Rorek and Dash, reporting for duty.
Hello.
Reporting for duty!
howdy
Alright. I thought I'd take a moment to let you all know about my style of play here on the pbp boards.
1) I post on average 1x every 2-3 days. With the exception of when combat, which is 1x post a day.
2) in regards to combat, I post once a day. A round is 24 hours in real life. It goes from 12pm CST to 12pm CST the next day. Player order is determined by who posts when. One day rorek could post first, and the next day hodreck could be first. Initiative only occurs when someone wants to act first for something, or something else I feel that it needs.
3) I run this game a little rules loose. If you have an idea to try something, but don't have enough feats or skills to accomplish it, let me know, and I will see if we can come up with something
4) I do not hold back. At all. If you die, you die. If that fireball does 30 points of damage and you only have 12 hps, well you are dead.
4a) I roll my dice in the open. You see what I see, and you see what happens.
5) above all, have fun.
6)when in doubt, see roll 5.
Looking forward to this
ok, so we have J'victus, Henrick, Allyo, Rorek and Mihail.
Some background for everyone:
In the land of Taldor, set against the Worlds Edge mountains is a blight upon the Land. It is commonly reffered to as the Desolation, or the First desolation, or the smaller worldwound. It is an area that encompasses over 500 square miles of land that was once rich and vibrant, but now is a vast desert of human and planar remains.
Legend says that the Desolation is due to a War, and that it was a fight against good and evil. Every so often, talk in taverns around the world speak about this place, that the way to fix the Worldwound can be found not in the worldwound itself, but in the Desolation.
The land itself is a dangerous place. So dangerous that those that attempt to make the trek across rarely make it out. Those that do make it out are driven insane, or nearly so. They speak of bone tornados, flying demons, acid rain, mudmen, and so on. But they all agree that it gets worse closer to the ruins found nestled up against the mountains.
The city is called Tsar, everyone agrees upon that. But what it was, what it was for, only one thing is certain. It was a city that surrounded the Temple of Orcus, Demon prince of the undead.
30 years ago, the ruling prince of taldor sought adventurers to identify how and why the desolation still exists since it has been abandoned for so long. the promise of land, a prebuilt city, a major roadway that connects another city to a major tradeway across the plains, all these things and more brought people here. Divinations and beseeching the gods have only given more questions than answers, and those that strove for a more physical answer found only death, ruination, and the occasional ancient magical item or artifact.
In the end, after 30 years, the adventurers have either died or left, no where near reclaiming the land, or finding the why.
ok, so what will happen next will be a short prologue introducing your characters to the Desolation, and will detail a short meeting with a representative of the Grand Prince.
Then we will pick up to you arriving at the Desolation.
Roger that.
gameplay thread is now open
One question. How do you rule illusions?
Sorry for being a bit tardy today
Sat down to do my bank balances on the computer for five minutes
Five hours, more like
Anyway, here I am
guys, the easiest way out of the contract is to formally give all your items to another person before signing, and then have them give them back, including theirs, before they sign. You didn't have anything at the signing, and none of those items were collected in the desolate land.
Well i am glad someone picked up on the lloophole.
As someone who played paladins often, you tend to start picking up on any loophole you can :P, its also why I always try to have at least a 12 Int on the paladin.
Is the recipient going to reply?
I am under the impression that all is done and signed...
some of us use the loophole in the contract and others did not.
Galdren signed before the loophole was pointed out.
Wisdom and foresight are not his greatest strengths.
Just a question to check whether we have to rp our character's genuine intention of swapping with each other e.g giving up all rights and ownership of our possessions vice versa to abuse that loophole. Otherwise, that's everyone, I guess.
Considering that it ultimately doesn't matter much, I'd just as soon we got past it.
If my character dies, I don't much care about his goods, and if he gives up, I won't be playing him anymore.
Just as soon we moved on.
I believe we can move on already...
I'm ready to proceed!
Ready to move from that scene.
Yup. Will post tomorrow.
Looking forward to moving forward. lol
Hey guys! I'm working on my move and relocation and should be back by Wednesday. Cheers!
Are we waiting for someone other than allyo?
I'm back already btw :)
So is this still going?
Hope so.
I was wondering that myself?
It's Christmastime, I tend to make allowances for that. Wait till after New Years to panic.
same. Some people have more free time than others during the holidays. Some have negative free time during the holidays.
Holidays period and guess what? I'm going to be absent again this weekend, for some days. I'll be back Tuesday. I hope you all have a fantastic New Year's eve.
For the games I'm playing in: please feel free to bot me as needed, GM. I apologize for the inconvenience!
For the games I'm hosting: don't worry, I'll be back! Feel free to use the period to get your posts current.
I may be able to log in spottily during the weekend.
Cheers!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, All.
Haven't seen posts from our GM and in his other games? Could be RL. I am going to give this another week.
So no GM....
ok will hold out for a little longer.
Maybe he is waiting on a riding order, I know we have stated it but maybe he wants something more concrete.
so let us try this, we have 7 party members.
1 being the front of the line
7 being the end of the line
Where is your character in that line as I am thinking we are riding single file.
1
7 since usually the squishy casters prefer not to be at the end.
4
3
1 Rorek Espair: Paladin
2 Idril Silverleaf: Rogue/Slayer
3 Mihail: Bard
4 Ally Shan: Sorcerer
5 Galdren: Magus
6 J'Victus: Rogue
7 Henrick the Collector: Fighter
Galdren since you were last to respond...I gave you slot 5. You can have slot 6 if you like, no big deal.
Does this look correct to everyone?
looks fine
