I don't think I consent to you unteasing the joke therein!
So, usually I know my character's romantic orientation, but with Yrja I have no clue, and I don't think she does either. Having lived most of your life in a secluded hut in the middle of the forest and your only human contact a cranky old woman... yeah.
As a player, I am open to have Yrja the target of flirtations, she will probably react hilariously clueless and you'd have to hit her over the head with the point. It might do interesting things to her self-esteem, in any case.
I doubt anyone would respond terrifically positively to an earthy oaf like Orik. He hasn't thought much about it, I expect, as a result.
Chiquq actually thinks Orik's pretty charming. :P She's kind of an earthy person herself and finds him friendly and optimistic and the sort of person she'd enjoy a sort of low-key companionship with rather than a high 'romance.'
I have no objections to Chiquq getting into some sort of relationship! Generally find it enjoyable when that develops organically in play. Chiquq's open-minded on the gender front.
Hah, well, that's a nice of you to say. That's what I was going for. It's hard to play an 8 cha character sometimes - I'm hoping he doesn't see too agreeable but I figure that is more a result of his training.
Hey Orik! Apparently it snows every evening in Irrisen, so sleeping outside will be unfun for a non-musk ox or sled dog. Even Yrja's donkey is inside. However, if you're casting Endure Elements on yourself, you should be ok. Is that what we're handwaving/handshaking? :)
I had no idea - would have memorized one EE so that I can sleep outside with her. She's not an AC so I don't want her running off.
Feel free to handwave and I'll change my loadout.
Heads up that I will be at a conference between 17-24th of this month and my posting will slow down as a consequence.
No worries. We've had slightly slower play (or maybe I'm more available?). Hope everyone is ok!
This part of the module is rather mapless (and a little vague), so I'm back to homebrewing maps and tweaking CR's. Hope you don't mind, or better yet, love these fiendish challenges. :D
I don't really like this map. Give me son back or I attack GM next.
Look Nadya, I didn't write the module--this is Event 3, Little Boy Lost. Talk to Jim Groves.
I shall find this Jim Groves and he shall taste my arrows.
I'm liking Nadya more and more!
Don't encourage her, Dez!
Orik is immediately trying to save him, with very little self concern (except what is more dangerous with respect to rescuing him).
I think I can go ahead and post my next action, right? Top of a new round? Are we at full or half speed on the ice?
Your fearless GM will be in the woods from 4/14-4/18. Please talk amongst yourselves during this brief hiatus. The Purrasque has regenerated all of its hit points and the Litter Box of Gormuz needs changing, badly.
Sorry to have been so quiet lately! I got promoted at work from a part time position to a full time one that has a lot more responsibility-- ultimately good, but I'm still adjusting to the longer hours and more work. I'll try and be more regular. Going to go post now.
Congrats on your promotion!
Yay Chiquq!
Aww, thanks guys/gals/others <3
Congratulations! It’s always nice to feel appreciated at work.
Please bear with me--I have had some incredibly busy days at work. I'm moving my rig to home for May as we're doing renovations and it's sidelining lots of stuff. I'll try to post today.
A note to all my games that I won't be able to post for the next few days as I'm doing a 3-day workshop over the weekend. Feel free to bot me as needed.
I will be out of the country and doing tico-ish things in Costa Rica from 7/2-7/14. GM'ing will be slow during that time.
I will GM in mean time. Orm! Mjoli! Go gather firewood. We hunt troll.
I will be out of town from June 28 through July 25. May be able to post a bit on my phone but a lot less regular.
Hello from Costa Rica and very slow internet. What with Dez out, I will post, but won't expect things to resolve too quickly this month. Pura Vida and such!
Purr what?
:P it's the same in Romanian!
I guess I should bot Dez for this battle.
Sorry to ask, just been a long time-- I know we sold some gear in Waldsby, but did we already sell the +1 mancatching spear? I'm absolutely fine if we did sell it, but I was under the impression somehow that it was so small a town they might not have been able to afford buying it (as well as our other more expensive items). I did look at the loot tracker but couldn't recall if that was "stuff we plan to sell" or stuff officially already sold. (The only reason it matters is for getting accurate weight encumbrance stuff up for Chiquq and Aitut right now)
I thought you kept it!
That reminds me; when Dez gets back I need to check about his encumbrance as well.
I was intending to sell it, I just wasn't sure if we actually had yet or not.
We kept it for you to use as a spare, figuring we’d sell it when it was appropriate, I think.
Dez moves up and to the right one square—I can’t adjust the map from my phone.
I think Dez’s encumbrance is ok. My assumption is the animals are carrying any excess gear.
Gotcha, Dez. Huh, Google Slides are spozed to be adjustable from a phone, but I haven't ever checked.
I've placed little red lines to indicate where you can see arrows pointing out of the doorway and murder holes. Oops, I'm wrong--murder holes are in the ceiling. These are embrasures with arrow slits. Fun words.
Will try to post tonight. Work, folks, is a real bear right now!
I am tangling with that bear as well.
I'm disappearing into the woods for a few days. Back on Wednesday! Thanks for your patience as I continue to adjust to a seriously nutty schedule at work. Good news: it's getting better.
Hey Everyone,
I'm off to Italy for the next week so I won't be posting much, if at all. Please bot me as required. :)
STREGONARIA!
I'm back, but exhausted. Will post tomorrow.
I am away from Friday 9th to Monday 12th, doing some hiking in the Belgian Ardennes.
I was out and didn't tell ya :P
Back again! Ok, that's quite enough vacationing.
Camping til Sunday, but will go see if a post is needed from me right now.
Ready to move on. The bladed belt is flavorful and seems appropriate for Dez flavor-wise. Or maybe someone else thinks it is great for their character. I'm just not sure of the utility, unless the campaign will involve infiltration or being a captive in the future, which I guess is hard to predict... Your thoughts?
Folks, Dien is feeling overwhelmed by their games and isn't sure they can continue. I have offered Dien the option of sitting out and getting their bearings and not worrying about reading through a mountain of posts.
I'm also not really gung-ho about recruiting another player at this time.
We have various partial healers in the group and would be a four person party if Chiquq sits this out entirely. If Dien needs to take an extended or indefinite break, well, Nadya has planned to 'retire' in Ellsprin all along and Chiquq can be a DMPC.
What are y'all's thoughts?
Extra healing could be arranged via a GM houserule that gives Ogon access to Kinetic Healer. I can see it making sense with the whole 'gentle warmth' angle and that would help for sheer HP restoration.
Shame Dien's feeling tough right now. I'm happy with whatever the party is. :)
Sorry to hear that. I really appreciate Chiquq/Dien's contributions. The DMNPC option seems like a good solution to keep opening the possibility of Dien rejoining. I agree the idea of recruitment right now seems like a drag.
I'm fine with slowing down for a while if that helps. I also really appreciate Dien/Chiquq being part of this game and I'd rather not recruit a new player.
