So Dorn will snag the +1 Shield cloak. It's equal to his current shield so if anyone else wants it then feel free. But if not, he'll use it for now just because it's interesting. :)
Also:
Scroll of Barkskin
Mwk Warhammer
And 1 of the clw potions(Kaleb can snag the other 2).
All right, I'll try to get the funeral post up when I get a block of time tomorrow.
Pause for any possible reactions to the first part of the funeral; will finish it up tomorrow.
Welp, he ain't getting any deader! Let's go hunt us some orcs, folks! Yee-haw! ;)
Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I stole part of it from The Emperor's New Groove. Great movie by the way. I highly recommend it.
And the last part I stole from my brother. In an RL game a few years ago, my brother-in-law's pc died in battle(fortunately we got him raised) and we were all around his fallen body distraught while my brother(playing a ranger) was running around chasing fleeing ogres busting out with, "Whoo-hoo! I got me another 'un!" :)
Off again for another oilfield vacation on Monday - though this time it'll be for three weeks. So will be incognito from the 5th through to the 27th September. This 'should' be the last offshore stint with this client though, so hopefully my company will pick up some office work come October and I'll get an extended stint back in KL.
Once again apologies for the intermittent and sporadic involvement... though again hopefully it'll improve after this trip.
Sorry, guys; I've had a bad cold this weekend and haven't mustered the energy to move the game ahead. I'll reply to the PCs tomorrow.
Nice to see you drop in, Mark!
"You just take care, Miss Joana. You're important and we'd rather wait for you than lose you."
AK has determined that his current work schedule doesn't allow him the time to participate fully in the game, a fact which, while unwelcome, is probably unsurprising to anyone.
Kaleb, therefore, is going to be accepted as a volunteer with the expeditionary force, on the strength of his dwarven training and relationship with Omast Frum. That will leave the active PCs behind in Trunau (where the plot-relevant action is), while also allowing the possibility of AK rejoining the game (and Kaleb returning to Trunau) in the future, should his schedule slacken appreciably.
Farewell again Alex :-)
And, just a reminder to the rest of you once more because character conflict is so hard to separate from player conflict, I'm okay with what your characters have said and done. I'm using Marikel to question your actions but I'm okay with your answers.
Marikel has a high wisdom and charisma, so I want him to be likable. But I also want to show his imperfections. After all, there are reasons why he's not a Paladin. :-)
Of course, as hand picked players of Joana, I figure you guys already know that and won't take things personally. But if you ever feel my playing up of Marikel's faults is detracting from the game, please let me know.
Fun first. :-)
If no one has any objections, I'll move us forward to the next morning and the departure of the away team tomorrow.
No objections here.
It's ok Marikel... I've dried away my tears :P
I've got the ultimate recourse anyway... Phil could just convince Braddon to do something questionable "No no Braddon, it's critical - you can't drop the kipper until after the cheese hits the floor."
Vhailor needs an ear smack everynow and then anyhow.
Marikel had his (unproductive) rant. :-)
Happy to move on unless someone wants to try following the Councillor against Marikel's better judgement. :-)
And yes Mark... I am trying a much less easy going character with Marikel. He'd probably be happy to see Braddon suffer. :-)
Fine with me.
Putting a watch on Sawyer's house or going to bed?
Ali will pretend to go to bed and then sneak into Sawyer's house. >.>
Sorry; that's something that could easily take up a week of posts back or forth, succeed or fail, while the other players have nothing to contribute. I don't mind splitting the party when everyone has something interesting to do, but that would leave everyone else on the sidelines for too long.
Also:
Yay!
*Alicia sulks and goes to bed.*

Ah ha! So there is something there. :-)
It's probably supposed to be at the end of the module.
Don't worry Ansha, we'll probably make it there soon.
:-D
Is everyone going to go to the Commons with the rest of the town, or does anyone want to do something else during the assembly, given that you already know what's going to be announced?
It's after midnight here, and I'm going to have to type out Halgra's speech for the next post. Let me sleep first, and I'll get it done tomorrow.
I will await impatiently all night if I must!
Sorry; you're going to have to wait another day. I had a busy day and then found out tonight that someone reactivated my defunct Netflix account that still had my credit card number associated with it. Had to call Netflix and get the charge reversed and account cancelled, and I still have to contact my bank to get a new card number (and then try to remember everywhere that has my card on file for recurring billing and call them to update it).
Tomorrow for sure!
Aaaand I'm officially back in the land of the living as of yesterday - still easing back into home life (and it's school holidays for my eldest as well), but you can expect a slightly more compos mentis player for the next little while as well.
Should hopefully find out over the next couple of weeks whether my stay onshore will be an extended one this time as well.
Wow, so many complete sets.
I only have like one or two complete sets.
