I have not read that far in the conversion. ;)

Malthir Al Dagon |

Alex, looks like other than a couple of pick up items from the party treasure and buying the items I listed no one is really buying anything so we are ready to advance.
I know you have no internet so we will hold tight, was going to just ask you about what you thought the next steps are.

Malthir Al Dagon |

I'll need to know where your actually headed in order to update.
Edit: TROLL HUUUUUNT is not a permittable answer... Specific please.
We should start by going west from Swordhaven and do a systematic search for the troll den so we don't miss it. This means mapping these hexes as well. Hex west of A46 and continue west before going south a hex then back east toward the explored hex of A53 and continue in that pattern.
Thanks!
Kip Bendybrook |

Is the exploration map completely up to date? Where were Beldame's hut, the mud bowl and the lizardman lair on the map?

Totally wrecks the broken strategy of cutting up and eating the trolls and letting the stomache acid take care of things..

A53 was the LADY beldame's hut :) we didn't search out that hex I believe but I thought it was the one to the SW of that.

Kip Bendybrook |

Is it the 12th yet?!?
*paces back and forth in thread, like a caged animal*
;)

Malthir Al Dagon |

I think I will go ahead and post the suggestion for next month Kingdom building turn. Tha way when we get to it we are ready to go.
Will also post the following month. We are in a re-building phase so it is really straight forward so unless another major event occurs they should be good.
This will also give us something to do while Alex is on his way to the Ukraine.

Kip Bendybrook |

Kip is thoroughly startled by the sound of Malthir's voice. After taking a moment to compose himself, and to digest Malthir's suggestion, Kip responds in a distracted manner, Yes. Very good. Something to keep our minds busy... before resuming his pacing.
Please let me know how I can be of assistance.
;)

Malthir Al Dagon |

Kip abruptly stops his pacing. He stares into space as if something has gotten his attention. I sense a disturbance in the force... he says in a hushed tone.
A powerful entity approaches...
Moments later Kip eye's flash in recognition. He returns to us at last! Kip exclaims in exultation. A broad smile spreads across Kip's face.
Welcome back AK! :) I hope things went well with your move!

DM Alexander Kilcoyne |

Lol, thanks Kip :)
The move was difficult, the plane journey hellish and setting up the Internet took much longer than expected. I'm working through my focused threads in the order of appearance on my screen, seems the fairest way. Can't guarantee i'll have a post for KM up tonight but I can guarantee it will be there tomorrow.

Kip Bendybrook |

Sounds like a typical move, let alone one across a continent to another country! :)
As for the rest, it all sounds good. No worries, take your time... you know I like to tease... which works out conveniently with my character in this PBP. ;)
So what you are saying, though, is that I should have posted something in the main thread to bump it up the list? ;)
Cheers

Kip Bendybrook |

I guess Kip shouldn't attempt diplomacy. :(
Somewhat related... I haven't seen anyone on IM in a while... everyone still using? :)

DM Alexander Kilcoyne |

On MSN right now, wasn't on as I didn't have internet for a while.
I'm now GMT+2 of course.
Also: I'd rather anyone who wants to have input socially, can. We're telling a story here and botching a diplomacy roll can be as entertaining as making one.
Edit: Somethings wrong with your MSN I think...

Rebooted Trillian... I can see everyone now... will test further.
EDIT: Seems to have fixed the issue. :)

Kip Bendybrook |

Hmmmm... I am able to chat with Malthir... and send you messages but I get no responses from you Alex.
Something is still wonky.

Kip Bendybrook |

Drop shield and flail as a free action, draw a set of manicles as a move action and ready a standard action to grapple the creature should it get into threat range.
Just for future reference, dropping/removing an equipped shield is a move equivalent action. Not a free action. If the shield was merely being held, and not being worn/used (ie granting a shield bonus to AC), then of course it could be dropped as a free action.

Kip Bendybrook |

Yes. I would/should have pointed out that dropping the flail and grabbing the manacles while leaving the shield equipped has the same mechanical effect upon grapple attempts. :)

Kip Bendybrook |

LOL! Now do the ones that are still a threat! :)

Kip Bendybrook |

Wait! What? You're a double agent too?! I thought I was the only one! Small world... :)

Kip Bendybrook |

Malthir chomps on the popcorn...waits eagerly to try out liberator on some of those evil fey the Nixie was talking about...and "free" them from their life here in the Stolen land...
Kip avoids Malthir's gaze as he stares at the floor whistling a tune while moving a pebble about the floor with his big toe... ;)

Kip Bendybrook |

If it isn't obvious, I am enjoying the interplay. :)
Keep it up I say! *tips hat*

Kip Bendybrook |

Am I really the only one with a comment?! :)

Malthir Al Dagon |

It does add some fuel to the fire for some interesting RP...although I have to admit that his chances of convincing Malthir to support his order's cause grow slimmer with each time his mouth cracks open :)

Fenna Thistleswade |

I can see Fenna and Ricter getting along quite well, his lawful outlook isn't going to be a problem with her... if anything, he seems a little too impulsive from her point of view.
I'm really enjoying Ricter and the interplay between him and Kip in particular, but me and James always agreed if it really doesn't work out he can roll up a different character. Fenna, Kalev and Casimir's silence worries me a little (on this OOC thread).
Sorry, I keep forgetting to check this one.

Kip Bendybrook |

...but me and James always agreed if it really doesn't work out he can roll up a different character.
Like a weekly "special guest star"? :)

Kip Bendybrook |

Congrats on the new job Jace! I don't know anything more than that but... there you go! :)

Casimir |

Congrats on the new job Jace! I don't know anything more than that but... there you go! :)
Thanks. It's been a nerve-wracking round of interviews this past week, but I'm pretty sure it will be great. Its a position as a communications worker at a local school that trains social and health care workers. A lot closer to home, better pay and pension.

Kip Bendybrook |

That is awesome! Hope it all works out!

I was just thinking... (I know, I know, not very often... but I try it once in a while) ...that ever since I left the peanut gallery and joined as a PC, the gallery is much quieter. (oh... right...) :)
Anybody still lurking out there? Feel free to comment on things like the dynamic of Ricter and the rest of the Guradians etc. We are a lurker friendly OOC after all! :)
Cheers
