For Queen and Country - Ambassadors of Korvosa (Inactive)

Game Master mourge40k

Are we still going to fetch Edmund's cash from the Guard before returning to base? Hiram is fine either way.

So, what's up? Have we lost our GM?

No idea. Leandric has nothing to add so he remains silent.

Kinda seems that way. It's been, what, a week?

I hope we haven't lost the GM.

Remember that the GM is sometimes working through stuff. Let's cross our fingers and hope she's well, and give her some space/time.

Ah, right. In that case, let us keep the faith. I'm enjoying the game so far!

I think we were heading back to the house. Hopefully the GM shows back up.

I am terribly sorry to leave you all hanging like that. My computer crapped out last week, and I have not had access to the ability to get on here until today. I sincerely apologize for being one of those DM's with computer troubles, but they have been handled now.

You're back! Good to see you. Glad you're okay!

Wb!

So, what are we going to do?

Head back to the house. We need to be there to meet with Lady Dressarosa.

So we are not going to pick up Edmund's cash from Citadel Volshyenek? That's fine with me, but I just want everyone to be on the same page about this. It seems kind of silly to get part way there and turn back. Might as well get it out of the way.

The question is, do we pick up the cash now, or later? What's the time frame for when it needs to be picked up? Sure, we don't want to wait too long to forfeit it, but they might not have even properly processed the girl properly yet.

What does Sclivian know about it?

Marcus is up for getting home to be sure they don't miss Lady Dressarosa. The cash isn't urgent.

It sounds like, by the way the GM worded it, he's handwaving the pickup without any incident on the way back to the house. I hope so 'cause I'm up for some plot advancement.

Well, getting us to the Citadel might have been a hook. If not, and we can just drop by and get the money without incident, why not.

Agreed, if it's handwaved, we do that. Time to move the plot forward.

Sorry, should have specified more. Man, just slipping up all over the place here.

Also, I fully acknowledge that I have made a note that none of you can read. Not a very good threat on this guy's part, now is it?

I'm genuinely suprised. Abyssal is always in my top languages with casters...abyssal, celestial, draconic, infernal, sylvan, and then the elementals. Gotta command those summon spells.

True. So Sclivian never summons demons. Too unpredictable. Sure sign of a desperate man who knows not how to manage the legal requirements.

Lowlifes summon demons.

Would it be possible to try and translate it with Linguistics? Or at the least get a rough idea of the contents?

Yes, you can use Linguistics to take a stab at understanding it. Just make sure to roll a wisdom check following it as well.

Might not post for a couple of days. Really bad side effects from medicine I'm taking. Sorry.

Might not post for a couple of days. Really bad side effects from medicine I'm taking. Sorry.

Totally understandable, and no worries. Here's the hoping you recover soon.

Hey, just to let everyone know, I'll be traveling from tomorrow afternoon through Wednesday night. I might get in one more update before I head out, and another when I get in Wed night, but don't be surprised if I only post again Thursday morning. Feel free to bot me if necessary.

Got it. Thanks for the heads-up!

And... flight cancelled. Leaving this weekend instead.

Sorry guys. Fighting another infection. Worst two weeks ever. Will update when I can.

No worries! We're being patient over here.

So, what's the delay?

I don't think it needs to be said, as this is clearly more dead than a lich taking a nap, but I'm out.

Too bad.

I would've loved to stay...If we actually played... but multiple weeks without update is just beyond what I'm willing to participate in

I have the idea most of it can be chalked up to miscommunication.

I do agree though, it is a shame but like this it doesn't work.

This is the second or third time things have halted, I agree this one is done.

Pity.

In any case, it's been fun playing with you all while we could, so thank you, everyone!

Ditto. You're all great roleplayers. Hopefully I'll bump into at least some of you in some other game, sometime in the future. :)

Agreed, we had a fun crew for a bit.

Yeah, I liked your styles. Hit me up if any of you are looking for a player in another game.

If it updates daily.

I have been working on a campaign for quite some time that is remarkably similar to this campaign's concept. It is not ready for play -- in fact I've hit quite a roadblock in development -- but if (when) I do work out its problems, and assuming I get time to DM a PbP, I'll send each of you a PM to see if you want to resurrect these PCs and their backgrounds.

In other words -- you each get a letter from Lady Dressarosa Arvanxi later that night thanking you for your willingness to serve but that your services are no longer needed. (Maybe she doesn't need you anymore or maybe your shenanigans were too unprofessional.) And you guys are now "stuck" in Korvosa.

However, Maybe a month or a year or something down the road you get another letter, this time from The Crown, asking you to reunite for a very similar mission For Queen and Country.

.... At the very least, I'll make "The Sheppard" an interesting NPC, if for no other reason than because I was really intrigued by his note to you guys as well and I want him to be revealed!

Well, I'm intrigued. Feel free to hit me up if/when you get something together. :)
