Anyword from the other 2?
Nope.
I find that having some hard deadlines makes things more fun and predictable for everyone. Not knowing what's going on and waiting forever makes others lose interest too.
The normal limits I've seen are one or two days in combat before being botted and one or two weeks without a word or being replaced. Of course if you provide advance warning these can be extended.
I suggest you look over those who applied originally to see if there are anyone who can work as replacements. If there aren't any, just make a post stating we are looking for replacements.
Also, what's with all the suggestions for splitting the party? It's quite troublesome as one part always end up having to wait for another, often for days if not weeks. You already saw the problems it caused with Tairan earlier. Here it's likely to be much worse. Say there are two encounters in there, that's easily a week of waiting time. I tend to try to avoid such suggestions as best I can as splitting can be quite boring and lead to people losing interest.
That crypt is no dungeon crawl. The interesting part is here mostly to get in unseen.
From the original recruitment one single person is left who wanted to play Kendra's mother. All the others play, or played in my second CC game.
Well, Tamara's opinion is that we should go in together, but she can be convinced.
You can go in together. You just have to manage that no one sees you go in and they believe you just moved on.
"I hear you all might need a bit'f help?"
FYI:
I did get no reply from the other two who disappeared from our game. So I asked J4RHEAD if he would like to take part in our game.
Just so you don't wonder where this Harrold Bathshforth comes from.
I assumed he was some not disgruntled towns folk who was nice enough to help, or he was here to kill us.... either or nothing in between.
haha
Welcome aboard
I was curious as to what the response would be
Welcome though, thank you for coming to our aid
I thought about making Harrold one of the two deputies of the sheriff. Now that the character is going to be old, I don't know how much sense that makes.
But old men who have nothing to do but watch their neighbours and telling them what they do wrong has been heard of. So if you like that as an entrance you can step in right here as the guy with the brush and bucket in hand.
But that would also mean that you loyalities for now lie with the sheriff. Which makes it even more interesting.
I will post a post once I have read all the posts and the players guide :p
So I just want to check that I am caught up with the happenings in the game so far.
Funeral procession -> Street blockade -> burial -> will reading -> church and told that nobody will help and to leave well enough alone -> inn -> trying to break into crypt
Did I miss anything?
What I wrote about your entrance is complete BS. I got confused.
We will have to think a bit more about how you meet the group. Are you from Ravengro? What would be your interest in the happenings around the Professor? Or are you just curious about these strangers? Or are you some other friend/colleague of the professor who has not yet heard of his death and comes for an unannounced visit? Sheriff's deputy is still an option but then I would have to think of a reason why you would need to observe the group. As for now there is none. Until they break into the crypt and get seen.
I have PMed you a bunch of stuff about that :)
= 140 GP
Rolling the starting wealth yourself gets you a place on the naughty list :P
Old men don't get presents from Santa anyway :P. Besides, you said standard, not average. Standard is 3d6 x 10
I am an old man, I have a right to be pedantic.
I didn't say you can't have rolled starting wealth. I just say if you don't want average on anything, I'm doing the rolls. "That's what you get for letting stubborn old people in" shaking head. :P
Well it seems I must be hard of hearing as well, for I missed that :P
I'm not replying to your post in gameplay now as it is now the turn of Herm, Amira and Tamara to make good use of the acolytes being distracted. And that won't happen in the next five minutes.
Understood
Sorry, but life took a crazy turn again. Too tired to post now...
As a nurse in RL I would almost say this is elder abuse but I assumed Golarin does not follow Earth laws :P
Hi, would you mind explaining? Still need to get to know you guys a bit so I can follow your humor
Good evening all. I am unsure as to what time zones everyone is on. 7:13 pm here
It is 1330 here.
Herm - EST -5
Amira - EST -5
Tamara - CET +1
Harrold - SAST +2
Foxy - CEST +2
Something is wrong here. Do you have summer time Herm?
Yes We are in day lights savings time. I will fall back end of Oct.
That's the case here too.
personally i've just been busy, school started up again so i'm back at work. takes up a chunk of my day

Life could be so much fun but there has to be work.
But if you do what you love you apparently never work a day of your life
Lucky you, if you do.
You can investigate the crypt on your own. And discuss what to do with all that stuff and with a DC 18 Spellcraft you can identify the Haunt Syphons.
The Only thing you shall not do is leave the crypt again on your own. No crypt without encounter. But I have to go to bed now and therefore you have to wait with the leaving ;)
I'm not a fan of this spoiler what's going to happen ahead style. Having the results in a spoiler is fine, but telling the story ahead of time feels jarring and breaks the flow. You are by far the most active of us, so I don't think it'll even speed up things.
Normally I don't do this as the result depends too much on what you try.
I just didn't want to draw this crypt out too long as it has not really much of interest but offers a lot of spoilers.
Personally I am impartial as to how we go
Did you count the guidance as Tamara's first round action? I meant to do that before combat if possible... Since you didn't start combat immediately I figured we had at least a round before it arrived. If we jumped straight to combat I would have rather cast bless.
As a sidenote Tamara is pretty awful against non-undead mindless enemies at the moment.
Surprise round for everyone who made the perception.
So action is Tamara with guidance, Herm probably taking his earthbraker, centipede coming down. Surprise round over. everyone acts before the centipede again.
Centipedes are higly vulnerable against earthbreakers ;)
Well, then I would rather cast bless as that last much longer. Though it's only a minor difference so let's not change things because of this.
In the future if there is a surprise round I would far prefer that you roll perception and initiative for everyone then post who is up. As I said I thought combat hadn't started yet.
You can still do that. Guidance is a orison so no loss and It's your turn again before everyone else can actually do something.
I will roll initiative here in the future as it doesn't work if everyone does on it's own.
But besides that: Combat starts when the first one rolls initiative.
As you're more active here - has your life come back to normalcy again?
Harrold is an archer, and would never so no to some arrows :P
Speaking of Harrold, may we see his sheet? What age is he gamewise? I assume he's a hunter?
He is in his late 50's. I haven't decided exactly, but i am gravitating towards 57.
What do you want from his sheet? I am more curious than anything.
Also do you mean hunter as in the class or hunter as in the profession?
