Hope the negotiations weren't a problem. Left room for the wife to say no.
Figured this way there was some meat to them without being three days of negotiations.
Cost is 33%, cost-and-a-half is 50%, so negotiating for 50% of what we're selling is worth to buy, which is standard.
Yeah, that's fine, Hob. You all can assume standard prices and such unless I specify otherwise.
There seems to be some confusion here. Only one slaver survived. The boy whose family was enslaved is the only one. He is about to be executed in the town square.
I thought we had another slaver as well - the one that we questioned who had gone down from the ray of frost.
We wouldn't have turned the boy over to the guards as one of the slavers. We put him back with his family.
The one you took out with the ray of frost was the boy. Sorry for the confusion. I was just assuming that you were being rough with him because you didn't necessarily believe his whole story.
My bad - I thought they were two different people - we need to do a little backtracking and editing here I think...
No, we told him to go be with his family and we were going to let him escort the ex-slaves back to PIren's Bluff alone initially, then we decided to go back to town too. I thought there was another prisoner...
How far back do we need to go? We'll need to wait for everyone's input, but I see 2 easy options. We can (1)go back and redo the conversation with the captain, or we can (2)just say that Kern escorted the boy/slaver away without any room for argument.
My opinion is that we just say we sent the boy with the other freed slaves and told the guards that we have no captive. So there'd be no need for the execution... but we'd still need to meet with the guard captain in the morning to possibly get aid from the baron.
Anyway - that's my 2 cents.
it would negate a few posts, including some of mine, but i'm okay with that.
Basically, here's the story: regardless of whether or not you turned the boy over as a captive or as an ex-slave, he's going to end up being sentenced to death. If you turn him over as a slaver, the captain will execute him for that. If you turn him over as a slave, the captain will notice the boy's tattoos, see that he was a slaver, and have him executed anyway.
The following knowledge is strictly out-of-character, since the party would have no way of knowing it.
I think the only post that doesn't fit is Masao's last post on page 3.
Now, Masao, I certainly don't want to put words in your mouth, but it seems that, hearing the execution, Masao would have quickly gone to rouse Arwen and then the party would have made its way to the town square to try to halt the execution anyway. If that's the case, Arwen's and Samant's posts on page 4 still make sense.
Absolutely, Masao would have done anything he could to stop the execution - so how about forget my last post on page 3 and I will make a new post now.
Perfect. As you were, everyone.
ok... new post made to correct the misunderstanding... sorry about that - I was SO confuzzled I guess.
woohoo! we have an awesome perception roll on our side!! YOU RAWK SAMANT!!!
And I managed to make it underneath him (Not knowing you were up top as we move simultaneously).
well, if the guy pulls the lever anyway - having the rope cut will prevent him from breaking his neck - and you can catch him to prevent him from breaking a leg or two.
Are we playing again at 7pm est tonight?
I'll be in class, which means that I'll be available for an hour or 2, and then a few hours later tonight as well.
So, Jacob - do we get away clean to meet up and discuss what we are going to do next? Or are we being chased? what's our situation now?
Mhm, I am just waiting here in Europe for you guys :D Kind of sad that here night while there it is the evening just but mhm
lol, it's just afternoon here... sun in still out...
maybe we should just go with 'we got away' and run with it...
it would give us a chance to rp while we're waiting for Jacob ;)
Sorry, I'm here. You aren't being chased. The captain was actually sort of inviting you to plead your case before the Baron, but he was angry about it.
well we DID run anyway - I posted in the channel, hopefully others will do so soon. The captain, if he was inviting us to plead our case, sure had a funny way of showing it, by pulling the lever anyway lol.
ok... I've got to go to a meeting and wont be taking my computer with me this week since Jacob said he had to go to class soon anyway. I will be back in a couple of hours.
Please rp on without me and I will chime in as soon as I get home.
Sorry guys - this is the middle of the day for me.
I'm back...
Hob and Masao, if you do choose to pause and recover spells, add in half of your first level spells however you see fit.
yay... 1st lvl spells! now we just need time to actually study our spellbooks, such as they are.
Are you sure? Hob hasn't learnt any yet, so I have been loading in cantrips as first level spells.
Cheers
Yeah, since mundane gear is less useful for casters, I'm adding in 1st level spells to simulate quick growth. However you acquire spells, do that next time you have the chance. For example, Arwen took a visit to his chapel and came out with some new spells, since he's a cleric. Perhaps the smith could show you some runes that he doesn't understand and let you keep them, since you know how to use them. However you like, just know that half of your 1st level spells are now on the table.
apparently we have them in our spellbooks, maybe we just didn't understand them fully yet? I don't know the explanation, i'm just glad we can learn them. or i should say 'it' since half of 2 is only 1 :(
Now when you say we have half, do you mean we KNOW half of what we are supposed to know at 1st lvl (which is 5 spells for Masao, halved would be two) or we can MEMORIZE half of our 1st lvl spells (which would be 2 divided in half for 1). Just want to clarify so I know.
Whatever works for your fluff, but you can only use half the number of slots you normally would, in your case 1. If you want to say that you had 5 in your book all along and only now understand some of them, that's fine, too.
ok... so we can memorize half... that clears it up for me... I'm gonna say all four (actually - mis-added) are in his book, maybe they just weren't clear to him til now? After all, 1st lvl spells are more complex than cantrips. So now he can memorize one of them given time. I just hope we GET some time lol
That means three transcribed spells, and I'm guessing 1 spell +1 domain.
There are some spells that seem to easily match his augmentation focus
Transcribed spells:
Magic Weapon
Mage Armor
Gravity Bow
Hellooooo... oooo... oooo... oooo... oooo
Just checking the echo in here lol, it's been a while since anyone posted anything.
Sorry, work all day.
mhm sorry! just waiting for others to post and trying to keep up 2-3 post per day. The game is going quite nicely so far and even the progression is quite good. 20 post per day is quite achievement I would say
Yeah, Arwen, we're killing it.
Masao, Kern is the guard you met last night, the captain is yet to be named. I'll start being more proactive about naming these folks to eliminate the confusion. From now on, the captain's name is Shiff. He is te one who tried to execute the boy, whose name is Phill. The guard you met at the gate, and who just spoke to you is named Kern, and the Baron is called Galdur.
sorry my bad, i thought kern was the captain... i'll amend my post a bit.
woohoo! a good roll when we really needed one... not bad for untrained!
note: leaving it up to those who overheard the captain talking to the boy to bring up the captain's possible involvement with slavers. Masao barely knows about it, and only from an offhand comment made later. He doesn't have any details to back it up.
Ninja'd. Deleted.
Hey - no-one actually told anyone Phill was a slaver, right? He just knew as soon as he saw him.
something like that - someone saw his tattoos and made the assumption - we had actually brought him in with his parents and a guard saw the tattoos - how did they know the slavers all had tattoos i wonder... a lot of confusion here, but Masao didn't think of that himself lol
Great post, Hob... all those things Masao didn't think of or didn't know all in one! :)
hmm.. those rolls should definetely give us some hints / points when confronting Baron :P
omg... those were awesome rolls... and your skills are impressive.
I'm out for about 10 hours - I'm off to play pf in a tabletop game and will have limited if any computer access while I'm gone... I may check in during the dinner break to see if there's been any action. Until then - good gaming all...
