Just wanted to let you know that I will be on vacation from this Saturday, April 12, to Monday, April 21. During this time, my posting rate will likely slow or stop completely. Also, as I will only have my tablet, I will not be able to manipulate combat maps. Our regularly scheduled programming will commence Tuesday, April 22.
Good to see my dice luck continues...
Since I only have my iPad with me on vacation, I won't be able to post or alter a ditzie map, nor will I be able to consult the module. Best we just take a break until April 22.
Back from vacation and ready to jump back to it. In fact, new gameplay post is up and a-waitin'.
Alright, I got this combat started for you and even gave you a nice hint as to the trick of winning it. Now its up to you guys to post!
My my, we do tend to blunder...
You're not that bad. Got lucky that last round. Retreat is probably a good idea, though.
Did I manage to get up the slide or am I still stuck at the bottom?
Sorry about that - no, you did not make it up. It is a DC 10 Climb check.
Sure - I wonder what lies behind that door on the upper level of the chamber you're currently in?
Yoo hoo! Anybody home?
Wow - I'm just impressed you made it back from Nigeria in one piece!
Now that those of us not living in Nigeria are well rested from our extended Memorial Day Weekend, let's get back to the business of saving Roldare's sister and lighting the flame of Kassen!
So I got sick.
The first sign you’re in trouble is when you visit the doctor’s office and the last thing they say to you before you leave is “We’ve called the hospital and they’re expecting you”.
The second sign is when the doctors at the first hospital transfer you to the second hospital because the specialist they would normally have you see has gone home for the day and they say “We don’t think waiting until he gets back in the morning is a good idea.”
The third sign comes when you realize that it hasn’t even been 24 hours since you visited you doctor’s office and they’re taking you into surgery.
The panic sets in after the surgery. Strangely enough it is when they say “You’re so lucky you went to the doctor when you did. We caught this early enough you’ll get to keep your leg” you realize that it could have killed you.
The funny thing is I didn’t go to the doctor because of the fever or the pain in my ankle, in fact I almost didn’t mention it. It was just my regularly scheduled visit because of my high blood pressure, but my doctor saw me limping, and he dragged the whole story out of me. How everybody got a cold and then got better, except for me. How whenever I stopped taking ibuprofen the fever came back. How I had twisted my ankle the week before. Turns out everyone else in my family probably had just a cold. I didn’t.
An antibiotic resistant bacterial infection was lurking in my system but it wasn’t strong enough to effect my mostly healthy organs. Then, I hurt my ankle and it attacked, setting up shop in my bone and started pumping out all sorts of nasty stuff into the rest of my body. The surgeons went in and cut it out. I spent about a week in the hospital and have at least a month or so of recovery ahead of me. I’ve managed to avoid the at home IV antibiotics, by taking massive doses in pill form of a powerful antibiotic that doctors weren’t sure would even work, but it did.
I’ve been at home for a few days now and I can’t say for sure when I’ll be up to posting regularly. I’ve been feeling guilty about not posting but I haven’t been feeling up to trying to post a coherent message from my tablet either. I’ve finally grabbed my daughter’s laptop and typed this up. I’m just not sure how long it’s going to be before I get back into the swing of things.
If I’m a player in your game I’m sorry. If it makes sense please run my pc as it makes sense. For those of you who I’m the game master … well it’s going to be a few more days.
Wow - glad things lined up for your doctor to catch that when he did. Get better, man. I can auto-pilot Bern until you're back.
As for the other three of you, I am going to push you through the hallway and get things moving again.
I know Bern will be out indefinitely, but I just wanted to see if Zane was planning on coming back. Working in Africa sounds like a trip, so I'm just impressed he kept up with us as long as he did. I'll give it the weekend before posting for a replacement or two.
In the meantime, I'll get a new post up presently and have Zane and Bern just follow along.
We're going to finish this, by-golly. Nadab's RL buddy sent me a PM to join, so I'll get him up and going.
Venedictos - you still here?
Bern, Zane, you guys around?
I'm here! I had made a post this morning, and now I see the boards ate it! Grrrr....
Oh! Feeling strong... My intention is to breakdown the door that leads back to the entry room. Sorry I posted from my iPad so I couldn't update the map.
Are we ready to continue?
Welcome to the new players.
And to answer your question on the Recruitment thread, Brayken - yup, Core weapons only.
'ello, 'ello people, Brayken the Nearly-Continuously-Bored (Brayken for short) here.
