Not doing a bad job. Just think of the average gamer if you want to know how to play an intelligent individual with poor social skills.

ooo! flumphs!
Bad week ... Patience. Regular posting schedule will resume no later than Friday
Assuming its a first level potion,
Nice roll! That's good CLW right there.
yes indeed thank you sir.
@ Garold ... all well, just a combination of work and family responsibilities smacking me around.
I'll be honest, I'm a little unclear on the coming together part, hence the slowness to post. It kind of sounded like Garold's group was moving to a private room? Maybe we should do introductory style posts again where we describe our characters?
After reading the Thursday morning posts from Wendel, Garold, and Bane it appeared that you were heading into a private room. So when I posted Stanrick’s arrival, I thought they would be in that room. I do see how in my post describing Stanrick looking for familiar faces might be viewed as trying to catch Garold’s eye (so to speak). I wasn’t trying to imply that; merely showing a bit of his excitement about being back in his hometown. Stanrick would not purposely ignore Garold. They’re fellow orphans and Garold was a guardian for him.
I don’t mind reworking the scene if we need to. However, an easy way for our two groups to meet would be for the barwoman to point the “Marissa group” to the other group already in the private room.
Garold and Stanrick's connection could ease the rest of the group together.
How's about Garold goes out of the private room to acquire food and water for the group? And then he "runs" into Stanrick? If that works, I'll be glad to post up something to get it started.
That works fine Wendel. Indeed better than my idea. Maybe waiting for the DM to post the barwoman's reply about the pin might be good though. The posts were already getting complicated with our order for entering the bar.
Bliz raised a good point, which is that he is fairly well known in Levkarest. Added to the notoriety brought by his musical talent is the fact that he is a gnome, a rare enough creature in these parts that he would have a reputation.
Anyone who thinks their character might know of him can feel free to make a knowledge: local check (DC 15) and pester him for whatever relevant information you feel a success would gain you.
On a related note, does it seem strange that the more powerful a creature is, the more difficult the DC to identify and reveal their powers is?
Sputtering the beginning to a variety of sentences, not sure how to begin, Stanrick allows himself to be pulled by Garold towards the back. Looking over his shoulder, he makes a silent plea for patience from the girl, from Isabeau, and his other companions. He nods in understanding to the barwoman.
”I can spare a few minutes now, but you see...oh how do I explain this? Do you want to meet some people I met today?” Garold helped him as a boy and is one of the few people from the orphanage that Stanrick trusted.

...like...dragons fly. :p
Sorry for posting in the wrong thread...let me repost in "Gameplay" where it belongs.
Bane,
I've left the details about Isabeau's mother vague just in case you wanted there to be an actual reason that she looks like his dead wife. She might be an illegitimate child that was given to the kindly priest to find a home for her and he simply kept her as his own instead or he might not be such a kindly priest after all and stole the child away.
Or she might not be related at all, with just enough weird coincidence to make Bane wonder. Just an idea, up to you! I just thought it might be fun and possibly give him a reason to not murder Lucia when her next big reveal hits. ^_^
That would be cool. If you were Bane's wife's secret sister or something. It would make you an aunt to his daughter and give you a reason to care. We should see where that leads if you're down.
Wedding this weekend (not mine) so posting will resume Sunday (late) or Monday
@ DM Nerk: Have fun!
@ Bane & Isabeau: That sounds like a great idea. Having that kind of tie would add a big flavor to the group dynamic. Even better, you guys should keep this plot thread PM so it even keeps the rest of us in suspense! (with appropriate DM support, of course:))
Sorry for the lack of posting. My wife sprained her back so I have been on 24 hour infant watch until she is better. That means a serious lack of posting devotion. I will post as often as I can though.
What's the next step? Are we waiting for the gm? Or was stanrick's question directed towards wendel?
I should have been clearer in my post. Stanrick’s question was not specifically directed towards Wendel, but open enough for anyone in that group to answer it.
Hey gang, got meetings all day today and evening plans. I'll try and post tomorrow.
Sorry all, Mother is in town and I will be out for another... 24 hours or so. GM, Please feel free to GMPC my char until my return to keep things moving. I will be checking back in regularly, but won't have the time to post. See you all soon!
Alrighty, I am back!
Shhh, this is the scene where we're all sleeping... ;)
Yeah, still here
Indeed, still here. I have just been a bit swamped with my little one. The wife is still healing so it is kinda difficult to post. Besides, I don't really have anything too constructive to add to the conversation. I am waiting til the scene progresses.
I've also been busy as well as experiencing a series of unfortunate events. >_< I'm working on my post now, though!
Sill here, would you keep it down? I'm sleeping my troubles away.

Can I just say that you guys are awesome?
As a GM, there's nothing better than putting my feet up and watching you guys advance the story. So if it seems I've been dozing lately, it's largely because I'm liking what's happening.
Please, nudge me if you feel like you're groping around in the dark, looking for the path. Sometimes a GMs effort to not force things in a particular direction can seem like there's no direction to go in, and critical details that you learned several weeks ago might not be as fresh in your mind as if you'd learned them yesterday, as your characters did.
Still here. Hope things are going well!
Same. (See above post by Wendel)
here as well.
I am here.
OK Lads & Lasses
Tomorrow I go in for surgery, and hopefully that ends with me able to focus enough to make substantive posts here. Thank you for your patience.
Your DM
All the best! Prayers are with you for your surgery and speedy recovery.
Wow. Surgery... Forget the game. Just bet better. Your health is priority number 1.
