An Opalline Tide

Game Master Patrick Curtin

Whatever you do, don't buy land there!

I can hardly Belize it!

We spent five years in the FTC getting that settled. Whatta mess

OH, and as an aside. I didn't write up Kersh, he's in the module. He let his minion (who was pretending to be his torturer) tune his face up a bit for a better believably.

Oh I figured, brilliant!

Just noticed that the sneak attack on Jakun was a crit threat. I'm going to call it my bad, and not roll it, since Kersh's dice are hot and Jakun looks to be down a lot of HPs right now.

I saw that but I had cast Mage Armor so actually I was good as my AC is currently 16 not 12, it's like you just knew!

So, I had had Jakun out of melee, but now we will have to sinter everything together. This is what I see using the main initiative tracker as the baseline:

RD 1: Jakun had headed out to the tunnel, and went to check the door
RD 2 Jakun is first sneak attacked then the first round of attacks
RD 3: Jakun’s attack on extra guy

So, IF Anyone wants to go towards Jakun’s position, this is where they’ll be at by round. I know the timeline is bumpy, but I didn’t think this opportunity would have happened like it did.

Oh and let us not forget that poor Narl is beset by a very large and surly crocodilly …..

Posting in a moment, need to look at the map and figure out where I am/who's the imminent threat.

Edit:
Great. Crocodile, sounds of Jakun getting murdered, sound of crossbow ambush....what to do???

Patrick, thanks for the sinter. Norveg should join Jakun in round 3. 1 summon, 2 move, 3 join in the fun.

I think Narl is in trouble grappling is not his thing for certain. As far as Belize goes the government is less than stellar but it is a beautiful country and our happy place. Jungle, Ocean, Reef and friendly people with good rum lots to like.
We have been going down since 2012.

If I’m looking at things right, there is no way for Tragon to engage the croc in melee, correct? And I am unaware of what is going on with Jakun?

So not sure if Narl beat the concentration check but he rolled an 18 to try and cast a spell on the croc.

Wow.
I tune out for a day, and I miss a lot.

Figures. :P

Catching up!

missed it by THAT much

Seriously. Needed a 20. That is raw. However, you do have a cleric coming in on the assist, and Tragon will hopefully assist as well.

You can engage this round. I had had you retreat to 13 Spider to get a heal. You can attack through friendlies this round. You are close enough for a move/atk sequence. I have been fairly liberal with the hearing of Jakun fighting, so yes, you can hear that there is something awry farther back in the hallways. However, the albino is looking a lot pinker these days ....

As a conscientious DM, I feel like I should warn you are in danger of committing one of the classic blunders :

“Never split the party when in hostile territory!”

I warned you! But, no, you wouldn’t listen..

ROFL!

When MONTY Flippin' PYTHON tells you it's a bad idea,...

It's a BAD IDEA! ;P

(Monty Python may be MANY things. But 'Wrong' is rarely one of them!);)

Hey there,
Sorry, forgot to mention in my PbP's that I was going in for another surgery Wednesday. It was to resolve issue #1 of my Prostate cancer removal. (I've 0only been waiting a year and a friggin' half! >_<

It,... Did NOT go as planned. :(

Halfway through they ran into an 'issue' and they had to do a repair of a tear. This meant they had to cancel the planned procedure, as the install of the implant would have interfered with the healing of what they just fixed.

I am fine. i am at home. And I am,... perturbed, at the turn it took. ;P
This means I have to go through all of the healing time I planned for, but with none of the expected benefits. ;P

And in another 2-3 months, I can revisit trying again.

In short, because I literally cannot sit up due to incision location, I will be noticeably absent for a few days, until I can actually sit on my chair.
I will type entries standing up (like I am now!) when I have the time and ability to do so.

Apologies for forgetting to provide early warning.
Feel free to bot my toons. (And play them smarter than I do!) ;P

See you as soon as possible!

As I mentioned elsewhere, I hope you feel better and heal swiftly. Not being able to sit is not a fun thing. Take all the time you need

I hope you heal quickly and well.

