As Torod sets up his tent, Strawberry bumps him. Torod gives a dismissive wave and the cat dashes off. "I am a druid in the service of Erastil. I am here to defend the Power of the world." He then goes about making some tea. At first he seems to be making enough for himself only, then he grimaces and asks "Would anyone else like some?" He'll make enough for everyone to have one cup.
"Thank you," Asta says, calmly accepting a cup. From a nearby tree, a raven caws - some of you may realize the black bird has been trailing the group all day - but the Ulfen girl waves a dismissive hand at it. "Tea is not good for you, Croft."
If anyone gives Asta an odd look, she explains: "My familiar. Kindly don't take pot-shots at him. As you may have guessed, magic is my specialty. I'm not too bad at healing magic, but I can also do the other kind."
"I'll- I'll keep that in mind."
Crazy people. Crazy people everywhere!
"Yes, please."
Valeria sets her sword down to take the cup, thanking Torod as she does so. She slowly sips at the drink while the conversation continues. After finishing her cup, she returns itto Torod and then stretches out on her bedroll, propping her head up on one hand to continue talking while the drinks warmth dissipates.
Suddenly remembering that the elf had asked if she wanted tea, Terri quickly replies.
"Oh, um, no thanks."
FYI, thread did spill over to Gameplay thread.
Alright, then please ignore that last post.
Just for the record, are we aware of the expectation of us to found a city/nation here in the Stolen Lands? As of right now, the charter only has us exploring and thwarting banditry and other criminals. I've been playing Valeria as if we only know what the charter tasks us with.
Any thoughts and/or suggestions from everyone regarding what we, as characters, know about what the Swordlords expect and have planned for us down here at this point?
I mean what do our characters know of our mission? Do we only know what the charter has outlined or have we been informed that once we explore and tame the region we will be given that land to settle and rule?
Kender, given my background, have I perhaps been through Oleg's before? Just curious.
K gotcha.
I am a RN at a hospital, so I have no regular schedule or posting times, as I can either be working day or night shift (depending on the month) in 12 hour blocks. However, I always have my phone with me at work, so I can easily post multiple times a day when I'm off work and depending on how busy things are, I can post at least once a day on days that I do work.
If I go a day without posting, it's not due to a lack of interest or even unavailability per se. If my character doesn't have anything to input in the particular situation, I generally will remain silent. If you would prefer I post at least my character's thoughts, just let me know and I will do that.
Generally available between 5:30 PM and 10:30 PM CST on weekdays. I'm planning on running a real life game on Sunday afternoons, but I'm generally on most of Saturday.
Today has been pretty slow at the office, so that's why I've been posting a bit. I'm also on during my lunch break, but I wouldn't count on that.
I’ve got a desk job that’s kind of slow this month. Under normal circumstances I’ll check in and post once or twice a day, either on Kinderkin's schedule or late evening.
I'm usually available every morning, and late at night - from my CET perspective.
Gotta love posting with an iPhone. Autocorrect changed "dissension" to "dissection" which I'm not even sure is a word...lmao.
Dissection is what you do to formaldehyde-soaked pigs and frogs in science class. ;)
I am pretty sure that is only one "s" though, but at this hour after 12 hours of work who knows. haha
Nope, it's two of those.
Ready. Hey, are the squares in the map of Oleg's 10' or 5'?
Ear-piercing scream and Mage armor prepared. Evil Eye and Healing Hexes primed.
Ready.
Ready, Although I think Valeria missed the spoiler for her in my last post.
Hmm. I'd probably better stand behind one of the two big buildings, then move to within 30 ft. to Evil Eye people...
Just saw it Terri. Missed it earlier. We can catch that up.
Ready. Given that I will be at work for the next 4-5 hours, though, I am going to post a brief synopsis of what Valeria intends to do, in case things develop quickly so I don't hold things up. Valeria will hide behind the gate between the wall and guest house and wait for the bandits to move into the courtyard and begin messing with the "goods." Then, she will quickly give the signal and close the gates, and take a defensive stance and try to get the bandits to surrender. If things go beyond that and I haven't responded yet, she will focus her attacks on the perceived leader in hopes of making the rest lose the will to fight once he falls.
Forgot my +1 from Bless, not that it matters, but...Waaaaaaahhh!
Haha, perhaps we could get her to sign onto the charter. Lol!
The attack on Heptamegistos would have hit were it not for Asta’s spell. Teamwork!
So, is there anything left after Hepta the Great got done with his kung-fu routine.
I had made another action post but it apparently got lost. Oh well, looks like Hepta went Crazy Horse on 'em anyway. Hahaha
Whenever I have a good set of rolls--like the one Heptamegistos just came up with--I remind myself that sooner or later, the bad guys will get a string of luck just as good. :)
It's probably a good thing Valeria and Terri took the leader down so fast, too.
Ranged sneak attack, one of the reasons I like playing archers.
Though I like to play straight-up-crank-the-damage-to-11 melee builds as well.
So what all did these guys have, or is Oleg gonna lay claim to it all?
Dax Thura, it's fine. ^^ No worries!
Valeria needs a bow. As far as she's concerned, Oleg can use most of this stuff to replenish his stock. Unless we want to start the 6 people split loot sale now...?
