I got home at 4am this morning, so while I'm technically here, Gameplay won't update until tomorrow.
I'll give it a day or so in case Batry has something to say. If not, hostilities will commence!
I'll post later tonight, need to read back up on all Swaggy's combat abilities.
Batry, you up for smacking some hobs with haste and sweet buffs? :)
I am. Silly week at work for me so haven't had a chance to sit down.
Aside from Batry, nobody's posted for a week now. Is everything okay?
Oh. Oops. I somehow thought the enemies had yet to go after Batry XD
Looks like 1 vote for immediate hostilities and 1 vote for holding off for at least a few seconds. If Batry doesn't chime in, what's the verdict?
I always feel like we should push ahead rather than discuss things, because discussion takes soooooo long in play by post. :/
Im fine with immediate hoatilities to keep things moving :)
Hey everyone, starting tomorrow I will be going on a 1 week vacation. I should be back on the evening of the 13th (of august). I'll have some internet access but will probably not be able to post daily. Please bot me if required. Best of fun/luck to everyone and hope to see you when I get back!
I've updated the map, but before we continue, I have a quick question. Do you want to explore and loot before or after the boss fight?
Let's do the boss fight first, so we can take our time with the aftermath?
Apologies, the last verse might have been a tad too distasteful. I try not to include too many swear words in the lyrics but figured that he went a bit overboard with these rolls. :)
We appear to have lost Batry. I'll begin combat shortly, but now's probably a good time to figure out how we want to proceed with the campaign. The end of Book One is a natural stopping point if we want to end, but we can also continue if both of you are still up for it. Let me know your thoughts.
I'm up for continuing if Swaggy is.
Sure, I am. Will we recruit a replacement?
I'm up for continuing as well. It would be nice if things moved a bit faster, but honestly, work's leaving me mentally exhausted at the moment, so the slowness is helping me out. XD
I don't have a preference regarding whether or not we recruit a replacement PC, so I'll leave it up to you. It would be nice to have a wizard-type who can use all the spellbooks that'll show up throughout the AP, but it's not necessary. Swaggy's squad already gives us a sizable army of goblins, after all.
Another active player would probably help us pick up the pace a bit.
Sorry for not mentioning this here sooner, but i'm going through a rough period at home which is majorly cutting into my writing time. My stepmother is dying from cancer and my wife is not taking it well. Have to care for the younglings on my own atm. I'll still try and get a post out tonight. Recruiting a third or fourth might help move things along a bit.

I sincerely apologize for my prolonged silence. Work has been weird the last few weeks with a very intense last month for my current job interspersed with fixing stuff for my new job and then the possibility for a newer new job as well.
Combine that with with having to help my mom more as her MS plays up in the aftermath of a covid infection and it all results in quite a messy time in which I just can't seem to get my head straight for cohesive thought beyond the essential stuff.
Hey everyone, wanted to drop a note here, apologizing for my silence. Life has been very hectic for me as well, my son had to be operated on again, I started working again, and lots of things had to be done in the background. I haven't had that much time to write across all my PBP's. That has gotten slightly better but not as much as I'd hoped.
While I do have some time again, thinking on it some more, I wouldn't be opposed anymore to making the end of book 1 here the natural stop for this campaign. I've never played the original ROTRL, and like Swaggy I have zero clue as to what's going on and why. That's probably the direct result of us killing all the enemy longshanks instantly, and totally fits goblins :) But as a player, not knowing bothers me a bit, and next to the large amount of reading and time in recheking and executing the sphere system I wouldn't mind sitting this one out after book 1.
Either way, I'm still very thankful for the excellent GMing and giving me a chance to play this, dictator GM :) I've often felt dwarfed by your superior writing/rapping skills!
I completely understand. This is a good stopping point, to be honest, and it'll free up some mental space for everyone. Hopefully the game's been a bit of a respite from the chaos of real life.
It's been a fun ride, and I'd love to do it again sometime in the future. XD
I'm pretty sad it's ending, but I understand. I will really miss your GM-ing style, YBD! It was really fun how you narrated everything from the goblin perspective, and that made everything so much better!
