^^; I think the problem here is that Maeve's enthusiasm for the adventure and total lack of experience at doing anything rougher than breaking up bar fights is getting the better of her. She has an unconscious person in front of her and ZOMG SOMEONE MIGHT BE BLEEDING OR STAKED TO A WALL OR ABOUT TO STAB US IN THE BACK WITH A TREE STUMP OR WHO KNOWS WHAT ZOMG ZOMG ZOMG elsewhere in the house.
Yes, she somehow managed to handle the "person we came to chat with turned into Clayface" more gracefully than that. I'm not sure, except that the procedure with Clayface there was at least simple - hit it until it stops moving.
Clayface, lol!

"I think he's just unconscious. He can wait for a few minutes."Guess I'll have to learn to tip better.
ha, ha :)
it actually sounded more like pruneface from Dick Tracy.
hey, clayface was a batman villian. i guess i didn't know that.
It's ok, I'm stable and searching the house is really our best bet. If the halfling had a stash of CLW potions or a wand I'd be up and running.
Just let me know when Kvalsir is done chanting. I abhor aberrant and abriged alliteration, but I might pop up another post of it if Kvalsir's still doing so tomorrow. ;)
Also, prepping a CLW and a Feather Step. Any preferences for other spells? Kvalsir also has an Enlarge Person from his domain.
Warning, guys: I'm in New England, and in an area that it looks like a lot of people aren't taking the hurricane warning seriously. Power outage is possible, and if it happens I'll likely be offline until Tuesday or Wednesday while waiting for it to come back, so if you don't hear from me that's why.

Best of luck! My parents are in Vermont, and they tell me its pretty rough in spots.
Yeah, quick update. Area I'm in did okay, but it looks like the rest of the state was pretty hard hit. Still, back at work for the time being, power's restored so an unplanned vacation isn't likely, and food is still available.
No inputs from Kvalsir for several days... everything okay?
Quick idea: The Licktoad Heroes are featured in "We Be Goblins," which is a free PDF on the site. I'd suggest either Mogmurch or Rita from there, as they're both amusing, but any of them might work.
Hehe... I knew it was the "prequel" but didn't know it was free - I'll check it out.
PS - are you guys "confused" because of the turn of the adventure, or just playing your characters confused? You did decide to try negotiation vs. attack...

i'm just finishing up WbG on the boards here- and it's alot of FUN. and THud kicks some dog TAIL.
PS. Heng is confused about how to collect ears off skeletons...
I think Maeve, being from Sandpoint, tends to think of Goblins as, well, common pests. Like particularly large rats that set people (and each other) on fire. Good doesn't necessarily mean "faultless" and this is one of hers. She'd be a bit less confused about, say, Kobolds or Mites since she doesn't know them as well. So the talking approach IS confusing her.
At least as much that it's working as that it's being tried, though.
Harlan understands what's going on, he's just surprised we talked to the goblins instead of killing them and lopping off their ears. Now he's trying to figure out how we can still get the ears, since we can't take them off skeletons, as Heng says.
Love it! =D
Don't you touch those big beautiful goblin EARS! Those are my people!
Any word from Kvalsir?
I checked all of his aliases yesterday and he hadn't posted on any of them recently.
Heading to Fargo at 0630 CST Saturday to play a Warmachine tournament, will return ~2300 CST Saturday.
Hmm...looks like there's a new system for campaigns up. Are we going to be using it?
Never mind.
Yeah, its pretty badass. Its linked all the threads and characters to single reference page. Very handy!! When I get some time I'll add notes to the campaign page.
What do you guys think?
Well, it looks good to me, which is why I asked.
Harlan likey.
Anything that reduces the number of bookmarks I have to keep track of just to keep up to date with everything interesting is a good thing.
Now if only they'd add stuff like private messages... :)
By the by, were you planning to use the Caravan and Relationship rules in the player's guide?
I was going to wait until after the first part was finished before broaching it, but quick answer - maybe and maybe. Its really up to you guys. I am all for using the relationship/romance rules, as long as you are all comfortable with it, and it doesn't get cheesy.
As for the caravan rules - again, if you, the players, want to work at developing and maintaining the (future) caravan, then I'm happy to use them. I'm not gonna force them on you, though, so if the consensus is "meh", then I'll relegate the mech to the background and focus on the story.
For all, let me know what you think of the rules for each and weigh in...
I've no plans to pursue any romance. Let me look over the caravan rules again, I'm a nerd for things like that so I'm willing to make up a character for the caravan and track that stuff if people want.
I'm considering pursuing a romance, or at least a relationship. We shall have to see.
As to the Caravan, I'm certainly intrigued to see how it works and would probably want some input.
I am not opposed to the romance side.
I am looking forward to the caravan.
As to the Caravan, I'm certainly intrigued to see how it works and would probably want some input.
For sure a party run thing I am just willing to do the paperwork for it.
As Maeve talks, the goblin's eyes gloss over and she yawns, then becomes intensely interested in something lodged in her ear.
...wow. Somehow, I wasn't really expecting that to work.
Well we're not exactly dealing with Stephen Hawking here. Hell we're barely dealing with The Underminer.
I'll give ya that.
But yeah, Maeve's proving she's not quite altogether upstairs, although I'm actively trying to be sure that it's not "Loonie" levels of disruptive. She will not attack a Great Wyrm 'Void' Dragon with her bare hands.....okay, she MIGHT do that, but not without a solid plan from the rest of the group for that to make sense.
You attack a Great Wyrm Void Dragon bare handed my solid plan is to fetch my brown pants from back home. Quickly. :P
^ Lol!
Gonna try this for an avatar. Not a redhead, but not...
....<REDACTED>
I should probably stop trying to do that. It never seems to work out well.
2 months in, today... just over 700 posts = fairly awesome, in my book! Keep it up! :)
Keep up the great work running it and I'll keep doing my best to play a slight crazy halfling gourmand.
*Sets off celebratory fireworks.*
Woot!
Well since we're at level 2 now this seems like a good time to ask how you handle leveling and hit points.
Well since we're at level 2 now this seems like a good time to ask how you handle leveling and hit points.
A little non-standard... use the following "dice", based on your class die:
d6 = 1d4+2
d8 = 1d5+3
d10 = 1d6+4
d12 = 1d7+5
... so you will always get at least half.
Relationship Scores... It hasn't played a signifcant role yet, but we should start tracking them. Here are the base values, based on CHA bonus and campaign trait. For leveling up, you each have a +1 to add to an NPC of your choice.
Ameiko - 4
Koya - 4
Sandru - 8
Shalelu - 4
Ameiko - 0

If you see anything I gooned up, let me know. Otherwise, you can keep track of them on your own sheets from this point on.
Additional Help... since we've lost Kvalsir, there's a notional open spot in the roster. Personally, I think your group has a nice balance, and I'm happy to continue with five players. However, I can open recruitment if you prefer. Thoughts?
We seemed to have everything handled from a hit people in the face angle, with plenty of charismatic and smart types for the non-combat, I'm ok with how it's been, but wouldn't oppose a sixth if the others feel we are lacking.
Otherwise, you can keep track of them on your own sheets from this point on.
Disregard this - I'll put the scores on the NPC pages (to follow).
