Doom Comes to Dustpawn

Argh! @ the ACG. So many new toys...

Believer's Boon: Gain that use of a 1st-level cleric domain ability.
Curse: Malign Eye (Su): As a standard action, you can afflict one target within 30 feet with your malign eye, causing it to take a –2 penalty on all saving throws against your spells. The effect lasts for 1 minute or until the target hits you with an attack. You can use this ability for a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Wisdom modifier.

I'd be giving someone the Evil Eye!

Yeah, cool book.

But my future feats are spoken for, at least for a while.

So many options for the future.

They look pretty interesting...

@Paul: If you want to interview the goblin, you will need to wake it up first (maybe a little healing?) because it is unconscious.

Gii offered silk rope before to help pull you up from the pit. You can always use that to tie up the goblin (but right now -- it isn't going anywhere because the goblin's unconscious (as the non-lethal damage exceeded its hp)) and rather helpless.

The thing about it being out? That's true until it isn't - then the goblin is awake.

I'd rather be prepared in advance (i.e. I'd rather tie it up while it's out).

I'm prepared to wake it up and go forward with questions; but I figured I'd wait to see what the rest of the guys are interested in.

Man, first when I'm asleep and then when I'm at work! Pick a time and stick to it! XD

For the next few days I'll be working between 2 pm and 10 pm my time, but I'll be available and up for posting both before and after.

Unfortunately, can't really do that, Bart. As time goes on, I'm sure we'll find some equilibrium.

Was only kidding lefty. Suppose emotes aren't the best way to show that. Considering my own schedule is pretty fluid, I get it.

@Bart: There are no "fixed" posting times in this game. Occasionally the GMs will say, we will start posting at [insert a time here] but that isn't an ongoing thing. We aren't going by one person's timetable. When GM Lefty and I are available to post and can see there is at least half the group available, we shall post and continue. People can catch up when they have time.

Ninja'd by Lefty. Though I swear the above posts weren't there when I posted mine. Ah well.

Huh, Bart must be a really good liar. XD Not even a little curiosity about Alar.

I know how you feel :)

Ayreth, Alar was actually Shadow Blending when he came out. Though he didn't gain concealment or anything because there was no, well, shadows or anything aside from fricking sun light, it does change his appearance to that of a shadow-y Lion when it's active. She'll get a chance to see the starry form another time, but for now Alar is trying to remain hidden from the group. XD

acknowledged, I will amend my post.

Thanks!

@All: GM Lefty has called it a night due to feeling unwell. Please finalise your plans for the goblin prisoner. I will be around for some rp but I'm in the middle of my work day and multitasking when I can. I know some have told me they need to get to bed on time tonight as they have work early in the morning -- and that's not a problem. If you guys would rather, we can move quickly through the goblin interview ... Make a list of the questions you want to ask it (and necessary checks/rolls) and I can give you a post with any/all answers. This will expedite the process.

Tomorrow we will begin afresh on your journey to the swamp ... and the search for the missing Leeara.

Who are the people that can speak Gob? XD

wake up and 52 posts. Will catch up later today.

Paul can. He's ready to do so when needed; but for now he's going to go scouting for a bit.

Haha, sorry. It happens when there are 3-4 people on at the same time.

Edit: Thinking.... seems weird to bust out a CLW on someone we might execute within the hour.

You replied to Gii after the fifteen minutes were up, Paul. He'd be ready to cast it right then, because it's a standard action.

Maybe interview the goblin and then search for possible tracks. I leave the decision ultimately to you.

Blue did a LoH on the goblin and he is conscious now.

Paul would have scouted the perimeter during the 15 minutes just to make sure they weren't ambushed by any backup guys.

I don't expect anything, but that is what he would have done instead of standing around - you know, try to be busy...

GM Right: Survival Check to Track (any modifiers for tracking four mounted riders?) -
1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 1 = 27

Meantime, I got to crash out - see you all tomorrow!

@Paul: I included the modifiers ... Thanks for the roll. Result on game play.

Night!

Feel better soon, GML.

I wonder if this is one of those GM moments of "Hmmm, didn't expect the players to care so much about that."

