I will pass, unfortunately. Thanks for running this, I had fun. I will let you all know when I have my game up and running

"To bureaucracy! May it digest our paperwork smoothly, and eventually excrete our payment!"
Lukas sits down and gets to writing. "Seldlron, my friend, it's just paperwork, not a death sentence. I daresay you will survive."
"I believe I could go for some refreshment as well."
Woulda done a bit more I think if I had picked up a damage cantrip. Acid splash or something. Bit of an oversight on my part
"Well, that was invigorating!" Lukas says cheerily. "What else were we to do here?"
Seeing that Seldlron has the big one mostly under control, he steps up to flank the small one with Taqan. He stabs at it inexpertly with his dagger.
Lukas steps out to get a clear shot, then points a finger at the big trog, unleashing a ray of weakening energy.
Lukas takes another step to the southeast, then fires off a magic missile at the big spellcasting trog.
Lukas swipes at the trog that stepped close to him, then jumps back.
Lukas mounts the stairs just high enough to see over the lip into the room, retching heavily. He scans the room quickly, then fires off a spell at the biggest thing in there.
"Oh, what's this?" Lukas looks over Balenar's shoulder at the scroll in question.
Thanks guys! It'll be about a month or so, look for "Founders of the First Age", a wilderness exploration sandbox in a land before civilization.
So, for the forums, I just make a GM [Whatever] alias and go? Or is a GM alias something special?
Lukas stays up late for first watch, munching frog leg and contemplating the bones. He pops awake bright and early the next morning, then sits watching the others rouse themselves one by one. "Protection? Hmm, sorry, I'm afraid I don't know any spells like that."
Unfortunately, I will have to decline your invitation. I'm hoping to clear my PbP plate, so to speak, to give me time to run a game of my own. I came up with a good idea recently, and I've been wanting to try PbP GMing.
Lukas stands with a dagger in one hand, poised to throw, his other hand contorted into an arcane gesture. He watches the fighter open the next room, licking his lips in anticipation.
"Yes, I suppose we should rest, given the circumstances."
"The big one wasn't the leader? Maybe there is something even bigger in here."
Lukas looks up at being directly addressed. It seems he was concentrating on not losing his last meal. Successful, he replies, "Ugh, I thought those smelled bad on the outside. I am quite partial to daggers, yes. I am not trained in archery, though."
"I could use a rest, but I do have a bit left in me. Let us press on."
Lukas fires off a missile. "I'm almost out of those."
"Oh, that sounds like fun." Lukas chortles quietly, grabbing one end of the rope and getting in position.
Hmm, because it counts as a weapon attack. Interesting
"I am uninjured." Lukas reassures the dwarf, before moving to examine the pile of bones that was the nearest skeleton. "Animated purely by negative energy. Fascinating. I have seen it done only a few times before. I was able to disrupt it by overcharging the matrices."
Lukas keeps up the barrage against the remaining skeleton, commenting to Tiresias, "Indeed."
True randomness can and does have streaks. It's just the luck of the RNG
"Curses, this isn't going as well as I'd hoped." He fires off the ray again, switching targets to the one that is surrouned.
Lukas aims and fires off the ray again.
Only this time, he misses terribly.
Did I lose my regular round actions? I'm sorry, I wasn't able to post yesterday.
"Animated skeletons of some sort." Lukas muses. "Let's try this..."
"Hmm, I hadn't gotten that far in." he replies to Seldlron.
"Something familiar about the dual altars, but it escapes me at the moment..."
"Ah, moving on? Very well." Lukas seems a bit disappointed, he had been silently examining the troglodyte that Seldlron cut up. "Fascinating thing. I couldn't find where in its body that smell was being made. I'll have to come back to it."
Lukas casually steps up behind Oskar and looks into the room. "Ah, I see." He lifts a finger and fires off another bolt of energy. "Got him."
"Sounds like you're the man with the plan. Let's do it." Lukas says, getting into position in the rear.
"How generous! I'll take that lift, thank you." Lukas steps up and takes hold of the rope. He weighs little for a grown man, and has only a small bag of supplies.
I will be on vacation tomorrow through new years. I will try to post while on vacation, but may miss some days
The pallid sorcerer seems puzzled by the warrior's comment. "Ill? No. Never felt better." He picks up a dismembered giant spider leg, flexing it back and forth. "Fascinating..."
"Nice shot." Lukas says as he starts toward the monster's corpse. He crouches over the inert mass, closely examining it.
Lukas looks up from the dead dog he has been examining, just now noticing that a fight is going on. He hurries over to Seldlron's side, asking "What's going on, what is it?" He looks up into the webs in the darkness of the ruin, trying to spot what the warrior is shooting at. "Oh, that big thing there?" He points, sending a bolt of energy into the spider.
I thought the dogs went before me. My bad I guess
Lukas draws a dagger and stands ready, waiting for the dogs to come close.
"I am ready as well." the eerie sorcerer proclaims. "Time is precious. Someone may beat us to it if we dither about here any longer."
A black-robed young man looks up from where he sits, far from everyone else. He silently leers at the others from under his hood for a moment before answering. "I seek gold, and a chance to test my power."
I can see this character working for any of them, he's a bit mercenary.
