Do we need 8 hours rest to recover? I thought physical exertion required only 1 hour rest.
I have no problem with resting right now. I think Thomas is exhausted and half the party is also fatigued. Plus, I could use a refresh on my spells.
I vote for resting 8hr so Koayi can regain her spells. . None of us slept last night. And it will give the caravan time to put some distance between us.

1 hour of rest removes exhaustion. 8hrs of rest removes fatigue.
I will be offline until Sunday night. Bot me as needed.
DM HolyWater, and Those in the Game,
Due to some events in real life, I’m in a position where I need to cut back on my gaming dramatically. My grandfather is dying of cancer, and my goal of graduate school is looking further and further away with each day. I’m staying in several games on the forums, but I’ve decided I need to cut back, and this is one of the games I’m withdrawing from.
Koayi as a character isn’t as interesting to play as I thought she’d be. She’s hyper-specialized, which makes her options limited in combat, and her personality isn’t one I can accurately play, given what’s going on in my life.
I’ve enjoyed playing with all of you, as you seem like strong role-players and good character builders, but my position is what it is. Hopefully, I’ll see you in games in the future, and thanks for the opportunity to play with you while I could. Please move me to inactive.
I'm sorry,
Koayi
Honestly I was enjoying your approach to the game, but I do understand RL needs to take precedence - PbP can become extremely absorbing at times.
I am very sorry to hear about your grandfather, and I wish him, you, and your family, all the best.
That is a shame but thanks for letting us know. Hope you can get some quality time with you grandad and wish you all the best.
Koayi thanks for letting us know rather than just disappearing. . I for one was very much enjoying Koayi.
But RL always takes precedence. . Hope things work out for you and your family

If we can get back to 1/day that would be awesome. I will try to help if you get stuck with making decisions or whatnot.
I'm sad to hear that you'll be going, but family comes first. Best of luck.
Sorry to see you go, Koayi, your PC was very fun. Best of luck, and take care of yourself.
I humbly submit a vote for picking up the pace!
I second that motion ;)
Don't know how much of a stretch of imagination it would be, but I would be willing to switch to an arcane character if needed, since I was the last to arrive and whatnot.
Not hard to imagine a wizard traveling to Rappan Athuk to quench a thirst for power and more power ;)
I would rather not be put into a primary healer/buffer role. I don't think a warpriest would be up to it. Think you should stay as is.
We need of both a dedicated arcane and a dedicated divine caster. The divine being more important than the arcane.
Lars as a warpriest won't be able to fill the divine role.
It depends if

These website maintenances...
Do you guys have a direction you want to proceed in? If following the caravan at a walk pace you won't catch up.
Continuing the same direction as the caravan
Guys, just a heads up to say I will be travelling on work for the whole next week - not really sure what kind of internet access I'll have, so can't guarantee any posting, but I'll try to drop a line whenever I can. Best bot me as needed though.
The heads up is appreciated. . Have a good trip
This game fizzing out?
Hope not.

