Out of Character (OOC)

Very nice

Thank you, I think @deadpool_qc's is pretty amazing as well. And can I say that we are in some royal trouble with 2 of us down affected by the ghosts...

Howdy, friends!

No matter where in the world you all are I know everybody's having to make some difficult adjustments. I'm going to keep this game going in case it helps you guys cope the same way it helps me. But at the same time, I'm not going to add to your stress in this already stressful time by bugging you about posting rate. If you're here, you're here. We'll go slow. It's okay. If you need to be away to keep yourself and your loved ones safe, healthy, and sane, that's okay too, and I wish you the best. We'll be here for you when this is all over.

Jabes

Hoping for the best for everybody, I'll be trying to post a regularly as I can. (Love your game Jabes!)

I'm with Deadpool, GP has been a place for me to come chill for a bit while things are going crazy around us. I'm trying to keep my kids on the level with their school work but I check as often as I can.

You guys are amazing!

Loving this campaign. I’ll be posting when I can!

Does that mean level up for Akh ?

Yep! But let's do the End of Session stuff first. Take turns answering these questions:

1. One resolved bond (if any)?
2. Did you fulfill your alignment at least once this session?
3. Did we learn something new and important about the world?
4. Did we overcome a notable monster or enemy?
5. Did we loot a memorable treasure?

Awesome! So that's potentially 4 XP assuming Deadpool agrees with #1.

I agree for Swordman's #1

1. One resolved bond (if any)?
--Swordsman will play an important role in the events to come. I have foreseen it! (Despite the great distances, and against all odds, he has found a the scabard fitting with his sword. Destiny is arming him against a great threat in the future !)
2. Did you fulfill your alignment at least once this session?
--Discover something about a magical mystery. (Akh discovered the truth of God-Pharaoh Khut-hotep's "imprisonment"...)
3. Did we learn something new and important about the world?
--The God-Pharaohs can still have a hold on this world.
4. Did we overcome a notable monster or enemy?
--Necheptso (didn't kill him, but he didn't kill us and that's a victory for me lol)
5. Did we loot a memorable treasure?
--The Scintillating Orb.

1. The spirits spoke to me of a great danger that follows Akh...I don't know if that is resolved. Maybe?

2. Did I help someone grow? I helped them to grow in confidence in the desert. Maybe.

3.,4,5...same as the others.

Great answers, everyone! I'm looking forward to hearing from Soro.

Refer to the XP Tracking thread. If you have reached 8/8 then you advance to 2nd Level (I believe Jana already did, because she reached that milestone ahead of everyone). Guidelines for leveling up can be found here. As always, don't hesitate to ask for help.

If you are leveling up, it would be great if you could post some narrative description involved in "how" your character hones their skills and unlocks a new move, new spell, increases an ability score, etc. Make it grand. You can even include the other characters, or you can make up some NPCs. This happens during your time with the Dunestriders, in their home, the Golden Sky Oasis, so any NPC you create should be a member of that halfling tribe.

Write new bonds to replace the resolved ones. Note that "resolved" can mean not just completely explored, or no longer relevant, but can also evolved or altered in some way.

Record changes made to your character in your individual character threads:
● Jana
● The Swordsman
● Soro
● Akh

1.) I think I resolved "Ahk does not understand life in the wild, so I will teach them." when I lead the way through the myrmeleon field.

2.) Does not killing the giant bees count as "Help an animal or spirit of the wild"

3-4.) same as everyone else

5.) I looted the "small coiled cobra carved out of human bone" from the raiders.

So both 1 and 5 are from chapter 1 but we didn't actually do an end of session wrap-up before moving to chapter 2 so I thought they would still be fair game.

What would we pick for new bonds? Is there a list to chose from or do we just pick them?

1. Yes. As long as Akh agrees.

2. I don't know if that was necessarily helping, but I realize I didn't really give you any opportunities to play out your alignment. Yeah, mark XP. For sure, during your time with Jana's tribe there would have been much helping of animals.

5. Ah yes. That trinket is still a mystery. Questions 3-5 are meant to be about what you did as a group, although your group has yet to come across a group treasure.

Yes, stuff from chapter 1 are included. We've had a couple of chapters but really still one "session."
You'll find suggested bonds in your class playbooks but you can borrow from other classes, or even make up your own.

Akh agrees !

Ok I have figured out a nw bond. Let me know if this works:

Akh's level up...
-new bond ? (Swordsman has been nameless for to long. I will find him a name.)
-new move (Know-It-All)
-new spell (Telepathy)
- Int+1 (16 =» 17)

SJoyner72 & deadpool_qc: I approve of those proposed bonds, but you two need to mutually agree to them. :-)
