Sorry for my lame posting. This class I'm taking is an accelerated course and between that and work spare time is virtually non-existent. I will get back into it ASAP.

Dom, What class are you taking?
No problem Domi, work often takes precident. :)
So far everyones failed, if you want to fill the gameplay thread with idle chatter for a while guys its fine btw. What would you normally do while riding around on a cool spring day?
to be honest having a quiet couple of days played out well for me, it was my partners birthday yesterday so i took her out and at the start of the week work was hellish.
We can get back on track now though.

Sorry, this course is really taking up all of my free time. It's another three weeks before it ends.

Off to Thailand for a week. Back on 31st.
Slow posting this week with andrej away and domitian studying. Not to worried about it but it would be nice for you guys to decide what you want to do.
Don't mind waiting as long as i know we're all in.

I am ready to press forward. I am not in favor of killing the kobolds.

Press forward. I am available to post multiple times a day. I don't care to kill the kobolds, but want to grab some mushrooms.

"Well, I think we should talk to them. They've eating some of those radishes Svetlana wanted. Maybe we can talk them out of some of them. They'll probably know more about the area too.
Of course, that relies on being able to talk to them. If none of us speaks kobold (or draconic?), maybe one of them knows common.
I can go in, all unthreatening, but I'd like to have the rest of you spread out a little ways back in case they are hostile."
Assuming no one objects or has another plan, Sergei will take some of his rations from his saddlebag and head back to the kobold clearing, giving the others a little time to get into position.
Take 10 Stealth = 17
I assume Catfoot stayed watching them, while I reported back.
Sorry I steal about 3 minutes a day to try and post. I have to read very quickly. I work 10 hours and have a ridiculous course load on top of it.
The Kobolds seem more scared than dangerous. Lounging on a cool day eating a snack is no crime and hurting no one. I would not like to hurt them until/if they become hostile.

I can relate Domitian. I recently finished my MBA as a full time student while working full time during a time when my company was being purchased by another company. I had the equivalent of 2.5 full time jobs for 2 years.
Everyone has a life at the end of the day, if you've got a lot of stuff on at the moment i'm sure everyone can relate to that. Don't worry about posting to much and get your course sorted and keep us posted.
A lot of the encounters in the first book can be solved without resorting to initiative, when combat comes around i'll roll your perception and init checks for you and you can post your actions when you get time.

Thanks DM lol My default action is to unleash my phenomenal cosmic fury and destroy everything... or mage armor whichever is easier!
Sergei? I understand that sometimes RL takes precident but its been a while with no word, your on centre stage at the moment and its a little hard to move things along without you.

Will be on business travel tomorrow
When we started this i did post in the recruitment thread that i'd be looking for 10 posts across a week per player and we're currently no where near that.
I know some people have issues on certain days but we need to pick up the post count and move the plot on, i'm not willing to entirely hand wave encounters based on lack of response but if anyone has an issue i'd rather see a post in the discussion thread about it than no posts in gameplay.

I think we are all a little confused about what to do. I check the boards 8-10x a day, but am unaware of which direction to go in. How can we work with you to move tHe plot along?

We haven't hit our rhythm... post counts help but as a team we haven't really gel'ed together.
In any case I'll try to step up my post count but an open ended sandbox like KM needs a bit more GM push on occassion, including deadlines (ie if nothing is posted by X date then I'll proceed)
If you want me to be a little more pushy with encounters i can be but i am worried about people not having time to post.
This relatively simple kobold encounter is a roleplaying encounter but everyone seems to be the strong silent type who doesn't want to get involved, if people had got stuck in and talked to the kobolds we'd have done a few posts and had it over quickly.
I'll be posting all today so we'll try the deadline Andrej suggested, i'll end the kobold encounter at 9pm tonight, its 8:30am at the moment. Silva needs a day to hunt for game to trade so the PC's need to delay the kobolds leaving to give him time, if you can't do that via talking you may need to do it through force.
After that we can try to do an encounter per week, some will take longer due to combat rounds but these talky encounters should be quite fast, sound ok to everyone?

