Hunker around the fire and wait out the weather.

Out of the cover of the sleet emerge 9 apes wielding stone picks and shovels.
Ill intent is obviously seen in their faces.

Karla shoots and misses with an arrow but Kallisto hits with both of hers.
Verg throws a volley of ice darts. The first 2 strike an ape but on the third
he slips on a patch of accumulated sleet on falls on his face.

Conan winds up and drops a fireball that is well placed and engulfs all of the apes.

Talos casts Hold Monster and freezes 3 of them.

Arsalion and Asulfr hit with their missiles. Inger cleaves the air in front on the ape
he's engaged in melee with. Which is better than Vig who sends his weapons flying and has

Inger is hit with a stone pick and Vig with a shovel.

The apes miss in their attackes.

Inger takes 2 swings and both hitting nothing.

It totally depends upon how you want to play the paladin.

I had an Amazonian paladin that was probably in a dubious crew of folks.

She definitely would mess people up but wouldn't let the group kill captured folks and such.

Of course, she also jumped into battle at the drop of a hat. I mean, what would a disciple of Artemis do otherwise :-)

She also did a forced march to drag some party members back to get some healing and such for them while she was dealing with some disease or other. I think she Cured Disease a rat bite on a party member, did the march while dealing with a rat bit of her own, and then heal herself at the end. I think.

It was many years ago, but I played her as loyal, fierce, and not taking any guff from anyone. lawful courageous vs lawful stupid :-)

Emmett checks the door that killed Torcan, unlocks it, and opens it.
It opens into a laboratory. Shelves are filed with books, jars, and alchemical
equipment.

RETCON (2016-11-13): Emmett is blind so no doing visual thief things. Ruling that the door
is busted into.

There is a large stone vat in the middle of the room with a heavy stone lid.

It is decided to go through the door in the eastern wall.

There is a hallway leading to another door.

RETCON (2015-11-13 Emmett is blind so he wouldn't do this. Someone else did but
survived) Emmett walks to the door and falls through a trap door with it's cover closing.

It is decided to lash Verica with a rope and have her walk on it to trigger it.

No one blocks the cover open and it severs the rope and Verica falls and lands on 3
spikes.

A barrel is rolled over the trap door triggering it and Verica's halberd is used to
secure it open. Vig is lowered down and checks on Verica and Emmett.

Vig notices that Verica is bleeding a silvery liquid instead of blood. It looks like
quicksilver.

Emmett is helped out and Verica's body is recovered.

Talos reiterates that his robes and other belongings have to be somewhere. If they
are found he can recover his emergency spellbook and be of use to the party.

The areas explored so far are ransacked but nothing is found.

Conan and Verg each try to lift off the heavy, stone lid on the stone vat but fail.

Verg has the idea to use Hold Portal on the trap door. Conan suggests rolling several
barrels over it to make sure the trap is indeeded held. Also make sure they go to the
other side so they can be used to test to make sure the spell is still working on the trap
when they need to get back across.

RETCON (2016-11-13 Emmett is blind so Vig just busts door open) After getting across the
trap Emmett checks out the door at the far end of the hallway.
Emmett doesn't think there are any traps to the locked door at the end of the hallway.
He is unable to pick the lock. Vig

it is dusk

The gang goes inside and investigates.

Verica finds a trap door under the rug in front of the fire place.

Torcan and Vig check out the 2 rooms that are spartanly appointed
bed rooms.

Torcan finds a trap in the door in the anteroom to the north and
he triggers it trying to disable it.

He starts coughing, sneezing, and gagging.

Vig casts cure light wounds and Verica casts Dispel Magic.

The fit continues to Torcan. Vig throws some cures at him
but Torcan succombs to the fit.

Verica pours one out, says some prayers to Raven and Rel, and then
loots his body.

They decide to try the east door. Verica doesn't find any traps
and it doesn't have a lock. She has kallisto open it.

There is a short hallway with 6 reinforced doors with small,
a barred window in each (3 are to the north and 3 to the south).

