Happy New Year to you all, too :)

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, everyone! :) You too! :)
I'm so sorry! Please let us know if we can do anything to help; meanwhile, you and your family are in our prayers.
I have a way up, myself with magic, and we can help each other like we used to on the wormwood. Horatio glances at Dhaavan. "I'm not too sure about climbing up there until we know what caused the landslide; after all, we have seen some big creatures on this island - who knows what's lurking up there? But I'll do it if it's our only option, though." "But if what you're saying is right and you can get to the top with magic, then why shouldn't we simply try the trick with the magical bag and the extra-dimensional space while you just ferry us to the top?" "Or, if that's no good we could use a rope to rig a sling and just have the good Pilot-Major - if she's willing - lift those up one at a time the to summit. "Don't get me wrong, it does seem a bit... unconventional - but if a person is sitting in a sling held in the ropes they should be able to cast spells and use most range weapons even while being lifted." "Plus, we know she can do it - remember; the Pilot-Major has Muleback Cords. I have a hunch that lifting a person even in high winds should be a breeze," he adds with a grin.
The cliffs are a little more sheer than in the picture though. Also you went over the bridge to the southeast and I moved your avtars to the right spot. Horatio studies the cliff for a long time. "Well, I'm still not sure why we can't just walk a little past where the rock slide is blocking the trail and then, climb up around the rock slide and get back on the trail above it - after all, the rock slide itself couldn't have obliterated the entire trail all the way to the top. Of course, I may be wrong; after all, the entire ancient road which stretches all the way to the summit may be obliterated completely, though, to be fair, I'm still a little uncertain on details as I haven't heard what the scout has reported," he says then looks at Dhaavan for the details. While he waits, he offer another idea. "On the other hand, if climbing over rocks is going to be a real issue then I suppose we could pull out that magical, portable chamber that we could crawl into and sleep in; then we could all crawl in it, then - while we're all inside - if the Pilot-Major is willing, of course - she could just carry the sack that holds the chamber and whisk us all to the top of the cliff while we're inside the sack - simple as pie," he says with a shrug and a glance at Rain. Amen-set merely lets out an audible sigh and rolls her eyes at that suggestion. "Huh! Being carried about in a sack like naught but viands ... bah," she mutters, but says no more on the subject.
not jack...Dhaavan mumbles. He takes his shoulder raven, mumbles a bit and the creature vanishes from sight and flies straight up, telepathically telling Dhaavan what it sees Horatio watches the raven ascend and waits to see what will happen next. Variel stares up at the cliff in front of them. I suppose Rain, do you think you could fly us up again or should we try to find a way around. We would have to leave the pat to create our own switchback to traverse up the mountain to do so however. He turns a glance at Variel. "That sounds like a good plan; but shouldn't we wait to get the raven's report before making our next move? I mean, whatever caused the blockage may be at the summit. It could be dangerous for Rain to fly up alone. Anyway, it's just a suggestion..."
You stand before a 500 foot wall of solid stone, what now? Horatio peers up at the cliff wall.
Glancing around, he studies the terrain and then walks back a bit, roughly fifty to sixty feet back to peer up at the cliffs. He glances at Amen-set thoughtfully, his eyes flicking to Horus and he thinks for a moment about sending them aloft to scout. Then he disregards this and turns to Rain and Dhaavan. "Either of you two want to try scouting this? We could send Jack; or, if you prefer, Pilot-Major, you could go, too? Either way; I'd like to know why the road won't let us go up the cliffs as this makes no sense whatsoever..." he adds with a flat voice.
I am sure that should stealth be necessary Jiro I would call upon you. However we are going to be out in the open for all to see. I will not risk another for something I myself would not do. Horatio eyes the entire conversation silently, but when the order is finally decided he flicks the ash of his cheroot. "Good; so basically you, Rain, and Amen-set go - she'll hang back with you on the other side to offer cover. Then Rain can come get the rest of us in whatever order needs to get done. Then she'll bring you back when there's only two left, leave you here with the second to last, swap out you for one of the two left - meanwhile, Amen-set will come back to offer you some cover in a pinch as you'll eventually be on the last to get moved and she can offer you some back-up, if you need it - then Rain comes back, picks you up and you're on the other side, no problem." He then takes another long drag from his smoke and as its clenched between his teeth he mutters "I love it when a plan comes together..."
