I'd agree with that, Zoisa. Though I suppose something could have died from blood loss and the stirges lost interest.
See ya Reu.
Well, sometimes there's no treasure. But hey, better the monkey did the searching than we did! He doesn't care if he gets messy! :P
Are there five of us in total? Maybe we could match these guys!
Wow...that was underwhelming.
Really? That check seems high enough to indicate that it was probably some kind of badass!
Besides, Kn. (religion) or (planes) might be more appropriate.
Don't quite have those yet! But I will...maybe!
Sorry for the lack of updates, my schedule has me out of the house (and away from my source books) largely from 8:30am - 11:30pm. Goes on for another couple weeks, but should be able to sneak in an update here or there in the meantime.
No worries! Take your time. :)
I just now realize that I freakin LOVE how gnomes can basically talk to any animal they meet (at least once a day)!
Animal friendship! Also, do we get EXP for bypassing what could have been a fight with them?
Of course, keeping track of it all myself. Though to be fair, its more gauge than exact numbers.
Well, they're more like guidelines, really.
Fawziya's awesome! :D
Yay! More orientation shifts at work for me! (sarcasm) But in all seriousness, you will see some slowdown on my part in updates, but please but assured I will not go dark on you or abandon any games. I'll update when I can but between schoolwork, internship work, and work work, I'm gonna be a bit swamped. Should hopefully have more consistent breathing room sometime between one and two weeks.
Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
Work switched me to an overnight schedule temporarily and it's playing havoc with my posting schedule. This week should be better as I adjust, but I figured I should give a heads-up (because I'm terrible about that).
I hear that. I was working for a straight-shot eight days at the hotel, and kind of let my posting slip to get enough sleep to function!
Well...I did have TIME, but it was time without a computer, and posting from a phone sucks.
It really does! Between the hassle of using BBCode tags and always fearing that the forum monster might eat your post for lunch, not to mention how much longer it takes...
The advantage of being a stoner character: failed Perception checks just means you're hallucinating! :P
Come now, there is no challenge this shrine can provide that Fawziya cannot overcome! :D
True, but perhaps she can magnanimously allow us little people a moment to keep up with her. :P
Updates tomorrow, if I don't collapse. (joke, but seriously glad I have tomorrow off-ish)
Take your time, GM. I know how exhausting work can be.
I'm heading out to a nerd con in Saint Louis tomorrow, and will be unavailable during that time, more or less. Feel free to bot me until Monday.
Good luck!
Just to let you know, I'll be gone for a couple days from Tuesday to Thursday. I'll update when I can, but feel free to bot me if need be.
If we can't open the door with a Strength check, our options are either try to break it down with weapons or report back to Almah. What does everybody think?
Well, I might be able to take 20 on the check. Not sure what that fungus/mold is, but honestly, Fawziya wouldn't be concerned about it. Any objections to her just putting her back into it and attempting to force it open?
I'm back, folks! BOY was that in interesting little vacation! I went to see the memorial plaque for E. Gary Gygax in Lake Geneva, and as it turns out, the resort I was staying at is where GaryCon was being held at! While we left before I could see the actual Con, I know it's there to go next year. And then we visited The House on the Rock, in all its weird glory. But now I'm back, and I'm posting! :D
The House on the Rock is every bit as weird as it seems like it would be when Gaiman describes it in American Gods, and yet it's 100% real. The carousel is only about halfway in, if I recall - there's weird collections before, during, and after it.
Correct on both counts!
Just to keep you all in the loop, during the no-new-notification incident (where forum games weren't alerting folks to updates), I had a member of my family pass on.
As such, I feel it fair to inform you that I updates might take longer than usual (which I know, is plenty long of a wait already) and if you feel the need to drop out of a game I'm DMing or drop me from a game I'm participating in, I understand.
That said, I do hope to update within a couple days as I could use the distraction as the usual business of these events tend to warrant. Thank you for your understanding.
Life moves on eventually. I just need some time.
My condolences, DM. I can't speak for the rest of the players, but I know I'll be here ready to pick the game back up when you're ready.
Life must come first.
As I said in our other game, I'm keeping you in my thoughts, GM. Continuing to send e-hugs!
*E-HUG!*
Sorry for your loss Default. Take care and join us when you can.
I'm back from vacation in California! Ye gods, am I back. Everything went fine until the return trip. We wrecked twice in Colorado due to a run of bad luck and worse weather. Everybody's fine, and there was only minor damage to non-essential systems. I have nothing but bad to say about Colorado's weather, but nothing but good to say about Colorado's people.
It looks like I'm not the only one who's been away. Glad you had a great trip, Zoisa!
DM, I'm so sorry to hear that. My heart goes out to you and yours and you'll be in my prayers. Aside from leaving for Cameroon at the end of May and whatever that might do to my posting ability, I'm still here.
Sorry for the relative radio silence. I get right back from that vacation and they give me ANOTHER eight-day work-week at the hotel! X(
Relatives are almost all gone and I think I've recovered emotionally. Expect me back in posting form by the end of the week at latest.
Gotta get the next map loaded up, hopefully done tomorrow.
Quick question, how would you guys feel about a party of 7 (three additional players from my other legacy of fire game. They seem pretty eager to play, and I'd have to ramp up the encounters, but wanted to get your thoughts.)
Pah! Fawziya can take on these ramped up encounters by herself! It is fortunate for them that she will gladly share the glory of these inappropriately CRed challenges with them!
(Um, what she means is, sure! Bring 'em on!)
What are the classes we'd be absorbing? If we add three more without one of them being a class with some good healing skill, we will find things getting very challenging to survive.
Has anyone noticed Reauleaux's avatar changed to a skeleton after quitting? That's clever!
Looking at the other campaign, it looks like we'll be getting a catfolk sorceress, a half-orc cleric, and a human slayer. I'm for absorbing.
That's cool. Zoisa's sorcery is more to supplement her roguish pursuits than be for pure power.
The dawnfower be praised. This lowly slave asks for permission to join your adventure.
Welcome Faffnyr. Come bask in it's glory as we remove the darkness from a place of worship.
Hello everyone! I'm the group's fiery and bookworm sorceress, Josria!
In our previous adventure, Josria found a book in the old monastery's library so hopefully once we cleaned up the rest of the temple, she can start reading it! I just noticed that Zoisa also found the book here.
Also, I noticed that Zoisa and I both share the same campaign trait: finding Haleen. Since Josria's reason for finding her is more romantic (the carfolk is in love with Haleen), while the gnome treats Haleen more like a sister, I guess our characters know each other. Also who killed the big king pugwumpi? In our game I killed it. If possible whoever killed it in this game could start a friendly rival with. Something like the one between Gimli and Legolas. Just an idea.
So how did y'all want to do this in terms of what happened in our game and in this game? Do we do some sort of retcon or something?
The one in the big room with all the other pugwampis? Zoisa used acid splash to bring the ceiling down on him! XD
Not sure we've killed a king pugwampi yet. Spoilers!!! :D
So yeah, there's gonna be some wibly wobly timey wimey stuff, but we'll get it sorted. I was gonna introduce the integrating party as reinforcements, and we can play it as that angle. players original to this game, please treat the newcomers as new arrivals. New arrivals, you have just defeated a pugwumpi king in another section of the old monastary, and have just caught up to the others. Feel free to rp and introduce yourselves.
