Vex sits in boudoir with a little bit of the bubbly, handful of popcorn* and watches the dramatic scenes unfold...

*Not a euphemism ;)

Bez should be back pretty soon. I think we have Melira up in combat.

I will look for a sheet from Saen later today.

Yeah I thought he made a dndbeyond

The 5e zombies get a little con save to stabilize and stay up. Kinda like orc ferocity in PF.

Saen linked a beyond sheet Here.

I guess he could just use Chill Touch.

To be honest, I kinda wanted Saen to run away and not help, but I'm deferring to your judgment.

Actually it does make sense that he would run for help since Bez disrupted the door from getting sealed.

I also feel like we're not in danger of being murdered in the first combat anymore, and Melira did tell him to run.

Yeah I will be honest I am not the DM to ever fudge dice but I was a little worried!

It is more narratively consistent though that he runs.

Uh the dice gods are critting Saendithas!

I'm back but swampy with work...will try to post tomorrow! Or tonight?

Whew!

Bad zombie rolls at least.

Oh! I just noticed they have really bad AC.

Bez hit twice just now.

I think I will preserve the initiative count for the zombie encounter.

Bez will have to use one of his actions to tie up Rhendlyth so he will not get to act when he reaches the auditorium.

Totally reasonable!

I took some stage work so I will be a little light til I get through these gigs!

Stage work is good. $$ :D

Yeah I have been out with back injury but I need money

Ok I finished the gig and now resting up.

Nice to come back to read good posts!

Sorry guys my brain is still mush :D

Two sixteen hour shifts back to back :D

Resting is nice, sixteen hour shifts are not. I'm always going to be ok if you don't feel like posting. I'm not in a hurry.

Yeah I am getting too old for my job! Takes me days to recuperate from some of these gigs.

Bez’s note absolutely cracking me up right now.

Just channeling some vaguely Whovian energy.

Get some rest! Yeah, I couldn't do that sort of shift myself, at probably any age :D

Yeah sorry again folks for being light on the postings. my brain is just mush after a few of those marathon long workdays.

Doin one more like that tomorrow too.

Hey Bez what does “Whovian” mean? I can’t figure it out. Thinking of the band.

Dr. Who. There's a very old episode where he leaves a note for Leonardo da Vinci and writes "THESE ARE FAKE" on some painting canvasses where a villain was planning to make da Vinci paint extra Mona Lisas.

Is that rando enough? :D

Ok cool. I love it.

I cracked up when Melira was like “what? How? Anyway...”

Thanks for keepin the quality of the posting up even while I’m gigging

I like reading the posts

Gigging here in my rural area means frog hunting. So I laughed when I thought that was what you were doing

Wow I never heard that before ! For me gigging is my work. Doin gigs. Haha.

Can Melira try making her own threats, including her own intimidation roll, or do we have to try a different tactic?

Well I did give Bez the advantage on the roll because of your assistance. But you can always see if something else touches a nerve.

Last night when I was falling asleep I was thinking about skill checks.

Do you think it’s good when I put spoilers behind DC’s?

You guys can also throw rolls that you think might be relevant , that seems good for PbP.

Folks.

I like spoilers behind DCs :D

Spoilers work - keeps the air of mystery also :)

Spoilers work for me, especially for checks like sense motive or perception. I will generally roll any dice that I think I should, but you can disregard any roll I make since I'm just doing it for the sake of expediency.

Howdy folks!

I have read the posts and I’m excited to get back to it but here’s the deal, I have a gig tomorow, Friday and also sun. All truly 16+ hour workdays.

I know it’s not ideal but just letting you know. I’ll pop in when I get a chance!

I want to do a well written out post for Rhendlyth’s reaction to Melira’s persuasion. I want to wait till I can focus on it on sat .

Harsh. Hang in there DMG!

All good, DMG!

I just realized that our game is being run by a book. What a strange turn of events.

No problem here, this has been a consistently high quality game so far.

Oh you mean like a hardcover? Haha I get it.

I am at a venue right now and just hopping on WiFi in the break room . See if I can update gameplay here.

Lol I’m really sorry folks as soon as I start typing someone inevitably walks in and asks me to do something. Be back later.

Let me know if I'm overdoing it on the italics. I can cut out my character's thoughts more later on, but for now it seems reasonable since things are complicated and I want to convey my character's perspective.

I think it is really good to include the interior monologue.

Thank you all for keeping the quality up even though I’m having a hard time getting on to post.

Post incoming.

Hopefully.

I was thinking, starting seperate was fine n all but we could cut scene the overland journey pretty soon and get eberyone together.

Sounds good to me.

I am okay with a cut scene
