My work is really busy at the moment and I certainly wouldn't want to do this game a dis-service by not giving it my all so I also vote for a hiatus

We haven't heard from her since before Christmas dude :(
Let's give her another few weeks I say. If we don't hear anything then toward the end of the month I'll start prepping to take over? If anyone else would like to then please let me know, I'm just offering because I'd like to see this through for Fiendish as well as for us actually. But equally, I am just as happy continuing as a player.
Let's keep our fingers crossed
Yeah I know Lenneth, this has been such a great, high-quality game that Im willing to wait for her a lot longer. But Id hate to see it just finish like this so its an option for people :) (Thank you for the vote of confidence :D)
Happy new year everyone!! So its been quite a while since we've heard from Fiendish which is completely out of character for her. Im not suggesting this just yet, but if we dont hear from her after a while longer, Id be happy to pick this up as GM? I think weve all enjoyed and would like to see it through to its conclusion
I assume no one has heard from Fiendish :(
I haven't. I asked in some other games we play together and they haven't heard from her either. Hopefully she has hit an unexpectedly busy period in work or is otherwise taken up with family commitments.
All good with me. Work has been unbelievably busy, lots of travelling that will probably continue up until Christmas but still trying to keep up regularly!
The halfling nods and replies to Lillith; We're always ready. I'll fly over and see what I can see. If I go high enough they may not even look up and see me. If they do, I'll circle down and beyond the hills so I don't lead any followers over here. Come on Sky, HA! He spurs his companion high into the thin air and approaches the fortress.
Flynn blows out his cheeks at the sight of the gathered horde. From ground level it is impressive, from on high it is truly terrifying. He can see hundreds of them swarming around the tower like ants around a honey pot. We can't fight our way through that and I don't think enough of them would follow me if I tried to distract them. I can't see any cultists in there though. Either these things have found their way here on their own or were led here and been left.
Feeling so much better in the air than underground, Flynn cirles the surrounding area looking for water sources or, if their luck is really in, some kind of game.
Flynn tries to catch a glimpse as well.
Flynn is astounded by how relieved he is upon seeing his best friend and contant companion. He rushes out into the canyon and throws his hands around Skyfall's neck, pressing his forehead to hers. She caws excitedly and rubs against him. Easy, easy. I know. I won't leave you again. Good gir l for keeping them safe, good girl... he coos and hushes. Once she has settled a little he turns to Whisper, as always finding it impossible to gauge her mood. He raises his hand to her cheek, smoothing the skin with his thumb and looking deeply into her eyes before pulling him to her into an embrace.
I don't want to rest here. Flynn says earnestly. I want to get out and find Sky. She can look after herself and she's probably holed up in a cave of her own somewhere. But I feel like I"m missing an arm or something the longer she's not with me. How much further does this place go? I'd like to scout ahead and see if I can find a way up and out.
Flynn hands off the longsword to Valex, and similarly does so for the other items to his companions. These should help us a lot. he says. Nice find Valex
That's what I thought Lenneth. I think you would benefit from it more than Flynn. For the most part he can go anywhere the party can whilst mounted because Sky is medium size too. That means he can benefit from the protection of reach and Flyby Attack. Chainmail = Lenneth
Those are my suggestions.
Happy Halloween! In game, that's a sweet haul. Who has a preference for what? Flynn already has a magic lance out in the wilderness somewhere with Skyfall so as nice as the longsword is, he wouldn't get best use out of it, especially since he can maximise the impact of a lance while mounted The chainmail is probably a big boost for Lenneth. Boots are great for maybe Valex or Lillith who would be in big trouble if grappled. Any other opinions.
I haven't felt anything like that since before the Harvest. Flynn muses. This stuff looks old... but powerful. he adds, hefting the longsword to test the weight.
Valex, you want some help? Flynn says, feeling somewhat bad that he is left to open the cache alone and face whatever possible danger that might pose. He moves up beside the scholar and says; Let me know what I need to do, if anything.
