Aldous has until Monday to continue the conversation, then the game will move forward.
Feel free to move on. I can spoiler the conversation with the Earl.
Will do.
I'm out of town this week Monday - Thursday with no internet. Please bot Aldous as needed, and I'll be able to catch up next Friday evening.
Seems like a week early to me.

Oh yeah, I'm traveling next week too - but I'll have internet then so it shouldn't affect any games.
You guys, my mother in law passed away a few days ago in her sleep. I have two small girls and a wife struggling with the loss. I am trying to run the house and help with the estate. I haven't signed on for a few days and feel horrible for the disappearance. I hope you will accept my apologies.
That's rough, good luck to you and your family. Take all the time you need, we can wait.
Good luck with everything, Darren. I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you guys for your kindness. I feel ready to proceed.

Happy holidays, everyone.
I'm excited to see how the group fares in Ascanor.
Hopefully better than we did in the haunted manor!
Hard to see how we could do worse!
I was checking everyone's attendance, congratulations on staying on since the beginning of August everyone! Poor Amos has been dead for three months already...time flies.
Sorry I have been absent lately. I have had a couple of other projects I have been working on. I've been attempting to build up my freelance career and caught a few breaks and am getting to write some minor parts of some major 3pp works. I am attempting to catch up on what I missed. I went ahead and posted but I may need to edit it after I read everything a little more clearly.
No problem, welcome back.
So, it's been a while. Let me check I understand the plan.
We've been dropped off elsewhere. We now go through the old gate to the beach, where Ky will diplomacise the werewolves.
If it goes bad, we fight while the boat provides ranged cover.
That right?
If anyone wants to cast a buff, seems like now is the time.
Correct.
Ky, I take your point.
I'm not a fan of splitting the party, though, and we seem to be doing it a fair bit.
If Ky takes too long, Edward is going to start talking (he threatened) ;)
Looks like my life is full of bad news. Until the 15th, I'm going to be busy moving the wife and myself back to the parents...our current housemates have become rather emotive in their desire for us to leave. They've never had to live with anyone else before, so I understand to a point. The stifling atmosphere is really hampering my creative juices anyway. So, until the 15th, I'm going to be in short supply, but I'll try to keep things moving.
Sorry to hear of your troubles, Bēl-Ṣullulim. I hope the move goes well, and take your time!
Wow, that is terrible. Timing extra sucks given how much work there is at the start of a campaign. Mind if I ask which housing market your sick on? Canberra is not too bad at the moment, but I guess you don't want to move to Oz...
Heh. I'm in the Salt Lake City area. Things are pretty tight right now, but we should be on our feet again in the next couple of months.
Merro is a lot of fun to write for.
Vacia is in the Shudderwood, as I recall what Ivan said. We can't give away his land. Not only is it bad, under a feudal agreement even the Count or King has no power to do so - except possibly as confiscation for treason. Such confiscation is a worse punishment than execution.
The question is, does Merro consider Vacia a part of the Shudderwood as he understands it? As long as Vacia keeps up its end of things, it's not the Shudderwood.
Doc's take on these guys' lands is that their "lands" are the immediate vicinity. They're a pack, not an army, and as such shouldn't warrant a huge expanse.
At any rate, Doc isn't thinking in terms of titles or any of that - he's thinking in terms of us not getting killed right now. We can always rearrange our agreements later to suit our needs, but only if we're alive.
We can't give away his land. Not only is it bad, under a feudal agreement even the Count or King has no power to do so - except possibly as confiscation for treason. Such confiscation is a worse punishment than execution.
As for what power we have - well, we have none until we have it, right? I mean, the Palatines aren't going to recognize our power, but once we remove them, then who is going to stand in our way?
We can't give away anyone's land, because we have no power to enforce anything (and we're not giving away the Droht's land - just a few square miles near Ascanor).
Everything else is just empty promises until it isn't, and by that point a few villagers/werewolves aren't going to matter. They'll renegotiate or die.
what he said
Cute.
Ha, this Merro fellow seems to understand our bargaining position quite well. Well, Droht, think you can kill this guy? If you'd all prefer, I can volunteer Brogol for the job.
Whoever does it, give Doc a chance to buff. With psychic spells being mental actions, shouldn't be too hard to slap up a protection from evil before the fight.
Sure, but what we said was we'd give him the woods. We were basically turning over our "kingdom".
So it's been 9 days. What's the plan?
I am still here.
Me too.
Do we have a DM?
I'm going to be out of town until 3-10. Please bot Doc as needed.
An atheist, a vegan, and a girl with a gluten allergy walk into a bar... I only know because they told everyone within two minutes.
We all get eaten by werewolves. The End.
Yeah, I was sad to see this one go. Such a talented group and an interesting band of characters. There was so much to explore here.
I still have hopes this is because of the move... but I admit the fact we haven't heard anything is a very. very bad sign.
It was a great game :(
