Just in case there's some confusion, everyone has been escorted from the inn so that the Nethysians can conduct their interrogation in private. No one is inside the inn except the wizards and the witness.
PS: That's 200 XP apiece, and we're levelling up on the medium chart. I'm still going to choose your PC classes for you, however. Don't worry, it's not going to be too crazy or unexpected.
Hrm, The Coin of Attica just went inactive. Is that an automatic thing on these board? Hope Drako is doing alright.
could be...I hope he is too
Happy new year to everyone
I PM'd Oz, haven't gotten anything back, do we want to reopen recruitment? Maybe there's a few guardsmen/random townsfolk nearby who want to help with the search...?
Sure, fine by me.
Alright, I'll open up two slots. That way, if/when Sera & Oz come back, we'll only have 5 players total.
Am I the only player left?
I am still here, wasn't sure where we were at with the game :)
Feel free to chime in about the recruitment submissions. Gonna postpone gameplay until we get that figured out.
When do you think you're going to close recruitment?
GM I believe arcane magic is what was regulated, divine magic is allowed outside of the Forum. That's why Seph is an Adept.
Maelius is correct. If one wanted to go adept--> arcane there would be strict regulations. But not Divine (me)
I am liking Taldo the tanner, I think there could be great rp opportunity there
Taldo looks around nervously
RP does that mean what I think it does
he drops his gaze and shuffles his feet
r..r...r..RP?
I was going to close it on Tuesday.
Haha, yeah I forgot about Adepts being divine. It's addressed.
Taldo, you may have a vote, but I think, to be fair maybe we should stay in the recruitment thread until selection, eh?
Since it's Tuesday. I'll put in my votes for
Taldo
Dominic
Really good options in there from the people who've posted submissions. Would be happy with any two really.
So that's a majority vote for Taldo, who should the other one be?
Don't worry about a well-rounded party, I'll see to that when we level.
I put my vote in for Dominic. What do you two think?
I am down with Dominic as well. A bookish type is always good.
I could see him having an adventurous side, wanting to see if the stories he has read is true. And then getting into mischief due to it lol.
Sounds good! With a majority vote, that means the winners are Taldo and Dominic. I will let them know!
Welcome new peoples!
Sorry about the earlier interruption, TLGM do you just want us to approach the party as they leave, or it there a specific place we should meet? Also would Taldon and Dominic have know each other?
I'm assuming you both have business in the guard office, so you'll just walk up and volunteer since the captain has already asked. And I doubt the two of you have met before, especially since Dominic is a citizen and a magical tome purveyor. In fact, the two of you might end up harboring animosity toward each other, if anything.
I'm gonna wait on Dominic's alias before I get back to the gameplay.
@Taldo & Dominic, something I didn't make clear in the recruitment. This was a verbal call to arms. Your characters happened to be in, or just outside the building when Captain Iyers called out. Also, this is a side mission and is not directly related to the main adventure.
It will serve well as your hook, however.
ok I assumed it was something he had announced earlier, thus the letter of permission, if you want me to play it different or go get gear or whatever just let me know, didn't mean to jump the gun, just excited to be in the game, thanks.
I think it would work well if Taldo happened to be coming up to join with his letter just as the verbal call went out. What do you guys think?
Sorry about the holdup everyone, I had a whole slew of family show up for an impromptu reunion. It was fun, but time consuming.
Not a problem, Dominic. RL comes first. Just intro when you're ready. And be sure to read back a page or so, that way you can get a feel for how to work yourself in. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask first.
And my point was that there wouldn't have been time for the letter to be written, as the call had just gone out moments ago. Nor is it formal in any way, so it wouldn't make sense for a letter to be written, even if the lot of you have been standing there long enough.
Your excitement is welcome and I adored your intro, it just doesn't fit the story as it stands. Feel free to retcon. For instance, you could've been on your way to fill an order when you overheard, and since you know the victim, you run in to volunteer. Or whatever you think would role play better.
let me think a little and I will post something else :)
Would it be ok if he explains that the sylph family told him about the boy disappearing and believing the captain would do the right thing; he gets the letter of permission and then goes to the captain hoping that they would be planning a "rescue"?
If not, when he hears the announcement he will get the captains attention and then run off to get permission then meet them on the way out of town.
I did not see a "public announcement" for a rescue party was it announced yet? Or am I really ahead of myself?
Not trying to make problems, Happy to adjust however fits best :)
The Captain also turns, "Do you two...er...three," He corrects himself, seeing Oz, "Want to join us? We're short-handed, and I'm sure my men would rather spend their afternoon at their usual posts. There's a day's wage in it for you..."
It wasn't public, I just figured you'd overhear, and then he'd welcome the help. My bad. I like your hopeful proactivity story, that works quite well! Okay, let's get started!
There was one thing I was uncertain of when I was building my character and that was Favored Class bonus, do we still need to choose a class even if we aren't necessarily going to level up in that class or do we choose our NPC class?
How about you keep it blank for now, and once you level up I'll let you retroactively choose that class as your favored. Or by all means choose your NPC class...pretty sure I'm not going to level you up in that, though.
@Sera, sorry, but I edited my last post. Feel free to retcon if that changes anything, but if not, we'll just wait for Taldo! As for your spell, does that let it understand you or vice versa?
I can understand it, but it cannot understand me nor can I communicate with it. I would need to have the tongues spell cast.
I will delete my original post then repost with what I want when i get some time
I almost forgot!
Everyone gets 100 XP for neutralizing the small air elemental! Make sure to keep track of your XP and let me know when you level up (I've got too much stuff going on to keep track of it myself).
I might have missed it, but what XP progression are we using?

Yes, you might recall:
"Not that we'd necessarily want to go through that way, but I seem to recall and a door in the north wall of the torture chamber. Just so we have all the options in front of us before choosing." It's clear the Captain couldn't care less what they did, he was just excited to be out in the field again.
However, judging from his facial expressions and body language, it's clear that Chase still would like to leave as soon as possible.
I've come across a pbp guideline that I think might help us, tell me what you think.
I will (try to) be on here every day. If the story is waiting for you and you haven't posted in over 24 hours, I will bot you. If I have to bot you three days in a row, I will RP your PC out. That's not to say you've been kicked out of the game. You can still come back, we'll just need a good plot device (e.g. you fell over board and it took you this long to find your way back, etc.)
If two of you think this is a good idea, I'll go ahead and implement it.

I'm good with that, but since I'm the "new guy" I would like to hear what the "older Characters" would like to do.
I am fine with thAt as well
Fine with trying that.
Sweet. If at any point you feel it to be unfair or in hindsight, a bad idea, just let me know.
