We haven't gotten it either, and have been exposed a couple of times. Knock on wood as well. I still keep a cloth mask shoved in my purse, though the last time I used it was in a theater to block the scent of the heavily perfumed patron behind me (!!).
Sweet! Hope the job offers keep rolling in, Rodalas! FYI our DM worked all day Saturday so is delayed on next post. Also we will be out of town - and out of cell service - Thursday through Sunday. Hanging with friends at a castle (Ravenwood Castle). Hoping for good weather and good times.
Being wanted (for an interview) is awesome!
I would not have been unhappy with the Khitt Khatt Brrigade, but it was not in my top 3 votes. :-) You rock Baldrick! Fancy voting sheet and everything! Muchas gracias.
....and then he back swings for a lightning fast extra hit!
I hope the eye surgery turns out well for ya! My mom was able to go without glasses for the first time in her adult life for many years afterwards. I'll probably need to get it someday, too.
I permanently hurt my shoulder at Quominar's age...don't have to be old to be old lol.
I think fights should be a bit of a challenge, sometimes necessitating a pause to rest and recover or some other action that makes us players think and take stock of what might be coming up before we react. But not so much we have to retreat back to town and start over (it is after all a game). Dunno the last few fights, before this part of the adventure, were maybe a bit easy but we've got some excellent role players so it keeps being enjoyable.
Ye got too much hair te see yer hair! Bwahahaha! He stares into his horn of meade. Good meade, Turq! It'll grow HAIR on your chest! He drains it while laughing at his own silly joke.
Umikh is very happy for Baldrick, and wishes him very well on that adventure. They probably talk shop for a bit, tips on setting up shop and all that. Making sure Baldy has the tools he needs and all that. So Turq! How's things? And who's your friend? He formally introduces himself to Quominor.
More chances to swing my sword? Bring it. Also totally cool with a different option if you find something fancier you like.
Umikh whoa’d at nearly being shanked by the trap. He listens to everyone speaking, and seeing as Baldy’s translating he doesn’t have anything to add yet. Upon hearing the Barb about having weapons out and ready, he relaxes his stance but he ain’t putting it away.
We could rub soot on our faces and pretend to be duergar he muses, seeing no other way in
I'm glad you all are finding good/better positions within the teaching fields. It is a thankless and tragically underpaid profession. And it's not going to get much better in the next few years (but maybe after that fingers crossed). We don't have any skin in the game, no kids, but I do wish things were different. Just, yikes. Also thank you for putting up with the hellions as well as the kids thirsty to learn.
Facepalm. The company I work for gets excited every time they buy or design some new assessment tool, and I'm thinking doesn't the focus need to be a bit more on better teaching tools? Oh well.
Umikh nods his head at Netz. SO much better now. I could march all day in this! he laughs, looking around to see if everyone is doing as well as they are.
Umikh is grateful to Horschach for the opportunity to get back to banging out the old steel. At first he thinks to make a simple utilitarian axe, and once he's back into his groove, Horschach encourages him to go bigger. He tries to remember how old his family heirloom of a battle axe actually is, and realizes that since his family have been city dwellers for some time, it might have seen the most use fairly recently. Umikh remembers his parents, his elders, and the wonderful work they did back in the old days. He recalls being taught how to hit the metal at an angle just like this (as he does the action himself here and now), how to feel the grain of the metal, how to temper in just the right fire. As the thoughts in his head give way to the actions of his hands, he is surprised to find a lovely longsword taking shape. His focus brings him peace, and he is exhausted when Horschach tells him to take a break. Never expecting to see this fine work again, he profusely thanks the master for the time at the forge and takes a well deserved rest.
The tales of Baldrick and company?! Heh, he really is a cool character. I think you all have had really shining moments :-) Umikh's over here just trying to figure out what to do with himself. I'm hoping he becomes some great fighter or local hero but who knows.
