Dragon’s Demand

Game Master Mythicman19

I recreated the discussion thread, for some reason it did not work at all.

Thanks again for the invite. I should be able to create a profile and hedder for Zuriel tonight assuming I don’t get hit with overtime at work. For the time being, here is a copy of the character for review. (note) that I will clean the character up a lot once the profile is complete.

yeah, that was weird because i had a reply box, but nothing happened when i posted.

Sounds good! And yeah, I’m not entirely sure what happened. It showed up awe a discussion and even said it was there when I reset.

Feel free to pick a specific image you would like for a token for maps and put in the profile by the way. If not I can use what’s here for the alias, figured I would offer however.

Yay, off to fight a dragon! (Eventually.)

I sure hope our oracle of bones can heal...

@DM: Since it looks like our paladin has Diplomacy, would you mind if I dropped Ease of Faith and Jenise's rank in Diplomacy in favor of Knowledge (Nature)? Looks like we don't have any treehugger types in the party and it would be helpful to know what kind of animal or plant creatures we're facing.

Sure, you all are free to make some minor changes as you all finalize your characters. Id ask that by the time first posts are made that things are finalized. But take your time to get things ready, Monday is what I would like to start but isn’t a hard timeline.

As for cure wounds, he does have it. And with your Paladin you’ll get access to more healing as things go on.

Ok, here is Zuriel's profile and I am ok with you using the profiles image for the in game token.

Tokens added.

Looks good Zuriel! And oh much appreciated adding the tokens, I’ll have the starting post sometime tomorrow. I wanted to have a set up post before so you all could get any introductions out of the way, but I had to work all weekend.

No probalo. Slightly jealous of the avatar Zuriel picked. I only considered humans and half-elves my first time through the avatars (for this character), so I didn't see that one. Ah well. The token is good.

And here's the paladin. I think I was pretty happy with the crunch, but I'll review it once more.

I'm fine being the group diplomancer - just a word of warning that August isn't the most cunning type :)

Now remind me, how do I set the profile picture in roll20?

hello everyone as for healing... well i'm not that type of oracle, but i do have both inflicts and cures

I'm fine being the group diplomancer - just a word of warning that August isn't the most cunning type :)

Eh, neither is Jenise, although I didn't take any stat penalties for her. But given that this module takes place in a pretty wild area, I think we'll need Knowledge (Nature) more than a backup diplomat. Fortunately that happens to be the bloodline skill for Starsoul. :)

Changed Ease of Faith to Reactionary. It's always a good thing to get your color spray off before your allies charge in.

This picture is fine for Jenise's token.

Yay I felt this image looked fitting for an elven rogue. It was a bit challenging trying to come up with a back-story of an elf that pursued a life of crime. The token looks like a pissed-off elf to me and I suppose that's fitting for a disgruntled elf that got punted by his own people. Perhaps I should create an AKA (Angry-elf).

I’m not as familiar how to edit the actual profile picture but the token and character picture are the main things to make maps easier. But I have characters set up and will add tokens and what not later tomorrow most likely with more time after a very long weekend and a fun night of trick or treating with the little one.

I’ll get a post up tonight to start things off so you can all hop in when your set! Feel free to ask any questions if you have any.

As for alias pictures I think the one for Tristan fits well, especially considering the jewelry worn.

I made an alignment adjustment from NG to N. I believe this will better reflect his personality and background.

That seems reasonable considering the personality he has.

Just an update, created the thread and went to post seems a similar problem with the discussion is happening where I can’t post. :/

I’m gonna look into it tomorrow, and I’ll see what happens. Worst case of things prove to be to much of a pain I’ll simply create a new thread.

Hmm... well, I tried to post to add it to my active campaigns. It added to my list, but I don't see my post.

Yeah, for some reason posts aren’t displayed. Technology is such a pain at times.

Huh, what a weird problem. I'll keep an eye on this thread, give us a heads up when you either figure out what's wrong or move to a different game thread.

