Drow War Team 1

Game Master Tarlane

I don't know if you guys have seen it, but the gameplay thread is back up!

I had guessed that the fault fell at starting the game late in the day on a Friday before most people are quiet over the weekend. Hopefully the others will catch around back tomorrow.

Alright, now we've got two. I'm just letting everyone establish themselves before we move along at all.

Sorry, work is a bit crazy, I'll have a post up tonight.

Man, we are kicking off our return session with a bunch of downers!

Sorry, was in Nashville all weekend for birthday vampire gaming goodness!! :)

He he, indeed! We will get on the road, eventually...

Man, we are kicking off our return session with a bunch of downers!

You brought it on yourself. :P

Man, it feels great to slip back into Mogwai's mind. I have missed that little guy.

I think we all have.

Just waiting for our friend the drow to return from his vampirism and then I'll jumpstart things a bit. Starting with an event can hopefully help get us all back in the swing of things plus it may give you an easier in for the town.

And we've definitely all missed the goblin. All of you guys had a great back and forth with each other.

I made a dumb joke in the in play thread crossing my fingers about the goblin not being able to burrow, but it actually brought flashbacks to a RL skull and shackles game I did.

We had a goblin oracle in it and instead of picking up things that most people would feel as powerful, he had managed to secure himself several different forms of movement within the first couple levels. Whenever some sort of unusual challenge came up he was oddly prepared because of it.

"We need a lookout, race to the top of the mast!" Oh, I have a climb speed. Of course you do. "Man overboard!" Oh, I've got a swim speed.

The idea of a goblin with a burrow speed both terrifies me and makes perfect sense.

Hahaha, that would be amazing. Sadly, I don't have one.

Yet...

The mole man cometh...

BTW, I am away this weekend. Back teatime Sunday.

I think we need to make a decision; at the moment we are all holding fire pending Mogwai's behaviour. I am of the opinion that this creature is likely to die regardless (the poison is in it's system) and if we don't take it down, it will kill someone (either a farmer or one of us). If we do take it down it's likely to put us in favour with the local law and should give us the opportunity to show him the poison bolt and explain what's happening.

That does sound pretty accurate(at least that we are holding waiting for Mogwai since everyone seems to be listening to him), but the assumptions are pretty solid too.

Saving the creature is going to be much harder and definitely harder to explain to the villagers than killing it, but if you are able to do it without more injury, that may bode better to your morale compass

Well, I don't really care for the creature in these tough times, but if Mogwai wants to try something, let him do it ^_^

Sorry for the delay, gang, I'll have a post up within an hour.

Sorry guys, had my day get hectic on me and am running on fumes. I'll have a decent post up tomorrow(though it will probably be early afternoon).

Well crap... apparently I missed a ton!?

I got Tarlane's message today and thought I would hop over and see a few posts... nope... 40 new posts on both threads. Well crap! I am excited to see this going again, but as many of you know, since our move, life has been pretty crazy. We are still trying to get some consistency in our schedule, but I would love to get back into this game. So here is what I will say, give me the weekend, and I will try and catch up by Monday and get a post or two up along the way. If you need to DMPC me until then feel free.

Good to have you back.

Sounds great, Brutus and welcome back!

Right now I've just been having you be a bit quiet after the business with the goblins. Things have gotten started, but nothing too heavy has occurred in the gameplay thread, just a bit of an encounter to get back into things.

You are more than welcome to pop in how you can, and I know there have been lots of changes, so if things are a bit slower for you, that is totally understandable. Can't wait to see you back among us.

I realize its the weekend but we had gotten totally quiet on the game thread and I just wanted to make sure that we weren't waiting for something, or I hadn't missed anything that needed posting.

I was going to see if somebody else wanted to respond.

Remember guys, you don't need to always make a Diplomacy check while talking, especially after I already made such a good one.

