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.


Your Humble Narrator

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!

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

They have a troll cleric who casts unlimited protection from acid from a minor artifact I gave them. Just to help balance vs 6 players, you know. Its totally in my conversion thread...

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.

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 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.

BTW, we can only build 1 farm each month at our size so I will need to adjust that in the final monthly numbers.

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!


Your Humble Narrator

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.

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? ;)

I guess Kip shouldn't attempt diplomacy. :(

Somewhat related... I haven't seen anyone on IM in a while... everyone still using? :)


Your Humble Narrator

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...

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.


Your Humble Narrator

Yup. Good for future reference but I didn't see it as a problem as you were already taking a penalty for not having two hands free anyway.

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. :)

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 :)


Your Humble Narrator

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).


HP: 49/60 AC: 22, T:13, FF:21, CMD:16. Fort:+5, Ref:+5, Will:+8(+7). Per:+14, Init:+0, AoO:+8

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.

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.

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! :)
