The Worldwound Incursion.

Game Master Akinra

Please use this section for all OOC discussion.

Tonight, I am seeing the Doctor Who 50th Birthday Special at 7:30.

Just waiting for two more to check in, else I will post alternates on the recruitment thread in 24 hours.

How was the Doctor Who special? I keep telling myself I'll watch the show but never seem to get around to it.

On a Moffat-related note, Sherlock series 3 is supposed to kick off soonish. Sometime around the holidays, I believe.

Woot, I am here.

@Ghorga: I'm sure it was some sort of typo, but all Paladins are restricted to LG, unless otherwise stated by DM fiat. I was just curious because your latest crunch on Recruitment tells me Ghorga is CG. Might be a typo, I don't know, I'm sorry if it isn't.

I'm only excited for the Hobbit and Gordon Ramsay... and happy Thanksgiving today for anyone in America!

Hail, hail, the gang's all here!

I am driving home today, will post up initial checks when I hit home. Was slow peddling so ppl could check in.

Just wanted to mention that I'm waiting to post Aran's attacks until something emerges from the spider carcass (since I'm after the enemy in the initiative order). If the things aren't going to emerge this round, let me know and I'll go ahead and post her actions.

Long weekend over at last. -sigh- Anyhow! Got the note on Perception, will check the number soon. Also, I will wait until Eualia has posted to say anything regarding spiders.

Come back, Eulalia! Come baaaaaaack! Horgus didn't mean what he said*.

*He totally did

Anyone have any idea what's happening with Eulalia? She hasn't posted in around a week...

Dunno. Just checked her aliases, but there weren't any posts in the past week on those either. Since I don't know her age irl, it could be anything from work to school to parents, or something even more serious.

It's probably still early enough to retcon someone else in if she doesn't post soon, but that's up to Akinra.

No idea, holidays get to people sometimes. None the less, if you all want, I will recruit a replacement this week if she does not re-materialize by monday.

Well, in two days it will be the two-week mark of Eulalia's disappearance, so I vote to replace her. I hope nothing serious happened, but a two week absence is pretty big, and we're just starting the campaign, so I don't think finding someone else would be too difficult. I don't know if anyone else from the original recruitment thread is still available, but if they are, then you won't need to sort through a whole new batch of applicants for a single spot.

Also, RPG Superstar 2014 starts soon! I think someone said it is supposed to start today; rather, the timeslot to submit an item will start sometime today. I don't know exactly when voting starts.

I will post a recruit replace. Meanwhile, I had an emergency filing to get papers in for a not-for-profit corporation by end of business today, and I got to spend down $10,000.00 in grant money before midnight so I could file a compliance report with the foundation kind enough to grant the ten thousand. Yay pro-bono madness!

no activity in 2 days is a little unsettling.

Glad to be joining you! I'm reading back to see what you've done so far, and I'll be putting up an equipment list on my page asap. DM, do you want me to just appear from the darkness, or did you have another plan?

Zogar, you wake up in a black cave. Looking around there is nothing but blackness for a couple moments, then you notice light off to the east. Following the light for a short while, you hear voices, speaking common. Coming closer you see an armored half-orc trying to sew a bedroll back together with a bit of rope and a bent fishhook. The others are taking inventory of their goods. It would appear you are not the only survivor. . .

Bahaha

You and I are the same height!

Seeing as we both have strong characters (personality wise and strength wise) we're either going to get along or have a struggle for dominance, stubbornness thing happen XD

The fact that you weigh more than me works really well with the fact that you are stronger than I am (since muscle weighs more than fat).

Anyway Welcome!

Let's all have fun best we can :D

Haha, Zogar wasn't expecting that! Most of the southern women are so tiny, barely 6 feet tall. ;) Now to see who can out-stubborn whom!

Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome Aboard!

Hiya, Zogar. Welcome to the team!

Apologies in advance, but my posting may be limited to once a day or so until Tuesday. It's finals week, and all my finals are on either Monday or Tuesday. After that, I should be posting more often.

fair enough. for small checks and the like, that the party wants done, I will just assume they can make with or without your presence.

Example:

Aranthis:

Aranthis politely asks Phoenix the nature of the strange owl and mushroom amulet.

