Does this howl count as a fear/emotion effect? And how far away is the wolf from the party? Could I catch up and hit it with a charge?
It is indeed a fear effect, and the wolf is fifty five feet away, down the corridor and into the pitch black room beyond. You would be able to get it with a charge.
Do I realize something is wrong with the stairwell quickly enough to get off of in time? Should I make a save?
you realize instantly, nothing is happening yet.
I won't be able to make a post next day or two. Just a heads up.
Thats fine Vinnick, I understand.

Today is international GM day, so a round of applause for the man trying to kill us all!
*Slowly claps from the shadows*
Sorry guys, but I hope it's clear I'm not actually angry. I just figured that would be how a prideful character would respond to someone mentioning something obvious as a 'how didn't you notice' sort of comment. Please don't brain Aerrodin with an axe and/or otherwise mutilate him.
Just want to clarify: two exits to the west, one of which the wolf came down, smashed the door, and then ran back. There's an exit to the east as well, along with a bookshelf, right? Also, do the stairs lead upwards to a balcony in the room, or just up and into the wall to another room?
To clarify, there are two Doors on the west wall, and one door to the east. The stairs ascend up to a balcony/landing area, but you can't tell much more than that.
The wolf came through one of the two hallways that are about ten feet north of the western door and the eastern bookcase.
I hope this makes the mental map much clearer
Also Elijah, the wolf ran back the same way it came from /western hallway/
oh, somehow I got mixed up in my mind..well at least that leaves a few options for us...after Orpheus gets a little better.
this is the way i kinda envision it in my head...anywhere close?
Very close to what I had in mind, the corridors need to be turned 90 degrees, but then that is very close.
Edit
The doors should have 5 ft between them, and the northern west door should mirror the bookcase, and the southern west and southern east doors should be across from each other too.
Okay, so the wolf burst from the northwestern door, and then ran back that way, right?
As for the flies we fought earlier, they came from the open north-eastern passage, right? So the only door that's been opened is the one the wolf burst through?
I was thinking: could you provide us two descriptions of the rooms we enter? One with full flavor, and the other giving us the basic specs, such as behind a spoiler?
I know it's a lot, but I feel it's what we needed coming in, in addition to the dread and foreboding.
I can try.... :/ this is kinda difficult xp
The flies came from the eastern /Hallway/ the wolf came from the western /hallway/
The doors are all closed securely, and none have been opened except the one on the east wall, which was opened but unexplored...
OH! Okay, now things make sense! Thank you!
Yeah, sorry for being so demanding. I'm just use to dealing with relatively concrete maps, so I like having the special relations of the room.
On another note: am I posting too much? I'm worried because I feel like I've had a lot of dialogue recently, and I just want to make sure I'm not stealing anyone else's thunder. I don't have a firm grasp of what's okay on here and what's not... am I doing alright as a whole?
Updated map, from above link. Tried to incorporate the views expressed by GM and to help better orient ourselves within the game.
Anyone can view and comment on the map above, will edit as the GM feels necessary :)
Nah, seems good to me Aerrodin,
Elijah, fill in the spaces between the hallways and the stairs and it will look perfect (moving the desks to either side of the stairs, and keeping the stairs where they are at now)
Sorry to let you down, but I have to quit this game. I have been enjoying playing with all of you - but my real life has become busy to a point where I just don't have time to play a PBP anymore.
Okay Friendly Lich, I understand....
I hope things get better for you...
and so the dire wolf claims the manor's first victim..
Not quite... Muahahahahaaa... Orpheus will be DMPC'd until further notice
Hey Lich, sorry to see you go. Hopefully things will work out better in the future.
Sorry to see you go!
Hiya people, sorry to be posting so quickly, but Kvina is moving out of the wings to take the stage... I'm sorry it had to happen so soon, much less at all. I look forward to playing with you though!
bump?
Elijah, you alive?
Thia, you alive?
Vinnick, you alive?
HGUUUGHHH AHK!, BLUUUURRRRKKKK!
Busy couple of days. Sorry for the absence. Going to bed soon, will try to get post up before than.
Boo?
sorry kvina, but you are just a touch ahead of time, you will be entering the house fairly soon, but not quite yet :D
Okay, good to hear.
I'll be a bit sporadic this week, I've got midterms. Move me along as needed!
I've got one this Friday, then spring break... I'll still be posting, but it will probably be only once a day, probably mid-afternoon, as I won't have internet where I'm going, so I'll have to go out to post.
Best of luck on your exams Thia!
Well, this is pretty good news...
Aerrodin is out sporadically, Thia is out sporadically, and I don't have electricity until Friday at the soonest...
:/
Well I hope you get it back sooner rather than later.
My computer just died so posting from phone for the interim.
Are we not waiting to see if Vinnick is cool with Maia scouting for us?
So, who's still in, and who is just taking a hiatus for spring break/other reasons? Can someone tell me?
Also, how big is the room, and is there anything that looked like a fireplace by chance?
The room is a rectangle, stretching north. it is roughly 25' length-wise, and 12' width wise. the door is roughly ten feet north of the southern wall.
Is that good enough?
There is not a fireplace, this room is more like a sun-room, with large windows to the south, but they are grimy and covered in dust.
Ah, ok. Thank you.
I laughed my ass off at the last post.
Aerrodin, you are such a wonderful storyteller
Glad to here my smarting off is appreciated. :) BTW, I know it was a low roll, but did I recognize the emblem?
You rolled pretty low, so I'll rule that it will be a niggling little thing, on the tip of your tongue until she says the name.
Come on people, this is not going to die. I refuse to let it.
Gandalf moment, "Post you fools!" [falls into crack]
I doubt Elijah would have finished his watch. The reason we were attacked was because I was getting out of my armor at the end of my watch, so at best he had been up for 10 minutes.
EDIT: Oh, sorry, missed the last line, I guess.
This is true. He did not finish his watch. In fact he just started it, but that doesn't matter
How late into the night is this, or did nothing more happen? Can we assume that it's the next morning, and start preparing for the day?
