Mangroves of the Desert (Inactive)

Game Master Herkymr the Silly

The lands are barren of their once luscious greenery and varied other ecosystems. The culprits are chaos storms--large random magic surges ravaging the lands like tornadoes. The deserts have spread as the storms continue to force the land to change. Purveyors of the magic arts have drawn together in hopes of discovering the cause of the storms.

Civilization has shrunk to the edges of the desert for the most part. Mangrove trees have been cultivated to stop the advent of the desert into the remaining waters. Druidic magic strengthens the trees and purifies the water so that life can be maintained. They also provide refuge for many of the creatures that have survived the changes.

The dragons have all but disappeared and the giants are ranging out once more leaving destruction and terror in their wake. Rumors of a cabal of wizards controlling the ravaging bands have begun to circulate among the rabble in the cities.

Sages and others of ancient lore whisper of a group tasked with keeping the ancients in line with nature and magic. Absence of these guardians could correspond with the giants raiding and the notable absence of the dragons.

Not sure if I was in the correct frame of mind while writing that last post but it kinda felt good to have the character come off the rails a little bit. Herk I am hoping to capture a little bit of the telephone game here with this response. If I made correct assumptions then great, but if I did not then great to since it brings more life to the story.

BTW thanks for the break last week everyone. I was able to complete a week long training and pass four certification tests for one of the products I work on at work.


sweet... as soon as I read the response I will say something if it is off the rails to much. It should be fine based on knowing you and knowing my skills as well as a dm.

BTW no baby yet tomorrow is supposed due date.


It looks like it pls well shadara. Quinten played right into it to {and while i was reading it no less :) )

I will answer tomorrow when I have a bit more time and if my kiddo doesnt come b then.

Thanks all for hangng in.
Still hoping to hear from mang and Richard soon. Some of this next stuff will be easier on t he group if you al can be interacting some what simultaneously in post wise.


crazy day. still no kid and the due date has now passed. I will try again to get something up tomorrow to tired to night

welcome back to the world of imagination MANG


Damphir cleric

So I have included a wall upon another wall of text. PLEASE make sure it is read and if questions arise ask.
I deem alot of the information given as important for establishing some background of the setting.


looks like its time to grab a cup of tea and enjoy myself a little bit of reading time.

Take your time. Kids are important.

Quinten comes off as more abrupt and direct than I intended in my last post. Perhaps the day is getting to him. In any case, I tried to give each of you something to jump off of if you don't have any questions for Marry.

It will take a little time to digest that information before responding.


Damphir cleric

Same here, a ton has happened in a very short time frame


no worries. I just had a new one monday so I will be needing a bit to readjust


Haye all. Busy but good week. Rebecca Lyn was born monday and came home wed. Adjusting to her and the new schedule for work has been fun. All my kids arent sure about having papa gone during day and momma home now. Big adjustment.

Anywhos I will try to get something up shortly probably monday afternoon. Typically I am scheduled to be off on Thur so look fr a bit more in depth post then.
Thanks for hanging n while we are all making adjustments to life.

One more thing to remember:
Dont break someone's heart they only have one....start with the bones there are 206.


Sorry bout less posting. Adjustments have been happening just taking a bit.
I also am not wanting to just "bowout" a bunch of text all at once right now.

Quinten and Mang: thanks for adding in in the method you did. It has really helped me to sort and process what is being told and where

sorry for not getting this posted sooner. Crazy weekend and then work blew up today. Thanks for all that you do.


No worries shadara. Things are keeping us all pushed a bit right now. Work kids life anything goes.

Game is always fun BUT Real life has to be first.


Damphir cleric

Richard?


Male Human? Psychic(amnesiac)/6 Expert/1 HP: 32/47

I'm still around just got really busy with things lately will try to post something soon.


Male Human? Psychic(amnesiac)/6 Expert/1 HP: 32/47

So I need a little clarification. Is she saying one of the others is her grandson or that Richard is?


one of the ones whom betrayed.not richard


works still busy so my time with all has been limited. I am still working on getting more things together to do more posting when my day off occurs


sorry it took me a bit to respond. I think I have it figured out now as to balancing work kid and life with storytelling as well.

I dont think there iwll be any more "WALLS" of text for a long while. I felt these were necessary to get things et up a bit more. I have been trying to see how cohesive the group is and get the core established before branching the story out. That way we dont always have to retell it to fit new peoples in.

ON another note,

LEVEL

then send me an updated toon sheet.

not sure what the dc roll is for without looking so I am guessing it is just a d20 with no modifier

dc check: 1d20 ⇒ 17

I have leveled character and will upload. Also responding. Went from being in training to taking care of three people with flu.

The claws are from a feat if anyone is wondering.

I will actually be quieter from now thru the 15th of July. First is the trip Herk Mentioned, then the day after I get back I go on a week long business trip. I will do what I can to try not to hold the game up.

I apologize for not adding much over the last week. I am also studying for an industry certification test that I will be taking during the business trip. My brain does not want to accept the knowledge I am giving it.

Shadara, good luck.

Herkymr, let me know if Quinten makes it home safely. If so, I'll write a post on his return home and his morning preparations in the next few days.

Hey Herkymr. I figured I'd get this stuff done and ready. I'm all leveled up, and done there. I'll write up the stuff for what happened while Jerram was gone soon. With it all though, I need some new rolls as some of my stuff will have changed.

Initiative Rolls:
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

  • Jerram darts forward, his feet barely making a noise as he moves across the ground. He passes one enemy after another, his defenses dropping for a moment, he draws an attack from his opponent and strikes out in retaliation.

Lightly Wounded:
Jump straight into the middle of the fray. Fight a bit wildly, but try to use non-lethal damage when I feel the person is not evil, just dangerous. Also, maybe do some disarming or grappling. Draw attacks of opportunity while moving to allow me to use panther style attacks.

Moderately Wounded:
Fight a bit more wildly, trying to end the fight quickly. Use acrobatics to move past enemies (avoid the attacks of opportunity) and flank with allies. Use flurry to hit more people, spend ki points for extra attacks. Use stunning fist on the most dangerous enemies.

Severely Wounded:
Fight defensively, using the Sansetsukon for extra AC. Try to withdraw or use High Jump to get out of reach and use either double-chained kama for reach or rope dart for distance. Preferably the rope dart. Continue to spend ki points for extra attacks.

Unarmed Attacks:
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
