Phantom Limbs: Adrift on the Orphan Sea

Game Master TheLogicOfCrocodiles

After a trip through the guts of a bizarre pocket reality and a jaunt down into the realm of Old Arms, the famed arcane smith of the night market, the party find themselves facing down the angered cityfolk in a gathering at the local docks, the entire scene lit by the cold blue light of the ever-expanding gateway through which they entered this world.

actually, being paranoid usually does mean that there's not anyone out to get you. It's an overactive danger response in action.

"Not every one", sooo that means there is someone, and knowing just who that is can be hard soooo

Mistrust everyone just be on the safe side it the only way.

Still no action. This is worse than a serial show when you have to wait a week for the next episode.


Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry! I've been swamped with classwork and I haven't been able to post. It's getting to the crunch part of the semester. I'll get one up here in a little bit. You guys have done so much! XD

It's funny Rick is a bard, yet he's not sung a song or plaid any thing, Sallrana is talking him under the table. And he's used silent image, humm

i think he my be a halfling mime artist.

Go one do glass wall at them,
Hehe

Sorry but it's true.


Nah, tricks are for kids!

But I would have certainly fascinated them so you could escape or prepare an ambush.... that of course, if I had not payed them to kill you to begin with...


Sorry guys, a saturday lunch turned into a weekend with my partner. Real life strikes again!

But now you know I'm around, how long will it be until that all-important post...?

we can wait real life comes 1st GM


sorry miria, but Roger isn't quite the most.....diplomatic of souls.


It's fine. I was waiting for someone to bring it up. ^^


Okay guys, full disclosure time.
My recent posting has been erratic, at best, and I’m just writing this quick post to let you know why. It’s not that I’m dissatisfied with the games – they’re great, and I enjoy GMing for you. It’s just that my working life has become… a lot less fun than it was. One single co-worker is doing her best to make my life hell, including making accusations to my boss over my work ethic – completely unfounded, before anybody makes any snarky comments. ;)
She is just a terrible, terrible person – I’m not the only person in the area to have problems with her, just the latest in a long line, and it means that I’m heading out and drinking a lot more as well as trying to stay out of the office at work to avoid confrontations. Because of this, I’m simply spending less time at the computer – I’m sure as soon as things improve I’ll be back to regular updates, but I’m afraid I might be sketchy for a bit – at least until this either clears up or I just get used to having a hostile idiot trying to check me at every turn.
So there – full, unpleasant disclosure. Sorry guys – I hope it gets better.


Hey, good luck man!

As someone who has been through this sort of garbage, here is some advise.
First never lose your cool. This is hard, but getting angry over this never helps.
Second keep a diary and record every day. include notes on the weather and personal events, but also every encounter with this person. This will allow you verifiable evidence you are been harassed. This can be important if it ever goes to a incompetence or harassment hearing, or even court.
Three don't let it get to you. People like this thrive on getting a rise.
Four complain to your boss. use your judgement on this, as it depends how well you get on with your boss. But you have a right to a happy, safe work environment.

Hope that helps.


You can get a nice USB pen with a video cam in it, about $40 takes micro SD cards, you would be amazed what you can record with that sucker.

Bullying in the work place is not cool and it's damming as hell on screen.


I'm so sorry that you're having to deal with this! And it's completely understandable, sometimes real life just seems to take much more time than you'd like.


I'd actually ask HR or your boss for mediation. When you get to the scheduled mediation session, use I statements and explain how you feel. Don't mention anyone else's experience with this person, unless you were there. Make sure to cite specific instances that can be corroborated by others, and make sure you let it be known that you don't appreciate such behavior, using the politest terms possible. If the co-worker brings up your performance during the mediation, I would (again politely) thank her for her suggestions, but point out that regulating other people's behavior is not her job (as I'm assuming by the fact you called her a co-worker, not a supervisor that she's on the same level, as you are).

Be exceedingly polite, but let her know in no uncertain terms that you don't appreciate her bullying.

Soon as I get back Ill post again, but for now say she tags along or is investigating HawCroft

GM shes all yours

Ugh... sorry for another big gap - but things are actually beginning to look up, and I've spent some time ensuring that I'll have free time over the next few weeks to relax - PBP. Expect a semi-regular update schedule again, just like the old days!

Barring a meteor strike, or something of that nature.

You know, I have always thought you should have to pass a test to be a parent. Apart from the physical requirements. I have met too many bad parents. I mean you have too to be a teacher (lots of tests and assignments and people standing judgment over you).

Wow I just read this post, and it's happened. I have become my father. More tech savey but still.

Thought I would share some news. I have just been awarded my masters degree in writing. Really pleased about it. My doctorate awaits.


Congrats!

And what are we thinking for how to handle this situation? Miria is apparently a ninja, and John just called all of the attention to him. And we gotta save those guys from Hawcroft and the Orcs.

Hmmm.
myself, jack and roger draw attention, and we see what happens. Defensive casting advised, this could go pear shaped really fast. But I'm hoping to roleplay a solution. If you have any party buffs, nows the time to use it.


Mmm, I don't think Miria has any party buffs. It doesn't really come with her territory, unfortunately. I'll just have her hang back for now and if things get hairy, she'll jump into action.


Well, I think the new guy has messed up your plans ^_^

I miss having Charm Person already...

Gatsby; Just wanted to say, love your work. This bozo as just a representation of smug corporate greed to me, and he just became a 3D person who I can see Jack might actually - and against his will - start to admire.
Beautiful Scene.

narr he's playing devils abdicate for the city, acting as the voice of the mob, in that way he's keeping to sway them.


If it works... There may be more than just the executioner here... In any case the real ones won't want to take on the subject on their hands with a hand pointed to them. That's my advantage...

Hey, I just went for a long walk.

To hospital.

Yeah...

I love the game, but sadly health had to take a priority this week. I'd love to say I've been doing other fun things, but for the majority of the last week I've been doing nothing but shivering and hallucinating.

I am not, however, dead. Yet.

I am unable to make a proper party until I get back to my notes, asd updating without my notes, from my phone, is damn hard. I estimate another day or two of inactivity on my end, at the least. But the lights are still on.

Ben