About that many dice though... :-)
So many sets missing a dice or two...
We have some of those Chessex sets: the brown-and-cream on the far right, and the green-and-white and copper-and-green fourth and fifth from the left.
The ones fourth from the right: Are those those metal dice from the Kickstarter?
Those two-tones are Halfsies dice from kickstarter; and aye 4th from the right are the Q Workshop metal dice from the KS.
Those two-tones are Halfsies dice from kickstarter
Huh. They look just like these from that picture, though I can see from the Kickstarter photo where you can see more faces that they're more half-and-half than swirled like the Gemini dice are.
Yeah the colours are likely pretty close on - the half and half shows up alot better in hand than from one angle. The black and white ones (yin-yang) are pretty cool.
My faves are the ceramic ones (slightly undersize) on the right... but unfortunately the guy that made them isn't in business anymore.
Marikel and Alicia: going to tag along with Vhailor and Dorn, or is there something else you want to do?
I'm going to be traveling for the next ten days and might be without internet access entirely part of this week. I'll try to check in at least once a day, when I'm able. Sorry for the delay.
Enjoy your travels. Relax.
Come back to us renewed and refreshed with more great gaming.
'Cause, it's all about us... :-)
That actually works for me. This week has been kinda crazy for me anyway so enjoy your time off. At least I won't feel too guilty for not posting. :P
Will still and try to post when I can though.
All right, we are back up and running, guys. Sorry for the delay.
Mark, I saw these in a gift shop on our vacation and had to take a picture for you! I don't think you have any quite like these.
Very nice!
I do have Tiger's Eye, Amethyst, Obsidian polysets and a smattering of other d6s
and some of these coming.
At this point, I'm kind of expecting the group to come together again, but I'm waiting on confirmation from Alicia if she's done with her 'scene.'
Vhailor is fine with a happy / cordial / uncomfortably stiff reunion of minds.
She'll keep following them til she can't any more (presumably into Sawyer's house?). So if nothing else happens, yeah, she's done.
Ansha? You around?
Yeah, sorry. Been really busy lately. I keep seeing posts, thinking I'd respond to them later, and then forgetting, lately.
Okay, I'll be moving the timeline ahead hopefully tomorrow. The first part of this adventure had a lot of story awards, but we will shortly be entering the combat portion of this module. This isn't anything your PCs should be surprised by, given that they know there's an army of orcs heading Trunau's way, so casters ought to be preparing spells in case each day is the day that the enemy shows up. In addition, please make sure that if your PC wants anything off the loot list that it's claimed and on your profile. This is the time to buy anything you want to purchase as well; you all know what may be coming so you should be well-prepared.
Did someone take the belt of tumbling? I feel like someone did but I can't remember.
And Dorn has these items:
masterwork warhammer
+1 shield cloak
potion of cure light wounds x1(There's 3. I'm also pretty sure someone took the other 2 but I can't remember that either). :P
crowbar
Almost forgot!
Scroll of Barkskin
And if no one wants that Belt of Tumbling, I'll sure snag it.
But that's ONLY if no one else wants it. I'm not gonna let it go to waste. Alicia would obviously benefit from it the best. My Acrobatics score really isn't any good but I like those minor useful items. They're great! :)
Does anyone wish to claim any of the following items?
masterwork morningstar
masterwork studded leather armor
belt of tumbling
potion of cure light wounds x2
potion of vanish x2
bag of alchemically-treated coals
stonechipper salve
tangleburn bag
alchemists' fire x2
ghost ink x2
Small centipede poison x2
antitoxin x2
liquid blade x2
thunderstone
I need either the items you want or a statement that you don't want any, and I'll assume you've sold the rest of the items. (I agree that Ali seems the obvious choice for the belt of tumbling, but if she doesn't want it, it will go to Dorn.)
Mark, this looked up your alley ... but it's only open to American entrants. :(
I'll take the rest of the cure lights. I can give them to whoever needs them when needed.
And also:
tangleburn bag
alchemists' fire x2
antitoxin x2
thunderstone
potion of vanish x2
bag of alchemically treated coals
Okay, that's all I'm taking.
For the record, I'm taking these things just so we have them because I feel they might be useful. If anyone wants any of these items just let me know. It's no big deal to me.
Edit: Dorn has a regular warhammer that he'll throw in the sell pile.
Yeah - I'd be able to rustle up something that Joana... but the non-US clause does dampen the enthusiasm somewhat.
I have no idea where the Belt of Tumbling went but Alicia definitely would find it useful. The Potions of Vanish could be useful for her too, given sneak attack. The Liquid Blades too.
masterwork morningstar
masterwork studded leather armor
stonechipper salve
ghost ink x2
Small centipede poison x2
Marikel and Vhailor, no interest in these? If no one claims them, I'll consider them sold.
