Chapter 9

[Solomoriah]

Okay, sounds like you are all sleeping in the cellar, and you are planning to stand watches. I'll need to know what the watch order is.

[jstater]

Grumm will take the first watch (I guess 2 hours). If we have iron spikes, I suggest pounding a few into the floor and then lacing them with rope, our captive beneath them, spread eagle, so he can't move a muscle.

[Sir Bedivere]

Timorel will take second watch.

[Blazeguard]

Rykken will take 3rd.

[jstater]

Will 2nd watch screw up Timorel getting the spell - does he need 8 solid hours of sleep?

[Hywaywolf]

I'm always for the MU and cleric taking last watch so they can spend that time studying and or praying

[Sir Bedivere]

I've always assumed that if a MU/Cleric is preparing spells, he can't effectively be on watch.

I'd be interested in hearing Solomoriah's take on watch & regaining spells.

However, whatever the case is, we'll make that & breakfast happen and (barring vengeful dwarf incursion, etc.) get going.

[Solomoriah]

A character who is recovering spells is not as alert as one who is just watching out; I'd increase the odds of surprise by 1 or 2 on 1d6 if all characters in the watch group are doing that.

[jstater]

Sounds fair - good rule.

[Hywaywolf]

I had assumed that someone doing something wouldn't be as alert as someone totally focused on watch. Mostly just need to watch the door to the underworld. We could set a few trip lines to rattle some cans up here if anyone comes up the stairs to help out.