He's a Hill Dwarf, yes. (https://ddb.ac/characters/37136943/e3yxsU)
What if... Let me know if you like this... What if you were a splinter off the Rockseekers that were responsible for the Lost Mine of the Phandelver, the Wave Echo Cave? I know they are actually up North, between Waterdeep and Neverwinter, but that was the chord that was struck when reading your clan history. It's okay if it is not what you were looking for, just let me know what you think? Sorry, thought I'd replied. I'd prefer to keep the current backstory, with the same story, though I'm not married to the location. My thought is that he will come to accept both the good and bad about his family, and maybe start a new clan/offshoot focused on smithing. After the adventuring bit of course and who knows where that will take him.
Umikh would simply state his name, if asked, as he is embarrassed at what his family has become. Perhaps someone can remind him that his history is still one to be proud of.
Woo hoo I'm buffer! Not to be confused with in the buff, nope, that's a different character, lol. >flex<
Aaaaand that answers my question. Shoulda read over here first.
Turq, Baldrick and Umikh have the same plan - to chat up the smiths and go from there. Perhaps they have seen the black stuff and can point us to a person, or maybe they've heard a rumor.
I guess eating at McD's is scary....ha ha. Cool, sounds like near everyone had a fun time this last weekend. Yay!
We won Halloween! Heh heh. It was a fun weekend of games, puzzles, brain benders and a whole lotta luck. The costume contest was really fun, and we learned to play Crazy Moose.
Oooo Shang-Chi was good! Also eating is fun. (!!)
I went with the bracers of keeping warm, and also picked up a short bow and arrows so I have a ranged weapon just in case. The idea of an earring whispering to Umikh was not pleasing to the character (!!).
Does it count that Khitt / Greycastle has been working at the local university lately?! Pretty neat so many of us are in or allied in Education.
Umikh runs over to the other group of ravens and slices into the group in just the most perfect way. Even Umikh himself is impressed. The birds are probably not.
It's FRIIIIIIDAAAAAAAY! It's been a long week, felt it needed to be said. Hope everyone gets to enjoy a nice weekend.
Umikh will explain that he remembers a frequent customer explaining at length how resurrection works, that you need the perfect moon alignment and a holy symbol and a specific incantation. Or well the moon part for sure, another customer had started arguing about what else was needed. Customers were both picking up dinner knives as he recalls, it had to have been a slow day for all that chat.
In a stage whisper to Rodalas, [/b]Tell her some of our group is gonna go see the spirits next, with this one's kid, reckon we can ask 'em. Just not right,[/b] he finishes, shaking his head.
Sweet! I love the actors and the story was good. I'm all for reusing characters when they change it up, as long as it's not too off base.
Welp, guess this is the one Roddy...Rodalas talked about. And he runs up to
Umikh shakes sense into his head and looks around. He pops up, fumbling for his axe, Where'd they go, what's going on?
Latin....Latin America.....my brain hurts. I have thoughts about parents like that. Mad respect for teachers like you who have a tremendous amount of patience to deal with that...stuff.
Umikh would ask the others if they think these people understand the gravity of the situation? And then shrug it off and try to figure out what happened to this dead druid. Having no medical or arcane skills, he just observes the remains, perhaps digging around in pockets and examining the clothing for clues.
ALL DWARVES ALL DAY! That's my vote anyways lol. (Playing the dwarven fighter.)
And now that song will be stuck in my head all day. Which is fine, I've seen the animated movie at least a hundred times (not exaggerating). I like Aesh's version!
Ooo ooo me me! I wanna play!
I'm actually grateful for people sharing what they feel like after the shots. Good to be prepared and know what to expect. No idea when we'll qualify for them but I hope it's soon.
Umikh sidesteps the charging owlbear and takes a wack at it from the other side (opposite Turq).
Umikh audibly gasped at the suggestion that a trap was to lure in dogs, but upon examining and thinking about it, he agrees this is probably to attract bears. Or people. Well we best be on our guard regardless. Does anyone see tracks of the ones what laid down this trap? Perhaps we can follow them. Or wait, maybe they'll come to us?
