that's it.^^
I'd like to get an honest answer: don't you enjoy the game? Post seems real slow...
is it my way of playing that you feel not satisfying?
I enjoy the play, but work has been a hassle this last month. Not much time to post, but I try :)
Should be better in september, when I can go back to teaching :)
Is that a question aimed at everyone?
I've been checking pretty much daily, but I only post when I have something to add. Most of the legwork right now is on the wizard and the druid. Without them, trying to find Steves murderers would feel impossible.
So far so good here, but like Selene said I only post when its pertinent. FOrtunately for Essa there has been a lot of tracking and woodland stuff, but for the others, no combat so far, and we are basically wandering through the woods, and not even on the main quest, so its sort of like we don't really know what we are doing. In a way we are unravelling a mystery, but we aren't really catching up the the perpetrators it seems, and it could all be a wild goose chase or a joke.
I promise that it's not a wild goose chase, and that action will happen too.
And soon.
It's fine, most posts are Essa tracking the others but we are getting far away from the crypt :P
Don't tell us that, now I'll be looking for trouble :D
Maybe that is the point. If we have this note it must mean we are "close"
Is there a surprise round and is there a map we're working from?
The surprise round is done.
You are the first to act, in fact, Selene, this round.
I'll work on a map if that can help you, but i'm at work now. Hopefully tonight.
Working on the map in my link? That would be easiest.
Also: I hope you're not too keen on "exact" initiative, more like group A, bad guy 1, Takeshie, bad guy 2, rest. Understand?
@ Takeshi, about Initiative: Of course, as long as everyone is ok with that.
Yeah, exact only really matters when you have casters wanting to lay down a spell and people move into the line of fire. Then it just takes a little work to look back at the order and see who moved what when and where.
Luckily/unluckily I am really slow this time.
I usually post something like what Druidgirl 3000 just said: if ... then... else... :)
Just makes PBP combat go a lot faster :)
Map is online, hope everyone can access to it.Tell me if otherwise.
@Takeshi: how do you change the background image?
I think I just bungled the map, but trying to scroll around on it, I actually moved the background image and everyone's counters are now offset from where they were. Sorry!
Eschie: simply delete this image, put yours in by dragging it, and then "order" > "set to background" or something with your right click menu.
Shouldn't be too hard :)
Yeah,i'll try that tonight at home.
Just so you know: i'm starting a new job on Monday, so i'll be able to post mostly late afternoon or early evening from now on (GMT+1 time). Will be more active hopefully on week ends
Huzzah!!
where are my players? ;-)
Sorry had a "rough" Weekend and nothing went as planned. Lets just say 4 hours at my own house for entire weekend O.O i missed my bed.
Takeshi is here, just very busy weekend.
I am here, just waiting on results from the combat.
Sorry, i'm extra busy today and tomorrow. Hope to be able to post something tomorrow evening (GMT+1)
Waiting for any other reactions (Takeshi, Malya?) before posting
Sorry had busy week with hospitals. Post incoming soon
I'm here, just not really anything to add.
I have a busy week end ahead, and probably won't be able to post. Will do my best
I Pm'ed Takeshi, and hope he's still playing
Appreciate the info.
Still here, very busy, keep you updated.
So did he sense motive on Groyshna reveal
sorry Malya, overlooked your post as I was waiting for Enev to post or try a Sense Motive too. You got your answer now.
Bonus to Sense Motive rolls
Enev, as you know Groyshna well, you get a +2 bonus against him only
Malya, you can do two rolls against Fadj and keep the better.
No one has bonuses against Nabu
Aww and there goes all my tries to be diplomatic and get them to do the right thing >.<
Honestly, Nabu and Groyshna were willing to let go and surrender, and not because of good rolls but because of your RPs. Nabu was the easiest one, and Selene& Enev words finally won Groyshna.
Fadj (sorry Malya) is the baddest of the lot, and an hostage situation seemed interesting to play.
It was short lived, as Fadj.
