The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh (SW)

Game Master Branding Opportunity

I didn't realise that there were still unidentified magic items.

Could Belros have identified those in the meantime during his forest retreat?

Sure. Each requires a use of the "Detect/Conceal Arcana" power and a successful use of your Arcane skill that takes an hour to complete.

Also, could a link to that spreadsheet go at the very top of the page?

With:

"MAPS
Group Benny Pool: 1"

Done.

Belros spends most of his first full day at his retreat in meditation over the items.

No post from me tonight. I'm okay, just really tired.

Same, except really busy on my end. Tonight was my d20 Modern game in RL.

Has everyone updated the character sheets on their PC's profile pages? I want to make sure to catch any updated skills listed in the Campaign tab.

Yes

Yes

Thanks for checking in!

Up to date. :)

Up to date. No skills changed, except +1 to Fighting.

Up to date here.

@GM: Are there any results from Belros' Detect Arcana checks above?

Yes, I'll post those soon, sorry.

No worries!

I should be up to date unless we got another advance of which I was unaware. :)

Imma be busy tomorrow, but if no one else has spoken up by Sunday Imma just dropping the hammer so we can be back to the business of adventuring.

Belros hasn't been called down so he's assuming ye are taking care of the issue. Once he's fairly certain the upside group isn't about to be ambushed, he'll get back to work unless he hears ongoing combat.

If you're near the top of the stairs you definitely hear the conversation.

Ah. That makes a considerable difference.

Lord Belros, I admit I'm unclear as to what you hope to Notice with your notice roll, but I'm also not very bright so I'm willing to wait for the GM to address it before..the festivities begin. XD

Isagoras, would you mind giving us a reaction to Allysen and Katherine's obvious dislike of your intended action and MWG, would you mind giving a reaction as well? I don't want to advance the action without getting your inputs.

That work?

That work?

Works for me, but I'm just the GM and don't have a dog in this particular fight.

@Isagoras: I think should have clearer. Belros was trying to gauge whether Ned is being foolish - or cunning.

We've been almost a week on this. I think it's time to move on.

I'd agree, even if Belros had not already agreed IC.

I was going on the assumption that Belros did not realise it was Ned until he entered the room. He did tell Ned what he did.

D'oh!

I hate it when you're all like "Awesome kill scene!" and the dice are like nope.

And this is when we find out that Ned's an assassin bent on killing us all. It'll be fine. :P

By the way, I am loving this. It's just juicy banter and roleplay fodder and I'm eating it up! I think MWG is just busy, but yeah, we should probably wrap this up. I can't wait to see how this develops.

There is a very clear divide in the party about how to handle quite a few situations - and its not always the same people either.

Fun times!

Indeed. :D

There's a lot of interesting dynamics in this party. On the one hand you have emotional characters like Allysen, Isagoras, and to a certain extent Katherine, then on the other you have characters like Lord Belros and Wolfram that are more even keeled, and on the gripping hand, you have MWG who's stoic as stone. You have characters that are very strict in their morals, Lord Belros, Wolfram, and Isagoras being the chief ones here, and then you have characters who are more willing to bend, like Allysen, Katherine, and MWG.

There's more, but me brain's too tired to think of 'em.

No post until tomorrow. Sorry.

Sorry that I haven't been posting much this past week. We adopted two 3-week-old kittens last week and most of my free time has been devoted to them.

HERE'S a short video of them!

Hey GM, that video requires permissions.

Also, the group at the mansion has been standing over a dead body for two weeks in real time.

Congrats on the new babies! We have our hands full with our one-year old cat. He is into everything!

Hey GM, that video requires permissions.

Permissions changed, I hope.

I posted something for you in the IC thread on May 25th, Wolfram. Don't know if you saw it. I'll post it here again:

A week with no activity - where is this game at?

Eh, not sure, offloading our loot?

Sorry, busy time here.

Just a heads up. Over the past few days I have found out that my grandparents on my dad's side both have COVID-19, my grandmother on that side is also in the hospital with a strep infection on top of this, and my grandfather on that side has been undergoing chemo treatments for cancer. Both are 76-77 years old, so already in the high-risk category before the rest of it. Just keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Ugh! Sending positive vibes and offering healing energies.

Sorry to hear the bad news, AdamWarnock. Please keep us updated on how everyone is doing, please.

Will do, and thanks guys.

All the best.

Sorry to hear about your situation, hoping everything works out well.

Good news, my grandfather isn't showing symptoms and my grandmother will likely recover in time.

Yea!

Huzzah!

That's great news, Allysen.

Excellent!!!!

Thanks. Called my grandfather today. He seems to be doing well all things considered.

It might be useful to discuss what you are planning on doing next here in an OOC format. There's lots of great RP going on, but that can sometimes make decision-making a bit more difficult.

People can we just...go there.

Either we'll be attacked, and that will solve the question and we'll fight, or we won't be, and that will also solve the question and we'll talk.

This game has been in Neutral for too long and I think some progress would be good.
