Kingmaker: The Stolen Lands [Gestalt]

Game Master Æroden

So first off, do you all know of each other? If not, you are to meet the representative of the Dragonscale Throne in the Dragon's Draught. This is an inn barely North of the South Rostland Road, some 30 miles away from the last scene of civilization Oleg's Trading Post before the Stolen Lands.

Well it seems like 3 of are us tied via the Lebeda household at least, and Fizz was tied to me through our Caravan travels, and Fionn through Vik. Who am I missing?

Well it looks like you are all tied together pretty well, the only thing to figure out is who is with who, and who gets to the Dragon's Draught first?

Well Vik may alread be in Restov. I can see that the SwordLord there, Jamandi Aldori, would have given him access to the charter. I cannot see it having come from House Lebeda.

You are correct Vik, you may be the transporter of the official Charter if you choose. Or, you may escort him/her. What do you think?

Well thus far due to Lebeda ties I'm connected to everyone but Fizz at least slightly. Sajan is distantly related, Cousin through my adoption, so whether he fully remembers me is up to him. Vik was the trainer for my family a few years back and has less then fond memories of Alexandra :) An incident where during sparing she lost her temper and unleashed a "shocking" punch. And I'm Fionn's ward, so he's sworn to me. It really worked out quite well, and I'm talking with Fizz but I think he's happy just coming along with Sajan, which works just fine with me.

So with that in mind I would be with Fionn and my entourage and would most likely arrive last as I have people to tend to me and groups always move slower.

No worries, I wouldn't know either. First Kingmaker game for me.

But I think Vik is right, it would make the most sense for him to receive the charter, as both Alexandra and I are the 'enemy'.

Sure Vik would love to be the bearer of the charter. It somewhat legitimizes him in the eyes of the Swordlords and House Lebeda. Also please see PM I sent about possible small changes to character.
thanks

Well in your case Sajan we are more 'birds of a feather', but he really doesn't not think much of Alex!!

That's alright with me, as well.
Nice ta see ye prickly bastards again!

I was wondering if I could have one of you help me bookkeep, not for sure what it will entail just yet, but as I look through the material I may need some help, looking for interest.

Well I'm always happy to volunteer since you've got plenty on your plate. PM me if you get details you want sorted and I can let you know for sure.

Is there anyway to know when someone has posted besides refreshing? such as with your phone, an app, or such?

I have discussion board and gameplay board set up as rss feeds, not instant but pretty close

Can I link it to my phone? Not a smart phone..

Probably not...could be wrong, depends on the phone model I guess

Rss?
And how would I do that?

Yeah RSS feeds,

Those small orange icons at the top of the page on the right, there is one for the gameplay thread, one for discussion,and one for recruitment (next to the facebook and twitter icons).

You can either set them up in your browser (firefox allows you to set them up as a dropdown bookmark), an application, or you can set it up to google reader I think as well.

sorry to be late to the party, i did not see that post that the gameplay and discussion were up until just now

DM made the change you suggessted. Currently i am out of the USA on the other side of the planet, so my posting is at a wierd time right now, and I am about to turn in for the night, but I made Fizzy's big entrance

Just stopping in to see how things are going. Looks like you guys are off and running in the Dragon's Draught. Careful in that place...

LOL, don't give away my secrets...

traveling day for me tomorrow, might get a post or two in, but might not. 18 hours of flying

That's quite a flight, ouch!

Alright, I'm at work now, and its a Friday night so it should be a little busy, but I'll be updating as much as possible!

Anyone know how to change the GM alias at the top to a different Alias?

good rumors! once the deal with these approaching bandits is dealt with i will share some of that

If I need to elaborate on something just tell me, your combined total of information:
4 hazards: Quicksand, moving vines, nesting beasts(wyrms, animals, dire), thorn bushes, razor grass

6 landmarks
Bokkens hut – old man is good with potions.
Rickty bridge – bad place, can cross but bad thing comes from the water to stop biggies from traveling over.
A very old castle – skeletons and zombies keep up the caslte so there is very little degeneration.
A big ruin of a castle – fresh palasades, strange biggies and many biggies.
An old beacon used as a watch tower, bottom of map.

