On you rush, and a couple of blocks away, a wing of of Sable Company griffon riders swoops overhead, angling toward Castle Korvosa at a breakneck pace. One of the badly wounded mounts rains blood down on the street around you, before it succumbs and crashes headlong into a statue, the griffon's end coming in the crunching of bone and the toppling of the statue - of the now dead King, fittingly. The others in the flight do not even pause to check on their fallen ally.
The rider gasps and rolls on the ground, his leg shattered. Across the street, a group of young men - likely looters - stop, and eye the Sable marine, before gathering their courage and starting towards the wounded guard...
Just wanted to signal boost this in case it was missed. You are NOT under any obligation to help of course, and that is totally fine!
Aye aye aye. Player me wants to. PC doesn't really want to risk his neck. Both of us see it as a golden opportunity for someone to owe us a lot ...
I'd say let's try and help the dude. *If* at least someone else also wants to :)
Lorick's player is on vacation till Wednesday, might not be out for all of next week depending on work travel!
Considering we're not hurt Lorick's not going to make a fuss either way. On one hand the griffon riders aren't friends, on the other, he's got a guilty conscience he'd like to quiet.
Have fun on vacation!
We have one yes for intervening, one maybe. If no one else has strong opinions we'll skip the intervention.
Work is bananas so y'all have time to chime in. Apologies, I'm pretty buried at the moment.
I'm torn on this, but I think Annelise is *trying* to do better (paladin, now). She won't want to see an injured person torn apart by the mob.
OK, that's some consensus!
Sorry for the delay, this week should not be so bananas!
I suppose anyone who's worked regular with Annelise would know this is well out of character for her, btw.
Going to be traveling the next couple of days, will be around Tuesday.
Should be back to posting Tuesday as well
Sia and Lorick are keeping their relationship as secret as possible. I don't mind Cathy having figured it out though!
Oop, my bad! She does have a habit of being where she's not supposed to, unfortunately ;)
I hadndnt' realised that either, so I'm glad you said before I posted anytihng :)
All, so sorry. I'm having a bit of a crisis involving a broken 1987 camper van and being in an area without specialist mechanics, coupled with no internet at the place I'm at. I don't think I'm going to be able to catch up until next week. So sorry!
I feel you... A week ago our rented RV failed us and we had to leave it to the side of the road in the middle of nowhere.
Wow you van is older than I am! I hope you get it all fixed soon.
Sadly not older than me. Focus on the trip and return safe with the details! Sounds like a heck of a story.
That sounds like a bother. I hope it works out as well as it can!
Also sub-van aged, though not terribly far :D
Life still giving me a kicking at the moment. The mechanics in St. George, Utah, couldn't figure out the issue with our van. We're having Ron Burgundy (our van) towed to Las Vegas where there's a VW specialist.
We rented a car to get back to San Diego, which lost an under-car plate, causing us to get further waylaid, this time in the CA desert <cry/laugh emoji>. Hertz (don't rent a car from them!) was not helpful and presented us with one option (take a cab from a nearby town to Las Vegas to get another car) - the nearest town we broke down by didn't have a cab company that was willing to do this. We had a tow truck totally remove the plate, threw it in the back of the car, and continued on. Now we're fighting with Hertz about billing.
And now my spouse has Covid, so I'm currently on childcare duty while she quarantines and my work piles up (more). We've paid for this vacation, y'all!
I just can't see being able to get caught up on games before next week. Sorry again for the extended delay.
:(
Taek the tiem you need - I'm not going anywhere.
oh, that sucks :(
I hope you'll dodge the Covid, and everything will turn out for the better.
And no need to apologize. The game can wait
Digging through work, hoping to get things resumed by Friday at the latest.
Alright, thanks for your patience.
I dodged the Covid, my spouse's quarantine and previous infection/immunity probably did the trick.
Our van is in Las Vegas and being looked at. Our daughter started TK and she's cranky because she doesn't like getting up early. My next tenure file is coming along and due on Tuesday (and then one more after this one and I've either got tenure or have to look for a job :)
So, things should start resuming to normal. Thanks again for your grace.
Taht sounds liek good news all round - I'm glad things are geting better! I hope your daughter ajusts to the new way things are.
We've had a mold outbreak in our archives, which is very bad when you are the department head of an archives. So sorry, but I am again rolling with more than I can deal with. Hope to be back soon.
Not much in the way of posting these last couple of days so I'll move us forward and away from the ship ASAP.

Hi all - sorry, I've got to give this game up. Things keep coming at me and I don't have bandwith at the moment. I apologize for not being able to keep things going, and I appreciate y'all's participation and enjoyed your PCs.
Good luck/good gaming! My apologies again for my RL issues impacting things, and thank you for your awesome writing and PCs!
Having done the same recently I completely understand. Best of luck with everything and let us know if you feel the itch again.
Aight! First and foremost thanks for letting us know. And for the ride, it was short but sweet :)
I hope your rl issues work out as well as they can. And see ya all around the site, maybe and hopefully.
No worries! RL tends to come in the way of gaming sometimes :)
Hope your issues will settle down eventually.
And thanks for the game so far, it was a very nice start.
Perhaps some day, somewhere, we'll join up for a another game. Let us know if you'll be returning to the games.
I understand completely, and I hope things get better for you soon. I've hugely enjoyed your creative take on this game and I'm sorry not to see the journey through but so it goes.
All the best.
Waht the others said - a great game, cut too short. I hope the RL issues get sorted and you have time for fun things again very soon :)
Thanks all - I'll ping everyone if my bandwidth opens up enough to take this on. Sorry again! I'll mark this campaign inactive tomorrow.
