The hey group. I have partially healed off of wands. But I don't want to burn through resourced too quickly. Thoughts moving forward?
I know Ratel has taken quite the beating too.
Once the fortress is clear, I've no objections to a rest.
Rest here or else where? Hedran would like very much to copy a few spells, like haste (for next level).
An easily secured position, I should think.
Here's good enough. We can stay near the Korred with the spellbook, maybe rebuild some of the fortifications (though probably not).
The korred with the spellbook will let you copy his spells, but will NOT share his living space with you. He values his privacy. You may snooze in any room other then the forge and his workshop.
If you want something to be done, like questioning korreds/inviting people to Misthome, just do it instead of saying it. If it needs a diplomancer I'll tell you.
- Ask about the dangers in the area and if there are any hidden dangers here.
- Invite the Wizard to Misthome as it may be safer and he is more likely to find other people to admire his work.
I prefer if you put it in gameplay thread, preferably RP the whole thing out next time, but I've carried out your instructions.
That was bold and in quotes. Herdan was, in character, suggesting a series of actions to the group.
The time question was so I can RP it.
Go ahead and do it in gameplay to your party, I'll erase the response then.
It also strikes me as a bit odd that most of the time (except for Grenwold) you start talking to NPCs without actually introducing yourselves, but since some of the NPCs are not exactly normal (or have other things on their mind), if you don't introduce your names, they usually don't bother introducing themselves as well.
It's common screen writing shorthand that greatings and introductions are often assumed to happen off screen. This is done because they often carry no story weight while taking up valuable time. I basically assume the same things in my games so I don't have to spend time role playing intros all the time.
I do not assume that because names are power. So an omission is deliberate because you're trying to indicate you do not want to be contacted or have information found out about you in the future.
Also spells such as sending, scrying base on the familiarity with the creature, of which names play a part.
So there is significance to not introducing your name. Some NPCs may read it as a form of you being guarded and not be as open with you, and similarly will reciprocate without telling you their names either.
As a GM, I am happy to RP as many intros as you want(I have crazy activity on my awake time and this is an RPG) and I could do the happy yak all day, though if you insist I can just do it barebones and get the message across.
Also I don't assume players said or did anything generally unless it's in gameplay thread just to prevent anyone claiming later, no I never said that. You have the right to tell NPCs only what you want them to hear, granted some sneaky ones will try to eavesdrop extras, but that's perception on their end.
Different styles. Though it's good to know what types of thing may have consequences in your games. I'm happy to adjust to the style.
For Scrying the catagories are pretty clear. First hand is first hand. I guess I could image very narrow scenario where you know someone well but they lied about their name so it takes you from familair to first hand. Ultimate Intrigue has three pages on how to run divination I use those as appropriate and constraints. I found them to be really helpful.
For sending 'they know it's you if they recognize you' so that covered. Recognition happens magically. Ultimate Intrigue covers this as well, known is, "met in person and recognizes on sight."
For me it has nothing to do with capacity it's whether it adds the the fun of the game for my players.

Yep. Seems reasonable.
Office party! Afk
Finished partying. I think.
Grenwold will RP inviting the korred to Misthome, I was just trying to get concurrence from the group before he did. He likes the non-corrupted fey!

Mort is nice enough to allow us to resolve things through “earlier” so we don’t have to delay combat for RP reasons, so if you miss something, just tag when you talked to someone. It’s not a perfect solution, but the vagaries of PbP means that it’s often better than the alternative of waiting on a response. That said, things sometimes get lost, but I try my best at least to respond in character to any questions or queries. :)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Yes Happy Thanksgiving, how was the 'office party'?
Well, I'm mildly embarrassed, I took Ratel the wrong way. I didn't see the giant plant outside the wall, I saw the creature up by the gates and thought that was what we were fighting. Couldn't figure out why the only cattle were out of the wall. I hope it's ok that I moved Ratel toward the monster, couldn't remember my exact location so I moved him to the edge of the rubble, looks to be between forty and fifty foot.
Is the party back up?
I just organized a nice office Thanksgiving party with the help of colleagues. One of the upper management complimented me on the choice of food =D
Again what do you expect when you send the local greedy guts to go get lunch ;)
I can say I personally tried every single type of classic wing from wingstop(the place I got wings for the office party) before and no matter what the Italians say about Hawaiian pizza... You can never go wrong with that^^
Yeah, party is back up. Sorry. Earlier edit I did put party up but I must have taken it off on the later one.
You need to ask a Canadian about Hawaiian pizza if you want an expert.
I didn't get a chance earlier, but Happy Thanksgiving!

