Man-flu is mean! Take care.
Apologies for the delay - trying to get things back on track
I'll be on vacation from July 25 to August 2. I won't be able to post much if at all. Please bot me as you see fit.
Indeed, welcome back :)
I'll be in meetings tomorrow most of the workday. Don't expect much from me until after 2PM CST.
Long weekend camping. Be back Mon. Jaru is just circling back to watch the shop.
Still waiting on the next moves - she isn't away just yet. Nalun has done a mavellous job of keeping up with her.
no GenCon for me, but I will be out at a music camp all week. Jaru's just keeping an eye on the shop. GMPC me as needed. Be back 8th.
Have fun!
Can I get a vote on Emmett and what he will do? Everyone else is out of the chase.
Bueller? Bueller?
*crickets chirp*
Can Emmett catch up and take the woman down? Because Nalun, while an excellent chaser, has proven less than great at catching.
Well, Emmett would definately try....
He would (still away but found a few seconds. Nice chase!)
Have I killed this game off? I hope not...
Hi all, I'm back. I don't think I'm anywhere near the action, but will note that she did detect as evil which means she's likely a cultist type or very, very bad human or something worse...
She's admitted to working with body thieves so at least she should be jailed for the night (perhaps her potion duration will expire...)
and we can get a warrant to go get Grine.
Any more questions?
Business travel tomorrow - will need 24-48 hours so use this time to RP among yourselves on your next course of action.
I am so happy with you guys I could nearly burst - some great interpersonal RP along with remembering you have the rope of climbing.
I am hips deep in some work stuff but I have Sat/Sun off and can get roll20 and maps set up for you then.
Its hard for me to describe without a picture but try to imagine a 2 story tall cube that goes straight up. Thats the bulding.
Now remove a smaller square open area from the overall building in one corner. Thats the wall, gate and courtyard.
The only way that is available by conventional means to get in is over the wall or through the gate and this leads into the open area which then leads into the building.
BUT
With a rope of climbing? I'd let you access a second story window OR even the roof which appears to have some towers on top that MAY possibly give access via the roof.
Pictures I can post later in a day or two but I am hoping this is enough for you to go on with for now. Its dark enough for you (with care) to climb without attracting attention and the ambient moon light is enough to see by for now.
Yep, one last hurrah for the summer! I'll be camping Sun- Wed and out of contact. DMPC as needed.
I am stuck with 16 hr days. Gimme a day or so - I want to do this justice
Should have it up and running tomorrow - thanks for your patience.
Okkaybe
Have I mired my game? Not sure if I've buggered up the tempo here.
I've found this combat exceptionally hard to follow...
Example: Is it my turn? I've lost track of which rounds I've posted actions for.
Try to put the current round in bold at the top of your posts, that way you can see when you've acted.
Sorry guys inspiration and posting have been slow of late. Will try to improve
Please note I'll be away until Sunday night. I'll try to post when possible.
Nah - just flat atm. I think I could have done a better job of making this battle more dynamic but I am proud of you guys for handling the Chymic works the way you have done. Good creative thinking getting into the place.
I'll be on travel on the weekend and back Monday (tentative)
On travel for the next few days. Posting will be affected.
Posting will still be erratic.
Looking back at the combat here I think I could have made it more dynamic and I missed several opportunities to challenge you all without taking away from your smart play advantages.
Lesson learned for me.
Simeon, why do you have disrupt undead taking up two slots? you have unlimited casting of cantrips and should pick four different ones that you can use each day, no?
The DCs are pretty hard here so I've E6'ed them.
All that remains is the box under Grines bed with a gold key, possibly immersed in acid - it definitely smells acidic.
i'm not particularly interested in a 'Frostfur Captives' derail with the mongrelmen. I was hoping the GM would give us something more definite to do with them. if all they want is to be left in the factory then I'm happy to move on.
We can hand wave it - I'm not worried about you being saddled with them like the goblins you reference :) Using the church to take them in is fine.
They are in the module but were taken a step further to be more a RP thing for me illustrating fear generated by the very xenophobic natives of Ustalav
I'm away this weekend and will probably be unable to post. Please bot me as needed.
Thats what I was looking for Elidal - nice to know I nailed it
work is getting me atm - will try to keep up with the game
Trying my best folks!
Just the Iron door left to open
That was a fun encounter - let's see how it pans out ... Oh and step level up again after this battle.
These 'subjects' have undergone some tweaking and are not 100% as found in the books. I took away some of their other immunities but gave them chanelling immunity to balance and make it more thematic.
Wonders of science... or abominations.
And again you are left to wonder: What will happen to them now? Can they even be saved?
I am grateful for Naluns magic because it really freed up the opportunity for this RP, I just wasn't sure if I could get it out with all the combat.
