Aubrey's Other Eberron Campaign - The Unbinding (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

Thanks for letting us know.

I will likely be gone most of tomorrow(it's late evening at the moment) due to some unexpected things in the family. You can assume that Wultram is just seething in the background in the meanwhile.

Just to let you fine folk know, I will be on holiday for a week starting on Saturday.

Just a reminder - after today I'm outta here for a week.

Away for the long weekend.

Hey, everyone. Sorry for the sudden disappearance. The last few days were unexpectedly busier than usual. I should be able to post regularly again starting tomorrow.

Welcome back.

Heads up,

My posts will be sparing for the next day. I will be flying on a trip. The trip will be mostly leisure, but I will be working via phone/laptop. As such, I will still have time to post.

If you are one of those folks that has estimated the approximate times I am typically online, I will be on at different times. Five hour time zone difference will have me signing off five hours early, but also a drastically reduced work schedule will have me begin posting much earlier.

Hello everyone. You may have noticed my complete absence from the forums over the last few days. There's been a medical emergency in my family, and I've been dealing with that.
Things are tentatively looking better, though, so I am back now. I apologize for the inconvenience.

hopefully things go well for your family.

Sorry to hear it, Ben - like Tenro says, hopefully things are looking up.

Agreed. Sending you good vibes.

Good luck with everything.

Likewise. I hope that 'tentatively' getting better, soon turns to 'definitively'.

I am going to be in transit going to visit relatives for most of tomorrow, so I may not be able to post for most of the day (and definitely not while I am on the plane).
After that I should be available again.

I hadn't thought of trying to co-opt them. That could be a good idea, BC.

On the other hand, Irret might not have cleared them because she knows they're loyal to Ilyeshshi.

We could blitz them and try to leave them stable after gutting them as a public relations measure.

On the third hand, if we just walk in and say we're here to see the chief, we can see which door is the right way when a Finback goes to see his Scalyness.

Rehil's going to lean toward blitz, but if the players don't like that option I'll go along with whatever.

Have we got any magical communication options?

Sorry for being a bit detached lately - work has been a bit busy.

Also, as a heads-up, I will be on holiday for two weeks commencing Saturday 4th July.

As you know I'm on holiday at the end of the week. As usual, I've got stuff to do at home (or more specifically, in the garden, where I bought a load of plants and need to stick them in the ground before we go on holiday, lest the heat turn them into little withered sticks in their pots by the time we get back) and to a lesser extent at work (though that is largely done). Sorry for being a bit quiet the last few days. I'm hoping to set things up properly in the games before I go away.

No worries, Aubrey. I figured that was the case. What are you putting in? I just got the tomatoes and other vegetables in two weeks ago. Finished mulching with sea grass Saturday in time for Sunday's storm.

I'm a flowers man, so it's Hemerocallis, Phlox, Geranium and Digitalis.

I'm going to warn you against the Phlox right now. They swarm.

Too late, they're in. I've got some others and they seem reasonably well-behaved.

Thanks for the heads up Aubrey. Enjoy the outdoor work!

Have a nice vacation, Aubrey.

OK, I'm outta here! See you all Sunday after next.

Have fun!

Bon voyage!

See ya in a a couple weeks!

Don't think we can talk our way out of this one.

Question is whether to pull a Leroy Jenkins or a Han Solo?

Start with LJ, then switch to HS?

Pulling a Han Solo is pretty much just shooting first, right? If so, I'm not really sure what the difference is ... I mean other than how recklessly we do it.

Ah. I had the scene where he goes charging after the storm troopers, only to meet with a whole group of them and then turns tail.

Otto caught my drift.

If we're going Leroy Jenkins, I'd actually try
to get to the far side of them.

Pulling a HS made me think of the carbonite sequence. Let's not do that.

I say strike first. We have Rehil, Nalverren and Cole acting before them. The former 2 will likely take some hits but shouldn't be much. This should probably kill at least one of them before the finbacks even get to act. If retreating back to the main group there is a risk of the enemy getting reinforcements.

The risk of reinforcements lies heavy on my mind too.

Although it would be funny to dash past Nalverren with the enemy in pursuit.

Pulling a HS made me think of the carbonite sequence. Let's not do that.

Agreed.

Just as well Aubrey's on vacation. Work has been brutal.

I'll try to get Rehil's post in tonight. That way Nalverren can post too and we'll be all set for the Aubster's triumphant return.

Same on my end. Work turned into one long crap storm the last few weeks. So I feel for ya, therealthom.

yeah, i spent all week preparing for a hearing to determine if there would be a trial, and then other circumstances caused the trial not to happen.

and im not even a lawyer, just a witness

Tenro, that made me laugh. Perfect 'timing' with the length of the first line.

So, table's set.

Either way Aubrey rules on Cole's movement, I think we'll be in good shape. If M11 you'll have a good charging lane next turn. If O6, they've got to engage you or suffer AoO to go by.

After the lizardmen go Ashshar and Vaard can both put themselves in good position for round 2. Otto and Wultram can get into good casting position too.

The lizardmen will get their licks in this round, but round 2 could be ours.

I am planning on going for a flank once the zombies do their thing.

ZOMBIES?!

Zombie lizardfolk?

Lombie Zizardfolk?

What you people on about I don't get animate dead until level 8? :p

Are you planning on turning me into a lombir zizardfolk? And you didn't even give the curtousey of asking me first?!?

Don't be silly, you have class levels, you will be cheletal skampion at the very least.

Funny, guys. I love the Spoonerisms, but frankly am not clever enough to contribute.

Hey, Ben, is Vaard really at 17 of 33 after our healing session before embarking on this assassination?
