The Mouth of Doom (Inactive)

Game Master Grimmy

Will post something later tonight. Got kinda busy this weekend and I haven't finished leveling.

We'll start again Friday.

Are people on track to begin Fri? Ghae, Hound and Raz seem to be leveled up. What about Eli, Ogrim, Q?

Yep, all leveled up - just updated my alias ;)

Was still trying to dig around for a way to somehow keep my FCB, but it is a no go.

All set here

Updated the alias.

All, I am at a bit of a quandary. One of the reasons that Ghae is in the area is to fight a blight that is affecting nature. Initially, I thought that this would lead to the MoD and its demons. In recent discussions with DM Grimmy, it appears that while MoD is clearly evil, really evil, it is not actually causing a "blight". However, the new group of recruits in the third (fourth?) party are starting in another dungeon that is close by which is causing serious problems for nature.

Which leads me to my question:
In speaking with Grimmy, I can join with the new guys and fight this blight. After this, I can rejoin you all. I am sure that this is what Ghae would seek to do IC. At the same time, I would be leaving you all for the first part of the MoD.

Any thoughts on this are appreciated. I like this group, but this seems like a what my character would do (she would have learned of this from Killian). Also, from the advertising for this campaign, it is clear that some changing of players between parties was sort of envisioned from the beginning.

I am posting this just to let you all know. I really want to head into the MoD, but at the same time feel that to RP this correctly she should temporarily branch off and then meet back up with you all in the Ferry once the other dungeon is finished.

Here is the other dungeon in question Dungeon of Dread.

It's a super short 1 level dungeon bash.

Basically it's just outside Killian's territory but he's going to take advantage of the recent treaty violation by the Hecate faction to escort some captive PC's to the dungeon entrance to retrieve a family heirloom. (Normally he ransoms captive PC's to Zelkor's Ferry).

If anyone else wants to go they can too but it has to be an odd number (0, 1 or 3).

Q would be interested.

Jesus. I haven't seen any posts in here since the last time I posted. My campaign tab hasn't been telling me that anything new has happened. I'll update Eli tonight when I get off work (about 4 hours from this post) and send the new .por to you, Grim. I might have missed it though, when are we actually levelling up? The last post I see in game is from last Saturday, Trangles just took off with Killian. Is that still where we're at?

Yeah that's still where we're at, we paused to level up. Supposed to resume tomorrow but I was getting a little worried about you and Ogrim!

We already rolled the encounter checks for the rest of the way back to the ferry and got no results, so when we pick up it will be safely back at the Ferry and leveled up.

Likewise if Ghae follows Killian she will level up in his camp before resuming gameplay.

Okay, sounds good. I don't know why I wasn't getting any notifications for this. I wasn't having any issues with other campaigns.

In character, there's no way I'd head over to DoD. I've got s##* to take care of in RA.

In character Q's smitten. I think he'll follow Ghae.

Yeah, I was pretty sure Eli was focused on MoD^^

@Q, if you want to go there's two ways to fluff it IC off the top of my head
1.) Mouth off and get captured by Killian
2.) If Ghae goes with him, go all white knight and follow to make sure she's ok.

But the OOC consideration is posting rate. IC comes first but in the back of my mind I am always looking at the big roster of players thinking they would be happiest grouped with people of similar pace preference/posting availability etc...

Not that Q has ever dragged the game down or anything like that, but you have expressed feeling overwhelmed by the pace before.

So just be aware, with DoD, post rate/pace was a bigger part of the conversation in recruitment than it was for MoD, so it is likely going to be a clip pace.

Edit: Ninja'd. Ok, IC comes first. So if Ghae goes Q will go. (but I do need an odd number)

Well before we were doing like 40-50 posts a day and that's when it was hard to keep up. I'd lose my bow and it would be buried like 40 posts back somewhere. Recently we've dropped back down to something reasonable so if they're posting dozens of times a day then yeah, I may want to keep away from that.

Well I haven't seen them in action yet, but they all said they are able to check multiple times a day and post whenever there is something in the thread to react to, so it sounds like potential post flurries are on the forecast..

On my end I'll just try to keep up with whatever they can throw at me. If everyone's posting at least once a day average I won't be nudging for more, but I won't be pulling on the reins either.

With the exception of theater gigs and some of the big arena productions I can usually post enough from work to keep up with just about anything.

