DM Bloodgargler's Kingmaker - Stolen Lands

Game Master karlprosek

I will be on a family vacation until Friday. I should still be able to post, but will likely be late in the evening and only once per day.

Sorry ... update in the morning. Busy and heat is killing me at work.

Any other preparations before advancing on the fort?

I'm good. Just need a decision from Marisol and Durielle about armor.

I'd prefer to be armored and armed, but I'm waiting to see if Durielle has a "revelation."

I'm trying to take this slow... not sure how long you intend to keep up the ruse.
If you intend to get pass the gates while still bluffing as bandits, you'll need to dismount.

I'll wait to see if Marisol has anything to say before doing anything else, since she was directly addressed.

Vladimir.. you mentioned striding toward Ayles, but I haven't moved you on the map... (tight space and all.. every 5' counts if a fight breaks out. I didn't want to make that call.) If there is a square you'd like to move to lemme know.

Anyone else who'd like to casually move to a more advantageous position, or dismount.. please let me know.

(G,15) if possible.

I intend to wait until Ox is at (H,14) or preferably (I, 14) before starting the fight.

I'm waiting to see if Marisol, Hrafen, and Durielle have anything to say or do before I try and stab Ayles. ;)

Eek!

Is this really it? So no way to get in the door first, eh? Well, let the dice fall where they lie!

I'm open to suggestions, but the map seems to look that way.

The second crate is still in the cart, so there is a little time and/or opportunity if you want to try to reposition or something.

Sadly the map never opens while I'm at work. I think the web filter hates photobucket or something. I'll have to check later.

Next 6 seconds...
Hunter nearest gate moving 5' to grab a bottle from crate, and then turning back toward fire. E,11
Bandit nearest Balter moving toward campfire to join in drinking. D,12
Ayles staying put, and adjusting his lean to be able to get a good look at Marisol when she hands the crate to Ox.
Blonde breastplate Akiros is at K,14.

A possible triple crit! Holy cow! Good job guys. :D

EDIT: Er, I meant double. Looking at Balter's flow, I though I saw a twenty in there, but it wasn't after. But still good anyway!

To be clear, Marisol, there is nothing like a crest or anything that would clue you in on who something may have belonged to.
The bow and helm are distinctive... most likely to have a "history".

Ok - and really that's more likely to be up Vlad's alley, with his bard skills!

.....

.....sorry...

I just couldn't help myself. XP

I'm out of town until tomorrow night ... Wifi workable but forgot PDF. I'd rather wait than wing it...

Sounds good to me.

I'm sure we can keep making inappropriate comments to each other in the meantime. ;)

Inappropriate... OR THE MOST APPROPRIATE?!?

I'd forgotten I downloaded the lite version on my tablet some time ago.. Game on.

I've been meaning to ask... what image hosts work best for everyone? I think Photobucket is getting worse with pop-ups and ads.

I'm a huge fan of Roll20, but it does cost...Since I don't know where else people host from, I have no other input, sadly.

Yeah, I've been noticing the ads. I use Google Drive myself.

I usually use Roll20. I've never had to pay so I don't know about cost...

I have seen some DMs use shared Google slides.

I use all the toys, so Roll20 has a cost for me... ;-)

Roll20 is what I have been using lately. That being said google docs works well too.

Well, for what it is worth, Google Docs is what I tend to use when I GM PbP games.

Going dark...Labor Day weekend plus friend in town. See you all on the other side!

Sorry, rough week.
The hill you are referring to is the one with the cages.. where you stopped to get the pass phrase, correct?

I believe that is the case.

I figured we'd go back down the front road to the base of the hill. Digging holes on a sloped hillside is for chumps.

I missed Vlad's point in gameplay, but a loot list of some sort would definitely help. We've gotten a good deal of stuff since the start, though I guess that not all of it necessarily stands out.

I should have some free time this evening. I scan through the thread and put a list of what we have picked since the game resumed in this incarnation.

Cool.

I'll give Hrafen time to reply.. or any other wrapping up, and move on to morning tomorrow.

Here's the Loot List based on what was listed in the posts since the game resumed.

There are a few things yet to be IDed and a few appraise checks need to be made.

We also need to claim/gather the gear from all of the other bandit's bodies (ones like Akiros in particular)

I can't access that - you need to change the security settings ;-)

Give it a try now.

That works :-)

Perfect.

@DM Bloodgargler: Would you mind putting a link to the loot list on the campaign tab?

Appraise #1 (Line 32 of Loot List): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Appraise #2 (Line 32 of Loot List): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
Appraise #3 (Line 32 of Loot List): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Appraise #4 (Line 32 of Loot List): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

@DM BG: I think for the most part we are ready to move along when you are.

alright... sentry?

Balter, you want it or should I?

I think you should since you have ranks in Bluff. At best, Balter could stand around and grunt. :P

Works for me.

okie doke.. I'll post after work tomorrow.. about 16 hours from now.

DM Bloodgargler: I accidentally selected my Adara avatar on my last post. Would you mind marking her as inactive or not a player or whatever for this campaign, please?
