I plan to conclude the adventure next weekend, so if anyone has any final posts to make in the IC thread, please do them by then.

Congratulations everyone on finishing The Brotherhood of Death! I hope all of you enjoyed playing it as much as I enjoyed running it. Though this adventure is over, the campaign will continue. The fifth adventure, The Horror in the Blackout, is set in London in September 1940. It should start within the next couple of weeks. You can find the forum here. All of you are welcome to join (most already have), though except for the TARDIS crew you'll need to make new characters. You're all now free to read all of the threads in this game.

First, I'll give out rewards. Everybody gains 1D6 Sanity for defeating Scaevola. This reward may take your Sanity above its starting level, but under no circumstances will it go above 99 - Cthulhu Mythos.

Also, for those of you proceeding to the next adventure, look at your character sheets. Wherever you see a * next to a skill, that means that you've successfully used it during the adventure and have a chance to improve it. Roll 1D100 for each of these skills and post your results here. If you get higher than your current level in the skill, then roll 1D10 to see how much it increases. If you raise one or more of your skills to 90% or higher this way, you gain an additional 2D6 Sanity for each such skill. Again, this may raise your Sanity above its starting level. If you roll less than or equal to your current level in the skill, it does not increase.

Characters remaining in ancient Rome could conceivably appear in a later adventure set not too many years after this one, but that won't be for a very long time. You are free to roll for Sanity and skill increases for those characters anyway..Unfortunately, I did not have sufficient time when setting up this adventure to put together completed character sheets for those characters, and later it would have taken too long for me to go through the story and check which skills were successfully used, but you may do so yourself if you wish to make the effort. I will not be repeating that mistake with the next adventure, and several completed sheets have already been posted.

Thank you very much Mr Handy. I really enjoyed that adventure! I'm still not 100% sure what was going on in the background (in character or out of character), but it was remarkably entertaining. And thank you to all the other players for making it so much fun

Here are Elizabeth's die rolls.

Firstly 1d6 for Sanity gain: [dice]0[/dice]

Then rolls for each of the ticked skills, with 1d10 rolled up front for each of them, just in case I get a gain!

Climb (stat 40%): to see if fail [dice]1[/dice] and gain if do [dice]2[/dice]

Conceal (stat 15%): to see if fail [dice]3[/dice] and gain if do [dice]4[/dice]

History (stat 70%): to see if fail [dice]5[/dice] and gain if do [dice]6[/dice]

Listen (stat 38%): to see if fail [dice]7[/dice] and gain if do [dice]8[/dice]

Spot Hidden (stat 48%): to see if fail [dice]9[/dice] and gain if do [dice]10[/dice]

Thanks!

So to summarise for Elizabeth, that's:

+6 for Sanity
+1 for Climb
+9 for Conceal
+4 for Listen

Yay!

You''re welcome, and I'm glad you had fun! I've updated your character sheet. There were some things going on behind the scenes that were never revealed, such as Adelphus and Nefertiri's agenda. Quite a few historical characters put in appearances, and they had agendas of their own as well. It was a confusing, chaotic time even without the Mythos.

Thank you kindly, Mr Handy, just excellent!

Yes - thanks Mr. Handy. It was an enjoyable adventure, as well as a history lesson!

You're both welcome, and thank you for the compliments!

Once I get Sanity gains and skill increases for Story and Brook, I can get at least the TARDIS crew started on the next adventure, even if not all of the new characters have been completed yet.

I was away on a ministry related trip for the weekend. I'll post asap.

I put the 1d10 rolls after the 1d100 rolls just in case

Brook
First Aid (30%) [dice]0[/dice] [dice]1[/dice]
History (20%) [dice]2[/dice] [dice]3[/dice]
Listen (45%) [dice]4[/dice] [dice]5[/dice]
Spot Hidden (45%) [dice]6[/dice] [dice]7[/dice]

Cool, looks like Brook learned some history this time Raised all my marked stats, and I won't bother rolling for sanity, cause she's already got max.

Nice! Your maximum Sanity is currently 99, and you're nowhere near that. Sanity rewards can raise your Sanity above its starting level. Please do go ahead and roll 1D6 for your Sanity gain.

Sanity Gain: [dice]0[/dice]

Climb - 40% [dice]1[/dice]
-Potential Gain: [dice]2[/dice]

Martial Arts - 40% [dice]11[/dice]
-Potential Gain: [dice]12[/dice]

Psychology - 90% [dice]13[/dice] SO CLOSE!
-Potential Gain: [dice]14[/dice]

Spot Hidden - 28% [dice]15[/dice]
-Potential Gain: [dice]16[/dice]

-Potential Gain: [dice]18[/dice]

STATS that have increased and by what amount:
Sanity +6
Martial Arts +4
Spot Hidden +10
Fist/Punch +2

Thanks, I've updated the character sheets. I'll go ahead and post the initial IC thread for the TARDIS crew tonight. I can wait a little while for the Sanity increase roll for Brook, as there won't be any Sanity rolls quite this soon.

Enough time passes between adventures for Story to be fully healed by the time the next one starts.

Brook sanity increase [dice]0[/dice]

Thanks for yet another grand adventure, Mr Handy. I'm looking forward to the next one.

You're welcome, and I'm glad you had fun!

I'll probably move this game to the Hall of Fame this weekend, but I'll leave it here for at least the next few days.

Mr. Handy - great game. Sorry I can't go on to the next era, but boy did I enjoy it. So my notes show the following successes...going to roll just to update the character.

Artemis gaius
Insight at cleopatra palace => against a 5 [dice]0[/dice] so plus [dice]5[/dice]
status at Marcus Antonius w Lictors => against a 35[dice]1[/dice]so plus [dice]6[/dice]
Climb over the wall at Sceavola's villa => against a 60[dice]2[/dice]so plus [dice]7[/dice]
Pilla throw at guard at Villa => against a 75[dice]3[/dice] no additional gain
Sanity current max is 20 => [dice]4[/dice] = becomes 24

Really a great game and I enjoyed it. Rich story and great folks to play with. Take care and I hope to see many of you in the future.

Thank you, Ritterton, you too. I'm glad you had fun!

That gives Artemis Insight at 14%, Status at 41%, and Climb at 61%. Your Sanity was reduced to 17 by the encounter with the Sphinx, so it only goes up to 21, but at least it's more than the amount with which you started.

I'll roll increases for Lucius.

Sanity gain:
[dice]0[/dice]
Climb (50% skill) XP check:
[dice]1[/dice]
Climb increase:
[dice]7[/dice]
Hide (45% skill) XP check:
[dice]2[/dice]
Insight (67% skill) XP check:
[dice]3[/dice]
Listen (50% skill) XP check:
[dice]4[/dice]
Listen increase:
[dice]8[/dice]
Sneak (72% skill) XP check:
[dice]5[/dice]
Spot Hidden (61% skill) XP check:
[dice]6[/dice]
Spot Hidden increase:
[dice]9[/dice]

Just as well he's retiring. Going into the next adventure with only 24 Sanity wouldn't have been too good...
