Roger that. Looking forward to revealing myself. In every way.

Wait, what?


Heh. The mind boggles - and in the kald o' Iobaria its not the best idea to reveal too much ;)

Work's conspiring to slam me for time - have a day off upcoming on Thursday so look for that as kick off day.

If I get time before - bonus.

Cheers


The Saga thaws whilst Scotland freezes lol. Game post up... let's ease into this folks :)

My class specializes in clubs. Well these improvised clubs count as clubs for the purpose of feats and class abilities and such?


Male Human (Ulfen) Barbarian 3 (Invulnerable Rager archetype)

A club is a club is a club in my book ;)


Ragnar has the measure of it. Improvised or nei you can use them in conjunction with abilities etc without issue.

Good start to the interplay guys - glad to have this game back :)


Male Human Ranger Hunter (Outlander)/4, HP: 31/31, AC: 16 , Saves: STR +3, DEX +6, Initiative: +4, Perception: +6

Woot..woot!


Sorry folks - RL stymied me this weekend; Burns Supper with the folks and all that...

Will try and get something up tomorrow.


Work ramped up... Bloody fishing jobs offshore...

Decks hopefully cleared on the morrow and service shall resume!


Male Human (Ulfen) Barbarian 3 (Invulnerable Rager archetype)

Oy vei - good luck with the fishing eh... currently doing a root cause investigation on a 4 week plus fishing job gone wrong. Sequence of events is currently running about 70-80 steps wide...


Oh man... ours is in Baku, Azerbaijan... so remote headaches all round. Operator wants to go in with e-line, then coil tubing... our guys are on standby to try and complete their WH M-SAS testing... 2 hour job being held up by day 10 of fishing... and counting! Arrrghghh.


Male Human (Ulfen) Barbarian 3 (Invulnerable Rager archetype)

Finally got the sequence of events down and it's a lazy 149 post-it notes wide.


By the fickle gods of the black gold... that is indeed fell tidings!

That's a lot of post-its


Hey folks - am absolutely slammed at work at the moment - having to step up in role to cover my manager.

Will try and get something in-game when I can, but appreciate the patience being shown. Hopefully things will calm down a little by the weekend at the latest!

Cheers


Back in the saddle folks.

Right am visualising the group currently congregating at the blockage of X11 where Muli is about to put "fire in the hole" - as/when that barricade burns off you be free to explore the rest of the lair.

In the meantime X6 is best shout at finding out about your new foes...

Disa, the other surviving member of the group is preparing Skol's body for the pyre and will tend to a very weak Sesi (want to give Adam/Salsa plenty of opportunity to join the frey)

As previously outlined once we are clear of the Puca lair Disa and Muli will make tracks elsewhere (there will be a rationale for this), I'd hope you'd bury Skol in whatever fashion best suits...

After that the new group can decide what direction to take...

I will build and send Skol to Valhalla in a proper northman fire with the proper ceremony on the outskirts of my village when we leave the lair.

Hello, Sorry for disappearing on you guys, but I'm feeling better and things are looking up. If the GM still wants me, I'm up for playing.


AC 17/11/16 | F:5 R:2 W:2 | HP: 11/23 | CMD 16 | Init +4 | Perception +5

I'm happy so see you again! And I'm happy that you're feeling better. :)


Okay gang - am finally free of this feckin flu-virus thing that has refused to prise me from its mucus inducing clutches... and I'll be off duty as of Friday (been a LONG week of 2 root cause analysis - which Mark will confirm are a frankly a chew)

So that's the first part of the good news.

Second is that in addition to Adam/Sesi able to kick off, we also welcome an auld friend back to the fold in Drayen/Disa - been a long road back but we'll soon have our full compliment again.

Will allow any tweaks and changes afore we kick off (likely over the weekend)

Welcome back, pal!

Glad to hear that you're recovering at least. :D I'll be catching up soon.


Female Aasimar Oracle of Fate (Dual Cursed) 3

Hi all. Thanks for having me back. I see that arcane is no longer a need for the party, so I will retool for something divine. Going to go for Oracle of Fate from the Northlands book.


Male Probably human Computer Scientist 1/ Character Synthesizer 20/ Crazy 99

Welcome back! Black Dow and I were wondering what happened to you.


AC 17/11/16 | F:5 R:2 W:2 | HP: 11/23 | CMD 16 | Init +4 | Perception +5

Welcome back. :)


Welcome one and all. Appreciate the patience for a slow thaw. Wheels in motion and all that - something up and running soon.

