time given that we're headed for the big final fight. But I already raised this point multiple times now, so I'm not going to expound on this again. Let's see how it goes and then I'll decide if I want to stay for the next book.

Yeah, that's milestone leveling for you.
Anyway, fair warning, chapter 8 is pretty long, perhaps making up for how brief the previous chapter was.

Uh, that came as quite the surprise. I mean, a level up from a nap, a talk and then another nap is quite weird. Hey, if the book wants to give a couple of level-ups like this..I'll gladly accept them... The talk itself felt so weird, if the party just says "Screw Talia, we'll keep the Mask" I wonder what she's going to do about it. I feel like for her it's a win whatever happens..If we get wiped out..fine, we were enemies in the first place so who cares. If we win and get the mask, she gets her rival murdered without blood on her hands and the mask, and either allies out of us, or our heads to bring to whoever the leaders are. If we win and take the mask for ourselves, she still gets her rival out and could even get a chance to prove her leader her worth "let me show you how I'll deal with the people that killed Rezmir" (I'm sure she's arrogant enough to think she could handle us thanks to the powers her dragon daddy bestowed upon her). I'm not sure she really cares about the mask, she just wanted to shake a situation she was clearly unhappy with. If she just killed us there nothing would have changed for her, she would have still been stuck in the woods guarding some teleporting stones. Daos will we get chapter summaries back? I noticed we didn't get one for the previous chapter, and I miss them (they are very useful to refresh my memory when I want to check something that happened months/years ago).

Did I not post a summary?
Huh, I guess I didn't. I definitely wrote one. I guess I forgot to actually post it. Unfortunately, when I start a new summary, I delete the old one. So the Chapter 6 summary is gone forever now. I can put up Chapter 7's summary when I finish it, though.

Also, I wanted to say... I hope we haven't seen the last of Caelin. Even if Zero were to never come back (and at this point sadly I don't think he will), I'd still like to see Caelin back, since he was a pretty important part of the party stories, especially with Eliana.. I feel it would be weird for him to just disappear like that. I know right now would be hard for him to find us (since he's still probably at Bog Luck's roadhouse and there are a castle, a teleporting circle and a hunting lodge between us) but maybe in the future our roads could cross again.

If she just killed us there nothing would have changed for her, she would have still been stuck in the woods guarding some teleporting stones. Might be so, but I didn't get the "I'm a major player in this story" vibes. Well, guess we'll see. Also, I wanted to say... I hope we haven't seen the last of Caelin. Even if Zero were to never come back (and at this point sadly I don't think he will), I'd still like to see Caelin back, since he was a pretty important part of the party stories, especially with Eliana..

I know right now would be hard for him to find us (since he's still probably at Bog Luck's roadhouse and there are a castle, a teleporting circle and a hunting lodge between us) but maybe in the future our roads could cross again. And here I am disagreeing. To be more clear: I don't have anything against Caelin popping up again sooner or later but I don't really want to deal with the hostility Caelin showed Henry so many times. If Caelin comes back and is friendly to indifferent to Henry, fine by me; otherwise I won't play anymore.

Nooo..rip ;_; Anyway, here's Chantilly's updated sheet. what happenened in this level up: - +HPs; I'll take average as usual;
- Increased Sneak Attack: now at 4d6;
- Evasion. Yay! Something tells me I'll need it pretty soon.
- One more 1st level spell slot, yay!
- Two more 2nd level spell slot, double yay!
- A new spell known: Invisibility.
- The chance of swapping out one of my old known spells for a new one. I was originally going to swap out Hideous Laughter for Blur, but then I found this spell which is too stupid, chaotic, and kender-like to ignore. It's not from one of the book you have, Daos, but I have to ask you if I can still get it anyway because it's just sound too perfect for Chantilly: Nathair's Mischief (it's even from a dragonlance-themed book!)

I agree in theory. Typically, though, I don't really like playing other people's characters. Which is why I dropped Laughter, Conard, Perceval, Iro, Garald, Benyt, and Mattias, as well. I would need to put some thought into how Caelin would return. I wouldn't want him to rejoin the party. But he could pop up later on, maybe after the next chapter. I'd need to think on what role he would play, and how that would go down, though. I am here, if you are allowing me.. Are you able to level up your character, or do you need me to do it again?
