Coins of Power - Table 2 (Inactive)

Game Master Edward Sobel

Brief and consilidated timeline.

Kragor NeMoren and his 5 brothers came to this island. (about 200 years ago)

they established a treaty with the Lizardman tribes native to the island and founded the village of Weston.

wanted to make a pirate port (as described in the will)

they were very successful and used thier wealth to build a vault.

the vault was sealed with 6 locks and each of the brothers had a key to a lock.

the keys were handed down within the family from father to son for several generations. at times there was noone to hand the key down to (piracy does sometimes cut one's life short) In these cases another family member took possession of that key.

each generation added to the vault in the form of a treasure, or another device to protect it.

eventually only Peytro NeMoren was left. he held all 6 keys. but he started to squander the wealth, and he had no heirs to give the keys to.

He decided to wed a lovely girl local to the Shackles by the name of Amellia. on the eve after the wedding, Amellia disappeared. (start of the curse (about 10-12 years ago))

the next day after Amellia vanished, a woman and her two brothers arrived at the manor, they never left. Peytro NeMoren dissmissed nearly all of his servents.

6 of his most trusted servents were each given a key.

these are the keys the party has now, after changing hands several times over the past 10-12 years.

Peytro NeMoren locked himself away in the manor until he died 3 years ago.

I hope this helps clarify some things.

please ask any questions in the gameplay thread.

Hmmmm. Technically Devana hasn't heard anything about a woman named Amellia before.

I know Devana, I wated to get everyone on the same page. This is information that you all can easily obtain just by being even remotely curious and assuming you all talk to each other.

I was just trying to move things along without the long tedious process of wiating for people to role play the questioning.

Hey guys sorry I was without internet for a couple of days, i forgot to notify you guys. My bad,should i just catch myself up?

yeah go ahead not much to catch up on

Going to be moving ahead tonigjt. Seems you guys dont want to explore the doors you bypassed then?

I was under the assumption that we could explore them later, but perhaps we should reconsider our blundering-straight-ahead strategy.

Personally I just wanted to have on overview over the layout of the vault first. Of course I intent to loot everything; this is what we inherited after all.

i don't care either way, but I am not adjusting the inhabitants as they are encountered.

No posts since Thursday. Who is still listening?

I am listening... but Theod and Fingers need to make their move at the moment.

I will bot them tonight then we can decide to continue or replace.

sorry all, I would like to start picking up the pace here some. but I hate waiting on others (well unless they have real life problems then that is understandable)

Okay, I'm just glad the adventure is still alive.

sent PM's out to both

Watching with a ...watchful? eye.

Got a malware infection...currently doing a full system scan

All data is on that hard drive

knock ... knock

I have PM'd fingers and Theod.

Fingers has been around in other games so I will be assuming he has dropped.

Thanks for the update.

moving along this weekend (starting tonight)..gonna try and start to pick up the pace.

My life is still quite the mess, but I want to keep this going.

removing Fingers. any thoughts on recruitment.

Another skill monkey would be preferable, but I'm okay with anything. Dealing with a lack of a particular skill just makes the challenge harder.

hey all roll call time and still please weigh in about recruiting or not.

Present, and my opinion has been stated.

Present. Grab one if you want.

I am here. I'll need to have a look and will give feedback later today.

Oh, I thought you already have potential recruits. Well, I am fine with recruiting more.

no I did not recuit becuase I wanted to be sure everyone is alright with that

also a chance to have Theod return, otherwise I will be rcuiting two people.

present and fine with that.

guys all take a look in recruitment we have an applicant seeking to join you...thoughts?

No backstory, but the crunch looks fine to me.

I like the witch best, but we need a trap spotter, so I'll have to go with the Investigator.

I read through the backgrounds and I seriously don't know. They all appear alright to me.

With Dremoran I find it a bit strange that he starts with his resentment of the unknown which gets a little lost thereafter. Picking locks in his parants place etc. sound more like youthful disobedience and I think the background is a bit few as an explanation how we became inquisitor.

Valeriya mentions that she has a step-sibling isn't being mentioned aftertwards and the whole involvement of the thieves guild seems a bit strange to me. However, I like this one.

Bazan's more simple and straightforward than Valeriya's but it seems conclusive and sound to me.

.... I just notice that Valeriya withdrew her character since she's not melee. Puh. I'd say Bazan then, but any character is fine.

also I am out and about today...I have Sheryl Crow concert tonight so will not be available. I will mull over the choices and consider your guys opinions and give a choice. once that is done we can continue.

I may just pick up with you guys beating the zombies and go from there.

Dremoran is an investigator, not an inquisitor thus why it's not explained, just fyi.

Also I'm not seeing how you're finding a disconnect between his resentment of the unknown and the rest of the story. I tried to show Dremoran as a very curious young boy who was always looking to learn as much as he could. I'm not sure how that theme can be lost in his story?

Did we ever make a final choice? We seem to be on hold in the gameplay thread.

For the record, I'm happy with any of the submissions, but my preference is (in order): Bazan, Dremoran, Valeriya.

I have been meaning to get on with the game.

I have been really stressed out the past couple of weeks.

I put my wife in a psychiatric hospital this past week after being in an alcohol rehab.

she has lost about 25 pounds within the past 3-4 weeks. and is currently about 11 pounds underweight.

she is on the verge of malnutrition and its all because she constantly thinks she is "fat"

so I am sorry for the delay, its just that at time i keep loosing focus.

I will get a post in the discussion that I need to go on hiatus for a couple more days please accept my apologies.

@DMC I know I shouldn't really be reading this thread yet, but as someone hoping to be the party's spy/scout/info gatherer, I have been keeping an eye on this thread anyway.
From myself, I hope they can help her. No need to apologise you clearly have more important things to worry about. That must be really hard to tell anyone even complete strangers, so thanks for the update and I hope she gets better soon.

bazan reading is ok.

again I owe apologies all around and would like to let bazan in the game

if there still are players to play.

I am finally getting my life mostly in order

I am fast forward to the end of the combat.

bazan will be with the group. And you have your key and you have all the knowledge everyone else does.

everyone will get 500 xp

i realize I may have upset others for that I am sorry. so if you want to continue please post or PM me.

I am putting the battle summary in game=play

I'm still in.

Hey everyone, cheers for letting me join. I'm reading that as if I jump in as if I have always been there or is that wrong?

Correct

Welcome, Bazan.

What an impressive first roll! I hope that isn't a sign of things to come!

Still here.

This "Dungeon Grid" Thing is pretty cool. Looks unobstrusive, simple to use but looks better than Google Maps.

i will be using the dungeon grid thing for combat maps

also I will be off line quite a bit tonight. and most of tomorrow.

just be sure you know you guys are group 2.

group 1 has already been through this part so ... no spoilers

Alright, I added another action. I would very much like to see this game going on...

Going on holiday for 2 weeks from today, hopefully will have access to the internet, but it won't be every day. Bot me if needed.

I'm going to be unable to post for the next few days. Feel free to bot me as needed.

Two weeks since last gameplay post -- are we still playing?

Would like to be, but I have to say it doesn't look likely.
