GM Gluttony's The Mother's Maw

Game Master Jigamorphic

Any chance one of those longbows lying around is actually a shortbow or a crossbow? :P

Otherwise, it may be time to start throwing daggers!

Sorry, these guards were issued the same standard gear when they took teh job. Don't worry though, you be able to acquire some more desirable equipment soon enough!

Am correct in assuming there is only one way to go now - through the partially open wooden door?

Beyond that Erodin informed us there is a door and also stairs that go down.

I could try the window... though I have no idea what it would do and we'd have to abandon the Ogre. We might want to get lower first anyway.

Pause! I'm going to be traveling for the next five days and my posting will be so erratic if at all that I think it's best if we put the game on hold. Sorry about this, and see you all in a little under a week.

Good luck traveling! Stay safe!

Take care.

Hey, hey chums! I'm at a hotel with some decent wifi for the next few hours, and I know it's a small window, but if anyone manages to squeeze in a post then, I'll be able to reply.

Glad that we can get some posts in. How is the traveling so far?

I'll wait for the others to see if they like that plan or not.

Let's give the plan a shot. Just make sure they don't toot their horns.

I guess the others haven't checked this thread recently. We may need to delay till after the 'break'.

Welp, I'm back! Let the plotting resume!

Welcome back! I hope everyone returns soon to resume the story!

Ready when you are :-)

Bueller?

I am waiting for a Jethryk and Erza post, probably something from the GM as well.

Sorry Artorius, I looked at your healing post before I took leave and forgot about it when I got back. Seeing no new gameplay posts, I haven't looked at it since. Grumblejack will react as soon as I have another few free minutes; I may combine his reaction with something else if you guys take some action before that.

Other than that, let the prison break resume!

Ezra, come back! I'd hate for us to stall out when we've barely started.

Ezra! Erza come back! Things were starting so well.

On April 8th she wrote in another campaign discussion thread that she had just recovered from a power outage caused by blown over trees. Her last post was April 12th. Another power outage perhaps?

Anything is possible.

We may have to consider what to do if Ezra doesn't come back.

Well, I for one want to keep going - I certainly think this campaign has potential :-)

If we do carry on in her absence, should I throw in a temporary replacement character for her?
What?
GRUMBLEJACK is evolving!
Congratulations! Your GRUMBLEJACK
evolved into GRUMBLEJACK W/ SORCERER LEVELS!

I choose you Grumblejack! Now, Magic Missile!

I say we play on, with the DM running Ezra's character for the time being. We can make this a default rule when people are missing their posts.

At some point (I'm going to suggest Tuesday to give Ezra the weekend and more to see this), I would say it's time to reopen recruitment for an arcane caster. It's definitely not the best option, but it may be necessary. (Sorry Ezra, I hope you understand my position.)

No return of Ezra. Shall we seek out replacements?

Give her one more day; on Tuesday we shall seek to replace.

I think we should seek out a new player to replace Ezra. I am eager to continue from where we started before we lose too much momentum.

I concur with Artorius.

I definitely want to keep going with this campaign :-)

Sorry fellows, I've had quite an ugly time with some financial issues these past few days.

Anyways, I'm writing up a rerecruitment post right now. In the meantime, feel free to carry on!

Sorry to hear about your troubles, Lord Gluttony. Hope it gets better. And thanks for putting up a new recruitment post. Maybe we could free them from another jail cell her to get the new recruit integrated.

Alternatively, if there's another good place to meet up, feel free to move the action forward as Jethryk and Artorius go down the stairs (with me and Grumblejack 40' behind).

Soon as I get home I'll get you guys downstairs so that you can continue the exploration.

In the mean time, one of the posters on the recruitment thread inquired about playing a psionic class.

I originally said paizo only, but you guys think a psionic character would be fun to have I'd be willing to open that option up. Thoughts?

I have no particularly problem with Psionics, but in a four man party, without an arcanist, we will hurt at high levels - there are lots of *very* useful spells that we won't have access to, not to mention plenty of magical items that won't be useful without an arcanist :-/

My personal preference would be for a Wizard (ideally, for spell versatility), Sorceror, or *maybe* a Witch, at a stretch.

I prefer a good role-player over a particular role. If that means psionics, so be it. But if it's close, preference certainly goes to an arcanist or quasi-arcanist (e.g. Bard, Magus).

RP over anything else, but all things being equal I would favor a arcanist or quasi-arcanist, merely because we may end up missing some very important portions of the skill set.

I'd favor a Witch, Wizard, or Sorcerer - maybe a Magus or Bard.

How is recruitment going? I am really eager to get back into the swing of things with this game.

.... any progress on the recruitment front? Or has this game stalled?

I believe our GM has vanished. Let us know what's going on, Lord Gluttony!

I was particularly excited about possibly joining this group. :/ Does the DM tend to vanish?
Also: hello everyone.

Well he previously went on a business trip for a week, upon his return our wizard vanished. It should be noted that he did inform us in advance about his business trip... this time it seems he just vanished.

Which is disappointing.

Blast. Well, time will tell, I suppose.

still nothing?

Anyone else still around? I guess this game is dead?

*waves*

Still monitoring the thread :-)

I've still got my eye here too, hoping that DM will return or someone else will take over as DM.

Let me know if you find any other open Way of the Wicked games?