Creatures: boggards, Trolls, Vermin – spiders, centipedes, Kobolds, Mites, Lizardfolk

Where men gather: North camp, The Glenebon Uplands: The westernmost quadrant of the stolen lands

DM can you put the link to the map in the campaign info? I am having a tough time finding it again

Will do Fizzy, here it is too... Oleg's Map

you are a gentleman and a scholar!

Wow that is a fantastic Map! really puts me to shame lol

Just taken from the PDF, no crafting on my part.

I know I have not been the best example, but what happened to at least 5 posts a day? Has anyone heard from Sajan?

I am not for sure about your schedules but the Tuesday and Friday will likely be slow days for me. Don't you just love it when your schedule changes? Do we want to make it just two posts for Saturday and two more for Sunday, or just one a day?

What are your busy days?

I think sajan has bailed. I am trying to post whener something has occurred, but I have not made 5 per day

I can understand that Alexandra has kinda set the pace for us, going on her own and having you stand guard, and in those instances it is fine.
I have sent Sajan a message and no response, do we want to replace the open slot or just go with what we have?
I would like to see more people doing interactions for roleplaying purposes. Anyways just do your best and on with the show...

Sorry about that all, if I'm getting too active just let me know as I feel that way sometimes and I hate to take over everyone's game :(

No that is fine Alexandra, I would hope that others would be more active like you and Fizzy.

I am sorry but it is difficult to be active when there is an army of NPC's around to do the work. Vik is a fighter, but we have a whole army travelling with us, so he really has nothing to do. As Alexandra has control of all these extras, it is difficult for me to see a role for Vik, as he is not a noble, and in fact dislikes them, while the rest of the party is part of Alexandra's entourage...
I am not being bitter or saying I dislike the game or anything like that, but I am having a hard time justifying my characters role in this group, that is all....Alex is doing a great job as the spoiled princess, and Fizzy is a hoot!!!! Even Fionn acts as the commander of her troops...it does not really leave a niche for Vik to fill....

I HAVE IT

Vik I dub thee Captain of the Fizzwiddle Guard!

Kneel...better go prone you are still too tall.

HAHAHAHA....it he was not such a stick in the mud that would be awesome!!!!

LOL, yeah I see your point Vik, but the NPC will likely stay at the outpost once the bandits are dealt with, or likely will be dead. We will see, you all might want to recruit a healer NPC, for Fizzy is the only one with much healing....dum dum dum...

Yeah I know..and I know Vik will get more 'face' time once we start fighting and such...but as for posting right now...well there is not too much Vik has to say at the moment....but when he does...look out lol

I was thinking about that but where do you find a mute healer? Giving lines to all these minions is giving me a headache. I'm sorry to hear that Vik, you will find your place, and the NPC's will become background fixtures for the outpost momentarily, have no worries.

Oh I know, and it must be hard to keep up with all those 'extras'. Like I was saying, Vik will get his chance but for the time being he will just bid his time and wait for Alex to fall flat on her face...then he will graciously point it out to her!!lol he really does not like nobility!!

LOL, a noble and her onteroge, and a noble hater. Just seems ironic.

See if we can get a new player from the boards

and i really think that you should think abot it Vik, there are many perks in the order of the Fizz

well tell me about the perks....free healing?!?!

I love the theme, it's good to have someone willing to tell Alexandra what a flighty bird she is. I second the vote to replace (perhaps temporarily) Sajan, preferably with a full healer or a non-social rogue (we have two faces, two tanks, a half-healer [no offense Fizz] and an arcane already so those are the only two spots we really might need filled).

is that a short joke!

Wellll...pie is good!!! Wait!! What kind of pie!! Not a cow pie is it!! I'm not falling for that again!!
A full healer would be nice...
