I'm probably going to drop Klodd from this game. Just having a really hard time getting into his character. Thanks for the opportunity, and look forward to gaming with all of you in the future.

Just my two coppers worth... It's hard to rebuild momentum in a game that's slowed down. The characters were built with certain things in mind, and as other characters leave the game some of that "role-playing" interaction leaves with them. Unfortunately, this game has been one of starts and stops, which can be frustrating, and speaking for myself I've kind of lost my train of thought with Klodd. I think in a table top game or a fast posting game on here your approach to GM'ing is wonderful, unfortunately in a slow posting, inconsistent PbP I think you've got to lead us around a bit. I'm in other games which move slowly but work because the GM constantly summarizes, and in some cases presents us with our options multiple times in order to get us to react. Sometimes the games come back, more often they don't. It's just hard to restart a stalled game. I'd be willing to keep playing with Klodd, but probably am not going to push the action forward too much, as I'd have to reread the entire thread, and have other players interact to get the momenteum back. If you pull us along for a while it might come back... or it might be time to start something else anew. Thanks, for running, and I like playing with you...it's seldom just the GM or just the players fault when things don't work out.
"Sure. Come on over".
Klodd after dispensing his healing, walks over to the unmoving friend. Medicine "Let's see if I can figure out what's wrong with him, and how fast he might be able to move again".
CW 1
"Gather round now ye, and let's give thanks for coming though this battle alive".
Level 2 HP +11 hp (7+3+1) * Channel Divinity: (Turn Undead / Guided Strike) Once per short rest.
Woo! Hoo! Finally Level 2... I'll level up tonight.
Klodd begins to froth at the mouth, as he swings wildly at a wasp. Warhammer
Klodds existence is still probable.
I don't mind rolling, but would prefer that you roll, and group us for combat. I find that this really speeds up combat... which is often the downfall of successful PbP games.
Initiative. "Flying varmints with big stinger everybody"!
Klodd is right on the spot, bursting in weapons drawn as well.
"Sure". Klodd goes down the hallway a bit to scout things out in a little more detail. Perception
Klodd continues along his way.
"Not a problem. I'll try to keep us away from the nastier stuff". Using his above perception roll, Klodd starts down.
Perception "Yeah. That is some kind of fungus. When I was younger the local authorities removed it from our home. It is dangerous, so proceed with caution".
"My people have had "interactions" with Kobolds in the past. This construction is reminiscent of the techniques used at the entrance to their lairs... or hovels as they refer to them".
Klodd playing rear guard for now looks about the chamber, one finger on his chin as he thinks. "This looks like Kobold work. Wonder what they're doing down here".
"I guess I'd better go first or last, since the darkness doesn't really bother me". As Grinling starts down the ladder, Klodd stays to hold the door for everyone to enter.
The ever present throne on Klodd's face deepens even more at the mention of forced slavery. He begins to pace about impatiently. "Yes. Yes. It's time these "Wizards" get their comeuppances".
"Do you think we should stabilize one of these rascals for questioning? I'm all for ending the others".
Being colorblind makes that difficult, so I'll just say the one closest to the door on the right...
Initiative Klodd moves in along the wall that the door closes against, casts Sacred Flame, then moves into the corner is possible. Radiant damage (Dex save to negate, cover does not apply)
"Names Klodd... and I can't see I'm sorry to see some reinforcements... but I agree with Ayita. We need to find Valarie... even if it's just her corpse".
I'll be back to full posting as soon as the internet and power come back on.
"Yes good idea. Hopefully we'll not encounter anything too dangerous, as our ranks have thinned considerably".
Yeah. I'm like Ayita. If we can get the momentum back I'd like to continue with Klodd, but it is often difficult to get a game back once it's went on life support. I'll stick it out, and see if new life can re-invigorate it.
"Looks like she left here in a hurry. We'd best get on with finding her. She might be in trouble again".
"Well it's not getting any closer us standing here. Shall we go? Seem a bit lonely without the other huh"?
Klodd shows up early on the morning of the 5th day, ready to resume their charter.
Klodd is leveled up, and would like to take the extra day to pray, and tithe his normal 10% to the his faith. He'll also use up his compliment of healing spells volunteering for the sick and injured in the city. He'll dispense funds as follows: 22-gp to the local church to help in whatever is needed.
"Well we seem to have wrapped things up here. What say we give that locked door a look, and finish exploring this thing"?
Knowing that he needs to end this spellcaster and move on, Klodd calls forth the power of his god, and aims a lance of pure radiant magic at the man. Guiding Bolt
"Well in for a penny... in for a pound". Klodd takes aim at the wand carrier, seeing him as a greater threat. Crossbow
Hoping they are not starting a war they can't win, or killing a potential ally, Klodd attempts to defuse the situation. He carefully sights his crossbow and bellows for the elves to surrender.
: Intimidation
If needed : Crossbow
"Stand down, and raise your hands, and you might survive to see the light of another day, you lilly livered tree huggers".
"Boy! You sure live up to your nickname don't you? Would you quit attacking everything you see? I bet school was a challenge for you". Klodd stands ready, but does not attack waiting to see the reaction.
Travelling till Wednesday. Please DMPC my character.
Klodd squints and watches the man closely as he speaks, to see if he's telling the truth. Insight INT Check
Wow. Last weekend was the year anniversary of this game. Many don't make it that long... so congratulations to all. Maybe in another year we'll make second level :-).
Klodd walks in, see's the situation is well in hand, and stands down. "I'll keep an eye out while you talkers deal with that one".
Klodd once again heads up the stairs to where he was before. "Whew! Who designed these steps. They are a good 3 inches too steep each".
Klodd steps forward with a smile and open arms. "Friends! Don't worry we're here and will take care of any wolves. I don't suppose you have any of that spicy jerky you guys usually travel with. I love the fact that it bites back as hard as you bite it". Klodd seems to be happier with the Kobolds than anything you've noticed till this point.
Klodd rolls his eyes, and heads to open the door. "Well no time like the present. Get yourselves ready". Klodd intends to move forward, throw the door open, then jump quickly to the side of the door that opens away from the knob into the room.
Klood steps out onto the balcony and looks over the group still below. "Well you chickens coming up, or did you find something interesting down there... or is it time for Breakfast"?
I'm at the home office for training this week, so not sure what my posting schedule will be... so if necessary feel free to bot.
