[5e] Descent into Avernus (Inactive)

Game Master mishima

I guess I got a little confused with the intelligence issues... I apologize. I just thought that if the imp is already directly showing that he noticed us, then I can make a continuation of the series about the arrogance and short-sightedness of some rich young people from noble families (oh gods, "Jeeves and Wooster"!).

No worries from me. We've all misread posts before. Cheers

Oh yes, especially since I read and wrote on a short transfer in Muscat between two flights of 6+ hours ))

... and I'm back.

On the Simon front, misread though it was? It WAS quintessentially Simon to act that way ;)

Great play every one...

Will update in a few hours.

I'm getting sick and couldn't get caught up with every game tonight. I will post tomorrow - my students are all finishing projects and need very little handholding right now.

Cross-posting my untouched games.

I'm sorry to say that I have overextended myself and some life things have come up to make it difficult for me to keep up with as many games as I am in. I need to bow out of this one. Apologies for the flakiness & I hope you all have a good time.

Ouch, very sorry to hear it but understand.

Very sorry... Maybe the situation will calm down? Sometimes there are periods when all your posts are a roll of the dice when it is necessary to roll it. But sometimes there are periods when you can write a lot, it's interesting and with immersion in the role. Perhaps it's worth waiting it out without making hasty decisions? Just thinking out loud, because I usually just have everything going in such waves as I described.

Sorry to hear that Astrid... I know the feeling and have been teetering around pulling out as well...

There is nothing hasty or knee-jerk about my decision. I don't drop out of things lightly. I can't give the game the attention it deserves, and that isn't going to change anytime soon.

Enjoy the game, guys.

I'm sorry, I understand!
I will be glad to see you at some game next time.

Sorry to hear that Astrid... I know the feeling and have been teetering around pulling out as well...

I'm gonna cry if ya do...

Haven't pulled the trigger yet... Life is just coming at me sideways...

Take a day or two then is my advice. It's always worked for me... we'll, not always, but it couldn't hurt.

I totally get it guys, and I hope I'm not pressuring you to produce multiple paragraph compositions all the time. As a player, I don't have that stamina when I have more than 2-3+ games going on. I don't expect you to either. Posts with just rolls and OOC are fine if you are in a time crunch.

Guys, apologies but taking a day.

Hi team. Had my RL game last night and second shift tonight. Super tired after clearing snow. Post tomorrow.

There's this thing called foreshadowing and irony... inappropriate as it was I laughed when our NPC was decapitated looking out.

Great game. Loving it.

Currently sick as a dog. Please bot me as needed.

Get well soon!

[Get well soon!] - 2

So, are we preparing for battle and rushing forward?

Glad u clarified because I was lost in your last ooc

Sorry, I was pretty exhausted last night.

You and me both! Lol

Nice description there!

Back among the living, so I should resume regular posting as soon as this evening.

Well, when life comes at you, it not comes single spies, but in battalions. Aside from all of my other problems, my brother is now on verge of a divorce after 15 years of marriage... I think I am going to have to drop this one, as it has become more involved than I had expected. You all are amazing RP-ers and I am devastated that I must withdraw...

I am especially sorry to my battle-brother, Grim. I will occasionally pop on the boards and look in on you all, but I cannot dedicate the time that I would like on this game.

I wish you all the best of luck and rock Hell so hard that it spits you out in the end!!!

Ouch! Sorry to hear it Aesh. Hope everything turns around for you and yours.

Thank you. It was a call that I had not expected to receive yesterday... I hope they can at least keep it amicable for my nieces and nephew...

Mate, been there and nearly walked then decided to stay and try again. Not sure if it's been worth it but it hasn't been all downside. Be there for your brother and family.

And if you ever decide to ask for a back in? I'm sure Infinity wouldn't say no.

Donal, sorry to hear that and totally understand the need to focus on RL stuff. Hope it all works out as best as it can.

Thank you both!

@Donal And me too! RL wins! We look forward to your return!

cheers

Thanks, Mal... It still cracks me up that my character is inspired by a character from the movie Serenity and you share a name with the main character... XD

EDIT: I was waiting to use the line, My perfect world? I'm not going to live there, Malcolm... I am a monster...

Just don't forget us when stuff gets better... and it WILL get better, it just takes time.

Hopefully this wasn't needed to be said but yes, as Grim hinted you are welcome back should things change. I think the world of you as both DM and player.

Thank you all...

Depending on what happens here, I'll have at least one more descriptive update today for your next stint across town. Snow day and totally in the mood to write.

Loved it. Nice writing and twist into contemporary... it's almost like breaking the 4th wall.

Thanks for the feedback. :) I'm digging this Elturel atmosphere but am really excited about some of the stuff coming later in the adventure...had to squeak out a little taste.

Okay, not sure where Lucian is in any of this at the moment, so not sure of where to jump back in.

You are wherever you'd like to be, feel free to interact with as much or as little as you choose. I was assuming you were part of the forward team helping make sure the coast is clear before motioning the others to follow.

I just came here and here's the news. Well, real life really comes first. Let everything work out in the best way. We will hope for your possible return, Donal! )

Thanks! Just wait until I can make a timely return when you need us most! ^_^

I'm all for moving into the tunnels, just haven't been able to post due to work and RL stuff the last couple of days. Will try to get something posted this afternoon.

I'm assuming we will need Perception or Investigation to actually locate a tunnel entrance?

Yes, or passives might make it obvious if you get closer. You are still about 50 ft away in the dark alley. The garden surrounding the shrine also appears to be on fire, offering another potential hazard.

Basically just need to hear in game:

1) Yes/no you are going to check this area of interest out.
2) If so, how you (as a party) are going to approach this area of interest.

I'm for yes and use our old plan of skirmishers 60-80 ft ahead.

Will have the map up in a tad.

edit: Map all set, check Grid in profile.

Reminder control+alt+plus can zoom the slide itself instead of your browser.

Also, the half-height wall is full height. I just lowered it for visibility. 12 zombies total of various races, including dragonborn...
