Strike the Earth: Histories of Greed and Determination (Inactive)

Game Master djdust

Busy weekend for me. Please bot me as needed.

Noted Boomer.

Toulbe is a greatly appreciated foil to all this dwarfy dourness! His bag o' alchemical goodies sure was a great boon to the group.

Is there anyone against burning all the bodies?

Toulbe is against burning the bodies inside the area of the barricaded zone. It might taint the palette of his food.

*The eyes of the inquisitor watch all for lack of enthusiasm for burning*

Hezekh wishes to point out that we need to be sure there's good airflow. Combusting all the oxygen and suffocating ourselves would be a poor idea. This place probably isn't as well ventilated as your average smithy.

"I will bow to your expertise in this matter. How may we best ascertain the airflow before we burn the wretched goblins?"

Aye, move it to the gameplay thread, lads ;)

A heads up:

A week from now I will be traveling and visiting family in Hawaii. I will be quite busy doing vacationey things, and I’m thinking I’ll need to put the campaigns I’m running on break. It’s just 10 days, and then we’ll pick things up again.

I’ll remind you again on Sunday. Thanks for playing :)

I'm back! Nice work folks. :)

So are we just adding all the salvaged gear to the cart? How are we doing the loot bean counting for this game? A google spreadsheet maybe?

If we want to be as dwarfy as possible, it should all go into a communal pot, and then we kinda decide on the fly who gets what based on who needs what. Dwarfy Marxism. We do it like that until we get our home base's economy going, at which point we become a dwarfy nordic-style mixed economic system where all the basic community needs are met from a communal pot, but beyond that everyone is out for themselves in capitalist competition.

Or, we could be some kind of weird dwarves who do things differently than usual.

See the Party Inventory link at the top of the campaign page. I’ve kept up with it somewhat... please feel free to update it at any time :)

I won't object to a communal store in this case. :)

Aye, I've just been kind of grabbing a crossbow off the cart when I need one, so I don't see the problem at the moment.

alright folks, I've updated the inventory sheet to include all that you've found on your adventure down the Old Quarry Road. I created a Group slot and I figure that can be stuff 'On the Wagon'. If you'd like to move items from your PC's inventory to 'on the wagon', please do.

Reminder: I'll be travelling for the next 10 days, so I'll be pausing the game for a bit. Sorry it's happening in the middle of a combat, but, so it goes...

Boomer and Gunnar go ahead and post your turn, and I'll let you know when we can pick it back up next Wednesday.

Please Enjoy This Brief Intermission

Enjoy!

I'm back home safe and sound. I can pick things back up tomorrow.

Good stuff.

~thumbs up~

Good deal. Ready to roll!

It's good to see this going once more. :)

I have the update like half written up, but we have an opening at the gallery today so its been busy. Sorry for the wait.

Apologies that I have been quiet. Had to get down to the sticks of Arkansas for a baby shower for the wife with my family. Needless to say, I've had limited internet and I apologize for not mentioning it sooner.

Notice is good, but that is understandable.

Hey now, I resemble that remark. Where were you?

Down in the River Valley of Arkansas

I've got some friends up that way. I'm farther south myself.

I've been to arkansas once. Evacuated to little rock during gustav. Sadly the storm followed us out there and it rained the whole time.

Oh snap. We're back in business! Got distracted with some packing and whatnot. Welcome back, Armok.

Little Rock isn't so bad but there is certainly a lot of places sadly you wouldn't want to be in in the city.

And it’s better than it used to be, sadly. Same for Pine Bluff.

I'll bot for Toulbe in the morning if we don't hear from him by then.

Apologies that I didn't answer. I swear I pushed enter before but I must've exited my browser before it sent >.< I'm sorry about that.

No worries Toulbe :)

Just for clarifications sake:

Glor's last attack didn't hit because of AC, not DR. It's sometimes tricky to extrapolate narrative from mechanics; in this case, the golden skeleton has a Natural Armor bonus to AC, which I interpret from being from the gold plating. The DR is the same as a normal skeleton, which I interpret as the lack of fleshy bits susceptible the sharp stabby things.

Since everything has a base AC of 10, I interpret any attack roll under 10 as a miss, while anything above 10 but below AC is either blocked, deflected, or dodged, depending on the type of AC bonuses involved, and also the whims of my imagination. Hope that makes sense.

Makes sense to me. Cheers for explaining your thinking and descriptions.

In the spirit of things, I'd like to say thank you all for playing! I'm grateful to have you as my players and to be able to offer this game to you.

It's good fun, cheers all!

Yep. Thankful.

I'm back! Getting caught up now.

I'm happy to be here. And thank you for going through the effort to run this rad, dwarfy story!

Just wanted to offer a small warning, if I go silent suddenly, that it is just under twenty days till my first born's due date is. So I apologize in advance if I suddenly disappear for a few days. Should that happen, please bot as needed.

Congrats are in order then. Cheers!

I just realised that I never included my +3 hp from the Toughness feat. Doh!

I slept in... and it’s likely going to be a busy day at work, but I’ll have an update for you later this evening.

I have a bad cold so feel free to bot Goggeck.

Bonus: Spotify link for battle music

Russian Circles is so good. They will be supplying a lot of music for our soundtrack.

Also, take care Goggeck! Get some rest, drink some echinacea tea, and get back to us soon!

Urist, I peeked at your character sheet to see, if I bottled Helga right quick, if she could turn insubstantial and move to the back of the skeleton line. If I’m reading it right, that would be a full round action initiated on Urist’s Initiative, not hers.

...Anyways, I just wanted to gently remind you that Urist has a +1 bonus to attacks and dodge bonus against undead.

The ghost trick might be a nice tactic, but it's really pushing the tether limit on how far Helga can stray from Urist.

Hah. Wrote my latest gameplay post before reading the discussion. Tried to edit it into the incoporeal trick and the forum ate my post. I think that's a good a sign as any that Helga should charge forward. At least for one round :D

Cheers, back now.

Toulbe, I hope everything’s going splendid on the baby front and everyone’s healthy and hale and that you’re getting enough sleep.