Feel better GM and Rain! Also, if there's anything we can do to help, please let us know.
Horus takes off and vanishes into the sun, riding the thermals coming off of the cliff to gain height and see around. She doesn't send any calls alerting to danger but the jungle is dense and thick and the marshy area is fairly foggy so it's difficult for her to see much in those areas. As Horus alights on Amen-set's arm she quickly communicates to the others what she has found. Horatio glances at the marshy area and frowns at the bugs, but is not overly vexed by them. The smoke from the cheroot is not a coincidence; it hangs thick in the air as he walks the smoke acts as a slight buffer from the flying bloodsuckers. "When we finish claiming this island we'll drain the swamp," he says then continues to move forward he says, wondering if the mosquitoes are the Anopheles variety. When they get to the bridge Horatio prepares to advance, then studies it thoughtfully. "There are large sections that are not structurally sound and could give way at any moment. I figure there's a way across and that it will hold all our weight but the chances that something will go wrong with the structure while we're on it at are about one in four, maybe one in two..." he adds. He glances at Amen-set and raises an eyebrow at her. She nods and takes a rope out of her pack and links it to her waist and then tosses the length of it to him. He then turns and ties it around his own waist and he turns to the person behind him and offers it to them. "Amen-set will stay slightly above the bridge; she can fly a bit, I'll do what I can to guide her from what I see on the bridge about any damage. If the bridge cracks or breaks, she'll be ahead of it and able to help me from falling - if whoever is behind me can also help out, just in case?" he says, looking at the others behind him and curious to know who might be able to help with the rope. As soon as someone takes the other side of the rope he'll advance.
Actually, you can't Take 10 on a Knowledge Check. Horatio can, though; but only because of a special ability he has.
Looking to Amen, she added, "And as Variel stated, little sister, the others know their duties and do no require my direction. Each officer has seen to those they have charge of, and, I am certain Flynn has advised his gunners and alike to be on the ready." Amen-set looks at Horatio who remains on the edge of the rise leading to the path. He seems to be crouched down and peering at the water, his eyes gauging the depth and thinking of something, but he says nothing. She turns to Rain. "Aye..." she says somewhat slowly, as if unsure if Horatio did in fact do that, or what exactly he did do, but she does not elaborate at this time. Instead, she nods her head at Rain courteously and then looks back at Horus and wonders what he may see. Variel hitches his pack higher on his back and clears his cutlass it's scabbard. After Horus gives a brief scout let's be on our way. Horatio turns his eyes from the ship and the bay to look at Horus flying through the air and then turns his gaze to note Amen-set watching the bird and waiting for its return. Looking back at her companions, Rain asked quietly, "The bridge looks in disrepair. Those with knowledge of such structures, please determine if it can be crossed or if we have to find another way over." Horatio walks over to the company and looks at the bridge as well, as if considering it. "I do not know a great deal about such constructs but I've learned a thing or two in my time. Allow me to give it a look, Lady Rain." He then moves nearer to it to examine it more closely. Horatio turns his gaze from the bridge. He looks at Rain for a brief moment, then Rajah. Horatio takes another drag on his smoke and looks at Amen-set for a long moment, who is still watching Horus, then he gives her a somewhat cynical smile which she seems to notice but ignore. "You should recall Horus. If there were any real dangers out there, doubtless we would have been informed by now," he says to her.
He then turns to the others. "The bridge is old, but to my mind it's solid enough - at least, it appears so. In any case, I'm going to cross it," he says, then strides forward to the bridge and begins to cross it.
