I may still need to assign u your token. What is your name on Roll20 so I can next time I'm on?
DarkNetwerk on there, unless there is a way to have a different name for each campaign.
Okay...you should have gotten you set up to control your own token. Every one please move yourselves as appropriate on the map with your actions.
For reference, since I forgot to mention it explicitly, Vi had attacked the purple-dot rider.
And took the free action to continue the performance, for that matter.
Lurking while I update games.
Will be away for about 12 hours, maybe longer. Taking plane to El Salvadore and then have a 5 hour bs ride to Guatemala. No srvice the entire time. Should have wifi once I get to the hotel.

Good luck on your trip.
Ok. Back up and running on ipad. No access to roll20 though w/ipad1. So someone will have to BOT me until I return to the states this weekend.
I meant BOT me on roll20. not on the forums!
Ha ha Robo Grautak.. (I'm mean and Angry... Graaaaar!... here Wolfy.... Good Dagru..)
Have a safe trip
hey now I am still here.... haha
Hey guys, I will have another post up tomorrow. The character interactions have been interesting so far. Cheers! I think we are hitting gritty pretty well. ;)
I love the character interactions and the many differences of our group.
Lurking while I make updates.
I just realized the rolls were split between non-humans and at humans (or those with some human blood). Hahaha. Should be interesting...
My apologies for relative quietness on my end. Had company all weekend (still here, but thank the stars for the privacy of a bathroom and an iPad!).
I will try to update this (and my other games) tomorrow, but if not then, Monday for sure.
Finally back in the states. And much to my surprise, the wifey got me a new ipad mini for V-Day!!!! Yay! Posting will be more regular now that I am stateside.
I will be lurking in and out on Roll20 for most of the day.
I'm often offline many weekends, so no worries about a slow weekend from the DM on my part. :)

Yandasana, Grautak: Let me know what of this you two claim, and then I need to know what you all agree to do with the rest of the loot. Oleg has done stated he would appreciate the remaining items to help him get back on his feet so to speak, and in return for that (and for eliminating the problem) he is offering free room and board at the Fort, for essentially all time.
I want to give the horses to Oleg after I have combat trained them for him. Yandasana and I can split the remaining gold (28gp for me 29gp for her), I will take 1 score arrows and 1 short sword.
My plan is to offer to train the horses and give the horse gear to Oleg in exchange for a discount on purchase of future goods. I will also train any additional horses he would like as part of this bargain.

This is totally not cool role playing wise
Where are the hobgoblins actions in the forum?
They what? teleported to where they were? Because there is no mention of where they came from, how they moved, what gear they have or there accounting for the other players at all.
My concern is that no other player got chance to role play but two seem to have been empowered in their quest to be adolescent bullies.
I don't mind them sticking together but the not posting in forum is not cool.
I asked what they were doing in thread, and received a PM'ed response. I made rolls for everyone and added flavor text as I felt appropriate. It would have been no different had they placed their actions in spoilers, which would and should not impact other player actions anyway. I consider it the equivalent of a, as our home game table refers to them, "sneaky note" to the GM.
You were asleep, and for all intents and purposes, wouldn't have anymore idea of how they got there than if you yourself had been awaken in the night and saw someone at the foot of your bed. Personally, I'd assume they walked in. Working in my field (a nurse on night shift) I can vouch just how easy it is to move around in a room, and I'm a large, clumsy individual. I've emptied trash cans, moved furniture, given shots to patients, and more without them waking, and them on no type of sedation. Granted, this isn't always the case, but it is definitely the bulk of the time.
There was plenty of time for additional RP while I was busy, but nobody had anything to add, and I wasn't going to linger. When presented with further RP, I moved on what I had.
I am not for or against inter-PC conflict, and I purposefully designed this adventure to have some (hence the two essentially competing groups). But I am not playing favorites. I respond (as best I can) to anyone taking part in the campaign. If I miss something, feel free to pm me or post in the discussion thread to remind me and/or point me to what you are referring.
I revealed to the PC's that succeeded on their perception checks (you) what you saw upon awakening. Is it such a strange leap that you would awaken disoriented and confused? Perhaps take a moment to assess the situation. With, just maybe, instead of an accusatory post, one like the following:
Gird takes a moment to scan the two hobgoblins upon awakening, trying to gauge their intent by their dress and the items they carried on their persons.
Had you posted that, I'd have answered your question in game.
At any rate...I'm not going to rant about this anymore. RP out the scene as you see fit.

