That reminds me, now that it's just a few of us, should you re-open signups? It seems like a good point to have someone jump in, especially since unless our cruel taskmaster you have a lot more action planned I assume we're going to end the day relatively soon.

Ooooh, and after six months, do we finally get to soar to the heights of level 2?[lol]

The day should end after this bit, and you all should progress by the start of the next day. I just need to get some RL stuff sorted out tomorrow, and we should be back to our regular schedule. Will consider canvassing for new players when things settle.

Can I check: are the rest of you around?

I'm around, though that's not too much help.

It's been fun.

Sorry for the absence, I get piled up with stuff to do sometimes but I'm still here!

I am merely an agent of 'random'. Because you know, the order is only inside our minds. Out here, there is only Chaos.

I may be joining this game, hello everyone!

I'm not entirely sure what's going on right about now in the game so I'm having trouble figuring out where Vella should come in.

My character is in the signup thread, if anyone wants to take a look at it. I need to fill in some names, but I kept some of the names blank in case Pyrite wants to use them as NPCs or something.

I can still hail the Horde even though the company has shamed us. Strength and Honor even if Blizzard has neither.

Basically right now we're interrogating the hobbit version of Edward Elric in the basement of a brothel because he and his animated armor buddy attacked us when we were investigating a burned-down mage's tower.

After that, presumably we're going to find an inn to spend the night so that we can have our first long rest in 4 months. [lol]

That inn would probably be the best place for Vella Maria to jump inn. [lol] Perhaps the innkeeper hires her to entertain the guests?

I only said "presumably", but I have no ironclad idea if that is what will actually happen, or if Pyrite is going to have us all find alternative accommodations, or hell, have a bunch of halfling ninjas bust in from out of nowhere and knock us all out with sleeping gas flasks as they rescue their buddy.[nja]

Would those be Assassin Rogues or Shadow Monks?

The Monster Manual's Assassins are CR 8, so I think we'd probably be dealing with Scouts and Spies since they're at CR 1/2 and 1, respectively.

Ahem. Actually, you should be discussing the night's accommodations in-game later on, because the current innkeeper is... shall we say, presently indisposed.

I read the thread, and I finished up my character sheet.

Gotta say, I'm still a tad confused.

Regarding going back to the inn:

  • Pros:
    • Free rooms.
    • Not a brothel.
    • No other annoying customers.
  • Cons:
    • Dead body in one of the rooms.
    • Cops probably keeping an eye on it.
    • Robbers probably keeping an eye on it.
    • Pissed off necromancer probably keeping an eye on it.
    • Terrible service.
    • Not a brothel

Poor Vella. She goes all the way to Golimar and she can't stay at the inn because there was a murder.

Not every town she visits can be on the scale of something like Waterdeep.

Incidentally, what are some other places in this setting that Vella could've visited in her travels, either in her days in the troupe or by herself later?

She could have always visited Vondal's home of... of... uh... ah shit, this is embarrassing.

Also, to the current players: Sorry, I should really have rolled for Int / Wis in the last post, but I was busy.

Well Vondal's question to Al-Qina wasn't really about whether or not the skull actually was the skull, so the wisdom/intelligence rolls don't affect the fact that he's waiting for a reply.

I should have been more clear, then, but I'll probably explain it in-game with the next post, if we get a chance: Al-Qina has no way of knowing if the skull he got off the halfling is the same skull that was in the inn last night, but he will tell you, given the chance, that it's probably not the skull of Neruok based on the description he was given. You're the only ones who can actually tell him that it wasn't the skull you saw in the inn either. (I wonder if anyone prepared a detect magic spell, hmmm?)

More importantly, though: kyef - would you like to roll for Intimidation, Deception, or Initiative?

I used to, but I burned through both of my available spell slots a few months back when I was healing everyone up. So I can't cast it, short of making everyone wait around ten minutes while I get the ritual going.
