We can discuss the game here and not on the recruitment thread. :)
DMNPC checking in. ;)
Runa checking in. ;)
My Friday and Saturday have been extremely busy and I'm dead tired. I don't have the energy or frame of mind for creative writing at the moment, so I'm going to take it easy tonight (go to bed early) and make a response post in my morning. Thanks for your patience.
How long would that take via In-Game? If permissible, could he do it in the next several hours with Eira and simply get a map of the local area, or would it be better to do RP out each place he goes to examine instead?
There's no official map of Pridon's Hearth, encapsulating the entire colony, and, to make one would take up too much time (and to be honest, I don't have a desire to spend that much time on a map, especially with all my recent woes with the windows update to my computer). The new colonists should explore the colony and ask questions/directions and look around to discover places and people. And honestly, having a map feelings like a cheat if the PCs are supposed to get to know the colony for themselves.
I have no issue with the PCs formally exploring the colony, but can you hold off on it for now until after your meeting with the sheriff (and then I can include the new player as well}? This time in game, before the sheriff's meeting, is meant as time to social rp, get to know Stone Hall, rest, get to know the other colonists if that is desired etc ... After the meeting with Adaela Praet, then we can move the game forward.
I'll make a GM's post soon re Thorongil's question to the Halfling serving lass.
GM - what about this post earlier to Millie:
"Your pardon; but when you spoke of those of interest you seemed to stress that they are of the human race; tell me, if you would, are there others who are knowledge that are not human? If so, I should like to know their names as well," he asks, curious to know if there were others in town who were not of human stock who could be interesting to speak to.
Yes, I meant I’ll be answering that very question soon.
Okay, I made a couple of posts and am headed to bed. I'll respond to new posts in my morning. Tomorrow, I'll be moving the game to the next morning, just so you're aware.
Night!
Hello folks. I have joined in. :)
Welcome, Letswalo! :)
I'm taking your game post is meant for the following morning, yes?
And, Thorongil, I will address your latest post soon (I need to get some paid work done for an hour... and then during a "break", I'll respond in game). Thanks. :)
That waa my intent, yes. :)
Excellent! I'll have something up soon. :)
Just a FYI: We'll be employing group initiative in this game, just to make things easier. Thanks! :)
I'll also be adding information to the Campaign tab as we go along as an easy reference page.
Group initiative is fine by me.
I'm feeling like split personalities after that set of conversation. ;) LOL
Heading to bed. Letswalo, if you make a post in the meantime, I'll respond to it in my morning. :)
Night!
I'll post the next bit of the meeting tonight my time as I need to get my head cleared and be able to undertake the rp properly without external/extraneous roadblocks. Thanks for your understanding.
No problem. Take the time that you need.
Thorongil's player has a full. long work day today and may not be able to post. Just wanted to give you a heads up, Letswalo. Thanks. :)
Understood. :)
Thorongil and Letswalo, toss up where you'd like to go first and then we can proceed. Tomorrow is my Saturday and I have my niece's baby shower pretty much all day. I won't update this game until my Sunday morning (your Saturday). Thanks! :)
Letswalo, I'll respond to your recent checks very soon and then the group can leave for the bank. I need to do a little work as it's my Monday, but I'll be back soon to post.
Thanks for your patience, gentlemen. :)
Logging off the site for the night.
Will wait to see what Letswalo has to say or do and any response from Thorongil. I'll update in my morning. Thanks, guys. :)
I'll make responses in the next hour or two. Busy work day, unfortunately.
I'm off to bed so I'll post sometime tomorrow hopefully.
It’s goimg to a long weekend here in Oz. Which means family time.
Today is going to be extremely busy both at work and home. I may not be able to
update the game until my Saturday (your Friday). Then we’ll play it by ear since I’m not entirely sure where my family and I will be over the long weekend, so further GM posts may be scarce or none at all.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. :)
Understandable. I hope that you have a good time. :) It'll be a busy weekend for me so I may get to post little also.
@GM: Was initial 500g for a single weapon, or could it have been for a few weapons? Just realised that I might have misunderstood something, which would free up gold.
It was designated for a single masterwork weapon up to the value of 500gp as a boon on character creation. And this was separate to the 400 gp starting wealth.
:)
If people want to sell anything to Mirya Oylin to free up some coin, no problem. Just toss up a post with what you’d like to sell.

