Ah hell, if you were waiting on me guys I’m sorry. Someone I missed this pbp thread. Putting up an action now.
Way better than taking 10
Yep. :)
Afternoon Guys,
Well I just got back from a deployment and I am exhausted. I won't be posting much for a day or two while I take the chance to spend some time with my wife. Expect a post in 48 hours or so.

Woo! Summer is here! *basks in the warmth*
Ugh, not where I am at, but I'm happy for you!
Hey guys! I'm going out of town this weekend and won't be near a computer until Monday. Have a great Memorial Day Weekend and I'll post when I get back.
Same here. NPC me as needed. :)
Good evening all! I am back from my spring skiing trip and I will work up a post soonish.
Well I was going to post, but it looks like I would be acting out of initative order. I'm here and watchin the thread though.
Same here.
Good Evening Guys,
Just want to let everyone know that I am going to visit my wife’s in-laws in Houston for the next ten days. Because of this I expect that my posting will be restricted but I will do my best to check in every few days via phone and tablet. I appreciate all of your understanding and assistance while I am away from my home computer.

I'm really enjoying this game so far. Llaen works exactly like I hoped he would.
I've noticed that this game seems to run in spurts though, with lots of activity and then a few days lull. I was curious why that is. Irregular work schedules?
My fault really. I keep swearing I'd post every 2-3 days, but life keeps interrupting and soaking up whatever free time I have to work the game.
That, and Skyrim.
So does that mean that I think the boats have bottomed out? Is there land nearby?
Checking in.
Do I recognize any of the combatants as anyone I've seen on the ship I've been stuck on?
@Me'mori: I'll get up a reply post either tonight or tomorrow morning. BTW, best of luck on VoV's Wrath of the Righteous. It was a very good application.
I do not envy Voice's task in whittling down that group of applicants.
@Me'mori: --BTW, best of luck on VoV's Wrath of the Righteous. It was a very good application.
Coming from the one whose entry was the first that everyone generally agreed, "welp, they certainly got in!" (save for the DM), that is high praise indeed! Thank you very much. I just want to be able to cause the same sort of response that yours do when they get posted.
I appreciate the compliment. I hope that I get selected, but we will see. Me and Barcas have been trying to get into a game together for a while. I DM two games that he is in and he DM's two games I am in. It would be fun to be in one together as players. I think you have a really good shot at it. There are only a couple of people that apply as rogues / ninajs and yours was the strongest application. The writing sample was very good too.
I'm wondering, do you want to play up Kharn / Nakota's romantic interest a little bit on the island? It seems as if you are making some gestures in that regard and I wanted to be sure we are on the same page.
Easily. She's taken the Elders' words to heart, so she's giving him a chance. I wouldn't call it a "Romantic Interest" as I would a "Exploratory Willingness". He's fought with her, so that's one hurdle gone. Modesty is Shoanti modesty (re: I haven't a clue), so I'm playing it normally.
Me'mori,
Shame neither one of us got in. My final list for the group was:
So, DM, would you rule that I could use create water to make salt water?
Sorry Kharn, Create Water just makes clean drinkable freshwater. You would have to research the spell to Create Saltwater.
Llaen, are you still thigh deep in the surf? The Tavern is about forty yards from the harbor water.
Yeah, Llaen is still out in the water, but going inside a structure full of other people might be about the same as far as safety goes.
OK guys, I've got hints you want to travel on, but you have to tell me if you're going immediately (it's right before noon in game right now) or delaying till later (like after nightfall).
Either works for me. I'm a fish out of water right now, so I'm going to follow others' lead.
How long would it take to get to the watchtower? We have a few good hours before we would lose light, best to take the opportunity while we can.
Witchlight is only about a mile away in a straight line. But reaching Witchlight requires a difficult slog up a steep, overgrown switchback trail that winds up the mountainous island, or an even more difficult slog up straight up the steep slope through dense underbrush.
Witchlight itself is located atop the island’s highest plateau.
The town was deliberately sited so as to provide a peerless view of the Varisian Gulf. On particularly clear days, the distant haze of Riddleport can be seen to the northeast.
From what you can see you estimate 3-4 hours to make the trip either way.
Great post Nakoda! I'll put in a reply tomorrow!
OK, it seems to me like the party in general is inclined to hike up the switchback to the town of Witchlight and the tower that's flashing lights.
I will move forward with that in mind unless you say otherwise.
Terribly sorry, this game was not updating for me. I'm back in town and I will make a post in the morning.
Been really sick. Catching up now.
*nudge?*
How tall is the tower? Do they have bows or crossbows up there?
The tower is fifty feet tall. You have no idea if it has weapons or not until you get up there.
Sounds like a good thing to check.
But who will? I would think the mages that we just healed would?
So, what's the plan?
Hold the line against the tide of terrible anemone-lions and try not to die?
Pretty much, throw everything at them until they die or breach, if breach fall back up the defensible staircase, use resources in a battle of attrition all the way to the top.
Sounds like my kind of plan!
Sounds good!
I think we should start in the first floor staircase just so we don't get caught in a flood. Llaen's caught between his survival instincts and desire to guard the pretty lady.
Engineering a flood would be nice. We just don't have time to see whether or not they have casks of salt.
I was under the assumption that the only way to get in from the first floor is through the metal door. If that is the case, better to stop them at the door for as long as possible, retreating to the stairs only when necessary.
Unless they can climb and come in through other areas of the tower.
I was under the impression that this place wasn't in the best condition.
