Hello and welcome to the table!
Firstly, dot-and-delete over on the gameplay thread.
Secondly, please go fill out initiative and perception HERE, and marching order with PC tokens HERE.
Finally, go ahead and make any day-job rolls that you would like to.

Hey GM. Thanks for the invite!
Yulau probably needs to be in the middle of the group marching order. I’m a phone poster, so if someone could throw my token up on the slide that would be great.
I have played this one before, for the record, so I’ll keep that separate while we take it on!

Thanks for running!
@GM: The slides are Comment only at the moment--can you switch them to give us edit access?
I'll level Jilla up to L3 ASAP.

Will you be able to move your token around on the map as we go through combats?

GM PaleDim |

Now that we have all 6...
APL = (1+3+2+3+2+2)/6 = 13/6 => 2 (nearest whole number)
So we will be playing in the 1-2 sub-tier.

I am not. Usually I just announce my particular movement I wish to take during my action.

Hello everyone. Professor Masaendri here is a strict, rigid retired elven professor who thinks the world is populated by irresponsible, frustrating youngsters who need some tough love to get their acts together.
I have played this scenario in CORE a while back, so I'll allow the player(s) who haven't take the lead.

GM PaleDim |

3/6 checked in. Obviously we'll wait for the others before starting.

Profession (Merchant): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Ouch.

Oh, dear. Dryer than dust in the archives again, and all her students fell asleep or left mid-lecture.

GM PaleDim |

we still need two more check-ins. I'm going to PM those two players and make the introductory post in a moment. The intro Q&A should be reasonable time to complete the muster.
UPDATE Actually I see Kaseem here: you just didn't dot and delete (but that's okay). Okay, one more to go.

Guys, I'm very sorry, but I need a couple of days to get better. I caught a very bad cold, my head feels just like two balloons [cit.], I need some time to recovery. I'll try to write something Friday or Saturday, ok? Meanwhile I will get tested for COVID, hoping everything will be fine.

Ouch.
Kaseem will be most unhappy at his personal economic downturn!

GM PaleDim |

Sorry to hear Diaz. Take your time and get better! The game will be here when you're ready.

Sorry to go afk just as we've gotten started, but I have to go to a conference--back on Sunday.

GM PaleDim |

No worries. It's almost the weekend so I don't think that will be disruptive at all. I appreciate you letting us know!

![]() |

Hey y'all, sorry for the prolonged silence. I still feel very s@#@ty, I don't really have the strength to put into PbP. I'm sorry, but for now I have to pause all my games on the forum. Feel free to either kick me or bot me, either is fine. Tomorrow I'll finally get tested for COVID and I'll know what to do for this illness. Thank you for your understanding.

GM PaleDim |

I do hope this passes for you soon. I don't feel the need to kick you. It's as simple as: once we hit the 1/3 point and cross it I believe you can't get a chronicle. However we're not there yet so I'm not going to rush it and we'll see what we can do to work around your situation!

GM PaleDim |

BTW, to explain what probably felt a little rail-roady:
-You do NOT want to try the Koi in combat
-You can try again later

I was guessing by your OOC commentary on the results of the failed Diplomacy checks that we should *not* start combat with the koi.

Hi y'all, I'm feeling slightly better, and should be able to resume my duties as PC and GM toward the end of the week, I hope. Sorry again for all the troubles I've caused you, and thank you for your understanding.

Hi y'all, I should be able to return to the tables after this weekend. I hope you won't mind having me with you again, I know I've been sick for a very long time (I still don't feel completely fine, hopefully next week will be better). In any case I'll try to catch up and post on Monday, have a nice weekend y'all!

Take the time you need, Wilbert. Health is more important than PbP.
Looks like no on in our group is trained in Disable Device. Jilla, can you use that faction boon multiple times, or is it only once per scenario?

![]() |

Just once.

GM PaleDim |

Apologies for the delay. The house has been a little busy with some in my family being sick going into the weekend.
Smashing the door is certainly one option if we have no disable device in the party.

Every slashing/bludgeoning weapon is just a key in disguise...

GM PaleDim |

Apologies, I will continue to be a little slow with family members sick. I'm hoping to get back to one post a day, but they may be very late, and one or two may spill into the next day while this is going on.
Le sigh. Sickness.

I will be out of town from June 28th through July 4th. My posting may be unaffected, sporadic, or non-existent, depending on the internet situation in each place I'll be. Please bot me as needed.

Kaseem waits for someone who can read Sylvan to tell us what they say.
@Kaseem: In the Professor's last post, it stated that she'd translate it for the party.
I'll wait to post until tomorrow, so everyone has a chance to react before we get into the meaty stuff. While I don't remember the exact solution to the riddle, I have played this before and remember how we solved it.

Feel free to post because the only ones that make any sense are the ones we've 'seen' (the tooth pullers, the gathlains, the fish). I have zero clue what the hell this word salad is spewing on about.
If anyone is concerned about the module author's feelings/thoughts about negative comments, I unknowingly insulted an author's unoriginal writing in a thread where he was running the module. I told him to be original and he wouldn't have to worry about it.

We're having a family reunion, so I may not be able to post from Monday through Saturday. Feel free to bot me as needed.

GM PaleDim |

If Yulau and Kalak would like, they can still make day job rolls before I issue the chronicles.

At least Kaseem finally put a hit on something...
