Posted this in my Wizard's Amulet discussion thread, bears repeating here:

Guys just to let you know, you may have noticed and you may remember how the nature of my work comes in spurts. "Feast or Famine" we say. I am in one of those periods when I'm working a lot so I may not have quite the posting rate or attentiveness to the thread that I do during those periods when I can be online checking repeatedly through the day.

I'm still here, generally posting once or twice a day and checking more often on days off. I just may miss a day here and there until things settle down, and I may not be as snappy and thorough with getting good maps up and tracking initiative. Just wanted to let you know, in case it is showing, so you know I haven't lost interest in the game, I'm just getting blindsided by a lot of gigs.

Game on!


OOC guys, between you and me I am glad you decided to delve the barrow :)

That's where my prep work has been going, I was getting nervous you would pass it by :D

The only thing that stinks is, that first fight drained more resources than I expected, so Lilia in particular is low on spell slots for a barrow delve.

I was tempted to think up an excuse to drop some kind of consumable item Lilia could use to get through the barrow, like a low charge partial wand or something, but I feel kinda funny about fudging things that way. What do you guys think? Sneak a little item drop in since that first fight was rocky, or let the dice fall where they may?

If Lilia goes into the barrow without any spellslots, she will have to be a good sport and use wits and social skills where applicable (and scrolls).

Personally it is our fault that this happened (us using up our resources) and we need to bear in mind this is an FGG product. FGG = old school flavour. That being said there aren't convenient places where we can rest up all the time.

However, the arcanist never wants to be out of slots and getting rdy to delve. I'm sure you can put a wand or scroll somewhere that we still need to find but relatively close to the entrance. You're a creative DM I know you can come up with something convenient but something we still need to locate.


Ok let's see what Gerald says, Lilia may have enough tricks up her sleeve to get by.

I will probably drop some more lore results for Cairenn's knowledge checks but you guys got the general idea.. this isn't your run of the mill low-level dungeon door. Which is great that you worked that out on your own and chose a more suitable challenge in the barrow mound.

Your call, DM. I am low on slots, but I can try to get by, or we can hand waive it and come back in the morning if you don't want to put a wand of magic missiles with seven charges in the floor, lol.

I'm happy either way.

But Ronen is right. FGG games are tough. There are many spots we will have to turn and run, no matter how well we are doing on consumables, lol!


The thing about coming back in the morning is the real archaeologists will be coming to delve the barrow. You have a chance tonight to check it out because of the case of mistaken identity.

Ah, well we need to check it out then, spell slots or not.

Letsssssgggggooooooooo!


We could always sabotage the caravan if that's what it came down to.

Ok I'll be back with a post later tonight and then the next couple days are days off so I'll be back to gleefully lurking the thread with a cup of chai plotting your demises all day :)

Old school DM'ing at its best! Well, except for the chai; a real old school DM would be downing Mountain Dew and Doritos. ;)


Well so much for day one of my days off. I slept through it!

Still have a clear schedule until thursday so let's get in some good gaming :D

Logan, if these guys give me too much trouble I will break out the mountain dew and doritos to give me an edge.


Sleeping through a day off sounds awesome. I'm jealous!


Abraxes returns!! Tremble ye mortals!


You others could maybe proceed with the zip line plan while Cairenn and Lueck get the cart and make it into a raft, so you aren't hanging uncomfortably from a rope for five-ten minutes. The raft will still be useful for getting back to the rope to climb out.

Just one thought. Or you could wait up in the barrow, or on the rope.


Well I had hoped to do a real update before work but I am out of time gotta run out the door, so I'll be back later.

Darn! Ok I'm eagerly wsiting to see what craziness you have on that inlet!


Popping in on my break.


We'll just flex time just a bit, that is to say... everyone generally hung around while Cairenn and Lueck got the cart and smashed it into a raft... but Ronen did go for his swim. So now in the present, Ronen is on the inlet and Cairenn and Lueck are at the top of the shaft with the raft ready.


I added some notes to the map of the cavern, make sure you take a look at it if you haven't so we are all visualizing the layout the same way. It's under the battle map link up above.

Just a note. I'll be mostly out the next couple of days, beginning about lunch time tomorrow. I've got a road trip to watch my basketball team in the ncaa tourney tomorrow night, heading directly back home and sleeping about two hours before heading to work on Friday. I'll probably pass out after work on Friday, and it will be Saturday before I get back into the swing of things, then hopefully I'll be heading back on the road trip for the next tourney game, not getting back until late Saturday night. I'm sure I'll have some time to post sporadically, but don't freak out if I'm not here as much as normal for a bit.

no worries as long as you aren't cheering on Wildcats or Blue Devils you have my blessing!

Enjoy!

Lol, Ronen, I'm a UK graduate. So I'm cheering for one of the bad guys, lol!

Lol Ronen can never trust Lilia again...

You don't need to watch until NEXT week at the minimum. Noone in your bracket is stopping the Wildcats. I feel sorry for Jayhawks they've played bad against UK for several years now in the tourney.


Nothing from Priscilla or Ares since mid last week, and nothing from Lueck in a full week? I know I've been really hung up with work and not giving this my undivided attention guys but I'm still pretty sure I haven't gone a single day without at least a post. All I'm saying is, if you're going to be unable to post for more than a couple days you should announce that, so we don't end up hung up in a scenario where we're waiting for your actions, you know what I mean?

I agree 100%. We are in a sticky spot for a PBP, and the only way to get through it is to post how you are wanting to handle it. After this little bottleneck, things will smooth right out, if we keep at it!


I just don't have a lot to bring to the table in this situation that isn't punching people and being grumpy.

I'm sorry I thought I posted sooner then I actually did. I apologize if I slowed things down. Will make an effort to keep my posts up.

Go WVA! Now back to the campaign. What is the general etiquette for a GM when this happens in PbP? Asking for future knowledge.

Boo WVU, lol!

Normally if people don't post during combat, DM either bot them or skip their turn.

For out of combat situations, most DM's simply ask what's goinng on or if it's really bad, might send pm's or something.

All of these are what I've seen in my games.

No problem guys, just something to think about. A trick you can do also from what I've learned is to throw in some contingencies in your post. "If/then" kind of statements.

In other words, if you visit the thread and think "hmm there's not much I can do until such and such condition is met.." what you want to do is post "if such and such condition is met I will do blah blah blah".


Hmm, can you guys see if the battle map is working for you?

I am trying to copy paste the tokens to put them on the map and it won't let me for some reason. I can only view.

Don't see any tokens on map.


Yeah, I can see the map but no tokens on it. On the plus side, it is a cool looking map. :)

So is their anyway to you know jeep the levers set?

Ok that was it. I had the map created under another gmail account not my gaming one.


Where exactly did Leuck land? If we're lucky (and if I'm understandong things correctly) we could raise one of the platforms while he's above it and it would bring him up out of the water.


I got the tokens working now, so you can see the positioning on the map.

Sorry I didn't roll initiative sooner guys, I got swept up in something.

Bad guys rolled a 1, so everyone is up.

Hmm, so the permissions were still messed up then. Sorry. Should be editable now.
