Shadow of Ascanor (B)

Game Master Mar Nakrum

Within you runs the blood, and curse, of nobility. Why being the scion of some distant and ambitious ancestor grants you the right to rule is not for us to judge, but to act upon. Last year, you received correspondence from the elderly Beauturne, inviting you to attain the prestige and honor owed to your lineage. You have met with the man in person, a grotesque looking and hardened creature, yet his genuine desire to strike against the Palatinate Council of Lozeri inspired. You have joined to his venture, and soon you will meet with your new comrades in secret, in a small tavern in the vacant old capitol of Ardis.

It was just a joke because we always seemed to find our selves in these situations were 1 or 2 of us would break away from the group to do something, and someone would get killed or mangled.

Oh!
Yeah. We have "the Medic always dies first". Inevitably we'd all be horribly injured, standing around the body of the recently-dead medic. One game we decided everyone had to play clerics. TPK.

So did the DM go to get Mountain Dew and Cheetos?!


Orange juice and pumpkin bagels more like.


Sooooooooooo?


Sorry about the wait, I've been violently sick recently.

Sorry to hear this - I hope you are feeling better!

Just to double-check - the Doc's knowledge rolls turned up no information?

My mistake, the thread has been updated with the pertinent information. The guards will be answering your questions soon.

Ha!


In the process of moving to new digs, update will happen Wednesday evening.


Good luck with the move!

We really did need that good luck. Finally have internet access on my computer again. Let the terror commence.

Great! Thank you for letting us know you were moving, I was wondering why you had gone quiet. What a big undertaking, man I hate moving, but it is a good chance to de-clutter sometimes.


And yesterday, I got married. So, yeah, super busy. Things have quieted down for now though.

I am going to have to withdraw from this game. Sorry. Life.

I am sorry to hear that Amos, I liked seeing the dynamic tension play out, but thank you for not just disappearing on us.


Best of luck to you, Amos - I'm sorry you're leaving us.

Life comes first. Fare well.


It was fun having you while it lasted Amos, I'll make sure to give your character a chilling send off.


I'll update you side adventure Ky once we get a tad deeper into the "dungeon crawl".

I hope we can get our momentum back. How is your schedule going Bel-Sullulim?


I'm traveling at the moment but will post tonight.

acid does very little damage to objects - halve the damage then subtract DR. I'm hoping rope is pretty fragile though.

I'd say it's settling in, but my wife and I are in a bit of a limbo state while we're waiting for our friends to finish their basement. For the forseeable future though, I should be able to make it on regularly.

Sorry my post is short - casting is a 1 round action and nothing really happens until just before his next action.

I think Ed has to make a concentration roll if he takes damage. Hopefully mage armour helps enough...


Dear Ivan, please post soon. To post, is to live.

@Bēl-Ṣullulim: I'm a bit worried that we're not going to be able to fight this ghost - that was the knowledge:religion roll made earlier.
I'd like Ed to start talking about how to fight ghosts and haunts. Is that okay?


My fault, I'll post the knowledge check result right now.

I'm afraid I'm going away in 20 hours, and will be away for three days. Please bot me if needed as I do not think I will have internet.

Work changed my schedule last week, so I was horribly distracted. This week will be much better, and I'll be posting more now that things have settled again. My continuing apologies for the erratic game pacing.

Um, Edward told Amos that he'd get him a good funeral. This doesn't really sound like it.
I recognise that OOC the player left, and that IC we have a mission, but looted and tossed overboard seems pretty... harsh. Especially given that Mr Stockl has shown us the dead can return about an hour ago.
Any chance Ed can get his body sent to Ravensholm, at least?
At a minimum he'd keep enough of a material component to use in a Reincarnate spell.


The Doctor is a practical man, who sees no need to uphold words to the dead. But, if Edward is the honorable, sentimental type, Doc will help with the expenses of getting the body sent somewhere.


LN Varisian | Ranger 2/ Rogue 1 | HP: 28 | AC: 19 (12 Tch, 17 Fl) | CMD: 17 | F: +5 R: +7 W: +1 | Init: +2 | Perc: +7 SM: +6 | Active conditions: +2 to rolls vs. Favored Enemy (Humans)|

The Droht doesn't want a trail to lead back to the party's He knows Amos has at least one powerful ally and he doesn't trust devil worshippers. In truth, when he prepares the body to give to the deep he is going to take steps to make sure Amos doesn't rise from the dead. Water burial is a real burial. When Ustalv was under the fist of the undead the people had to console themselves that their bodies would be corrupted and taken, but that the Lady would care for their souls.

Ivan thinks that hiring a coach means more wasted time and greater threat to the doctor, but he will ultimately honor the Doctors wishes.

Ed's a summoner. Word is bond, man. Plus, he has every reason to believe he'll be dealing with Hell some time in the future, so no point in making enemies.
Is he honorable? Yes.
Sentimental... well, he'd like people to think he was.

Honestly, I'm thinking maybe just send M to escort the body. The refund from having two people not on the boat should probably cover the trip.

Otherwise the sale of some of Amos' stuff should definitely cover it.

For the record, Ed will be making it clear to everyone when we have our big talk that he does have a will.

Alright, I didn't want to kill the game. I'll withdraw my objection.


You didn't stop the game, I received an inner ear injury at work, and then to my boss gave me a demotion and cut my hours. The good news is I got a second job as an Editor for an independent publishing company, so that's where I've been the last seven days. Additionally, I'll be moving again this week. Life just doesn't let up sometimes.

I'll see if I can keep up the pace from previous weeks, I've enjoyed both games very much and would like to reward you with more material to play with.

On one hand I'm glad it wasn't my doing. On the other hand, damn that seems like bad luck - and a crappy job. This was the new job you were so hopeful for?


Sorry to hear of your travails, Bēl-Ṣullulim. Hopefully, things will look up this week. Good luck with the move and the new job!


Yes, that was the new job I was so hopeful about. Aside from no getting paid until the work is published, this editor gig is damn fine, I finally feel like I found my career path.
