Looking at it, it kinda looks like Gunslinger was not built for team work feats. The only one out of that list that would be helpful, only by GM ruling, is the Target of Opportunity one. If there are others, I am not really seeing anything useful.

Extend the Bulwark and Outflank look great to have. Wild Flanking looks like something that would be appropriate thematically, and may cause some interesting character interactions.


Male 8th Generation Gangrel

The real problem is that most teamwork feats are built assuming that those with the teamwork feats are both engaging in the same kind of combat. Target of Opportunity is actually quite devastating in a party with two ranged combatants. In a RL game of mine we're doing Skulls and Shackles, and the Inquisitor and I are both ranged focused characters. We can pretty effectively dominate the field.

Just checking in. I am still interested in this game and would love to see it continue. So with that in mind, how is everyone else?


Male Half-Orc Brawler 1 (Steel-Breaker) / HP(15/15) / AC 14 T12 FF10 / Saves F+4 R+5 W+1

Doing well. Just got wifi up and running again (it was out for the past week) so all is well here.


Male 8th Generation Gangrel

Looking forward to (hopefully) starting up again here pretty shortly. Moving CAN be pretty time consuming, so I'm hoping it's just taking longer than the GM expected.


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle 1

Yes, same. With luck, Grey wasn't killed by the heat or the Texans or the heat. I appreciate you checking in regularly, Mary, keeping us on the same page.

Welcome back DM! Glad we get to continue the story! :)


I live!

Thank you for your patience everyone. You're a understanding group of players. I am now settled into the Dallas area, which is absurdly large, along with the rest of Texas. Seriously people, we have stone roads five layers high soaring up into the air. That's just silly. My poor GPS has a nervous breakdown everytime we come to a interchange.

I begin work officially tomorrow, which is also today, which also marks our return to regularly scheduled gameplay. I will be posting in the night/evening, and in the mornings when possible/applicable, though no promises on that one. Until the schedule really shakes down I just don't know how mornings are going to be. We'll just have to see.

As for my silence, I feel you all deserve an explanation. I was swimming and hiking and using Einstein's method of relativity traveling. That is to say I took a very a long time to reach Texas because I hit up sundry relations between here and the northwest. I also enjoyed beautiful Yosemite and various other natural features of awe-inspiring and distracting beauty.

All that is over and done with for the moment though and I am firmly rooted once more in the realm of internet. Promise.

Concerning round 5. All the goblins except for Mary's mounted one are taken care of. She is a few hundred feet away from the rest of you, so it will take a few rounds to get to her. The mounted goblin is currently in melee with Mary.


@Mary, As the rest of the group is a two rounds away from you, feel free to post the next round's actions as well. You are ~300ft away, so the fastest they could reach you is 2/3 rounds.

Also, I appreciate Mary's dilemma. Yay it worked! Oh crap.

Sure, I believe a full withdraw is in order. Or something.


Just so you know, full withdraw only moves you back 60ft. The goblin has a speed of 30ft, so it can charge-attack you if you do. Even if the rest of the party runs 4x and you withdraw 60ft. They will still be 120ft away, which is a full run, flat-footed, no attack round.

It may still be your best option, but a lot of people forget that goblins move as fast as people. Mary would know this, both from seeing the goblins and from her knowledge check, and I didn't want to trip you up by accident.

True, maybe acrobatic and then full run? maybe that might work. Or fight defensively.

Did the Fight Defensively, AC is now 18, and it cant charge, but it gets to still attack me.


Hmm, hadn't thought about that one. If you can avoid the AoO, then a full-run would get you to safety.

Hope it doesn't seem like I'm trying to dictate your actions for you. That really isn't my intent.

*Edit. Ah, alrighty then. Let's see who Desna favors.

And on that note, I am going to go to sleep. See you all later.


Seems you won't have to choose. Critical fumble = backswing = attack hits self instead of target.

It power-attacked itself with a pole-arm. How, I have no idea.

Everyone, combat is now over! Well-done!

Maybe Desna was on her side, or maybe Cayden was. Or maybe both! With that, Mary is slightly stunned at that event either way.

And with that, bedtime for sure.


Male Half-Orc Brawler 1 (Steel-Breaker) / HP(15/15) / AC 14 T12 FF10 / Saves F+4 R+5 W+1

Glad to see you're back! I don't blame you for enjoying your trip, i'm sure you passed through some beautiful parts of the country.

Also, very nice resolution to combat.


Thanks Tsakua.

The trip was pretty spectacular.


Male 8th Generation Gangrel

Good to see that you're back! I didn't exactly doubt your return, but another game of mine has been having a lot of trouble with GMs; it seems our WotW game has now lost its second GM, before we even leave our prison chambers.