I won a chance to try beatsaber at the local shopping mall by spending enough moolah.
I just watched videos of people playing beatsaber on YouTube. Let's hope I don't embarrass myself too much. And make my try at beat Saber last as long as possible. Since I'm assuming you get to try only until you lose the level.
I've never done dance dance revolution nor have I had much luck at rhythm games in the arcade since I'm a clumsy fk.
Hedran - note what I said about spell copying timings - you have 5h to copy stuff, so if you want to get haste, you only get 2 level 1 spells since each level of a spell you take an additional hour.
Thank for the reminder. Haste, burning hands and blade Tutor's Spirit for the time being.
I prep'd more contingency spells today. I had been riding with the previously prepared spells before let's see how they go.
I think Fenton should have acted in the surprise round. It has the bodyguard archetype.
On the topic of animals, if they are set to guard and detect creatures like this with scent how would they go about 'prevent[ing] creatures from approaching'?
He wouldn’t have done much other than move maybe, but he didn’t take any damage, so I think it’s a moot point (unless I missed something).
It may be difficult terrain here so in that case, it would not do much. If it's not 5ft step and an attack. In other situations, it could mean partial charge so an extra attack, threatening casters etc.
You also can’t charge past allies iirc.
Of course, that's why I said, "in other situations."
Oooh bodyguard archetype takes away evasion. Ok, I'll make note of that for next time.
Anyway, if you have issues with traveling formation please fix it in Slide 19.
I assume default of melee at front, archers in the middle, somewhat and animal companions at the back.
Thanks for botting Ratel Mort, I got on later than usual, due to company.
I'm not seeing the fey on slide 19, but I didn't see the big plant on the last one, I don't know if it's my computer or not. I will be back on in a couple/three hours.
If others are posting, don't wait on me, please go ahead and post Ratel's attack again, thanks!
Fey is dead, I could move you on but I'm waiting for Hedran to rearrange party formation. Combat is over.
It's not my decision it was brought up in character and should be dealt with there. Hedran said a few days ago he wanted to talk preparations with the group not unilaterally make decissions.
That's a good idea, I'll do a post.
Sorry I did not want the suggestions to slow the game I know Mort likes to keep pace. I'm fine with rolling with it how it is until people have time to chime in with opinions.
Litejedi thank you for endulging the RP.
Considering how much of dnd is improv, it’s appropriate to “Yes, and” other people’s suggestions.
Agreed! It's a huge part of what makes RPGs fun.
Inquisitors don't get air walk.
Also when I was saying party formation, rearrange it in Slide 19 if you so choose else next random encounter will still start in the same party formation.
I don't want any complaints of, hey, I said we were to change formation, how come we're still in the same formation.
Thus I do not wish to move things until combat formation is settled.
Also for planar focus air, you will need a way to move yourself while you're in the air. Using your glaive like a canoe paddle would work, I suppose.
From levitate:
You cannot move the recipient horizontally, but the recipient could clamber along the face of a cliff, for example, or push against a ceiling to move laterally (generally at half its base land speed).
Oh, you’re right. Well, maybe there’s some way to get flight. I could theoretically get a flying mount. Not sure if there are any good medium-sized ones.
There are some good ones depending on level. There is a heron that is good right out the gate.
@ Mort I already said I on with carrying on until the group has had input.
