Just put the baby down, so I will try to get us all kicked out of the temple in just a few minutes.
Lol! Sorry was trying to spend some family time here.
And no good deed goes unpunished. Henceforth, give the kids 10' poles and they can walk in front of us everywhere we go. :)
ROFLMAO!!!
I have opened up a Roll20 Site so that we can ease combat. Here is the
link
ok, on roll20, not real familiar with it but learning :)
Truthfully I am at the same stage here:) But better than posting up spreadsheets which is what I was doing!
I think it's pretty straightforward.
Linguistics for the win!
And as a side note, skeletons have the hardest poker faces to read, so no gambler would ever want to play cards with them. :)
As a side note, what time of day is it?
Took some time to get here and talk with the priest so we will call it around 3 PM.
I second the any XP is good XP philosophy. :)
I won't be able to make a good post until after 1600, but if we need to move the thread along, Cyrus will grab his pack and follow the others for a short time.
As darkness nears though, he will be ready to go to the Inn and rest, as these past nights have not been kind to him.
Not a problem Cyrus. Tonight and tomorrow day are my FTF live games so I will be spotty. Tsar tonight and Serpent's Skull tomorrow.
I added everyone's tokens in Roll20 so when you have time work on your sheets. I still only have a few of you to assign rights so far.
if it was 3pm when we talked to the priest, then we found the fox and went back to town, about what time did we accept the food from the towns people, also what time of years is it? What time will it get dark? what kind of weather or how temperate is the season?
We will call it spring. Temperature and climate are moderate. Dusk is around 8PM. Current time would be around 6.
Sorry I'm a wee bit late posting. I've been volunteering at a local gaming convention (Gottacon), so it's a bit of a long weekend for me.
You guys are doing really great and a lot faster than my other game.
The baby is giving the wife and I a run for our money today. Cyrus will eat a small meal and then turn in also, hoping for a good night's sleep.
Longer post later if she let's me. :)
Moving to morning sounds good to me.
Shandar is in Albuquerque and is iced in at home in Abilene so will be a couple of days getting online access.
I would like to go on the record that I said a house sweep only if the woods didn't pan out. I only thought of a house sweep because of Law & Order SVU playing in the background. :)
Post to follow after I shovel out some grooves to get out of driveway following even more snow here in Massachusetts.
I hear ya. We had horrible rain today, but it cleared the last parts of snow here, in Bavaria, Germany
It has been chilly for here, 30's-40's for the last 4-5 days but we don't get that 4 letter word much (snow)! Not helping my arthritis any.
My brother just came in and told me that Boston is having record snowfall. You ok Cyrus? And everyone else up north?
The worst, God willing, is behind us in the snow area and we are just getting the smaller stuff. It hit us really bad coming into Feb and I have spent a lot of time battling my winter weight by shoveling snow. :)
most of the characters I've been playing bang on stuff till they stop moving and interrogate their purses, so if I use bluff or diplomacy too loose feel free to jump in and explain. This is sort of what I had in mind
You can use Bluff and Diplomacy together to make a request of a creature, without it even realizing you have made the request.
Check: You can gradually coax a target into thinking a suggestion is entirely its own idea, making the creature more likely to act on the idea than if you had suggested it outright. You discuss topics subtly relevant to the request, asking leading questions and narrowing the scope of the conversation so that the target eventually decides to take a specific action you have led it to.
You first attempt a Bluff check to convince the target that your request was actually its idea. This is always treated as far-fetched circumstances, resulting in a –10 penalty on the check. If successful, you then attempt a Diplomacy check to make the request of the creature, treating its attitude toward you as indifferent for this single request (regardless of its actual attitude).
Basically that the rouge is in danger and Naomi is trying to help him but he has to tell us what he knows.
If I'm way off base somebody sing out.
I was thinking something very similar where the one who was knocked out by the spell is the one we talk to and the wounded one is the one Hagrym gets. Cyrus would explain the rigidity of dwarven law, and LG characters as a whole, while Cyrus and Naomi can agree to let the other man go as long as he hauls butt away from Lessef after spilling his beans.
If he disagrees, or thinks he would fair better with dwarven justice, he is more than welcome to try it.
His timeline is until Cyrus heals the other guy just enough to talk.
It is bluff bordering on Intimidate, but it might just work.
Edit: Next time I should read the in game thread before reading the discussion. Good to see Naomi and Cyrus are on the same page. :)
:) The bluff worked and the rogue is tired of sitting around waiting anyway. He just wants to get out of here.
Outstanding. Now to have an episode of Law & Order: Lessef. I call dibs on being the Det. Munch of this group, aka Richard Belzer's char on SVU.

Got me, I watch Blue Bloods. I get to be Tom Selleck!

I'm so very confused; I usually only watch "agents of shield" and "the big bang theory", well that and "game of thrones" and now that you mention it, reruns of "firefly" who am I kidding, I own the DVD's of "Firefly" so I watch them whenever I can...and if were talking about TV on DVD there's "Hell On Wheels" and "Walking Dead"...I'm sorry where were we?
When I teleworked at my last job, it would never fail that USA network would have a Law & Order/NCIS marathon on that I would have as background noise.
Det Munch, from the SVU show, is a dry humored, sarcastic and conspiracy theory sort of guy, so I was channeling him when I thought of how to get information from this guy.
And we own the Firefly DVDs also. :)
Myself, I like watching History TV's Vikings. There's a show all about subtlety and diplomacy.
Ohhh I forgot about the Viking show, I really like Floki
Looked interesting, but I have a hard time keeping up with all the shows I DVR now:
Supernatural
Walking Dead
Better Call Saul
Blue Bloods
Chicago Fire
Chicago PD
Criminal Minds
Scorpion
CSI
Madam Secretary when I can
Blacklist
100
Arrow
When they are on
Hell on Wheels
Turn
Z-Nation
The Last Ship
I might be one of few gamers who was not all that impressed with Firefly. I mean it was ok and I watched it, but it was no big deal for me. And I watch exactly zero reality TV.
Funny you should say that; Floki is my favorite character on Vikings.
In no particular order...
Babylon 5 (Ok this IS the top of the list)
Stingray,
Gotham,
Agents of Shield,
Supernatural,
Agent Carter,
Walking Dead,
Arrow, my wive loves the chaps body,
The flash,
Dexter,
Downton Abbey,
Black Adder (Just me)
Two oxen, one horse and a cart should make up for the chickens. Unless someone else wants to claim the livestock.
I just want the dice.
@Ulfgard: you like Black Adder? That's as cunning as a cunning fox that graduated from Cunning University!
I see that grin is twisting and turning, like a ... twisting turning thing!
Get out of my head Naomi!!! :)
Although good to see we gamers never trust anyone, especially still living NPCs.
God I loved black adder and Dr who
Ok I'm back been a rough 2 weeks with the weather and work
that's great, I believe miners would figure that out and do it, I'm just no sure that Naomi is willing too :)

I may be posting a bit less during the day this week as there are some hard deadlines I have to meet at work, but I still should be good for more active posting after 1930 or after I put the baby down.
If I seem out of sorts, it is because Roll20 is blocked at work, so I am doing a lot of creative imagination in my head. :)
Not a problem Cyrus, work comes first. (No, we must keep gaming above all things! LOL, J/K!)
I have added to the Campaign Info my variant rules for death. As my campaigns are generally a little bloodier, I allow a Fort Save for a permanent injury to avoid dying.
