Split the HP now - I had 8 so it wasn't hard . I think I gained 5 levels total in skills, but I admit I am too skint with spending my XP - will probably spend more at the beginning of next game.

Good stuff.
BTW, You got some kudos for the roleplay.  Nice job.

And we are on tonight on Roll20.net, Celtricia.  
9pm-ish

am down in Florida training staff.
so I think I'll be able to game tomorrow, but might be a little rocky.

I just wanted to add that after 20+ full sessions and 30+ including intermezzo sessions, in many ways, I am more proud of a game that is more based on character development while still including adventure and such than I though possible.
The continued adventure of the first year students going through their first year of the Collegium Arcana, the school of magic, has been about as 'literary quality' an adventure as I've seen or read about.  I look forward to how the game continues to change and grow.

Somehow, despite me traveling and others also being busy, we got session 23 in.

It was all a conversation with Enchanter Perrold Bin, of the Reapers Guild in the Collegium.  The early stuff was mainly him understanding what was going on in the Dexies' explorations, and explaining why they should not be expelled.
Later, there was some deeper understandings as to the statuettes; that the three they have are part of a set of 12, and of what some other items really are....and getting a few clues to how they relate.  The mysteries are not really solved at all with a few more clues, but the trails to the solutions are coming.

for those that have not followed, this game has the players taking the roles of first year students in a huge, ancient school of magic.  Much of the game time is spent learning and their schooling, but there are also ancient mysteries that, late at night, some f the players are uncovering.

I loaded up full group session 23 on the Collegium Page, and we will be on tomorrow night, as we finish the conversation with Enchanter Bin, and he drops one more surprise....

We completed session 24 last night.
The group finished their creepy but useful meeting with Enchanter Perrold Bin of the Reapers Guild.  The Necromancer shared scary information, and then tells them he is moving them from the squat, utilitarian Dexdemit Toad Hall to Kravent Hall, an upperclassmen hall, for their safety.

Enchanter Bin..."for, well, there is obviously much going on. My cursory looks show many spirits are locked or muted when we speak of some of what you are finding"
Christo Giggles
Enchanter Bin..."young lady, tell the mummy to leave Jurgen alone. he's properly terrified of that brute"
Christo..."he's a bit of an idiot, Sir. I'll try. He keeps saying..'black and toasty', over and over again...and I can't well see what he is bothering"
The elder omwo nods. "ah. well, in any case...I think there is much going on. and so, I have already taken one step for you."
(To Les'z): you suddenly hear some buzzing and a gaggle of voices all talking, then it cuts out
(From Les'z): hey is it directed at me or us
Pholian Mar: "What do you mean, sir?"
(To Pholian Mar): suddenly, the winged, blackened dead hobyt child appears at your feet...he runs behind you
(To Les'z): you just hear it, as if from a huge distance, and you get the feeling it came from many directions to this building
 E.Bin..."I'm removing you from Toad Hall"
Pholian Mar: I jump up instinctively
"What?"


the group retreats, spots some 'observers'...

Grfank...."buck up, man, be a bit Shabuto...we'll get through this"
Pholian Mar: "Yeah. Ghosts have nothing on exams."
 Bosh, " 'zactly. we still have to survive those"
(To Pholian Mar): roll detect
Pholian Mar: rolling d100
(3)= 3
LordVreeg (GM): you all are back out on the sunny quad
(To Pholian Mar): whoa...51 exp.
(To Pholian Mar): in a set of trees, mainly vneersberry, to your right, you note 2 figures, gnomics, watching you leave Dilvish ha;;
(From Pholian Mar): Wearing familiar sashes, no doubt?
(To Pholian Mar): yes, strangely....and you see also a dark taller figure behind them, in a very dark, green cloak
(From Pholian Mar): Does it look ephemeral or not? The dark lad figure
(To Pholian Mar): yes, with that roll, you note it does not add to the shade of the tree, and you can 'sense' it is existent in the House of Death
(From Pholian Mar): Wo does it seem to be observing?
(To Pholian Mar): a snide voice...."they don't give up, child. "
(From Pholian Mar): "Which ones...the swords, or the ones behind them" I mutter
(To Pholian Mar): "both. I think they are agents, of some sort. The revenant...not sure"
(From Pholian Mar): "Well, thanks for nothing new."
 Christo..."are we going to skip the dance tonight Pholian?"
Gregoir, groans.." forgot all about that"
Pholian Mar: I look at Les, Gregoir and BOsh, waiting for the obligatory wine joke
 Bosh.."we need to blow off some steam, and Woerter know Pholian needs to dance"
Pholian Mar: "As long as I avoid tables, I should be good"
LordVreeg (GM): the day is brightening.
Red Gerin's light is eclipsed by the golden warmth of Tribin
Les'z: "yes Pholian just falls anyway" (late dance joke)
LordVreeg (GM): the group is moving towards Toad hall
Pholian Mar: "Thanks Les"

No worries, see ya next time!

Rincewind, after looking through some notes
(That sounds dangerous
LordVreeg (GM): let's say this is made of steel and brass, with green dragon heads on the corners, a family heirloom
Rince W.: I'd ask how much gold and/or electrum is in it, but that'd be unbecoming, wouldn't it

I want to spend a little time on your background,

Sure . Throw me any links you have on the wiki about Gwynellians as well, please.

I've decided that we're running an intermezzo week coming up, since the timing is finally right.
Though no complaints about the tension and regrounding in the last one.  Much to be done as the students reground in the attic of Kravent Hall.
