@Darthbinks’s adventure:

:robot: :angel: The Core of the Matter (T4) - Part 1

Go behind enemy lines and infiltrate New Phyrexia’s Fair Basilica to sabotage Elesh Norn’s Faith Compleation, that powers their energy shield that even gods cannot pierce. This part will be a race against time with puzzles and also combat.

People who asked me to join (If I forgot you or you wish not to join for any reason dm me.)

Still open 3/5 Spaces:

  • cat4laugh
  • Mexikorn
  • Takanari

Compleation (condition)

This unique condition represents assimilation stages. I will explain the details on the table - just as a quick info: having only 1 rank does not involve a negative risk.
High Compleation ranks can give even insight into the machinations of Elesh Norn, the mother of machines.

Downtime Activities for @Darthbinks’s adventure

Compleated Faith

You tried and failed to pierce the Phyrexian shield yourself. Even though your effort was in vain, you got some insight … although at a great cost.
prerequisite: Cleric or Paladin class
cost: 10 Downtime Days & +1 Compleation

Daemon Dinner Party

Trelmarixian the Black invites you to dinner. You can also bring friends. Everyone at the dinner gets the benefit of a Heroes’ Feast spell.
prerequisite: Overpriced Food DM Award (@Mexikorn)
cost: 10 Downtime Days; other PCs who join have to pay 5 Downtime Days

Phyrexian Perfection

You gave in to Phyrexian teachings to reach perfection - although at a great cost. You can change one of the following:

  • one Ability-Score-Increase/Feat with another Ability-Score-Increase/Feat
  • one Fighting Style with another Fighting Style
  • one spell known or a spell in your spellbook, with another one of equal level

note: your new choice must be eligible (t.m. fulfilling prerequisites)
note: this ‘exchange’ will only affect my tables
cost: 20 Downtime Days, 20.000 gp & +1 Compleation (per change)
special: you could pay no GP but the Compleation cost would be +2 instead (not recommended)

Research Protection against Phyrexian Magic

You gain Advantage on saving throws against Phyrexian spells.
check: Arcana check DC 25 (failure cancels the benefit).
cost: 30 Downtime Days & +1 Compleation (per attempt)

Research the Compleation of the Masses

You heard terrors about Elesh Norn being able to assimilate creatures without much effort. You uncover details & specifics (t.m. mechanics).
check: Medicine check DC 20 (failure cancels the benefit).
cost: 10 Downtime Days (per attempt)

Study Phyrexian Oil

You gain information about Phyrexian oil incl. about enemy abilities that are related to Phyrexian oil (e.g. an oil breath weapon). You can also get this information in the adventures via exposure.
check: Religion DC 20 (failure cancels the benefit)
check: Sleight of Hand check DC 10 (failure gives +1 Compleation)
cost: 10 Downtime Days (per attempt)

We’d love to join your table (with @Saphira only for the 21st). :blush:

I’d bring my dwarwen artificer battle smith Dukrir,

Will be there too, with two of

  • Kalandros (paladin)
  • Blackie and Band (wizard)
  • Vardarak (druid)

I have one question: can I change Kalandros’s fighting style with downtime for his showdown? Since I can’t level him past level 20, I cannot make use of the RAW ability to change fighting styles on level-up…

@Arthilas added a Downtime Activity (Phyrexian Perfection) for that :robot: :angel:

Thank you! 20k gold is too much though, I don’t think anyone can afford that - therefore I’d suggest lowering the gold cost, downtime days and completion cost are fine :wink:

for +2 Compleation (total) there is waiver on the gold cost

just saying that having >1 has some risks

Question if I miss something. Is it needed to bring more than one character? I mean as a mandatory thing, not the usual “Plan B if it dies” sort of thing :sweat_smile:

it is not mandatory
but at least the T3-T4 games could be pretty deadly (choices have consequences^^)

Just wanted to point out, that would be willing to play T1, T2 or T3, not just the latter! :sweat_smile: I would wait up to see the T1 and T2 tables (thus looking forward to play with @Istariel and/or @Anabel)

Would bring one of these characters:

  • T2 Delumathan (Grave Cleric) - preferred
  • T4 Ellos Tildrum (Aberrant Mind Sorlock)
  • T3 Oaklig (LightCleric/FeyWanderer aka Sunlight Warrior)

Ok, then I would like to jump into the T2 table if possible. I have only my old reliable ready, so I will bring it. I will made a second character just in case, but for now, let’s make sure to jump into the fun:

  • T2 - Hyperion IV - Warforged Rune Knight Fighter

I would like to join as well. This would be my first game, so I could create a character for either the T1 or T2 tables.

Id like to join the t4 table, but I can sadly only join for part1. Would that be alright?
