DM Brainiac's Ironfang Invasion: Table 2 (Inactive)

Game Master Brainiac

That might actually be the answer... I think we need a GM ruling here...

Brainiac? What are my options for communicating while in animal form, i.e. most of the time...?

You can speak through Felix's cat. :)

How do you talk as a cat?
Mrow hisssssss, meow *Adorable kitty eyes*

Six foot long sabre-tooth doing kitty eyes... oh dear.

Surma and Griffo are up!

And Felix's response is exactly what I'm going for! Very serious stuff, but he can't help being comic, although not deliberately! :)

Question: what's Álainn's gender? I've been trying very hard not to use gendered pronouns so I'm curious what people think!

'Fantastic'? I assume Alainn has read all of Derrida's and Foucault's works and is now past the notion of gender ;)

If I had to guess, given that plants are both male and female gender could be used interchangeably or you could choose one that Álainn identifies with more and just use it. I've been trying to see if there is a prnoun that really applies and there technically isn't but the Miriam Webster Dictionary now allows the use of they/them as a singular and plural pronoun so that could be acceptable as well.

Sorry I haven't posted anything in awhile, but has anyone heard from Griffo? He hasn't posted in the other game we're in in over a month.

He's been silent for some time. At this point, I'm going to assume he's inactive and proceed with just the four of you. He's welcome to rejoin the game if and when he returns.

*nods*

That blows :<

Waiting on you guys to respond to Vardalel.

Sorry for disappearing. I'm just having a hard time getting back to doing online stuff with all of the other things going on with work and my kids' schools. I'm afraid I have to officially drop out.

It happens, Griffo. No worries. It was fun gaming with you! Good luck in your future endeavors!

Waiting on Felix or Surma to react to spotting the figure...

Sorry, I've been out of it lately.

Do we want to find a rep for Griffo or proceed as is? I can imagine that all of these setbacks must bite real hard as a GM :(

We can proceed as is for now. Felix seems to be a competent healer. If it seems like you guys need more help later, we can recruit a 5th player.

We also recruited two instead of one because we kind of saw this coming anyway.

I have family in town this weekend, so I might not be able to post much until Monday morning.

I'm still catching up from the weekend. I likely won't have time to get a post up until tomorrow morning.

Need actions from Eilyne and Surma.

Update pending Surma's actions.

Loot and sell value:
-oils of magic weapon (x2)(25gp each)
-potions of cure moderate wounds (x2)(150gp each)
-alchemists' fire (x8)(20gp each)
-mwk chain shirts (x3)(125gp each)
-mwk longbows (x3)(187.5gp each)
-mwk longswords (x3)(157.5gp each)
-mwk sickles (x2)(153gp each)
-a +1 hide armor (1082.5gp)
-a cloak of resistance +1 (500gp)
-84 gold pieces

(total value = 3892 gold and 5 silver)

I say we distribute the CMW potions to the frontliners, give everyone a two flasks of alchemist' fire and hold on to the oils of magic weapon. Does anyone need either the cloak or the hide armor?

It'd be better if someone else held onto my potion for me. If I hold it it'll merge when I change form and I'd have to unmerge again before I could get to it. If you guys have it then I can just drink it! :)

Do you want to do anything else tonight, or should we move on to the next day?

Move on I think! Alainn is happy to sleep and therefore heal!

Ball's in your court, players.

Sorry I took so long to reply, I really lost track that we were being waited on.

It seems this game is in danger of falling apart again. With players going weeks or months between posts, it isn't a very sustainable model for engagement. If people are still invested in the game, I will continue, but things have been dragging for almost a year now at the moment it doesn't seem like there is much enthusiasm.

I was having similar thoughts - it looks like this has been a great game and I'm very glad I was invited to join, but past tense does seem the most appropriate way of referring to it now.

I'd happily play again from the beginning though! :D

I’m sorry for my disappearance, I don’t really know what to say or how to explain it, I just haven’t been able to make myself post. Something unclicked in my head.

Sorry for messing up the game.

It wasn't your fault, Surma, nor any one person's. Sometimes things just don't work out. There are no hard feelings. :)

*hugs*

I'm going to go ahead and mark this game as inactive. See you all in other games or around the boards. :)

See you around hopefully, sorry again for this.

I was out of town most of the weekend and couldn't respond easily. While I'd love to continue I agree, it seems to have reached it's end. Good playing with you all!
