Once we handle the guards in this bunk room, Posh will be needing to see that map! Ain’t no use having a cartographer on the team, if he doesn’t get to use his abilities.
I’m like Jack Black in Jumanji!

You'll get your chance, Jack. I'm sure we'll need the mighty cartographer before it's over. ;)

Surprisingly, all of the characters featured in the books are gnomes.
You are crushing this, Therenger.
GMT, how do you prefer we handle dice rolls? At a table, face to face, many GMs (myself included) prefer players not roll the dice until they're asked. But in PBP, the culture tends to be that players guess at when a roll is required and make it before the GM asks, to cut down on request/reply time. Is that OK with you?

Of course. I'll use it if I decide it applies.
Wow. 24 posts. Ugh. I'm so far behind.
Yep! Love the way the game is moving!

You're doing fine. It's not going to get away from you.
GMT, I don't want to accidentally get ahead of the narrative. Does the fartpocalypse happen when everyone's gathered near the door talking to Grumblejack, or while we're putting the prisoners in a cell?
By my read, everyone was in or very near the Mess Hall except for Dargon. No one is required to make saving throws in the mess.
LOL! Too funny! Glad I wasn't in a meeting when I read that!
Just to be clear, we've cleared out rooms 12, 13, 14, and 15, right?
Correct.
I'm dealing with a bad cold and not a lot of energy to post. Will keep things moving.
This still party order?
Ogre
Kid | Morthos
Dargon | Posh
Treesa | Rendylyn
If nothing else in gameplay I will move us out into the open air.
Except Dargon ran out and around to hide behind the chimney in the shadows. Woohoo nat 20.
Kid and Morthos before the Ogre, I'd say. Grumblejack has a 10' reach and can attack over their heads.
I agree. And did he take the greatsword? Seems like a better weapon for an ogre than a human sized longsword.
Okay, weird, my new posts notification is not working, or I did something. I see now there are several posts in Gameplay since yesterday.
Maybe your computer has a virus too! Hope you feel better soon.

This. For sure.
Hey, Therenger, get yourself to feeling better, bud. It stinks to do ANYTHING when you feel like crap. This game ain't going nowhere. Your health is first and foremost always. And obviously, that goes without saying.

“Grumblejack, my mountainous friend, you now serve a higher calling. Kindly collect as many of the... ahem... ‘gnomographic novellas’ as your mighty arms can carry. Posterity may require them. For reasons.”
"Your strength is needed to kill guards, not to carry gnome porn!"
LOL! Gnome porn! Hilarious!!!
Oh man, between Posh's "ahem" and "gnome porn", oh man, I'm just dying over here! LOL!!! So dang funny. I freaking love it. :D
I can't find any of our characters on the map. I think we've all been killed. Maybe it was a bomb.
Whatever it was, it's not my fault. :P
scroll to the right. You're all in the tower.
OH okay! I didn't see that tower. I was thinking it was going to be the one on the left.
Thanks!
Some say "gnome porn", others "tasteful gnudity".
@GM - Do you want the extra maps, town and area and such in Roll20 as handouts or something? Or just prepped as maps to battle on?
yanno, looking at the maps of Brandescar, the originally designers put no doorways from the wall into the towers or keeps. None.
Anyone else see that?
Posh saw it! He was not a fan of this course of action from the start!
Looks like there are stairs to the top. How tall is the tower compared to the wall?

I was wondering about it, but didn't think much of it. I just figured they were there because they were supposed to be. *shrugs* I was wondering how folks were supposed to get in and out of there, but just shrugged it off. Thinking it just got missed, I guess.
For the record, I wanted to try the front door also. Now, it probably is locked, but still, would've like to have given it a shot.
well I can maybe believe...maybe...that they dont go through the wardens tower. maybe. but to not have any access to the gatehouse from the walls either? or to any the various towers? Howd that guard get on the wall? hmmm?
Im more inclined to believe it was an oversight on behalf of the creators
Ladders
I'm referring to in and out of the gatehouse to the walls. There's no door. Not up and down between levels.
The guard passed through two #6 towers as he fled, so unless he is a ghost, we may safely assume there are wall-level openings that aren't shown on this map. Which towers have them? Are there any on the gatehouse? We won't know until we check, I suppose, since in addition to wall-level doors and/or a surrounding walkway, the tower we're in apparently lacks windows. And fireplaces. And a garderobe. (Most fantasy castles seem to.)
GMT, did we notice ground-level entrances on the 6 and 6a towers we passed?
The muddy path from the base of the #6 tower just NW of the warden's tower to the path to the warden's tower suggests there's an entrance there.
No need to over complicate. All of the towers have access to the wall, including the warden's tower. Same is true for the gate house.

Sorry, this cold still has me run down. Well move things along tomorrow.
The spellbook is of no use to this party beyond its value to sell.
I was asked about Mitra. According to the preview, House Darius worships Mitra above all so I'm rolling with that. It reads, "They have elevated the Shining Lord to the head of the pantheon." Not sure why FairyGM put in his restriction and left out Mitra. Perhaps it is explained in the full AP. I'll stick to the materials I have available. Having stated as much, it's certainly possible I missed something. I'm not a super into the details person.
I may have also failed to acknowledge that Grumblejack took the greatsword when offered, He carries that on one shoulder and the half pig over the other.

Yes, yes, but where is he carrying the collections of gnomish cultural literature?

Lol!
Working on it. One sec...
Edit: Um, never mind. That was actually a good move, DM. :)

Those are firmly clenched.
How do you players feel about ooc tactical discussions? Some folks prefer not to get advice, so I'd rather not offer any unless I get a green light.
I encourage this.
