Paying for, and getting through the bankruptcy proceeding will take 2 to 3 months before I reach a point where I can finally start saving money instead of watching it bleed through my fingers constantly. From there, hopefully things stabilize enough that I can have a functional emergency fund by the end of the year and reexamine my overall situation.
I'm going to have to have Dark stay behind again; real life is just swamping me right now, and with two jobs, it doesn't promise to get any better any time soon.
Still trying to get caught up with real life, hopefully by the end of the week, I can get a proper inventory done.
I'll get that looked at later today. Just coming off a very long weekend.
"Did I mention the monkeys? There are lot of them, and not the cute, pettable kind you find in the circus either."
"The Screaming Jungle; a lovely place. Sentient, angry plants; monkeys, monkeys, and more monkeys; and, lest I forget, the charming vacation spot that is the empire of Mzali, a land of savages and a mummified child god. I suggest we take a beach blanket, our swim shorts, and a royal sized armory."
Dark watches the whole scene with his usual taciturn expression, waiting for the time he is needed.
Dark offers his bed to Holmburg while he goes to the door to watch the hustle and bustle of the compound, trying to get his mind of of the strange creatures that the group will almost certainly have to end up dealing with.
"Whoever, or whatever, that "thing" and his allies are, they took everything of value on that subject. Even if we did have anything to work off of, I'm not sure we have the skills and knowledge needed to deal with the situation appropriately."
Dark keeps an eye out as Grusk searches the room, particularly watchful for scents of sulfur and the perfume from earlier.
Glad to not be at the review, Dark quickly turns his thoughts to the best way to approach his task. "Any ideas, mate? On the one hand, the direct approach would illicit the least amount of suspicion from the locals; on the other, if there are nasties about, we give up the advantage of surprise."
Finally got everything updated; I went with hunting companions instead of animal companion as the party is rather large as it is. I also took the skirmisher archetype instead of gaining access to magic because I felt it fit Dark better. I went with evil outsiders for the favored enemy. 5th level feat was Deflect Arrows. Attribute boost went to Dex.
"I would actually respectfully disagree. I doubt this rakshasa creature has any more need of Mr. Holmberg and likely took anything that it thought be of value. That thing doesn't seem like something would perpetually torment anyone without good reason, but rather seems willing to discard those he sees as having served their purpose as a child would discard a broken old toy. Besides which, his rooms are likely as safe as any place for him to go; if that creature were truly after him, no place would safe for very long." Dark points out quietly as he continues to keep all senses alert for the scent of sulfur.
How are HP handled again? It's been a while since I've dealt with them. Everything else is done, and I will work on getting the character sheet updated throughout the day.
"Do they smell of sulfur? Because I smell sulfur and sense someone watching us."
Almost have Dark leveled, just need to figure out a good second favored enemy.
I'll get something worked up in the next few days inbetween working two jobs and sleeping.
Since Dark is still at level 3, should I put him at level 5 or level 4?
"I doubt he's likely to be in much danger now, to be quite honest; that 'thing' has gotten what it wanted from him already, and I doubt anyone else knows or cares enough about this past empire to have much interest in him. As far as "Vankerman" is concerned, I doubt the captain could do much about it."
Dark remains quiet as his eyes never leave the strange unnatural tiger creature, ready to strike if need be.
Dark snarls as he watches this bestial creature, watching Blaze carefully, ready to strike quickly should it prove necessary.
Dark pulls back, but stays on the other side of the door, covering the approach from the hallway.
Dark moves quietly up the hallway to the corner, looking around it to make sure that nothing disturbs the groups while they deal with the other door.
Dark nods and looks to Blaze before turning and exiting.
"Doc's got a point. Depending on the specific wording of the contract and your orders, there may be a loophole that will spare all of us a great deal of headache." Dark stsys in a defensive position as he remains wary of the situation.
"Something has come up since then that has changed the situation slightly, and we need to get his side of the matter sooner rather than later." Dark speaks quietly, but also holds firm about his position.
Here as well.
Dark just remains quiet and watchful.
Dark just follows quietly, feeling a bit out of place in the city.
My apologies for the lack of posts. I am currently working two jobs for the duration of the holiday season, and between that and keeping up on various chores, it's a bit hard to find the energy some days to keep up on my pbp games as I would like to.
Dark quietly follows Grusk, perfectly happy to be away from the crowd.
I don't recall anything about leveling. You guys probably went to level 4 during my hiatus.
I don't think anyone claimed our group was known for our charming conversation.
Dark frowns at the loss of the trail, but enters the building behind the others cautiously and watching for signs of anything useful.
Coming back down, "They covered their trail up top. Our best bet may be to trace the distinct perfume I smelled back in the room; otherwise, perhaps search through the notes that remain for hints of anyone Holmburg may have been wary of." Dark looks at the others with a slightly questioning look that makes it clear that he can offer suggestions all day, but he really doesn't know how to proceed.
"Climbing ain't restricted to a single individual." Dark points out quietly as he finds a promising spot and heads up himself.
And to think that the worst I have to worry about is a unexpected tornado. At least hurricanes give ample warning.
Dark moves to aid Sentis as well.
"We should follow before the scent grows cold and muddied with people moving about."
"Still have it here somewhere, suppose now is as good a time as any." Dark will quickly drink the potion as he starts to examine the room not only with his eyes, but all of his senses.

So recently I've been really getting into the Traveller RPG (from Mongoose Publishing, not the other versions). I haven't really ever GMed it, and the one game I played in were just me and a friend doing a one shot sorta thing to see how the rules work out. What do you all think of the game, and would anybody be interested in either 1) GMing or 2) Playing with a sort of "First Time" GM |