Well, for my part I haven't yet spotted the means of poisoning so I haven't figured out exactly what's going on, other than Mogwai claiming it was poisoned. I thought Mogwai better explain it.

Those rolls, though.

I'm just going to run with the assumption that she was clearly fated to make an impression and look cool doing it. Even if she might be breaking Mogwais' heart.

Everyone breaks Mogwai's heart. :(

Good thing Mogwai's got a big heart. :D

and a self-healing function, or so I hope...

<ruffles Mogwai's hair*> I won't break yer heart little buddy.

And the next person who does just might get run through with a legendary sword.

There's an evil drow lying deep inside your heart, Vorik....

And once more I am back in the land of the living. I know, this is getting redundant, but things did not go quite as planned last week. I went to the hospital last Sunday with stomach pain, Monday morning I had my appendix taken out, and I have been trying to recover sense. So when I got online this morning I realized I hadn't checked paizo in more than a week and felt bad. So, again, let me catch up, and I will try and get a post in this week.

Welcome back to the world of the living, chosen one!

Yeah, we missed you, but take all the time you need.

Man, if I had my appendix taken out I wouldn't be able to give you guys info on any of the countries or anything.

Glad to have you back and that you recovering and starting to bounce back, that is by far the most important.

We had a bit of a quiet week, so you didn't miss too much on that front. We were letting Mogwai take the lead a bit since he was in savior mode and I know his player is getting swamped with the real world as well, so we are giving that a more gentle pace.

Get yourself rested and feeling alright and know you are welcome whenever you are able to dive in with us again.

Yeah, I've been super busy since starting a new job ~5 weeks ago. I hadn't taken a single day off, including weekends. A streak which was only broken on Tuesday when my father had a heart attack. So now I've been at the hospital. It seems like he might make a full recovery, but things are still a bit up in the air. I am hoping that things will be resolved and I'll be back in action soon.

No problem at all, we have noticed your absence Mogwai, but I don't think there was any grumpiness about it, we all understand that real-life peeks in. Especially with such a major event, family has to come first. Take good care of him, get settled in your job and we'll be here crushing your goblin spirits when your world is more normal again.

Bump

This goes to all my games: I'll probably be MIA until the 8th. Please forgive my absence and take any actions that seem appropriate to my character.

Been a week since the last post. Is anyone still out there, or can I assume that RL has taken everybody away.

I just typed a better answer to this and the net ate it. I had been thinking about a message like this before I saw this is what the new post was.

This is an inredible group and easily one of the most memorable games I have played. Between the time and all the life changes in lives it doesnt seem we can capture that momentum again. Im happy to listen to everyones opinion, but Im feeling likethere is a sense of having wanted the game back from us all even when that made it a burden in some ways.

You guys are all great and I think that friendship will remain even if we decide to let it lie.

My life has been somewhat up in the air, and I could have communicated things better for sure, but honestly I've been here and waiting. I have Mogwai's next post in mind, and have for a while, but I didn't want to move us to the next morning until Vorik had a chance to do whatever he had in mind for the night.

I'll understand if the consensus is to drop it, but I'm certainly interested in still continuing.

Ok, it would appear I am at least partly to blame, as I have not posted a reply of any sort to Apple. I have been busy with a couple other games, including having to make some characters for some new ones. So I am sorry for having held up things.

Not sure how the others feel, but I am very excited to be playing Vorik again, alongside my motley crew of heroes. You're also a pretty great GM.

That being said, would us skipping ahead to the capital rob us of a lot of potential extra plot and good RP? If not, or if it's just a small amount of stuff we'd miss, perhaps that's the best course?

Truth is, any of us could have replied to Apple, even if it's just to say no thank you. I did consider it, but I felt I had been hogging the posts a bit so I thought I'd leave it to another (that's my story, and I'm sticking to it).

Well, I was really busy this last month, but now I'll go back to normal. Let's get this moving guys!

is there anyone there?

I'm still here.

Looks like it's just you and me, Mogwai.
