You are all able to move yourselves on the map, it's set to open edit. ( think you need a google acct to do it though)
just delete the letters that mark where you are, and enter them into the new location that you move to.
Don't drag them from one place to another because it moves the colors as well. It's a pain.

As long as you end what you're saying with your reaction to combat starting, sure.
I prefer things to have a fluid narrative. If it's anything super important we can do a flashback scene after combat. If it's just chatting, it can be picked up as soon as the danger's passed.

Sorry! And there's the map. Multiple enemies! We need spiders by the dozen, no wait.... Makes my normal, I cast grease and load my light crossbow look decidely shaky that does, kersplat!
DM Doomed Hero |
It is currently early afternoon. Are you looking for a place to camp and treat Thorgar's wound, or are you pressing on?
Thorgar the Childeater |
Thorgar's going to be all gruff and manly about it, plus this section of forest seems quite deadly. A normal nights rest will get him one point of str back leaving him at 18, which is more than enough to play with.
DM Doomed Hero |
This weekend is rather busy for me.
Feel free to role-play the camp scene. You find a place. Just decide if you want to be nearer to the river or not.
DM Doomed Hero |
Ok, with all the madness happening with the board redesign I didn't update yesterday. I'm concerned you guys won't see the updates because the "dot" function seems to still be stuck (at least it is for me).
Is anyone getting accurate updates? Are you checking the threads anyway?
I'm going to give another couple hours in case anyone wants to post in gameplay, and then move forward.
DM Doomed Hero |
I'm betting Raven's is too, which is why she hasn't responded yet. I'll give her until tomorrow. Hopefully this will all be sorted out by then.
Thorgar the Childeater |
Thorgar's probably going to charge so can I ask does the terrain do anything to prohibit that, etc.?
On another note, going back to the first post of a thread seems to reset the new post count for me, so if you are experiencing what I was - new posts mounting up in the bracket by the thread even when they had been read - you might try that.
DM Doomed Hero |
Thorgar, you get the idea that the man-thing would definitely put up a fight.
Thorgar the Childeater |
Hmmm, I'm sensing DM motive here ;) When you describe the things as huge, how tall are we talking, 8 feet or sixteen, etc., does he take up say four spaces on a battlegrid?
DM Doomed Hero |
I'm just giving you fair warning. He's a four-square critter. He's hunched so height's tough to say, but he's probably about 3-4 times Thorgar's mass and would probably hit like it.
Thorgar the Childeater |
I think we might want to see what form his challenge takes, before being hasty. We are first level this guy could presumably squash us like bugs. Anyone got knowledge checks that might tell us what he is?
DM Doomed Hero |
This all started when Raven flew over the river with the rope. When she did that, the big guy came out. He's standing on the bank, next to the bridge, about ankle deep in the water.
Moving across the bridge would definitely provoke.
Haaken |
Alright! That's turned out better than expected, so far. Any thoughts on questions? Assuming we're still on track map/adventure-wise he might be able to help us with the next step. Maybe he was bound here by whatever hid Thordan's harpoon?
DM Doomed Hero |
I'd just like to state for the record that for a thrown-together game idea, this is turning out great. I'm having a blast.
Haaken |
Yup. The question is yours. Figured it'd be more fun that way, and draw the rest of the group in, as well as save time and discussion. Plus it feels more like a folktale that way. I have no idea why... It just does.
Thorgar the Childeater |
Fourthed :) This is a nice insight into Haaken's character, it seems like he is quite the most aasimarey aasimar I've played with, which will make him a fascinating foil for Thorgar.
TheThousandfold |
Yep he's a viking shaolin. Which means he's buddhist, but of the philosophical school as opposed to the religious/theological school. It's a subtle point, unless you're well read on the subject, but it'll really get interesting if he comes into contact with a cleric or any zealot.
I actually have the entire history of his order in my noggin...really should write it down. A history going back to a bound Solar in the service of the Runelord of Pride and what grew out of that during and after the cataclysm. Originally concieved for a RotRL campaign...just haven't found one to get him in to.
@Thorgar: I saw the same thing when we were chosen during the recruitment, Thorgar. I actually think the entire group was a good mix. Sucks we were abandoned, and Doomed had to grab the reigns. I think we all really appreciate you keeping this going, and youre doing a great job, but I really would have loved to see what your wizard would have added to the mix.
Great job all around, everyone! Having a great time! ... now if only I could get some love from the dice...
DM Doomed Hero |
Gotcha. I'm a bit busy this weekend. I'll have an answer up sometime tomorrow evening.
DM Doomed Hero |
I'm going to be moving this forward some time tonight (late-ish)
You all have until then to talk amongst yourselves.
DM Doomed Hero |
Anyone who'd like to do any RP in the circle, go ahead. If you're ready for me to move things along, say so here. Once everyone has checked in I'll get to the next day.
We're about to have our first real combat, so I want to make sure everyone's here and ready before I kick it off.
