Order of the Gate (Inactive)

Game Master SOLDIER-1st

Do you need me to progress? Anything else you guys want to say/ask?

You can assume that you all return to the manor safely, and that you finish out the night with no further incident. It is now the next morning.

I'm ready to go

Okay, group, before I answer this in-character - Sellen Hills and proximity to Vespartius's location, or the Plain of Ten Thousand Swords, and the possibility of aid from the Blades of Aaramor?

I’m unknowing of the depth of Kallant’s relationship, but i am uncertain if the blades would be willing to help.

Same for a 3rd option of trying to reach Lady Nought and gaining her aid. She seemed to politely offer aid without really offering it. That said, she or her allies would likely be more helpful than the blades.

I think that straight here is option 1, Lady Noughts location is option 2, and the blades is option 3.

Likewise. I think arriving close to Vespartius and avoiding a trek across half of Numeria is more important than the possibility of assistance, particularly given that we don't want to spread the information that a Hellknight was captured.

There's nothing wrong with having this discussion IC rather than OOC. Just because you're Hellknights doesn't mean you can't have debate and discussion.

True. My group and I just usually decide this sort of thing OOC in home games, so that's my default response.

You might discover something about Kallant

question; did anyone add the Shocking Swords & wand to their inventory?

Seeing all this dialog is making me cry tears of gm pride. Loving it. Hope to see lots more of it.

That being said, you all ready to roll?

Ready

Ready.

Alrighty guys. Kallant will be able to tell you that you're about 50 to 70 miles from Aaramor. We will begin using the overland movement rules, so the first thing I will need to know is whether you're walking, hustling, or doing a forced march.

Also, you received a number of supplies from Lord Vezivo in addition to the shocking swords and wand of lightning bolt. This weighs 80 pounds total, which can be split up between you all. The supplies include food and water enough for five people for a week, fire starting equipment and basic tools, bedrolls, a large tent, severe weather gear enough for 5 people, and a map/guide that provides a +2 on Survival checks while in Numeria only. Please keep track of this (I don't mind if you use the discussion thread for this purpose).

I’ll hold the wand of lightning bolt and i don’t have need of a sword. The supplies can just be split evenly.

I'll probably use sacred weapon to add shocking to my mace, but that's a limited resource. I'll take one of the socking swords.

Everyone should carry their own food and water and severe weather gear. Since we're having Kallant take point, he should have the map.

I think I can handle the tent. Someone want to take the fire starting equipment?

I have fire starting equipment and spells already. I think i can get the tools, I’ll have to check my hero lab sheet though since it doesn’t print total weight.

I mean, I have flint and steel, too, but I didn't know if fire starting equipment was a separate thing.

It includes kindling and firewood.

In that case I'll let Kallant take the gear.

Can we get Shocking on one of my Greatswords? The Cold Iron one?

Kizziar can carry something if it's necessary, but he has no use for any of the equipment.

Can we get Shocking on one of my Greatswords? The Cold Iron one?

Getting your sword enchanted would have taken the entire time you were there (3 days of work), and I don't recall you asking Lord Vezivo to enchant it for you, so that's going to be a no. If I'm just somehow overlooking where you asked him let me know.

I certainly did not ask. And frankly missed the offer as a player.

No worries

I will be on vacation from tomorrow until Monday, April 16th. I will try to post when I can, but updates will be sporadic until I return. GM, please bot me if necessary.

Will do. Have fun!

Going to be out in the shop instead of the office today and probably tomorrow. Will update when I can.

GM, are we aware that we are suffering from a disease? If so, Melii would likely have tried to channel the heirophant during the travel to cast remove disease.

You haven't made any checks or anything to notice it. You're aware that you're feeling less motivated/emotive, but until you make some sort of check, that's the extent of your knowledge.

Melii, on your character sheet, you have Hallit as a language known. Is that not correct?

Ack, so I do! My mistake. I will post soon.

Sorry for the delay, got sidetracked with work today.

It's Kizziar's turn.

Oh, I was waiting for Melii. I’ll post shortly. Sorry about that.

No worries.

I rolled my actions out of order, so we are using those previous ones this round.

Work is blowing me away and I no longer have a phone, so I'm going to be slow for a bit. My apologies.

If any of you have ever read the Mistborn series by Sanderson, I'm playing in a game that's currently down a player. If you like the series and want to play, let me know!

I’m playing in it as well. The mistborn system mechanics support extensive RP opportunities, and the setting is built for that too. It’s more of a political/undercover espaionage style than a beat eveeyinebup style.

To save others the trouble i found the section Vespartius got taken. IC we don’t Real your know anything.

Vespartius is captured

I'm starting a week long business trip today returning Saturday. My posting will be irregular and opportunistic. Please bot me as necessary.

thanks

Thanks for the heads up!

Work is going crazy today, I had to hide in an abandoned storage room just to type this. Don't expect anything from me for a bit. Apologies.

My wife and I are expecting the birth of our second daughter any time between now and her due date of July 13th. When that occurs, I will likely be incommunicado for a few days. I will also be taking a month off from work, and since I usually do most of my posting from there, my posts will be sporadic and infrequent during that time. Things should get back to normal when I return to work though.

GM, please feel free to bot me during this time if necessary.

Congratulations!!! No problem at all. I actually want to apologize for being so slow lately. Work is just grinding me down. To put it in perspective, we did more business in the first quarter this year than in the entirety of last year (which was a decent year), and are so far on track to continue that until halfway through next year with just the orders we already have. So don’t worry at all about being busy or distracted, because I fully understand. I appreciate you all sticking with this game.

I'm also going to be somewhat spotty in the near future, because from June 26 (this Tuesday) until July 24th I will be on a trip with limited time and intermittent internet access. I'll be able to post sometimes, but feel free to bot me quickly if I'm slowing things down.

In regards to Kallant's question, I have been swearing up and down that I read a FAQ or errata or something that gave some more detail on the limitations of teleportation, one of which was you couldn't teleport onto a surface that couldn't support you, but for the life of me I cannot find it. I'm going to look a little bit more to see if I can find those additional rules, but then I'll update. Sorry for the delay.

Everything alright? Anything I can do to help progress?

Don’t know what to do. With my one trick splattered. I don’t think it’s obvious what to do.

Perhaps we should confer with the shoki? GM, where are they located relative to those of us on the ground?
