Hysteresis Loops: The Gion Cover Up (Inactive)

Game Master Terquem

Hey everyone~ I'm going to be gone for the weekend while my family drags me off into the woods.

Just wanted to give a heads up

Can I just say that it was my sincere hope that, somewhere during that rant about good goblins and bad goblins, someone would've asked "Well, what does that make you?"

So that Mog could've answered with, "Good? Bad? Heh! I'm the gob with the gun." :P

Oh, I saw that coming a Mile away, but you can give me some sugar anyway

Just so everybody (and the DM) knows, I've got a much-needed vacation coming up, and am unlikely to post from sometime this Friday afternoon (the 19th) until Tuesday the 23rd (or possibly Wednesday the 24th). Feel free to NPC Surana as necessary during that time, and please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks for the heads up! Well be waiting for your return, have a relaxing Holiday, if you can.

If any of you are in the Boston area, stay safe please!

This is just a reminder that I'm about to leave for vacation and will be back sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week (the 22nd or 24th).

I'm back. :)

Help me to not make a mistake here, please. Do you want to go back to the "T" intersection (which you believe is on the other side of the "doors" in the room you are in now) or explore the room you are in now?

I thought we already checked the current room?

Not at all, as soon as you entered this room, with canopy bed, dressers, wardrobes, Gruul spotted an open trap door on the other side of the bed, and down he and Krevek went. So this room is unexplored (and quite cozy I might add).

Ahh.

Then realizing this room has not been examined, and if noone takes he time while Gruul and I went below, Krevek would look the room over

Look, we all know what happened, right. Gruul and Krevek, being dilligent, went down the tunnel to explore. Surana was left alone in a room with a comfy canopy bed, do the math.

Hey, what're you implying?!

nap time? :)

but yeah, we should search this room. need anything from me? a revised post or search roll?

She wasn't alone

Yellow Nightgown Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Ryko Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

Do you prefer our initiatives over here instead of in gameplay, in the future?

Here keeps the game thread looking nicer, but it works either way. Whatever you are comfortable with is fine with me.

I believe the initiative order is:

Ryko
Moq
Surana
Yellow Nightgown
Krevek
Gruul

Let me get an Alias built for Ryko (I should have done that a long time ago) and I will have him get involved - for now assume he is going to take the Sunrod from Krevek, and step away from the Doorway (he is a coward).

I had forgotten about him, truthfully. Should've tossed him a backpack :)

Moq has an action pending, and Surana can, at least, muse on what she might be thinking of doing. I do not mind ooc discussions about strategy in this thread. I do not expect the players to not talk to one another about how they are going to move around and such (people in a situation such as this would read other people's body language and get a pretty good idea of what was about to happen, don't you think?)

Well, we know I will be up in the things face, bashing it in with my shield.

27 points of damage in one round. That is how a first level party drops a CR 3 wight in a single round (a 26 HP monster)

Yay!

:)

I suppose there's been no further word from our cleric?

No response to two PMs sent. Liked that character a lot, but oh well, *sigh*

Sorry for not filling everyone in about this room. No excuse, just dropped the ball, but I will get it done.

Just not right away. My #2 son is graduating college on Saturday, and Sunday is supposedly some kind of holiday, I don't know, but my wife keeps staring at me like I'm supposed to know what's special about it.

I'll be gone beginning this Thursday around noon and won't be back until Monday night or Tuesday morning.

It's possible that I'll be able to post once a day or so while I'm gone, but not clear at this time.

I am going to be spending this holiday weekend forcing myself to learn how to make maps. I'll try to post sporadically over the next three days, but when Tuesday comes, hopefully, I'll be using maps in all my games.

Awesome! What are you using? I've played around a bit with roll20 and it seems pretty great. The downside for me is I cant access it from work :/

trying MapTools and dropBox

Quick question, is everyone keeping track of Experience points?

As it was given, I recall it being done once? 400.

Okay I am awarding 400 experience points to all characters, now.

Added to sheet.

Added~ That brings Mog up to 650 XP!

If no one has any objections I would like to move the five of you to the basement of the cathedral, where you enter the catecombs.

Surana's going to take her and Krevek's leave of Gruul and meet them in 3-4 days... knowing that they (Surana & Krevek) need to return the way they came or be doomed to an infinite cycle of the same three days over and over again.

Hmmm
I'm not sure I understand what you mean, Surana. It is obvious that you understand that you have traveled back in time, it is "Sunday" afternoon now, and You, Ryko and Krevek entered the catacombs on Wednesday morning.

(I’ll let you try to figure out what day Refan, Ryko and Kyan entered the catacombs)

But what is it, exactly, you are hoping to do, and what is it you are hoping to avoid?

Gruul and Moq, it was Sunday when you entered the catacombs, so you are not aware of any time distortions. If Surana wants to meet with you in three or four days that can be up to you.

If Surana, Krevek and Ryko left the caverns now with Gruul and Mog, they would have to re-enter the caverns three days from now in order to maintain the timeline. If they didn't, they would never have gone back three days, never have met Gruul and Mog, and the universe would be torn asunder by the paradox.

Well that is one possibility, but for the sake of argument, and because Magic is involved what if it doesn't work that way?

In any case you have to decide what is the best thing for you.

Krevek, although by no means a simpleton, is well out of his league on the subject.

It's possible that it could work some other way, but I'm having a hard time fathoming one... let's go with them meeting us the day after we went in (so four days from now).

Okay with me, and I will make sure i create a table to keep track of each pair of you separately over the next four days.

Is that agreeable to everyone?

Okay with me; Krevek and Surana will only have a day to take care of, though, and I imagine it'll mostly be spent in rest and research.

That works for me

So about these Goblins~!

Mog was thinking about giving them some gold, the towel and sheet bag, and sending them to live in the mostly abandoned Precipice Quarter.
