My initial issues have now turned into two unplanned trips. I literally just got home from trip one and am about to sleep, then I'm out of pocket again from Thursday through Sunday this weekend. After that, I should be back to normal with posting daily etc. I apologize again, but life threw me a couple really rough curveballs this month.
"Might be another, or perhaps the same one following us. Be wary, we've had enough surprises it would be nice to have warning of the next danger."
"Let's head out. Looks like that was just a storm. We should continue to follow the trail from where we had to stop before."
Kishai nods at Mordred. "I agree. It makes more sense to stay together here in the warmth and ignore whatever that is unless we get more information or it breaks in."
Sorry my estimate was off. I'm officially back now. Just gotta catch up and post.
Things settling down. Just enough time to copy/paste in all my games that I should be back to posting tomorrow. See you tomorrow!
Sisu, taking a short nap after tending to the gnoll during the day, hears Mordred's call and staggers to her feet and out the door. She tries to stay out of view as she stares towards the quiet sounds.
"I'll take second watch tonight and tomorrow. The highly injured should rest and not be asked to guard."
In the morning, Sisu creates two infusions and gives them to Garrasay and Mordred, and spends the day keeping an eye on the wounded gnoll.
I don't remember an already established watch order. I'm good with any shift (darkvision and endure elements are good for cold nights and I have no need for uninterrupted rest to regain slots or anything), so I'll leave it to the others who might have preferences.
When they arrive at the lodge, Kishai immediately gets Garrasay situated before the fire to keep him warm. Even after regaining consciousness he is in need of rest and attention. "Does anyone else have any healing ability? We are torn up enough that I recommend we rest for a full day to get everyone back on their feet." As she putters about getting things set up, she looks towards the door. "We also should make sure that we set up a guard. I am happy to take any shift that is needed"
If we're doing a full 24-hour rest I'll be happy to do a heal check roll. Additionally I can still throw a CLW on the two lowest during that day of rest. Just want to verify with the group that they're on board with a 24-hour pause of mission.
OK, so back at the lodge we rest. Everyone gets 2 HP overnight from natural healing. That puts us at: Me: 14/17
In the morning I can do 2 CLW (for Mordred and Garrasay)
"None at all. We need to prepare better; it might have been too impulsive to set out without a good night's rest."
No, I'm out of CLW extracts for the day. Everyone is stabilized and no one is dead, but we're pretty out of sorts in terms of health for now. I'm at 12/17
Do we have anyone with healing abilities besides myself? I can only do 2 CLWs a day which is limiting at the moment.
Still here. Last week was a bear in RL, so I was just keeping an eye on the boards but not posting much.
Well, I propose that before we head too much farther into this nasty cold we either find a place to rest, or backtrack to the lodge for some sleep. Sending luck your way GM
Kishai rushes over to the unconscious gnoll. "I have not studied their physiology much, but hopefully I can help him out a bit"
well damnit. and I'm out of extracts for the day so no CLW from me. Least I can do is some stabilization (hopefully)
Kishai steps in behind the creature and takes a left handed swipe at it.
Before I do my post, I know sometimes snow is difficult terrain. Is this nice snow or mean snow? Asking as whether or not I can 5' step makes a big difference with potential full round attacks.
GM: Since you mention the environment, Kishai always starts off the day with one extract slot used up, since as soon as her slots refresh the first thing she does is make and use endure elements. That's why I skip the rolls even though I don't have actual gear or a trait or anything.
Kishai shivers and blacks out for a second as the intense wind hits her. "Agreed. Do you mind if we rest for a minute, that hit me pretty hard"
"Interesting. Hopefully this is just intimidation and not a literal threat. I'm not in the mood to be eaten." Kishai moves around the writing so as not to disturb it and continues along the path.
Kishai begins to follow Garrasay, with a longing glance back at the hut. "This place fascinates me, and I would love to investigate it fully, but I agree we have to keep moving."
"by the gods!" "Mordred, are you okay? What happened? Did you find something?" Kishai stops retreating just outside the doorway and peers back in towards the Shabti man.
Kishai backs out of the hut, her gaze lingering on the doll. I know we need to find the source of this weather, but the mystery of these images and this doll intrigues me. I might need to return here someday.
Kishai steps just inside the doorway of the hut to get a closer look at the doll, ready to rip it apart if she needs to but hoping that isn't necessary, as it's quite well made.
Yeah. I've only seen Petal leave Garrasay's shoulder once, and it was just during a non combat RP moment.
Hi and Hi!
I'm pretty sure the companions are previous PCs who GM was keeping on as support until their replacements were recruited, so they can probably fade away. In terms of the party of seven we should do a roll call to see who is still active after the game stalled. Raises hand Kishai is still here!
Thank you GM Nayr. And thank you Deadly Secret. I hope work calms back down for you so you can get back to enjoying some free time.
I am up for continuing if the group is. If there's only two I'm ok with dropping it as well. All depends on the others.
It's OK Deadly Secret. If life gets in the way, that happens. No hard feelings at all. I personally wouldn't mind continuing with a good GM but if the group wants to disband then I won't argue. I hope that they are either compensating you for your increased duties, or that life slows back down for you :)
Still here. Figured there were some delays so I'd just be patient :)
Kishai approaches carefully. "I wonder if this figure has anything to do with the spirit we've been seeing"
Kishai looks over to Garrasay and nods at his perceptive statement. "I agree. This girl seems to be either a past victim or a potential threat, and perhaps both. More importantly, it seems to me that the hut is the focal point of whatever is here so we should ignore her for now."
Back home. I need a long nap then I'll be posting regularly again.
Kishai sees the visions of the girl and takes mental notes in case the scenes become pertinent, but does not let them distract her from the goal of reaching the hut.
Not letting the apparition distract her but wishing to learn more, Kishai speaks to the girl without stopping her movement towards the hut. "Whose doll are you speaking of, little one...and where is your home?
"It seems that this girl is trying to lead us somewhere. It might be safe, but it just as easily could be a trap. Let's head to the hut and see if we can figure out what is going on."
Kishai signals to the group that they should stop, or at least pause. "Before we run headlong after this apparition, we should take a second to think. I would like to help her if she is distressed, but there is a chance that this is some sort of trick or trap."
Ok the vacation is taking up more time than expected. I've been reading along but hard to get time to post. Will try and get one up tonight.
Just a heads up...I'm about to head out for a vacation. I'm leaving on Wednesday and coming back on the 22nd. Both of those days I'll be offline, but most of the days between I should be able to get onto the forums about once a day. I'll still be posting just wanted to let you know in case I miss a day or two.
Kishai walks slowly towards the manifestation. "I do not know much of these matters, but sometimes it's easiest just to ask." She looks towards the child and addresses it respectfully. "Excuse me, young one. Would you be kind enough to let us know where we are? We are new to this area and are wondering what is going on hereabouts."
Looking around the group, Kishai realizes they might be waiting for a vote of sorts. "I feel that we should just ignore the animal and keep moving towards our objective."
"The bigger question is, is this something of importance? It might be a source of information or a danger, or it might simply be an injured animal. Should we follow it or continue towards where it seems the cold is coming from?" Kishai stops to take a good look at where the tracks leave the trail. "Looks like it is a giant weasel"