Jesus. I haven't seen any posts in here since the last time I posted. My campaign tab hasn't been telling me that anything new has happened. I'll update Eli tonight when I get off work (about 4 hours from this post) and send the new .por to you, Grim. I might have missed it though, when are we actually levelling up?

This happens to me when I erase all my cookies and get logged out of Paizo. Then I keep checking my Campaign tab and don't see anything. After a day or so I realize what happened and end up with a hundred or more posts to read.

Yeah, I check multiple times per day, normally, but all of the massive bouts of posting here happens when I'm asleep. No matter what time of day that happens to be. It'd be infuriating if I didn't find it so funny.

I didn't clear anything though and I haven't seen updates on any of three different computers. I have no idea what happened.

Let me know soonish guys.

0, 1 or 3 transfers is fine. (It needs to be an odd number because DoD is a split. I guess I could even manage 2 though, by inviting one of the DoD PC's over to MoD.)

Geographically it's nearby and when it's over the PC's will dump right at Zelkor's Ferry so re-integration with MoD will be seamless.

Story-wise it would be very organic. Basically DoD is happening because of the actions of your PC's which is pretty neat. Whether any of you are there to see it or it just stays off screen is up to you.

I hate to desert you all as the group was coming together, but I think that I will go with Killian. It is up to others how they want to play this. As Grimmy said, we will be reunited before too long.

Blight, shmight. Ogrim is not interested.

Alias updated. Took scribe scroll.

Stay with current group

After mulling it over, I am taking Starlight Summons as my level 3 feat.

I understand the draw to stay with the group, but it is really hard IC where there is a blight that needs to be stopped which is what Ghae is all about. Personally I would like the whole group to go, but it sounds like there are not enough slots for that. In addition, as Grimmy has said, as soon as I finish the DoD, I will be back in the Ferry to rejoin you all.

Also, I have played some of the first level of MoD (possibly all, the other DM is creative and with the strange things in the dungeon, so it is hard to tell how much I have played). Thus, for OOC reasons, this is a good fit.

Health: 1d10 ⇒ 8

I can deal with that. Eli lvl 3 is up. The .por will be emailed your way shortly.

Edit: profile updated! Eli's ready to go!

Received!

Quick phone post as I drive home to say Raziel is definitely staying for MoD.

I am worried that the group may be just too small..? We're down to what? Four?

Should be 5 - Hound, Eli, Raz, Q and Ogrim. You are level 3, almost level 4 and MoD is supposedly doable, at least the first level, by lower level characters. You also have most of the areas covered, weak in arcane, but my being with you will not help the arcane casting.

If Q really goes I could send you one from DoD if you want.

MoD claims to be appropriate for 4-6 PC's level 1-2. But that's by FGG standards, they are a bit demented.

Edit: I think that will make things complicated and delay gameplay from resuming though. Maybe it is best if Q just stays.

I think everyone should have a chance to play what they want if possible. So if Q wants to go, he should.

Ghaelja is right - we've got most bases covered. Soon I hope to get fully into my Arcane abilities, we've got divine, roguish, face, and hard hitting, strong front liners. The only area more lacking is ranged, but we just have to play it smarter. We'll be fine.

Also, I like the challenge.

Yeah good point but like I said I needed an odd number of transfers this time... 0, 1 or 3 would be fine but 2 is tricky.

Your call boss. I'm staying ;)

Cool.

Q stays. But he will find Ghae again one day.

Grimmy, I was just thinking - didn't we find the 'other' tablet? The one we were supposedly communicating with? :D

Lol - we could stay in communication, that would be fun.

Hmmmm, dunno... Raziel is kinda upset at you bailing out ;)

Oh yeah, totally!

Can we send selfies through the tablet?!

It's more for micro-blogging... Just status updates...

Support for Vines is in development for the new OS.

Actually I was planning on keeping it in the group to relay intel when Raziel is scouting.

But I'll admit contacting Ghae is a higher purpose ;)

Ah, you all tree-t me so well.

You guys have anything you need to do in the Ferry before heading out?

It's just six miles to the dungeon and you know the way now, so if you want to head there it's pretty much just one randome encounter check and a cut-scene away.

All set

We should probably stock up on some healing potions, if any are available.

Ulman dark sells a concoction for 250GP that functions as CLW but he warns you should never consume 2 in one day.

I think we have yet to make any money. Plus our horses got swiped by Killian.

Right.
