No problem, I hope the holidays go well at least and ye can enjoy yourselves.
Tindertwig and Dirtbag belched jingle bells...
Picking things back up on the 2nd - Happy New year everyone
Happy New Year!
Yes, happy new year to you all.
I am one of the lucky few who gets to work this evening.
IM going to start this off with saying I am terrible sorry, ive been gone for over a week with nary a peep. As some of you know, or I believe all of you know, my long time girlfriend is in a serious bout with cancer. Things were getting better, things were going good last friday however Her kidneys shut down due to a mixture of the pain meds and the chemo drugs she was on. It was unexpected to say the least.
She is no longer in critical condition in the hospital and her kidneys seem to be doing fine, but certainly the drugs she was on which were working have to be changed now. Thats neither here nor there.
To the point, I am going to step aside from the games I am running. I cant keep up. There are a few games Im a player in I will stepping out on as well. I hate having to to do this, because gaming, even on line has certainly helped keep my mind off our troubles, but I've been such a mess this last week I cant possible begin to focus on running anything.
That being said this isnt a dead idea, and when things to get to a stable emotional place where i can begin any sorts of concentration you all will be the first to know.
Again I am so terribly sorry.
No worries. I hope everything works out for you and your girl friend.
Take care!
There is no reason for your to be sorry. Please, take the time with your girlfriend and do what you need to do to keep sane. My thoughts and prayers will be with you guys.
No problem, you're dealing with far more important things. Focus on what's important and support your lady.
We wish you well.
Rippit!
Who is still about and interested?
Present
Fart. Belch. Hiccup.
Wees be 'ere!
Rippit!
I'm still around but I'm using Grimlak's alias for another game.
Hmm, no worries about that Chobo, if the others dont mind and you want to roll up another charector we can insert them. Long story short, life has stabalized and instead of starting something brand new thought if i could breath this back into life. All of group Grey was ready and in, they are already started. I have so far one person responding in group black. If one more shows up I have a way to get this back on the road so to speak.
I might have a ringer to pull in if you need to shore up numbers.
ill send another message and see if anyone else pops up, ..actually you know what if you have someone interested send them to recruiting link and have them start something up and go ahead and post it to this thread's recruiting.
Well hello there folks. I didn't notice the posts until today. Reynalt is till hanging around trying to keep active.
Okay, if everyone is okay with it I'm going to roll up another PC. I'm thinking an investigator. I think the versatility of the class will be helpful.
Array 1
re-roll, Array 2
Looks like array 2.
All, I am going on a quick camping trip with the family and will be back Sunday evening.
So we have 2 from the group Black that will be rolled in to here, Inil the Ifrit Summoner, and Kelisa the Drow hunter.
We have Dirtbag and Tindertwig, Zardu and Ryenalt, Chobos new roll and
Decimus Observet's viking warrior (tentative)
Will get things restarted up probably sometime sunday or monday to give everyone a chance to finalize things. :)
And dont stress the camping trip Chobo, if need be i can slide you in on monday
Decimus Observet here with Gudleifr Hervardr. With spear, sword, shield, and bow, he can and will fight! And he's oddly effective against incorporeal undead...
The lityle green goblin stomps his feet.
Mees Tindertwig! His bees Dirtbag!
Rippit!, agrees the toad.
You find the Silver shields compound in hectic disaray this day Gudleifr. The little halfling fellow mentioned things would be hectic, but you hadnt imagined this. The first person you met inside the walled and gated compound was a stout looking older dwarven fellow, loading casks onto the back of a waiting wagon. Upon hearing you had spoken with Colewin in Macridi about enlisting up he sent you inside the large building.
The moment you stepped through the large double doors a feeling of familiarity hit. The double doors opened into a large almost drinking hall like area, lined with tables and chairs. It was mostly empty, though the first thing you spotted with a olden human woman finely dressed speakign with three exotic individuals. One of them was a dark skinned elf ignoring the food in front of her on the table while stroking the head and ears of a large black great cat. Beside her equally ignoring his food was a brassy skinned fellow with fiery like hair. You could just spot a set of horns peeking through it. A third person (Chobo's new toon though ive no clue what is is yet.) sat listening as well.
The older woman paused with a slight frown as you entered. Once you explained you had spoken with Colewin about signing up she nodded and motioned for you to take a seat.
Several large bands of hobgoblins had raided settlements throughout Druma, and while Colewin first went to speak with the mayor of Macridi to ensure its safety, he had ordered Allura to make sure that all the current teams out on missions were safe. So they were sending reinforcements out. They needed those jobs done ASAP. The four of you were being sent to join a rather vague mission in the Capital. An old member of the Shields had unusual guests and had asked for help. You were being sent to reinforce that team and once that mission was done. There would be a small caravan for you to protect back to Macridi.
