Anyone ever wonder why Peter had all those sedatives while on date with Dana?

Well,... Dang.
I wonder NOW.O_o
I will probably never be able to un-think that thought when I watch that movie now.
>_<

Sidequest- Justin's best spell to incapacitate the guards (and remain invisible) would be Black Tentacles. BUT That would also block the entrance to the fortress, and would catch at least Martin and Alessia in it's radius, probably Karrin too.
SOooooo,... probably not. :P
(Been a while, gotta get my head in the game(s)) ;)

Because Bill Murray ad-libbed a lot of his lines and has a dark sense of humor? Also, isn't Thorazine an antipsychotic? Better question: why is so much of my mental space occupied by movie trivia? Don't I have something more useful to put there?

Back online but I probably won't be able to read and respond I/C in any meaningful way until the weekend.

Apparently not??
(I'm OK with that.) ;)
Storyteller Shadow |

LOL, of course the game comes alive again once I have a newborn and zero time to post, will try and catch up this weekend.

Storyteller Shadow |

OK, caught up, will try and stay caught up as time permits. I have but one waterskin so before we go, I'd like to purchase a few more if in the desert we will stay!

Hamar of the Hyena Tribe |

I have 89 GP left.
Approximately how long will that single Amphora last or should I ask our new guide I/C?

Hamar of the Hyena Tribe |

OK, thanks Justin!
Hamar will grab 4 more waterskins then, just in case. (I believe that's 4 GP).

Ragadolf |

Just FYI- according to my notes on our group loot, we have about 1,600 GP left from group treasure after all of our adventures.
So, I think we CAN buy everyone their own camel, and hope that they survive to sell back again.;) as well as travel supplies as/if needed. (waterskins, amorphas of Mothers milk, travel rations, etc)
But as Justin has been noting to himself, their funds are no longer 'Scrooge McDuck' levels of rich. SO they need to watch their expenditures. This isn't the last travel guide or mounts we'll have to buy.
Probably. ;)
I just need to know who is buying their own supplies/mounts/etc, and who needs group funds. SO I can keep track of what we have left. :)

Hamar of the Hyena Tribe |

Alright then, one camel and 4 waterskins from the slush fund it is!

Ragadolf |

Oh yeah, I was under the impression that we were being advised to get a camel for each of us. Presuming it is easier and faster to ride across the sand that walk across it. :)
Final count for anyone buying a camel with their own funds? Or using Party slush funds? I'll do the math when I get the count! :)
WHat I think I have so far-
Guide- has his own camel, Do we need to provide his rations?
Hamar- 1 camel & 4 waterskins from SLUSH fund?
Justin- 1 Camel, 1 Amorpha 'Mother's Milk', 4 waterskins, slush fund.
Merle- ?
Alessia- ?
Karrin- ?
Mel- 1 Camel, (need more rations/waterskins?) from slush fund
(I feel like I'm missing someone(s). I may be confusing the side quest thread in my head with this thread.) ;P

Ragadolf |

Well, Im certainly no expert, but I would imagine that a camel is considerably faster than any usual humanoid walking. (?)
And camels are (supposedly) notoriously cranky, I suspect they would prefer not to carry any of us anywhere. :)
Karin, I suppose we can ask our current cleric to create water in an emergency, but I suspect we should at least bring some with us. Just in case. ;)

Ragadolf |

And apologies for my own unusual non-prolific absence.
RL sucks. This week at least.
For a change, I wont bore you with details. Suffice it to say that my week STARTED out with unhappy info from my Dr post-surgery visit, and went slowly downhill from there. :P
We are now on Spring/Easter Break, and I look forward to a week of (semi) regular posting and relaxation. :)
Hope all are well, and See you all in the threads!

Everything ok? I hope just a minor setback?

Eh, I hope so.
Mainly NOW they wonder if maybe a teensy bit of 'evil cancer' managed to escape. (They did catch it early, Thank Heaven, but biopsy said it was the aggressive type)So MRI, consultations, and maybe a trip to (literally) stick my @$$ in a microwave. JUST for a little bit. :P
Just add that to the 'usual' RL shenanigans, Work, bills, car repairs, etc etc, (ALL of which cost $$$) and everything seems bigger than it probably is. :)
It will be fine. It is just going to take a while longer than I had hoped. ;P
(Thank you for asking) :)

Ragadolf |

Hi all!
Hope everyone is doing well?
Or at least as well as we can?!? ;P
It is end of semester time for University, meaning I am even busier than 'normal' (If you can imagine such a thing) ;)
EVERYone wants to put off their final performances and recitals until the last possible minute.
Welcome to the last, LAST minute. :)
I will be checking in as often as possible, I promise! :)

Hamar of the Hyena Tribe |

DM, how much is my speed affected by the sands? That will make the difference as to whether I try and use my speed or my stand up Rage in the fight.
Thanks!

Patrick Curtin |

This is all I can find. No mention of slowing move speeds:
A sandstorm reduces visibility to 1d10 × 5 feet and provides a –4 penalty on Perception checks. A sandstorm deals 1d3 points of nonlethal damage per hour to any creatures caught in the open, and leaves a thin coating of sand in its wake. Driving sand creeps in through all but the most secure seals and seams, chafing skin and contaminating carried gear.

It’s a specific power, not a spell, and targets undead. You will have another save tomorrow, assuming that becomes relevant
This is probably going to make me sound like an idiot for asking this, but is this tomorrow as in 24 hours in-game time, or after sunrise, or tomorrow as in Sunday? (Sorry, it's been a long week...)

Yeah... this isn't going to go well.

All good. It’s just a potpourri of various things. The days are stuffed solid, and I can’t seem to get the time to settle down for a good gaming session. Now we have Alessia switching teams, and that’s gonna be a harsh thing frreal
Yep, gonna be a tough one here!

Oh believe me, I get it!
Seems no matter how hard I try, between work and home and (insert constant grumbling about health issues here) I either can't keep up,. OR I can't find the desire/energy to get everything done.It never rains, but it pours right? ;P
I do promise to TRY harder to keep up and (actively) involved.
