Well, mine, deciding not to take advantage of our situation.
Ah gotcha.
Who needs undercommon? I speak the greatest of languages. Pirate!
And for a similar reason Galenus suggested... if this were a live game, I totally would have tried to bust out then. But that's the nature of pbp I guess. Making a call live can take ten minutes to resolve. Pbp, it could divert the game for a week or more.
Yes, for sure. The format definitely imposes unique constraints while it also provides unique abilities, e.g. everyone has time to revise their dialogue, I have time to look up cool pictures of monsters to share, etc.
Yup. It's a tricky balance sometimes.
Do those of us in the stalactite hear the escape event?
You hear some noises, including the scream. You can try to move to the doorway to look if you want.
Are those lights on the picture actual torches with flames, or something else?
I'm here, but called in to work night shift for the next few days. Seems like actions taken at the waterfall mostly cover what she could do anyways.
"Torches" are lit by phosphorescent fungi.
Dang.
Also, I think my last in-game post was missed. Galenus went to the door to see what was going on.

I included it. It sort of provided some extra cover for Eddrikk's snatching up of the wire. You do see what's going on outside the pen now.
I see it now. I just totally misread it the first time.
Sure. It was somewhat subtle since most of those involved in the action had darkvision (so it just made it a bit harder for them to see). I think you were going for the fire effect and I hadn't yet described that they're not burning torches but you didn't lose anything by doing it.
It's all good. Pictures can be deceiving. :)
@Tiberius FYI Your CON score and saves are higher than they should be in your status bar.
Apologize for this weekend, I had to roll to nights and then back to days today.. I now have to drive several hours to get home.. I will be able to post later and should be good moving forwards..
No problem. I only expect one post on the weekend. Everyone's been keeping up the pace quite nicely so far.
Look at that stealth check!!
And perfect timing, too!
That was handy!
Now to make some use of it. :)
After working for this company for four years, they finally got around to classifying the Paizo website as "games" and no longer allow access to this site on the company wifi.
I'll be posting less frequently from now on during the work week, as there are significant portions of this building where I don't get a signal. Lots of equipment here that has a side effect of emulating a Faraday cage, which blocks outside signals.
Ah blast. That's a nuisance for you. Cheers for the heads up though.
That really sucks...

Gotta say, you're still in a tough spot! Here's hoping you can get out of there with the gear, I'd love to get my hands on a weapon (or two, although I don't know if there's enough to go around for me to be able to dual wield)!
Thanks for the heads up, Galenus. Shouldn't be a problem.
This is a good opportunity for me to mention that I'll typically fade to black on sex scenes, for multiple reasons the foremost of which being keeping all players and myself feeling comfortable and welcome in the game. I didn't expect it to come up so quickly but Irdril's been rolling quite nicely with that charisma. XD
Nice work by Galinndan as well. Gotta just shake my head when a penalty beats a bonus (deception against Shoor's insight). Reminds me too much of my last session of CoS when my wife (GM) crit me with disadvantage and rolled 88th percentile damage too.
I'm fine with that.
And anyone can get lucky! :)
What time is it in game?

Great question, Eddrikk. Funny thing about the Underdark is, you don't know. You only know when you sleep. The Drow are taking shifts and so have you guys been. Your shift is about to begin again. Each shift is roughly eight hours but I've been fast-forwarding through most of the "you sweep for 6 hours" kind of stuff.
Thats fine with me. Her backstory fits that she would try something along this line but details are not needed. Her goal is escape no matter what so..
Galenus puts his acquisitions on the floor...
With both our characters starting with Gal, autocorrect is going to give us a bit more of a problem. :)

Aye! :) I've had to catch myself a few times when reading and writing here. ;)
I'm also getting a bit of a situation at work so posting throughout the workday will be down for me but I'll still be updating every day.
No worries. The pace is still really good in this game.
Based on my character history, I've been waiting for a moment to build rapport with with Kua-tao, but I haven't really thought of a good lead-in, yet.
However, one of the NPCs may know something of these tunnels. We should ask them.
Also, can someone else update the group notes? I'd do it, but I want to share the wealth of gaining advantage. :)
Sharing is caring, especially when it comes to inspiration:) I'll have a look at the notes and add what I can in the next hour or so.
That's one hell of a series of stealth checks, Gal.
Aye! It beats the heck out of my early charisma checks!
50 xp for Tiberius for getting everybody telepathy. I'll add an xp tracking link up above soon.
Nice one.
I edited my last post in gameplay to add a bit more context for Galinndan's reaction, in case anyone is replying to it.
What worries me more than breaking out is those guards with two attacks.. One might think they are at least 5th level lol and thats is a problem.
Some of these NPCs are so whack, I love it :) DM, are they straight out of the book like that, or did you come up with the kookiness? Either way, they're pretty entertaining.
Also, yes Irdril, multiattacking drow are a bit of a worry! If they're straight out of the MM, we could be in trouble if we engage them. Kanzen would be pretty aware of how lethal they might be, given that he was on the same career path back in Menzoberranzan. He's hinted at that just now. These shackles sure suck, too.

It's the Underdark, we all crazy down here
What's a Dwarfish? Can I eat it?
Its like dwarf but not

Yeah, the NPCs are good fun and add a lot of colour. :)