Isn't Adular... dead? Or am I thinking of someone else? I know there was someone murdered pretty gruesomely and I thought it was him but I could be thinking of another character. I tend to forget things so it's highly possible I could be wrong. You are indeed right! I meant to write "Rajah" - don't know why I wrote Adular, I think I was just tired when I wrote that. But yeah - Horatio meant to be speaking to you :)
Horatio nods at the orders. "Right," he says after a moment. "In which case I guess we set the deck watch and rest." "Wake me up when we're ready to move forward. If anyone wants me, I'll be in my bunk.." he adds, then walks to the hatch and heads below. Amen-set watches him for a moment with a worried frown, then glances at Rain and starts to say something to her, but then she closes her mouth and turns and hurries below after Horatio clearly eager to talk to him about something.
Cutting his eyes from left to right, he double checks his surroundings and surely enough finds himself back on the ship. " Oh, by the by, is Horatio with us?" he asks, looking around a moment. Turning from the quarterdeck behind the gate which had opened Horatio stares at you. ”Aye, I am here,” he says slowly, as if he is distracted by some dark or mysterious thoughts. He glances at the everyone, almost suspiciously, but he is quickly startled from the examination as Amen-set rushes up to him and – somewhat impulsively – embraces him. He seems startled at her reaction, but does not say anything but merely holds her as he looks past her to the rest of you. ”So – I’m guessing what happened wasn’t a dream?” he says, then glances at the rest of you. Amen-set pulls back from him and shakes her head. ”If it was a dream then we all dreamed the same; I deem,” she says, then glances at the others to confirm this ”yet it is a truth that thy were absent from it, at least in my mind…” she adds. Horatio looks at her for a moment, then the rest of you. ”Well, I can say this; I have no idea what happened to you all, but I know that none of you were there in my journey, or vision, or whatever it was…” he says as he wipes his hand over his face, as if to clear it. He glances at the ship, the shore, then the rest of you and seems to frown as he thinks a moment. ”When I got there I thought it might be some damnable trick of that stone we’re trying to find. Wasn’t it possessed with some bewitchment of the mind or some such devilry? I mean, it's called the “Dreamstone”, right? That can't be a coincidence... Perhaps we all endured some sort of enchantment as we draw nearer to it…” he says, but then shrugs and glances at Adular. ”Oye, Padre, you mind checking on us now and in the morning to see if there are no lingering effects?” Then he glances at the rest of you. ”That said; we were a few hours from the bay we were to anchor in. I assume we’re still headed there…” He turns to Rain and Variel. ”Well? What orders, then?” he asks the Captain, and the Pilot-Major, waiting to see what the plans were for sailing as they had only a short while until sunset.
hey flynn, do you have an idea on how much longer you will need? I just started reading through and I like what you did. GM – the plan was for them to get information and find allies, if any. Depending on which allies they find (if any) will affect their chances of success in the “big battle” coming up. Think of the time at the tavern as a micro-version of the point system you did in the big combat in the Neverwinter Nights game we played with Jae. Basically, the more points they got, the better their chances on the water – as, theoretically, there will be a battle in which those good at sailing will be very helpful to this cause. As for the time to finish? To be honest; I’m not sure. As it stands, it’s kind of up to the players. Ironically I had even thought with as busy as you probably were that you’d want more free time, and possibly even tag in as temporary PC in the fight (or NPC) just to have some downtime for a bit longer (especially as – from what I’ve seen – your new son is either breathing fire or making speeches at the White House? That’s one impressive baby :D However, I’d still like to talk to you soon about details, when you get a chance. Please let me know what’s up regarding that; I’d appreciate it!
Hey guys - sorry for the delay; I've been having some rough times at work and my health - I'll have the breakdown/summary of how the tavern goes down tomorrow. If you have any last minute things you'd like addressed, toss them up - tomorrow I finish the loose ends and you find out who among the patrons will aid you on the big showdown; who will ignore you, and - perhaps - those who may do something less savory than ignoring you... see you tomorrow and sorry for the delay!
Actually, we are still doing the other adventure. If you have time, I'd like to talk to you about it - just let me know when would be good for you. Thanks!
