Game Master Herkymr the Silly

Ok, so everyone read and respond as you see fit to the last section in my most recent post.

MANG

Not seeing the desired rolls results
please repost here

I sent that message and then promptly forgot to do it...
K. nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
intelligence check: 1d20 ⇒ 17

I am still thinking on the answers but I was hoping that there would be more input on the answers here.

I sent that message and then promptly forgot to do it...

[dice=K. nature]1d20+6
[dice=intelligence check]1d20

didnt result in anything usuable

So the next couple of days I will probably not post but not guaranteed. I have another skills test for a different position with the same company as last time. I will be preping for it which is Tuesday morning. So that is where my focus will be and then I will be keeping the rugrats out of my wifes hairs while she does here 3 - 12hr shifts.

Good luck!

now i dont know why i am still up this early but I noticed a couple of things that I wanted to point out.

Listening to the others talk he gathered that a decision had to be made. So which task are we going to do first, the eggs or the 'tests'? Because I personally would like to do the eggs first. He says this with a tone of concern in his voice.

Awesome post especially for unk. This kinda fits his back story and I feel actually adds a bit of flesh to his toon.

I have been noticing that while he is a new player he is progressing with his posts and contributing to game.

Also
Thanks to all for staying in their characters so well even though I know there appears to be some rivalry going on between characters I also know that it is only a game thing. I like having "REAL" feel to gaming.

So I was thinking over these while working tonight and was trying to come up with wrong answers that would fit. What do you think?

Ripped from my mother’s womb,Beaten and burned,I become a blood thirsty killer.

I drive men mad
For love of me,Easily beaten,Never free what am I
(Forbidden pleasure)

What begins and has no end? What is the ending of all that begins?
(Time) Nothing can withstand time so in essence Time is truely the ending of all that begins.

Sorry I did not get a nap before going to work tonight and kids got me up at 6 am.

I have to say Mang's Iron and Gold make a lot of sense for the first 2.
As for the third, Nature makes sense, as does Time. Entropy/Decay seems like the kind of Time we're talking about (assuming a fantasy world obeys physical laws)

Ya, writing the last one I immediately thought of wizards being able to become immortal as a capstone, similar story with a Lich.

No I agree on iron and gold and decay. I was trying to see if I could fit other things to the riddle possibly to irritate "the Man". I would say we have the three answers, iron, gold, Entropy/decay. Now the question is do we try to come up with other answers that might work or call it good. I would like the entire group to be unanimous as to what the answers I give are. It sounds like we might have the opportunity of a couple of days to think thru this with just reading the DM's post from yesterday.

Wow. I went camping over the weekend and came back to this . . . Hmm. I don't have any other ideas for them. Those all sound reasonable.

hope that camping was good

so thinking I will drop seth. gonna send him a message first and see what he sas but we havent been hearing from him for quite a while before the move until now

Anyone have anything to say about this?

Thanks Herkymr. I'm glad that I'm not being a drag on everyone.

I think that irritating "the Man" sounds really good.

As long as I am not the man

text sent to Seth if we havent heard in game r otherwise from him by wednesday he will not be joining us.

I apologize for having to do this but it was part of an agreement between Unk, Herk, and myself. Due to a continuation of certain behaviors Unk's character personality will be changing. My Son has again violated rules and this time in a way that put his younger siblings at risk. I will not say more here other than that I am sorry for the possible inconvenience this may cause.

Not an issue Shadara. Keep us informed but for now I will just NPC his character til I hear back from you. So far he has not been tied into the plots extensively so we can drop his character all together if needed.

Also
It looks like seth is out. Havent heard from him but know he is super busy right now.

That leaves
mang shadara milos Jerram

I am also waiting on one more person to finish up his toon and start it in.

thanks for the patience

The other player's character should be up and ready to go today. This is what he said. Either way I am moving on with the game.
Thanks for waiting out this time of transition.

Milos : check your folder in realm works. I have a basic advancement set up as a Infected. However to make it balanced I needed to build it as a class.

