"For the Children!" (Inactive)

Game Master Dragonborn3

Just like all the OOC and Discussion threads in the play-by-post section, post what you can't post in-character here!

Howdy! (I'm Basha for those following the at home game)

Reporting. Thanks for the opportunity!

i´am in :)

I wonder where Eadric is?

I am here! Sorry for the delay. I hadn't noticed the selection had been made!

I am very honored and happy for the opportunity to participate!

No worries. I just posted in the old Kingmaker thread of ours as Obi so you'd see you'd been picked. It is a bit late for me, so I'll have the pbp thread up tommorrow. Everyone be ready for some sleuthing!

Anyone else like how my DM avatar is appropriate for the in the game thread?

P.S. The in-character thread is up.

mhm, it´s okey for me at least :)

Just out of curiosity..What time zone is everyone here in? I'm in EST or GST-5. Just wondering when the bulk of the posting may take place.

Also in US EST. Prolly AM our time for me.

Eastern Standard time, US.

Hm... so I just going to tell here that Azharten is quite grim reaper guy... ahah. as his nickname from his foster parent or in this Keiyanna -> Sulky, it has gone little bit worse.

After leaving he has faced alot of hardship, come to not trust people or it will be really hard. Alot of fightings and most of alone, without occassionally joining adventure group to on adventure (more like to train his swordmanship and killing...)

He is neutral but got tendency to go sometimes to chaotic neutral but is NEUTRAL in the end. He consider situation but is really fond in this case towards Keiyanna because of childhood.

Also would like to ask, how is the Orphanage? Surrounding, how many children at this moment, any special things going on at that place, we should notice etc? At what part / location: in town, outside?

What about the townspeople and their reaction towards our PC`s? Recognising us or can move without being noticed? Anyone of us famous in that sense? (well, we have been long away, done our own adventures and got some fame during that time but depends, so I think it's your call DM :) )

Also the current situation with town: how it looks, etc? Was little bit loose with my test there, so not to descripe it

Edmonton, AB, Canada (Mountain Standard GMT -7) for me!

Also would like to ask, how is the Orphanage? Surrounding, how many children at this moment, any special things going on at that place, we should notice etc? At what part / location: in town, outside?

The Orphanage(do you guys want to name it?) looks like it could use some minor repairs. Surrounding building are 3-4 yards away in order to give the children room to play(within a fence so the don't get lost in the city). As for the children, there are a total of 13. 3 in the toddlerrange(3-5 years, or similar for their races), 7 slightly older kids(ages 7-9, or similar for their races) and 3 older children. A human, Half-elf, and Halfling, ages 12, 14, and 15 respectively. They're the ones trying to keep the youngers ones from fighting the city's other children, and each one usually has 3 or 4 of the younger ones nearby to look after. They got organized real quick after the first kid came home from the market with a black eye and a split lip(he did win that fight though).

What about the townspeople and their reaction towards our PC`s? Recognising us or can move without being noticed? Anyone of us famous in that sense? (well, we have been long away, done our own adventures and got some fame during that time but depends, so I think it's your call DM :) )

You have some slight fame. I'd say 2 or 3 on a scale of 1-20. A few people may very well recognize you in the morning(15% chance for each of you? Will think up a better system if need be).

Also the current situation with town: how it looks, etc? Was little bit loose with my test there, so not to descripe it

It's a moderate wealthy city. It has it's own market(upper left side of town), religious area(upper right quarter), and the living areas(the lower quarters of the city, with wealthier people in the lower left quarter. The orphange is in the lower right quarter). It's easier to imagine the city like a circle cut into four equal pieces.

well, for me it´s GTM+ 1 but able to post whole day since able to do it from my workplace. If anything happens, I respond almost immediately :P

dotting...

Everyone, for now the chatting and atmosphere has taken quite a turn in the kitchen :P That is good and I like how this game is going, but if I am going too far with Azharten, just say so :)

Now, my idea is that I will be getting Azharten to leave in the cover of night to "question" the Sheriff and other people muahaha. Waiting for everyone to sleep.

OK, the thing is that this will now take route in the plot (actually, still allowable I hope so?) but I would like to give chance to others to notice. All the stories need kind of good-bad-guy or kind of anti-christ and Azharten is more than playing this part.

The first hint was : "The night is time for darker beings" plus taken account his charecteristic I build now, COULD be assumed.

Just would like to ask what is the opinion? Should I give Stealth check? or maybe someone is going to also sleep outside? In this case Basha and Lydiana can choose, since Eadric already decided to be inside

About the assuming, should the religion affect Lydiana and Eadric since one is paladin and one is cleric or doesn´t matter? Code of honor and belive, that everyone is good (of course aside the evil section :)). I am little bit wondering how would you like to offer ideas to this? I hope this will not affect to decision 'yes, Lydiana or Basha go outside to see, what Azharten is up to´ etc.

Also in the night time moving, any bonus or something? This I could leave to DM decision what kind of night it is (dim light = moon, stars or darkness = total concealment).

So far noticed that Basha could have idea about this but I leave it up to everyone and to help develop situation :)

If found out or someone going with him or able to reason to why not stay / not to go, is possible but with good reason. He is still not EVIL! He just believe´s it´s too much time consuming and something might happen or go worse.

