I'll be posting tonight, and I'm not mad or offended. ( I grew up in a very outspoken house and I prefer honesty and communication. ) I have been busy with life I am taking a home inspector class that is currently taking a lot of my time. but I am trying to post when I can and keep people informed of what is going on.
Ill be posting tonight.
Wait, weren't we checking room 13 first? I thought we were.
the hold where the hole is has a higher DC check and no hammock checks, I didn't see it called out that you were going there, if that was your intent my bad, after re reading the posts I couldn't find it. please just go with it to prevent backtracking, and call it out in the future where I don't make the mistake, my bad. ( I was assuming you were going after the body in the back room first.)
brings me to my favorite quote my dad always told me.
ASSUME makes a ASS out of U and ME, lol
Yeah I didn't say one way or the other, my bad.
About my metagamy post.
I'm sorry, because that wasn't my intention.
I had actually intended to say that warning as I was tying up the rope, but then as I posted I was a bit rushed (talking with people while posting) and forgot about it.
I actually hadn't taken a good look at the rules you posted. Just wanted to say what I had forgotten.
But... That said. I'll try to avoid this happening.
everything is fine Nali don't sweat it man. I was just talking crap.
Yeah, well... I guess I'm the sort of person who likes to explain himself ;)
I'll be posting a list tomorrow I am looking to see if I missed or someone claimed something not written down. Sorry about the wait I want to get this taken care of before we continue.
I know I need to spend some time and update Roland's inventory. We have a group loot sheet, but no one has kept that up to date. I can't go through and update it right now, idk if anyone else has the bandwidth either.
Upcoming weekend is one of my rare 'nothing planned' weekends. That doesn't mean I necessarily have time, though. The gym hasn't seen enough of me lately, and my wife needs some TLC.
BUT... I'll try to find some time to perhaps make a mythweavers sheet or something. At least get some organisation going with Nali.
I am currently doing also a session recap over important facts found on the ship. because PbP are a lot slower I wanted to bullet point important facts or hints given to certain clues. I think by doing this over important areas this will help the party later to remember. That is part of the reason it is taking me awhile. sorry about the delay.
That sounds awesome :) thank you. One thing that's like a PbP is there's always a record to refer to if something comes to question, but digging through all of it can be a daunting task.
So guys, how do we want to break up the loot? I took the chain shirt, and I'm greatful for it. I'd also like to keep one of the cutlasses (we have three 2 normal, one masterwork) because I can two hand it. Once I can get a pile arm I'll switch to that. Other than those things, I'd like to hold onto a dagger or the boarding axe as a backup weapon if we have enough to go around, but that's not super important.
At the moment, Thraxis has one of the normal cutlass and the partial scroll materials.
Though the mug of vomit is tempting, I'll pass on it for now.
Nali managed to get a studded leather and a rapier out of this. I think she's fine, so far. At some point she'll try to get a buckler, maybe a wooden one.
For all her evil nature in regards to killing and torturing without any qualms, she isn't overly greedy.
She'd like a clw potion, though. And rope is always good.
So, I don't know about the rest of the stuff, but I think we pick out the weapons and armor for everyone.
Henris has the club, and his trident. He would probably like a dagger for backup but has two weapons so is probably further down the list.
Nali has her rapier and that's probably enough. Because of being an inspired blade she's pretty dependent on that particular weapon. Still maybe a backup weapon should be nice?
Thraxis has a cutlass, and might want a dagger for backup.
Almon will want a dagger probably, unless there is another simple weapon available that I missed.
I have a cutlass, but I will probably take the masterwork one unless Thraxis wants it. Nali is the only other person who could use it and she'll want to stick with the rapier.
That leaves us an extra cutlass, and the boarding axe and short one dagger. I can use the boarding axe and so if there are no objections that will be my backup. Maybe we can trade the one helpful man (i can't remember his name right now) the cutlass for his dagger? Also we can try to make some more clubs when we have time. They will give us a way to do blunt damage.
The armor is a tougher decision because we have 4 sets of armor for 5 people. None of us are really ranged, so there it's really someone who doesn't need it as much as the others. Crafting armor is harder. Maybe we can craft a set of leather from the sharkskin? It would be a tough check though.
Edit: I just realized we all have a dagger from the pathfinder's kit, so nevermind about the backup weapon stuff. We have extra daggers.
And Nali still had her daggers she uses for throwing.
Really, she's fine. Although she'll probably selfishly accept anything offered to her.
She feels like the poison is sort of her's and Almon's, so she'll share it with Almon, or take it all.
Henris won't want the poison, so he won't have an issue with that.
As the main fighter, Roland should have the masterwork cutlass. My plan is to hopefully, eventually, get a returning trident and then strike at range. Henris is designed for support first, combat second, so I can swap my leather armor to someone else if need be.
