So did Roland get the necklace?
Gromff Hammerhand |
Just checking. Your character sheet on your profile doesn't show it but the line under you name does.
Tessandriel Siannodel |
I hope my role-playing Tessandriel's favored enemy is not stepping on any toes here. For Tess the devils are not to be joked about, only killed. I am indeed having much fun, especially with the dwarf and the foot comments. :)
Gromff Hammerhand |
You have no idea how fun it is being a surly dwarf. After reading the Drizzt series I have a lot to work off of.

Bruenor is the best dwarf ever, in the history of dwarfdom.
Followed closely by Athrogate, Jarlaxle's friend.Gromff Hammerhand |
If I could come up with witty rhymes I would do Athrogate bu alas I cannot.
Gamemaster Zedth |
I didn't want to presume to choose your actions, are you guys entering the secret passage?
Roland, just Roland |
Yes please. Roland will call the others, specially Tessandriel who seems to be delivering a baby, to see what they discovered and get in the place. Perhaps they want to detect magic first, but I don't know.
Gromff Hammerhand |
Should have made that more obvious. Yes, I want to explore the cave of strange fog and glowing runes. Wait. Yes, still want too.
Gromff Hammerhand |
I guess my ring does the same as Roland's? Ring of Protection +1 plus more to come? Cause there is no way I am not holding on to this forever.
Tessandriel Siannodel |
Sorry I haven't been posting much. The weekend is my time to get major errands done and I had a lot to do. Things have been slow for me at work so I will use that time to get up to speed.

You're fine Tess, weekends are "bonus" game time as far as I'm concerned. Most PbPost games are Mon-Fri, and that is what I asked for when this game started. No one is required to post on weekends.

Hey, how are you guys,
I will have a very busy week. I will try checking the game every day, but if you do not hear from me, don’t, you know.
:)
Catcher |
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. GM please help me!!!
She is innocent! And pure! Do not let that barbarian near her!

From reading your backstory, I'm not sure how pure you are... LOL
Catcher |
Well, now you know why I had a dagger from the start! :P
Chezarion |
Well, I can't teach you how to use a greatsword, and I don't think Gromff can either. That leaves Tessandriel as a potential teacher. But I haven't known my half sister long enough to know for sure which way she swings. You could be going from the frying pan into the fire! :-)
Roland, just Roland |
"Yes yes, I'll give you some greatsword handling classes..." *evil grin*
Congratulations on your very first map!! It looks pretty good!
Gromff Hammerhand |
Before we begin. 2 things.
1)Is the baby in the mother's square?
2)How do I disarm the mother of her baby?
Gromff Hammerhand |
Roland just won dark thought of the day.
Chezarion |
Granted that the baby is obviously evil, but the mother arguably is not or the cave would have responded sooner. I would suggest pummeling the mother for nonlethal damage and hitting the baby as hard as possible any time anybody gets a clear shot at it.
Roland, just Roland |
Aye, Roland will get a clear shot at it soon enough. His instant thoughts took him to a dark conclusion: Who's the father?
So, the woman will not receive mercy, if it comes to him...
Gamemaster Zedth |
Setting aside the flavor text, the baby and the mother are now considered to be in separate 5' squares. They are just as they appear on the map.
Its hard to see now since they're covering it, but they are on a raise stone "bed" where she gave birth to the child a little while ago. Assume the baby was set down by its mother and it is now standing on the end of the "bed."
I'm sad that nobody "lol'd" at my baby icon. My wife and I got a good laugh when I selected it!
Chezarion |
As I see it the question isn't so much who the father was as whether or not the mother was willing and knew what she was getting into. If she was raped and/or deceived then that's a different kettle of fish than if she had willingly given herself to evil.
Catcher |
Well. It seems Catcher will have to take some safety measures actions.
If any of you awake missing anything… you know already.
P.S. I lol'd the baby picture.
Catcher |
I took some liberty to copy map tags for your chars and put then in your map. If you don't like it, just delete them :D
Gromff Hammerhand |
I know Google docs is probably more convenient but can we use something else? I do a lot of posting during downtime at work but I can't pull up google docs there.
Gamemaster Zedth |
I'm open to suggestions Gromff. I'm new to posting anything online of this fashion, so if we pick something new there will be a learning curve for me.
Right now G-docs is the simplest solution to the problem, without me having to invest time and/or money in a new software. But I am open to suggestions if you have an alternative.
Gamemaster Zedth |
Couple of things:
Everyone please make sure to update your character sheets and your header with your updated AC from your Ring of Prot +1. For quick reference I use your brief stats in your header. (the one that is below your name in every post)
Party treasure: Gromff, I see you are holding the party loot for now. You have written down "Gems (2) 200gp", it should be "small handful of semi-precious gems worth 100gp"
Gromff Hammerhand |
In all the games I am in right now only Roll20 works and even then I have seen it stall a couple of times. Its not too big of deal since I saw the map before coming in to work so I know everyone's beginning position and I can extrapolate from there.
Roland, just Roland |
Hey Gromff, take a look if you can open and move the tokens at This board.

Alias updated. :)

1 person marked this as a favorite. |
I would rather not use my facebook account to log into anything.
Roland, just Roland |
Well, I log in with my google account (which you can easily create) but otherwise I don't know what option can we use. We can use roll20. Do you know how that works, gm?
For you to take a look at it, you will need to register on the site. Then try to open this campaign (it is not mine, I'm just a player there). Roll20 is a very good game handler, which can use complex light sources, roll dice, keep initiative up to date, and hide/show tokens according to what the players see. It takes some time to load, and its a little tough to learn how to begin, but it is a nice option.
Catcher |
I can't use rolld20. I don't mind you using, but I'm unable in most of my posting time.

Like I said the only place I can't look at it is at work, not that big of an inhibitor and I am perfectly fine with the DM moving my character as he see's fit in case what I want to do is not possible.
Side question what is the mother doing?
Gamemaster Zedth |
As mentioned in the gameplay thread, everyone can level up to level 2! woohoo!!
Please roll your hit dice here in this thread. Don't fret if you roll low, per my house rules you get at least 1/2 of your hit die when you level up.

Gamemaster Zedth |
Gromff,
Assume that everyone has enough time to cast spells, fully rest, and prepare new fresh spells before you leave the cave. Factor that into any decisions. Only a couple of you were harmed from the fight, and you already channel healed them.
Brielle appears to have been healed, probably by Meldara.
Chezarion,
Those are fair questions, I'm at work right now and I don't have my notes or enough time to have Meldara answer you properly. I will give you your answers asap.
Everyone,
I post often, obviously, more so than most PbPost GMs I've seen, and it is fun that all/most of you have been able to also post several times a day with me. I don't want you to feel like you have to though. The original rules were once a day, minus weekends.
If any of you feel like I'm moving too fast, or you don't have time to keep up, let me know in the thread or by PMessage. I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable with the game flow.
I will be busy tonight with my wife. We have family coming in town and we have errands that need doing. I don't know if I will be able to make any further posts tonight or tomorrow morning. In order to properly discuss the next steps of the adventure, I will need time at home with notes and such, so I probably won't have another meaty-informative post until tomorrow evening. (Thursday 6-7pm PST or so).
I'll still check in though. If you have any level-up questions or other concerns, send me a message or write in the discussion thread.
