The Mouth of Doom (Inactive)

Game Master Grimmy

Sorry for the delay. Still no background or appearance, usually I spend days working up a concept and background, but with the quick acceptance I did not have the time to do it this time, especially with this being a weekend.

HP(Crawling Vine): 2d8 ⇒ (7, 7) = 14 <-- sweet

After going back and forth between a walking tree (mini-treant) and a crawling vine, I decided on the vine.

I threw this character together pretty quick, for me, so if anyone sees any mistakes, let me know.

Other than the background and appearance, I think that I am ready to jump in when an intro spot appears.

Oh you went for the vine, huh? Man you had some cool choices to pick between.

Yeh, I loved the flavor of the puff-ball and the carnivorous flower (can you say Little Shop of Horrors), but the treant and vine seemed like they would be more usable. I am still mulling it over in my head. I actually typed almost the entire treant stats, and then change my mind.

Now that I think of it, the vine is sort of cool. I am thinking of it like a giant snake that you always see being worn around people's necks in cheap b-flicks, except with leaves.

The vine is pretty rad. No pressure on backstory. I think Hound's backstory is "I protect Ridley" and we are all perfectly fine with that.

The party is about 100-200 feet from where you would spawn so intro spot = "I arrive at the gate." or "I get off the boat." Followed by "I walk to the tavern."

That's how we roll in this game :)

Where's all my weekend warriors?

To the Mouth of Doom!

To the Mow!

Hound are we just saying Ogrim healed you up to speed things along? I believe he offered.

Yep

I've been asleep for the last 12 hours ahahaha. The one day of the week I can get more than 4. It was glorious.

And in a couple hours I'm heading out to a bar to watch the super bowl so I may or may not post again before tomorrow.

Apologies guys - weekend filled with family stuff. It has been one loong party since Friday :D

I'll update in a few.

I wasn't expecting much between the fus-ball and usual weekend slowness but I will be around.

I've no interest in the football game but don't want to leave people behind who're enjoying themselves skin's their own thing. My daughter's in town so I'm good with a fairly light game for the next bit. Ridley is down to help out with any funeral arrangements but isn't likely to have much to add. I assume our plan is to make arrangements, rest up for the night, and head out in the morning?

^ Pretty much what I'm assuming, Ridley.

Almost home, not liking the blackberry zed10 for typing I need qwerty keypad!

But guys.. didn't alriks corpse already go to Oolman for salvage parts?

Raziel said he piled corpses plural outside the inn. Symon the initiate + who?

I'm back at my cpu, much better.

Watching the thread in case there's activity.

Map of Wilderness around Zelkor's Ferry updated with a grid to help plan excursions.

3 squares per mile.

Your move guys :)

The Mouth of Doom awaits.

Loot link added to Raziel's profile, and also to the alias header.

Start choosing people, as Raziel is about to head out the door to sell all surplus, and buy stuff we may need.

But first things first - where the heck is the Maw of Doom? :D

Lets see if we can loosen up Old Russ's tongue some more.

Good work, best slam all the coins together into one pile.

Hound looks at the captured gear. I would like the composite bow and 20 arrows.

Will do, still fleshing it out and sorting the stuff ;)

Now you guys are getting it! Good work Raziel.

Hound why did you have your HP down so low before the heal? You only took 6 damage in combat from a punch.

I thought I got whacked with an axe.

Wow you saw that before the edit? Damn that was up for less then 3 seconds. I have to start previewing my posts.

No, you got punched. Don't worry I didn't change it to be nice, I changed it to be consistent with Krull's motive and sense of honor.

Ogrim the XP value in your stat line is not up to date, you guys have 690 already.

Ok guys, someone take over speaking with Russ - I gotta hit the sack as its 4AM over here ;)

Ok, first post up. Will try to get a description and some background up tomorrow.

This may be redundant, but make sure you check out the campaign info tab if you want to tie some things into the setting.

Yeah and give me a knowledge religion roll for druidic lore, a knowledge local roll, and a d%.

Started working on that. Will read more when I have more time. Read through about the first 100 IC posts to get a feeling for the campaign. Will read through the rest of the stuff to make sure that my background fits into the campaign world as best I can.

Rather than being a straight loot searcher, Ghae is here more because she senses that something is disrupting the natural flow of nature and is harming the trees and plants in the area. At least that is my intention. She is neutral, so she is not really concerned with the morals that direct most people's actions. More, she desires to maintain the balance that is nature. She is not particularly concerned whether the person harming nature is good or evil.

Yeah and give me a knowledge religion roll for druidic lore, a knowledge local roll, and a d%.

Knowledge(nature): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

% roll: 1d100 ⇒ 78

OK no rumor but you get the druidic lore. Untrained is an exception for the purpose of this roll.

Hey do you envision druids as belonging to a heirarchical order like they did in AD&D or not so much?

I'm just trying to figure out how much Ghaelja would know about certain things off the bat.

Time for sleep. Hound will just glower in the background.

I have never really seen them as a hierarchy. More as a group that works as a loose alliance to protect nature. With so many alignments allowed (CN, NE, N, LN, and NG) I would have a tough time viewing all druids as bending to the will of one Grand Druid.

I also need to call it a night. Almost midnight here and I should probably try to get some work done tomorrow.

Hey can you edit your last post if you see this before you crash. Just take out plants and trees for now. I'll explain why.

There is a specific blight that will work well but it isn't bothering plants or trees.

Well plants and trees it is then. Puts on thinking cap.

Raziel: hint

Hehe, nice hint ;)

I'll follow up on it in a couple of hours - out for night school in a few.

Or if anyone else wants to pick up where Raziel left - I think we got the locations almost nailed down :D

Today has gone somewhat to hell here. Should be back to normal tonight/tomorrow morning. At the very least I'm going to need a break by tonight so I'll be here to play catchup.

Hope I'm not laying it on too thick with the references to oldschool cliches.

Just need a ten foot pole.

You missed it. Tallie used one to rap on the ceiling and summon Ysbel.

Slow day! Somebody pick a cardinal direction or something :) Roll a d4!

I'm always here. Watching, waiting, posting when you post. How do I know when you post? Perhaps I am closer than you think.

You didn't brush your teeth last night.

Lol.

That is why his name is Grimy. His finger just got stuck on the 'M' key when he was typing his name.

Ya boy stay grimey son.

Ghae if I wanted to give you some plot seed info about the blight you are seeking, how would it have come to you? Via woodland creatures like Rhadaghast the Brown?

Because there's something perfect I just don't know how to set it up.