Re-reading your post.. Im fine being disoriented on waking.. why wouldn't I be? I got the hell outta dodge to get myself out of the bad situation. Plus inquisitors suspect everyone it's even in the class description. I knew they were up to no good.
My post was not about that they were able to do against me. My actions were pretty plain and interpreted correctly.
Walking around and such shouldn't be spoilered if you want to do that clandestinely you roll stealth. You as a big guy learned to be subtle and step the right way to be quiet and not knock things over or look suspicious.
Player actions should always be posted and allow the players chance to roleplay. I'm not going to just jump up and be awake (without being wakened) and ready because it's against me. But I do want to see how they did what they did
Wanted to apologize for disappearing for the last few days: I got hit really hard by Cupid's arrows this weekend......one caused a leak in my waterheater which needed to be replaced, the other caused my wife to trip on the ice and break her wrist in two places. Stupid hallmark holiday.......
And looks like I missed all sorts of fun!
Why would you get to see how and why what another character did? I don't want to know exactly what another character is doing if my character is unaware of their actions. No matter how hard we try, we are always influenced by out of game knowledge.
I don't want this to degenerate into a role playing discussion and how DM Thron should adjudicate what is and what isn't posted on the forum.
We snuck into the room plain and simple. You wouldn't know how or why we snuck into the room. We obviously failed our stealth roll and you woke up and posted your response. End of story. I don't see where the problem lies.
I wouldn't b~~&! about you sending DM something your character was doing on the sly if my character wasn't around. The only reason I spoiler my conversation with Dagru is because I can't PM two people at once and DM Thron needs to know what Dagru and I discuss. Otherwise I would have sent that in a PM to both of them.
I also spoiler things if a PC has the opportunity to overhear, understand or have a chance to know what that spoiler is. I don't read spoilers if I am not supposed to regardless of my desire to know what they say.
The only omniscient being in this game is DM Thron and if you have an issue with that then I suggest you take that up with him.

Well SAID Grautak! If DM Thron would have asked I would have reposted in play area. This is all part of the game... why are you so upset with gameplay Gird?

You've assumed no one was doing anything for the convenience of your actions. What if "one of the other players" wanted to do something. . Even join your plan. Your not allowing them the option. What if one of them wanted to feign sleep and do their own thing? They might have run into you. Conversations and such .. no problems. . But actions, well all sorts of things can happen if you have to state what you do.
But meh you all seem to be thinking I'm posting out of emo about them sneaking up on me in my sleep (I'm not) and stealing my bandit (I'm not)

It's not too late to join the fun!!! Come on in, the water's fine!
The thing is, you are disregarding the posts they made (spoilered I might add) where they specifically agreed to do something, and did so in a way nobody else would have heard. They made it clear they were going out to patrol, and nobody offered to join.
Dagru:
"Fine, first daylight then."
Dagru irritated by the waiting decides to take a quick ride around the perimeter of this fort while he contemplates the upcoming days.
I hope they realize what they are doing by waiting. Gird is a fool and I will not let him kill us all. I wonder if there are more watching us now.
Grautak:
Perhaps Dagru and I should have a talk with our prisoner before we set off tomorrow. I think it very unwise to bring this trash with us or to keep him alive. His ruse may have fooled some of the others, but Dagru and I know better. I saw it in his eyes, just as he saw it in mine. Yes... I think we will have a talk with this man before sleep tonight.
Sharing his brother's concern, Grautak saddles Whisper and joins his brother on the ride around the trading post.
It was made public that they rode out together. Nobody made any mention, in thread or PM, that they desired to follow or join them. It was then that they held their private conversation, which was out of earshot.
I am not mistaken in what you are complaining about. But what I am confused on is why you are acting like there was collusion in this regard when what was public knowledge was available readily, and what was private knowledge was hidden, as it should be? At no point since then, did anyone post any other actions, either independent or in response to their departure and return. So, is it wrong of me to assume everyone was going to sleep, especially when the only other response I had between that and now was from you...
Gird:
He is tied (hands) and sleeping beside me
Seems to me, everything actually went the way you are requesting it should have...
Although this has made for an interesting RP opportunity, maybe, in the future, we should forgo the idea that a failed Sense Motive check (regardless on how bad the rolls were) mean the exact opposite of the truth and instead just means that they were unable to discern someone's motivations. It could save us more grief down the line.

