Wedding Amok!! A Hommlet Tsle [Temple of Elemental Evil] (Inactive)

Game Master Critzible

That's a really good question...

Was Rufus done talking to Rory about his mother?

No he will say something but nothing grand yet

QUOTE="Terion Stoutheart"]

As you guys move you pass a drunk young man whom many know is Elmo. He is resting on some rocks at the ens of the road to the Bailey.

When you pass you wonder if the earlier suggestion of securing help was a good one?

So are you going as a group to get stuff or you splitting up to do somethings? Your choice?

If I remember correctly Critz had mentioned that Elmo was supposed to be a good swordsman. I'd also wondered if we should hire the barbarian and monk and possibly the wizard back in the tavern?

Thx Boram!

At the same time I am trying to ascertain just how drunk he might be, since it is still morning, perhaps nearing lunch time, right?

I lament the fact that Remove Poison is 2nd level spell. Some of the everyday uses would be neat. Not to mention the commercial potential.

There is no guarantee that it would not make you throw up, just not drunk. it's coming out somehow right?

True. Dame as immunity to poison makes you immune to getting drunk

Ooh... I did not consider that option of "removal".

Ok so I have 2 to the Temple, and at least 1 to the Welcome Wench?

Are you purchasing a tent and supplies on the way?

In his own mind, my short friend, everyone agrees with that! Lol thieving bandits, trying to rob everyone of everything.

To those who have remained in town they have only been in town for about 7 years. They also import everything, unless someone sells stuff to them directly. Though few do.

Most try to buy locally anythinf they need. Though somethings you have to go to them for.

Hey Critzible, I'm not at all familiar with any of the D&D worlds, is there a chaotic good/neutral god of thieves that Boram may be interested in?

This world I am using has only one god. But also has like other philosophies, as well as demon/devil worship.

So mostly its the Goddess who is Goddess of All.

So Herala.... You openly state you are a demon? Or the offspring of one? :O

I would think given the complexity of feelings she has towards the former Sister and the fact she isn't exactly a wanted child... May have affected how she views herself in relation to the truth. At least the other orphans seemed normal growing up, but she never was

Team FYI, I will be traveling from early tomorrow until Monday, so my posting will be sparse.

I am remarkably dismayed to check and see that Jairdan has no tool proficiencies. (overly dramatic fall onto the nearest comfortable surface) His life is a lie!

Grab that sweet calligtaphers and cartographers tool kits

So...how many NPCs have we recruited so far? And anyone want to make a bet on how many survive?

Hmmm, were at two going for a third. Take a bet on how many survive? for how long? I've learned the hard way not to bet on anything surviving here on the boards...

I say.... both survive! Now the third we may be getting? Ehhh.

Lol, It is a Dungeon crawl. Lol.

From what I have seen so far, I would say they have as much chance to survive as we do. Maybe more :P

Im adapting from the original ToEE as well as sprinklinf in a few other side quests here ans there to keep things interesting.

Adulthood was puberty or thereabouts wasn't it? Considering the average lifespan for the time period (before magic) was thirty years, maybe fifty with the introduction of magic? I've seen it flux so many times, I've lost track.

Who is going to follpw Elmo to get the girl?

I fear if we wait for everyone to say they are getting up from the table and going to the girls house, we may be waiting for a bit.

Is there the possibility that if a majority of the characters, or a specific number of characters, included themselves in a general action that the whole party can move that direction?

How long would we wait for everyone to post 'I walk up the hall after the burglar?'

Agreed with Boram.

I get that. I was just hoping that I didnt misread or omit someones movements.

Often as I read a reply but cant answer. So I try to remember who is doing what. Especially if alot of people have replied.

So sad, I was trying not to split the party.

Edit: We should find out if folks just don't care enough to post what we are doing, or if the don't want to go speak to the girl and her family or what. Boram is not the person to be doing diplomacy rolls for us.

This time Terion will not diplomatize for you Boram. I'm sure we will find a way to make it a good scene anyway ;)

Regarding posting, these prolonged RP interactions can be hard in PbP. If everyone posts one sentence a day, a conversation can take months. It all depends what people are looking for. I am ok-ish with it, it doesn't demotivate me because I consider it a part of the game. But the conversation needs to be moving forward.

People sometimes tend to demotivate in these situations, posting less and less as the conversations and RP interactions proceed, but I have come to learn that if we simply keep with it, and post at least once a day, even a 'slow' conversation ends up being resolved in an 'acceptable' timeframe (in my opinion of course).

I try to met a once a day, just because I do find it helps as well. Sometimes I get busy with work, but I do try like I said for once a day, because it does flow better. And I'm greatly enjoying this game. It's awesome.

Ill have Elmo on first watch.

Elmo sits with Terion the Hero of Hommlet. The drunk seems to fight nodding off. As he sits thier a person in thick mail and helm sit sdoen beside him and begins to unpack its satchel of food.

Another similarly dressed does the same. On anorher log by the fire. He too unpacks. It is stange, but another joins.

Three armed and armored men, walked into our camp and started unpacking their food?

did any of the sleeping folk happen to get a perception check on the potential noise?

Visual only they made no sound

However as they have now spoken you can make Perception. Or tell me passive Perseption

Hey everyone, I will be traveling with the family from tomorrow until the 21st of July. My posting will be sparse or most likely, nonexistent ;)

So feel free to bot me as needed.

Jairdan what are you inspecting, the tunnels with Boram, the cavern, or the mysterious pile of discarded rock?

Whichever is closest. Probably the rock. Straying too far while people are exploring is a bad idea.

Good point, Ill give you a good discription. I would assume you have some Knowledge Nature skills? Or can determine minerals and such

Knowledge Nature. Yup! :)

Awesome Ill have something when I get home

Hey gang, I think the intention was great, but this game is not working out for me. The pace and disconnection between posts are killing my sense of involvement, immersion and continuity.

So I am stepping out, but of course wish you a great game going forward!

So any idea on which direction you wish to go? Aid these dwarves or ride out the storm and then leave back to the bandits

Jairdan has no clue beyond what Knowledge Nature would say about slimes.

well you can fight them. Even without Terion

So... How's everyone feeling?

So... How's everyone feeling?

How's everyone Feeling? I've no clue, but I'm doing ok. I try not to sandwich posts unless someone is specifically speaking to my character. Also, playing more tentatively with Boram since I'm not as familiar with the game mechanics. Honestly, what little of the mechanics I knew, I've forgotten.

I'm enjoying it very much to be honest. I just wish more posting time really lol

yeah i got behind do to an up tick in work

Just a heads up. I'm headed out of town this afternoon. My laptop is broken enough I can't take it with me, so I won't be back online/in games until sometime Sunday afternoon

Likewise. Until about the same time, also.

Coincidence? Unlikely…

<suspicious staring intensifies>

Lol that sucks. I have a hand me down PC and a phone. I know the pain
