Four does seem a little small as a party to me; if Landon comes back, and we're at a solid five, I'd still feel better if we got an arcane caster for the group as well. Hopefully Landon will drop in sometime soon and give us an update on his status.
Also, as an aside, I'm thinking of asking players to run an NPC during combat as well. It's kind of arduous for me to play both baddies and allied NPC's in combat. Would anyone be up for that?
Is be down. Is say running belina would make sense
Hmmm. I've often contemplated whether I might delegate some duties if I ever get to DM around a table again, so I see no problem in principle. Especially when it does make sense, like in Hezar's case.
I got a PM from Landon advising me that he may not be able to return to the game due to personal circumstances. So, looks like we are down to four, for the time being at least. I'm unsure what to do about your declining numbers.
Bummer. No party size is enough to balance out the tragedy of losing someone. I, however, will roll with the punches. If you recruit someone, I'll give 'em the shortspoken gruff Dwarf act just as solidly as anyone in the party, and we'll keep right on truckin.'
That's too bad. :( I know a great roleplayer or two who might be willing to join us, though, if you want me to contact him/them.
I would prefer not to control any NPCs, though of course I can help out if things get too heavy.
Sadness.
I am happy if you want to bring someone in or if you want to just keep trucking as belgrin says.
I think people fade out because the posting rate is inconsistent. If we figure out how fast this game moves, now that you have your new job figured out. then we can bring in someone who wants to play that pace. When we brought the last group in it was on a 1 or 2 post daily rate, now we are at 2-3 per week.
Anyhow those are my thoughts on this I think the game is great still. The slow down actually came a great time for me as I was doing 16 hour days for a while the past month.
Yikes. Dad did that for many years, and he was one bear you did NOT want to wake. empathy for you, sympathy for anyone living with, hehe.
Hey everyone,
If you know any players whom you think would be a good fit for the game, please let them know that I'm looking for two players to bolster our numbers. I'd prefer your referrals to holding another open recruitment.
I'm thinking we can have them join you once you're north of the pass - perhaps they are hunting for Kane, as well.
Thanks in advance!
I've referred the guys I know to the recruitment thread/to contact you directly, DM Locke - with luck they may decide to join us.
Happy Turkey Day, Americans! :) Mmm, turkey... *looks at empty fridge forlornly*
Turkey...sleepy...zzz
I'll be away over the weekend, so I may not be able to post.
Hello all!
It appears that I will be joining the game, and that Nijena may be encountering your party in the near future.
Still fleshing out all the character details, but should have a sheet up before the end of the weekend.
Happy to be aboard. :-)
INTRUDER ALERT!
HALT MUTANT. IDENTIFY YOURSELF.

Me? *innocent face*
I'm Jos.
Still working out exactly who Nijena, of clan Osuki is. :-)
hullo!
And the curse of the disappearing mages begins again...will it claim another victim? Or will this bold soul finally be the one to break the fated cycle?
STAY TUNED.
Lol
It is amazing at how hard it is to get folks who will stick to it on the forums or at least say that they are backing out.
I tend to stick.
Ask Kris. Been in games with Kris since 2003. :-)
And I enjoy casters.
Just... not normal ones.
"normal" caster?
...does not compute.
Speaking of not losing casters to gruesome deaths, I apparently need to catch up a few levels of HP...
Hmm... Looks like "the average" it is...
Hopefully we're getting all the low rolls out of the way now. If not, caster soup seems destined in the future.
Belated welcome! :) Looking forward to seeing what you do with your new caster.
A new wizard? Sweet, now I don't have to multiclass into wizard and get to stay as a rogue instead....
Wait a second, that's terrible! Damn it.
Seriously though, welcome to the party.
Hey, you can go Wizard if you like! Nijena is something of a Sorceress, so will *not* be the font of Arcane Lore that so many Wizards are.
On top of that, "she ain't from around here," so... yeah. :-)
Hmm... I detect quiet...Did I fail a Perception check?
Should I be making an Init roll?
Still here and waiting
Excellent!
It seems your party is ready to move forward. I'm almost ready to figure out how Nijena will run into everyone.
I've read all the posts up to now, and I'm excited to get playing with you folks. Yay!

That's a pretty impressive roll. You made the DC...by 1. :-)
If those super secret rolls involve stonework, I get an auto-check in 10 feet!
NO SECRET STONE IS SAFE.
*bonk*
Found one! :-)
I think elves get bonuses to find secret anythings. *grins at Janiries*
Hey guys. I am getting on a plane at 7:15pmCalifornia time and will be flying to the other side of the world. I will update from the airport in CA, then again on my long layover from the airport in London. I will then post a couple times away from the Middle East, but of course I will be on a weird time zone. So If I am a player in your game then please bot as necessary. If I am your GM, my apologies for any slow down that we have for the coming few weeks. However since there is a holiday coming I suspect there will be a slow down in any event.
Wow - that sounds like quite the trip! Be safe, my friend!
Hi all. I'm KP. I'll be playing the new beat stick, Kevkas. He's a half-orc battle Oracle who often gets into friendly drunken brawls, occasionally argues with imaginary family members only he can see, and drops his giant sword frequently enough that he keeps it tied to his wrist with a string to make sure he doesn't lose it. Should be fun. Glad to be on board.
Hmm...
If it weren't for the "half-orc" part, it sounds like Kevkas would get along swimmingly with Belgrin and Janiries.
This is looking like fun on the horizon... :-)
yep glad to have you both
Yay! Welcome KP!
Hmm...
Why do I suspect Hezar's last post was made from a phone, with auto-correct? :-)
Welcome newbies! Hopefully the 'meeting in an inn' introduction won't be too clichéd.
You won't be meeting the new players at the inn - heehee :-)
Just so everyone knows, I'm thinking of a one week shutdown, from Christmas day (dec 25th) to new years (jan 1st). I expect most will likely be busy during that time frame anyway, so a short break will probably be welcome.
Hmm...

Come on. Half-Orc with an 18 STR and a 17 Cha? He'll get along with everybody. He's like the Rock, but stronger and better looking (not better smelling, though, unfortunately).
"Who does the extrovert gorilla make friends with?" "Whoever he wants!" :)
Edited to try out the "post as" feature.

"Can you Smelllllllll what the Kev has cookin'?"
*sniff, sniff*
"Ew! No! I just smell wet dog!"
most charismatic half orc ever? We shall see...
I think that honor belongs to Belgrin :)
Ooooooooooh! I think them's fightin' words, Hezar! ;)

Close, but it's more hot peppers, meat, and beer. Yum! He keeps himself pretty clean. Too bad the toothbrush hasn't been invented.

In the words of a wise man: "...challenge accepted!" :)
My beard's more ornately groomed than yours, Hezar. I win.
