Things are going great. I'm really liking it. Don't worry too much. I'm looking forward to seeing what all you have ready to ambush us with! Heh.

Dude, I read on one of your other posts that you've been playing D&D for about a year. That's awesome! When I had been playing for a year I didn't feel up to DMing, and certainly not for a bunch of people I didn't know. When I finally did DM my first game after playing for about 18 months, it was pretty ... ordinary.
Anyway, my point is you're doing great and I think we're all really enjoying the game.
Anyway, back to the game...
Thanks, I've been DMing since I learned how to play. I was the one who taught the rest of my group.
Anyway, I just sent you the Grimmbold Manor map. I apologize to the unlucky person who gets two copies, one of which will be of a considerable size. Sorry about that.
Since everyone else will get to act in this fight before Anarath has an action ... everyone just keep in mind that we're looking for the architect, who is known to wander around the woods and ambush people with his bow...
Thanks for the player head's up. I was unaware he used a bow. Thought we just were looking for a hermit. That little remind just made me feel like we were sitting at a table as a group.
Yep, the captured kobold told us, before ... well, you know!
Yeah, its the little things like that ... I noticed that some of the other groups who pbp here use their discussion threads for little details and comments like that, I think it adds a good touch (and not to mention can help tactically).
Hope its not too "metagamish" for anyone's tastes?
well yelling out information or a warning has always been a free action at my table but, it might scare our guy off if he knew we were on to him.
Also, we don't *know* it's him. Could still be kobolds (perhaps unlikely during the day) or anything else. In the heat of the moment of a surprise attack I don't know that we'd all immediately think of the architect.
Besides, Anarath is behind the waterfall and not sure what's going on, so he's not in a position to shout a warning.
Hope its not too "metagamish" for anyone's tastes?
Its fine with me, I think it adds to the feel of being around an actual gaming table.
I fear you are correct and until I hear otherwise from Grimcleaver I am going to NPC Greis. If his absence will be permanent I will have to start looking for anther player.
Is anyone who is playing here interested in continuing to play in my homebrew world? If so I'll start planning the next adventure.

Awwwwww yeaaaaah!
Excellent, I already have an idea for the next step. By the time we finish Grimmbold Manor it should be ready. Most of you should survive. This isn't one of my extremley lethal campaigns.
I'm definitley not going easy on you guys! As you shall soon see..
Sometimes when I play with a group of power gamers I design very lethal campaigns.
Yes we are back to Corvin's turn. Your foe comes before all of you.
You were indeed. I beleive that you are now at 5 hit points.
By the way, I wanted to tell you guys that I am really enjoying DMing for you.
Also, Corvin, you are doing a great job playing someone who has a Wisdom of 8. I've never seen anyone play a low ability score so well.

At least, we hope this is roleplaying.
Yeah, it's RP. I just thought that Arctaris would get mad about it. I tend to toss stuff like that out there to keep people on their toes, and the reason I thought Arctaris wouldn't like it is my usual DM (Dirk Gently) HATES it when I do that. It's all cool.
And by the way, my random thought for the day:
Stand up man. Your life is on the line.
Stiff upper lip and all that, wot wot.
I say...
When was the last time any of you checked the campaign thread?
Sorry about the hold up. I thought one of you wasn't posting for some reason but in fact it was Greis' place on the initiative order. I forget that I am NPCing him. I hope Grimcleaver comes back soon so that he can take back control of Greis.
I hate to ask but, my PHB is packed (moving into my house. Yay! First time home buyer) is Bless rounds or minutes? I thought I would last a minute so everyone should be sporting a +1 to hit cause I thought I was able to get everyone in AoE.
I'm sorry about that. I do indeed forget about the different time zones. I'll keep that in mind. 12 hours it is.
just letting you guys know I have been busy moving and will continue to be moving. NPC me and I will be back ASWA. ( As Soon as Wife Allows)
Got it, good luck with the move.
Hang on, is this guy we're fighting an elf or a half elf? Not that it really matters right at this stage I suppose.
He seems pretty hard-core anyway. I don't have much in the way of magic to use against him, I was thinking of targetting either him or his weapons with a Grease spell next turn...
The Manor was built a long time ago right? So it would make sense that the architect is of a long lived race, such as an elf - think this is our man? I'm guessing so... and I noticed Dohrlok is dealing non-lethal damage...
He is an elf, relativley old but still very spry.
If we're supposed to capture him alive, that natural 1 of mine was a stroke o' luck.
Grimmbold Manor was built about 350 years ago, when the Illvessan Empire began to degenrate into a tyranny. So the elf is about 650 years old.

Hey guys, the posts are starting to get a bit few and far between in this game, and now Aubrey / Dohrlok is going to be away for two weeks. What do you guys think, should we keep going, (NPCing Dohrlok if needs be) or should we put the game on hold for two weeks or so, and then everyone start afresh?
I'm fine with either (and the final call is probably Arctaris'), just thought it was worth discussing.
Arctaris asked a while back if everyone was happy with the game and wanted to continue - is that still the case with everyone?
I like the game, like the group and like my character, and I'd like to continue, but it's a bit disheartening sometimes when there's only one post (or none) after several days. OK, I'm a bit guilty of that as well, as I normally don't get to post over the weekend, but I can usually make at least one post every week day. What does everything else think, are we all still into it? I am.
I'm still happy to DM. ,will you have limited internet or no internet access? Would you be okay with me if NPCing you when you couldn't post? Before I make a decision about how I want to handle this I need some feedback about what everyone else wants to do.

Sorry Arctaris, it's not me who will be away, it's Aubrey the MAlformed (who plays Dohrlok) - he has said on another thread that he will have little or no internet access until June 2.
I'm more than happy to keep going, but lately only Dohrlok, Corvin and I have been posting regularly. Just wondering whether, with Dohrlok away, we should take a break? I dont want to be the only one posting...

I don't really care either way. However, if it was my decision, I'd say to continue with the game(using the 24-hour rule, of course).
Sorry, I know that Dohlrok is Aubrey, that was just a typig error.