Re: Gear
Giving them the remaining items and horses are, honestly, not cost effective. The swag they would get would pay for our room and board for quite some time as it is, and we won't really be using the place much except as a stop over.
Dagru's idea of basically giving him the unwanted swag along with any further unwanted swag we acquire in our travels (so a stream of free goods over the life of our mission) for the consideration of discounted pricing for the items we may wish to buy from him.
This works well for Vianella (which was why she defended that idea fairly vigorously) since everyone seemingly profits.
Perhaps that was a mistake on my part, but I was purposefully trying to see how you guys reacted to each other in a disagreement. I will refrain from forcing one in the future.
Gear:
To save time on an in character haggling session, eventually Oleg agrees to a 10% discount on future goods, though some items he says up front that he would have to order from Restov or beyond, as his own skills are limited in the crafting field.
FYI: I have subscribed to Roll20, and now have access to lighting features. If you sign onto Roll20 to a black screen, do not panic. Just zoom out until you can spot your token and then you SHOULD be able to see EXACTLY what your character can see at the moment. I think I have everyone set up appropriately, including low light and darkvision features.
If for some reason the entire screen is black to you even when zoomed out, let me know and I will tinker with it ASAP and fix it. But for now, just let me know if the feature is working.
That's great! Apparently, when a GM subscribes to Roll20, it activates mobile compatability. I can zoom in/out with the zoom bar and slide around the page with two fingers, tap on my icon and even move it! Exciting! :)
One of the perks! Glad I could help. Hehe
My talislanta GM also has the dynamic lighting feature, it's very cool to play with!
And I'm ok with buying a favor by handing the remaining mundane gear to Oleg - we're investing in this as our future "base of operations" in my mind. But I see the point of it possibly costing the party some wealth down the line as well. Let's be honest; a full sized horse is a temporary solution for a halfling!!!!!
I have no intention of giving him everything we find, just this crap we got from the bandits. I am willing to sell or trade him things we find. As for sense motive- this particular circumstance led to this. I don't think Grautak would normally have cared but the situation led to the conflict. It happens, I don't think thron forced anything.
Lurking
tried both my iPhone and my laptop, screen's all black for me. Im guessing its the dynamic lighting?
Just use two fingers (or presumably scroll bars on the laptop) to scroll to a different area of the map. It's SE of where things open up (at least it was for me when I last opened it up), so slide your fingers up and to the left. Or you can use the bar on the right to zoom out to see things from a little (or a lot) further out.
no such luck Im afraid - zoomed all the way in and out, moved around, all black. I also cant move my token so I might be missing something....
Using Chrome on your phone (assuming it works better there than a regular mobile browser)?
I see you standing right beside me although partially dark for some reason (don't know if that means your an obstruction or not, which would be weird, you being so little, lol). The area isn't completely dark (in that there is a bonfire light source 60' away), so it shouldn't be because you don't have dark/low-light vision. Unless you need to be within the light area to see, but even then I figure you'd be in shadowy.
Dunno.
Check now, I had you partially in an obstruction.
Tried IE and chrome on the laptop w no luck. I know in my other roll20 game that each character can have different vision/light settings so who knows? I'm sure it'll all be resolved soon enough.
I double checked on my end, and when I view the field from your token, I can see stuff...so I dunno...