With the briefing over, you all were told to meet her In the south tower in ten minutes.. She pulled you Gudleifr to the side and had you wait. She returned in a few moments with a peice of parchment with a contract for you to sign. Briefly reading it you found it held the terms of being a silver shield. it looked pretty standard.
All items looted were to be turned in at the end of the mission, While you could use anything found during the mission at its end it was to be turned in and sold, with all the wealth then distrubited amongst the party. A request to keep the item could be submitted and reviewed of course. No living member of the shields was to be abandoned and left behind. Fallen members were to be recovered and brought home if possible. There was to be no worshiping of evil or heritical gods. All Shields were to be treated with respect no matter their race, all were welcome here as long as they adhered to the rules.
It went on to list several other minor things, 1st year members were expected to stay in the barracks at the keep. Their was a tithe of your wages to pay it. A tithe would be taken from your wages in the event you fall in battle and can be brought back, along with a list of things that you could be fined for. (things like drunk on duty etc...)
Once signed she did go on to tell you to be careful this first mission. She didnt have time to ritualistically attune you to the armband that made you trackable in the event of capture or death, but that she would have one waiting when you returned.
With that, she sent you to join the others.
The southern tower was easy to find... it was the only one built into the southern wall of the enclaves walls. There once you were all gathered Allura arrived with a scroll. She had you all gather in a strange ritualistic circle on the floor and she cast a spell... before you knew it you were standing in a stableyards behind some building....
whats up?
Hello All!
Here is Chobo's new PC.
Background: He is the son of two members of the Mercenary League and has aspirations on joining that illustrious company but knows he must first pay his dues with other mercenary organizations. He learned alchemy at the hands of one of the Black Jacket support personal. he has been in and out of trouble when he met Colewin.
He is a human Investigator (empiricist) and took the feats Medium armor proficiency and toughness so he should be able to help on the front lines.
Tindertwig suddenly begins to flex...
Rippit!, agrees the toad.
In order to get things moving im just sort of merging all together on the quick. Inil and Kelisa. Your mission ended with a huge hobgoblin army attacking the town you were in. Allura Somehow showed up, Gathered you two together with your Cat and Eidolon and magically teleported you back with a scroll she had. The others she informed you...well their armbands went dark and they were gone. That morning she gave you a quick briefing. She was sending you two, to the group that had been sent to Capital to provide help to a former member of the Silver shields now tavern owner. Once you procided what help you could to him, you were to escort a wagon of goods back to the Silver Shield compound.
Two new members were sent that direction now as well, Declan Thorne, and Gudleifr.
We are starting right now with you four being magically teleported again via scroll to the stableyard outside the tavern the other group was staying at.
Again this is to just get things going off quickly. Group Grey is half way done with their mission and I dont want you folk too far behind them if i can help it.
SO GO! start posting in that gameplay thread :)
Crap! I just noticed that we are only 1st! Oops! I will adjust him tomorrow.
Yeah catching up is why I am going looking for the owner. We were initially like lets be all subtle but now OOC we are behind and IC a bunch of guys just teleported here looking to link in with us so... yeah no point trying to keep up the discrete approach.
Gudleifr has done mercenary work but isn't used to the Shields. He's flexible enough that he can cover a number of combat roles well.
updates today after work
Guys, I am having trouble picking back up with the game. The games I am GMing are getting into the 2nd and 3rd book so are taking more time. In real life my job is busy and we we are planning a 2nd kid. I do not want to half ass a game on you guys which is what I feel I am doing.
I think Ryenalt will need to bow out. His knees hurt anyway so less walking would probably be good.
It was fun! maybe youll get to come back, as that seems to be the beauty of the silver shields!
Good luck!
What Kelisa said, if you find more time just hollar good travelling friend.
Also Miss Kelisa, feel free to hop in the gameplay tab. You all were magically teleported to this group. :)
I will.
I just overextended. I am GMing a 15th level game on another board and it is taxing to say the least.
Got called into work, just before i was going to start the post moving the party along to the dangers of sewer life :) well get a post up tonight sorry folks.
No worries. The heads up is appreciated.
Welcome Zinar, to the group :) To catch you up to speed Im posting your intro to the group in the gameplay section, any questions just ask
Also Zinar all players get a cool little item that i give them that is special. I'll email you the details of it in a bit, feel free to add it to your charector sheet.
I didnt send you an item yet did I Declan?
Just as a reminder, Gudleifr has his spear out. So hopefully might get a tasty reach attack.

These things happen. Take care.
No worries
No problem.
