Aw Rufus and Leeoli :(
I mean I get it, but still :(
And to keep in line with 2020, there's more hurricanes in my area again - I fogret which one exactly (There's two, because of course there is) but so far safe and dry like last time, will do my best to keep everyone informed if that changes.
Be safe Cassidia!
Quick Update - Laura has passed where I am but it's heckin' wet and windy so posting might be a little on and off for a bit. Safe though and I think the worst has passed, so there's that.
Just glad you're safe Cassidia!
Weird storm...came all the way over to NC now...sort of
I think the worst of it is over but there's still some power/connection issues where I live, but that could be from literally anything. Posting from my phone and can't really see the Roll20 map but Cass will move and fight the hound if doable.
Hope everyone was safe and remains safe.
She who must be obeyed is starting to feel well enough to take up some of the parenting duties. I should not be having the start post and sudden baby cry issue as often now.
Nice! Lol; she who must be obeyed indeed
Well, Gur just one-rounded my hound, so feel free to revise your actions Smaranda. Gur ain't looking too good!
Silas, apologies, but I had you a bit confused with my dynamic lighting. I removed the "fog of war" since you're in the gatehouse - you can see the big troll with the crossbow - but he's across the rushing water in what looks like another guard tower. Only thing is, you can't see how the heck to get there. Feel free to revise movement as well.
Looking at the map now that you've changed the lighting, it looks like that's the upper floor of the gatehouse I'm standing in.
Whoops, you're right! The description in the book threw me off completely. I'm going to relocate the troll to the NE section as he's firing down at the bridge. You can get up the stairs - I'll move you up
*looks forlornly at that wasted confirmed crit...*
I guess I'll move up to the door and try to open it.
Oh man, that crit was so good too!
Cassidia doesn't have healing magic but I have a healing kit, can that be used to stabilize Gur until Silas can approach and work some cleric-y magic. Do we have access to a healing wand by any chance?
Silas can handle a fair bit of healing.
I didn't realize Gur was as bad off as he is.
Gur gets some bonuses for being that hurt. He has quite a bit of negative hp till he drops thankfully.
If you stand out on that bridge, you're going to get shot in the back with giant crossbow bolts.
Almost as if Gur didn't realize the troll was up there and attacked the threat in his sight... yep, sounds like this character.
At the risk of being meta-gamey, did Gur get healed at all and if not Gur do you want to be healed? I think I have cure light wounds, but that's it.
Gur has not been healed that I have seen, though i may have missed something. As to whether or not he wants healed, cant self heal yet, so probably be a good idea at some point. Otherwise Gur dies a valiant death and my next grim dark character will morosely take his place.
I also had a question about the availability of inflict wounds, as I don't remember who had that, if anyone. As a dhampir, Smaranda is harmed by positive energy and healed by negative energy.
I don't have any way to heal Smaranda, and we'll have to be careful about placement when I channel because I can't exclude her.
I would have healed Gur, but I was just looking at his stat bar and just seeing the 69/69.
That would be my fault, I always forget to update the stat bar in forums.
Hi all!
So first, I’m really, really, really sorry for disappearing. Despite all the things going on, I should have reached out and communicated with you all. I know I probably led some to worry about what had become of me. That was selfish. I didn't reach out to you, and I'm sorry.
Every time I’ve sat down to write and explain where I've been, I just haven’t known what to say...
I'm doing fine. During quarantine, despite having more time at home, I became ill at ease and just couldn't find the fun in many things that I had before. Other things took their place and absorbed my time. As far as play-by-post, I had worked it into being part of my weekly schedule in such a way that the disruption in working from home just completely threw me for a loop. My interest waned. Any effort to return felt forced, and so I’ve stayed away. And the longer I waited, the more permanent my decision seemed. I wasn't ready to step away from my games. Now, I can recognize that my decision is made.
I want to thank you for having me with you on your adventures. It’s really meant so much. Play-by-post has been such a large part of my life, and I’ve had the chance to interact with such phenomenal people that I never would have connected with otherwise. To step away has felt like leaving home.
But I am still not ready to return. I might be ready again, maybe one day soon. If so, I look forward to seeing what you’re all up to. I really do wish you all the very best.
-Wicked
Sad to see you go my friend, I for one will be here to welcome you back with open arms should you return.
Seconded; thanks for playing Wicked and stay healthy and safe
Good luck Rufus! You'll always be welcome to come back if/when you're ready!
Gur not being healed is a bit of an issue, and I have cure light wounds but I think 2 1st level spells left, plus a healing kit. Before I do either, is there any other options? Did anyone have a wand or similar?
EDIT: Four 1st level spells available, I used sun metal earlier but can heal a few times depending on how we go about things.
You guys are going to be in a tough spot without some significant healing options...as if you weren't in a tough one already;)
Recruit more people? :)
Brother Silas can do a lot of healing.
We just screwed up the communication on Gur's status during the fight.
Smaranda is a different problem.
Mmmyep, will need a wand of ILW. I have the gold for it, just need an itinerant merchant to fly past and offer to sell it. :)
As you think that, a merchant flies by in the whirlwind.
I've been in here for weeeeeeeeks!
In all seriousness...do you guys want me to look for another player? Silas can sure heal like crazy, so I think you'll be fine until I can kill you off
Silas does have the 'Healing' Domain. All his cure spells are empowered.
Between spells and channeling, he can heal a fair bit.
One problem is likely to come from the fact that Silas is likely to decide that Smaranda should be 'cured' of her condition.
He's looking at her as if she just has an unfortunate disease at this point.
She might not see things that way.
Haha, I love that. She would actually agree with Silas on the matter, and it would make for a fun side quest/personal goal.
Sheesh, finally!
So.
I'm all for healing and getting another player, but first (and I don't know if it's just me) there's been some issues with logging in to the site. I have a work around but it isn't 100%. I'll do what I can but it's been a real pain the butt.
I'll heal Gur and see if I can make a post about it.
Sorry about that Cassidia! I haven't had any issues, but I hear ya - you had some more bad weather over there. Take your time; we can delay Smaranda's death a bit longer.
:(
I have been having issues with gameplay updates not showing for some of my games.
Oh heck I forgot all about those, I wouldn't be surprised if that was my major issue.
My work around isn't as great as I'd hoped so I'm asking to be botted for the time, as this is my 3rd attempt at posting and I really don't want to hold up play over shoddy connections. Everything's a mess.
Cass has 4 uses of CLW and Gur is welcome to as many as he needs
Guys, this week will be a bit wonky for me - family vacation. Posting will be very limited till Monday the 28th. Cassidia, feel free to get a post in there if you can. If not, we'll still move forward on the 28th
Cassidia, any better from your angle on connections?
We may have lost Cassidia guys; hope everything is alright! This is sort of a pivotal moment that may kill you all, so I'd rather not move on without involvement.