User Research/User Experience design. Basically I find out what's wrong with the things people use (specifically government services) and make them better :) Back now, catching up
Hey guys, grabbing 2 minutes just to let you know I'm unlikely to be able to post until tomorrow night as I am going to be travelling for work. Cheers.
Flynn shrugs and follows out. He certianly wasn;t going to go messing with a demon if he didn't need to
Hey! Flynn shouts from some distance away. Can you hear us? What are you doing here and who summoned you? He can feel his hands are slick with nervous sweat on the grip of his sword.
I don't know anything about demons. Flynn says warily. But everything I've heard suggests they aren't to be trusted. BUt with this kind of thing he defers to Lillith and Lenneth
How do we fight it Lill..? Flynn asks, his blade held before him as he turns slowly in a circle within the darkness.
Hey, anyone heard from Fiendish - everything ok?
Lots of things are precious now that we wouldn't have thought twice about before. Remember that gold in the desert? That's more money than I had ever seen in my life. But not even the entire lot of it could buy that vial of acid now, please don't spill it Feldus. Flynn adds with a wry smile.
Flynn asks Melo to join him for some extra muscle and proceeds to open the door, sword once again unsheathed
I don't know if I want to tangle with anything else in here. Flynn says warily. We couldn't be more clueless about what we might stir up. I vote to search the rest of this place and then comes back to it. He retreats back to Melo and his new companion who doesn't seem to look at the Ranger as through him. Yeah I won't lie, I'd rather be in the air than under the ground. Flynn admits to the druid. And Sky knows what she's doing, she'll be holed up out of the storm somewhere, probably doing a damned sight better than we are actually. Listen, don't even worry about earlier. It's not more than you'd have done for me if the roles were reversed, if we don't have eachother's backs we haven't got anything. he leans in and whispers then. Listen, I get that you've bonded with this creature, I lived with Skinchangers long enough to know how quick and strong that bond forms, but only with natural animals. This thing is strange. Do you really feel like we can trust it? You've got the soundest judgement when it comes to this kind of thing.
I don't understand any of this Valex. But if there's anything I can do to help just point me in the right direction. Flynn says, sheathing his sword and rolling up his sleeves ready for work
A weapon's cache? Flynn asks surprised. Finally some good news. Where would we find it?
Well that was.... definitive. Flynn says with approval.
Not wanting to give this thing any more opportunity to escape, Flynn runs forward and plunges his blade into it.
I'm getting pretty sick of this game of hide and seek... Flynn mutters as he charges off after Feldus, the rattusthrope's nose more reliable in this gloom than his own eyes.
Flynn unceremoniously hacks at the robed figure lying at his feet, tangled up in Lenneth's spiritual chains.
Flynn cries out but then grits his teeth and shouts; Eat this, you ugly bastard! and thrusts his blade two-handed into the rotting face.
Alright, enough of this! Flynn dashes forward and reaches up to grab a fistful of robe on the nearest.... person. Pulling it down toward him he tries to get a look at the face beneath the cowl and shouts; Who the Hell are you? His longsword quivers slightly in his hand.
Flynn grips his longsword all the more tightly and moves slightly north from the group. He has enocuntered enough spellcasters now to know that being bunched up is often more to their advantage than his allies'. You there! he shouts. Who are you?
After Valex checks it for traps and gives him the go ahead, Flynn shoves the eastern door open rapidly.
This place was built by the same people then? Flynn says, continuing to look warily into the corners and shadowy places. He runs his finger idly over the armor stands. It comes back black and dusty so he wipes it on his breeches and says; All this gone to ruin. Why couldn't they have mounted a defence during the Harvest? Why has all this been allowed to rot down here if they were set up to defend against something exactly like the Harvest?
I agree. If this was a Palatine Eye compound or something then they may be more here to help us than just Melo's new companion. But we can't check anything safely while they are running around laying traps everywhere. I say we press on quickly before they can dig themselves in.
Just letting you know I will be away for a couple of days starting tomorrow evening. Unlikely to post then until Sunday. Thanks! |