Thank you, sincerely.

Standing up is actually more comfortable than lying on the couch.
But typing while hunched over like this is worse than my usual bad posture! ;P

And My body is reminding me to take it easy. Emphatically.
So you get out of dealing with my toons' novella-length posts!
(For a while, anyway) ;)

OK. Although there is no active battles about, there are hostiles doing hostile things behind the scenes. So, for now we stay in initiative. Post actions as if we are working in an action economy.

Aye-Aye! :)

Hey all. I’ll be traveling this weekend, so my posting will be spotty. We’ll pick things up next week

Understood!

Safe Travels!

(Hopefully for fun? Or at least you get to have fun even if it's for work?) ;)

So, the week has gotten away with me. I am hoping to have a bit of breathing room Friday to get all the action sorted. Stay tuned

Sounds good,
I'll have some time Fri & Sat, But this next week is the university Opera Musical, called "Mystery of Edwin Drood".

So, yeah, I will try to keep up, but none of my usual novel-length posts for about a week.

(You're Welcome!) ;P

Well, things have been challenging this week. My stepfather up in Nova Scotia passed away suddenly. I am booked out for a flight tomorrow, and I’ll be out of pocket until next Thursday. I might try to get some things set, it depends on how the trip goes. I might be incommunicado, hard to tell. We likely won’t start another brawl soon. But post the actions up and we’ll see.

Patrick I am sorry to hear about the passing of your step father. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family through this loss.

So very sorry to hear that.
Condolences and prayers for you and your family.
Travel Safe.

Sorry for your loss.

Hi folks I am back, but of course a weeks worth of issues have been loaded onto me. I don’t think I will have the time to do anything today. I will attempt to catch up tomorrow

Glad you are back (Presumably safe?!?)

No worries, just take care and let us know when you're ready.

Happy weekend all!

In my defense, I thought the door was spiked from the other side.

Jakun spiked it to hold off any potential attacks from behind, it uh... didn't work....

LOL, Best laid plans and all that,...

Hi folks. I’m sorry I haven’t been active. Last week was very busy. This weekend was my birthday and the universe gave me a special present- a fender bender. So, I’ve been a little scattered. I will attempt to catch up

No Worries Patrick. Sorry about the fender bender and on your birthday weekend no fun. From Facebook stalking though other than that you look like you enjoyed the weekend.

Sorry about the bender-fender,
And belated Happy Birthday! :)

No worries, We'll see you when you get caught up!

Hey all. So, the long weekend was busy, and left me with a nasty cold/flu thing. I have been behind on everything, but I will try and catch up tomorrow.

ugh! Sorry to hear that!

get better!
(Quickly!) ;)

I'm sorry for my slowness. I tore the cornea off my LEFT eye this time, so haven't been able to use a computer this week until today. I'll try to update tomorrow.

Yes, it hurts.

Oh cheese whiz!

(I'm afraid to ask HOW you did such a thing, twice apparently. But I afraid that maybe I dont really wanna know?!?) O_o

DAMN! How on earth???

Sorry that happened Treppa that must suck. I hope you are on the mend now.

Eeeshhh, get well soon. My wife has Iritis so I know how terrible eye injuries and eye problems can be.

Much better, thank you. The bandage contact lens should be removed today, and I can finally see well!

For those who are curious, this is the culprit. The docs remove the raised tissue - like the skin of a blister - and put in antibiotics, dilation drops for the iritis, and the bandage contact. It takes a week or so to heal because I tend to tear off large chunks.

Oh good grief.
And I thought that eye problems due to (improperly managed) Diabetes was bad.

Glad that you are recovering!

Well, crap. This month is turning out as bad as last month. I’m sorry folks. It’s been a rough Spring. I’d like to say I’ll be on top of things, but I can promise r/n. Thursday looks to be my only day to update, and that will be very situational.

Treppa, sorry about the eye! On the good note, maybe you can get a stylish eyepatch for a pirate game?
