Sorry to hear that -- I hope everything goes well for her.
Sorry to hear that! Take whatever time you need, and I hope it goes as well as it can.
I also just want to give a heads up about my own posting. I've been adjusting to a new temp job this last week, so I've been a bit neglectful of my PbPs. Your backgrounds look good, and I'm working on fleshing out some campaign stuff (or at least some opening stuff for you all to jump into). I'll have a proper first gameplay post up when I can!
Post in all games :
Wife's surgery got moved back a day (scheduling issues in OR). Surgery was completed last night, went smoothly, doctor very pleased with himself. :) Wife awake and says even with the pain from the surgery it's a night and day difference in how she felt before, so good news on that front. I'm afraid I'll be busy again today, but hopefully will be able to get all games caught up and going again by end of week.
That's great news!
In game-related news, I know I've been pretty silent, but I'm planning to get the ball rolling this weekend.
Quick question: I know Krila is a frequenter of the adventurer-friendly Sargava Club, but what about Renemala/Speeedy and Nyroba?
Can you give us more information about this club? It sounds like it might be the kind of place Nyroba might go to try to make contacts for the underground.
Sure thing! Here's the info straight from my source book on Eleder.
The Sargava Club:
Set back from the Portside docks in a narrow alley facing the harbor is a two-story mud-brick building covered in plain whitewash. Upon its front door hangs a carved wooden sign that reads “The Sargava Club.” The bottom floor is split between a shop and a tavern, while the top floor serves as an inn. The Sargava Club is owned by a feisty and outspoken half-orc named Briga. Originally a sellsword from the Varisian highlands, she came south as part of an expedition to explore the southern jungles. Subsequently, she fell in love with the region, purchased an old warehouse in Portside, and set up shop. Since opening, she has faced her share of discrimination, not the least of which has come from Lady Madrona Daugustana. The matriarch of Eleder has levied both fines and threats against her, but Briga remains unyielding in the face of her prejudice. The Sargava Club is one of the few places inside the wall where prejudice is not tolerated, and Briga demands that all who enter her establishment treat each other as equals.
The bulk of the ground floor is dedicated to a small but well-stocked pawnshop specializing in adventuring equipment, information, maps, and magical items. Those serious about launching expeditions may also use the club to contact and hire native guides. A modest tavern occupies the remainder of the ground f loor. It serves reasonably priced local fare—mostly fish—along with beer and a sickly sweet but potent Zenj liquor distilled from pineapple and sugarcane called mupute.
Yeah that sounds like her kinda place. Equality is her thing, after all, and having a connection to Avistan makes her feel less like an outsider. She admires Briga greatly for her opposition to discrimination, and thinks she could be an asset for the underground if she could be recruited. (This is naive of her, since Briga's already under a lot of scrutiny, and wouldn't be able to do a lot without drawing unwanted attention, of course.)
Anyway, she's there a lot, and she met her last girlfriend, with whom she broke up a few weeks ago, there.
First:
Glad to hear your wife's surgery went well. As someone who's had a "surgery to clean up pain/complications from earlier surgery" I can relate -- it can also definitely make the recovery seem like a walk in the park in comparison. I hope that ends up being her experience.
Character connections: Not sure how the Eledar Militia interfaces with the Sargavan guard, but there could definitely be a connection there. It would make sense for Renemala to have been part of a specialized escort company, or loaned out occasionally. She has guide experience after all (either gained there or from going with her father as he searched for ingredients).
Sargava Club: Not really her kind of place, but I'm sure she goes there occasionally. Although mostly a homebody, I figure she goes out somewhere every week or two, just to keep her ear to the ground. She also really wants to set herself as a family patron (in part because she figures she'll never have a family of her own) so she could very easily be there with a sibling/cousin/niece/nephew that she is evaluating and who does frequent the Club.
So, any idea when we might get going?
Same question. Just a heads up that I'm still around, too.
Hey all, sorry about this, but I don't think I'll be able to run this. I need to get some life stuff under control, and I might be able to come back to this sometime, but for now I'll deactivate it indefinitely.
I'll leave this up for a little so you all can see it. Sorry again. :(
No problem, life comes first.
No worries. Good luck with everything!
