What?! And waste all that money I paid for healing alchemy? :P
Besides, with her Str, climbing with ropes and Sherpa-Snaga we should be good for getting to the top. ;)
Much cheers to all.

Sorry for only a quick post. About Mel getting all 'nekkid' for the guys? ;) I'd actually been thinking really hard about this before...well...things. The pair of options I'd thought of/come across were 1) Borrowing one or two of Holystone's "Air-crystals" (I alwyas forget what the actual alchemical name is, sorry) and simply 'walking' in. Assuming the way was short enough. 2) Similar to 1 but, yes, stripping down to the padding and paddling into the place. Now, since things have resolved a little (Still wishing every one all the very best) Coming in through the 'roof' and fighting down definitely seems the better idea. As long as we can keep holding any/all the 'choke' points between levels we should actually do pretty well. Melthun is a moving wall... And there's nothing better for allies to hide behind than a wall, especially one made of metal. :) With the sad loss of Hollystone.... Are we seeking to bring in more Just a thought. Shall try and get a post up some time soon. Again, all the very best to all. Rest/recover well DM Dain. Hope things smooth out for others in regards to Real Life.
Very sorry. Real Life is not sparing the kindness. Have also been hammered flat and coming down with something. No time to post. :( Will address things as soon as I can. Very much wishing every one all the very best that I can.
At work. There's definately no need to appologize! Real Life is putting you through the wringer! Please don't stress about the game. We will all be here for, both to offer at least an interweb shoulder for moral support as well as to join in the fun that is your game. Wishing you and yours all the very best.
Please, your health, life, wellbeing are the important things! Wishing you and yours all the best and am hoping things straighten out for the best for you and yours!
Sorry to hear about your car. :( Very best wishes/hopes for how things are going for you at the moment. Wishing your health etc all the best. Much cheers to every one else.
Rest and get well. Wishing you a pleasant recovery. Much cheers to all.
First, get better soon and am hoping things are as good/best they can be after such an event. Middle of last year I lost control of my car on wet/oily road and punched a guard rail with the front left bumper. Thankfully, nothing worse than the damage to the car. Still, get treated for anything and I hope your vehicle/damages etc aren't too bad. Second, in relation to the game? "Relax". Perhaps you can, kind of, 'Take it slow'. See if the characters can drive the pace of things. I am truly looking forward to seeing the game pick up again. Though rest well and recover well. Wishing every one all the very best.
Also sorry to hear that Real Life is giving you a kicking DM Dain. Wishing you all the best in getting on top of/Over your problems. Anything game wise from myself can wait till you're on an even keel. Wishing you and yours and very one else all the very best.
Just a heads up. Entering a busy three days for me. Will be able to look in occasionally and post sporadically. Much cheers to all.
Posting from the start of the public holiday here. Getting ready to head off to work (Yay) but should be home by mid-day and able to look in and add posts. Much cheers to all.
Melthune shakes the rain water from her eyes as the...beast? Beasts? erupt. She drops her pole and moves to place her helmet upon her head, un-sling her shield and draw her sword. As the raft rocks under the creature(s) assault she mutters, "Gon'a need bigger trees next time..."
And she resolutely takes a deep breath.......
Melthune lifts, carry's and poles to the best of her ability.
Melthune larches resolutely with her companions. She has no skills with bush-craft, or carpentry. But, she has eyes to see with and arms to carry.
As she carries her share of the gear and thence, under instruction, helps set up camp.
Melthune saunters along, case balanced easily on one shoulder. She seems quite pleased with her purchase.
Melthune has purchased and entire case of Troll Styptic at 1,200 GP. Still think I'm getting a good deal. White Fang had some interesting theories which were confirmed via PM (psychic messaging - I communicated with him using only my brain ;) I'm glad it's your brain and not that one you keep in the jar. :P
Yeah...at work. Seems like all I ever do is post from here. :P
Happy Birthday to him. Have a great week end. Much cheers.
Melthune will quietly discuss/organize the payment for the case of medicine over the tea and crumpets. (^_~)
Melthune smiles in reply/return, sipping at her tea. "While my companions have plans and I'll be helping them as much as I can, I have...ideas...of my own for what I'd like to call 'Home'..." Melthune sighs, "Though it will take a tad more learning and such before I'm ready to begin my dreams." Her eyes look off into the 'future' for a moment.
Melthune sits, slowly relaxing into the proffered Half-ling's chair. She shows her enjoyment at the Half-ling's offered meal and beverages. She listens intently to the discussion of 'settling'... thinking before slowly adding. "One might think that the low lands would be the better place for a farming community." She ponders, "Though the proper, in depth, defenses of such would take a good amount of time and work to establish..." She frowns slightly as she thinks upon the problem more.
Melthune, for herself, would purchase as much Troll Styptic as she can get her hands on. It is actually pretty amazing, alchemical, healing stuff (Provided you make the Fort save :P) She'd also buy the combined 'same' as every one else has suggested. Being eaten by things like This! would surely suck. :P Lengths of 'Iron rope' are interesting/useful. Collapsible ladders and poles. Collapsible boat (I think there's a mundane version now?) Heck... Feather token anchor and feather token tree are actually pretty cheap and amusingly useful if available magic items. Melthune also has a good amount of coin saved specifically to be spent on setting herself/hings up in Beacon. I'd actually prefer a large development on the plains (There are effectively 'Giant-resistant' fortifications available from history) ut as a starting base Mountains or coast is fine (Actual preference for coast)
Okay...not much time atm. 1) Okay, mountain sounds good for building. Winter sports are in this year, right? :P 2) Curse you Dain GM, now I can only think of Snaga as a three foot tall Zathras!