Thank you all for your support; I really appreciate it. I'm still waiting on the results of the X-Ray's, but I'm hoping the condition isn't serious. For now I'm just stuck on the antibiotics, clinical steroids for the lungs, and some other things. Here's hoping it gets squared away soon. Thank you so much for being so patient with me. I just want to reiterate that I am committed to seeing this game through so bear with me a bit longer and good things will be coming. Tell you what, GM - why don't you and I try chatting sometime about what your plans are specifically. As it stands, I've written a lot of stuff for these guys and it will all have to be scrapped completely if we jump back into your game quickly. I kind of would like to chat with you via a time schedule on what's going on, if that's alright with you? Okay, that's all for now. Have a good night.
My apologies for not posting sooner. It seems my medical condition over the past few weeks has worsened and now it may either be bronchitis or pneumonia - I won't know more until after the X-Rays are done on my lungs; but the medicine they have given me has made me very tired and - unfortunately - I was too tired to post last night. I will do more to post soon and I'm sorry for the delay.
I just didn't want to butt in where not welcome is all... It's not for lack of wanting to take on the side quest... I guess just feeling a little lost and sidelined. no disrespect intended, either to you or the acting GM. Jiro - every single situation in that room I described was written for at least one PC to participate in - this specifically and completely included you. This specifically included the scene with the people who spoke the Minkai language - that was literally written for you. The fact that Rain went with Amen-set was because Amen-set has a special connection to Rain, it was logical and reasonable for Amen-set to call on Rain as Amen-set likes Rain and wants to be with Rain (her liking Rain does not mean she dislikes you, though). Further, I assumed it was also logical (for example) for Variel to attempt to gather information from the Elf and Human outriders, Rajah from the guy with the Aldroi dueling sword (or the goblin outriders); Dhaavan from the Yuan-Ti Dancing girl (or the Tiefling or the goblin outriders for example); Rain from potentially the Sylph/Hobbits or Elven Outriders (for example); and for you to gather information from the people from Minkai (or whatever any of you decide to investigate, of course; though I wrote the Minkai hook for you personally, but you're free to explore whatever you'd like). You have now 4 days to solve a quest in which the implications will effect you now, but also potentially in The Shackles. If players want to ignore that or write that they're going to sleep, that is their choice, unfortunately. I am glad you decided to re-think that, especially given how much I've worked and written about this part. Meanwhile, while Rajah is trying to gather information, too, from what it seems like to me Rain is doing a hell of a job in carrying the game at this point (including even acting beyond what her character would typically do just to gather information). Please keep that in mind when you write your responses to her on the Discussion Thread. Thank you.
With Rajah and Jiro circulating among the tavern folk, did they learn anything there while Rain and Variel questioned the wounded man? At this point I saw no questions so I can't answer anything as I don't know what they want to know, unfortunately. I'll wait until tonight and I'll see what happens before writing a response, though. Have a good day!
I was actually curious about that myself. How/when we're suppose to return to the Shackles game. No doubt you'll return when Destiny calls you... ;)
I think I sent you that via IM...
Curious to see what you all have planned for tomorrow :)
Thanks, guys, for your well-wishes, I appreciate them! DM Immortal - tell your son Dracarys... he'll know what to do ;)
Apologies for my delay; I've been very sick lately and had some personal issues which prevented me from writing the last 36 hours and the next chapter requires a bit of description. I'll put more on it later tonight; right now I just need to sleep for a little bit, though. See you all soon!
Dain GM: Rain said she'd follow by air the two riders (Nicolae and Robb?) who went ahead to get to the castle sooner and send more men out to the group. That's not doable? It's totally doable - you'd have to move a bit fast to catch them at first; but eventually you'd outpace them if you kept at it for the bulk of the day. Based on Christopher's estimation of your fly speed, you'd wager you could get to the castle in about 6 hours - or roughly 3 PM - the riders would probably get there shortly after dark. This assumed there are no issues and you're still willing to go on your own. Let me know what you decide; I'll have a post for you up tomorrow!