I will do my best to support. 3-4 posts a day is not a problem for me through the week.
I've updated the map, took me a little longer than i thought but thats looking after a baby for you!
Lets aim for a decision on what to do next by tomorrow evening, weather you want to head back to the trading post, explore some more or head down to the bandit camp.
To give you an idea if you head straight back to the trading post now you won't level up though you are close.
M Gnome - Alternalte Racial Traie Pryomaniac Oracle of Fire / 3 (Per: +1 Init:+1 HP 21/21 AC: 20/12/18 F: +1 R: +1 W: +2)
The link is not working for me.
What would be ideal is if we could explore some hexes on the way back and level up before we hit the bandits again. Not sure if that is feasible since I can't see the map.
I missed a ] out, its fixed now.
Paladin of Erastil-3/ Init:+1, Perception:-1, AC:18/11/17, CMD:19, HP:28, Fort:6 (11 vs cold), Ref:4, Will:4
I think are fine to hit the camp now. Up to you though.
M Gnome - Alternalte Racial Traie Pryomaniac Oracle of Fire / 3 (Per: +1 Init:+1 HP 21/21 AC: 20/12/18 F: +1 R: +1 W: +2)
Working now. Thanks!
I guess I need some guidance on how exploration works. How can I tell if we have "explored" a hex? Have we only been in the trading post hex and the radish hex? Are both fully explored? Do we get credit for having explored the Sycamore hex?
The radish hex is the only hex you have fully explored, until you get Anza to map the sycamore hex its just a place of interest that you know about. The trading post hex does not need mapping as its been used a great deal.
Basicly until you spend x days exploring and mapping the hex its still unexplored.
If you want i can add an explored tag into the spoiler info.
Just a heads up so we don't bog down again, the hex directly to the west of yourselves is a heavy roleplaying encounter that does not tie you to the hex, so don't get too caught up in it and try to enjoy what happens. It will stop eventually and even if you ignore it and suffer through you will still suceed at the encounter.
I have had a message from Domitian that his workload for his course is more than he thought it would be and that he needs to bow out.
I'm also not sure if Sergei is still with us as we have not heard from him in a while, would you guys like to see a replacement character or two brought on board to replace Domitian and Alagor?
Paladin of Erastil-3/ Init:+1, Perception:-1, AC:18/11/17, CMD:19, HP:28, Fort:6 (11 vs cold), Ref:4, Will:4
Yes! Preferably people who like to RP. Thanks DM Ego!
M Gnome - Alternalte Racial Traie Pryomaniac Oracle of Fire / 3 (Per: +1 Init:+1 HP 21/21 AC: 20/12/18 F: +1 R: +1 W: +2)
Yes. Both RPing and posting frequency are of course important.

I took a little break over the weekend to spend some time with my daughter and partner, I'm going to put up a new recruitment post tonight when i get in from work. If any of you know anyone who would like to join get them to take a look and make a post.
I'm going to pop up a new gameplay post on my first break, just having a little morning typing session before i start the day.

we can continue play though so lets not bog ourselves down
Just a bit of an update guys, got some family stuff on at the moment so i haven't been posting. Not sure how long this is going to take to fix but i will let you know whats going on.
hope it can be handled smoothly

Good luck - Sounds ominous...
Just some issues with mum and baby, we'll get them sorted out but they are taking up a lot of my time at the moment. No complaints but it is preventing me from doing everything.
Best wishes for both then.

You know it might be time for a "map update" to include a photo of the young one... :)
Hmm, i'll see what i can do. She doesn't like posing...
Sorry about the delay, i could have done some posting today however my return to work was frantic. I should have things back to normal tomorrow and be able to pick up again on wednesday. Thanks for the patience.

Are we getting back to the game this week?
We'll probably be starting again on monday now, this whole thing has taken up a lot of my time but i think its nearly done. If i get some time over the weekend i'll post a little update but between work, gf and baby my plates been pretty full.
I'm gong to put another post in gameplay tomorrow, i'll also get a new recruitment thread set up to replace some of our losses after work as well. I'll let that run until saturday and hopefully we will have a full team again very soon.
M Gnome - Alternalte Racial Traie Pryomaniac Oracle of Fire / 3 (Per: +1 Init:+1 HP 21/21 AC: 20/12/18 F: +1 R: +1 W: +2)
Great. Anything we can do to pick up the pace some would make me happy. I love the setting and the DMing of things is excellent, except for the pace. Makes it hard to keep a focus if its sooo slow, at least for me.
I've put up a post for the gameplay to get us back into it, you need to decide how your going to go about handling the warning and weather you want to skirt around the area or not.
I'm going to put up a recruitment post on thursday since they don't seem to get much response in the early week but i'll be able to keep the post count up now the family issue is sorted.
