So, did we work on selling the stuff from the raid? I know that the bouncers got the armor, shields, and weapons. Did we decide to do anything with the other things?

Nope. Still have to sell it. Think we hit that timing problem with PbP games.

Got to compile and edit that list again. I'm pretty sure you mentioned what you took for Mutt's boys.

Yep. I did mention it in the gameplay thread.


.

Honestly, you can handle it retroactively. I just need to know what's being sold.

FYI, I am heading to Texas for BoardgameGeek con, and will have limited internet until Sunday. I will check in at breakfast and before bed, but feel free to bot me as needed.

Have fun!

Life should be settling out now so I can return to regular posting schedule. My apologies for being all over the place this week.

First time PbPing, so I'm starting to see some of the weaknesses in the style. Notably the situation with the wererat interrogation. My habit on tabletop is let the person with the ranks in social skills do the talking. Though I see here that it can lead to a situation where people agree to do something (Interrogate the wererat) but nobody's quite sure how to begin.

Well, I just posted to try and get something going.


.

Yeah, also it doesn't help that Variel is in Texas and he's kind of the talker here ;) But yeah, always find a way to push. I can roll Variel's stuff if necessary.

Hey, I have an idea. How about we get the wererat to tell Saul or Ziphras that they killed us. Then, we secretly get the bouncers and Samaritha back on our side and surprise Saul with a raid of our own with guys on the inside.


.

If you can somehow communicate that to your compatriots in-game, it sounds like a fun idea! :D

I'm thinking of doing a post in the in-character thread to start on the plan.


.

Hey folks, I've done this with my other games so thought it was due for this one. Most people who play RPGs are familiar with Order of the Stick (which Thaddeus actually introduced me to); a long-running webcomic that began as a spoof of D&D 3.5 and has now turned into a pretty great epic fantasy. It has a unique art style.

So since we're nearing the end of the first book of Second Darkness, here's a thank you for sticking through with me on this - the party rendered in Order of the Stick Style. I

Link.

Thanks!

although I kinda imagined Fiona's skin being a bit darker, but oh well

Hah, that takes two seconds to fix. I'll upload a v2 once I'm home. The characters don't take too long so I can change whatever you want.

I introduced you to that? Huh, that must have been a while ago, as I can't recall that. Probably just mentioned it around the game table one day.

Either way, pretty snazzy. Though it seems Thaddeus is getting a reputation now. Thinking he should take up chewin' chaw if he's going to have this hanging over him.

Okay, so since we never did this...

Loot from the Gold Goblin assault was:

Loot:

- 13 short swords
- 10 suits of studded leather
- 10 short bows
- 100 arrows
- 3 suits chainmail
- 3 heavy steel shields
- 3 longswords
- 70 gp, 83 sp, 134 cp
- an Amulet of Natural Armour +1
- a silver and platinum necklace

Mutt's Boys took

- 3 suits of chainmail
- 3 heavy steel shields
- 6 short swords
- 6 short bows
- 90 arrows (15 each)

In return, they threw three suits of studded leather into the pile

Variel took the amulet of natural armour. We failed to appraise the necklace. I'm pretty sure we never actually divvied up the gold we got, either So that leaves:

- 7 short swords (Sale price 5gp = 35gp total)
- 13 suits of studded leather (Sale price 12.5gp = 287.5gp total)
- 4 short bows (Sale price 15gp = 60gp total)
- 10 arrows (Sale price .25gp, assuming we can sell half a quiver full)
- 3 longswords (Sale price 7.5gp = 22.5gp total)
- Aforementioned 70gp, 83sp, 134cp.

Assuming we didn't sell the necklace, that means in total we got:

484 gp, 8sp, 9cp. (Trading up any values of sp and cp over 10)

Dividing by 5, we each get 96gp, 9sp, and 7cp. We have 4cp left over in remainder. I won't make assumptions on where this goes, though 'spending it on a cheap victory round' is a nice standby. Also, maybe hold off on writing this down until I confirm everything above is correct. Mostly that I copied what Mutt took correctly.

-----

It occurs to me that we never said we were looting the dead wererats, being mostly concerned with getting away from the cockroach swarm. We do have one with us, though.

Also, I made a mistake in thinking one got away. Rereading the combat posts, one was trying to get away, but Kwava tagged him with an arrow before he could. Still not a bad idea to lay low for a while, but for different reasons this time.

I love it! Now, I have to fully read OotS. I always imagined Mutt's skin tone being in between the olive skin of a varisian and the skin tone of a shoanti. There's also the blue tattoo on his face. But it's cool.

Now, I want OotS style short comics of our best and funniest moments.


.

Thaddeus you're a God amongst men, thanks for doing that. And yeah, you told me about it at our gaming group around nine years ago. Time flies!

Hey Fiona, what skin tone are you thinking? And with Mutt, did I get his tone right? And I'll try making a short comic at some point. It's fun, relaxing, and requires zero artistic talent. :D

Regarding Fiona's skin colour, I imagined her having dark brown skin instead of the tanned tone she's currently sporting.

Okay. I have added my share of the treasure to my alias. Still don't have enough for masterwork weapons.


.

This AP is lamentably light on loot to start out, and I've added a bunch. It'll pick up. Promise :D

As long as the loot is in line with the expectations of how well geared we should be, it's all good. :)

Whelp, if Mutt is cool with the listed loot, then let's make it official. Again, everyone gets:

96gp, 9sp, and 7cp.

Did anyone want to hold on to the Amulet for now?

The bouncers were fired and one of them is missing? Who is it?! I don't want to lose any of them... or Fetch!


