and Madness Followed (Inactive)

Game Master Dennis Harry

In 1930-31, Miskatonic University funded an Antarctic Expedition which ventured forth into the icy wastes of the southern continent in search of new discoveries. Instead the intrepid adventurers found horror, tragedy, and a great and ancient secret.
Those secrets still lie under the ice of that mysterious continent waiting to be uncovered...

So I will go see Dyer to hopefully find out what was in the book or if he has another copy of it during the two days.

I'll address that I/C.


Shadow's Status

I'll move this along by tomorrow night if I do not see any I/C responses by then.


Shadow's Status

Update tomorrow.


Shadow's Status

Been sick since Wednesday updates within a day or two.


Shadow's Status

Finally back to posting. I'll have another round of RP pass by then I will move the action forward! :-)

I will check in with our potential 5th player to see if he is having a hard time getting started, if so no big deal I think the group is fine as is.


Shadow's Status

So close now :-) Once that call ends we will move along!


Brilliant. Phoebe might go purchase a few things similar to what Alphonso did. But that is all I can think of.


Shadow's Status

Finally I have moved us forward but has the fire set you backwards? You didn't think you would get out of port that easy did you? :-)

It's really incredible that only one or maybe two Spot Hidden checks have been made in nearly 1,000 posts!

The elder gods are against us...


We are fosaken. Abandon all hope!

And how do I do a con check?

Phoebe's CON is 10. The system uses multiplication for some of these checks (they are fairly rare) where the base stats is multiplied by a factor, here 3.

So the target number is 30 which means you need a 30 or less to enter the shed.

Stanley needs a 33.

Certain equipment would increase the multiplier but unfortunately you do not have access to it, not your fault who knew a fire would break out!

well I make it by one of I understood your minus correctly and applied it justly... otherwise swing and a miss, let me know

Unfortunately, it was applied incorrectly :-(

The way a + or - works in the Chaosium system is that it adjusts the base stat not the roll itself.

Alphonso's SPOT HIDDEN is a 54 for purposes of this roll it becomes a 44. with a roll of 79 hell even 69 you do not spot whatever it is you had a chance to spot.

The terrible Spot Hidden streak continues!


Shadow's Status

As the 5th player I have recruited appears to be too busy in RL to step in I think we'll stand pat with the group we have.

I like this group a LOT. I think the characters are coming together pretty well as a group. If one of you wishes to play a second character I would be open to that but I think moving forward we'll just stick with this core four!

I hope you are all enjoying the game and I promise as we move forward, this game WILL start to feel much more like a Chtulhu game than it has thus far :-)


Other than the lack of familiarity with the system I am really enjoying the game. And the lack of familiarity is not really impeding anything. It would be nice if we could pass some of the spot hidden checks though!

I would be fine playing more than one charter if we feel we need it.

The Keeper once again summons wall of text!


Shadow's Status

Giving Phoebe and Alphonso a chance to check in before I move forward.

Another wall of text will be coming your way.


Again sorry! Things are kind of hectic. This game calls for a little more metal clarity so I will post after some sleep. All the words are blurring as I type.

Last one till the next one :-)


I am inclined to say research is the thing to do. We will not have access to things like libraries on that boat.

If we all split up and do one each rotating through all of them each of us we can do all four all of us in two days and see how we each and all do and then share information


Shadow's Status

Updates tomorrow on the thread rough stretch of days there..


Shadow's Status

The response to your checks will be massive walls of text, I'll try to get my response out tomorrow though I have to work late.

Just wanted to let you all know. :-)


Shadow's Status

Sorry guys the days are getting away from me, tomorrow this will be my 1A or 1B priority to update.


No worries I know that feeling!! :)

The next scene will be ON the ship and this time it WILL leave!

Male "Human" Engineer

Library Use (75): 1d100 ⇒ 25

nothing new here, move along <.<


Shadow's Status

Damn, so close too Alphonso!

Once the RP scene is done I'll move us along. I'll also move the spoilered info to the campaign info tab. I try to put most of it in there but some things slip by sometimes.


According to my character sheet I haven't used a skill successfully since the last time we were allowed to roll to improve... :O

I'll check through the gameplay thread to be sure...


Wait I've made 1 successful library use roll!

Library Use 65: 1d100 ⇒ 53

... oh well...


First aid 60: 1d100 ⇒ 8
first aid 60: 1d100 ⇒ 34
library use 70: 1d100 ⇒ 65
library use 70: 1d100 ⇒ 26
library use 70: 1d100 ⇒ 59

five chances and five fails. I shall have these numbers at the end of the game. Ah well.

Remember Phoebe you only get one bite at the apple not one for each success :-)


I failed them so it apparently does not matter that I unintentionally tried to cheat. There is also a good chance I will forget that again. I am a bad player like that :)

LOL, no worries. The first attempt will be the applicable one ;-)

Lot of information there, I'll give the group time to digest it all and Arnault time to make his check.

Then, we will proceed. I will try to drop the ship's plans in a link to make it easier to visualize.

Sorry for the delay, I knew I needed a lot of time to drop that all in!


My goodness! Are you able to copy and paste a lot of this? That's a massive amount of information to type up!!

Oh absolutely copy and paste and that still took 30+ minutes to edit and format. :-)


Shadow's Status

Sorry for the slow pace. Update tomorrow!


What about the sled teams, the camp crew, and the guides? Phoebe would want to peruse getting to know them so long as they are willing to let her.

Also so much text wall! :)

No issue. I just wanted to make sure it was not lost in the posts, that is all :)