But now the situation might get even more interesting, RP wise...
On another note, if AhMera is permanently MIA, are we open to recruiting another player into the game? Preferably a replacement martial character.
On a side comment this is by far one of the more interesting pbp games Ive ever been in.
I 'm looking for a recruitment to replace Ah Mera, and thank you for the kind words Selene
It's interesting for me, because of the players interactions, even if it has nothing to do with the Crypt of Everflame "official" scenario
Definitely very fun. It is fun to play Essa as somewhat slow, naive and emotional, but one who is also slowly learning to cooperate and come into her own.
I updated the Campaign info thread.
Its late afternoon (16:30), weather is cloudy, with big chance to rain, and you didn't take a decent meal since the morning.
How far from town are we?
Just doing some guesswork, but it took us 6 hours to track these guys down, and that was at a slower pace. I figure we could make it back in 3-4 hours easy even when with the wounded.
Depending on the time of year, we could make it back with daylight to spare.
I suppose that a 5 hours walk should do the trick, so you could be back at Kessen around 11 tonight.
Fadj condition wont probably allow for a faster walk.
that is supposing there are no more goblins or other things attacking you.. and you manage not to jump at each other's throat ;-)
FYI I have someone interested to replace Ah Mera after you're back to town.
Alas, Takeshi has poofed again. I send him a PM, and will keep you informed.
FYI two: I won't be online this Thursday & Friday.
Hey Gang - I'm the new guy! Can't wait until you make it back to town so Tane can fall over with excitement at the chance to join the adventure.
If anyone wants to tie in some history together I'm all for it! Tane has lived in Kassen his whole life and I figure that most of the teens who've been here awhile probably are all acquainted with each other in some fashion.
Rough Background:
Tane’s parents spent the early party of their life together in the city of Tamran. There, his father was a weaponsmith and his mother was a dancer. The city was constantly either at war or unstable enough that his parents decided to move away when his mother was pregnant with Tane. They moved north into the much quieter life that they deemed would be better to raise their child. Tane was born in Kassen several months later and has lived there his entire life. Throughout his early years Tane’s father taught him all about weapons and how to protect himself using them. Throughout his early years Tane demonstrated athletic ability and an aptitude for martial interests. He is extremely curious and craves adventure at every opportunity. As Tane’s teenage years came about he often wandered into the Fangwood (against his better judgment) in search of adventure. Tane feels contained in Kassen, like there is a greater part of his life yet to be lived.
When games and tests had come about, Tane was certain that he would excel in them. Oh how he had hoped to be so lucky to be selected to take part in the lantern lighting of the crypt of Kassen. When the group had been announced his excitement had quickly faded however when his name had not been spoken. He congratulated the selected and wished them luck while doing his best not to crumble in frustration and disappoint. Still, he kept up hope that his chance would come one day soon.
Added a Loot link on Campaign tab
give you 135 Xp for the fight
Welcome Tane, Im all in favor of character bonds, or having history together. Personally im a fan of collaborative history where you state how my character has history such as;
Tane has been with Selene since before.
Of course this is an, example of Selene's bond to Tane.
Your bond to,Selene could be something like: Selene is a disaster waiting to happen or Selene is weird, or Selene seems to avoid me etc etc
The specifics are left for us to flesh out through the game and work off of together spontaneously. If youve ever heard of Apocolypse world, it is that games player bond system decided at character creation.
Im also open to other ideas if you'd rather do something else.
Kane, its possible you know Essa from wandering the Fangwood.
Welcome!
I've part of my life in Kassen, in the orphanage and under the car eof Father Praast, we may know each other :)
sorry, forgot to give free access to the loot page. It's done now
Selene - I'm not familiar with Apocolypse World, but I looked up there bond system and I understand it. I can definitely do this with Selene.
Essa - Sounds perfect. I'm sure Tane would have blundered into Essa as he was taking it upon himself to explore the woods while looking for adventure.
Enev - Thanks! Excellent, I can work with that.
