Ice's Island of Relative Order

Game Master icehawk333

Ah well, thats why we ate a party, to cover each others weaknesses :)

Oops! Ah, well that mistake is too funny to correct :)

We're not corrupted enough for that yet! =P

Alchemist's fire. Never leave home without it. Though I suspect it might be hard to persuade Gin to make me replacements...

I cannot edit the map? Did you accidentally remove our editing privileges?
I was going to clean it up and update it for our current positions.

Let me see if I can fix it.

Fixed! Apologies.

Map has been updated more, I am in the bottom left section, so I dont know if I can see anything beyond that or if its a dead end (I got a 10 Perception roll).
Also, adjusted light sources for a 10ft radius from me and Rivet.
Quick question: is "D" supposed to be Thorek? Hes the only one unaccounted for (and I dont remember :P)

I'm going to have to assume so now?

We'll just roll with the D being Thorak I guess.

Isn't D for difficult terrain? I mean, Thorek might be there too but the D just tells us there's rocks there.

Good catch! Thorak just hasnt been added to the map yet :)

Hmmm... would people like it if I made a spreadsheet of the weird stuff we've found?

A group inventory would be nice! Hadn't even thought of that.

Here is a first stab at the spreadsheet. I've opened it up to comments to everyone, but if you want to edit directly you can PM me your e-mail address so I can share it with you.

oh yeah!

Oh, GM, would you mind linking it in the campaign's short description at top?

Dome.

Thank you!

I'll be traveling for two weeks starting tomorrow. I don't anticipate being without Internet for more than a day at a time, but it's possible, so if I'm silent for a bit that's why.

Is thorek still here?

Is thorek still here?

He hasn't said anything in quite a while.

Slightly concenrning.

For my own reference, Terran=Hungarian, Ignan=Swahili, Aquan=Maori

Automated translators have some real limits. Not that there's anyone in the world who speaks Maori and not English as far as I know, but it it appears to have used the general form of words (Tenaha) and not the specific (Tēnā koe for a formal greeting to one person).

So I went hunting through his other profiles looking for activity, I found this in one of his other games.

Might be without internet for up to 2 weeks. I'll try to be on as much as I can...

That was on the 21st.

I know about Google translates linits. Im using it for Russian in another game, but you see I dont speak multiple languages. Thus, I put the intened phrase in a spoiler to prevent confusion.

So, Midioto can only speak half of the language, so he is getting fragmented information at best, do you want to come up with the fragmented parts or should I? Or something different?

Did you know Luca is here specifically to translate things the party wants said for that exact reason? 15 languages from a +18 to linguistics, a bonus which he can also use for diplomacy, intimidate and bluff. He's born to do this.

Luca is here to prove that linguistics is a party face skill

He's better than I thought he'd be at exactly the skills he has, and nothing else. Do or do not, he has no try.

Rivet could step in if he had to (he has the equivalent of the tongues spell), but it isn't his inclination to do so. Also he has just the one face skill, diplomacy.

Midioto is not the sort to wait for translation. XD

Luca?

Whoops, thought I posted already.

I have updated the map with an approximation of where each of us are. I moved Rivet and Lwazi about 20ft in and myself at about the edge of vision.
Next person to speak gets his position swapped with me.
I also updated the light sources to reflect about a 10ft radius from me and Rivet.

Quick question, C means collapsed portion of tunnel?
...Did I put us in the right tunnel?

Rereading the begining of this games adventure, I found this :)

..."But still! A dwarven miner and stonemason (he thought proudly), a tengu linguist, a catfolk survivalist, an elven alchemist, and a gobli-...a goblinoid, spellcaster? And a fey ball of teleporting energy. Whatever Mido was."...

A fey ball of teleporting energy indeed!! It made me laugh :)

3rd post in a row, sorry :/
I have also updated the Equipment page after going through everyones profile and re-reading the gameplay thread from the beginning, so it should be pretty accurate. I mostly only included everyones consumables and tools (such as crafting tools).
I may be a bit of a bookkeeper :/

Also, on the map, I included a symbol for Beret and the Elemental.
A thing of note, going through everyones equipment and I noticed that we do not have much food, with some of us having none (me included) :/ We should probably try and fix that soon ^_^
I also added the 3 Goodberries that the GM gave to each of us (at least everyone that took one, I just assumed everyone would have :/) in this post, so that gives us some food.

Lastly, going through everyones inventory, I noticed that just about everyone has a light source of some sort, but so far only me and Rivet are actually using it.
Do you want me to assume that everyone just started using theirs since the beginning? If so, I can readjust the light sources in the map to reflect that.
Not doing so is just as fine too :)

Lwazi has low-light vision and wields a two-handed weapon, so he's been keeping his hands free for fighting and just using other people's light sources.

He does have an everburning torch, though. He'd be willing to let other people borrow it.

The dice definitely like some of my characters more than others. Luca is still no match for my melee-kobolds rolls though.

Since one of the players seems to have vanished from the game, would you all like me to recruit a replacement?

I dunno, on one hand I like groups closer to four myself, and as far as the party goes, we still have a stoneworker.

On the other hand, playing with cool people is always cool.

I will note, said replacement is a close friend in real life.

I'm surely biased, but thier writing tends to be stellar.

I'd be fine with it in that case.

I'm good with someone else joining. Too many people is more a problem in face to face games, it's much easier to get 'screen time' online when you want it.

Well, it isn't screen time I'm concerned about really. Play-by-post has it's upsides, but the one downside that still nags me is "progress time". I don't want anyone here to feel like I'm talking about them specifically, but the more players there are, the more likely we'll be waiting on somebody for days at a time to post. This groups been pretty good about that though, for what that's worth.

If that becomes a problem, I will have no problem botting people.

Well, I guess that means my concerns are addressed then.

I want to see this game finished, not just started and abandoned.

Sounds good to me. I'm fine with it :)

How do you plan on introducing him? (We are on an island ^_^)

Already got some alternate reality stuff planned.

You'll see when it comes time.

... I cannot wait to have the reigns again.

I am sorry
