Hi there GM,
Sleeping Sword will have a GMxp applied prior to the start of this game, which will make him level 5 (Cleric 1 / Monk 4).

Hey GM, I'm sure there's nothing I need to tell you about this character.
| GM Elberion |
Hey GM, I'm sure there's nothing I need to tell you about this character.
Awesome!
Father Urzaia Conflict

Actually, I don't remember if you saw the Clawhand Shield. Urzaia's shield is able to complete any somatic components for him so he doesn't have to have a free hand. He also has Reliquary Armor to act as his divine focus.

Whelp, it looks like my character is going to be tied up as our PbP doesn't seem like it will finish by the 16.

I don't mind starting a couple of days late, or do you think it will be longer than that?
If you think it will be longer, let me know and I will take you off the spreadsheet and advertise your place.
Ari-Ani
|
I asked the GM before posting here and am still waiting for a response.
I would not fault you for seeking out a replacement.
Jivan
|
I'm good with starting a few days late.
Jivan will buy a ring of protection +1, a cloak of resistance +1, and an ioun torch; total expenditure 3075 gp. He'll also spend 2 PP on a wand of endure elements.
Ari-Ani
|
GN says we are only half way. Go ahead and take this as my official withdrawal so you can find someone else.
| GM Elberion |
Take it!
Noral, drop your info into the spreadsheet in Ari-Ani's place.
Ari-Ani, thanks for keeping us updated. Hopefully we will play together some day.

Thanks! I’ll bring Taariik!
I need to level him to 6.
Dana Katsu

Sorry, I decided to play my psychic after all.
Sleeping Sword

Our sixth is Lil'Eschie's Bard. I play regularly with Lil'Eschie, I'll drop 'em a PM.
| GM Elberion |
As a Brit, I do find 'I could care less' very odd.
We say 'I could not care less', to suggests that we do not care even a single jot.
Sleeping Sword

::fellow Brit nods in agreement::
Sleeping Sword picks up a few mundane items when shopping: a bandolier (to stow wands), smoked goggles, a waterproof bag. And if possible a potion sponge of Touch of the Sea.
| GM Elberion |
That’s all fine: it’s a decent-sized settlement.
Father Urzaia Conflict
|
I'm not even a brit and it's long bugged me
Father Urzaia Conflict
|
Urzaia has no shopping to do.
| GM Elberion |
Sorry for the hiatus.
It's been a crazy week: kids are off school, we are still working full-time (both key-workers) and grandparents not allowed to do childcare because of the plague.
Sleeping Sword
|
Dunno about Welsh Wales (I'm assuming that's where our GM is from) but in many parts of the UK this has been the half-term school holiday. And outside of the holiday schools are open for key workers' kids only, remote learning for the rest.
| GM Elberion |
I am no longer living in the land of my fathers, sadly, but am in the UK.
Yes, the kids are back in school now. I have great sympathy for those parents of young children who are equally busy but not key workers. You end up doing a bad job of parenting, a bad job of your job and having no time for anything else.

My nipper is two years old and at home the whole time. She makes frequent appearances in Teams meetings :)
| GM Elberion |
My youngest is 4, so he's in nursery. He still manages to gatecrash the odd lesson when he's home.
Father Urzaia Conflict
|
I opted to continue to go into the office. 1, now 2, year old and 4 dogs would not mesh well with my high frequency of phone calls.
| GM Elberion |
Okay, finally got organised.
In my tag-line, there is now a link to the slides for this scenario.
Would you please add your name and bonuses to each of the sections on slide 1 and your pawn to the marching orders (single file and two abreast) on slide 2.
Please, add a pawn where you think it would best fit and then any discussion about marching order can happen here afterwards.

"Much is written. But the Way is closed to you. Do not wish it otherwise. Instead, listen to the Will of the Empress of Heaven as it is expressed to you."
The reason why Sleeping Sword cannot divulge the deep secrets of the Way to Dana is simply because she is not a dhampir. Sleeping Sword's order is hidden, open only to dhampirs who follow Shizuru; at the monastery they learn Hungry Ghost techniques to keep their vampiric sides under control.
Dana Katsu
|
Off to the next location?
Father Urzaia Conflict
|
Works for me
Dana Katsu
|
These investigations are fun though! :D
| GM Elberion |
The third crime scene is in Kalsgard’s Ice Quarter. Quil explains that the man was a merchant by trade, Nockzet Griddlu, and he had recently won big in some of the high-stakes games she runs.
Investigation rules are the same as before. Perception and Gather Information, or do just one at +4.
Dana Katsu
|
Happens to me all the time. :-)
Ashwell
|
As a general rule, I find investigative missions tough to run successfully on PBP, but GM, I think you are doing a great job. I am really enjoying the investigation so far. Just wanted to point that out in case I forget later.
| GM Elberion |
Cheers, although most of the praise should go to Alex Riggs, for writing the adventure.
| GM Elberion |
Before we go any further, would everyone please click the link in the stat line, between "GM" and "All-powerful dictator of reality 4", where it says Corpses in Kalsgard.
Then, on slide 1 please enter the relevant information for your character and on slide 2 add your character's image in the appropriate place for marching orders, both 2x2 and single-file.
Thank you, those who have done it already.
Dana Katsu
|
So sorry for the delay. Dana is really forgetful and it slipped her mind.
Included all details now. ;-)
| GM Elberion |
Apologies everyone.
One of our kittens knocked a pint of water over my laptop.
It will be a little while before I can get someone to retrieve my data (including the pdfs) and I will need to buy a new laptop as well.
I won’t be able to move the action forward for a little while :(
