I should be good for gear.

Welcome Juraan - good to see you back in the fold hombre :)

Looking forward to having some arcane spell casting support as well lol

Gear wise - Maxim will claim the 20 tinder twigs and 2 smokesticks from our loot. Like Marigold he'll also invest in a MW Backpack @ 50GP if available.

Remember we have alchemical items in the loot - 8 sunrods that could be useful to our non-darkvision companions...

Also 4 vials of Anti-toxin... (cough) Assassins (cough)... Poison (wheeze)...

Thanks, Maxim.

It looks like you could've used my acid spell casting against that Kazmojen bozo earlier.
Oh well. Better late than never, eh?

Well, I do have the Light cantrip.
An el cheapo solution to not having darkvision.

I also have a bandoleer with 5 acid flasks which might come in handy.

Thanks for the light crossbow Ryan; it's much appreciated!

By the way, I'm working the next three nights (tonight included). I'll keep up and post as I can but if we should somehow wind up in combat then feel free to bot me to keep things moving!

I had more than my fair share of working nights over the years.

You have my condolences!

I think the others of you are interacting with other players, but let me know if you need some reaction from me!

In order to help you a bit, I finally got enough time to set a couple of maps of the Lucky Monkey. See in top of the Campaign tabs.

I set your tokens where I think you currently are right now.

I've been enjoying the RP we've had this past little bit; nice change of pace from dungeon-delving at breakneck speed ;)

Also I'll make some more updates to our Campaign journal/roster later on today!

It's a bit late, but if there are any dads here among us then I hope you had a great Father's Day :)

I'll be travelling most of the day tomorrow, will be able to post late night if not earlier

I'm here. Just posting dreams so you know I'm reading and staying on top of what is happening.

Pinging for interest- last GM post was Wednesday- happy to push, hoped I already had.

All the fun and games in Europe may be causing him problems. Lots of bad weather to mix in with Brexit.

Ouch.

And UEFA Euro 2016 is also happening!
(England v. Iceland Monday)

Just checking in and hoping the turmoil in Europe (or anything else bad) isn't what's keeping Rutseg away.

Hi! I am here! We have a very big holiday on Thursday night when we receive the Summer with everybody using fireworks and jumping bonefires, the San Juan (Saint John). It is the most important holiday after New Year and Christmas day.

We stand the whole night awake. The next day I waked up with the Brexit and today I am going on elections for the Spanish parliament whom selects the President.

I also had some time for the Eurocup which reminds me to say I will try to post after work, but will have the evening busy by the Spanish-Italy match.

This tavern scene is very open and it requires a bit more time than normal for me to up posts, but we will go through!

Altogether it has resulted a very interesting long-weekend! :)

Excellent, GM Rutseg! Very glad to hear you're keeping your head above the many waves in the water :)

Spain-Italy game should be much more entertaining that Croatia-Portugal.
:o

Apologies on the silence all - home interwebs are once again acting up and stymieing any chance to post.

I'll grab posts at work when i can (there is a small upside to the recession in oil and gas :) - but don't let me hold things up.

GM Rusteg: how many Hero Points should I have?

I got to read up on those.
Especially now that I've just started something. :o

Mmmm... I think 2 is a good number for any new player joining the game from now on :)

Okay, thanks!

Sorry, guys, I need a little clarification- are events taking place that are exclusive to certain characters (Juraan, JJ)? I don't want to insert myself in a scene that doesn't include me at present.

That's fine.

You can Kikinnin, the whole inn was alarmed by the event ;)

Thanks, GM Rutseg! Heading up to Chicago- will likely ghost until Monday evening. Independence Day weekend over here, barbecues and big bangs in the sky...

It was Canada day here yesterday.

Did a little more work; here's a small document that has a listing of everyone we've seen or met since we got to the Lucky Monkey and what we know about each of them. Hopefully it'll be helpful in keeping all the different suspects friendly faces straight :)

Just wanted to say Happy 4th (if you're in the US) and Happy Monday (if you're the rest of the world)! :)

My middle child was born on the 4th of July.

It was a busy day for us!

Hey all I'm traveling to Peru for the week , will not have access to Internet while I'm gone, will be in and out of US airports till around 11pm eastern will update best I can.

As far as getting into any of the guest rooms goes, the only two things I can think of would be just try the doors (provided there's no one around to see) or try windows if there are any. It's getting dark but Marigold could also use Obscuring Mist to give some cover at the windows, maybe have people mistake it for some low-lying fog. The downside is that you can't see anything beyond 5 feet, even with Darkvision.

It's probably a bit too convoluted to use here, but I thought I'd throw it out there just the same :)

JJ forgot nobody else can pick locks.
"It's a life skill, how can you not know... oh, right... clergy... I mean like, I just learned stuff by repairing old locks..honest."

Ryan told me to bot him if needed while in Peru. I think he would have gone with the dwarves.

Brutal day at work gang - have some days off Friday and Monday so will get some posts up on the morrow.

Move things along if needbe GM-R.

Cheers

That 'work' stuff always gets in the way of all the fun!

Do not worry Maxim, it is real life. We will manage things here the best possible.

Day off and still I am apparently at work... Grrrrr.

However calm has been restored (literal and metaphoric) so will get some posting done this evening :)

Rather than clutter Gameplay I'll post this over here. Regarding everyone's current positions:

*JJ went outside first and attempted to track the people that went outside earlier.
*Kikinnin, Maxim, and Ryan all headed outside as well very shortly after JJ did but I believe they are still standing around outside the inn trying to decide whether to follow JJ or not.
*Juraan and Marigold are still inside. I know I didn't say anything about Marigold going outside and I don't see where Juraan did either, though Juraan did ask if he and Marigold should follow outside as well or wait in the inn.

So based on positioning, I think Scarface would be talking to Kikinnin, Maxim, and Ryan.

Got it.

I thought Juraan and Marigold were outside, keeping their eyes open for the others returning.

Your version is better.

This is my understanding also.

Back in town from Peru, great trip but officially bushes afer spending most of the past 29 hrs in airports and airplanes. Will catch up tomorrow and try to get a post in.

Welcome back - epic journey :)

Had to look it up, for its strangeness on my tongue. The day has arrived, and I shall depart for a two-week road trip. Spotty phone posting may ensue, though it may be difficult to discern the difference.

Oh! Have fun on your trip and be safe! We will see you when you post (if you are able) and if not, we'll see you in two weeks :)

Enjoy! Where are you going to? Anywhere special?

We're hitting Memphis, New Orleans, Miramar Beach, Gaitlinburg, then finally Galena... Mucho Motel :)

Slammed at work - stepping up in the absence of my boss whose also on "vacation" :)

Will hopefully get something up tonight but don't wait for Maxim!
