Carrion Crown Blues: Broken Moon

Game Master Kartari

Ok, I think I actually do have some time today. I should be able to get my GM and NPC posts up within the next hour or so.

Sorry for the delay. My son's wedding at the end of this month seems to keep me occupied for some reason

Hope everything goes flawlessly!

Gee, I wonder why you're so occupied, being his mother and all, LOL. Congrats, Zelda!!

Concluding Schloss Caromarc

You have now pretty much completed Schloss Caromarc. Congratulations on a major accomplishment... and on leveling up!

You all level up to level 8 after your next long rest! :D

I'd like to see your updated "character sheets" within the next week or so. Feel free to write it up in your Paizo character's profile and/or send me a sheet link or file, as you wish. And don't forget to update your stat blocks (in your profiles).

The time is currently somewhere between 1 and 2am. You're all tired from a very long day. Feel free to roleplay, discuss what you just found, etc., as you wish until my next post in about a week.

I'm planning to write up a fast forward post in the near future, probably for next time in about a week. If any of you wanted to re-explore anything in the castle for any reason though, feel free to say so, I won't rush you.

Unless you indicate otherwise, I'll assume you all take a breather, catch up with your horses, take a long rest overnight (if not in this creepy castle, you can choose to camp out or whatever, just let me know), and find and cross the bridge further north (upriver) which the Count mentioned before his death. Unless you have other ideas, I will move things up to the hunting trail in Shudderwood Forest which Judge Daramid had suggested you take to reach Ascanor Lodge, the trail being the necromancer Auren Vrood's most likely path.

Thanks all. And don't forget to update your profile stat blocks, too.

I'm having a really busy couple of weeks again. I'm planning to review and post again Sunday.

Long term, I am expecting to be a more consistent poster again. Just working a full-time job, a part-time job, and still wrapping up intermittent work from the job I was supposed to leave in March, not to mention other personal stuff going on, LOL. The latter two will get better (eventually...) and I should be able to pick up the pace again then. Thank you for your patience!

So much for posting today. Sorry all, I just got in and I need to wake up early for work tomorrow. I will move the game forward as soon as I possibly can.

Hey everyone. Just checking in for now. I've got a lot going on still. I'm definitely not disappearing on you all, don't worry! Sooner or later I'll get back into the swing of things.

Thanks for letting us know. Take care

Happy 4th to all who celebrate here in the US.

Ok... I believe I can get things starting up again tomorrow at some point. I can't guarantee it, but the odds are with us for a change.

Thanks for hanging in there everyone!

...

If anyone hasn't yet, remember to level up your character to level 8. Also please update your profile stat block to reflect your new level.

In case it affects your choices or preparations, here's a heads up that I'll be fast forwarding the game to Shudderwood Forest the next morning.

I've got more to post, but the site is acting wonky and I was only able to get one up correctly. I'll try to post the rest later today.

At last, the game is back on!

I'll probably go back to posting at a rate of once weekly on weekends now. Assuming you are mostly posting just as frequently, if not moreso.

As an aside, this technically begins part 1 of book 3 of Carrion Crown. That's why there's a book 3 announcement post. The last meeting with Judge Daramid and navigating Schloss Caromarc were intermediary adventures between the two books that I was inspired to create, based on the introductory materials from book 3. Our earlier party missed out on some critical information, so this presented me with an opportunity to avoid an aimless wandering party situation, or at the other extreme a party that goes into the Shudderwood just because the GM told them to.

Sorry for my absence, got Covid (again) and it made a mess of me trying to remember what all I was doing or what my schedule was.

Oh wow, why get it once when you can get it twice, I guess... Feel better!

And absolutely no worries, I just updated the game after over a month of being away myself. Things should become more regular for me again though.

Sorry, I lost access to my account for a bit there due to a password reset issue. Hope everyone is doing well/is still around.

No worries Christoph. It's been quite the spring/summer for me between work and personal issues going on. There's definitely been progress though. That was a long absence for me, but I suspect the rest of us will return, sooner or later.

I'll probably move the game forward this weekend, give everyone some more time.

Hope everyone's doing well!

I'll move the game forward tomorrow, give the rest of us a little more time to post.

Hope everyone is doing okay, I've put this off for far too long and I think it's best I bow out of this game ( and others I'm on), I just keep forgetting to come to the forums to check and post and when I do I just post the bare minimum, It's become a chore that I don't look forward to, and me not posting and holding things up isn't fair to the other players or the GM.

Nothing against any of you, absolutely not, you're the best.

