Sorry for my extended, unexcused, unexplained absence. I have been feeling burnt out. But not specifically on my games; feeling burnt out on pretty much all of my normal routines. I'm taking steps to snap out of it over the next few days and I hope to resume posting soon.
Thanks for having me GM!
This is the submission for caps. Her crunch is set up according to a different campaign's guidelines, but it should be similar to yours. I would make any tweaks necessary if I were accepted. The obvious one being her drawback would go away (she already had 3 traits). I would audit the point buy also, but it is probably 20 points. Her backstory stuff is at the bottom of her profile, not in a spoiler, so other players should not read it
I am a PC from a Ruins of Azlant game that couldn't get through the first book; the GM ghosted. My personal experience is that GMs ghosting on games is the leading cause of them not making headway. I liked what we played through and wanted to play more.
One of the few campaigns I was going to stay in looks to be on hiatus for a while. I can probably still make time for this campaign in the meanwhile. However, it looks like the GM has disappeared?
I'm sorry everyone, but I need to withdraw from this game. For the time being at least. I am still really excited about the party and the campaign, but I just don't have the kind of time I used to in order to keep up witha bunch of campaigns. I'm cutting back to just the ones I've been in for a really long time already. Maybe things will change for me. Or perhaps I'll be able to come back when one of those campaigns wrap up. For now, feel free to replace me with an active poster.
"So we know the townspeople turned... Strange... And left of their own accord. That explains the state of the buildings, perhaps. But what caused it..." She trails off, tapping her lip with an index finger, lost in thought. [Ooc] unfortunately bards do not have longbow proficiency [/ooc[
Katria eyes the gnome with some skepticism, brow furrowed and lips frowning, "You sent your bodyguard off without telling us? How do we know he's not triggering some kind of trap or attack against us?"
"Huh, Talmandor."
Katria eyes the quality chain shirt, but waves her hand over it. "You should take it, 'Stasia." She turns to Copperpot's bodyguard. "Are we going to talk about your useless incorporeal bodyguard, Copperpot?"
I will be at GenCon through Sunday.
Katria positions herself to stab at the goblin by Noirague.
Katria tosses the bedding aside, looking for a hidden creature. "Do you think there might be a pet or something in here?" She also looks around for a decent bludgeoning weapon that she knows how to use.
Katria shrugs at he tool room. "Glickly is right. Not much else of interest in here." She cautiously moves into the blacksmith room.
I'm not going to bore you with all the details, but I have a lot going on right now. It may still be a few more weeks before my posting rate is back to normal. Sorry for the delay, everyone.
Katria murmurs a spell and the tip of her longspear begins to glow.
Katria nods her assent and joins in the search.
Katria can't figure it out either.
I am at a conference this week and expect to be very busy. It is, for me, a work all day long conference and I don't expect to have much downtime where I have energy to post. Bot me as necessary.
Katria eyes Noiraigue thoughtfully for a moment, sticking her tongue out to one side and narrowing her eyes. After a second, she nods and gives him a firm but unenthusiastic high five.
Katria pulls one of the potions found earlier off of her belt and hands it wordlessly to Noiraigue.
Katria stabs at the creature again for
Having identified the creature, Katria steps into the room and stabs at it twice.
for
"It's an Ankheg Nymph!"
I'm at a conference all week. My posts may be few and far between. Bot me as necessary.
Katria joins in the search.
"Something strange happened here, and someone didn't want us to find out about it... Let's continue our search. Maybe there is something else if interest in this same building."
"We do not know where our search will take us, nor how much of our time it will consume. I say we *are* pressed for time. Noirague, please make use of your shoulder."
Sorry for disappearing the last few days. I should have given warning. The next few days won't be much better. This week is a particular busy one at work. Please bot me if necessary.
Katria nods in agreement with Anastasia and heads towards the large building.
Katria takes one of the potions and resumes walking.
Katria nods and joins the others in heading into the palisade. Though she walks with her longspear, she does not seem to be concerned about an ambush.
Katria pulls out her spear and uses it to poke at the canvas and or lift it up to see what might be underneath. She also looks at the personal effects for anything that might be significant.
Hey, don't feel bad about it. Real life happens to all of us. I'm ready to play whenever but don't rush coming back if you need more time to settle in.
Katria pauses in her stride and glances at the tents, then stops to point at them. "Should we dig through those before we go into the center of the pavilion?"
That's great to hear that things are looking up! Don't overdo it trying to get back up to speed for us. We're in it for the full campaign and that will take a few years, so waiting a few more weeks (or a month or two) isn't that big a deal.
Oof. No worries; take as long as you need.
Katria opts to follow Anastasia's example and arms herself with her longspear as she moves down the dock. "We should look for signs of what happened... Maybe the town center will offer some insight." She gets off towards the biggest building in town, or towards the Town square; whichever is more obvious.
Well, magic has a lot of uses. I guess that's one of 'em.
"Alright Mr. Copperpot. I think I can manage that."
I think that looks fine but I haven't looked at the underwater combat rules yet to compare
I picked out Katria's EQ, GM. Sorry for the delay. The only significant addition was a longspear. Hope one of y'all have something to deal with swarms, because Katria has nothing for that.
Katria nods and decides to watch.
"What do you think he's doing?" Katria points at Noiraigue.
Katria calls on her internal store of luck and stands up
for
"Grindylows! Nasty beasts!" she calls out as she recognizes them.
Katria gives Ramona a nod and climbs into the boat.
Handsome and lean, but certainly not slender, Katria keeps her dark hair back and away from her face under a brimmed hat. Peeking out from under the hat are dark dark and beautiful eyes, almost always curious, as most anyone who has spoken to her has noticed by now--she has a way of maintaining eye contact through silence and conversation and seems unaware of how it sometimes makes others feel uncomfortable. Katria would be considered moderately attractive by most... if her more unusual features do not put them off too much. Although she appears otherwise human, she sports a pair of gills on her neck, and her skin always shines with an oily sheen. She wears loose clothing with a sword, buckler, and bow on her most of the time.
-- "What are the potions?" Katria asks, all business, as she takes the pouch. "What will you do if we don't meet you in three days?"
At the request for private conversation, Katria nods curtly and follows Ramona to her speaking place. Having learned by now that even whispered conversations rarely remain secret aboard a ship for long, she leans close as Ramona speaks. After hearing Ramona's request, Katria nods again. "Of course. We must know what happened here if our expedition is to be a success."
Katria coughs into her hand to hide her smirk as the "Dread Mage Arcandantilus" bellows out the purpose of their mission. She gives Noiraigue a sidelong glance at his confident manner. Leader, eh?
Katria gives the gnome some curious looks, but otherwise continues to keep to herself.
Oh, I just remembered I didn't buy her any gear besides combat equipment. I will probably come up with a few token personal items for her, but should she buy adventuring gear now, or when we arrive at the colony? Also, how much gold do we have to spend, anyway?