I'm glad you enjoyed your trip, and that you're settled in Dallas. My brother lived there for a few months, it's not a bad city.


Male 8th Generation Gangrel

Hey GM, you disappear again? Or are you just waiting for us to decide what we're doing/where we're going?

Looks like we're all mostly together. I think Torvald is going around, healing people. And we are all together in the town square. So we should all be able to interact with each other.


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle 1

Sorry for the silence from my side, all. I waited a couple of days for Grey to post and then I was on a little road trip. But now I'm back, so I'll post in the morning.

Welcome back Torvald.


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle 1

Thanks.

I suppose it helps if I actually submit my posts.

As far as Grey, I'm hoping he's just settling in or something and not so busy he has to abandon this. Even if he does, though, I think it'd be nice to keep the group together. Maybe we can find a DM to pick up the thread if that turns out to be the case.

Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle 1

I haven't either, but I'll send him one on Monday if we don't hear from him sooner.

You know that the occult book came out recently, what do you guys think of it? Quite some weird stuff in it, but the classes in it seem fun.


Male 8th Generation Gangrel

So uh, guessing nobody's heard from Grey?

Torvald said he would send him a message. Maybe it might be a good idea for each of us to send one?


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle 1

I sent him a message this morning, so we'll see what's going on, I hope. I don't know if all of us sending him one would be useful, since he'll get four nearly identical messages, but if you want to, don't let me stop you.

Is there people still around? I am still interested and I got the feeling enough time has passed to see about maybe looking into getting a new GM if our DM Grey does not return. What do you guys think?


Male Half-Orc Brawler 1 (Steel-Breaker) / HP(15/15) / AC 14 T12 FF10 / Saves F+4 R+5 W+1

This is really my first PbP experience, so i'm not sure on how long we should wait, but i'm still checking in regularly. i would like to get things going again. Kent? Torvald? Thoughts?


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle 1

I really enjoy Grey's style, so I've been reluctant to suggest moving on. There isn't really any set amount of time that one should wait, but we're coming up on three weeks so at this point it's probably worth looking at a new GM.

Provided Kent is still on board with playing, my suggestion is that we give Grey until Monday. This gives him a week since my PM and three weeks since we'd last heard from him (August 10, by my count). If we don't hear from him by then, or if he says he's not able to continue, I'll make a post that day seeking at least a temporary replacement GM.

In the worst case, I do own this campaign (though I've never read or played it) and I have a lot of experience with PbP, so I could probably run it.

Of course, I'm open to other ideas or plans if you guys have them, but this seems like a good middle of the road approach in my opinion.

It sounds like you are the veteran Pbper here Torvald. I will refer to your expertise. I just want to see how this story plans out.


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle 1

Kent's mentioned running other campaigns, so it's possible he's even more experienced than I am.


Male Half-Orc Brawler 1 (Steel-Breaker) / HP(15/15) / AC 14 T12 FF10 / Saves F+4 R+5 W+1

Your idea sounds good, Torvald. It gives Grey a chance to come back just in case he has has something keeping him away, but hopefully it will let the story continue. We'll see come Monday.


Male 8th Generation Gangrel

I don't know that I'd call myself "experienced", per say. I'm relatively new to the boards myself, I've only been here a few months so far. That said, I'm actively GMing three games right now, and I also do not own RotRL, so I wouldn't really be able to run the game myself.

From what I can tell, though, we've waited long enough since our last contact with him to go looking for another GM, unfortunately. I've had to do the same for a WotW game I'm playing in, so I'm willing to do that.

Well, I agree with Kent. And I think we should look for a GM before looking towards one of us to GM. I mean we all did sign up to play after all. :)


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle 1

Having heard nothing from Grey, I went ahead and made a thread seeking a replacement DM. It'd be wonderful if Grey suddenly showed up and everything went back to being normal, but that's looking unlikely at this point. I hope we'll see a good response to the post.

Cool. Thank you Torvald. Hm, I was wondering, if we could see about also recruiting a new player as well? I felt we were short there, since I know later levels really need a couple casters about there. What do you guys think?


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle 1

That could be worthwhile, but I think we should see if we can round up a new DM first. Then he or she can decide whether we should go after another player.


Male Half-Orc Brawler 1 (Steel-Breaker) / HP(15/15) / AC 14 T12 FF10 / Saves F+4 R+5 W+1

Sounds good. I'd like to see what problem solving methods (light it on fire?) we'd come up with in the group we have already

Shadow Lodge

Potential GM here. See your recruitment post :)


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle 1

Based on the post there, it sounds like we should all head over and make a little post of some sort about your character or your take on the story.

Dotting so it shows up in games.
