Nightflier, do you mind making this game inactive, then? Looks like no one else is around. Thanks!

sorry to hear, nightflier. Take your time.
"Stay with us for now. If danger comes, we'll know it soon enough."
"Indeed, Reth. Let's move out and get questions while we travel. We have our orders."
"Serenity, ask our friend Gromaldo how many units this Eliza commands," says Jeren quietly. "We will have to take him with us, or we risk being discovered. As it is, she will send another force to find out why Gromaldo's failed. Let us proceed with haste, and scout the rear to make sure that we aren't followed." "And get him to show you his trinket," Jeren adds. "Let's find out its properties. If it's a tracking device or an explosive, we'll need it handed over."
"Agreed. Let's move out. Lethe, can you hold the prisoner?"
"Then it is our want, or wont. You'll remain bound. What is your name and why are you here?"
"Our sympathies, wretch, on your failure, then. Serenity, is the jewel or whatever it is dangerous? We cannot kill him in cold blood. Scar, Rhuuk, bind him and he will walk tethered to us." Jeren levels his hammer at the creature's face, ready to strike if he tries to attack or escape.
"Host. Give it NOW!"
Jeren points his hammer at the man's arm but swings it a bit clumsily as he does so, perhaps a bit off-put by the Mournland.
"Reth, do you detect it as magical? Point this bauble out. Lethe, thank you."
Jeren shakes his head (in agreement). He motions to Rhuuk. "Bind and search. Break or take items. We don't slaughter prisoners, and anyhow, we have a destination to get to." "Gag him as well," he adds as an afterthought.
Jeren detects evil, his face grim. He walks over to the arcanist. "Tell us your name and purpose and we'll show mercy."
Jeren pulls out his lucerne hammer and strikes at a rat-thing.
"On the caster, Lethe! Host blast it!"
"On the caster, full fire!" Jeren lifts his crossbow and fires.
"Ranged weapons first, then forward to punch a hole! Focus your fire! "
"Give us a bead, Havoc!" Jeren doesn't see the constructs, but notches an arrow.
"Fall in! Eyes and blades out!" Jeren's voice rings clear through the murk.
Rhuuk, Lethe, me, Serenity, Scar, and Reth in the back? Am I missing anyone?
Welcome back, Reth!
Waiting is fine. Any way we can split our discussion threads for clarity?
Do we have campaign threads yet? I know they aren't working well elsewhere.
He may need to clear his cache.
Say, this reminds me of Six Characters in Search of a Playwright, or whatever that play is called.
"I don't think there are any straight lines left in the Mournlands," says Jeren with a distant smile. "May the Host preserve the souls of Cyre," he adds reverently.
"Yes, sir!" Jeren gives his sharpest military salute.
Can you post the links for each discussion thread? I found it by searching your latest posts, Nightflier, but it might be hard to find for some.
Checking in.
It's probably a glitch, Raelc; the other day the Paizo.com domain was glitchy all over. That sucks! Nightflier, do you exile the eggcaster to Xen'drik because his palantir was broken?
Mournlands.
Welcome back! :D
Takes a while for the glow to wear off...
I stopped reading once the Drrzzzzzt: big angry barbarian died. I hear he comes back. Moved on to Bassingthwaite and beyond.
Crap or crepe? Just watch out for the twin bladed drow sous-chef. He will cut you.
Hey Serenity! Prior experience can make for some good roleplay interactions. Yeah, either campaign will involve harming and healing, right? :D 2 more days until nightflier flies back, and then we shall see!
True, Zechariah--a well-motivated group can keep things afloat. Rhuuk, the feeling is mutual--I just didn't want to alienate others by saying "we are a team! nyah!" ;) Although...I wonder if the 10 day hiatus will cause interest to wither? We shall see when nightflier flies back!
I have to say, though, a bunch of military groups in the steamy, deadly, haunted jungles of Xen'drik sounds very, you know, like certain movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger or Sigourney Weaver in them. :D
Gotta love internecine struggle! A few things occur to me. One, none of us is optimized for Xen'drik (are we?). Although, it's not too hard to shift over. (pun not intended.) Two, we only have 11 people admitted, which doesn't reach Nightflier's requirements for 2 parties. He may reconsider that; after all, smaller parties run faster in PbP. To continue on that, I'm not sure we really have 11--we can't be sure that people won't drop out due to delay, not making a character, etc. The more we chat and weigh in pre-play, the better, I reckon--this will help us know who's really here.
Yes--Reth is of the Silver Flame, which, I believe, will also annoy the (other) shifter characters in turn. ;) Jeren follows the Host and is one of the Karrnathis who doesn't like the use of undead--something mentioned by the ol' Hellcow himself somewhere. Taking these various conflicts into consideration, I don't think you could have two parties free of squabbles, but that's what makes for good role play as long as it doesn't get out of hand. At least no one is playing an Inspired. |
