Does Diego have his lackey with him? Same question for everyone else :P
If you have an RP or scene idea that needs a lackey, absolutely!
Or I can always come up with something. (Although I haven't exactly figured out Marea's personality or anything. Open to suggestions here.)
;P
Let's say yes. I'll play with ideas and see what I figure out! :)
If I need the Lackeys around, I'll bring them in, don't worry. Otherwise, you have the option of having them with you for most things, except royal audiences and the like.
You gave me a lot about Marea in Diego's backstory; plenty to work with.
Geez, it takes a lot of encounters to level up. So much for my career as an AP writer.
Ignore that. I'm a genius. Genius!

??? I think you might be confusing Marea with Cecila, his former betrothed. :)
Cuz I just re-read it and I didn't see anything about Marea. (It had been a while since I wrote it. I had to check!)
Actually, I pretty much dried out the well making up all that stuff about his family. Any help with Marea would be welcome! ;P
Whoops, I wrote it. Back atcha in PM.
How did we get to be the GM?
You do realize that Cayden worship is a capital offense in Cheliax, right? Just checking.
Yeeees,..... ?!? ;P
Yes I knew that, but just invoking the name?
Man, I am going to get into SO much trouble under Chelaxian law,... :)
OK, wanted to be certain you knew that up front, because your character certainly would! No big, we're just getting the setting baselined. Cheliax is a bit oppressive in certain areas.
Oh yeah you've told me. (Multiple times) ;)
And I DO need to be careful and play him 'wisely'.
(He IS a cleric after all!) :P
But,... I also figure that a guy who chooses to serve & worships Cayden in the middle of a Cheliax-ruled city is also not (overly) concerned about being 'politically-correct'. ;P
But not stupid,........... Hmmm,....
(MAN this is gonna be a lot harder than I originally thought!) :/
We had worked out lackey stuff, but I don't recall, I picked the 3rd picture you'd given as an option for him, but I don't recall what we'd chosen as a name or anything like that.
Is Vittorio going to chime in tonight?
I don't want to get anything started without him.
What -- oh, crap -- seems I'd somehow hidden the gameplay thread. Ugh.
Will catch up and be sufficiently dashing tonight.

No problem. I was wndering because it's not like you to be silent. :) Not when there's swashing and buckling to be done, and derring-do to be, um, dood.

Welcome back! Hope you all had a great holiday (or are still having it, like my Jewish flatmate). Let's get back to it, shall we? :)
I hadn't planned on a particular schedule for this pbp. If you guys run out of gas while chatting, let me know and I can poke things along, but figured this would be a good scene for you to chat for a while and get acquainted with your characters. I'm hoping this will be a nice, organic, flowing pbp.
As this calendar year rolls to its close, I wish all of you the best prospects for the new year. We'll get back to gaming as soon as the hangovers pass. ;)
LOL
I just finished my annual post-Christmas Family visit and drove back today.
So, Happy New Year!
I plan on 'celebrating' tonight. (No drinking at my mothers house.) ;P
Apologies: I have been slammed with clients and my own year-end work. I may actually be done with EOY 2016 by TOMORROW and have the books into the CPA for tax returns, so am hoping to update then.
My CPA is going to die of shock.
LOL,
My aunt (Who is VERY kind and does our taxes each year with her copy of Turbo tax) would die of shock if I ever got her my tax $#&* more than a week before it was due! ;P
You do what you gotta do Dahlin'!
I'm busy at work, school (University) starting back up, and started rehearsals for Sweeney Todd this week. AND getting ready to take my daughter to Salt Lake City to attend the premiere of the Documentary she is in called The Mars Generation. Look for it on Netflix in 3-4 months!
:)
So, yeah, busy. I get it. :P
Thing about freelancing is you have to take the work (and get it done in a timely fashion) when you get it, so between EOY for old clients and trying to impress (and keep) a new client, it's bogus.
That, plus taking 3 accounting courses, researching ACCA certifications, reading for and prepping my business site and blog, studying WordPress to improve my website, and starting a botanical art class in two weeks... geez.
Geez Treppa,
Go-Go Gadget Overachiever! ;P
(Well, you and Pat) ;)
Over-committed is more like. Or needs to be committed. But I've committed here, too, and need to be more diligent.
Anyhoo, doggo and I returned from a client who lives/works on a mini-ranch and crashed and burned. We slept from 6 to 9 pm (doggo kept sleeping from 9 to midnight). I'm awake now and putting up updates! Huzzah!
Huzzah indeed!
I sometimes wish they WOULD commit me! Maybe then I could get some rest! ;P
Nice update! Now, Regarding Diego....
To snark or not to snark, that is the eternal question.
Aw who am I kidding?!? The musketeers were never worried about brawling with the Cardinals guards?! ;P
Snark incoming in 3,... 2,... ;)
The dandy may be cavalier in his relationships with women, but he doesn't abide ill-treatment of any woman. And seeing Suzie demonstrate such abject fear enough to send her scurrying for cover quite frankly ticks him off.
Yeah, but Diego never lets a little thing like 'facts' get in the way of being a good, swashbuckly gentleman! ;P
And the fact that Suzanna skeedaddled to the other side of the room shows that is far smarter than even Diego gave her credit for! ;)
Clearly, She knows what kind of people we are! :D
Just wanted to be sure my poor descriptive powers didn't affect Diego's judgment.
I'll wait for the Birthday Cat to post before substantially moving on. Want all our players around for the next part.
Oh don't mind Diego jumping to conclusions!
Thats one of the things he does best. Apparently. :)
Or I am the one with poor descriptive powers, since I obviously made it sound too much like Diego thought the party in the back room had already been mistreating the clientele. When in fact Diego just didn't like the way the party-ers were affecting his fun place! ;P
S'all good.
It's cool.
We cool.
I'm totally not gonna whale on you with a dogslicer when your back is turned. Nope. Unh-uh. Not gonna do it.

