Sorry to lose you, Arash. Hope things get better soon.
Glad to see you back, GM. Will work on the level bump stuff.
Libby's updated. I've redone her as a vanilla bard, as I feel she'd be more useful that way. Also, I've swapped a trait as it didn't work how I thought it did. The new trait is from the same category (social); if you'd rather me stick with the original trait, just lemme know. :)
Also, don't quote me but I *think* we're waiting for the guards to open one of the doors we're stood behind (preferably the south one!), the idea being that we block off their escape through the door to the north.
They are moving into the room across the hall from Gideon and Ferrin - it's unclear if they know you're there or not. Their behavior indicates that they don't.
And I'm fine with the trait change.
Sorry to see you go, Arash. Be well.
I've updated Calvin's stats to level 2.
Do we want to let these guys pass without attacking? Or should we ambush them?
Our planning has been a bit confusing, but looking back over it, I think Poki was going to hide under one of the tables in room 10, the mess room (near the door that Libby listened at), in order to surprise anyone coming out of the door. Is that right, Poki?
I'm also a little unsure where the door that Libby listened at is - in her post she listened to a door on the south wall, but on the map it looks like room 10 only has doors on the N and W walls. So I think the male and female voices were heard from the room to the north of #10. Is that correct, GM?
As to Calvin's question - Ferrin isn't close enough to have a conversation with the party about it, so he's likely going to proceed with the plan and attack them - especially if Poki is by herself in the mess room.
Working on levelling up my clockmaker.
Yahoo!
On the main prison map (here), you can see the door to room 11, which is the one Libby listened at. Also note that, in that room, there is a door to the outside.
The idea was to ambush them but, ideally, we need to prevent them from running off.
For hitpoints, don't forget that you can either roll or take average+1 (as per the recruitment thread)
Arash,
I'm sorry this didn't work out, but take care of yourself. You'll be missed.
Eveyone else,
Sorry, I literally fell asleep in the middle of a post last night.
Poki is under the table in Room 10 (NW corner) ready to ambush potential reinforcements. As far as the actual plan goes, it was to ambush the approaching guards, but it doesn't much matter who starts the ambush, as long as they are in between the two groups.
I'll get Poki leveled up sometime tonight. Thank you!
Erm, DM...unless Grumble gets the hell out of the way, we aint goin' nowhere!!! (You've not rolled his initiative)
Whoops. He'll go at the same time as the guards. And you can squeeze by, under and around him.
Finished leveling up Gideon; everything should be in order. I decided to just take the average for hit points. I should be getting plenty as is!
I also updated my gear and mini stat bar. I figure that actually having the correct info there would help. @_@
My apologies. I came back from vacation to a real mess at work. Long hours and no breaks. I finally slept this weekend, so I should finally be able to post reliably again.
@GM - are we waiting on the guards at this point?
Hey gang - I'll be camping Sunday-Wednesday, back for a day, and then I leave Friday for PaizoCon with my son. I may have a chance to post when I'm home on the 4th of July, but I may be otherwise engaged then. Bot me as needed to keep things moving.
Is there anybody there?
(I think) we're waiting on Poki.
Have we lost Poki?
Also, sorry about the slow-going. I'm still here!
I'm here, too. I've been sans internet for the last week (due to moving house) but I'm back now.
We should move on without Poki (for now).
It's the guards turn, I believe.
I'm back from PaizoCon and ready to move this game forward! I played a fun game as a minion of Grumblejack while there, and would really like for this game to be more active, to see what happens on the main plot line.
I agree about moving on without Poki and hoping she shows up again soon.
It really stinks when life gets in the way of gaming, doesn't it?
Again, apologies for the delay and thanks for sticking with me. We WILL escape this prison!
How was PaizoCon, Ferrin? Did you get to meet Gary?
PaizoCon was awesome. My son and I had so much fun. And we not only met Gary, we got to play in a game he GM'ed, the second MinionQuest adventure. It's a side-quest of sorts, I think in Book 7 of Way of the Wicked, in which you play pathetic minions of the evil powers that have sacked Daveryn. When my character did something that Grumblejack approved of, he smiled and said "I'll eat you last."
And the inventiveness of his story-telling definitely made me want to keep this game going!
Ferrin,
Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed MinionQuest! I had a blast running it both times.
You and your son ... that means you were in the Friday game, right? I specifically remember your son shooting the enraged chimera with an arrow. Now that took bravery. Or a low INT score. :)
Anyways, I too had an amazing Paizocon in no small part thanks to enthusiastic players like you and your son. Thanks for showing up and hopefully I'll see you again next year.

Wow. That's cool. How often does the author of the AP you're playing post on the discussion board?
My son loved your game, Gary - one of the first things he told his mom when we got home was the he was "on the buffet" for a chimera. The game was so fun, he took the death of his character completely in stride.
Libby was sentenced to life imprisonment...I didn't think I'd have to roleplay it!! :D
That's funny, Libby.
Any idea what we're waiting on? If it's Poki, I say Tallgrass bots her for the moment. If she's not around, we could stall the game forever waiting for her, and I'd rather play!
Wusshappnin?
Hi friends. I'm really sorry, but life has proven too busy to keep up with a reasonable, daily posting schedule.
I've loved gaming with you guys, but I'm going to have to pause my online games for now.
Happy gaming, all.
No probs, DM. Thanks for the game. I hope thinks settle down for you soon. :)
Sorry to hear it, GM. May life get more peaceful for you.
Hello, friends. Life has slowed down a bit, and I'd like to start some games back up. I don't think I'll revive any of my previous games, as most of you have probably moved on, but I did want to encourage you to apply for the game that I'll be posting in the recruitment thread shortly.
I look forward to gaming with some of you again!