I am open to feed back before we "finalize" this. To my knowledge it is now a balanced "vampiric" race.

I am still proof reading my definitions for the different class abilities so they will make sense to others. As soon as this is done I will also put it in your file on realmworks

anyone here alive????

I responded by email.

I responded by email.

thanks for the length of our discussions email is best

Sorry for not posting, got a little crazy with work and then got sick. If we are agreed on the answers for the riddles we can move forward.

I hadn't posted because there was nothing happening.

Ok, I am really confused, so the boy in the room really was the actual creature but yet in the will save description it said that the boy was under a spell and the real person was in another room? Superposition only works at the atomic scale.

Here we go. Lets see what happens.

--- other factors were at and are at play here ----

Shadara - very nice very nice

I was hoping that you would like the response and possibly give you a moment of pause.

sorry I thought I posted yesterday early in the day and then worked until after midnight. The post I just did was not what I originally intended but after re-reading posts this felt more in character with the way my character has been actingg

np
I am glad jerram is back as well.
It is taking me longer to post currently due to the stress and changes of still trying to establish us up here. I am working on some things and trying to keep things going as well. Thanks for the support and understanding as I get this part settled down

gonna take a few days b4 i can post much. I overstressed my sore arm and amback in sling for a bit

Sorry to hear that. Take the time. I hope that this doesn't impact the new job too much.

or the hunting of it. But our papers for the house are all in now its just the waiting game :)\

sounds good. I am out of state until monday night so I may not post until tuesday. Hope everyone has a safe and happy Labor day.

we should be moving in this weekend. If all goes right which we anticipate no issues that is.

Also I would like to find another or two players to add in. Anyone know someone or have suggestions for finding another?

Found a program that might make battles more accessible.
I have started to create a pic file there. Check it out--play around with it--and tell me what you think

evaluate and feedbackplease

just a quick reminder:

try to post daily

Right now we have 3 choices of things as a group

1---Jerras and the eggs (accept and deliver -- decline)

2---The"elvish" boy and his 2nd challenge (complete or buy out)

3---Do nothing or ... throw something awesome at me

Individuals have somethings to work with as well

Jerram -- info on yellow scorpions and treho monastery -- nella connection

Shadara -- mother info, witches of covenant, possible father issues, storm "bow"s

Milos---- the storms, Vittras, order matters, yellow scorpions

Mang -----vision, rumors of his tribe being dead, storms, yellow scorpions

Or by all means throw me a curve ball.

REMEMBER
this is descriptive collaborative storytelling. I will always need and reward those who step up and add details to the story I havent gotten to or didn't think of.

update realmworks

you probably wont see anything new YET for you all but we need it updated to help the movement of the next area of the game

thanks

So what do you all think. I have an idea but I wanted to see what you all are leaning toward. I think that this will be a big story decision. I would love to hear what your thoughts are on this.

I'm not too sure at the moment for that.

Hello all! I look forward to roleplaying with you. I haven't done a play-by-post in four or five years, and the one I did ended quickly, so I don't have much experience. Let me know if I'm overstepping boundaries or if you have any other feedback on my posts.

I get the impression many of you know each other outside the game. If you don't mind me asking, how did you meet?

For what it's worth, I think you should take the mission to deliver the eggs to the Burrows. For Jarram, it's an opportunity to strike at the Yellow Scorpions (and perhaps capture one to get information). For Mang and Shadara, it'll be a chance to test each others' capabilities and prove their own. For Milos, it'll be a way to show gratitude to Marry. It might also give you enough money to pay off the elf-gnome-cat creature, if you choose to take that route.

The deadline for delivering the eggs is the night of the current game day. You have until tomorrow night to decide whether you want to take the creature's second test, so the two missions do not conflict. It's possible delivering the eggs will count as interfering with the creature's business in the burrows, but if that's the case, it shouldn't bother you. None of you have any reason to wish the creature well.

That's good logic right there.

That's good logic right there.

I like it - as long as Milos can be polite.