You've piqued my curiosity, sir... :)
Rain will address Ironhorse and Daeron's rp in my next post. Sorry, it's a busy day at work today. No worries, Rain! You've been doing a lot, I completely understand if you need a little time :) Meanwhile, other than the chance to grab some more information and formulate your plans a bit better; you guys are pretty much good to go to your next stage. Quick Break-down 1. The Outriders need to get back to Urion as soon as they can to get the information delivered. The only reason that Christopher didn't leave at once was because they need to rest up for the long ride tomorrow and he wouldn't find a better place to do it than where you are now. However; you're all free to make any further searches of the ruins, as well as ask any other questions you'd like to ask. 2. It's clear by the information you've found that Urion will likely be hit by Cheliax Navy posing as local raiders. The Sullen River is pretty large and Castle Urion will likely need skilled sailors to help defend against a skilled assault by Cheliax Navy (these guys will be much tougher than just locals, they've been brought in for a reason, so your skill-set should be invaluable if you offer it). 3. To get home you'd likely need the support and favor of the Lord of Castle Urion; doing what you can to help him, as well as get clues on how to get home, is something to focus on when you arrive (Castle Urion is more than a castle, it's a castle originally but it grew to a town around the castle, so there will be lots to do when you get there other than defending the fort/port kind of thing). 4. The tips you found indicate that Cheliax is trying to plan something to aid Asmodeous - the data you found indicate they're starting small raids and making secret alliances with private agents all over Golarion - including The Shackles. The notes ALSO indicate someone in The Shackles who is important is one of their spies - you don't know who, but whoever it is must be important - more data about this could help you when you get home to deal with the Cheliax threat there. 5. You have clues for some potential allies; including in the River Kingdoms and also your The Shackles (potentially) in the form of the Gray Corsairs and possibly the town of Pezzack - more on that to come. 6. Finally, there's some kind of vague prophecy that a band of heroes armed with "weapons from the stars" will be useful in stopping the rise of Asmodeous - finding out more about this prophecy could also be useful. Cool - so, I got to go - I'll toss up a post on my lunch break at work; meantime, you guys have a great day!
Abut the thing with the Gray Corsairs - yes, you would probably would have heard of their group on a Global Level, but I thought you were using Knowledge: Local to learn about Hawkins specifically - about Hawkins there's not much chance of knowing much about him personally without a very high DC as he's just one captain in that group. I can have more about the Gray Corsairs up later today when I'm on my lunch break and have a chance to put up a bit more on their group. I hope you all have a good day and I'll do what I can to get more up soon. My first job today is with the government, and we're doing training all week and I'm able to access Paizo from their computers (they block most sites, like Facebook and others, but not Paizo :) The job right after that doesn't let me get home until around 11:30 PM tonight, so there will likely be some gaps in time before I can do more answers. That said, I'm sorry for any confusion or complications - I'm literally having trouble focusing very well so if I've missed data from you guys, I'm really sorry. Have a good day and see you soon!
What do you mean what happened to the coins? They're in the chest. Rain couldn't make out the markings/stamp on them. And no one else has rolled the check/s. The coins are still inside the chest at this time. They were in the chest - but I didn't know if anyone had decided to keep them as "Party Loot" - and if by Party Loot they'd split with the guys from the River Kingdoms; or if they'd give them all to the guys with the River Kingdoms, or even if they'd try to take some out on the sly... There's a lot which can happen between now and tomorrow morning, of course :) What is really confusing to me is that everyone in the party could have at least tried to learn more about them; after all, Appraise is a check people could make even without being trained in it - besides; many of the players have Ranks in it - perhaps we'll learn more about them, soon, though. That said - I'm so tired I'm having dizzy spells, but I need to take medicine to help me sleep; so I think I'll have to wait until tomorrow to make another post. See you all then!
Sorry for the delay; I was at work nearly 15 hours again, but I'm home now. Meantime - Rajah; you are correct via the Endure Elements - still, magic may protect someone, but it doesn't completely negate the desire to be inside a toasty tower with a warm fire rather than standing outside in freezing rain and sleet ;) Also, you are correct; they did get damaged by the trampling of the spider, but your Channeling healed the people who suffered. Glad you're back, though! To All: what happened to the coins that were discovered? Just curious to know what was done with them...