<Glances over shoulder when he thinks no one is looking,...>
Sorry so absent, currently attending Sundance at Salt Lake City for premiere of documentary my daughter is in.
Should be back to my USUAL level of insanity with work/rehearsals/posting by Tuesday.
~Rags
Still sick; please give me a day or two. Gracias.
No problem. Get better, we'll wait.
Understood, believe me!
Get better please! Soon. :)
Yo, peeps! I mean, uh, hello victims friends.
I am inclined to try an experiment for battles. Let me know what you think about using this Google Drawing for our combat. You can move the icons.
Pros:
You can move things and zoom around and draw lines/text to indicate what you mean in your posts.
You don't have to wait for me to generate maps every time you move.
You will be looking at a current map without having to worry that you missed somebody else's movement post.
Oh hey, it looks like we can have discussions directly on the map, which might help keep the gameplay thread clean of "can I move here?" types of things.
Cons:
It is entirely dynamic, including the background. If you aren't careful to click on your icon, you could move the whole background.
The grid is on the edges of the background map, so if you need to reference coordinates, you have to zoom out and follow across.
There's no backup if something gets hosed.
This is set up for you to play with. Go ahead and move things around, see if you can mark up the area, etc. Let me know if you like! :D
By the way, thank you all for your patience with my under-the-weatherness.
Tried briefly. Interesting, looks easy enough.
Tested and found that Ctrl-Z still works if you mess up. :)
No worries! Get better soon!
It actually gives me a chance to try and keep up with my multiple PbP's, my job, my kids activities, and learning my (HARD) music for Sweeney Todd! ;)

There's also an UNDO arrow at the top, but I'm not sure how many do-overs you get.
Seems to work -- though I know from past experience that it's not so mobile-friendly.
Heh. That's ok with me, my old Iphone 4 won't run anything anyway, and I'm far too lazy to try and use my tablet when I know I can just go to my PC when I get home. ;P
New keyboard tomorrow. Will resume posting then.
Okies! :)
Posting is good. We like posting.
Post-Toasties! :)
As a head's up, I'm about to be out of town and without easy access to a computer for about 2 weeks -- basically, I'll be able to post Monday (13) and then not again 'til the 28th.
Vittorio will hopefully get in a first strike (with his dex-boosted controlled bloodrage) on the dear Captain, though he'll yield if he doesn't -- as he said, his beef was with the crumpled ball of pus at his feet (and, too, he'd want to try to stabilize him at first opportunity).
1. Did Tilnar return? If not, where did he go? o_O
B. Anybody interested in continuing?
I did. I didn't see any new posts.
And yes, I'm It's like to continue.
I'm good. Sorry, just been busy. Didn't see any new posts so didn't actually check the thread. :P
Although, in retrospect of the sites past issues, I maybe should have? :)
Yeah, I'll continue! :)
No, nobody's missed anything. I had a month or so of pbp brain seizure and couldn't come up with posts, but that has passed. Then when I was ready to go, you didn't seem to have returned anywhere and I was worried. :P
