Hey Sappy,
is there anything we can do to better fit in with the flavour you're going for?
I'd say it's going pretty good for now! I've cut down on the bloodshed (except for the fact that those goblins rolled really good) and you're doing a great job to keep it fun!
Is there anything you'd want me to change?
No, I'm good. Might hold off on standard writeups, and I'd like to go blunt injury as soon as possible.
@Ilenya: how often would James have seen Tallow?
To be honest, Tallow probably doesn't show up that much. She's very dedicated to Ileyna, but also jealous of any other friendships that her younger sister has. I'd say James would mostly know about her from Ileyna's constant talking to herself. Possibly one or two sightings, but not a ton of interactions.
I which case possibly none, and I think James'll freak out.
Hey folks. I just logged on for the first time in almost two months. I've been dealing with some addiction stuff, mental health stuff, and general life stuff. I don't think I'll be able to continue with the various games I've committed to online, but wanted to jump on and say that I appreciate all of you for reaching out and trying to work with me.
Thank you and good luck in your future adventures!
Richard
Sorry to hear that Richard, sounds bad.
Thanks for telling us - and good luck in the future.
Tim
Really sorry, Richard. Best of luck for the future, and I hope that things work out for you.
Enrico
I imagine Almos' magic looks like this with significantly less skin showing. Safe for work, just lots of skin on that lady.
Any chance I could go for the triple crit confirm? :P
Well, it's already KO, but if you want to overkill go ahead!
Sorry for my absence, life's been a pain in the ass.
So, do you want to stay inside the garrison or head somewhere?
I vote to head somewhere, but I need a reason for James to put Sammy in danger. I do think we shouldn't split the party.
Sammy will stick with James, mostly because she feels safer sticking with him than without.
Almos will go too. With Chakacoatl he's back to feeling confident.
Unless someone specifically stops him, Isaac is fully intending to go back out into the chaos to find his legal guardian.
Quiin will probably go looking for his uncle to make sure he is alright.
@GM Sappy: Do we know which parents and guardians are still unaccounted for? We could go out as a group and collect them (or check in) as we go.
As for now, in the garrison there's nobody but you, Koya and a guard. You can guess that your relatives and caretakers hid inside houses, shops and the cathedral, but you don't know for sure. What you know is that the Sheriff took the militia out, fully armed, to face the little invaders.
I think it’s time for me to admit that this just isn’t a priority right now. I’ve been on the forums for nearly four years, and the oldest game I’ve GMed is 3 years, 2 months old. I’ve played a lot of cool characters, but my heart just isn’t in it at this point in my life, and it’s unfair to everyone to wait for me to not post, so I’m going to drop my games for the time being.
The games I’m in right now are really cool, and it’s got nothing to do with them, or with their pacing. I’ve enjoyed the different characters and the different players. I’m currently working on dealing with depression, and as I come out of that, with moving into a new career path that’s more fulfilling than what I’m doing right now. I’ve also reconnected with some old friends, and am spending more free time doing things with them.
There may come a time when I’m back on the forums, and when I am, if you’re interested in having me back, I’d love to rejoin. It’s been fun, and I’ll see you all around.
Thanks for the games.
I'm sad to see you go, Ileyna, but I understand needing time away. Thank you for telling us, and best of luck for all of your future adventures!
So, both this table and the other one have had some players going away and rythm slowing a bit down. Most of the rhythm is my fault as I struggle at university, and I take full responsibility. But I want to reassure you that I'm not going to disappear without a word, and I'm sticking with you as long as possible.
As for the dwindling numbers, there is a player in the other table who suggested merging: would you like that? It would make for one group to handle instead of two, and while they are a bit ahead of you we could easily weave you together.
Would you like that?
If it will help you out I'm all for it.
Same here
Sure, if it makes things easier.
How far ahead are they? A couple of days?
Might be good if we had an "introduction" or something?
They have done two minor sidequests, chronologically they are like six hours ahead of you. I was thinking about having you find information through another sidequest, so that you'd meet following the same lead, organically; this would cause you to miss on those two small quests, however, so you may want to play them as well and have the other players re-play that part, or meet up later.
As for who they are, Andi is a Swarm Monger Druid with claws and several cats, Empheria is a pyromaniac Sphere Sorcerer Gnome, and Vorin is a Drow Swashbuckler (Inspired Blade).
Hey everyone, apologies for my absence, family emergency precipitated some drama and kept me off the boards for a bit, but I'm back now if you'll still have me.
Additionally, I would be happy to combine the tables!
Skipping ahead to meet up with them sounds like the best option for keeping everyone engaged.
Also, did you have a response to Isaac’s desire to ‘grow up’ to medium size?
Sorry, your request slipped my mind. The professor will start working on upgrades for your body, but it will take some time.
As for the merge, this is the address of the other table. I'm writing you an introductory post so that you can meet up at the Rusty Dragon.
Cool, I’ll get a post up over there in a moment
Is Sammy making the jump with us?
I marked Sammy as MIA for the moment, as it's been a small while she hasn't posted.
Sammy, if you're here just get to the other table and I'll add you to the roster.
