Okay, XP and summary are up.
Senllip leveled up, so I'll need him to roll 1d6+2 for his new HP total, and distribute his thief points, and choose a new WP or NWP.
Auli'i also leveled up, and I've already taken care for her. She'll likely be expecting a raise now, by the way.
I'll go ahead and remove Kallian from the stat block soon. We're now down to three players, should we try and search for a fourth or are we good with what we have now?
Here are my notes for the chapter:
Title and Theme
The title of this chapter was a reference to the party reforming and doing a 'do over' of the slaadi job. Fortunately, they finished the zombie job in one go.
Poor NPCs
First, Bayla was upset that people kept ignoring her, and then Auli'i finds out that nobody actually knows her name. Well, at least that second part has now been remedied.
Kallian is a Cleric?
I thought it was strange that Kallian convinced the party to hire her because of her clerical abilities, and then did not use a single one for the entire time she was in the party. She did not cast a single spell or use any of her granted powers (Incite Berserker Rage or Inspire Fear) once. I actually thought it a pity she did not stick around for the zombie fight, because her Control Undead would have been a great boon. But now I'm not sure if she would have even tried using it or not if she had come along. I'm not sure why Gravity rolled up a cleric and then treated her as a sub-par fighter the whole time, but...I suppose it's a moot point now.
Equilibrium?
So if you remember, I said the Blue Moon needs a minimum of 8 crewmembers to sail normally (less and it's considered a skeleton crew, which greatly hampers your movement and combat ability). The party had Kalana, Senllip, Jaeron, Imrich, Auli'i, Bayla, Liko and Mirinda which was 8 exactly. They then recruited Donato, making 9. But Jaeron and Imrich quit, bringing us back down to 7. But then Kallian and Brax joined up, bringing us back to 9. But then Kallian quit, bringing us back down to 8. So I guess equilibrium was established? Although we lost a PC (Imrich/Kallian) and in return got a level 0 crewman (Donato), so maybe not that great.
Zombie Lord
Of course the boss for the zombie job was a zombie lord, Horizon's greatest fear. See, she once lost a PC to a zombie lord in a previous Octhanian game. They have this horrible stench and if you get too close to one, you have to roll a saving throw or face a consequence (which is determined randomly). Well, Horizon got some bad rolls and as a result not only did her character instantly drop dead, but she reanimated as a zombie the next round. After the battle was won, another PC named Immer then tossed her body overboard instead of finding a way to have her raised. So now, she's pretty nervous around zombie lords. Thankfully, Bayla's spell (Filter) allowed her to safely breath around it.
Divine Favor Updates
Brax earns a point of favor from Gonto for donating to Jaeron rebuilding the Shrine of Obedience.
Relationship Updates
Everyone lost a point with Bayla when they seemingly ignored her in battle, but they all gained that point back when they later praised her for the dust devil. So it basically balanced out.
No change with Auli'i.