The raven in the cage when asked by Verg if he understands him
says "Of course I fucking do"

He warns the party to not pull the lever in the room.

He mention his name is Talos and briefly goes over how a Dispel Magic
or Remove Curse while his body is nearby should let his mind swap
with the mind of his raven familiar.

Verica and Verg need to rest and prepare those spells.

The night passes by quietly.

Run into the driverless wagon again in the morning.

It must have stopped shortly after seeing it at night.

Torcan casts Speak with Animals to talk with the madman.

"Are you hungry?"

"No"

"here's rock, drop it when you want to talk"

It looks at him

"Tap me if you want to talk"

"No"

"Yes"

"We are going to stay put until the fog lifts"

A sabre tooth tiger emerges from the fog and attacks Torcan. It rakes
him with all 4 claws and bites him as well. Torcan is barely able to survive
this and is able to back away as Conan drops a fireball on the tiger.

Kallisto steps into melee and strikes a blow.

Verg is able to finish it off with a volley of ice darts.

Everyone that can, casts healing on Torcan.

Torcan takes one of the large teeth from the tiger.

The rest of the day goes by.

The tiger runs up to Asulfr.

Everyone, I have just updated the pc_gen app.

A quick test shows it working (for very simple values of working).

The biggest changes are adding support for output to the 3e PDF character sheet or to a markdown file.

Markdown is a text file that is can then be rendered into HTML and many other formats.

I have also added prepared spell lists.

The are 2 ways to do this.

The first way is to add stuff inside <>'s next to a spell.

For example, Verg the cryomancer has this for his spell list:

Spells:
- Magic Ice Dart<1,1,1,2 test>
- Freezing Hands<1>
- Detect Magic
- Hold Portal<1,2 test>
- Identify
- Ice Axe<1,1,2 test>
- Glitterdust<1,1>
- Ray of Enfeeblement<2 test>
- Slow<1,1,1,2 test,2 test,2 test>

This will create 2 spell lists. One will have a "name" of "1" and the other "2 test".

The first list sorted asciibetically (yes that's an IT word) and only the first list is added to the prepared spells tables on the PDF files.

Another way that is probably a bit clearer is like so:

'prepared spells 1 offensive':
- Magic Ice Dart
- Magic Ice Dart
- Magic Ice Dart
- Freezing Hands
- Hold Portal
- Ice Axe
- Ice Axe
- Glitterdust
- Glitterdust
- Slow
- Slow
- Slow

'prepared spells 2 testing':
- Detect Magic
- Identify
- Identify
- Identify
- Identify
- Ice Axe
- Ice Axe
- Glitterdust
- Ray of Enfeeblement
- Slow
- Slow
- Slow

I need to update the example character sheet (and make that documentation "better") but give things a try and let me know what breaks or is incorrect.

Everyone decides to hunker down and wait for the fog to pass.

Just past noon a giant python slithers in.

Verg casts Slow on it. Vig rushes up and misses badly.
Conan throws fire missiles at it.

Emmett shoots with his rifle and it explodes in his face and
gets blinded.

The python attacks Vig but misses.

Verg throws his Ice Axe at the snake. Arsalion and Kallisto
are able to finish off the python.

The healers determine they can't do anything to help with
Emmett's blindness.

Patches is not up to the task of helping Emmett, but Verg
will help.

At dusk a middle aged man in tattered clothes wanders by the
edges of the light cast by the camp fire.

Verg hollers out hello and startles him.

"Oh, hi there", he replies.

He introduces himself as Caedmon the Wise from Gal City. He is
a sage that studies celestial events and the fauna that are
affected by them. In this case the aurorus moth emerging as a
result of the comet appearing.

After a little discuss the party decides to go with Caedmon to find
the moth. Verg stays with Emmett and Patches.

Over the next four hours they try to catch it a few times but aren't
able to capture it. Caedmon gives up the search for the night and
they head back.
