The Dark is Rising - WotW Part II (Inactive)

Game Master Darkness Rising

Heh... I did not notice it until it was mentioned by Etna. Check the inscription again under DMD'S relevant spoiler. Some letters are slightly bigger than the rest or at least it seems so.

Yeah, when I copy-pasted it I forgot that the [bigger][bigger] would go away. <.<

It's a little hard to see on phone, but if you are on PC you can highlight it and it becomes very clear which letter is written bigger.

Thanks, Etna, now I see it. Though I wonder whether it's the words rather than the letters that are significant.

"E. Nigma? An obvious and rather sophomoric clue. Treat it as a safe combination. Move it three times to the left, twice right, and once more left. Obviously."

Indeed, a most scrutable riddle...

Perfect. :)

I'm going to be out of country from 2-26 to 3-10, and probably won't have the opportunity to check email much. It is probably easiest if Taty is just hanging back with the Boggards doing research during this time, but if needed, feel free to bot her for whatever, though she'll prefer the Templar open any doors than herself :)

Have fun, Taty!

Hi all - internet connection has died (it's just one damn thing after another at the moment). Posting from my phone is fine but intermittent.

Apologies. Should be back up in 5 working days, apparently.

Can you create a hotspot with your phone and connect to it with your computer? I do this all the time when away from home.

Short answer: no

Longer answer: I have absolutely no idea what that question is even asking.

In case anyone's PDF library is in need of padding:

I was just looking at that as well. I've got most of the books, but it's still a great deal.

Eh, I also saw at first that I had most of the pdfs. Then I noticed that I didn't have the bestiaries and was planning to buy them anyway, and now I find myself with something like 40 pdfs. <.<

I already had quite a few myself, but, hey, charity. :)

Hope everyone is doing well.

Woof!

Hungry!!!

Thanks for thinking of us all, AU. I hope your health is better.

Anyone here going to PaizoCon?

Someday hopefully, not this year

Other than a pinched nerve in my back, my health is currently good, thank you. Was thinking of trying to make it up to PaizoCon this year, but can't get the time off work. Maybe another year.

Quick update, as I realise I haven't posted in a while. I'm still around!

Turns out my internet problems aren't just my internet problems, there's an infrastructure issue that means new cabling is needed. That's scheduled for March 9th and I'll be re-connected some time after that (when my ISP is damn good and ready, I suppose).

Doesn't (much) affect the games I'm playing in, as I can post from my phone. The games I'm DMing, on the other hand...

...no maps.

So, we're going to continue this the old-fashioned way, theatre of the mind style, and I'll map it up once I'm back online.

I'm away this weekend but I'll have a post up on Monday morning to re-start things.

Awesome . . . Tkaara begins to map out her next meal.

I was thinking of something...at our current level, what options we have to locate a specific person so I can Greater Teleport to him, and then come back? I wanted to check on how Grumblejack (and Sakkarot) is doing.

Scroll of Scrying might be your best bet.

Everyone all right?

Nope, I'm all left.

FYI, I posted an updated map of the level. I will try to keep up with the maps until DMD gets his computer back.

Thanks Tkaara.

The good news is, my ISP is finally sending someone round to fix things - I should be online again tomorrow morning. Yay!

Apologies for keeping you all hanging.

Hanging is much less effective if one does not breathe.

No worries, glad to hear matters are being seen to.

Happy to know that we're almost back. Woohoo!

Nope, I'm all left.

It took me a minute to get this. <.<

I'm back, and riding fibre-optics! It is so good to be typing at a keyboard instead of my phone, I can't tell you.

Gang - sorry to say it, but just as DM Asmo gets his digital feet back under him, I'm invaded by visiting family for the next week, so my posting will be on the slow and erratic side. But glad we'll be going again!

Wipe them out. All of them.

I mean, erm, have fun with family! Yes. That is definitely what I meant.

I'm here, by the way, just don't have anything more interesting to post than 'The Doctor continues to wait silently.' :P

^ Same here. Taty's just waiting to see if Tkaara returns what intel Tkaara returns with.

Ditto.

Same!

Tkaara posted two actions in her second to last post, before the chatting with Etna. I think everyone is waiting on the investigation behind the next door.

Woof! Woof!

Tkaara smiles at Winston and tosses a bone for him. She then glances at Taty to see if she noticed that the Templar is now armless.

Woof! Woof!

Cute puppy! Is it yours?

Tkaara smiles at Winston and tosses a bone for him. She then glances at Taty to see if she noticed that the Templar is now armless.

Let it be known for the record that Taty did notice the Templar's missing arms, and she found it hilarious!

Hi all, hope you had a good Easter. Sorry for the delay, but I'm now back at my computer.

There is really very little of interest left on this floor, so I'm just going to do a single post covering all of it. You can interact as you see fit and then decide where to go next.

One thing, though: by the time you finish this floor, it's night. Tkaara definitely needs to sleep (8 hours in a coffin); the rest of you don't have to but will be fatigued if you don't. Let me know where you plan to set up camp and what the watch schedule is.

One more thing: I'm moving the room descriptions from the campaign tab to the Admin spreadsheet. That way, as you make changes you can record them yourselves - e.g. stationing boggard guards at particular sections and so on.

Winston rejoices as he picks up the Templar's arm: let's see if he can manage to be a better butler than him with only one arm!

Winston, Etna's familiar wrote:

Woof! Woof!

Oh, no, just found it around. Always lived in the city, never had room for any kind of pet. :/

@DMD: Got it! I suppose we can just sleep in the same place we did the day before? Or even in one of the empty rooms we found, really.

As she didn't the night before, Etna can take up two hours of the watch schedule.

And done! I've copied the details to the Admin sheet.

Plus, I note that the loot sheet isn't up to date: the things you've found in the Horn (manacles of cooperation, Stone Salve, etc) aren't listed.

Winston rejoices as he picks up the Templar's arm: let's see if he can manage to be a better butler than him with only one arm!

Ha! He's a particularly servile and snivelly Templar (or so Taty imagines he would be, if he could talk). Better take his other arm just to be sure!

Re: Watch. Taty will take whatever is needed. She'll burn a point of focus to have darkvision for her watch.

Hi - I've had 2 players drop out of my CotCT game; I'm looking to replace them.

The game is playtesting the Unchained rules, there's a list of which ones at the top of thread (link here).

We've lost the arcane support (white-haired witch) and the skill monkey (Unchained rogue) and I'm looking for reasonable equivalents (e.g. wizard/sorcerer/arcanist/bard etc for arcane support).

Etna and Tkaara, you applied first time round - are you still interested? AU and Felrin, feel free to throw your hat in if you want. (Erevan & Taty are excluded, for obvious reasons...)

Yusssssssssssss!

Ahem. I'm definitely interested. I submitted an Investigator, so that should work perfectly for a skill monkey, and a number of new poison related stuff came out recently, so I'm still in for giving poisons a spin.

@where to make camp: Felrin's suggestion makes sense: let's go for the tavern. Really, if anything tries to attack us, we've still got all of our spells and stuff anyway. :P

What is the posting rate like? There are only 600 posts after 8 months which seems really slow. Also, how far into the game are you? I have played a way into the CotCT, although it was hard to tell how much the DM skipped as things seemed to jump around.

I still have the build for my character, fortunately I save most of my builds on my computer.

Posting rate is not ideal, which is on me, I guess; although the two I've lost were arguably the two slowest posters.

My aim is to inject a bit of momentum with some new blood.
