Timm Tones, you can join in at any time you would like now, though this fight looks like it will be quick. you can either be passing by and help them with the fight, or you can meet them in the village after the fight is over. up to you!
Thanks GM! Considering the holidays, I might post only next week. If the fight is still going on I might chime in to help, otherwise I'm fine with meeting them in the village.
Hold it there Hjorleaf, I highly doubt that the first attack counts as a surprise round as you have given a warning and even counted, secondly, the hex does not trigger an AOO. And I can understand that the character would be feeling mad, but still, WTF?!
To be honest, all I can say about what I'm seeing is - "ew, pvp". Is this possible, or encouraged, in this game? Because if it's the case, I fear it's not the game for me, and I'll step out. Honestly, I got disheartened already when I read it there, but was hoping it wasn't the case. Waiting on the GM at this point.
Sorry for your confusion.
as it states.
If he does not flee...
I attack. Consider it a held action.
You used your hex and I saved...My action was to attack again.
For a total of 46 points of damage which should put you a negative a lot
No AoO at all.
but just in case you do not like that then
I will take the first roll as my Init.
11+2 for a 13
You would go and attack me first with your hex.
I rolled 16 for the will save
I rolled a 18 for my attack for 21 points of damage.
I rolled a 15 for my next roll which even if you would use a hex slumber I would save and my next attack which has a high probability of hit would do 25 points of damage. Combat over!
No hard feelings but as you said this was coming due to the RP.
Now if you wish or the DM wishes to keep you around since you are the last one from the original group, I will happily step aside and leave the game. I even sent the DM a message some time ago stating the same thing because of the RPing. I said that it would come to blows if something was not done. Nothing was done hence the dead Magus.

No PVP is not encourage and I did everything I could to ignore the character but he kept poking the bear with the constant passive aggressiveness. I let myself get sucked in and eventually responded as the character was design to. There came a point where it was obvious that the magus character was more concerned with his own well being then the group as a whole. I feel that this will come to be more and more a problem as the game goes along.
As a after thought
I am done.
I really enjoy the game and my character but I can not see the character continuing on with the magus as part of the group. I wish all of you luck in this game.
Please remove me from the game so that it will clear from my campaign list and I will not get updates.
Looks like I missed a lot in a few days there.
for those of you who are newer here, this has been an issue in the past.
I do not encourage PvP at all in my campaigns. Hjorleaf has been played as a loud aggressive character, and has been warned in the past about how aggressively insulting he has been towards Easlis. I have checked in with the players a few times, and people were ok with the level we were at, though I have had to step in with warnings and checks a few times.
obviously this last post is way out of hand. the party has not gone as far as attacking each other before, and this is too far. if Hjorleaf did not remove himself in a fit I would be removing him right now.
Porablum has already messaged me to say they are out as well.
so that leaves us with Easlis and 2 new players. honestly, with the tunrover we have had recently, and now with this blow up, I am seriously considering folding this campaign. I have 2 other tables of RoW going, so if any of you are really enjoying this campaign or wanting to play more, let me know and I will keep you at the top of the list to come into those games, or could potentially bring you in as an extra player in one of them.
one game is well before this one, still just getting to Nadya's house in Waldsby
the other is entering the final 3rd of this book.
If you all really want to keep this game going I will consider it, but honestly this table is a struggle for me. with some long lapses in people posting and a bunch of people leaving. because I have 3 other games I am GMing I don't have the energy to force this game to continue if there isn't enough momentum from the players.
please check in with your thoughts, i will decide how to proceed by early next week
For a bit of a context to Timm Jones, Hjorleaf and Easlis were not in the best of relations for quite a bit of the campaign and the GM had even requested us to stop at one point, but as Hjorleaf stated we were just RPing the dysfunctional relation in the party between two very different characters.
I wouldn't have imagined it would get this far, not even after the post in which Hjorleaf was counting (since I haven't read the last spoiler only after I posted), I was expecting a punch maybe, or for it to be a test to see if the Easlis had the backbone to face him. I expected that after that or the sleep hex for the scuffle to be over.
As for the character being passive-aggressive - Hjorleaf you can go back and see that almost all of the sharp replies were a reply to something that has been said earlier and believe me if I would have known you are taking them personally I never would have gone that path.
As for my character contribution in the fights, I must admit I did not build Easlis to be combat-centric magus, sometimes I made the wrong choice picking the spells for the day thinking we would attempt subterfuge, sometimes I was left without offensive spells. But Easlis tried to pull his weight in any fight he could... except in this one, when I wanted to try something more different and ended up with a 2.5-year-old character investment dying in this unexpected way.
I do not expect to be treated any differently than any other players and most of all I do not intend to ruin anyone's fun because of my bad misjudgement. Thus, please continue in the current party format.
But I will be taking a break from RP-ing. It truly enjoyed playing with you guys and hope to see you in some other games later in the future.
It's a pity, but some people are quite toxic here in the forums. I usually take notes of the player names to avoid them around. I just built Timm and he literally posted twice or thrice in gameplay... It's painful to see a character that wasn't simple to build go to waste, but I wouldn't want to push the GM into hosting a game he doesn't want to.
I'd rather he's happy playing in the games he's enjoying, as hosting games is almost a second job. Please, GM, keep me in my for future games if you have other openings - not necessarily with Timm, but I mean as a player. I was looking forward to it, but yet I prefer playing with people that are enjoying their games. I hate the toxicity of some players.
Cheers! At least I got to burn something from the get go! :)
I wanted to take a few days to think about my response. First off I have wanted to play RoW for a long time so I am really bummed this happened. I have never abandoned a game so I would love to play with you all someplace else.
I have no idea what had happened between the players in the past so I can’t comment on that.
It seems like these games shed characters so quickly lately, maybe those of us who still want to play can complete the scene to get to know each other character wise and then maybe we can move (I think there are 3 of us left?) to one of your active games? I don’t think any of our builds are maxed or all that powerful at all, but I am not a DM so I don’t know how a pain in the bagiokie that would be.
I have been unable to contact one of my players in my other book 2 RoW game, and we are thinking that we will need to replace him if he doesn't check in by the time we are finished with this section.
I would be happy to bring one of you into that game, and am considering bringing in both of you and making it a 6 player party.
I want to make sure that if you want to joint hat game you are planning on sticking around and willing to be a team player. that table has been going very well and we have some really great backstories and RP, which has made it one of my favorite games I've been involved in. I want to make sure that any changes to the group will not disrupt that.
if you are interested in joining that game, send me a PM.
we currently have
human winter witch
human gunslinger
human warpriest
human oracle/fighter
human ranger (this is the one who is MIA)
you can either reuse the character you have built here, or change it to a new concept if you want.
the group is currently at level 5, but will be going to 6 very soon. they are currently moving through a tower, so will likely not make sense to pick up a new PC until they are finished with that.
