Don't forget to update your status bar! :D
Did I do it right?
Also, can't wait to kick some fuzzy hyena butts!
Apologies, Finals week is bearing down on me. Will try to get some updates done soon, but grades come first.
I hear you there! Take all the time you need. Just making sure I keep active on the threads so you all know I haven't disappeared or anything.
Good luck! :)
Sorry all, power's been out for a bit. I got an emergency charge on my phone, but I'm not sure when power will be back to normal. Hopefully this weekend.
Sorry to hear that Alem, hope things get better quickly.
To all my games, I am going to be leaving tomorrow for a humanitarian trip to help those in need. I will only have access to my smartphone at the time, so I will not be able to post during this time. I estimate my return to the boards in the first week of January.
If I'm a player and you find this absence unfavorable, I understand if you remove me from the game.
If I'm the GM, and you'd rather leave the game if it stalls for this long, I understand your withdrawal.
In either case, message me and we'll get things sorted out.
But I do wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
Unexpected circumstances have rendered me internet-less until our new modem arrives sometime in the upcoming week. I apologize for the inconvenience. :(
UPDATE: The new modem will be installed on January 6th. Please bot me until then. Thank you!
It took more hassle than I expected, but I HAVE RETURNED! What's the situation, friends? :D
First day of me posting in the New Year, thanks for the patience folks.
I think my last post stands as a question. I've cleared up the map to show you all what the situation looks like, so you can reference specific buildings. To reach the Battle Market, you have to wind your way around or try and scale the elevated area.
That outage was painful. Sorry for that, everybody. I hope everybody's had a splendid holiday!
A little discussion time!
Since the DM says we can reach B4 without trouble, the question is how to get to the battle market from there. It's literally just across the street, but that means crossing open space and going up a hillside without getting shanked by guards. A few ideas come to mind.
• Someone raises an obscuring mist in the morning (when mist would not look too unnatural) and we hoof it across quickly under concealment.
• We do some kind of goofy end run around through the water to the north, or along the ruins to the south, and then try to find a clear spot to scale our way up the hillside and get to the market
• We use disguises to try to get across
• or we brazenly walk up to the front door once we come out of building B4!
Can any of us cast obscuring mist? I like that plan, but I'm not sure how feasible it is.
I'd love to be able to cast it, though! I'd flavor it as Zoisa blowing pesh smoke to confuse her enemies! :D
Gotchu fam! Alem has Obscuring Mist. I might have to think of some desert-appropriate fluff for it, though.
Woohoo! This is why having two mages is so awesome!
Especially since I'm only kind of a mage...
Or...would you guys prefer I railroad you, in a sense.
I believe we're making a beeline for the battle market.
I'm just worried that it'll "advance the plot," so to speak? Like, we go to the battle market and have a big fight that lets us take over the town, and then we move on to the next part, missing out on encounters and things we could have found if we took more time to look. Like in Dragon Age: Origins if you didn't do all the sidequests in Lothering before completing a leg of the main quest, you can't go back because the town's been destroyed so those quests and their rewards are Lost Forever.
Alright, moving to the Battlemarket, I'll be posting an update sometime today.
Well, the Super Bowl is done and the Patriots have left my hotel, so I should be back to posting more regularly now. Sorry, folks!
Also, MAN I've been bungling my stealth checks! I'll never become a famous liberator of slaves at this rate! D:
Update tomorrow. Lost track of time today.
That Patriots were staying at your hotel? What was that like? As for stealth checks, just play it up! Maybe she does her own stealth music?
I will be out of town camping this weekend and should be back late Monday. Bot if needed!
Any other reactions to what just happened?
Dunno, we gonna make a deal with this guy or what?
Just a quick ping to see who's still around.
Poke!
Yep, still here.
You know I'm still here! :P
Hey, I'm trying to get back in the saddle on all my games after my absence, so I'm trying to resume regular posting by this weekend.
Gotcha gotcha. Zoisa's been the main poster for a long while, so I wanted to make sure that it wasn't one of those situations where I may call for combat, and there's only one player left.
I've never made it this far into Legacy of Fire before. Not sure exactly what I was directing, but this wasn't it. I guess we don't have to sneak around quite so much.
Me neither! I am a little bit stymied as what I thought was going on does not match what is going on, so I guess the info that we got from the Player's Guide was just deliberately wrong?
Way for the GM to keep us guessing! :)
From my understanding, the part was hired to help secure an abandoned city only to find it has actually been taken over as a sort brutal settlement for those who can stomach it. To get into the city, there are patrols that would attack and assault you, but your stealth and strategy mitigated that issue.
I will tell you there is a rough timeline of events to follow, so your invitation to the battle market was no coincidence.
Essentially, to lay claim and restore the good of the city, your facing something much more organized than you anticipated.
Just to let you all know, my posting will slow down this week as I'm joining my family on a trip to Chicago! I'll post if I have a spare moment, but if things need to move along, please bot my character. Thank you! :)
I don't have a good way to communicate it at the moment, but remember that any drink could be poisoned and any merchant could be a slaver. (Or don't, if your character is naive!)
Oh, if slavery is involved, Zoisa'll stop playing nice! She won't actively start a fight, but slavery is the line she will NEVER cross.
Okay, CLEARLY we're not going to do what Kardswann wants...do we want to fight our way out of this or talk our way out of it?
Everyone go ahead and roll initiative. This map has multiple levels and I don't think I will get it posted tonight. Sorry for the delay.
Guys I need to be honest here. I've been trying to find a good map online to use, but I can't find anything that isn't super confusing. And I tried to make it from scratch but Roll20 is not working with me.
Would it be alright to do this one theatre of the mind?
Sure!
Ok. Also, it looks like we are down to three players (me, Faffnyr, and Zoisa).
I know Alem has had some RL issues beyond his control impacting his posting.
So...what do we do now? Do we hold another recruitment drive? It's DM Default's decision of course, but I don't want to let the game die... :(
Same!
I know a couple people who might be interested. I can ask.
I like that idea, though it IS DMDefault's decision, of course.
Sorry for the late response, we're about to enter a large battle with multiple parts. However, it is also near the end of the first book. With that in mind, and around 3 active players, what do you all feel would be the optimal choice here?
I CAN tone down the difficulty, but this battle will be theatre of mind as mapping it is causing a lot of issues on my end.
