Ok... so here it is; I don't want to leave you all hanging. I had an epic idea, I had all of the information going on behind the scenes, and I knew what was going to happen around any corner you could possibly turn around...
It's not there anymore. I don't remember where I was taking this, I don't know what the effects of your decision that you've made so far are the way I used to a few months ago.
I have this GREAT story that you guys helped to create. It played out like a television series in my head, and the last great thing was the guy kicking down the door and loudly pronouncing that the Emperor was dead. It has all the juice to an AMAZING fantasy based story, and I love it, but I can't do it anymore.
If one of you would like to take it over as your own, please know, you have my leave to do with this as you will.
I just don't have the creativity in me right now. I tried to muster it up recently for you guys, but it's just not there...
I'm sorry, and I feel like I've let you all down.
Building a usable map right now.
I've had some sh*t going on recently. kid's Mother just contacted out of the blue, her husband is in jail for beating the f*ck out of her. Just causing more slow downs to the process of getting this going again.
I am checking in daily, and we will get this rolling.
One more day. Got caught up in family drama tonight.
I think we're good to boot it up again!
Any questions/comments/concerns?
I will not be going atvit as hard as the past. Minimum two posts a week, but I'm going to be trying for once a day.
We'll hit play on Monday if we don't have any kinks to work out.
Let me see what I can do regarding gettingt he thread back to active status. I dont really want to lose the previous posts.
Anyone seen Matastrophic and DMRaven?
Alright!
I am here, I am ready, and I will be posting weekly (at minimum).
Are you guys ready? Any questiins before we kick off the dust?
Per Errata and updates: you have 1 week to update while i make sure everyone is present and ready!
Checking in!
Roll call, for all those still around. Are you ready to gear up and pick up? I know I've got reading and planning to do!
Personal Update: I have a roof, and a vehicle, and a damn good job! I'm still waiting on money to come in, but im no longer in The Sh*t.
I've got a trip my girlfriend planned to New Orleans in about 2 weeks, and in the meantime, I need to get my place organized and purchase a reliable computer. When I get back, I will be ready to resume with the game (pending that all of the players are ready as well)
If we need to hit a recruitment stage again, I can make a few PMs to the list that was available via the original recruitment. (I hope thats not the case)
Let me know what your statuses are ASAP, please. I'll be checking in by phone later this week.
OK... So I need to be honest with myself, and you guys about the situation I am in. I am homeless, I am jobless, I am without transportation while I am jobless, and I'm unable to reach reliable internet connection regularly.
I want to continue this game. I don't want to give up. I will have a home with internet in November. As such, I need to officially place this game on hiatus until then.
I will not be able to be present on the boards until I get this s$&$ handled, and I am truly sorry, but I need to be done with this unstable crap before I pick up the responsibility of running the game.
I WILL return. This game WILL go on... just not at this moment.
Well!
When it rains it pours. I've been in the hospital since yesterday. I found out my friend has terminal Gliobastoma. Saturday it was "months to live" Sunday morning it was "likely not past today". Dudes a fighter though, this morning he's still holding on... Though I think that's just because he was always so stubborn.
I'm still working on the stuff to get rolling. I've no intention of letting this game go.
I'll allow your viewing of her, so long as it's understood that you guys not meta-game. Maybe Piazo picks a part of it up! lol.
if life ran on hopes and dreams, I'd be a millionaire genius! lol.
I'm also creating the Princess's NPC character, since she seems to be a lasting major player.
Ok. I'm working on resuming tonight. I've had some family trouble and still don't have stable housing for myself. There is the other issues that plague my son that I am also responsible for, but as I said when I started, I will not be bowing out of running this game until it has reached a point of finality.
As per resuming, I will need to be able to link you guys to Google maps, though I believe that is simple. I will be giving you guys a map of the palace to explore at your discretion. I will be getting this up tonight, and we will be able to reume our break-neck posting speeds! haha!
OK! sorry its been a minute. I'm trying to get things figured out.
As soon as I got back, some s### happened and currently my living arrangements are fluid.
I will be resuming later this week, I'm thinking Friday, after I have a chance to refresh my memory.
Also, I'll be home and capable of proceeding in a few days.
Original ruling applies. Changes at this point interfere with current characters.
Ugh! It was the 10th level of Hell. Screaming children... fat, obnoxious, entitled, spoiled children...
I can't wait to get home. I've got another week now.
But seriously, I need a vacation from this vacating. Somewhere I can just sit and drink a beer and sleep all day.
"Starting life as a Mexican is like starting a game as a gnome... On an individual basis, I'm sure you can be really cool, but your racial predisposition provides an initial -5 to that "cool" score..."
There are so many LESS Mexicans here than at home... It's weird.
I'm in Anaheim tonight, I was trying to post, but the internet isn't cooperating,, so it'll have to wait.
Letting you guys know we'll be hitting Disney today, likely won't be posting again tonight, but after getting settled, I should be able to.
It's a pain driving all this way, but it's fun!
Yo! Wi-Fi in Vegas!
