LOL! And then I go offline over the weekend! Sorry. :(
Feel free to correct me if I've misremembered something. I did my best to look through the logs, but it's been a while!
Almost forgot...
Down to 1 point of damage in Dexterity, Constitution and Wisdom.
Just checking in. I don't want to post in gameplay just to post.
Could always give a little insight to Mylock’s character. What is he thinking? Are the horrors of this place getting to him? What about his uncle? Is Mylock thinking of him? Is Mylock thinking of the others? How does he feel about them.
That’s the thing about pbp, you can give some more insight into your character’s thoughts.
Folks, heads up: I'll be travelling between 29/02 and 04/03. I'll still be checking the forums and will do my best to reply, but will be on my cell phone and thus posts might be on the short side.
Thanks for the heads-up!
On a completely unrelated note, for some reason my spellcheck always wants to correct 'Mylok' to 'milk.'
At least it doesn't get extra cheeky and correct it to milk sop. :P
And no worries GM. Enjoy the trip!
It's my character and I constantly catch my self writing "Mylock".
Hi folks -- sorry, internet access was a bit rubbish during the trip and I could barely access the forums. Will post an update shortly.
We good!
I'd rather start with Yellow, just because I assume it's going to be more interesting. Midnight is near, and I don't think we'll necessarily have time to clear all rooms before then...
So, wait, are the zombies inside the cage? Can they even get out?
The zombies are indeed inside the cage. The door is closed at the moment, but it is unclear how resistant it is.
Sorry, should have fixed the original text from the module so that was clear.
Toy rifles at wooden goblins! Bet Mylok is wondering if he's holding a toy rifle about now! :)
yeah lol. I was like "Srsly? C'mon!"
Had a TPK in a recent game because of bad dice. 5 rounds of rolls for the entire party where a single 9 was the best.... No idea who pissed off Desna! :) (Or Calistria. Or Shelyn...)
Deffo calistria having a laugh, I'd say.
Also, folks, hope you are all safe during these pandemic times. Let me know if you need any special arrangements (slowing down the pace, botting, etc) due to IRL stuff.
I'm good for now. May not be in a few days. Everyone's starting to want remotes and I'm the guy that's in charge of setting them up.
No problem, @Talienda. Just let me know.
I should have no problems continuing to post, but due to new arrangements (my partner is also working from home now) my posts will start coming earlier, around 19:00-20:00 CET
Also, @Talib: just in case it isn't clear, the zombie has not opened the gate. You can still attack it normally (and vice-versa), though.
I'll be checking periodically but my wife is now working from home and my son's daycare closed today. I may be remote by the end of the week.

No problems here. If anything, I've got more time to post than usual. :P

My description works either way, but thanks for the clarification.
I'm good! If you need to, bot me, but I'm okay for the most part. I don't think I'll be having another late night like this one, unless something else comes up.
Since all the new enemies have popped up inside the cage, should we just retreat? No sense getting hurt here for no reason, fighting some random zombies.
That sounds like a plan.
Just a heads up. I did something stupid and gave my fingers a steam burn. I'm hoping that the pain will lessen in the next day or two, but posts from me are definitely going to be less than they have been.
Well, it seems I'm doing a lot better today than I thought I would be. Still stings a little, but not nearly as much as before. Assuming things continue this way, I should be good.
Ouch! Good to hear wasn't that bad.
ouch #2
Happy to hear you're healing fast, though!
Btw. How many of us are still actively checking the forums?
We are nearing the end of the module, but I'm not sure how many are still here (absolutely no judgement, these are turning out to be extraordinary times and I believe many of us have a lot on their hands and minds.)
Should I press forward to bring us to completion? It feels unfair towards those who are too busy. Take a break? Radically slow the posting rate?
Very open to any suggestions.
I'm here. I'm pretty flexible as far as option. I'm hoping that we'll be able to finish up. Also with you on these being interesting times.
Still around! I already tried to get us out of the combat earlier, but it didn't stick for some reason.
I kinda want to check out the interrogation room, but otherwise I'm ready to head towards the climax.
I'm here. Wife and I are working from home with our son and somehow it's harder for me to dedicate time to check the boards.
I'm here. Weekends are harder to watch the board (or post. Watching it on my tablet is easy but posting tedious!) and I extended this past weekend with 2 stay-cation daze.... Translation: Vacation at home with the stir-crazy wife. Stir-crazy because she works from home 100% of the time. My job is considered essential so I can go in to work in my almost empty building....
Talienda mostly ignores what's happening, spilling her rage over Killian. "Hey, I'm not cheerful, just…going along with the ride, you know? You're just getting antsy because you're just realising that, you know, bad things happen and there's nothing you can do about it. Like, welcome to the real world, m'lady. It sucks."
Was this statement heard only by Talienda? It was contained in a spoiler for her so I figured I should ask before commenting....
I'd say it happen about the same time as y'all were filing in, but I'm not the GM.
Talienda is getting a little sick of all the self-serving attitudes that appear on the jury. So far the only decent ones were Halgrak and the Iomedean. To be honest, nihilists get on my nerves anyway, so wasn't too hard to have Talienda snap at him.
Goblins ate my reply, apparently.
Four seems like a reasonable amount, so I'll continue moving things forward. Feel free to explore more, but I might start pushing the remaining events a bit more now.
@Rissi: I'd say you heard the last exchange, as you left the room earlier, but not the others.
Oof. Sorry. I took this:
unexpected tension between Killian and Talienda.
as we caught the tail end of that convenient. That's my mistake.
Skurly had two of our healing potions. Can we assume those are still in our possession?
Yeap, no problem, you can assume you have access to everything you found inside the courthouse and that's in either Skurly's or Sinésiel's possession, as I believe they wouldn't have any problems with collaborating with the rest of the group.
I just wanted you to know that my spell check insists on correcting "Mylok" to "milk." That's all.
Oh gosh, there's a really bad off-color joke in there somewhere. :D
Are we still waiting for Mylok and Sinésiel?
I was mostly waiting for Mylok (since Sinésiel hsa been M.I.A. for some time), but if he doesn't post in the next hour or so I will bot them.
I have a bad feeling about this...
"I'm just a young troubadour" hoping this game's not over....
Yeah... maybe we should have gone straight towards the finale. My bad. At least a TPK is an ending, which is better than none. :P
Yup, I would like to finish out the module, but at least it's been a fun run.
yeah, it's not looking great -- that's a pretty tough enemy and I think it was intended to be encountered a tad earlier (or at least before casters ran out of spells). But it's not a lost cause.
Well, luckily bot-mylok has been rolling pretty well, so this crisis has been averted.
