Fine by me. I assume we can watch in character?
In case we do it that way, I think I'll prefer the tiefling to the boar.
Hey, Ethaniel just letting you know I'm gonna take tandem trip as my 3rd level feat (longterm investment for my future wolf buddy.) So you might, consider it for yourself. Lets you roll 2x on your trip attempts and take the best one.
Argh! That sounds awesome, but I've got my feats planned through level 11. I might look again to see if I can fit it in. Thanks for the heads up.
Welcome
Just to be sure: Did I do something wrong or did you resolve the tiefling-boar-fight just to get the story moving a little more?
No Ascaria. I resolved it as it wasn't looking like a concerted effort of the party and I really didn't want this to slow things down too much. Sorry.
No offense taken then. I also like it when things are moving along. Good call. :-)
I have penned my response to Marcus so many times, only to have my modem chew it up and spit it back out. I think things have moved too far, now, so I'll just catch up and try to post properly again. Sorry for leaving you hanging, STR Ranger. :P
Seems I was a little quick with fast forwarding to the next morning. Sorry for that. :-)
Initiative: 1d20+4
"Where's Marcus when you need him?" he calls out to nobody in particular as he turns tail and bolts for the Goblin, glad at least that the mangy mutt got his meal.
Okay, so if I take a second level of fighter when I reach 7th level, I should be able to take Tandem Trip. I'll get the feat at the same time I get Improved Whip Mastery, which I will need before I actually threaten with a whip. I might be a little behind you and your wolf, Marcus, but I don't think I can afford to take it any earlier.
Thanks again for letting me know about your intent to take that feat. I think it will become a necessity for Ethaniel.
No worries.
Ha! Marcus's methods are ever enjoyable. I'm excited to see how this plays out.
I'm gonna need the weekend to catch up, at the very least. Let me know if 'm stalling things and I'll try to get a hasty post in.
Well, I'm hoping real life crowd control techniques work. We found in timor the best option was to remove leaders/loudmouths early before they talk up others. My section of 9 guys quelled a RIOT of over a 100 people and all it took was the threat of violence and handcuffing the right people.
Robbers apply the same thing naturally when, for example you knock out/shoot or do whatever to a guard ( the bloke most likely to give you trouble) right away. It cows the rest of the crowd. Same way 5 guys with stanly knives can control over 200 people on a plane.
I'm hoping the presence of multiple bouncers and kicking this blokes but will shut the crowd up (I'd give the reciept for the money to the bloke behind to also show the crowd good behavior is rewarded)
Or it could totally backfire and I'll be in a heap of trouble. This isn't the real world after all.We'll see.
Hey guys. I'll be on vacation for a week from tomorrow, probably without wifi. I'll be back on Sunday the 25th.
@Waife: Please autopilot Ascaria as needed and keep up the great work. I'm enjoying this so much.
Heads up that I'm going to be away until Sunday. Might be able to post once or twice, but not much more.
Nicely done, Marcus.
Have a good vacation, Ascaria!
Question: Can Ethaniel act as a spotter from the floor, or does he need to be in the rafters for that?
Happy Saint Patrick's Day, all!
Sorry all for the slow down. Will get back on it soon
Tippy has just, rightly or wrongly, identified Marcus as the leader of their little band, so he naturally seeks him out with this kind of info. Besides, he's tried doing something like this solo twice before and neither time worked out very well for him!
I don't mind at all, however there's been alot of time spent on Marcus, between the trip to the boneyard and the tiefling. Certainly I'll be there when the fighting starts but don't wanna hog the spotlight. Let DM say if you find me first (given we are all working the room) but Ethaniel or Isacarel would be just as good in this scenario.
Yeah, he'd have no problem going to either of them if he sees then first. Gotta get to those guys before they cash in their writs.
I don't think Marcus has been hogging the spotlight, I just think he seems to have the strongest convictions, and thus is driving the action moreso than the other characters. Regarldess of who the leader might be, I really like the party dynamic.
I honestly feel like I haven't spoken to Tippy IC for this entire game. He's a hard man to pin down. Also I've no qualms with the amount of spotlight time Marcus has been having. I'm kind of dissapointed in myself that I missed a chance to butt heads with him the evening before, but such is life.
Tippy is just a figment of your imagination. I'm not actually playing in this game. Tippy is like the psychologist guy from the Sixth Sense: he's not really there.
Spoiler!
:)
Hey! I'm back again. I hope the current lack of posting is just the calm before the storm. :-)
I'll be relatively quiet for the next few weeks. Big wave of assignments before the midsem break so I can't post at uni, and I'll be relinquishing my room as of tomorrow to overseas relatives, which is gonna make the former even more of a pain. >.>
Hope Iscarel's quiet spell isn't causing too much hassle. I'm leaving the gameplay thread untouched for now so I know where to catch up from. ^^
Works been killing me guys. Sooooo tired. I'm not bailing, believe that. I hope the motivation isn't being killed too hard.
All good
Totally understand. Truth be told, my schedule is wrecking me right now as well, so I don't mind the hiatus.
In any case, don't worry about the motivation. We'll still be here when things calm down.
Dot
role call!
Present!
Here!
Are we still on. Been real quiet for a while.
Still here. Hoping DM_Waife returns, but totally understanding the busy.
I'll wait another day and PM him.
I'm around. Been frequenting the boards less and less. I'm really bogged down with uni work at the moment and don't actually have any games running. That should change when my shiny new Skull and Shackles arrives!
Sent waife a pm.
Still no reply guys.
Wanna wait a bit more.
I know we can advertise for a new dm, but Waife was doing an awesome job. (Particularly with tje maps)
Shall we give him another week?
Sunday. Looking like we may have to find someone willing to take this over if he doesn't comeback.
We know he was really consistent and then got really busy. I'm hoping he'll give us some word soon.
That's why I'm waiting. I play in 9 PBP's now. Waife is actually the best in terms of Combat and Map usage and a good storyteller.
I'm hoping he returns....
I don't know if it'd be the same without Waife. I'm happy to wait as long as it takes, or move on if the poor fella can't run the game for us any longer.

Hey guys, my twins have been born so s$!!s been in the fan like full on. I am back home now and hopefully can start more frequent posting.
Furthermore, sorry guys. I really should have made time to keep you in the loop but my stress levels were almost critical. I have 5 weeks off work to settle in with the new arrivals and i should, in that case make frequent posts at least until i get back to work.
