Definitely something I had considered. I'm perfectly happy to keep you guys together for ease, speed, and convenience, even if the narrative flow seems to call for something else. Maybe if you guys professed a wish to work together because you have been through a lot and trust each other?
Posting little interim things as I'd hoped to have everyone weigh in with their decisions (and maybe get some player discussion going on about the choices). Going to shoot Logan a PM to see what's up.
I say stick the group together. Logan definitely trusts his fellow prisoners over the pirates.
Sorry it has been a bit hectic on my end and trying to post once a day at least.
Also recently I just didn't have much to say or to have input to post.
Sorry everyone, I have been rather busy this week and dead tired. I actually got some good sleep on Thursday, I crashed from 4 p.m. to about noon on Friday. Then Halloween showed its ugly head and life sucked me away again. Yes it was a long week. I am just catching up and hope to keep things going smoothly this weekend and the days following. Please forgive me and on with the games.
Aforementioned crappy map is up at the link "The War Camp."
Checking OOC first
the supplies we found through the secret door had a bunch of healing things.
As I recall, we left most of them just inside there on the theory they would be found and confiscated.
Tyrus is looking to suggest that some of them could be used here. He's lost two patients already.
Clarification:
(1) making sure we did leave the supplies behind
(2) Not really expecting people to go "yes". Bunch of bad reasons for it, but Tyrus isn't callous enough yet to accept patients die.
(3) If people really don't want me to get T asking the question I can skip it.
What did we do with what we found?
Luca still has her plant. Not sure about the rest. XD
As far as I remember, you did indeed leave the majority (minus Luca's plant) of the items in the hidden tunnels.
Am I safe in thinking that everyone is content to go with Dante's plan to set a trap on the hill?
Yeah.
Tyrus wants to camp in one of those nice defensive dwarven buildings.
He's not planning to be out here at night.
Dante seems to know what he's doing, whereas Tyrus knows he (Tyrus) is not.
Sounds like it could work.
I certainly have no objections. ^^
So did Tyrus want to converse?
It's time for another of Mercy's (possibly overly-complicated) skill challenges! Ask any questions if you're confused.
I accept Dante's plan and concede to Tyrus if he wants the magical healing concoction to heal.
Sorry folks I have been out of it with lots of RL stuff going on, let alone working long hours and trying to get enough sleep. I hope to be around more, like I had posted earlier.
Welcome back Logan, and glad to see you returned before the next battle. Er, not that there's certain to be a battle SOON, of course...
Also, good timing. Was busy most of today and normally would have posted the next round before you could participate!
Hah, unplanned delay. Power went out at my place while I was writing the next post, and the site has been down for maintenance for awhile. Should be coming soon!
Gorramnit! Was called into work. Still intending to get it up today-ish (by 3 am?)
I'm probably talking mostly to myself at this point, but this time of night is not good for make brain think. Our story continues tomorrow.
nope. not talking to yourself. Only 9pm here :)
I'm just waiting for that update, I guess. XD And plotting strategies. And hoping I can remember my options...
Battle soon... Of course, there are goblins in those there hills!
LOL ;)
With all my gear back, Logan also takes a few minutes to make sure all his weapons are sharpened with his whet stone... +1 damage!!! For first hit. Most are likely still sharpened.
Hey, for all you know it could be DAYS before goblins attack you... ;)
Then we would have days to work on preparations then... Please let it be so!
As it turns out, I am going to be pretty busy for the Thanksgiving Holiday week here in the states, and so I'm going to announce a 1-week hiatus for this game. We'll resume Monday, December 1st.
Sure: Have a happy thanksgiving :)
Happy thanksgiving (or at least, happy week!) to you all as well. I figured it'd be better to pause now than after the combat got started.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! I'll have Luca conjure up a B(yakhee) L(loigor) T(sathoggua) sandwich for each of you!
We're back. Hope everyone had a good holiday if you celebrated it, or just a good week otherwise.
