Hiding.

I am hiding this one from my campaigns tab.
Feel free to ping me if we have any further activity.

I will check again when I am back from vacation but yep, it definitely seems we are dead in the water.

I feel like we are losing steam?

On a side note, I will be on vacation from the 31st July to the 11th September, so my posting will be sporadic at best. Feel free to bot me if needed.

Understood, then Bastonn does nothing either this round, apart from staying in cover.

So... What's up?

Bastonn stays behind cover, and waits for the goblins to take action. He also wants to allow his pack brother to get in place.

So I guess I swap my Initiative Card with the Goblins :)

Here!

I hope so, and that all is well with GM BrOp.

Lucky. Enjoy!!

Bastonn Awareness with boon: 1 = 1, hey that's a Dragon! I'm going to rule that in this situation, he was so aware that he will get a boon for when it rolls for initiative for Round 1. Bastonn, dont' forget to BOLD your Awareness skill in the Online Character Keeper (once you enter your PC, that is), so that you get an Advancement Roll on it when calculate experience.

My PC was already entered in the Character Keeper - is it not visible? Bolded, in any case ;)

Question to GM BrOp - would you like us to post regardless of Initiative order, or should we wait for our turn. It feels like this might be important in Dragonbane?

Another question - so if I understood correctly, it is enough to stand next to the canyon wall to be considered as having cover? (For example where Bastonn is right now?)

Bastonn watched Sir Makander and Archmaster Aodhan tend to the wounded man, noting the urgency in the air. He kept his spear and shield ready, alert for any signs of danger around them.

"We need to secure the area," he growled, nodding to Krisanna and Rex as they moved. "Stay sharp, everyone. We can't afford any surprises."

The poisoned arrow and the man's words about the dragon emperor were troubling. Bastonn scanned their surroundings, ensuring there were no immediate threats while the others examined the bundle. "I'll keep watch," he muttered, moving a bit ahead to stay vigilant against any approaching danger.

I'm not rolling anything until I'm told to.

I'm also a large fan of this way of roleplaying. My original gaming background is Warhammer Fantasy RP which by and large is not a system you actually want the dice to be involved, so roleplaying your way out of things was always the preferred method if you wanted to stay alive, sane, and unmutated. :P

However the irony is in this system, if we don't roll, we can't advance except by the GM's grace since we need those dragons and demons. Kind of a tricky one there on whether to call for rolls or not.

The way I see it, the DM can always roll for me if required and I did not roll. I like rolling in combat, but I really do not find I need to roll for anything else myself, unless the DM prompts me to do it.

Just my old grognard self, used to rolling behind the screen and adding modifiers my players were never even aware were relevant ;)

The more I play, the less I like 'proactive rolling' :P

Bastonn nodded at Sir Makander, acknowledging his concern. "Fire safety is important Sir, but right now Master Aodhan is right," he growled, urgency in his voice.

The soft whimper tugged at his instincts, reminding him of a vulnerable pup. "Stay alert and ready," he cautioned, drawing his spear and shield, and moving cautiously toward the sound, senses on alert. With a final glance to ensure the others were following, he advanced carefully around the bend, prepared for whatever they might find.

How would you all feel if I created a GMPC for this game? I would play a support-type of character, I think, and generally let you all take the lead. Extra people help keep momentum going, IMO.

Still traveling, so did not get back to this one GM BrOp - I am fine with you running with an GMPC of course :)

I have a few questions:
- Should we join the Discord? I kinda already did, but I can leave the server hehe
- Is it ok if I add a shield to my character. The pregen does not seem to have one. Also will need to read on the effects of shields :P
- Would also be cool to add perhaps an extra spear or two for throwing. Is that ok?
- Do you want us to stay on the rails, or is it ok to go off exploring, and act somewhat out of script?

Thanks!

@CucumberTree: Not sure if you are into it, but we could come from the same tribe/pack?

The shift in the air, thick with the scent of pine and damp earth, signaled their descent into Misty Vale. A low growl rumbled from him, his wolfkin instincts finely attuned to the wild's nuances. Anticipation welled within him for the promise of new beginnings in the Vale, though tempered by caution toward the shadows lurking within its mist.

Crouching by the rune-engraved stone, he brushed away the remaining snow with a clawed hand. "These ancient carvings speak of a civilization long past," he continued, acknowledging Krisanna and Archmaster Aodhan's discoveries with a nod. "They whisper tales of forgotten histories and unseen perils. This road is old and treacherous; we'll need to tread carefully."

Rising to his full height, Bastonn scanned the path ahead with a watchful gaze, his lupine features marked by an intense focus. "Predators might be near, especially with us low on food. We need to watch each other's backs."

Then he took the lead as usual, his senses sharp, ready for any threat that might come their way.

Hey everyone, I will be traveling with the family from tomorrow until the 21st of July. So my post might be... Sparse :)

Hi, Veniir's mage is here!

Will add stuff to the sheet tomorrow.

His curiosity got the best of him, so he's looking to catalogue the mist's comings and goings, and try to see if there's a pattern to it.

If Krisanna is up to it, they are old friends. He's kind of scared of Bastonn.

Any small morsel will be enough to make us best of friends hehe

Sounds good. I can see Aodhan using Krisanna for odd jobs, to procure hard to find items and ingredients. Was Aodhan’s trip planned and Krisanna slipped into his journey? Alternatively, did he find out Krisanna was abruptly leaving and used it as an excuse to leave?

@ Bastonn - maybe we met during the journey of the merchant caravan. Perhaps we encountered some hazard and overcame it with your help. Since then we have been tight as ticks (so to speak).

That sounds good to me :D

Bastonn is currently undergoing the initial stages of his Rite of Passage, as all Wolfkin do - he is supposed to travel the World, and understand what is his place in it.

Once he has done so, and he has proved he is able to survive by forging his own 'pack', he is allowed to return to his family. In the Returning ceremony, he is expected to share word of his travels and accomplishments, and also present those he now considers his Pack Brothers and Sisters.

Something like that :)

I would agree with us already knowing each other, and perhaps been traveling together for a while?

Here is Albion's alias ;)