I'll allow it, with a Stealth check to get away and keep from waking anyone(hard to do from outside, but you never know).

Of course, I'd allow it even without a Stealth check, but that means it will be easier for someone to hear you. If you want to go find the Sheriff, feel free, but you'll need to make Intlligence to find out where he is currently.

Your dealing with a slightly cloudy night with a full moon.

*eerie music*

I likeee Dark grim reaper smile

Hmm in this case I should use the knowledge:local but any bonus to this? +2 would be reasonable I guess since raised in this town plus alot of playing around. Then of course, it might have developed quite alot since leaving.

Also the design of town would imply that Sheriff would be living in lower left quarter but this I will ignore since no idea of the place. At least only the area is possible.

I will need to wait for others to see how they think about this. I guess I will be going without armor to avoid Armor penalty but also for faster speed to move. Also makes little bit sense if doing night operation

Hm... you have a point about growing up in the town.

Good news everyone! If you don't have a rank in Knowledge(Local), you are now treated as if you did for the purposes of checks concerning this city.! For those of you who have ranks in it, you gain a +2 miscellaneous to all Knowledge(Local checks) concerning this city.

ah, should we assume this is also Class Skill for us? Rofl

ah, should we assume this is also Class Skill for us? Rofl

For the purposes of this particular city, yeah, go ahead.

So, a chase scene in my mystery game...

It's a bit early in-game, but that's fine. If the other characters want to participate, I have a way to let them know planned. Of course, if they'd rather not, I have a plan for them staying behind too...

I just want to say that this is a great PbP so far. Well done.

Thank you. Hopefully, it only gets better.

Lydinia vs Azharten

Okay, they way I see it, Azharten first noticed that Lydinia saw him, and then tried to hide the fact he was leaving. Sharp-eyed as she is though, Lydinia saw him try to hide his departure and figured out where he was going.

All the checks made recetly are the ones I think are relevant. State your case if you think otherwise, I may very well be wrong.

Sorry for the confusion.

we are all confused DB..haha...all I know is i've made two stealth checks (a 25 from the previos page and a 20 on the current page) since posting I would hide out by the sheriffs and wait to see what Azharten does. Azharten has has made two perception checks since showing up at the sheriffs (a 22 and a 12?). If both checks were to see Lydinia, then her first roll goes with his (25 vs 22) and the 2nd with the 2nd (20 vs 12). If only one of Azhartens perception checks was to see Lydinia her first roll of 25 should stand as her stealth check and I don't know why I made a second stealth roll at this time...now that we are all more confused haha...im cool with whatever...just want to move on :)

Mhm, same. I am okey with everything :P We play, DM tells :D

Sounds like I will have wireless internet where I am going. Add to that my iPhone and I should be able to participate a little more than I had thought earlier. It may still be somewhat difficult at times but I'll do my best to post.

Cheers

That's good to know Eadric.

Though considering I'm heading to GenCon tomorrow, and have no idea if I'll have access myself, I'm afraid we may need to take a short break.

And just when things were getting good too...

I'm still here, and have been checking in faithfully every day while on vacation. ;)

still here!

yap yap, standing by

Also still about, but would like to get this chase scene over with ASAP :)

Apologies for the long scene, but it won't last much longer...

But does that mean the PCs are the ones going to die? Even I don't know...

Just bought something that may or may not be used, and that may or may not be helpful to you.

*laughs... once*

So, I usually ask this at least once in my pbp's...

What do you think of the game so far? Does it seem to fit together nicely and what can I do to make it more enjoyable(except maps, I can't make maps... :[ )?

I'm happy... no complaints here. Things are progressing slowly right now, but that is fine as I am quite busy lately. Come next week my availability to post will drastically increase (for the next 8 months) and then some of you may wish to muzzle Eadric! You have been warned! ;)

I think I'll be okay.

I think I'll be okay.

Yeah but you knew what you were getting into with Eadric... the warning was mostly for the others. ;)

Oh.. Yeah it makes sense to warn them.

Of course, that's the reason I asked you to be a candidate for the game...

Do any of you have the APG?

not really, haven´t bough it yet and unsure when getting even the chance to spend my money :P

Do any of you have the APG?

Mine is winging it's way to me from Chapters as I write this. I would expect it on Monday. Why do you ask?

I was wondering if I should allow archtypes(and possible rebuilds when you level), feats, and spells from it, but would only do this if everyone had some form of access to it. I may be an unfair DM in what I'm putting against you guys, but that doesn't mean I want anyone to miss out on the APG fun! ;)

*whistles innocently*

*whistles innocently*

Nicely done sir!

How come everyone is left handed? Conspiracy? ;)

Because you can specify either left or right as your off-hand in-game with no penalty?

And besides, Azharten could be either and your horse doesn't have hands, so there is that. :P

But you can't see all of my horse, how do you know he doesn't have any hands for sure? ;)

i have a problem...Some how my character details got erased!! I've started to re-enter them...trying to remember what they were exactly...I'll understand if you want me to bow out of the game..I don't know what happened...I'm pissed!
