Where It All Began: Dragoncat's Rise of the Runelords (Inactive)

Game Master Dragoncat

You didn't say that you were--all I had to go on was Ekan stealthily making his way across after Eostre. Anyone else could have opted to cross before you.

If that's the case, you missed my post:

"You'd know better than me. Were I a more pious woman I might think Desna truly DID have a soft spot for him!"

Eostre ventures across the bridge next, the crude boards creaking under her bulk.

Not even bothering with a Stealth check here, Eostre's no good at that stuff.

Oh. Remedying that.

Hmm, I had seen that post, but somehow didn't get that she was coming all the way across - even though it said she ventured across.

Welcome to the good side of the bridge, Eostre!

DMCat - can you describe the knotted ropes a bit more? It's not clear to me whether the north side of the bridge is one of the long sides or if it's at the end where Eostre, Ekan and Nicat are. Do they look like they're meant to serve as a handrail for someone crossing the bridge, or a rope to climb up from below? Any further info would be helpful.

The knotted ropes are on the side of the bridge you, Eostre & Ekan are on. They look like support ropes for the bottom of the bridge.

I also marked where they are on the map.

Does it look like we could take up the slack and they'd support the bridge? That way Conner's swimming lesson can happen some other time.

Yep, they can.

All - I will be travelling from Dec 17 to Jan 8, with unpredictable internet access. I will check in and post when I can, but please bot me if there's a need.

I'm afraid I won't be able to post tonight or tomorrow. Travel across state to family is underway. Obviously Christmas Eve and Christmas are kind of iffy too for obvious reasons. Many apologies

Holidays, etc.

No worries.

Here's hoping everyone's having a safe & happy holiday season. :)

I'm on an unreal trip with the family - Christmas Eve in Fez on a full moon, and it's also the Prophet Muhammad's birthday! Have a merry one, all, whatever it is you celebrate!

Merry Christmas! :)

Just waiting to see if anyone wants to do anything to the goblins.

I got nothing.

Short of somehow trying to collapse the ceiling? I dunno.

If the ceiling wasn't so high I'd say stab them through the cracks between the boards.

Climb up the bloody ladder and help me kill them!

I'm too noisy, get the monk to do it.

If they wake up, I'll start slicing. Come on up, everybody!

Happy New Year!

Ditto!

I might be a little a lot drunk, don't be surprisedif I can'tposttmorrow.

Happy New Year!!

Sorry, bad times at the homestead so I'm only now able to really post back.

*e-hug*

e-Thanks ;)

Here's hoping everything gets better soon, Ekan.

Sorry about taking so long to update--real life's getting in the way again. I'll get a post up as soon as I can.

Is Eostre's dialogue too...forgiving to the goblins? I'm trying to convey that she feels like she's utterly cowed them and is sort of gloating.

I got the gloating. There was a certain air of devilish trickery as well, with the pickle bait-and-switch, that I appreciated.

It didn't seem too nice to me, but then again, Ekan approves of nice ;)

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Okay, plan suggestion. The gobs are in a semicircle, Conner can rush into the middle and draw their attacks, the people that act before him can start off hitting the two that would be in position to flank him while he keeps the others busy. This should let us overwhelm part of their force quickly with little risk.

I think Ripnugget was annoyed we interrupted his big villain speech! :P

Okay, that could have gone better. If we kill enough goblins before reinforcements arrive, Conner can just wall off the other entrance with his shield.

*poke poke poke*

Eostre? Evelyn? You guys there?

Sorry. Been busy at work for Valentine's Day weekend....Bot me, I guess?

Eostre - Do you work in a luv factory? Or do you make custom candy hearts?

I'm going to be at a con with my son for Valentine's Day, and my sweetie is taking our other son skiing, so no romantic evening for us. But I did get her a nice gift and am smuggling it to her via my son, so she'll get a surprise valentine while we're apart. (This is much more clever and thoughtful than I usually manage to be, just to be clear.)

I work in a luxury hotel...We've got like a hundred different people who booked our romance package which includes champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries, a late check-out and free breakfast.

And no need to bot me now. I'm back and posting...for now.

I think I got him.

DARNIT! Why must my combat rolls always stink?!

Don't worry, Nicat will get him.

Or not. For future reference, next time just stab him.

I thought about it, but I figured I could do a few points of damage to him, or have about a 50% of taking him out of the fight entirely. But I was definitely tempted to stab him.

Despite my frustration in this fight, I absolutely ADORE Ripnugget's snarky commentary. XD

:D

Just don't forget, the best debuff, is death.

Ekan, you rolled a crit threat. You want to confirm it or shall I assume your second roll was for that?

I should have left it to you. :)
