Beacons of Hope: Wrath of the Righteous!

Game Master GM the Fifth

Excellent!

Sounds good to moi.

At long last! LET THE BATTLE BEGIN! >:)

We can be like Megatron in the only Transformers movie that counts, THEIR DEFENSES ARE BROKEN! LET THE SLAUGHTER BEGIN!

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GO-oh wait, wrong franchise! :P

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GO-oh wait, wrong franchise! :P

And wrong side.

I much prefer GEN 1 Transformers...

Just realized I jumped the gun on posting, so I deleted it. Will wait until initiative turn to act (hoping my luck holds)

lol

I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow with my family: we're going to Chicago! As such, my ability to post will be limited to my phone, which will be playing double-duty as a camera and navigation device, anyway. I'll be back on Sunday, July 2nd. Please feel free to bot Arloric as needed while I'm gone.

I am traveling over the next few days as well. I will be able to check in, but sporadically.

I am back from my Chicago trip and will begin catching up on posting this afternoon after work! Thank you for your patience.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th! I'm going to see the new Indiana Jones movie tonight!

Happy 4th

Hello, everyone! If you are based in the U.S. I hope you had a good holiday weekend.

Our electricity went out yesterday for a few hours so I am not quite caught up from my trip (where, ironically, severe thunderstorms knocked out power to much of the region for several hours if you were lucky and several days if you weren't). I'll try to get the VTT back up and running tonight and move us along.

Yikes! There were some big storms in Chicago when we left Illinois on Sunday. Some spots there got 9 inches of rain!

Supposed to hit 100 degrees tomorrow.

Hope you're all doing well with the intense weather.

We hit triple digits on Thursday!

One of the schools that I interviewed with in May contacted me today with an offer almost 30k more than I am making now. I will be resigning tomorrow and think that the 28th will be my last day at Job Corps.

There ya go!

Hi guys! Just to tell you I went on holidays with the idea of connecting from the phone, but found out there's totally no signal here. I managed to come to the major city today and rushed to warn you I'll be stuck in the real world until Sunday.

Thanks for the heads-up. Hope you're having fun

Is my group within line of sight of one of the other towers we haven't hit yet? There were 4 right?

Yes, four towers with catapults. And you can see each one. The book doesn't give a distance to each but assume it's three full rounds of movement to the next one by moving along the ramparts (same goes for the other group--three rounds to get to the next one from where they are). You don't need to fly to do this.

While you could fly direct between them a lot faster, there are three whole armies down below and you would expose yourself to a considerable number of ranged attacks if you were to attempt to do that. You'd be a ripe and tempting target. (In other words, your GM is telling you not to do that.)

Will the summoned creatures follow?

Telerin, I'm pretty sure we're on two different towers. Also your summoned creatures will do whatever you want, but the 3 rounds to get to the next tower will be used up summons time.

If you can't communicate with a summoned creature, it will simply attack your enemies until they are destroyed, it's destroyed, or the spell runs out.

If your enemies are destroyed, it will hang around until it senses that you have a new opponent (since they naturally understand who your enemies are).

Hi and sorry for the absence. I was on holidays, and wanted to check in after I came back home. Then I got sent to a formation for promotion at job, and my studies got even busier, so it took me more than intended to come back. I didn't even have time for my RL game!

But with all of this in mind, and given I'm not the biggest poster ever, I think it would be wise to retire and leave an empty spot.

I don't know when, or even if I'll be able to come back, but I hope you'll live daring adventures and be able to forgive me for leaving like that.

Wish you all well.

Thanks for the notice and I understand about life getting in the way. Take care, and if your situation ever changes drop me a line.

Be safe, Bron.

Sorry for the lack of posting, work has been a pain in the butt. Found out I won't be getting the text books I need for the school to be in compliance with the State as to what needs to be taught, until at least November! Needless to say, I am not pleased

Hey folks! I had jury duty this week and then right after that I got sick. A consequence of being in a room with 200 other potential jurors, I am sure.

Ugh that sucks, sorry to hear it.

Just messaging to note that I'm still here, but have no useful skills or spells for this moment in the adventure!

I loved jury duty the only time I was on it.

The one time I was called in for jury duty I was ultimately turned down in the selection process because I seemed TOO ethical and willing to try and suspend my biases! :P

I was removed from service for saying that I didn't automatically believe cops without evidence.

Seriously, what I said was along the lines of "I'll examine the evidence presented to us, and try my hardest to keep an open mind, innocent until proven guilty and all that. I know I've got biases, and I will do my best to suspend them and go where the evidence leads, etc."

And the judge basically said "We won't be needing you for this trial. But personally I think we could use more people like you in this world."

It was a murder trial, too. Guy was accused of, if I remember correctly, pushing his pregnant wife down the stairs and killing her. The jury they DID select ended up convicting him. *shrug*

I was removed from service for saying that I didn't automatically believe cops without evidence.

Yeah, they don't like that.

I got to sit through the trial but was then excused.

At the time of the original interview, I had a friend who was a cop, so I had to note that on the form. The judge asked me about that and asked if I knew what the cop did on the force. I replied, To be honest your honor I do not think anyone, even himself, knows what he does. The whole courtroom erupted in laughter.

What can I say but YIKES?!

When I was dismissed for the final deliberation the judge asked the two of us who were alternates if we had any questions. I asked if I could keep the juror pin. He laughed and said in all the time he had been a judge no one had asked him that so he said I could keep it.

Okay. I think we're out of scrolls for spider-climb, fly etc so it looks like the fastest way up the tower would be Uriel flying up then extending rope down. Anyone have any other ideas besides a long climb?

I think I still have a use of the scale, but that'd only work for me. Still, it'd ensure Uriel's not up there by his lonesome.

Ah, forgot the scales.

If it is the next day I should be able to memorize a fly spell or two.