At this time Thorongil has expressed what he wishes to buy to Eira; but Thorongil is considering now visiting that other guy's shop - "The Conservatory".
We may end up with better prices there, and anyway, he's not too keen on doing business with someone who'd imply that either of the ladies in the company might make coin working at a brothel - that's very rude to our two ladies!
Also, do we want to have a fifth "Slot" for storing "Party Loot" such as the antitoxin? Specifically, it would be helpful to have to anyone who gets poisoned, even if taken after the fact.
What does everyone think of that idea?
I think once the party accrues more wealth, then having a fifth slot for party loot (to be used by anyone in the party) seems sensible/reasonable.
A correction in rp: I initially thought Eira was pretty skint re her coin, but it seems I mistook her for Oliya. Eira has 41 gold pieces from her starting wealth plus the 9 gp left over from Adaela's funds. I will play that out to correct it as you guys move about town. Sorry about that. I looked at the wrong sheet. ;)
A fifth slot makes a lot of sense.
Been a busy few days.

No worries - I understand. Hope things slow down for you soon.
I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing this, but the Paizo site is slow to load and update for me. I hope that changes soon.
I'll still make a post, but the lag is frustrating me.
Appreciated. :) I hadn't noticed, but I haven't been on as much today.
Heri Lightstep can create potions of any 1st level spell.
So, if you have one (or more) in mind, toss it up in rp and we can go from there.
Thanks. :)
I was thinking, if you guys would rather I hand wave the moving about town and making purchases and have you start heading out to the fort, I can do that with a single post. I don't want you to get bored as you're meeting/buying things around town. Getting to know the locals is important, however not entirely vital/critical at this point. There'll be other opportunities for social rp with the NPCs. I'll leave that up to you.
If you do decide you want to move to walking to the fort, then let me know what purchases you wish to make re potions and/or weapons (you have the Smithy right after Heri Lightstep) and I can let you know if it's available for purchase and how much it will cost.
Thanks. :)
I'm personally okay with spending some time in town, but if Thorongil wishes to push ahead to the journey, I would not object. :)
Thanks, Letswalo. :) I have no issue with carrying on around town before you set forth for the fort, however I will wait to hear from Thorongil's player as well.
I'll update the game later in my day.

Well, I'm not normally the sort who pushes the pace into hard action without taking time to just walk around town...
;)
However; in this case I was merely attempting to reconcile what my character would do with our quest.
We're currently charged with delivering a message to the fort so I guess we should do that quickly as - based on the time (and what I've read about typical overland travel) we could, theoretically, get to the fort by around 2 PM or so - take an hour to deliver our message/conduct business at the fort; leave at 3 PM and we should be back in town around 7 PM - provided, of course, there are no complications...
:D
However, if all goes as plan we can meet with the rest of the town this evening when we return; but if we linger too long then we won't be able to return to town until after dusk, and wandering through jungles at night could be dangerous.
That said; I can't think of anything specifically to buy at this time. He would not wish to linger in the town with an actual mission he's oathbound to complete; so now that we know what we're buying he'd likely move forward.
Assuming that no one else wishes to buy things, that is?
Busy day tomorrow, so I'll post/push onto the trek to the fort on my Monday morning (your Sunday).
I'm not pushed about buying anything else and cannot afford much anyway. So let's press on then. :)
Sorry, gentlemen. Busy/stressful day with a very sick dog. Any free time I've used to post in Dain's game. I'll update this game later tonight my time. Thanks for your patience.
Understood. I hope your dog is feeling better.
Thanks, Letswalo. I managed to get a little food into him today and have been monitoring his lethargy and vomiting. I take him back to the vet tomorrow for a followup check up.
Real life is kicking my butt at the moment, so I'm taking a short break from my online activity. I won't be able to update this game until my weekend. Sorry for the hold up and thanks again for your patience.
You take care of yourself and your loved ones, Ariarh. All the best, and return when you feel up to it.
My apologies for the delay.
I had a computer issue for a bit; I got it fixed and then was sick.
However, I'm back!
Also, I hope everything is alright, and we'll see you soon, GM!
Thank you both. At the moment, my RL has calmed down enough for me to start posting again. I will update this game in my morning as it's already late evening here and I need to get up early for the start of my new work week.
I hope you have had a nice weekend! See you in my morning. :)
I have work meetings all day pretty much. I'll make a post in my later afternoon. Thanks. :)
