Throne of Night: Dark Frontiers (Inactive)

Game Master Olmek

Or butt them under a mountain of paperwork. :P

Either way, Battle Time!

Woohoo! Yea, I think we have a pretty good outline of what we want and need to do here. Time to smash some drow face :)

Gm, if there are any other details you need us to clarify, please let us know! I'm really interested to see how this mass battle is pulled off. (please don't take that as an indication you could do it wrong, just massive curiosity)

Are there Hero Points in this game? Saw some on Bali's profile.

Hey, guys. Sorry about the slow down. As soon as we get a bit of momentum, I get slammed at work for a week. I'm coming clear of it now though. Look for a post tomorrow morning. :)

Lothar: We aren't using Hero Points.

Woohoo! So pumped for this... Can't wait to post as soon as I have a few minutes

Would anyone feel bad about taking the first shot? We know exactly why they are here...

Hehe. Attacking an emissary under a white flag? That might rumple our pally's feathers, and insult Reginald's love of proper protocol, but personally, no. :)

But but but... my villainous banter. :(

Thought about it, but then I noted the full plate and thought "nah".

Sorted - druids don't do protocol, and nature recognises no white flags... Plus, you know, ranged touch attack ;)

The only issue there is distance- dart is 30 feet.

So... that just happened? o_O

I'm just lurking here and I hope you don't mind a comment from the peanut gallery. But...

Grimdahl? That. Was. Awesome!

Aw, thanks! Nice to know there's an appreciative audience... :)

It's hard to know what to do at this point with out the map of battles! I (and Bali) want to smash!

My action is directly dependent upon the drow, so I suspect we are about half a second away from him doing something stupid at Grimdhal, like casting back, and having a few dozen arrows perforate his dirty hide.

You won't get an arrow through that plate mail - shoot the lackeys instead.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to post today at work. Last day before a vacation and I was just swamped. I did finish and populate the map though. I have to travel tonight and then tomorrow is Christmas eve, etc. I might be able to get something up on Christmas, but we'll see.

At the very worst, we'll be moving forward on the 26th. Sorry!

No worries. Merry Christmas!

Indeed. 'Tis the season.

I third that, merry Christmas!

Choon, are you trying to access the map through the Combat Info Dump spoiler? Or the link under my name?

The one under my name expires after a certain amount of time so it's less reliable. I'll just remove it, in fact.

Noted.

Hey, guys. Super sorry about the delay. Between a busy life and spotty internet, I haven't been able to update this game. I should have the next encounter up by tomorrow.

Happy Bali-ntines day! been thinking about that one all day... Nerd alert... :)

lol thanks!

Next encounter, and the end of the battle for Fasturvalt, will be up tomorrow.

I'm going to be completely transparent for a minute here, because when I signed up for this game, I made a commitment to sick it out. So, way I see it, you guys deserve to know what's going on.

My life isn't going so well at the moment. My depression has been worsening due to a series of circumstances, most of which revolve around my family. My stepfather and stepsister are nearly impossible to peacefully coexist with, and it's only gotten worse over the last few months.

Last week, my mother and stepfather got into an argument so bad and so hostile, I didn't feel safe. I walked out, saying I was going to see a friend for a few hours, and m mother followed me out. "Come back, and pack what you need for a week. We'll go stay somewhere else for a while."

So, well, we did. We were in motels for a while, and now I'm staying with my fiancé. I don't know yet whether I'll be going home soon, or just packing up my things and moving in here. It puts me in a pretty tight spot, and I don't know if it will get better.

Am I safe/alright? Safe, yes. Alright, not really.

Am I still going to play? Yes, if you'll still have me. I signed up with the intention of sticking this out, and I don't intend to let a rough patch stop me completely. I might just be sporadic for a while. I hope you understand, and I'll try to get an in-character post later today.

Sorry to hear all is not as grand as it should/could be. I know it must have taken a lot to get that off your chest. I don't know what advice to give you, other than to confide in your mother and fiance.

I hope you continue to play, and that it makes a good distraction.

Sorry to hear about that. I hope you and your mum are able to find some relief soon. Know that we're here for any distraction you may need.

Indeed. Any escape you need that can be provided from 12,000 miles away, just say the word.

Of course you still have a spot, Ronnie. Just make sure all is well on the home front and get back to us when you can.

Sorry to hear about that. Depression is such a strange thing, and can be so easy to misunderstand. It's not always about the circumstances either, though the circumstances of life can often make it much worse.

Some people might dismiss it, or just think its weird (especially from a dude who plays pathfinder on message boards) but I'll pray for you. I hope you find the peace you need. And of course I'm happy to be a part of whatever distraction you might need in the meantime. Don't worry about us, real life >>>>> games, and we are just happy to have you around while you can be here.

What I see all these attacks adding up to is: Standing on a building = bad idea

Cool imagery, though! Would be interesting to explore this AP as the drow at some stage.

Rolls made in Roll20, gotta update my games and didn't want to hold game up writing my IC post.

Note to self: you guys are pretty effective in combat.

You two-rounded my level 3 anti-paladin.

Are you sure about who was targeting who?

How I read it, the Northern 2 most Drow should be dead.

Did he succeed vs grease? I don't see it.

I posted my action on Roll20, hoping you caught it Olmek :)

He succeeded vs. grease, but between Lothar's, Ivy's, and Nurin's attacks, they brought him down.

Nurin got lucky. High roll with max damage.

Sorry about the lack of posting, guys. I had a beer festival for the past two days (and a week of prep before that) that ate up a lot of my time. It's all out of the way now. :)

Wasn't sure how we were doing hit points, so I rolled here. Let me know if it is different and I will change it in hero lab.

Hit Points: 1d10 ⇒ 9

Edit: Woohoo! More useful as a backup healer! can Lay on Hands 3 times now for 1d6 each.

And I have DR1/adamantine. Which is awesome.

Yeah Stonelord is pretty awesome as an archetype.

Great, levelling up!
