Reign of Winter

Game Master Laschoni

Sorry Marz, my intention was to give you soft cover as you ran. I missed one. That was the impression I had of what you were doing anyway.

As an exercise I didn't enjoy this as much as the other style. A lot of work on my end and flipping through characters. A revised style changeup will probably simply ask for 4 rounds of combat from each of you.

The next few combats at least will be carried out in the traditional style.

Checking over J's weapon proficiencies, he actually can't use any kind of bow anyway :P So it looks like he won't be needing Daegan's old bow after all!

I'll learn to love this dumb sling someday.

Slings are great, man. I had an oread that used a sling, and it worked pretty well.

Oh, once Jeezy's above level 1 I'm sure it'll work out better for him ;)

Vaarsuvius' familiar just popped into existence again.

Slings are bows that have a lower base damage and don't require massive costs to keep upgrading their strength and dynamically adjust to your strength.

Once you guys declare prepared Spells, I think we are ready to roll.

Did Kalhar drink endure Elements by 6pm?

my spells are ready. changed them on my sheet. switched out sleep for color spray

Kalhar, what day's extract does your endure Elements fall under?

YouTube adaptation of this adventure

My laptop has officially shat the bed. Pulled it apart, I get power to the mother board but nothing comes of it. Makes sense, I've practically replaced everything but the mobo and LCD in the last 4 years.

In the combat map I have an image hiding another image. Go ahead and delete the image with the brown boxes covering the rooms.

I have to wonder if the party trapper is at all unsettled by the fact that an atavistic tribesman from f%$#-knows-where up in the mountains spotted a tripwire faster than he did

and Tonto says Kemosabe!

I decided to read up on it's proliferation and inclusion into the dictionary.

But it 'actually' meaning "Trusty Scout" was pretty cool.

Agreed. Well done Max for knowing his #!&%

But it 'actually' meaning "Trusty Scout" was pretty cool.

I honestly didn't know that, I just thought it would be funny out-of-universe :P

The Lone Ranger and Tonto
Were riding down the Navajo Trail
When a band of Indians found em
Proceeded to surround em and
The Lone Ranger turned kinda pale

Tonto, our lives are in danger
We got to get away if we can
Tonto just looked at Lone Ranger
What you mean, we, white man

wait, so are we knocking on the door or sleeping her? that was close to a simulpost

I think sleep is the best plan... we could try that from a window first, then go through with the knocking plan if she saves

So are you like knocking in a window and casting sleep?

i would need line of effect. we can go ahead and knock and ill try to sleep her then you all can pounce if she saves.

Keep in mind that until this point, Daegan has only specifically looked in the western and northern windows. Windows you have to pass to get to the door close to the stable. I'll go ahead and assume Daegan stealths over. The windows reveal more bodies huddled in blankets, very little movement.

Windows locked?

care to try one?

(Also I promised to reward good rp with xp, the character outline spreadsheet has been updated)

lol 08 INT

aww look at us, all usin each others names and shit like best buds

I've had a very busy 48 hours. Expect full posts when I get home.

Again, I take responsibility for the slow pace the last couple days. Sorry guys. Anyway this should be fun. *Evil Laugh*

That cheeky little bastard!

Actually terrified. The machinations of an evil Nick...

I don't know if this is better or worse than pretending to do magic on Deadeye but it's definitely more fun (and also Jezzera isn't very smart)

I don't know where we're going with this but I like it!

Hi guys,

Sorry to interrupt but I've been following along on your adventure for the last few days and couldn't help but say what a great job you're all doing weaving this tale. All your characters put forth unique and interesting personalities that make for a great read. Keep up the great work (and try not to get dead :)!

@Bali thanks,this our first PBP. Though our group does have extensive experience playing together in person.

Thanks for the kind words bro!

yeah okay i'll be the first to admit I had no idea where I was going with the whole "lead the fairy on and make him think we didn't unlock the cage" idea

Kalhar or Axel may have a better idea at what the loot Jezzera found upstairs was.

Just wanted to chime in here and say this is quite the fun read!

Keep it up, your team is very entertaining.

For what its worth, I probably would have submerged the fey in a barrel or washbasin or something, at least until the bubbles stopped...

Oh, that's pretty clever. Hm.

yeah okay i'll be the first to admit I had no idea where I was going with the whole "lead the fairy on and make him think we didn't unlock the cage" idea

Lol I was wondering where it was headed. I like Kalhar's response: Rough but pragmatic.

That little brat had it coming.

That little brat had it coming.

Seriously what a douchebag, we were trying to help him!

I thought the little sprite's alignment came through quite clearly. :)

(Not that I was roleplaying alignment but it was taken into consideration)

In the Combat Map doc I have added Text descriptors to the initiative count in order to help differentiate the Bandits.

Jezzera moved in close to the table whereupon his sick friend lay unconscious. This is unforseen. We must find a way to help him.

I'm so sorry, my friends, the doctor squawked, his tiny gnome hands working as fast as they could. But I lack the requisite ingredients. If only... If only I could - He cut himself off, an idea springing to life in his tinkerer's brain. Ah! I've got it! If you scuzzbags wanna save your friend I know how you can do it! There's only one thing...

What is it? We will spare no expense, there is no price too high to save our friend, barked Jezzera

A smile flashed across the scurrilous doctor's face. Well it's not gonna be easy, the young gnome peeped. You've got a long way to go, and it's all one way: Up.

What is up, Doc?

Now that's just silly, Coyote balked.

Ha

I don't think I'm done with Looney Tunes puns yet.

I feel like you could more gracefully work in "What's up, Dog?" without the heavy foreshadowing

Do a Looney Tunes pun of "Of Mice and Men"

These are all good ideas.

Combat map has been updated with a closer grid layout.