I am here.
I am also here! Just not quite sure what to do next
I think we're all waiting on the DM at this point.
Yep, I'm guessing the same.
The question is: anyone had any news from our GM? Its kinds frustrating not knowing anything. Just hope nothing crappy happened to him/her in RL.
I'm with ya. hope nothing happened to him. I don't mind having a game put on pause. We all know thing happen RL. just let us know
I am back folks, apologies for the missing DM. The issue keeping me away has been dealt with and we can now proceed with the pace.
good to haer
good to hear. welcome back
So I joined the boards in Feb to get my RP fix for the first time in over a decade. Was accepted into 4 games. So far 2 out of 4 have fizzed out. The 3rd goes days without posts , aarrgh.
Rappan you're my only hope! May the 4th be with you
Fingers crossed too! I'm traveling this week, but will try to keep up!
I'm hoping not but I'm a bit sad at the moment that only 2 people have posted since my last update...
Didn't seem like much needed responding, but I did so now. I mean we don't know anything about the location of the place and we're following the caravan.
Unfortunately for my posting speed I'm traveling this week, and can only post via my phone. Will get up a quick post now though!
I did post, but still, was under the impression we were ready to move out.
I think everyone was thinking the plot was being advanced by my post where we continue along the caravan road upon waking
And not knowing what else to do we had a lull in posting waiting for a new GM post.
You as the GM may have been waiting for more than just Sorek to post about getting started back on the caravan road upon waking in the morning and so we got to this standstill.
In the future to avoid these days of momentum killing dead space maybe you can do a roll call to make sure players are still here and prompt them if you are waiting for actions (posts)
As far as I can tell continuing along the caravan road is the only course of action at this point.
We've already tried convincing the lovebirds to go back to the caravan. That didn't work so we're stuck with them as we're not going to send them out into the wilderness to die alone.
Koayi is npc now. . Not sure how you want to handle her. . Keep her as a permanent npc which makes for more bookkeeping on your part (not good as you have enough to keep track of).
Or whether we should recruit a new arcane player. . Aggrammar volunteered to fill that role instead of the evangelist cleric. But we need a cleric MUCH more than an arcane caster at this point
My vote, recommendation, 2 cents, whatever is to continue as we are without adding a new player filling the arcane role. . And see if we can build some momentum with consistent posting over a good period of time before even thinking about recruiting an arcane replacement
It's your call HolyWater on what you want as far as post rates. . You can set a minimum of 1 post a day with a player being botted after that with multiple instances of being botted as criteria for being dropped from the campaign.
Or you can run a slower campaign with posting bare minimum every other day and nothing on weekends. .
This is written communication (sometimes nuances are lost) I want to make sure that I am not coming off as being pushy or telling you how you should run this campaign I am NOT.
Just my 2 cents as someone new to these boards and is frustrated at having 3 out of 4 pbp die on me in the past 2 months.
My promise to you and the players in this campaign is that if I will be unable to post I will let you know beforehand so I can be botted without holding up the flow of the game. . Other than that I am good for at least 2 posts a day but will happily conform to whatever post rate you decide to set.
I'm still here but I've been unsure of what to do. I've been wondering the last few days if there was anyway to assume an arcane role with Koan. Perhaps by multi classing once we hit 2 or something?
I agree with Sorek.
I agree with Sorek. He said we moved on, so I didn't see any need for a post. I supposed it makes it look like we're not active, but when nothing is happening in game, people aren't terribly motivated to post. No doubt once we get to the dungeon, we'll have more activity than we know what to do with, but right now it's rather slow.
Ok, I'll move it along then.
I'm back from traveling, and can now post at normal speed.
I think this is a great group, and I'd hate to see the game drift apart. I don't know if my vote counts for anything, but I'd be very happy for some DM railroading that takes us to the beginning of the dungeon and gets the action started. Just my two cents!
I would be fine with that. Whatever it takes to regain momentum.
Yes please. Drive us and drop us off right at the action lol.
I hate to say it. But looks like we're dead in the water here. Which is too bad. I really wanted to play Rappan, and I was very much enjoying this group.
Now instead of spending time trying to figure out:
how to bring Koan out of the dark and into the light (or at least gray)?
why Lars likes that flask so much? (Sorek has never been drunk)
what Aggrammar was doing out in this wilderness all by himself?
how we are going to manage to find enough food in this wilderness to feed the HUGE Good Thomas? Without a caravan full of stored food we're going to have to find a deer a day to feed just Thomas. (Thinking about this Sorek is very glad that he can just will his bodies needs into submission. Food can be so messy. It gives him more time to do productive things like meditate or practice his martial forms.)
Plus if he doesn't eat he doesn't need to find out what bears really do in the woods
Instead of figuring out all these things... I am currently creating characters to submit for recruitment for other PBP when all I really want to do is go down that damn well

"Nooo...."
That's the sound of Good Thomas falling down the well.
There's got to be a way to keep this going. DM Holy Water, do you think it would help if one of us ran the module for a bit? I'd be up for pushing things along as a temp DM if that might help...
