I'm in Roll20 now!
I am as well.
I have successfully logged into roll20 too
on roll 20!
Hi folks. I’m sorry to do this, but I’m going to need to bow out. It has nothing to do with this game, players, or GMing, but I find myself checking the PbP games less and less frequently these days. For someone who used to check the boards for new game posts every few minutes, it’s very strange to get to a place where I just realized I haven’t checked them in four days. I hope that if I return to the hobby, I’ll be able to get a chance to play with you fine folks again someday, and I wish you the best of luck and happy gaming.
Aww, sorry to see you go! If you get the hankering to get back into it and we're still going, we can find a way to fit you back in ^_^
Investigation content can seem a bit slow at times. Gameplay vs. play style is always a challenge for a GM when trying to accommodate multiple players. In the beginning it was a bit more spicy, role-play wise, do to Diego being a bit gruff. I have since toned it down a bit. I hope that wasn't what caused your interest to wane. Ultimately, I'm sorry to see you go. Safe travels and hope to see you around, its been fun.
Sorry to keep you all waiting on me. I've been very deep in the weeds with RL for the last few weeks. I'm trying to get caught up on everything here over the next couple of days, and I'll have a post in sometime today.
Sorry to see you go Jaymin. Take care, and maybe we'll see you around in the future.
I will have a post up in a few hours. I want to review the R/20 map before posting and can't access it from work. Damn I'm a bad employee.
I will post asap, been a really busy few days!
Once again I'm very sorry it's taking me so long to get posts up. Both April and early May have been just overwhelming. My workload is up and we transitioned back to working in the office part time. Since I work for the state and all such changes happen at all state offices together, it was a big change with many, many meetings and emails involved. On top of that many federal rules changed at the start of May as Covid-19 policies and procedures are replaced with 2+ year old versions from before. That meant many more meetings and emails.
Meetings would sometimes run so long over their scheduled slots they would completely swallow the meetings scheduled behind them, which would then have to be rescheduled. With all this going on we also still had our regular work to get done somehow. I also had a pet die. It's been a lot.
I think I'm mostly in the clear now with work and things will be returning to normal again. I'll be catching up on gameplay over the next two or three days.
I hope I haven't been too much trouble to wait for.
I'm so sorry to hear about your pet, take all the time you need. The games should be a welcome escape, not a source of anxiety.
No worries at all, I have also been crazy busy and not posting as often. I think that fact that you guys resurrected this game from the dead goes to show you're in it for the long haul, and there is no rush ^_^ I don't think the game will fizzle if we occasionally go a couple days without posts.
Visiting in-laws starting on Wed. Traveling Wed and next Monday so I doubt I will post then. I should be able to post at their house with little issue.
I'm very sorry for the long absence everyone. I was getting badly burned out by work especially, and life in general so I took the long holiday weekend to go to the beach and get away for a bit. That made coming back hard, and I just couldn't muster the energy to start back up with regular life. Took few days off for laying on the floor and staring at the ceiling, walking the dog a lot, eating a different kind of salad for every meal including breakfast, and spent one day doing nothing but laying on the couch and binging the entire 4th season of Stranger Things. In sum, avoiding everything.
I'm feeling better now so I'm in the process of getting caught up. Thank you for your patience.
That sounds like an amazing break from reality. Good for you!
binging the entire 4th season of Stranger Things.
I am so mad that I have to wait for July for the last two episodes!
Glad your break helped, burnout is no fun at all.
I'm pleased to say that tomorrow morning, I will be leaving for a trip to Italy with family for three weeks. I will check in when I can, but the days will be quite full. Please feel free to bot me to keep things moving. I'll talk to you all again soon!
Ciao, have fun.
Enjoy,
Enjoy! I'll keep you a bit in the background until needed so you can jump in any time you happen to find time.
GM: How would you like us to do HP on leveling?
What do you guys like? Average? I'm open to what the party at large wants.
I'm ok with either. I'm going to advance with average unless the group decides that rolling has a better flavor.
OK, Advancing as fighter.
Took fighter feat (Furious focus), first attack of each round doesn't take the negative from power attack.
Level 2 unlocks Bravery, +1 to will saves vs. fear.
Skills: +1 Perception, +1 Survival (New), +1 Climb, +1 Handle animal, +1 Profession (Soldier)
HP (Average) is now 25
Level 2 complete.
2nd Level Bolt Ace:
BAB +1
Fort, Ref +1
HP: +9 (Using Average)
Nimble: +1 Dodge to AC
Skills: +1 Acrobatics, Diplomacy, Heal, K Local, Perception, Sense Motive.
Background Skills: +1 Handle Animal, K Engineering.
I usually use half +1 since average is technically a half point. I know same difference.
Level of Swashbuckler
HP: 6 + 2 CON
Charmed Life 3/day; may add CHA to saves
FCB: +1/4
BAB +1
REF +1
Skills: Acrobatics +1, Escape artist +1, Intimidate +1, K: Local +1, Perception +1, Sense Motive +1

Sorry- busy week/weekend. I'm going to take 2nd level of slayer; I'll update my profile as quickly as possible.
