The king is dead! In the Varisian port city of Korvosa, the death of a monarch leads to chaos. It's up to a band of bold adventurers to stop the spread of tyranny before all of Korvosa is crushed beneath the queen's iron fist.

Anyone seen the GM? I hope Zimmer's okay, it'd be kind of bad to lose two GM's before we even got that far into the adventure.

Well, it's been almost a week. Should we give him more time or see about getting another GM?
I don't want to seem callous, but I was really looking forward to what was happening. I hope all is well with Zimmer.

I'm inclined to give him time. He seems as interested in the game as we all are, and I'd prefer to hear from him if he thinks it's going to be too hard to keep up with GMing. Him disappearing seems to me like it was something unavoidable - hopefully we'll hear back from him soon.

Sorry to make you worry.

Responded to your PM.

I think we're out of initiative, though if there's someone in this room, I may have just tipped it back on by opening the door. I'm still upstairs, you and Fredo are downstairs. I think Tristain is coming down to check for Trina? Theron's up here with me.

Oops, my mistake I thought we were missing somebody. Turns out that's not the case. I feel like I'm reading a book and I got the the good part, but I can't read any further and it's starting to drive me a little nuts.
Tristain did say he was searching the goon you guys have up stairs.

If we'd gone in during the day, Durriken, Yargin would have been in the room you just opened. There would also have been way fewer Lambs around.

@ Tristain:
You found small-sized leather armor on the boy Raseri and Durriken mercilessly cut down. Was I unclear on that point when you looted his corpse?

Yes, I clearly missed it, but, then again, I'm easily confuzzled and the delays in posting addle my memory.

Heh, not to worry. I've had to watch how I spell it. At least you ogt close and only added an extra 'l'.
Sorry if I am rushing head long into this. Having a little sister in real life gives me some insight in to how I would act if she was suddenly gone.
As far as getting on the boat, Raseri's going to suggest that they use her rope and the grappling hook. She is also going to suggest they knot it to make the climb easier.

I think you're playing it perfectly, especially for a barbarian prone to fits of uncontrollable rage. I'm still having trouble fine-tuning Durriken's attitude, keeping him rough around the edges, and not turning him into a fairly good guy too quickly.
Male Chelaxian Void Wizard 5
You've got nothing to be sorry for, Raseri. If you're worried about pacing, well, a little push isn't such a bad thing now and again.
As far as having doubts about characterization goes, I feel like the choice I made for Goffred's arcane bond doesn't fit his personality, and that he'd be better off with a familiar. Oh well.

Trying to thin their numbers isn't a bad strategy. It's just that when there's only one intruder into their territory, they're going to focus down that one person.

Okay, now might be a good time to discuss tactics. I was planning on charging Yargin, cutting him down and then getting at Lamm to find out where Alfhildr is.
Unless Durriken want's first strike at Yargin then she'll run around to corner Lamm.
That croc is going to be a problem, unless Tristain can sweet-talk it. If not, Theron, Raseri, and anyone else with a bow might want to start pelting it after taking care of Yargin and Lamm. Goffred might want to let the door clear so he can move in.
Any other ideas?
M Human - Loon 14 AC: 13 (11 FF) CMD (20/18) CMB +5 Fort +8; Ref +10; Will +14
It'll take too long for Tristain to sweet talk the croc (1 minute usually).
Tristain will shoot first (magic stone) and move to heal/aid attack.

Until Gobblegut's dead, it's probably a bad idea to hang out on the walkway. So meleers should get over to Y14, and after Yargin's dead, Y15, as quickly as possible. Ranged folks and casters should either cluster in and north of AF13 or get to Y14 after the meleers vacate it. Once Gobblegut's dead, of course, our options multiply.

Well, depending on what Lamm's answer to Raseri's question is, tactics may become moot point for her. and based on what Zimmer has said and what I've read in the AP (I'll keep metagaming to an absolute minimum), it's pretty likely that you may get see Ras in a very, very scary state.
