OOC: Death House (5e)

wisdom save...

+5

Vorj's Wisdom save -- I'll add the +4 modifier after the d20 roll: [dice]0[/dice]

That's a 6. This dice roller hates me.

[Ken of Ghastria]

Oh, I forgot the initial Insight roll, also with a +4 modifier afterward: [dice]0[/dice]

That's 13. Still a failure.

[alhoon]

Weeeeell... things will get interesting.

Burdur lost a horror save.
I guess a horror save for the rest of you is also in order. Many things happened that directly threaten one's sanity.
I'll cut you some slack and give low DCs: DC 11 horror save for those not directly affected (Van and poor Burdur that lost the save) and DC 13 for those directly affected (Kimber that got a ghost in her and Vorj that had his worst fears verified in the worst possible way).

Bad things keep piling and I'm aware of that. If you think you're getting too much on your plate say it here or in PM. The experience should be horrific and terrible for your characters, not you the players.

Horror saves are Wis saves?

+5

[VAN]

Horror check: [dice]0[/dice]

wisdom save...

[dice]225112:0[/dice]

+5

That was a success...

[Ken of Ghastria]

Muahahahaha!! I'm loving this.

It's certainly more grim campaign than I usually run, even for Ravenloft.

Consider what the " " factor would be if players didn't already know your secret friend.

My tardy Horror save, with the +4 mod after:
[dice]0[/dice]

So that's a 7. Like I said, this dice roller REALLY doesn't like me....

Yeaaah... that's your 2nd lost horror save, correct? The first being the phantom from the mirror.
If so, please roll 1d100 for the long term madness in page 260 of DMG. The effects would come to the forefront within 1 minute as Vorj shakes the immediate shock and would hold for 1d10x10 hours.
If you get aversion (31-40), it would be aversion to ghosts.
If you get 41-45, roll again. Same with 56-65 and 96-100.

And the next failed horror save... is permanent madness; indefinite, as per the rules of progressive madness from Out of the Abyss.
It seems at this point quite possible that Vorj would lose a part of his sanity inside the death house...
Sorry buddy. It's a bleak, tough place. Sanity is fleeting thing in this version of Ravenloft...

[kintire]

Just to let you know I am spending the next week in a remote location. It claims to have Internet, but I may go silent...

[Ken of Ghastria]

Madness Check is:
[dice]1d100[/dice]

Hmm, that didn't work, so I used Rolz: https://rolz.org/info?X12200679
29! Looks like extreme paranoia.

[kintire]

Well, since everything IS out to get you, that should be indistinguishable from sanity.

In fact, in a Ravenloft game, arguably NOT having extreme paranoia is insane...