Will do! Worst case scenario by Friday if I can’t get a fix I’ll simply create a new thread. No point waiting forever.

Same issue still. Post doesn't appear, but the game was added to my campaign list.

So it’s been fixed! Appear my it was hidden but I couldn’t change it, with things now fixed try to ignore the multitude of check posts. But now we can get started!

hey! made a post, but it occurred to me i still need to make some minor purchases. i was going to grab one of the class kits and some generic adventuring gear. also, wanted to swap a cantrip for prestidigitation so i can stay clean.

edit: changes made.

That’s fine, sorry for not being earlier. That shouldn’t be to much of a problem for some more gear and a fun cantrip.

hmm... so am i understanding this right? while the rubble forms a ramp up to the second floor, there's no way to go any higher than that, so up is pointless? or did everything above the second floor collapse rather than just like a section of the [direction] wall?

From my understanding, most of the bottom floor and parts of the second floor are still in tact. My guess is, because of the rubble that fell from the prior existing floors, the bottom two floors are a bit obscured but likely explorable. It would help if someone had knowledge engineering and could safely plot a course through the brittle structure, or at least determine if its safe to enter.

yeah, i originally assumed we'd be going up because of the rubble ramp, but kobolds does suggest tunneling.

Nothing saying there isn't subbasement floors even without tunneling. That said, I agree. Kobolds likely means tunneling and traps. Then there is the unstable building possibly coming down on our heads. That could be a real threat. Guards might know if there are lower level floors.

Sorry busy weekend! But just to let you know the only part of the second floor still standing is the like 3/4 of the floor and one side wall. The bottom floor seems to have crumbled a bit but has more than the floor above. If there is a basement is anyone’s guess. But it’s possible, will wait for some more posts before continuing to develop the scene. Will also do a call for some know engineering checks that can give some more info, just wanted to let another reaction or so happen.

Is it just me, or is the character icon in my last gameplay post a smurf?

i, too, see a smurf. for your post here as well.

i guess it's a weirdly non-sequitur veterans' day thing?

I’ve seen this before, whenever you say the s word your avatar momentarily turns to a picture with one in it. I think it sometimes works for other s words too accidentally

smurf?

well, that's just smurftastic!

Lol and the virus spreads. Soon all will be Smurfs

Rrright, I'm pretty sure I didn't the s-word in the gameplay post :) Well, learned something new today...

you did not. i checked thoroughly. it's just a smurfstery.

Also just a note, it was 500 for all of you. Just to mention it.

so... just to be clear, "500 for all of [us]" to split?

Yeah, 500 split 5 ways between your group.

LoL, that was clear from the beginning. I was just imposing a little role-playing during the hiring process. Besides, who knows, she might feel a little charitable after the intentional confusion.

Yeah, I figured. Same here. Jenise grew up very poor, as in didn’t always have food to eat poor, and that leaves a mark even when someone is no longer in that situation. She’s lashing out because not having money scares her far more than kobolds do. And she’s not about to say that in front of strangers, especially since one of them obviously comes from money.

All good! I just wanted to clarify in case there was any confusion. Also to note, next week I will be away from wifi and my service may be spotty. Things may slow but I’ll be back to updating normally next Friday.

I am back to normal service. A brief stint with some national guard training. Is set so tomorrow I should post.

If any roleplay is wanted to do while the three of you go to grab your gear or while you wait the others return feel free to. Simply setting things up for once that is done.

FYI, I don't know if I'll be able to post tomorrow or Thursday. Tomorrow I have a doctor's appointment, two pies to bake, and cleaning to do. Thursday I'm helping host Thanksgiving.

Happy Turkey Day to everyone who celebrates!

Happy Turkey Day from me as well.

All good! I understand the holiday is coming up, post if your available and want to if not we can wait till Monday to get back into the swing of things.

Have a happy thanksgiving everyone!

Happy Turkey day as well, remember to Spatchcock or butterfly your Turkey for superior cooking