Male Dwarf Rng 2/Rog 1 | A 16 T 13 F 13 | hp 24/27 | F +5 R +8 W +2 | In +5 | Per +8

Being primarily a ranged combatant, I'd ask one of our melee specialists to use the amulet.

I'm hoping our 'missing' bouncer is hiding out inside the building somewhere. Are the kitchen and waitstaff still employed. What about Samira (that's the name of the sorceress, isn't it)?


'Yasraena Zauviir'|DR: 2/-|Spell Slots: 1st: 6/6; 2nd: 5/5; 3rd: 4/4|Performance Rounds: 27/28|Female Human (Shoanti) Skald 9|AC: 20/13/17 (19/12/16 in Raging Song)|HP: 67/67|Saves: Fort: +9, Ref: +6, Will: +8 (+11 in Raging Song) (+4 vs. Bardic Performance, Sonic, Language-Dependent, +1 vs Fear)|Init: +6|Perc: +14

Samaritha. And I hope so, too.

GM, would I be able to make a Bluff roll to spread misinformation & rumours about the Gold Goblin?

Mutt: Find out in our next exciting episode of: Shadow in the Sky!

Bofur: The note says what the note says.

Fiona: Absolutely!

Illuminate an ignorant colonialist. What's the subtleties between the US and UK use of it? Looking it up, it seems to be that the North American Use is more misogynistic, used mostly on woman or men to insult their masculinity, while in the UK it's more general purpose.

My mistake, I meant the nonmagical necklace. Variel already has the amulet.

In the UK it's not considered as hateful and misogynistic, yeah. It's just a strong insult.

A suggestion for Michal's cousin's name... how about Valeria?

Don't have any names that leap out at me, but borrowing a few from Fire Emblem:

Isadora, Lena, Minia, Lucia, Amalda...

Hmmm, lot of names ending with -a, there.


'Zov' Male Human (Varisian/Shoanti) Bloodrager (primalist) 9 | AC 19 T 12 FF 19 | Damage Reduction 1/- | HP 54/90 | F +10 R +4 W +6 (+1 morale bonus to all saves vs fear) | Init +4 | Perc +13

As for the OotS picture, Mutt 's skin tone should be a bit darker. Otherwise, it's fine.

As for names, I'm torn between Valeria and Isadora.


.

Hrrrm. I vote Isadora.

Also, as an ooc note you guys have really gone above and beyond this AP. Second Darkness is... well, it has holes in it, and your interest in inventing, and pursuing your own leads has really added a lot of life to the plot of this game. I love it! I dunno how familiar you are with the AP, but a good deal of this has been 'off script', which makes things more fun for me.

And now because of that, there's no need for Mutt to roll a bunch of checks in skills he doesn't have. You don't need to roll diplomacy at the Publican House, you go to the guy who runs it because you have a deal with him and he's an ally, not to mention family connections Mutt has invented. You also all have friends at at the temple here, the Cyphermages through Thaddeus, and the Mission (particularly the blind pigeon dude), maybe something else I've forgotten.

Mutt has no need to roll knowledge local and hope it's a 10 skill check when he has Variel and Fiona in the party. They may just know where the tailoring shop is if he cares to ask.

Okay. Sorry about that. I'm just used to rolling for diplomacy.

So, for names, it looks like Isadora wins out. It's a nice name.


.

No need to apologise! But you guys have put substantial game time into making Riddleport your own - and you can reap those rewards because of it.

Seems there's some love for Isadora.

This is the character I got the name from, in case you were curious. I doubt the real Isadora has blue hair, granted.

Looking back, I saw that the priest who ran the Salvation didn't have a name. So I titled him Father Walker.

And I get the sense that Bofur isn't even on the same continent, though I could be wrong there.

LOL! Yes, I'm smack dab in the middle of Germany. but I have a lot to be thankful for, so Happy Thanksgiving right back at you all!

I had chicken curry with mango last night. It was good, but no turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes with brown sugar and pecans, corn, green beans, carrots, cranberry sauce, biscuits, and pumpkin pie! (As you can see, I have had the experience of a true American Thanksgiving. It was delicious and very filling. As in coma-inducing filling. I think I slept for two days.

Despite being in the US, my Thanksgiving consisted of making gingerbread for my wife,s then playing Star Trek Online for 12 hours. Breakfast was basic bacon and eggs, with a big bowl of cheese dip and chips for late lunch. ;-) I consider that a well-spent holiday.

(My dad and brother are in Texas, and my 18-yo had thanksgiving dinner with college friends.)

How much do you guys reckon we should offer each of them to leave the premises? I'm ballparking it at around 20 GP myself.


Male Dwarf Rng 2/Rog 1 | A 16 T 13 F 13 | hp 24/27 | F +5 R +8 W +2 | In +5 | Per +8

It's a handsome wage for a couple days' work.

Thats why I asked Spiderbeard what their wage was, so I had the right range.

Boss?


.

Sorry, turns out that vacation means I'm far less reliable. Posting times may get weird for December, sorry!

The bouncers at the Gold Goblin got 2 sp a day for their work, which is sort of a step above untrained work. The bouncers are warrior 2 meaning they're not professionals, but are experienced. Michal makes 3 sp a day with his newly negotiated wage as the de facto second in command.

These guys look like professionals. They're older, have a more battle-hardened look to them, and Saul hired them all VERY quickly. Keep in mind two days ago you were all still working at the Goblin. So rather than tough-looking goons, they may be professional mercenaries or the like and thus 3sp a day minimum.

Pocket change to adventurers, but keep in mind Saul got them all quickly. That was probably not cheap.

edit: Twenty gold is easily enough. :D

Yeah, I had been thinking 20 gold for the crew, not 20 each. I'm not sure we have that much, unless there are only a few of them. How many are there?