Woohoo! Nice to know Sesi's entrance didn't derail the game. :D

Yeah, sorry about that. I sank a boat on the Colorado River. One of my grandmothers died. I had a heart attack. The first three weeks of August sucked.

Are there any specific divine spells that the group is looking for out of an oracle? CLW will be there, but are there others that are needed?


AC 17/11/16 | F:5 R:2 W:2 | HP: 11/23 | CMD 16 | Init +4 | Perception +5

... Wow. That's a, lot of suck in a short time...

As for spells, I trust your judgement. :)


Jotunn sized portion of suck I'd say.

Ditto on the spells - go with whatever strikes your fancy.


HP: 10/11, NL: 0 | AC 17/13/14 | F+3 R +6 W+2 | Per: +6 | Init: +4 | Arr: 40

Oh man, I'm glad to here you survived are on the mend, but I think Black Bow summed things up perfectly.

That said, Sesi has CLW and can cast it up to 4/day if needed, but having more than one person being able to cast it would be helpful. As the others have said, though, entirely up to you.


Healing will be handy - but don't get too hung up on it. Feel free to create spells that fit the characters modus operandi.

Once we nail down Disa V2.0 I'll move things along somewhat.


AC 17/11/16 | F:5 R:2 W:2 | HP: 11/23 | CMD 16 | Init +4 | Perception +5

I look forward to it. :)


Female Aasimar Oracle of Fate (Dual Cursed) 3

I'm all but spells. Working on that now.


Female Aasimar Oracle of Fate (Dual Cursed) 3

Sorry all, I selected my spells, but I then realized that without the skirnir archetype, I need to switch out all of my feats and traits. I am awaiting our illustrious liege's response to my queries.

I doubt anyone would remember, but Disa is a volva, a diviner of runes. I asked BD about using words of power for my spell casting. He may have actually looked at the rules and thus may be stuck in his chair helplessly drooling down his chest. This may be what is holding him up.


Hah. No I've had a wee swatch at the rules and definately see the potential in them. Happy to defer to those of you who've used them before for some guidance?

Like the idea of them being a more ancient (forgotten) form of magick (which will also tie in down the line in the Saga...) but want a straw poll before I give Drayen the green light.

I've never seen them used, so I'm fine with it. I'd be curious to see how it plays out.

Same here.


Gameplay thread up - have taken the liberty of railroading you all into the central chamber whilst Muli's critter bombs burn the rot barricade down.

Love that both our group's gals are otherworldly aasimar :) Just adds to the Saga I reckon :)

And one is just a ripped shirt away from running around in her skivvies.

All this is missing is a little romance and you'd have something for everyone. :D


Alas the group's most eligible bachelor in Muli is now an NPC :)

Luke is never afaraid of a roll in the hay, but his brooding demeanor may not be that attractive to the ladies.

Sesi, BD mentioned we're both aasimar. That means you have at least cold resistance 5. How could you possibly be cold?

Umm...

Good question.

I guess she can still feel it without it affecting her.


She's playing up the cold, helpless maid - probably a defence mech with the Hinderlings?


Off to the fjords of Norway for the weekend gang. Will try and avoid the trow...

Back on Mondag.

Skal!

WTF?! You're going to the northlands without me? You took her, didn't you?!

As a heads up, I will be leaving early next Wednesday morning for a week and will have no Internet access. I will return the following Tuesday and should begin posting again late that night when I arrive at work.


Hei gang - game hasn't died just busy at work and my home interwebs are super slow at the moment.

Bear with me cheers

Hei All

Sad news - I'm currently having to act up the food chain at work, which while a welcome career shift of gears, the knock on is leaving me spent and with much less free time. As a result I'm just not getting the opportunity to create and run a game that this motley assortment of great characters deserve.

I could keep chipping away every week/fortnight, but don't think that would be fair on you all who blessed my game with renewed energy and focus. Am gutted some of you haven't rolled a virtual dice in anger as yet (which also frustrates me no end). Playing is so much easier than running games and as such I've nothing but admiration for those among you who run games here on the boards...

This is a very reluctant decision and one I made before and reneged on. Alas this time the Saga is at an end (will retire the game in a week or so).

Truly hope to play alongside you all down the line (or continue to for some :)

Apologies and thanks in equal measure folks.