Melthune nods, "Aye...I'll come and see about getting some of the items on the shopping list."
Would such a large tent be called a 'Pavilion'? Am also quite happy to 'copy paste' the to buy list. Heck, fishing line, hooks etc as well? Maybe even nets? (Though I not that 'combat' nets are priced differently etc to 'Fishing' nets). Would a Pony/Donkey/Mule/Light horse also be worth having to free up carrying? Melthune didn't spend a lot(If hardly any) of her shares so she has money to go around. Much cheers to all.
Melthune stands quietly with the others. Her track record with town's folks has been under par of late.
Melthune nods at Shenkt's quiet words.
Melthune simply arches an eyebrow. "At the time , the thugs seemed far more intent on the exotic-ness of Teissa and those two companions. I was given a gang name and thier simple prolicavities of slave taking, little more. That myself and Zanya stayed after the fight and didn't just leave the bodies where they lay is the only reason the good Captain knows of us at all." Is Melthune's reply.
Melthune retires from the Lord's company with a proper salute in recognition of his office. At Glabius' outburst Melthune,
Remains calm, poised and neutral, letting Taissa step forwards. Though there might be a slight upturn to the corner of Melthune's lips at Glabius loss of demeanor.
Get well soon Master DM. Wishing you and yours all the very best. Hope everything is going swell for every one else.
Melthune bows formally in recognition of the honor bestowed upon herself having received the writ.
Melthune politely awaits her turn at introduction before she steps forwards and offers her, formal, hello (Fist on chest, full name etc). She notes to the Lord that she is both relatively new to the group and still has not seen or signed anything official from the town of Beacon in regards to herself, though she does indicate that she is more than happy and willing to do so. (As in see, peruse and sign) She adds that she will both join in the group's aims of establishing some more defenses for the town as well as trying to establish her own steading. When the Clerics, Doctors etc enter and begin their questioning she will reply quickly, concisely and politely. (As for the quarantine, she will point out the many weeks boat trip would have been a sufficient enough quarantine, should ay of the group be infected)
Melthune follows every one into the 'Back room'. As she traverses the tavern, her eyes stray over its interior architecture. Once inside, she finds some where reasonably comfortable to sit/relax and listens politely as every one chats. When Hack waves his pipe in her direction and asks her thoughts she takes a moment to gather them, over the settling of her meal and the alcohol she's consumed, before answering. "When I heard about Beacon and the potentials here. I was intrigued by the possibility of establishing my own holdings. Some where that was mine...not necessarily having to be beholden directly to family and kin and all the complicated politics that entails..." Melthune sighs as some thought. "I think I told people that?" Then she looks to Jenner and smiles, "Well...now I've definitely told you all that." Her gaze travels around the group. "I must admit that now, after our encounters in the South, I have an extra reason to want to start up my on holdings. It can be some where to strain people. Work up actual troops. Start getting organized in a way that we can take the fight back to those who would raise armies of ravaged minions." Melthune's gaze goes slightly distant. "I did offer Amun-ta help in reclaiming that which has been taken from herself..." Melthune shrugs. "Well..having string arms and shields will always be welcome some place."
Melthune returns Polux's salute with a raised cup of her own in reply.
Continues to relax and enjoy their drink and the ambiance of the surroundings.
Hope your lurgo passes quickly.
At work. Melthune thanks the serving lass with a tip of her cup and a silver piece for the information. As the girl moves away Melthune returns to watching the antics going on about the place. Including her companion's with those of the boisterous mob.
Melthune sips at the cup provided by the largess of Jenner. She makes a point of getting the attention of the serving lass and making sure to match Jenner's call, just being quieter about it. She herself waits for her chance to ask a question, 'Where is a good place to see a lay of the land? Are there any towers of promontories about? How good are the available maps?" If asked why she simply replies, "I am seeking land on which to build. I am here to join Beacon's community."
Melthune smiles as she leans forwards and takes one of the offered sweet-treats, "Thank you." She adds before pulling out a hanky and beginning to nibble daintily at the pastry. Using the handkerchief as a means of not spilling crumbs over her armor/self.
To the pub! To relax! ;)
Melthune will be proper, cordial and polite in her meeting with the town's representative. Formally saluting and completely introducing herself. Her first order of business will be to deposit pretty much all of her belongings where Taissa etc deem/indicate is safe. Then, she'll stay close to those who are wandering off exploring about town (Wearing arms and armor is deemed acceptable?)
During the journey North Melthine spends her time between duty and training. When on duty is wears her full armor, though keeping her helmet, shield and sword close by so tat she can help haul and lift. Her practice time is divided between sword katas and thence practicing in her full armor. As the ship comes into the harbor, Melthune's gaze takes in all that she can see.
She does her best to help with ropes and rigging as she ship comes into dock.
Once secured and the group is packed up and leaving the ship Melthune will stop, salutes and thanks the Captain for his training and the safe journey. She follows the others, taking guidance from those who know the town as to where to head.
At work. Shouldn't take too long to add some potions and such. Much cheers to all.