Not trying to speak for anyone. For expediency, these are the questions I think he wanted to ask(feel free to add to the list):

a)Do they have a camp?

b)How many are based out of their camp if they have one?

c)Where is the camp, both direction and distance, if they have one?

d)Why are they hunting so close to the town?

e)Is there some reason they are out of the mountains i.e. did something drive them out?

Hope that helps.

Have they seen a person matching Leera's description? Did they see the object fall from the sky? Have they seen the prospectors?

Are you going to use Diplomacy or Intimidate with the goblin? Whichever you decide, I will need a roll/check, please.

The ball is in your court, adventurers. What will Paul ask the goblin, and how will he go about it? And what will the reaction of the others be?

If there is nothing done about the goblin by tomorrow, I'll just assume you all have left him to his own devices and moved on into the swamp.

We have sent several questions in; I think we are waiting for Paul who can actually speak the language.

Just waiting for Paul to ask the questions, I think.

Same! The other guys put any questions out there before I could ask them. XD

I'm terribly sorry about not posting today (except for earlier today before work).

I will put something up soon; I've had a rather rough time lately in my personal life and was trying to rest a little today. Anyhow, I'm sorry for holding up the game; I'll have something up soon, though.

Don't worry about it, man. We've already done like four or five weeks of PbP play since the game started. I've never been in a game that moves nearly as quickly as this one.

Thanks, Gii, I appreciate that :)

I am sorry for the delay, though. Anyway, I made the post, so that's good news. I should have more up tomorrow as soon as I can.

If anyone wants to help out with my crappy diplomacy roll, I'm totally open to any Aid Checks, though. If I get 2 successful checks from nice people, then I manage to get a total of 25 - hopefully that'll be enough to mellow him out a little...

I'm more than willing to Aid Another with my Diplomacy, I just don't know if I can help without speaking Goblin.

Could coach him a little. XD If the goblin doesn't understand you, or even if it does, telling Paul to ease up a little could work to justify an aid another.

Just nod encouragingly - maybe be a little stern so you don't come off as a weakling (as they respect strength over just about anything). Then after the nod or stern expression you could maybe offer him some water, or some food to snack on...

Basically something that says to him - "You won't be hurt if you do what we ask" or maybe something that says - "You may not like me, but we can do business together without having to kill each other..."

If you have any Cantrips/Orisons that can Aid a players Roll in any way, I'll take those, too :)

Sadly, I don't have Guidance memorized. I can pretty easily conjure some water, but Gii doesn't have a cup or anything.

He can definitely do the imposing part... well, at least against a target that comes up to his knees.

What am I going to do with you, Gii? ;)

I suppose you could just offer him some jerky or something to snack on in the meantime...

Meanwhile, Paul is going to make a shopping list for you next time you're in town which should include: waterskins, mess kit and a wand of Guidance ;)

As soon as you guys decide if and how you're going to attempt to aid Paul, I'll put up the goblin's responses, folks.

I'm makin' it rain up in here.

Ok, folks. I've got to hit the hay, but we'll pick it up again tomorrow. Cheers. :)

Hey Paul! Sorry to bug you before I post, but did Paul translate everything the goblin said to the group?

Hey Paul! Sorry to bug you before I post, but did Paul translate everything the goblin said to the group?

Yes, Paul would certainly have translated everything.

To be fair, he's not too comfortable/trusting about goblins; but he knows their species, their culture and their language. He would not only translate everything that the goblin said, but he would also translate any questions you guys had.

Bart and Blue Heron both are for letting the goblin Rtak go, If there's no other voices/objections to that by tomorrow, we'll just assume that the party frees him and moves on towards the swamp.

He can go

Hello, all.

I'd like to say that I'm sorry for any grammar or spelling errors; I have been having some serious issues with my health lately - it may have effected some of the quality of my writing during the posting; though I did what I could to fix any errors that I noticed.

I hope you all have a good night and sorry again for any issues my health may be having on the game.

On the plus side, since I am unable to sleep for more than af ew hours, it is likely that i will be able to post tomorrow when I am home from work.

@Paul: Look after your health, first and foremost. Please get some rest.