Phoenix K. Local: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

"Phoenix tells me this amulet . . . "

Thanks Aranthis and Phoenix! :) Good luck with your finals, Phoenix!

Ok, so I'm a bit confused about the layout.

A map would be nice or at least rough distances to enable me to create my own.

From what I can gather we are currently in a smaller cavern that has an abandoned campsite in it.

The tunnel continues east out of this cavern.

Back in the main cavern, there is a tunnel to the south that leads east as well?

EDIT:

Ok, saw the update on the battle map.

So, to my understanding, the three survivors are still in the original cavern we fell into, the larger one, while the five of us are at the abandoned camp site.

is the long link to the map

Link to map. I put up both because I bet you are not alone in not knowing where we are all at

Link to map should now also be at the top of each page.

Finals done, RPG Superstar item submitted, and a few days off from work as the holidays approach. All major tasks cleared. Time to slay some demons giant insects!

Just a heads-up: I'll be away for most of tomorrow, so no posting from me. DM, please bot me if it becomes necessary.

Working on RPG Superstar item Saturday. 2 answers due tomorrow unless I really want to submit papers to the court during the week of christmas. Ick. I will do my best to post up, but I also have client meetings beginning at 7 am.

Woo! I get to go before people this time :D

And Zogar you and I need to stop tying/betting the same for things.

First height, then tie at paper scissors rock, now the same initiative!

What sorcery is this! lol

Is it safe to assume that the other three made it to the temp camping site?

Last again :/

Also noticed the editing because I posted commenting on it before :P

How is it even possible to roll a zero? The die fall off the virtual tabletop or something lol

I have no idea. I cut and pasted, and somehow managed to undo when I hit preview. Grr Ctrl-Z! My enemy of old rears it's ugly head again.

Zogar does not approve of sorcery. We must reroll immediately! LOL ;)

Happy holidays, everyone! :)

I am waiting until people are back from the holidays.

Also, remember to vote for the Superstar 2014 starting on January 1!

Are people back from the holidays yet? :D

I think some are. This will serve as a poll!

If you are back, report in here! If everyone reports in before 5 isn, I will post up the next bit. Otherwise I will assume everyone is out for New Year's Eve parties.

I'm still here, at any rate. Like a bad penny, I am.

Also, Happy New Year, everyone!

I'm here as well. Happy New year to y'all.

Happy New Year!

Nice and hot here in Oz!

Happy New Year to all of you, too! :)

OMG! SCALES!

XD

All this time I thought you meant scales as in the things you weigh stuff with when you meant scales as in fish and reptiles.

I thought it was weird that the dragon dropped silver measuring devices XD

So THATS why we get one each.

I feel kinda stupid. rofl.

So we roll for the scale we pick up then yeah?

(still can't believe it. It was SO obvious. Silver Dragon Scales, and I still thought they were a weighing device...)

So I've made a spreadsheet in Google that has all the loot (hopefully) and who is holding what.

I won't post the link without the GM's approval cause they may already be doing it and I don't want to impose on, or confuse, anyone.

Needless to say, my character is the pack mule of the group lol

Since no one has said anything otherwise, here it is

Money, Encumbrance and Inventory

If I've missed something for someone, feel free to edit.

Just don't change anything in the Weight column, because those have formulas in them (such as with arrows, just change the amount and the weight will change accordingly)

looks good thanks! Puts everyone at medium which puts them all on par with the broken legged woman.

Readying a weapon is a move action, unless you have a BAB of +1 or more, in which case you can draw your weapon as a part of a move action

The giant fly buzzes up to a safer spot in the cave, scampering away from the hostility. Apparently it is not desirous of being swatted.

I do have a BAB +1, so the drawing the weapon is a given. I wasn't so sure about also being able to prepare my shield as well.

Awesome, thanks Ghorza!

Actually, it puts Zogar at light encumbrance, so he's ready to zoom around protecting the group. *g*

Just FYI: Tomorrow I'll be running a face-to-face game, so I'll be unavailable in the evening.

Sorry about getting in your way, Ghorza - when I looked at the map, Aranthis was directly in front of Zogar.
