(5) Ancient Fortress of Kotelia (Table B) (Inactive)

Game Master mdt

Tower Added to map.

Many thanks! So it sounds like the Lathan are probably in that bit of plains in the bottom corner of our wedge?

I can neither confirm nor deny that. :) You didn't really have a map with you, so all you got was 'east and south'.

No, we also got that they were on the plains, as I recall. ;)

Anyway, let's angle our path towards that spot.

There, I drew in my proposed direction of travel on the local map. Does it look good to everyone?

Looks good to me.

Looks good, thanks for doing that. Oh and mdt do you need anything from us while we hike in the direction suggested? We have rather vague directions so maybe we need to ask Terex to fly up and try to spot any distant towns / cultivated lands.

That probably wouldn't hurt. :) The big limit right now is I'm swamped at work, so this week is likely to be slow. And I need to load up my map editor so I can look over my notes for the various towns/buildings/etc on the main map (that you can't see).

Death in the family should return next week.

Sorry to hear that, please accept our condolences.

Sorry about the break guys, I got slammed hard by work last week and things are just getting back to normal. I have worked about 90 hours since last Monday. When I do get some time off I'm exhausted.

I hope to get things back again tomorrow or Saturday.

Also, condolences Xaeken.

Ouch. :(

Things are just taking a lot of work to get back off the ground post coming back. Work, home, etc. I'll read up over the weekend and hit the ground fresh on Monday. Apologies for the delay.

Reference for the height of the grass

I got a fun little sketch of Terex!

I can just imagine the expression on his face if he catches the rabbit.

Nah, I'm pretty sure he'd just eat it. :D

Sorry everyone, new contract, and I have to drive 4 hours to reach it Monday and 4 hours to get home Friday. Was sick Thursday, so all in all, sucky week. Should get better next week, and the week after. Got a hotel room for the whole month now, so I can drive in on Sunday nights and back on Saturday mornings, meaning I'll get more rest and not have any more 14 hour days. Had 33 hours Wednesday evening before getting sick.

No problem! Take care of yourself!

I'm just kind of quiet because I'm utterly swamped at work.

Monday : 4 hours driving, 6 hours work
Tuesday : 9 hours work
Wednesday : 10 hours work
Thursday : 9.5 hours work
Friday : 6 hours work 4 hours driving
Saturday : 5 hours work 3 hours pick up mom at Airport
Sunday : 2 hours work 3 hours deal with dimentia suffering father watch movie with mother and wife, 4 hours driving

Ouch. :( Hopefully it eases up!

By the way: I got a fun size chart that includes Terex. :)

^^

On a serious note, Lets hope things ease up for MDT!

Sorry everyone. Work is kicking my ass. I'll try to get posts up today.

Thanks for letting us know! Don't get too stressed about posting, real life takes priority.

*sigh*

Ouch! :( Hopefully things start to go better for you!

Hi guys! I will be stepping out of the game. Have fun! GM, thanks for having me and I apologize for leaving. Would you please be so kind to put me on the inactive list? Thanks!

Too bad. :( Have fun out there!

Sorry to see you go. Maybe we'll get a chance to game together again.

So my work is getting shut down by protests and armed threats and other bullshit. This plus general family crap is really disrupting my chances to sit at a computer. I hope to be back more solidly next week. Apologies.

Oh, no! Stay safe!

Metagaming just slightly here, but a single minotaur who hit twice in a full attack could probably kill any of us in a single round, so we may want to be very careful about 3 minotaurs + goblin slaves.

Is it practical to evade them? Otherwise diplomacy if possible is our best bet.

I got another fun Terex commission. He's just so photogenic! :D

I dunno....looks sneaky that one...full of mischief.

Oh, definitely. ;)

I'm sorry folks but I am barely able to log on these days with everything I have going on. In the interest of not impeding things I am bowing out. thanks for the opportunity.

Awwww :(

I'm taking the family off on holiday from Saturday till 29th August. We're going on a cruise so there'll be days where I don't have internet. I'll try to post when I can but it's probably best to bot me as needed.

To be clear, Terex *will* fly up high and take a look at things, he just wants to make clear how little he likes it.

We are in a vast flat plain as the GM put it. Flying up to 60ft will already give you a better view of our surroundings, then the rest of us on the ground. You will still be within "communication" distance and a single move to get back to us. If after going up to 60 ft, you still don't see anything, then we will consider our next move. Rokas doesn't want you to take too much of a risk, but your flight ability is a major advantage.

I agree.

Oh, I understand, I'm just thinking that Terex, having lived in Kotelia all his life until recently, and being conscious of his small size, would be very nervous about being so exposed. And it looks like he ended up being fine. He may learn to enjoy this yet. :D

Next level I get access to level 2 formulas, I'm guessing that you would like that I take invisibility? ;)

I'm a rogue. Of course I want to be invisible. :)

Invisibility is super powerful at low level, a counter might be good too.

I only gain 1 free formula per level up, the rest I need to find. But I agree that having a counter to invisibility would be a good idea.

Also, Kincaid... are you ever going to heal that one point of damage??? Or does Rokas need to pour down a cure light wounds infusion down your throat while you sleep? ;)

Uh I probably should be more diligent at keeping track of his HP. I think we can assume he used LoH at some point.

Among his many other useful traits, Terex also has Blindsense 60', which is not a hard counter against invisibility but does at least tell you what square(s) something invisible is in.

Terex: Good for everything but actually hurting things. ;)
