I'm really sorry guys. 4 weeks ago I started a second job to try to make ends meet. I had hoped to be able to keep up, but working 70 hours a week is not leaving me any time for meaningful posts and seeing the unread posts pile up is honestly causing me anxiety instead of being a fun creative outlet. I need to cut my games way back to preserve some sanity. Again, I'm really sorry to have to pull the plug on this game, but I need to do a little self-care. Best of luck going forward.
"I'm sure we are all willing, Sheriff. And with you back in town, we'll feel much better about being away for a bit."
Orin keeps the best notes he can about the watches plans and actions, knowing the report to Hemlock would be incomplete if not recorded while fresh. He finds himself incredibly grateful for Diego and the others stepping into leadership roles and focuses his time on assuring townsfolk that the threat has been dealt with.
I'm good with hanging on to the wand (shocking grasp) and fine with the distribution otherwise.
Orin goes along with the first group to re-enter the dungeon. After that, he is more comfortable letting less well guarded groups go in.
prior to the door opening, Orin expends the last bit of his magic to try to close some of Diego's wounds.
As Diego searches the areas, Orin keeps watch for other threats and makes sure the pack mule keeps up.
With the creature well in hand, and the mention of an apprentice, Orin make a point of looking around for other threats.
As unlikely as it is to work, Orin sees no better course of action than to keep up their assault. Drawing back his bow, he fires again.
Slowing his breathing and taking his time, Orin lines up another shot against the tiny pest.
Orin shakes off his lack of success so far and lets another arrow fly at the small flying imp.
Taking aim at the flying beast, Orin looses an arrow.
"Indeed, cautiously." Orin responds, moving to the door.
Orin moves closer to the front for a proper look, using his limited magic to aid him.
Orin nods, still loosening his muscles a bit. Refreshing the light while the others form up.
"Nice work, Nico." Orin finally says, shaking off the last of the paralysis. "Hard to believe such dangers were lurking under our feet for...who even knows how long. Keep your eyes peeled for any others."
Drawing back his bow, Orin takes a quick second shot before the creature is swarmed by his allies.
Orin wastes no time loosing an arrow at the creature.
Orin assists the retrieval of thier friend with mage hand, and offers to use it to retrieve any of the floating objects.
While thinking of ways to deal safely with the threat below, Orin tends to the wounds on Diego.
Eager to draw fire away from the ill, Orin moves into the room and takes a close up shot.
Gathering the group up, Orin gives a suggested plan to advance, and a bit of a pep talk.
Orin follows Diego as he searches, providing light, also looking over the small wound to see if it needs attention.
Orin follows Lief down the stairs, staying behind him. If I can get off a shot after moving:
Orin moves forward, next to Nico, then drops his lighted stone.
Also impressed by this new, non sleep deprived, Lief, Orin assists the sketch by alternating his light between the statue and the vellum. He also casts detect magic, looking over the statue and the weapon.
As the door opens, Orin rolls the stone with light on it into the room. Then readies his bow.
Moving forward, Orin drops the stone carrying his light spell and attempts to get off a shot before the others move in.
"I agree. Checking right quickly to make sure we won't be threatened from ahead and behind seems wise." Orin says motioning the group to proceed.
Orin follows behind Diego and Alistair, having them side by side if the tunnel allows. finding a small stone, he casts light on it and holds it high enough to be useful as they walk. "If all we find down here is a witch, we'll be lucky."
Very sorry for my lack of posts, holiday travel was very taxing. I'll try to get caught up on the posts I missed and get one of mine up soon.
"I certainly understand the emotions behind the fate of this creature. The Glassworks was a truly gruesome scene. But we did promise leniency for his cooperation, and hid did provide it. We will release it at nightfall, outside the city." Orin says, clearly bothered by the fact that his decision seems to go against at least a few of the group.
I'm pleased to say that tomorrow morning, I will be leaving for a trip to Italy with family for three weeks. I will check in when I can, but the days will be quite full. Please feel free to bot me to keep things moving. I'll talk to you all again soon!
Orin continues to tend to Ameiko while the others deal with her brother.
That sounds like an amazing break from reality. Good for you!
Orin rushes over to Amieko, dropping his bow, but holding on to the roped Fugh. After cutting the rope, He whispers a few incantations and does his best to treat the wounds.
"Are you awake, Miss Kaijitsu? Can you stand?"
"A quick charge, followed by subduing! What did you think I meant?!" Orin rasps, clearly becoming exasperated.
"Assuming you are correct, it is also likely that the snoring is a ruse. If it is the half elf, the ranged weapons of Nico and I will be more difficult to make use of than your swords in the tight space. And I'd suggest a quick charge into the room, rather than a stealthy one." Orin replies, motioning the plan into action.
"Good idea, Alistair. Take Lief with you too." Orin whispers back
Once the order is set, they proceed. If lighting becomes an issue, Orin casts light and refreshes it each round as they go.
"Agreed." Orin replies.
Forming up the others, melee's in front, ranged fighters in back, he motions the group further in.
Orin advances until he is almost too close and takes another shot.
For
Orin quickly steps up and takes a shot at one of the throwers.
I'm so sorry to hear about your pet, take all the time you need. The games should be a welcome escape, not a source of anxiety.
Orin moves into the building, drawing his bow as he moves.
Following Nico's lead, Orin steps between her and the goblin and slashes at the small creature.
Orin takes stock of the situation and formulates a plan.
"The rest of us are going in, by hook or by crook." he says after Jaymin trots off.
Careful Teamwork:
Careful Teamwork (Su): A detective uses performance to keep allies coordinated, alert, and ready for action. All allies within 30 feet gain a +1 bonus on Initiative checks, Perception, and Disable Device checks for 1 hour. They also gain a +1 insight bonus on Reflex saves and to AC against traps and when they are flat-footed. These bonuses increase by +1 at 5th level and every six levels thereafter. Using this ability requires 3 rounds of continuous performance, and the targets must be able to see and hear the bard throughout the performance. This ability is language-dependent and requires visual and audible components.
Drawing his sword, Orin looks to Diego, "The not-so-subtle way, my stalwart friend." he says, motioning him to 'have a chat with the door'.
