Yeah, kill it, Inquisipants! Less talk, more killykilly!
I was on my fifteen at work when I posted, cut me some slack. :P
Will get something up shortly after I get some food. All I can say is that a day with several inches of snow is not a good day for both of the scheduled inside crew to call in sick when you run a pizza delivery place.
I would think not, Ensu.
/totally here the whole time
Oooooh, what kind of pizza? The number one thing I miss about Jersey is the NY-style pizza places.
I would think not, Ensu.

Ah, obviously I should not be suspicious of strange thread-stalker lady.
Zedda the Crass is a 100% trustworthy name.
Wait, how are all my players online and posting and yet nobody is doing anything?
Trying to get some food in my belly so that I can think straight before posting in game; I've found that tends to help make the in game posts make a lot more sense.
I acted. Doran is waiting for the others to move on before he follows!
Chop, chop! Time is money! And money is time! And a penny saved is a penny earned... so it is good to save time?
I'm waiting for the others to weigh in on the situation before boldly leading everyone in a direction that is very likely to get me killed.
Other than Ensu (who has a valid excuse) it sounds like everyone is waiting on everyone else.
I wanna be a monster and break the deadlock with my dread holla!
Alright, alright, I'll get us marching towards my inevitable death/transformation into a horrible monster.
That's the spirit!
Better to be a varghouille than a varghouwon't!

What did you just call my grandmother?!
As far as you're concerned, it is a meat dish from Ustalav.
If you guys watch the map you can see it update dynamically.
It's like a video game!
Speaking of observing the map, I can tell where we are, but I can't tell where we have come from. I was under the impression that we cam in through a side passage off the tunnel the Goblins used to sneak into Sandpoint. I don't see the tunnel. At least I don't recognize it as the tunnel.
You started in the bottom left corner.
I put a comment and everything. =(
Sorry, I don't recall the comment regarding where we began in the map. I'm not saying you didn't I'm just saying I don't recall it. Looking at the Map, is the chamber with the @ the intersection where we encountered the icky thing, or was that encounter somewhere in the ocher-colored area, or is that meant to indicate part of the Glassworks?
Gah! I sleep for 8 hours and come back to 21 discussion posts and 9 in-game posts?!
How is that allowed? And who's our lurker? Oh, it's you! Hello, you. Welcome to our craziness, and how go the Varisian Adventures?
The @s should have comments on them in the map.
Can you not see them?
The icky creature with the halberd was in the hallway outside the room that changes from ochre to grey.
So the ocher-colored area is where we entered this complex. Yes, I read to comments attached to the @. I read the comments attached to all the items, sorry I didn't clarify.
So what you are saying is we are no longer checking the tunnel, we have gone off on a side tangent?
Well you came down to confirm that these tunnels are how the goblins got into the city previously. The tunnels ended when they reached this complex.
Ysme hasn't found any proof that the goblins came through here but nobody else has really tried.
I thought you said this was a branch of the tunnel. Not that this was the tunnel.
I forgot to mention that the tunnel ended a few feet ahead of the spot you guys deviated from.
On the right (east) side the tunnel opens up into a larger chamber.
Straight ahead (north) the tunnel smooths further still but also narrows to only five feet across.
That is what I remember, not that it closes off completely. 5' wide is plenty wide for a Goblin.
Yeah, I didn't bother putting it on the map but that path eventually terminates completely.
Then so far as we are aware, there is another path that we are currently ignoring in favor of traipsing through a dungeon.
Hrm. So... I don't know if I've waited too long to say this, but here it is.
Intraparty conflict can be great RP and really help us all develop our characters. With that said, though, I think we need to be careful that it doesn't get out of hand (and out of character).
I doubt this game is going to be fun for anyone if we split into warring factions and aren't willing to be at all flexible with our characters' attitudes. With that said, are we willing to discuss issues, compromises, and possible solutions in this thread to make sure we're all still friends at the end of this, and don't start thinking the others are bad role- (or team) players?
I'm 100% okay with people wanting to go solo for a scene or two (it's part of my support of heroics/stupidity). I don't mind scaling things back if people aren't present for whatever reason.
It happens all the time in fiction - characters wander off and fume only to deal with some sort of trial that's appropriately scaled for them (and only them) that ends up granting them the personal epiphany they needed.
Definitely... I just don't want it* to turn into something where the group isn't okay with each other as players.
* the conflict, not this situation specifically
Jeebus, give me a second here mate
After the 'addled your wits' comment I figured it was time to bring the tension to a head and deal with it so we all could move on as a unit. I've always been of the philosophy that the best way to deal with in-character drama is in-character as opposed to trying to force an inorganic solution on the players. If a solution really can't be reached, or someone does not see something as a problem then one person frankly is not going to be a team player.
Also if this was a tv show, it would be like... the second or third episode of it, AKA time for a bit of drama and character development.
That is a good point & I have to further acknowledge that I have a number of RW events currently ratcheting up my tension level. Which has consequently affected my interpretation of in-game statements & actions.
You guys have been BUSY while I was at work, damn!
That'll teach you to be busy while I'm asleep.
Whatever, shortstuff.
I'm still wondering when Pirknok is going to figure out Doran is Cheliaxian, so we can have a good ol' fashioned cross counter fist fight, before becoming total bros.
At least, that's how it goes in my chinese cartoons.
:D I, too, await that day with eager anticipation.
It's going to come out eventually. I wrote something of a dissertation on the possibilities, in fact...
<3
I waited like three whole weeks before I cracked. You should be proud of me.
Ehehehe. Only three weeks?
I still haven't read what Eli thinks of Pirknok... but boy, has it been tempting!
Hah.
Oh, wait... would that be sexy?
Shh, not all of us read spoilers that aren't for us!
Degus are adorable.