+1 BAB
+9 hp (6 +2 con +1 fcb)
+1 fort
+1 ref
+1 to each of the skills I already have
slayer talent: combat style [two weapon fighting]
Diego will be buying the following before heading out.
1x Manacles 15gp
1x Lock (Simple) 20gp
2x rope hemp 5sp each
Ill update the character once the piazo boards settle down. Right now, things are wanky.
Once I know what we can and cannot requisition I will make a purchase list.
@Diego: surely we can take some manacles from the jail. I'm hoping for some rope as well.
I assume, at least for now, we will not be keeping any loot found on criminals. Therefore, I'm hoping to get some decent stuff requisitioned through the city to make up the difference.
Any mundane adventuring gear, weapons, ammo, or armor can be requisitioned on the town's tab no worries. You could also get your hands on a half dozen cure light wounds potions, though that will about tap out the town's supplies -- many were used after the goblin attack and those capable of making them have not had time to shore the supply back up again.
If there's something you want in particular let me know!
OK, then I will assume those items will be provided by the jail. I will include them in my Inventory.
I've been enjoying the banter so I've kinda left you guys to it, but whenever you're ready you can head out! Feels like you guys are ready but I didn't want to rush things if you're still preparing / planning / RPing.
I still need to find/jury-rig a small sized club and light shield for our mascot, then I’ll be ready.
Ready here.
Very sorry for my lack of posts, holiday travel was very taxing. I'll try to get caught up on the posts I missed and get one of mine up soon.
Sorry... I think I accidentally clicked the little [x] to stop getting notified of new posts for this game... I thought there hadn't been a post since Tuesday until just now when I went to check what we were waiting on and see if I could post an in character bump. You can imagine my surprise when I found 20-some new posts here. smh
I don't actually have time/energy right now to read 20-some posts and write one, but I'll get one up as early as possible tomorrow (please feel free to bot me in the meantime if necessary).
I'll post tomorrow if Alistair hasn't gotten around to it by then. =)
Orin's heals patched Diego up pretty well, but I couldn't remember how the heal skill worked (the joys of running games in 3 systems at once, lol) so I looked it up: Treat Deadly Wounds
Just wanted to point out it takes an hour to do it, so it's you guys' call on when you want to pause long enough to use it.
@Fern- I think I may have ninja’d you
edit- never mind, you noticed
I’ll be on vacation from this coming Sunday through the following Saturday. I should have reliable internet at the hotel and plan to post from my phone everyday (if there’s something to post to/about), but if I fall behind at all please feel free to bot me.
Will post this evening if Lief doesn't get around to it before then =)
Sorry, still catching up at work after vacation (plus my secretary is getting ready for maternity leave).
I know Lief has been busy, and still waiting on Orin, too. (No worries, life happens!) I'll bot them tomorrow morning if they don't get around to it by then to keep it moving.
Sorry- I'm just spending the round running back (since I spent last round running away), I thought I posted that already. I'll do it now.
You can 100% try to drown her, lol. For the sake of time, and given her small size, I am fine with ending initiative and you guys do what you want to do -- we could roll a dozen rounds of breath holding and her trying to escape and maybe succeeding and being recaptured, but I don't think any of us want to spend weeks doing drowning mechanics ;) So go for it and do whatever you want with her, story-wise.
I am playing RotRL irl and my group did this fight like 2 weeks ago...threw her in a sack and went full Hulk vs. Loki with her.
So fare I believe we have obtained the following loot. Let me know if I missed anything.
1. Masterwork? Ranseur (From statue with an intricate hooked headdress.)
2. Magical dagger that adjust to the size of the person holding it. (From quasit encounter)
3. 79 gold (From quasit encounter)
4. A small Tiera made of precious metals and stones. (From quasit encounter)
5. Masterwork? Longsword. (From three armed goblin.)
6. Masterwork? Hand axe. (From three armed goblin.)
7. Dagger that has been silvered. (From three armed goblin.)
8. A ragged book in a language that herts to look at. (From the levitation room.)
9. A scroll. (From the levitation room.)
10. A bottle of wine. (From the levitation room.)
11. A twisted iron wand (From the levitation room.)
12. A potion that is possibly of the healing kind. (Found from the Tsuto encounter.)
13. An intricately designed ring. (Found from the Tsuto encounter.)
14. A flute that’s been masterfully crafted. (Found from the Tsuto encounter.)
15. 10 platinum. (Found from the Tsuto encounter.)
16. 10 pouches of gold dust. (Found from the Tsuto encounter.)
17. 6 pouches of silver dust. (Found from the Tsuto encounter.)
18. Masterwork? Composite short bow. (Found from the Tsuto encounter.)
19. 20 arrows. (Found from the Tsuto encounter.)
It's not like they maintain an evidence locker, do we get to keep all of the stuff or will we have to turn some of it in?
That's a good question Alistair. If it is keepable loot, then we will need to get some things appraised and others identified.