Alias made and crunch done (I believe, there may still be glaring problems).
A short note on the avatar, the character is not nearly so battle-scarred, but the expression fits perfectly.
Hello everyone. Faunra here is a ranger in the militia with a propensity for close quarters combat.
Details are in the allias. Crunch and allias are done.
Welcome!
Hi.
Now that we're up and running again with a new crew of characters, here's a couple of things off the top of my head:
- New players unfamiliar with ditzie should read through the discussion thread for my previous words of wisdom on using the mapping tool.
- New characters know everything that has happened thus far in the Gameplay thread.
- New characters (and old characters) may claim any items found in the crypt (and not yet used) by Bern or Zane.
- It's up to the five of you whether you know each other or not and to what extent. Feel free to hash it out here on the Discussion thread if you like.
- Nadab has successfully busted open the northern door in the chamber with the pool. I will update the map to reflect this.
Please shoot any questions or comments my way, introduce yourselves in-game, and have fun!
Before plunging head long into the game play thread, it might be a good idea to hash out relations.
I have decided (contrary to previous posts) Brayken is older than 30 (not a young man anymore. It explains his personality better; he has been stuck in an effectively dead-end job for the last 15+ years.)
@ Venedictos and Nadab
If you would like to have a closer relation than "I just know him from his patrols," or "he gets his armor cleaned semi-often," just say so.
@Quinn
I don't know what role or place you have or had in Krassen, so I don't have any suggestions...
@Faunra
I would love to figure out our rankings in the militia. (It would be fun to have the seemingly "young-at-heart" Faunra be the superior of the cynical Brayken [*sigh* "Yes, sir{m'am (yay, nesting :P)}."])
Testing!
@Brayken
I like that idea. She'd be mentally/physically, at least 10 years younger, but would actually be about 100 years older.
Open to suggestions from anyone else as well.
If you're both in the town guard you've probably both had the pleasure of leaving Nadab in jail overnight for various minor offences (drunk & disorderly, street brawling, that kind of thing.)
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Quinn is looking for a place to settle as a young man in his own right. He has been working with the lumber teams around Kassen.
However, his old habits and newly acquired 10 gold coins gave him reason to not be in town right now volunteer to help he young 'uns who may be in trouble.
Hey Gm Everflame. I'm getting a login message on ditzie I don't remember getting before...

ditsie is still coming up with that message but it still is working... so maybe no problem?
It's been doing that since I started trying to use it... may just be a new feature.
I deleted Bern and Zane's tokens to make room on my ditzie account for the new players. In doing so, I broke the map. A simply created a new map for you, so there shouldn't be any more problems. Consider all the pit traps in the maze room to be disabled - a product of Nadab and Venedictos boredom waiting for the reinforcements.
Also, I'm already loving all your interactions. Great additions to reinvigorate the game!
Couldn't actually think of anything that needed to be added
Hey GM Everflame, quick question. Are Ven and Nadab rested? in terms of spells and things?
Oh yeah - you had a day-and-a-half to rest.
Sorry about the map and the confusion there. I am packing house to move in a few weeks and I can't physically get at my computer at the moment. However, I am able to edit the map whilst at work. This will only be an issue for another day or two as we are dumping a lot of furniture into the computer's space - I'll be able to move it out soon.
I thought magical healing of any kind healed all non-lethal damage. That's part of what makes it not as scary...
Nope - magical healing heals an equal amount of lethal AND nonlethal damage simultaneously.
Nonlethal damage naturally heals at a much faster rate and tracks separately from lethal damage. That's why it's not as scary. You guys just took a ton of nonlethal damage!
I think it heals at 1 per hour. Do we want to wait out the rest, or burn more channels?
Just to note I will be visiting a friend in Salt Lake City for a few days and may not be able to post with any regularity, especially tomorrow and Thursday (when I will be driving for 7+ hours).
I will be able to post but if I fail to do so timely feel free to bot me.
Waiting sounds good, but Brayken is going to want to move forward even if people are hurt...
I might not be able to post much over the next four or five days. Or maybe I'll have lots of time. I'm going to Melbourne with my wife who is attending a conference.
Been a while since the GM posted here (and as far as I can tell, anywhere). Just thought I'd ask if we want to look into some other options.
Is anyone else still interested? I might be up to Gming. I'll have a look over the module...
I'm definitely interested in more gameplay. If you can run this that'd be great.
