My general assumption is that folks who haven't actively stated they are staying behind will go with the party for simplicity's sake.
Brindle is not particularly interested in going underground, and much more interested in knowing if the town is under threat...so she stays out high point.
Just to clarify. ;)
I was poking around the recruitment thread and I found this:
Notable Locations in the Barrens
High Gulch: The town that you all live in. It is built into the walls of a narrow pass through the Serpent’s Spine, a high and nearly impassable mountain range. High Gulch sustains itself off of trade passing through, scavenging tech from nearby ruins, and farming.
The Blast Fields: Located to the south of the High Gulch, the Blast Fields are a vast tract of desert inhabited mostly by mutant tribes. Though some skirt around them to trade with the sun fanatics of Sull Arfurm or the reclusive Techno-claves, its significant risk often outweighs the rewards.
Exchange: One of the largest settlements in this area of the Barrens, Exchange is perhaps the closest thing to civilization that many have seen. With reliable fresh water, a large population, and a decently stable food supply, it is the center of trade in the region.
The Shattered Spires: Legends say that when the gods still ruled the sky, the spires were their earthly home. Now, the towers are the domain of the winged Cirriikiiskrii, fanatically xenophobic birdmen who protect the towers. However, the incredibly valuable tech salvage that originates from the broken towers of metal and crystal continue to draw scavengers and aspirant Rust Saints.
Can we slap some of these down on the map? Some of them sound pretty interesting.
Ralrae would be staying back at the town, then, as he was actively repairing things as he was able.
I’m totally busy IRL, so Brindle not doing much for now works for me...
Unfortunately, life happens and Ralrae is going to part ways with the group here... Recent life events have taken up more of my time and I won't be able to adequately play my characters here for quite a while - months, maybe years - so I am reluctantly bowing out before it becomes a problem. Thank you all for the RP and the adventure, and to GM Coyote for running a fun campaign!
Best of luck Ralrae! I'll properly see you off once we finish up our adventure together in Fragments of the First, but it's been a pleasure having you in this wasteland adventure.
Thanks for playin' Ralrae! Hope to see you again someday. And good luck raising those kids!
Mebbe Ralrae has decided to stay on in the little benighted village to help defend aginst bandits and suchlahk, Brindle will be sad to part ways...
Given Ralrae's departure, I may try to find a new character that can provide some ranged support. Assuming you all are fine with it, I'll start looking and then introduce them once we're done with this mission.
Go ahead, the more the merrier I say!
The same... well as long as they arent crazy girl bandit's who once had Bas lit on fire.... actually scratch that they would be amusing too. :)
Oh, it's hilarious that I rolled a 2 right when I say I'm making full use of my wilderness knowledge. >:(
So much for stone call being an equalizer...
Given that we're getting close to wrapping up this sidequest, I think it's a good time to pick up a few more players for some ranged support and general attrition resistance. If anyone has someone they'd like to invite, feel free to, otherwise I'll either reach out to someone or dust off the old recruitment thread.
I have a good person, Sent them the link to the gameplay thread to see if it peaks their interest.
Hello everyone! I am Timeskeeper, you can just call me Times. I'm the one Bas sent the message to!
I've been told you need a range support, so I've got a Swashbuckler (Musketeer) idea, and a vanilla Gunslinger.
Also the GM thinks it would be easiest to bring me in if I have some form of tie in to a current player's story. So... any ideas?
Good to meetcha!
Since Ralrae backed out, maybe you could tie in with his character? A mentor or perhaps collaborator in some kind of caper before our little adventure? He'd push you forward with us after deciding to retire himself. Call in a favor I'd guess.
You're free to tie in with me if you like. Sprig's a caravaner making his way across the wasteland. Could have worked together before. A kobold ain't exactly a common sight.
Then there's Bas of course, Maybe your character helped him get out of the game, try and go straight. Might have gone your separate ways for a while then reunited in town.
In other news, I'm sorry I've been slow recently. I'm actually about to change careers and I've got a lot to work on. Things have been busy!
No worries on the speed.
I've been adjusting to juggling school and work, so I've definitely been busy too.
Welcome times Times.
@GM - did anyone actually tacitly say they were killing the prisoner? Not that Brindle would care much either way...
Not explicitly, but I'd rather shy away from depicting executions. Not something I tremendously want to write out.
While Times works on their character, I may see about bringing on one more to pad out our roster a bit. I've got someone in mind, I just want to make sure you all are alright with a sixth.
Fine with a sixth.
I wasn’t at all interested in a graphic death scene, more concerned that no-one explicitly said they were going to kill the prisoner.
It can be assumed if we run across prisoners that we have no desire or place to turn in, Bas would handle the details including up to burying the body. He figures his soul as it were is already on the negative end of things no sense in messing up you nice folks Karma.
I am a fan of folks playing in game bring on 6 to 20 if they can keep the pace up :P Another person is fine with me :)
Sounds good to me!
Just wanted to give you guys an update! I settled on the Swahbuckler Musketeer, and have been setting everything into place. Still have to do a few things like feats and equipment, and her whole story! XD
But point is! It's moving along.
Sorry to cause further delay, but my work has finally gotten around to adding more people! Which I mean yay now I don't have to be five people every shift, but the schedule hasn't settled yet so my time hasn't been completely my own! I do have today off so after I do all my adulting I'm going to sit down and see about finishing Katheryn McHaven properly.
Here is the character's crunch! Please feel free to look it over and tell me what you think!
Looks good to me!
Before I move us on, any thoughts on how you'd like to join the group?
I did think about being a long range guardian of sort. Found a group who chose to do good things and decided to look after them as penitence for all those she stalked to kill and or rob before she turned to a different path.
sorry for the delay in response. Lightning strike took out my power and internet, everthings good now will be responding soon.

Sounds good - Bas is an ex-bandit seeking to atone for his sins...well actually I’m not sure what Bas is doing, I shouldn’t speak for him, but he did used to be a wasteland reaver...
Extra narrative points earned if you’ve stalked or killed any Gnolls in the Highlands...
I could totally work that in Brindle!
If anyone else has anything they want to have added in just let me know! Good thing about not having too much time to write is that I have more time to think.
You have the right of it Brindle no worries :)
Awesomesausages! If you've encountered any druids they may have been other members of Saraon's Halcyon Circle. ;)
Got her story up on her page. Left enough vague for latter ideas!
@Katheryn: suitably hard and grim. You’ll fit raht in...
That exchange gave me the warm fuzzies, and not just cuz of Brindle's fur! :D
So I hadn't put much thought into some sort of trade/aid subsystem for the game, but Sprig's pitch gives me some ideas.
I'm in the midst of finals right now, but once my break starts I may draw up some rules for it, probably using some sort of abstracted resource points and teams that can accomplish things.
I have Brew Potion, but I can't cast healing spells. So if you cast the spell, we together can make the potions!
Oh, if that's the case, then I'd be happy to help! :D
Hey folks, finals have given me a lot more on my plate than I anticipated, so I haven't been able to post as much as I'd want. I should be able to get back to a more reliable posting schedule by next week.
As I said in the other game, take as long as you need. Real life comes first.
Yeah we'll be here!

And to you!
And once again, Brindle proves she is best girl! XD
