DM-Camris' IRONFANG INVASION Chapter 1: Trail of the Hunted
Game Master
Camris
Part 3: CRADLED IN STONE
The refugees need a place to call home, however temporarily, and it needs to be somewhere secure.
A set of caves in the area offers multiple opportunities, including concealment, food, and water, in addition to some wealth.
Aubrin vaguely remembers a troglodyte tribe called the Children of Stone that often harassed—and feasted upon—Chernasardo Rangers in the area during her time. Aubrin recalls the creatures—and their secure home—and asks the party to investigate the location as a possible long-term home.

It was one of my favorite APs when I was playing, and I really enjoyed the theme and difficulty. I saw this in another thread and wondered if we might end up recruiting any replacements or not

That person had at least one fellow table member that also wanted to revisit this campaign. :Shrug:
I'll be at a conference for work this week and will probably need to be botted throughout the week. I will post when I can but don't wait around for me.

It would be nice to have a Mage.
Um, even with the loss of two players, we still have six PC's. If you all want to import this person, I need all of you to approve of it.

Didn't realize that many of us had stuck around

I will say that we would likely have need for a full arcane caster at some point. I'm fine either way. The larger group definitely helped with surviving attrition.
That being said, I know it's a big group to manage so I could see the merit in keeping us as-is for mow.
Male Half-Orc (Chelish) Bard (Arrowsong Minstrel) 4
I'd say adding a full caster would be useful - but that'd be the only reason.
OK, everyone who replied was positive, so I'll reach out to Litejedi, see if he's interested.

There are also rules for assigning tasks to each of the refugees, but in my opinion they should be automated in PbP play.
If you guys really want to, I'll trot them out for you, but in my opinion in PbP they're more trouble then they're worth.

I think I agree with you on that. I'm liking the way you sort of made Jet quartermistress etc. I guess we'll interact with them as needed, I like having NPC's that we can interact and establish connections with.

Arlen can be rearguard, but he and Russet are also pretty capable scouts if we ever want them to scout ahead

Apologies - I thought I posted that I would be away for a holiday over the last week -- and yet I can't see that post.
Anyhow, was away, and am back. Very sorry if it didn't happen.

Hi guys I am in San Diego. Unfortunately I got sick last Monday. I got swabbed it should know the results tomorrow. And I just got home so now I can try to catch up on the games.

Best of luck, John.
Also - it seems that this isn't the only discussion thread where my "going to be away" post didn't take. I mean, not that I care to troubleshoot a problem from 2 weeks ago, but still.

I'm in New York so it's pretty crazy. Masks required in public, 6ft distances marked off in the supermarket/bank. Had to go out today to puck up food and meds. It's pretty bad.
But my family and I are safe, working from home, and helping my 11yr old deal with school online.

Doing fine. I spent the first few years of my career working from home and being a total homebody. I don't enjoy working from home again, really, but it has upsides and it is so much worse for a lot of people. I have nothing to complain about. My kids are pretty young so their e learning needs are pretty light, and my wife works fewer hours than I do.
Hope everyone else is doing alright, and that we hear from the GM soon

I'm a teacher in NYC. I've been totally fine and healthy and at least I have an insanely monumental task to share as to how we keep ALL our kids in the loop. It is a wild ride.

We've got all non-essential businesses closed here - so that means grocery, pharmacy and liquor stores are open. Hardware only if they can do contactless pickup. And, of course, restaurants that deliver or do take-out.
And we've got the new plexi-shields for most of the cashiers, and the floor markings, and many stores are limiting the the number of people allowed in.
We'd been doing the curbside pickup as our way of getting groceries, but now everyone's doing it so the pickup dates are all like 2 weeks away - so I'll have to go into the stores.

week from hell coming up for me; big work deadline + moving all at the same time. Please bot me as necessary this week.

Yeah, you'd think with a pandemic on I'd have more time to do this and not less...

My grandfather passed away this morning. I am going to travel and spend the next week with my family. I will have a lot of time on my hands so might still post here and there, but I won't be •trying• to keep up. Don't wait around for me and bot me as necessary.
Feel free to use his cavalier 1/day ability if there is a really tough fight.

I apologize for the lateness of my reply Arlen. I wish you the very best and I hope you can live in good memories of the man.

Thank you for the condolences everyone. It is still tough but I am getting through. He meant a lot to me.

In other news: GM, is this a phase you're going through now? If so, I'm fine. I'm in this for the long haul. But if there is no light at the end of the tunnel I think I would like to find another table. "It will be a few months" is a fine answer.
I hope everyone is safe in these difficult times!

Arlen: No, no, I'm here to stay. Sometimes I get a little burnout for a while, but I have always come back.
Most gamemasters I've played with here go through the same bipolar phases, and others disappear completely.

Thanks for botting me. Traveling to visit my parents has been a lot more complicated this year.
Player need to finish up their actions so the DM can close this round! Hope everyone is still with us.
