Gameplay is open for dotting!

Checking in.

Dot. I think I am suppose to tell you that I have played and run First Steps before. Its been close to a year since either though.

With First Steps, it "almost" a given.

cuatroespada checking in.

Once Turk and Parumartish post in Gameplay, I'll move us forward.

yeah, sorry about that. only just noticed gameplay was up. is it still too late to switch to my bard (archaeologist)?

Nope.

Sorry, long weekend. We'll get started here shortly.

A map of Absalom is up with locations marked. Let me know where you are going first.

I need to mention that I'll be out of the country on vacation from the 6th through the 15th. I'll have a laptop with me but am not sure how often I'll have internet so my posting could be interrupted, but i hope not too much.

Yep, yep! We'll take care of ya.

sorry i haven't been posting. i just suddenly decided i didn't like the name Boston and am trying really hard to come up with one i like before i run out of posts with him.

could she have taken 10?

To be clear, Turk is fine with Giving her Guidance after the fact, or if the act would have taken long enough that he would have seen what she was about and and had time to do so. Everyone, please ask for a Guidance before any skill check that is not rushed/time critical.

yeah, unless your character is just really impulsive (and even then though obviously you might not do it), it's generally a good to communicate with the party before doing things. sometimes other people can help! :D

Right. Never forget to ask for assists. Most PBP DMs will allow it after the fact but most table top judges will not.

Yep, I'll allow it. And yes, we're not in combat, so Taking Ten is ok.

Sorry I will try to remember to ask next time and yes I should have taken 10 on this.

Its an intro. Part of the mod is learning to work as a team. :)

Obviously every game is different, but is it considered acceptable in Organized Play to refer to events from an earlier session in a later session when there are characters in common?

Yeah, that's fine.

i should hope so. otherwise our characters only exist in a vacuum and that's boring. though i can see how it might get weird if we ran the same scenario at different times.

Are we rushing the game? I do not mean to be and could slow down if people want to slow the pace. I was thinking everyone had agreed to try to post daily.

no, not at all. but it's been less than a day since the last GM post, which was mad in the middle of the night for me (so i was already at work, got home around 3am and went to bed until a little bit ago). i would love to post, but any action i take now seems redundant with what you two are already doing. so i'd have posted today, but now it seems pointless. that's all. not blaming anyone.

Just jump in. I think our DM is allowing for disjointed posting.

fair enough. just thinking like a kid. this many grown-ups roll up on me at once and i'm gonna get really nervous.

Sorry didn't mean to leave you out

yeah, it's all good. on my phone now so it's hard to post.

Chandler, go ahead and talk to them. I will try to assist you after you post.

yeah, intimidate wouldn't have been my first choice, but that's what it seemed like. anyway, it's a relatively easy check anyway. in retrospect i don't inow if i have enough luck to use it for that check.

Sorry for the radio silence this weekend. We were supposed to just drive up to Indy on Sat. and drive back home, but it turned out that we stayed and didn't get home until last night. Then I come down with food poisoning/a stomach bug. Ugh!

ugh, no good. hope you're feeling better.

I have been there. I hope you are feeling better!

sorry, guys. very long weekend. will post later.

No problem, same here.

Well, he couldn't very well risk spilling tea on his nice clean spiked scale mail, now could he?

lol Yea this is about to get very silly.

This is the second time I have done this module and I still dont know what is really going on at the orphanage!

I have run it, so I know. But that is the only way I know. Likely its best to must move along. I am not sure we have enough information to pass judgement.

Chandler intends to report exactly what he saw. Baltwin is a cantankerous, old hag who is very likely scamming several charities and selling the extra medicine, but as far as he could tell she cares about the safety of the children... even if it's only because they are profitable to her.

GM Tektite if you want to just say we visited the temple and moved on thats fine with me. I dont want to hold everyone up.

Either way is fine. I was gone Fri.-Tue. on a spring break trip with family and was unable to update. I will have one up in a bit.

I just wanted to make sure I wasn't holding eveyone else up.

I will be leaving around lunch time to head to a small con that I'm the PFS organizer for. I will gone all evening and all day tomorrow, but will resume posting on Sun. If I have an opportunity to post from my mobile, I will.

Have fun!

Happy Easter everyone!
GM Tektite I hope you have a blast at your convention!

Quick Note: I'm taking my kids camping today. Most likely, will not have any meaningful posts up until Sun. evening.

Not sure about the convention. That was a couple weekends ago.

Sorry I didnt mean to post before my turn. Please count it as the attack on my init. Thanks

I will be gone, yet again, this weekend. Leaving in an hour and will return tomorrow night. I'll update tomorrow night.