*hugs Katari*

*hugs Mark*

I completely understand, Naught.

I'm very sorry to see you go, though. We've been in this game together with Zelda since February 2014?! Here's our original Carrion Crown game.

For those who do not know, Naught, Zelda, and I originally began as players accepted into a new Carrion Crown game back in 2014. The original GM disappeared almost immediately. One of the other players took over and started a new game thread (this one) and named it Carrion Crown Blues, I think because we were sad the original GM left, LOL. He then left partly through the first book. Another player then took over as GM, and got us further along to the conclusion of book two before also leaving. I then took over a few years ago to keep things going.

It's been a lot of fun, Naught. You're truly a great roleplayer, and I hope to game with you again one of these days.

* hugs Naught back *

*hugs Kartari back*

... I just realized there's two r's in your name...

Most people miss the second r, LOL. People probably think of Atari, and just add a k in front. :D

That's what I was doing yeah XD

Sneaky dot of dotting 'Dotness'... (>_>)

*Squeeeeee...*

Ooooo... I yam sooo exited! (^_^)

*Bounces up and down...*

Ah! No! Wait! Ahm... Uhm... bugger! T'is a 'E' word. *Ponders*

...and so much for the element of surprise, LOL.

Everyone, I've found us a new (soon to be) player. Her name is... Comma? Or Sunset... though I know her as Sunny... a lass of many names! :D We've been playing together for a long time in several pirate-themed campaigns here (Skull & Shackles plus others) so I'm sure this will work out quite well. :)

Welcome!

(<_<)

(>_>)

I wus doin' tha' whole dot dottin' dit thingy ta' be keepin' tabs on'a story.

In't I s'posed ta' be doin' that?

Also. HELLO every bodys! (^_^)

*Waves madly*

? Oh! May I join the game and post behind a spoiler, parhaps ?

(>_>)

Very cool. Welcome! (I know Sunny from the game in which I'm Ghirrak, captain of the ship)

*Waves hello to Rhia/Ghirrak*

(^_^)

Pending the GM's approval for appearing in the game thread

LOL no worries Sunny. You're right about dotting, and while I had something else in mind, actually this is a way cooler appearance so, by all means, feel free to start posting in the gameplay thread! :)

Map Update. Everyone, I just updated the map (click Current Map in my profile). I'll try to get a pointer indicating "You are here", but I'll describe for now that you're approximately at the apostrophe in the word "Troll's Tail", just southeast of said river. The faint gray dotted trail from Schloss Caromarc through Ascanor Lodge and on to Chastel is the Silent Path, the hunting trail you're on.

*Waves madly*

Hi ya every one! (^_^)

Oh there's lots a rivers about tha' place.

More'n enough ta get lost swimmin' about in.

:P

*Looks closer*

Ooooo, I see. I went left up there *points* when I should'a gone ta' completly other way.

(^_^)

Oops! Aye, sorry 'bout that.

No worries. :)

"There's...what looks like a giant serpent in the trees above...an odd bulge in the middle..."

*Looks at Chauncy*

"We's got'a get ye an'a diet Luv. People's is beginin' ta' talk..."

*Pats Chauncy reassuringly*

*Waggles tongue affectionatly*

Sorry Mates. Couldn't resist. XD

LOL, poor Chauncy.

I don't think I can do justice to botting Naught, so I leave her response to your imaginations. Probably something witty and/or humorous. Percival is her black Friesian horse.

So. I've noticed we seem to be missing a couple of additional players besides Naught. We'll continue this conversation should one or both not return. But, for now, I'll give them about another month. I do hope they return though. More importantly, I hope they're both well.

"Is she, like... wearing clothes?!" Her jaw drops, and her hand immediately covers her mouth, giggling at such a naughty lady.

Here! I in't nekkid all'a time....

Uhm....

*Pats tanned self*

Wis Check:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

Uhmmm.... I got's it all packed away... fer travelin', like.

(>_>)

(<_<)

Yeah, fer traver-lin'. So's things dun't get all snaggled in'a branches an' stuffs.

XD

LOL. Good point! :D

Granted it's hard even with darkvision to see exactly what you're wearing (or not wearing) up in the thick branches of tall pines. But weapons don't count as clothing, I'm afraid. ;D

Kidding. I know you have something on... we'll let you describe your appearance formally, once actual character introductions are made. :)

(^_^)

Dang! The hour time out got me before I could finish editing the rest. Ah well, the ideas are writing themselves pretty much as I'm typing them any who.

(^_^)
