Not to get into politics but last night in America was interesting no matter who was elected president.
...
Let's not talk about politics, yeah? This is really not the right place for it.
*hugs Nabe*
Unless its the politics of Westcrown! ;)
Can we vent by just burning this f@#%er down and searching the ashes for that Crux?
I'm not so sure you can burn down a demi-plane, but I guess you don't really know until you give it a try...
Oh i can try, i can try.
There are three stories to Aberian's Folley (About 53 rooms total). Are you going room to room? If so, how long are you searching each room? Some other way to find the Knot?
That's why I wanted to talk to the majordomo. I suppose we could find her office, if she has one, and see if there are any blueprints or somesuch. Might be easier than trying to get her to talk, if she is loyal.
I just ant to say that I love all of you guys despite Mera acting like a pretentious cold hearted b!~$% right now. Alcohol from the party is driving her feelings from earlier to the surface. I'm tracking she had at least three glasses of wine and is letting that cloud her judgment slightly.
We love you too.
*hugs*
its more fun this way to have 'real' strife between characters as some point. If we all got along and made nice it would get boring quick.
Oh I agree! I have had multiple people take issue with my play style in the past and tell me that they were here to play heroes and not to have issues with their companions. Totally unrealistic, but to each their own. Just wanted to let you know!
Hey, no problem. I think Naberius has reached far greater levels of douchebaggery in the past, and no one even murdered his to-be spouse. Good on you for checking, though. :)
I never minded conflict in RP as long as people remember it is a fantasy game and that the PC's somehow still have to follow the course of the AP.
When filled in by Nabe about another charade of Mera's Tal cringes slightly at tripping her on the floor. It only lasted a second though as Tal justifies it to himself that if she was not so impetuous and communicated with the rest then she would not have ended up in that situation. Come on, lets just hope we are not too late and she is making us jump out of the frying pan and into the fire.
That might be fair if you actually left Mera time to explain herself, instead of hopping straight into rolling CMB. This is going to be a mess to play out retroactively. :S
I would agree if I thought it was Mera at the time. However gullible Tal does think it is Thesing and acted accordingly. That and I am blaming her instead of Naberius thinking that this is her idea. Does Nabe tell us this is actually his idea this time?
Yes, it's a completely reasonable thing for your character to do. However, I don't think it's very good play-by-post etiquette. Anything that requires retconning should be avoided, as it stops things from moving forward. At a table, this whole exchange would take seconds, but here a we could get mired for days trying to make sense of what actually happened within the narrative. This is especially frustrating since we just finished an in-character argument and were about to move forwards, with Mera actively moving us toward that direction and that action being affirmed by a post from the GM.
Really, this probably not that big of a deal, as I assume that Mera's player doesn't want to get stuck arguing the issue. I just felt like I needed to point that out, as it could easily cause some unneeded friction in the future.
One of the problems that PbP presents is the leaps you need to make in order to push things on sometimes. I reached past the exchange with Monday/Tal to try and get us back on track without waiting for proper responses from the other guys. I apologize for making the assumption they would just let me pass. I have no issue with what happened, it's just more fuel on th dumpster fire of our internal social struggles. :)
I'll try to wrap this up quickly as possible.
No issue with you moving on past the incident. I understand why you did what you did and was trying to end it as well with leaving with Monday. It is all good.
Think we could sell this as a decent soap opera?

uhoh Tuesday's feelings are hurt.
Perhaps 'As Westcrown Turns' or 'All Naberius's Children' or 'The Mera and the Dauds'
I do believe we have drama in spades.
I'm a bit disturbed that the room is on the other side of the manor. Not that we can't cross it, I'm sure we can. But I feel like if we cross it then we are leaving behind this half of the manor which we would then need to cross again.
sorry guys, long few days with recent snow fall. Will catch up today hopefully.
Mera got pretty good directions to A9. Assuming that she can put together where we are currently, we'd be heading straight there. Right?
I'd assumed so, yeah.
That's closer, anyway, so we might as well stop there as we make our way to the office. That, or we could split up and rendezvous in the entrance hall. Opinions?
I'd advise against splitting up, probably would be too hectic for our DM too :3
Tal will catch up once he hears no one is coming behind us.
Happy thanksgiving everyone that celebrates it.
Happy Turkey Day Tal!
True story: When I first started playing D&D when 3.5 first came out, my buddy said to me "Never split up the party". I was playing a rogue (I know, bad first choice for a player to RP their first time out). So I figured since my job is to scout I will just leave everyone and say I am scouting the next few rooms alone. Well my PC ran into a dragon and became lunch. My buddy just turns to me and says, "That is why we don't split up the party!" To this day, those guys still rib me about it.
So you all are going to A9-The private office?
Happy Thanksgiving as well. Hope your dinners are as opulent as the Lord-Mayor's! :P
Hehe
And I believe so?
Private office sounds good to me.
I will acquiesce to the group's decision.
To anyone that loves Figs, the Kickstarter for Kingdom Death: Monster 1.5 was just launched and they also have a Black Friday sale on their webstore.
To compare, the original Kicksarter finished at just over $2 Million USD. This Kickstarter beat that in 2 hours.
And it's not even been 6 hours and they're almost at $3 Million.
Uh, do we have anyone that can pick locks?
Tal grabbed a level of Urban Ranger for just that, if I recall correctly.
Yay!
Sorry if I'm wasting everyone's time. The majordomo seemed like a good lead, but it seems like it might be a dead-end. :/
So, we could either talk to Crosael and try to learn about her interests in hopes of figuring out the password, or head straight upstairs without any real idea where we're going. I'm inclined to do the former, if only to figure out what's on the damn paper—it has to be important to warrant the secret page, even if it's not directly related to what we're doing. Besides, this place is huge, so the latter option just seems silly. We can't really spend hours just wandering around and hoping we'll bump into the entrance. We don't even know what it looks like. There has to be something here that can point us in the right direction...
Any other ideas?
no idea is a waste as we don't know where to go. I suppose you could start talking in doubles saying every word twice on the off chance it triggers the secret page.
Tal just isn't very diplomatic so talking to the uppity nobles is not his cup of tea.
Yeah, sure. I'll just grab a thesaurus and start going through it word by word. :P
Splitting off and talking to multiple people at once might be a good idea, though maybe in twos so the less socially gifted can aid the lead.
I am glad you took that first suggestion as a joke. lol. Although it would be pretty funny to hear Naberius mumbling in duplicate to himself while taking to others.
Sounds good with the splitting of the social butterflies but I suppose that means I am with Mera again.
Having all the servants be absolutely terrified of crossing her might work to our advantage. You can be the good cop. :)
touche
Anybody else have anything to add during the dinner or should we jump right to the break?
Naberius wants to speak to Crosael ASAP, during said break if that feels appropriate. He keeps eating sparingly, but there are only so many ways I can narrate that.
I will be out of town visiting family from this weekend until after the New Year. I will try to post but internet connectivity will be sparse.
Thanks for the heads up. Holidays are always a tricky time of the year for posting anyways. Have fun and don't get too bent out of shape with the family.
