| GM Notes:
You'll have 1 round to prepare for the incoming Griffons.
I need the spells lists for Eagle and Demonslayer ASAP!
Fin, what kind of arrangements are you going to have in taking Wendy back to Gateway?
I'm assuming that you're having guards during the night. I would appreciate if you could tell what kind of rotation you have.

House Rules:
The following are rules and variations in use in this game:
Encumbrance is used.
I do NOT require Spell Components
I use individual initiative rolls for the Seekers and Group Initiative for like groups of monsters. Weapon speed figures into to Initiative and Magical Weapons reduce Weapon Speed.
I use the Exceeding Level Limits option on Demi-Humans.
Mages do not automatically gain new spells when they gain a level. There should be enough spells on hand, from captured spell books and scrolls, to get a descent selection.
Characters advance and train on the 'Advance now, Train Later' method. The Crown supplies free training to the Seekers back in Gateway. I allow characters to advance in levels automatically, but they still must make up the training at a later date. Training takes 1 week per level gained. Thus, once the party is safely back in Gateway, some players will have to spend as many as four weeks in make-up training. New players won't really be affected by this, since they can be trained by the older players of the same class.
Hovering at Death's door is used.
Weapon breakage: In my off-line game, we devised an easy system to check for weapon breakage. Without really thinking about it, I've used it in this game. Whenever a natural 1 is rolled on an attack roll, I immediately re-roll the dice. If a 2nd 1 comes up, the weapon in question has broken. This does not occur very often, but just enough to add spice to the game. It also seems to always happen at the wrong time...
And lastly about magic items: Wands, Staffs and Rods all require command words. More often than not, the words are written on the object, but Read Magic is needed to comprehend them. Magical swords DO NOT emit light.
Also, I do not label magic items. That is, if you find some magic items, I do not reveal exactly what they are up front. 'The sword is magical, the chain is magical, etc.' No pluses are ever given. My feeling is that the player really has no way of knowing which sword is +1 and which is +2. They can determine which is stronger, but no pluses will be given. The nature of other items can eventually be determined. For example, Araduin has a Ring of Protection. Of course he doesn't know what the plus is! When the nature of an item is determined, I usually tell what the item is. Like in the example above.
