I did forget that detail, thanks. Let's just work that in. It's not like anyone else in that little group knows.
Hey, Polyfrequencies, how fast does your guy react to the call for scouts? Does he react?
Cut to...
Water drips in the sewer underneath Dockside. Faint laughter echoes off the cobbled walls, masking the relentless drip drip drip of the water.
In the cleverly hidden below-Dockside establishment called Den of Vice, <Poly's character> takes another deep drag off the opium pipe before replacing the pipe in it's holder -- the vice-like ass cheeks of the naked and stoned succubus at his side. She giggles uncontrollably. It grates enough on <Poly's character>'s nerves (even through the opium haze) that he entertains the idea of pulling on some clothing and seeing to this whole 'scouting' business... or perhaps he'll just go naked and armed with the pipe.
I wasn't sure if I was already in Threshold or if I was going to be found elsewhere.
That Den of Vice, though: that sounds awesome. I would like to go there, yes.
In truth, if he is in Threshold already, <Secret PC> would probably not find out about the call for scouts for a while and would assume that he wouldn't be particularly useful. But he'd try to show up eventually, just in case, sort of last minute.
That will dive tail with lady Sable nicely then. I'll give her a bit more to respond.
And Yash too. Do you want to do anything?
I'm putting the finishing touches on the PC's statblock, and then he will...appear.
Ta-da!
I have arrived!
Yeah!
Hey! I remember Erebus from a sad little fragment of a Strange Aeons game!
Hey Erebus, I might suggest a small change to your skills. Unless you and Choon arrived at a different arrangement, you've been in Threshold long enough to learn Canto - the official language of the city.
Lip-reading without knowing Canto is going to leave you with a lot of questions. Cheers!
Canto seems very useful! Switched Canto with Celestial.
And yes, this is Erebus' third campaign. In his second outing in an insane asylum, he met an interesting person that he only ever knew as "Short Hair," but she seemed like she would have become a cool person to get to know.
Then again, Sabelina seems like quite the personality.
Yeah, Signy is a rhinestone princess, but Sabelina is the Queen of Diamonds.
Folks, I'm going to be traveling tomorrow through Tuesday. I will try to keep posting but it may not work out. Bot me as needed. Cheers!
So, the start of the new school year is right on top of us here. I'm new to working in a school rather than a branch office and the frenzied pace has caught me by surprise. Things will settle down, but I don't know exactly how long that will take.
For safety's sake I'm going to say that I'll be very busy for the month of September. I'll try to keep up on posts, but if you need to bot me to keep things moving along.
Sounds good. Good luck!
Ok, we have entered Exploration mode. You can choose what to do among yourselves and make some rolls as you see fit. If I need anything more I'll ask. The time frame here is rather loose and you all can progress time almost as you will. I'll take your rolls and what you do and craft from there!
Also, I tend to wait for a couple people to react/post before I move on in this kind of mode. If several of the same kind of check is made, I'll usually interpret that as an assist unless the described activities are wildly different.
Works for me.
I like it!
Let's see if any of these abilities are useful ^_^
To be clear, heading to the road, or along the lake toward the maybe smoke/fog?
I'm flexible on that. I was thinking we parallel the road but move within the treeline for awhile (if possible with the horses) and then once we are past the top of the lake, we could head more in the direction of the smoke. But, again, I'm flexible on that if someone wants to try a different approach.
Along the lake to the smoke and fog.
That works.
I'm good with whatever. Obviously Sabelina isn't the woodsy type so she'll be happy enough to follow anyone who can navigate.
Sorry guys, been having a lot of issues with being able to login to Paizo, but it looks like everything is working again.
Hooray! Glad to see you back!
Glad to have you back!
Guys, should we have a lunch with Archie or move on? I'm good with either choice.
Slip won't overhear any side conversations, so I don't really have much to add until we get to Axebite.
Honestly I'm a little confused. Are we supposed to be turning back already to report back, or can we keep going to the town?
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
We basically have a walkie-talkie for reporting in. We can call home whenever... we just want to be sure no one (Archie) is eavesdropping.
Don't have time to go back and look. Thanks!
Sorry for being so slow. I'm out of town visiting my parents and there haven't been many chances for posting recently.
It's ok. I understand. Family can do that.
Hey guys, I haven't spoken directly with Slip's player but apparently he is in the midst of some personal stuff and is off the boards for the foreseeable future. It is believed he will be coming back at some point but there is no date on when that will be.
We may need to bot his character or send him back to Threshold or something.
Yes, I've heard the same thing. Maybe we need to send a message back at some point and Slip is our courier?
As for myself, sorry I've been so neglectful lately. I work in social services and I'm in a newish, busier job than previously. This time of year is peak, off the scales busy for us. The past few weeks and going forward for a couple more or so, I'm swamped. Things will calm down in January. Thanks for bearing with me.
No worries about Slip. I can write him into the background pretty easily.
And no worries for you either, Lady Sable. I understand busy. It's peak for me here too.
Since we've got a few folks busy or out... should we call a pause until after the holidays?
Guys? Should we call quits on this game?
It is looking that way.
Personally I've had a lot going on throughout the holidays but things are calming down a bit. I'm willing to continue but I'll go with the majority on this one.
I'm good. The holidays were crazy for me, but I'm also coming back online. I was actually planning a post for either this evening or tomorrow.
Ok, here we go! Time to get this show back on track!
Same with me, between work being so ramped up during the holidays and the holidays themselves, I've barely been around here since about Thanksgiving. I'm trying to get caught up now.
I'm traveling through Monday, so I may be slow to post or absent.
That's no problem.
Does anyone else have things to say?
I know I have been slow to post here lately, but I'm still all in on the game. I just needed to get through the holiday/winter work crisis to get my footing back along with a little more free time to work with.
That said, it looks like we're at 3 players active now. Mama Cookie isn't with us, and Poly hasn't been present on the boards anywhere at all in several months now. There was originally some second-hand talk that he was on a hiatus and would be back, but I'm starting to have my doubts at his point.
Do we want to think about finding a replacement for Erebus, or are we good?
Either way is fine with me.