Roland does know acid splash (odd I know) so he could repeatedly cast that. RAW this would probably do nothing, but if GM rules that metal is particularly susceptible then that could work.
Heads up guys, I'll be unavailable from Wednesday until Saturday. Please feel free to bot me.
Pretty quiet lately. Everyone still here?
Yep. Waiting to see how Aerys reacts to my asking her not to drink the ale right now, and waiting until tonight.
Still here.
Sorry guys been on vacation with no signal I’m on my cell so my formatting is crap but I’ll post as soon as possible I didn’t think it would be a problem originally
Still here. Awfully busy.
It's one thing to have an open relationship, but having a girlfriend next to my wife is... time consuming. Add full time work, a course, an IRL D&D group, and friends and voila, not much left.
Today is a bachelors party. Fun, but there goes saturday :D
Even my cats are complaining about the amount of attention they receive.
That said, I'm doing my best to post at least twice a week, hopefully more.
Nali is mainly up for conversation, this evening.
I'll be posting tonight sorry about the wait, I just got back and after I take care of everything ill post, I didn't realize my wife's choice for vacation would be in the mountains (deep in Colorado) with no cell or wifi unless you went into town.
Hahahaha! That sounds so relatable! I often also do not know where my wife is taking me :D
Once again very sorry about the wait.
@nali- ya its relatable to anyone with a wife. lol. I think she purposefully hides stuff that she knows I wouldn't like. :)
Wow open relationship, two times the fun and two times the headache.
Wow open relationship, two times the fun and two times the headache.
Hahaha, yeah, kinda. The good days is when we're together all three of us, cuz that means I very efficiently spend time with both of them :D
Game of Thrones was awesome for that. I guess we'll need a new series :)
Hey all, I'm going to be a posting a bit less frequently for a bit. Got a new baby and a (probable) new job both starting soon so real life is busy with preparations of various sorts. I should be able to make qyick posts but please feel free to bot me if I'm holding up combat.
Congratulations on your newest mini!!!
No parentship vacation for you??
Congratulations, Almon!
If Almon is based in the US, then probably not. While 12 weeks maternity leave is mandated in the US, nothing says it has to be paid leave, and there's no law providing the same benefit to new fathers. I don't think the law applies to adoption or foster placement, either.
Thanks! In Australia, but I've been a SAHD for the last couple of years so it's not an issue - would have been a couple of weeks, or more depending on employer. Maternity/primary carer gets longer, the wife and I are swapping who's working, so... profit?
Great that you can survive on a single income. That has become harder, the last few decades, in the Netherlands. On the other hand, European Union is forcing a law upon our country to up paid leave for new fathers from two days to six weeks. It's nowhere near Sweden, but it's a great change nonetheless. The law is due to take effect in July 2020. Most parents to be are waiting it out, currently.
Mothers already had a 16 weeks paid leave. Also the lowest in Europe.
In Sweden, for example, parents get to share a year of paid leave between them. But they have 6 hour work days, so are a sort of paradise anyway ;)
We'd go live there, but it's cold up there and they talk funny. Might migrate anyway...
I will be on vacation starting tomorrow through Wednesday. I will have my phone, but posting time may be limited. Please bot me if needed.
sorry about the wait I plan on posting tonight. hopefully
Yay! :)
No worries ;)
posting tonight, deciding how I want it to go..
Ive been watching, if no one has anything more to say I can move forward..... if it looks like people are out I guess let me know...
I'm ready to move on. I was hoping to draw Almond into the conversation, but oh well I suppose.
I think almond is out
It's been a while, is it maybe time to do a head count? Also, is there maybe a way to speed up this survival section? I don't mind the theme, but it's a lot of virtual "doors" which are a general no no with pbp just cause they are hard to get through.
I’m still here, I just think we’re ready to move on.
Sure I can pick up the pace a little , I was wanting to give people a chance to RP backgrounds and get to know the other stranded people and I guess it dragged a little
It's up to you. I'll be along for the ride either way :)
Something I've noticed when I GM PbP, is if I let the players take time to RP for too long, eventually it just drags things out. Especially if the NPCs in general aren't particularly friendly or forthcoming, as most of these are at the minute.
Ya, I'll post tomorrow im reading Painlords DM guide tonight, I want to be better at this sorry. we will move forward even if it just ya'll two. lol. I'm still in.
It's ok. Gm'ing is hard. Thank you for doing it. As long as the game keeps going I'll keep posting :)
Its a bit of a balancing act, giving everyone enough time to RP and explore while also moving things forward. Especially in PbP where having a proper conversation with an NPC could take a month =)