No worries. Endure Elements will work if people need to make Fortitude Saves for Disease issues; right now it's mainly that people are suffering through the cold, unfortunately. Meanwhile, you could flip the Restore if you'd like; but if you recall, they were about to make camp for the night and rest. If the resting goes as planned, then Jiro and Amen-set automatically regain 1 Strength point in the morning, plus - Lesser Restoration can be used then, too. It might be good to hit Jiro with one tonight, though, just to be sure (in case we roll more Natural 1's in the morning). If you'd like to use one now, though, that's totally cool, of course, but it's up to you :)
still swamped at work this weekend at the hospital. Will check in and get a response when I can. Hopefully tonight if not tomorrow. Sounds good! Meantime, not much has formally happened other than story/plot development since the death of that spider monster, so hopefully there's not too much to catch up with. I mean, there are some posts, but mostly they just have insights on the NPC's you'll interact with as well as some clues as to what will come, but they're meant to be subtle clues. Right now the rain has turned to freezing rain; it's pretty cold out and most of you guys aren't dressed for cold weather so heading out of the rain might be a safe bet - just in case :)
I will be traveling from Saturday morning until Weds. night (driving up north to see the eclipse). I will try to check in at least once a day, but if I miss a post time, please feel free to bot me to keep the flow going. I don't want to hold up the game. Thank you, Jiro. I appreciate that! Meanwhile, if I don't hear from Dhaavan by tonight, I'll bot him and move forward.
Current Map for Easy Access Thanks, Rain! :)
No worries, Rain! Typically I'd reward you with the gold during an In-Game opportunity. But I'm going to just have it added to your sheet now. As the game continues, obviously there will be chances for other rewards for everyone to come, but I guess we'll all find out what happens next :)
Rain: Thanks for the kick-ass map and adjustments. For all your help/support with the combat/mechanics I'm awarding you 1,000 GP. You can have that in either gold, Crafting Supplies (either magical or mundane) or Plunder - your choice! Variel; if you could please make a note of that on the Loot List for Rain I'd appreciate it. Thanks!
So this combat feels pretty complicated - I blame the GM on the lack of Description and a Map. However, the GM's knowledge of uploading maps is poor - so he didn't make one yet. This will change soon - I'll have a crude (yet functional) map up soon on the Discussion Thread to aid things. I apologize in advance for how bad the map will look; but it will be functional!
Right now I'm botting Dhaavan. Since I don't know what he would do, and since no one acted for him I'm just having him "Hold Action" in the open doorway by the south side of the tower. Quick Aside - for those of you who studied the enemy, you probably realize the CR is modestly challenging. I don't think it's too OP given that you have 5 9th Level Mythic Heroes, 2 8 Level NPC's and 1 7th Level NPC with your group. To Clarify; the enemy could indeed feel more OP if people don't act. The CR is meant for your party and it will become more difficult if members of the party don't act. That said; it's your move!
Not well tonight. I'll post something in my morning. Thanks for your patience. No worries, Rain. Also, Dhaavan? I've read your sheet; the only languages I was able to find was "Aquan" but I think that's Jack's... I must have missed it, but what languages do you read/speak? Thanks :)
That said; do you two want to RP that in front of the two outriders by the horses, or further into the forest? Good! In which case I'm going to say Dhaavan would acknowledge your response, but he won't do anything in front of the outriders until he knows more about them specifically. When he sees you move into the forest, he will naturally follow you in while still Invisible, especially as Vanish doesn't last that long anyway - after you're both past the initial tree line he'll start talking with you to catch up on what you missed (you two can RP that out if you'd like before catching up with the others). At this point you'll reach the clearing by the ruined tower and Dhaavan can then introduce himself to the others at this time. If anyone else is on, feel free to RP seeing Rajah and Dhaavan come out of the trees before the tower, too :) NOTE: I apologize for my last post. I re-read it and the grammar/writing was almost incomprehensible to me. I'm sorry for that; I'm having a few issues and I clearly wasn't very focused when writing it. Since it past the 1 hour mark I can't edit it. However; Rajah didn't move "beyond" the party, he moved "behind" the party; as in, he was following them on a path that seemed to have either vanished or was non-existent. Despite the age/size/thickness of the trees/roots, the entire clearing has no trees in it; and not even growing roots from trees beyond the clearing have stretched to break or damage the base of the tower itself.