New map is up, take a look and ask any questions you have on what it shows. We are not technically in combat right now as the enemy are still staying out of the reach of the torch light and posturing (roaring, shrieking, etc). You can take two rounds of actions right now and be sure that they will not be interrupted.
It was... interesting. XD Still, welcome back, and let's get this started!
Logan: you were looking for mage armour?
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Much fun and time with family, back to the grind and hopefully I will have time for my games!
Question, is Logan still awake? Did Dante answer Logan earlier?
If he was sleeping, once he wakes up he is donning his armor which will take at least 10 rounds hastily, or 40 rounds normally.
On the new map do we have the ruins on the map or off map? Are there any other structures in the site?
Likely Tyrus will see Logan struggling with his armor and if he offers mage armor instead he will leave the scalemail. We just need to RP it out. Also I need to know what situation he is currently in.
he being Tyrus or Logan?
There is lots of shouting and shrieking going on. As far as the GM is concerned you are all easily going to wake up. If you think your character is an especially deep sleeper, feel free to make any self-imposed rolls that you wish. ;)
Whoops, didn't address all questions:
Logan: The ruins are off the map to the south. If you guys are pushed that far I will expand the map to encompass that part of the camp. Everything you need to be concerned with right now is on the map.
Enlarge Person: +2 str, -2 dex, -1 size on ac, -1 size on attacks, melee damage up one category (so 2d6=>3d6). Kicks in at the start of next round.
I believe we decided that the healing supplies were all hidden away and inaccessible, so Tyrus will not be using them.
As of today, I've asked Logan to step out of the campaign due to haphazard activity. Don't like doing it, but planning a campaign is hard when you don't know how many characters will be active in the party! :)
For In-Characters purposes, I'll probably just have Logan join/become one of the pirates, as he seemed amenable to that possibility.
That said, next round incoming...
Note to self: Try to get to level 3 as soon as possible and begin summoning even more minions. That ought to help balance the loss a bit.
*Anticipation intensifies*
That's a hard thing to have to do. I'll miss Logan but I can see why you had to do it.
This has meant Logsan's just sort of standing there enlarged.
Is it possible to (A) change his icon to Large and B) have him reinforce the pirates where the goblins are climbing the wall.
Half Tyrus' magic is going into buffing Logan - I'd prefer to see it actually get some use.
That is unfortunate but understandable. Hope Logan has no hard feelings. Are we gonna find another or muscle on with the three of us. Any lurkers out there?
Unless you guys strongly desire finding another fourth player, I think we can stick with three for at least the duration of this adventure. Following that, and assuming you guys would like to stick with me and with the world of Eldreon, we can decide whether you want to find more players.
I'd like to stick with you!
My only worry about holding off on a fourth is that it might be harder to make links with someone once we're further progressed.
I'm fine either way. ^^
Missing today as I've been feeling unwell. Also, Tyrus - forgive me, I'd forgotten about your spell use on Logan. I'm going to GMPC Logan at least until your spell wears off him, and he'll basically follow any directions you want to give him.
Sorry to hear you're not feeling well. Is it winter where you are? I always get sick in winter :(
Regarding Logan, I'm thinking if we can have him fight for this combat we throw him into the breach (or at least, breach-too-be) with Dante. Not sure the guys getting pounded by Luca's summoned army are going to be in much shape to do much!
It is indeed winter here in Michigan. Whatever the cause was, I'm feeling much better now. New post incoming!
As to the question of forming connections - you're characters aren't likely to get too far into third level by the end of this adventure, so you won't be terribly far along.
Hey guys, sorry I missed a couple days. I wasn't originally intending to do our Holiday Break until after this week, but it looks like my year-end insanity is ratcheting up rather quickly this time around. Thus, we are already on a semi-break, meaning: I don't know if I'll have time to get another post up.
I will try, but you guys are under no obligation to post until Monday, January 5th. I will have our next round up by then. :) Hopefully you guys won't forget the plot in the mean time!
Happy holidays to you all, and I'll see you in the new year.
Understood! ^^ Enjoy your holidays, GM, and I'll be around when you get back.
