The Hunger of Sejanoz posted:You unshoulder your Bow Wise Hawk: COMBAT SKILL 31 Vampire Shadow: COMBAT SKILL 40 Combat Ratio: -9 As our current Endurance is below 7, we can't use Kai-surge. We roll: 1. That would have killed us instantly if we hadn't already been dead, but we'll treat it as losing more EP than the Vampire Shadow. The Hunger of Sejanoz posted:You fail to evade the Vampire Shadow and in an instant it has merged with your body! Born of the evil spirit of Sejanoz, it seizes your mind, plunging you into panic. With monumental effort, your Magnakai skills expel the entity and you breathe deeply, struggling to regain your self-control. Do we want to reroll, or go back and not use the bow?

The Hunger of Sejanoz posted:As you reach the tunnel entrance, Sejanoz turns and hurls a glass sphere that is filled with a volatile yellow fluid. It smashes near your feet and releases a billowing cloud of poisonous gas. I don't know why we'd choose not to, but it's an option.

Ben Dever posted:Another piece of news announced at Dragonmeet is that LIGHT OF THE KAI will be released in two volumes, bringing the final number of Lone Wolf books in the saga to thirty-three. So almost two years to go before we get the first half of the final book, and another year after that before we get the second half. And it's going to be long. No word on the bonus adventures. Also, Ben seems to have reverted to spelling his name without the additional E on the end. I'd assume it had just been a typo if it hadn't been reproduced so consistently across their official communications for that brief period.

Could we have won this fight? Yes. But we'd have to be lucky to do 42 points of damage in only four rounds. And obviously if we hadn't been playing in zombie mode we could still have been killed ourself before the four rounds were up. The Hunger of Sejanoz posted:Once you have dispatched the last skeleton, you rush after the Autarch and reach a chamber heaped with rubble and earth. Sejanoz and Kamada are nowhere to be seen. Desperately, you ascend the mound of rubble towards a hole in the ceiling, leading to the surface. Your Sixth Sense warns you of the first shell just as it explodes at your feet. So now do we want to cheat our way past the skeleton fight or the vampire shadow?

Tiggum posted:Not at this time, but since there's going to be a long wait before the next book comes out I might do that after this book's bonus adventure. Or possibly run through as Braveheart? There have been a number of options we couldn't take due to lack of Disciplines and/or rank. Sounds good. achtungnight posted:Cheat past the vampire shadow. Sure, why not.

I might be cool with playing this book as Braveheart, if we use our most recent stats. Play as a new game plus of a previous adventure.

The Hunger of Sejanoz posted:The Autarch shrieks with agony as the Arrow of Atonement strikes him in the middle of the back and skewers his heart. Prince Kamada slips from his grasp as he collapses to his knees, and you rush forwards to drag the frightened young boy away from Sejanoz’s rapidly decomposing body. For centuries his unnatural powers have preserved his cadaverous frame and held time at bay, but within the matter of a few seconds, time wreaks its vengeance upon the demonic Autarch. His flesh and bones disintegrate to a fine dust that seeps through the cracks in the floor and disappears without trace.

For all their talk of restoring this to the full glory of how it was always meant to be, this edition does practically nothing to improve the book, and it's still among the worst of the series, imo. I have gone through and worked out where the content we missed is, so when we do replay it I'll make sure that we see as much as possible, but honestly it's pretty underwhelming. Up next will be the bonus adventure, The Edge of Night, but I'm moving house in a couple of weeks so I'm going to wait till after I'm settled into the new place before I begin.

The Edge of NightThe Edge of Night posted:Introduction Combat Skill: 6 + 25 = 31 Endurance: 9 + 30 = 39 We also have a statistic called Hunger that starts at 1 and can increase and decrease throughout the adventure. If it reaches 10, "disastrous consequences" will occur. We will also need to roll "Hunger Checks" at various points, which we pass by rolling under our current Hunger score. If we roll a 0 on a Hunger Check, we automatically pass and reduce our Hunger by 1. Next we need to choose our fighting style: The Edge of Night posted:Ixn Shui-The Crashing Waves Then we have to choose three Crimson Gifts: The Edge of Night posted:Red Rage