I'm going to Disney Land with my kiddo. Anaheim.
How you guys doing? It's been a super long drive from Denver to Vegas, and I've got another 6 to go tomorrow to L.A. I'm not going to post tonight, but I thought I should check in.
Okie dokie!
CRFaye is building a map on Google spreadsheet for me currently to see if this will work on my phone well enough to continue while I'm on vacation in California.
I'll be leaving later today, out of touch till Sunday (the 20th), then hopefully I'll be able to post when I'm in the hotels.
IF I'm unable to properly post/edit the google spreadsheet, or on the forum, we'll have to take a break till my return around the 31st.
Are you working those spoilers right?
{spoiler=title}all your information{/spoiler}
Replacing the {} with []
That's what I was going to use if you guys wanted one.
I'll be aa descript as possible. I wonder how easy gdrive spreadsheet is from the phone... Hmm! I guess we'll see soon... Maybe...
So! My Data is out on my phone until the 20th. I'll be posting via phone on this vacation, but it will definitely be spotty this weekend.
Question, do we want a "battle map" of the palace while we're there, or are descriptions ok with you guys?
engage teleporting and specify your targeted location, please. The public rooms to the palace are familiar, so is the courtyard outside.
No post tonight. Just too exhausted. Will update tomorrow.
Nev, please try to get profile working. I know you've tried multiple times, if you need help let me/us know.
I also know you pulled a 14 at works today, so no pressure, just a reminder.
Ok!
Sorry, was at RL d and d and been taking care of my Son recently. Having him full time now is surprisingly taxing on my schedule.
I haven't read the last 13 posts, but I'm on that as we speak.
Info for the next 2 weeks: from the 18th through the 31st, I'll be driving to California and back. I cannot guarantee that I'll have internet access, but will be posting as best I can.
Ok. Nev, something is wrong with your profile, please get your crunch re-posted before we continue.
No one knows why magic isn't working in the Palace.
Lex will be able to tell you that the Lion Blades who were present, for some reason, didn't put up as much of a fight as they were able to, which led to them being slain, except for their Leader.
The Princess manages to choke out a few sentence. "I need to know what's going on with my father, but I understand that I also need to be safe. Of they've removed... If they've removed the ulfen and lions, it's not safe in the palace."
Alright, give me a check who's going?
Kyra (disguised)
Argus
Lex
Val
Who else?
I thought I was going to be able to post tonight, unfortunately I'm not. I'm sorry. Kid stuff.
Sisenanna... Isn't that Val's sister who's minding his estate in Cheliax?
Also, consider very carefully, there actually hasn't been time to search and secure the entire palace, and Nev is quite correct in her observations. There is a reason why Val's Villa was chosen as a secret meeting place.
The princess is too stunned to give commands at this time, so she will do whatever you recommend is the best course of action.
Still stunned by the sudden revelation that her father was grievously injured, the Princess nods in agreement.
Blackwell turns to Lex, "you pick who's coming with you, Opilio and myself have to help get the streets under control. Once word of this gets around, there is bound to be a riot or two that need putting down."
Opilio looks in the room before heading out with his uncle, "A Shame zhat ze Rooks weren't in ze palace, I hear your fazher is skilled at thwarting these events."
I need an area on Forbiddence, in retro. This spell disallows teleportation or extra-planar movement and is. Permanent effect.
Arguably, most of that was me on multiple characters.
Twas midnight till 1am for me
Was an option open to you if you so choose. If not, no harm nor foul.
I'm also taking liberties with the equipment available/on the named NPCs. Tbeard, Commandodude, if you will be joining the scene as your alters, please PM me about the particular needs of the situation.
Something of note, if I forgot it on earlier posts, the Black Widows are linked to Ustalav some how
Prepare for transportation tomorow(irl) once Blackwell has decided this is the most secure location and he knows exactly where the Princess is, his next priority is the Emperor.
I expect that this will split the party, but as said before this game began, large combat isn't likely to happen if you aren't prepared.
Gabby can hear the conversation from behind the door.
#PFAddict
The Princess has a look of dread on her face, but remains speechless.
500 yards. 10 minutes by carriage because of traffic, about that by off.
I'll do a head count next time I arm, deploy, and drop a bomb.
Sorry, I get over zealous when s#$* goes down lol.
Your cohorts got the basics for the intrusion, though the servants are scared s+%&less as they were the first to respond, and being that this was a protected meeting, I assumed they'd act aggressively initially. Anyone making a DC 12 spot can see both of the intruders are in city guard uniforms.
Again... Sorry sorry sorry.
Phone still dying though.
Scratch... You've got 2 rounds.
No time, they've secured the entrance within seconds... They're good. Most of the house servants are on the ground with hands behind their heads.
Though, it's obvious now that they don't care what was happening in the room.
More tomorrow! Phone dying!
Muahahahaha!
The bell to the Villa chimes loudly above the growing tension in the protected room. Then you hear a loud knock as though the main doors have been thrown open.
I lul'd a bit at you commando!
I'm going to be posting shortly, hopefully my soon-dead phone will pull through.