Okay - so Dhaavan did a shout-out to you; you advanced to the tower, but Dhaavan may or may not come with you, and he'll certainly need some 'splaining In-Character before you're caught up. That said; do you two want to RP that in front of the two outriders by the horses, or further into the forest? If you do that RP in the forest, it means you could all meet up with Rain, Neko, Jiro and Amen-set and then we could go from there? Also, you may want to hold off on your last casting until you formally meet up with Variel and Dhaavan, as I'm not sure you'd know to cast it on them until/unless you meet them. Looking forward to what happens next :)
and Dhaavan said he was coming too... but hasn't posted his step into the portal yet. He may not be used to the frequency of posting in this game yet. But that's okay, I'm pretty sure he'll get back into the swing of things once he starts up. Speaking of which - I just got back from another twelve hour shift (sorry for the late posting). That being the case, I should point out I post once a day - sometimes more. I also will write a response to every PC who posts, though sometimes I consolidate those responses into one single post. If I'm going to be AFK for more than 24 hours, I'll let you guys know on the Discussion Thread. If you guys are AFK for more than 24 hours, please let us know so we know who can bot you. Cool! That said, the boards have been up-dated; more to come when I see you guys do next :)
It'd be good to see where Variel materialises as he didn't come out of the doorway when we did ... Hopefully he'll show up not too far from where we are currently. :) Indeed! Well, I guess we'll just have to find out what happens next :)
Well, OUT of game Daeron is the only one who isn't at least a 4th level ranger; the others already have Endurance, plus relatively decent Fortitude Saves... However, they would never turn down a bonus to aid them in the wild :) Also, Variel MAY be involved - but don't ask me; for all I know, the magical elements which bring him to this place could have him come after the storm... In short, if you use it, do what you can with what you know and we'll see how it turns out :)
Variel and Dhaavan – if you guys are up for joining, the GM has me botting this adventure; it’s currently on the Social RP thread to make it easier to find. Also, there’s some issues with the time/space/placement via the magical transport; so you could all leave at once, but you’ll eventually appear with the party as soon as you want to join. For what it’s worth, Dhaavan, the place they’re in is the River Kingdoms; it’s currently ruled by a collection of Barons governed by their Queen who has a friend who is a young female dragon. Rumor has it that one of the Barons is a powerful barbarian warlord to the east… you may have heard of him :)
FYI traveling today and tomorrow so will jump in when I get home. Sounds good! I'll see you soon :)
I'm out of town today. Will be back tonight and will read the posts and rp where applicable. It's alright, Rain. I know you're AFK for now, I'll wait to see what you toss up before moving forward :) Clarification: I don't like to assume what players are doing because too many mistakes can be made on my part. So if any of you guys has something in mind for their character regarding actions, please let me know via "In-Character". JAF0 - right now you're about 200 feet from Rain and Neko. You're a quarter mile from Amen-set and Rajah. There is no sign of Horatio and there are four riders moving toward you. At this time you have not written you're moving toward anyone, or taken any action. I don't know what you'd like to do, though; please let me know more before tonight so I know what actions you're going to take. Thanks! Variel/Dhaavan - If you guys still want to join in on this, know that whenever you post your action you'll be instantly drawn to the bulk of where the party is via jumping in the Gate on our ship, so no worries on that point. I update the boards daily; if I'm not able to post for the next coming day or so, I'll let you guys know on the Discussion Thread in advacne. If I don't see a post from a player, I assume you have nothing you'd like to do, so I will move the action forward. Please let me know if this might conflict with things now so I know how to handle that In-Game for the future. I will respond to all PC posts via GM, though the answers may all be consolidated into a single post so it's not overly lengthy. However, I'll try to keep my posts down to one a day when it comes to moving the entire party forward; though it may be that you'll see multiple posts of Social RP between an NPC and a Player, the group will not be "moved forward" until players all have a chance to act at least once a day - if they don't post after 24 hours, I assume they do not wish to act and will move things forward. Cool! That said; I'm interested in trying my hand at some GMing again - see you all soon :) |
