I know I'm supposed to be sleeping, but it's been a really stressful day and I have to be up this morning to make sure that little girl gets to her Dr. Appt......there's just, it's really complicated and now I just want to scream and choke Cindy out. I feel like all she's done this whole time is try to manipulate me and the entire situation to her benifit.

been reading through stuff..
If you all prefer I'll just back off so we can get back to just killing "bad guys" I can just stand around and heal when needed.
but to be fair... the only evidence I have that these people are bad guys is your word. I have not been given any evidence to say these "bandits" are in fact "bad"
maybe a little time to get Abigail up to speed on stuff would be good. like why do you believe these "bandits" are in fact bad.
so far (from Abigail's perspective, we simply barged on in and started taking out "squatters"
But since I am new to the group, I can simply back off, and let you guys handle things the way you have been...
Orym |
Yeah, it's kind of the "they tried to murder us in cold blood for no reason" that generally leads us to believe they're bad, and considering that's the exact same thing they did when they saw us with you, I'm not sure why your character would think differently.
Orym is very much against this whole endeavor, but it's in his best interests to not get ganged up on and disemboweled while we're in the the bandits' midst.
Vishanti |
You're playing the character the way you see her which is fine, but we've developed some history with them. Doesn't mean it wouldn't play out the way it needs to. You may befriend them only to get stabbed in the back and see we were right. They may not be all bad. Derika just realized the leader of the bandits has something in common with her and Jerrica and finds that unsettling.
Things aren't always totally black and white which is a good thing in my opinion. Takes a party a while until their motives mesh and when it happens organically it's great, just takes a while and a few missteps on everyone's part.
Right now we're still in the "rag tag band of misfits" stage learning to become a team. It takes a while. At some point Vishanti will talk about her own motives, she just doesn't really know Abigail yet other tha she can heal with magic and seems to always seek a peaceful solution. As a Shamaness she's a little more of the pragmatic, nature is life and death, cut off the hand to save the arm type.
Abigail Merosa |
I did look back and Orym is right that they did attack us... but not really 100% sure it may have not been provoked by something else.
Thanks Vishanti, I do want to work as part of your team... and I am sure we will figure things out.
Abigail did say she would like to work with whoever turns out to be the owner of the keep. she didn't outright claim it (at least not this time)
I just started to feel that many were not to happy with Abigail looking to find a peaceful solution here.

Ahhh....*total sigh of relief* Great report from the dr. Her heart looks and sounds great. The Dr saw no immediate problems that require attention. He said she requires no physical restrictions and no need for a follow up. Now I can relax and enjoy my last five days with the kids. Ms. Trude has my phone number and I have hers so we can stay in touch about the kids since the oldest boy is having surgery in February, but Grandma Trudy has custody of him so I don't even have to deal with that manipulating little skank.

Sorry....the closer I get to leaving the more hectic things get. I had to go to the Dr at Cindy's mom's work, had to take her friend Kate to the Emergency Room in Carthage and wait there with her for a while, go to walmart to pick up my medicine and stuff, get girls off of bus, deal with my s$$$, dinner, then all this other stuff. Stupid hair and nails, I hate doing girly s!!+.

will catch up tomorrow, had a very long day and the car broke down and to top it off I was stuck walking in the ice and snow.
all better now, made it home and car is running for now. need to get it to the shop in the morning.
Abigail Merosa |
quick question all.
do you mind we have a little conversion back at dinner?
like Abigail has no idea what you encountered before nor what you explored before..
so maybe we spend a post or two pretending we didn't go yet so Abigail get get briefed?
at least this way she will have an idea what to expect?
or at least post here so I can at least know what you fought what you found, where you have been already?
Abigail Merosa |
yeah just a little brief as to what you explored already, what you found out so far, what you know so far of the goblins or whatever is in there.
Also looking at the map of the first floor, where are the spider bodies and the stairs we took to go up and where are the stairs that go down.
did you guys completely explore the first floor?
Abigail Merosa |
ok cool, Abigail was going to try and question the bandits if they had any information considering they wanted us to help them deal with the situation.
but I think we are a little to late for that though.
but just in case I can roll a random diplomacy check to see if she could coax any info out of them.
Derika |
Okay.....I have to get my stuff ready to leave tomorrow. I also have no idea what Cindy has planned so I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I may not be able to be on very much today.

Well......I need to charge my phone and I'm at her parents right now. Her sister is in the hospital and might have to have emergency gall bladder surgery. I talked to her mom and she said not to worry, that they'll figure out a way to get me there. *Crosses fingers* I really hope so.

Just to let everyone know....there's lots of life stuff going on with us right now that we're trying to deal with, so posting may be a little erratic for the next few days or so. I'm trying to get things like insurance, school, bills, finding jobs agian, ect...things like that right now...so we may be doing some running here and there. I gotta contact my old school to get some information for the new one I'm trying to go to and such. Things are just sort of in a state of upheaval with us right now....but, we're working on it.
We really appreciate all the patience with the odd hours of posting and etc as I was travelling through distant lands over the past couple of weeks. I'm hoping things will get back to some kind of normal rhythm soon.

I have to make a will save dc 20 to resist my own urges so I can get stuff done today without him.....distracting me. Since I'm so naive and trusting I don't have a really high wisdom so I'm gonna say I have a +2 modifer to my wisdom. Let's see....do I get stuff done, or give in and become......distracted?
Will Save vs Hubby: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

My mom is in the hospital out by where they live. Waiting on test results and see what the Dr says tomorrow, before deciding on if we need to go out there or not. Mom says she's okay.....but she always says that. She said that when her back was fractured....so, I don't really trust her version of "okay".

After everything I've dealt with today I think I'm pretty stinkin' worn out. I think I deserve a warm snack of some sort involving cheese, and my nice warm bed. Having trouble relaxing today.
