OOC Chat & General Riffraff

Talk about stuff here.

FYI, we'll start off with a meeting between the party and your client: Baron Merrix d'Cannith. His file is in The File Room.

Oooooo, bigshot!

And making new warforged too, naughty naughty!

So, how does healing work in the Mournland in 5E? Asking for a friend. :)

I looked it up, and we can sum it up with "the Mournland is weird." Healing is impeded in some areas, and other weird stuff happens with magic too.

EDIT: The dark-grey mists around the Mournlands absolutely nullify healing while you are within them. That much is certain. Once you are in the Mournland though, it depends on the area you're in.

Do we actually have healing in the party?

Artificers have healing. Bards COULD. Paladins have some.

Bard does. But I am not playing her like a classic bard, but I do have some healing

They have that swong of rest at least. and being a warlock, I insist on my short rests! :D

I submitted a partially filled-out character sheet, in the processing of transferring the details from D&D Beyond to the GamersPlane sheet. Mostly just have to finalize equipment and might change a couple spells. All the major details are set.

A short intro to Eberron and its history

I DMed with natbob and he's decided to drop the game. I'll open it up for another person, but we'll start up soon.

Make sure you each have chosen a common and uncommon magic item (some are missing one or both). Feel free to DM me with questions. Also, as much as I will try to interweave backstories into things as we go, that may not happen right away.

Hey everybody thanks for letting me join, I'll have a character up later today.

Welcome Coachthor!

Thank you, glad to have the opportunity to play something new and meet some new players

Ever write multiple paragraphs only to have your browser crash? :( I'll post as soon as I can. Sorry everybody.

"Let me count the ways".. ah.. YEAH ... and it greatly sucks.

I know that feeling well... thanks for all your efforts MrA!

Browser crash, or did you hit backspace in the wrong place? :p

Oh yeah, always fun... Quite greatful GP remembers the post in some cases.. not the char sheets though...

I thought I had copied the text onto the clipboard, and wanted to refresh the thread just incase there was a new post. Turns out I did NOT copy, and when I hit back, it was gone.

Footage of the event.

Hahaha. Truth.

When I used to do this several years ago. (Though freeform, not with systems) I got into the happy of copying everything before hitting post. Need to get back into it

I think the IC thread is getting a bit sloppy. On one end there's the discussion with the baron, then there's people who IC and OOC are discussing shopping, and then I would like to RP out the part where the baron leaves and I discuss what we should buy, but some people already time traveled.

Good point Khulod. I'm moving my shopping list over here:

Cleansing Stone (40gp)
Crowbar (2gp)
Everbright Lantern (50gp)
Feather Token (20gp)
Hammer (1gp)
Healer's Kit (5gp)
5 Healing potions (50gp)
Imbued Wood Focus, Fernian Ash (50gp)
10 Iron Spikes (1gp)
5 Sacks (0.05cp)
Shovel (2gp)
Signal Whistle (0.05gp)
Warhammer (15gp)
Total: 146.1gp

If nobody else wants it, I'll snag that +1 warhammer for 487 gold, bringing my total to 683.1gp. I'll also deposit 200gp in a savings account at a reputable bank with instructions that if I do not return in 365 days' time that the money should be given to my brother.That leaves me with 251.9 gp in my pocket.

Also looking forward to see if my research bore any fruit. Thanks MrA!

Oh also, I imagine he attends a church of the Sovereign Host daily, using his Lay on Hands to heal one person's disease every day (spending 5 lay on hands points). He will continue to do this the whole week, as well as regularly praying to the Host for a safe journey. He might pick up a new talisman for good luck, and toss away any trinkets that haven't been 'working' lately.

Oh snap I forgot about health potions. That's a steal of a deal, so I'll take 5. Editing shopping list above.

This is specifically a Sharn price. Big city in a high magic world. :)

I rolled exceptionally well. I'd like to think, in the fiction of the game, that Gideon used his connections with Morgrave to get such a good deal. Maybe they were top grade student projects from budding alchemists taking Potions 101.

Is that just a prce for Gideon, or can all of us grab them at that price?

Grabbing that vicious Rapier, unless anyone else would like it? (Was also eyeing the short sword, but rapiers are her thing. )

Trying to work out if there's anything else.

Also, not to be completly grubbing, but are there more items than the shan shop, or is that all we have access to? It's fine if it is, but I would like some sort of cloak of protection if they have it.

Breastplate: 400gp
Potions: 20gp x2= 40gp
Cloak of Protection?
10 rations, 5gp
Sell Chain shirt for half? +25gp?

2 healing potions (2x20gp)
Feather Token (30gp)
Cloak of protection (400gp)

Gideon got lucky on his roll for potion price. He must have found a shop with them at a better deal.

For the cloak of protection, let’s say 400g.

Cool, lets roll for potions then. Edit: after all that :P.

She'll stock up, so:

10 potions (100gp)
Vicious Rapier (180gp)
Manacles (2gp)
Navigator's Tools (25gp)
Playing Card Set (5sp)
Oil x5 (5sp)
Grappling Hook (2gp)

(Some of this I imagine she already had, just I forgot to buy extra stuff.

Also a fair amount of cheap whiskey. No idea on prices. A bottle of 'fine wine' is 10gp, so 5-10 gp a bottle?

Yeah make it the same as fine wine.

So I ended up using some of the money to flesh out a tinkerer/artificer, including buying some raw materials. I have a bag of holding as one of my infusions so everything is basically in the bag of holding.
I ended up getting:
Breastplate, cloak of resistance, war pick, war hammer, 4 healing potions, I spent 10gp to build a tool belt, bedroll, soap, 2 person tent, silk rope, fishing tackle, mess kit, water skin, 200 bolts, chalk, 10lbs of copper, 10lbs of iron, 1lb of silver, 1lb of gold, book, ink x2, 10 ink pens, chalk, and 10sq feet of leather.
There's no price for leather but I looked it up and you can get 50square feet of leather on average from a regular cow. A cow costs 10gp so I figured that for 5gp would pay for tanning and stretching for 10 square feet. So I spent a total of 1,005gp and I have 95gp left.

Who knew an alcohol habit was expensive? (I did..). We'll grab three bottles. And realised I forgot I had find familiar, so will spend 10gp summoning them, in the form of a raven, and have 5 lots of supplies. (10+50gp). May just say they were waiting outside.

You could just buy a tankard of plenty as a common magical item, or an alchemy jug which is uncommon.

Hey all, sorry for the delay in posting. I was on vacation last week. Should have a post up in the next day or so.

Thanks! No worries, take your time! Having a great time in all your adventures.

Does anyone know what happen to our GM?

He drop out of multiple games he was playing in. I think he may be gone.

I know he was saying it was busy, so hopefully he might re emerge. I was enjoying this party

I hope for a return soon. Willing to wait a bit.

Me too, I like the concept and my character... So far out of the 5 games i'm in only 1 is running. I know its part of the game but I don't want to start a new one and then all of a sudden the games pick up again.

I'm willing to wait for Mr.Armitage too. These are difficult times for everyone and it is understandable to have unexpected delays from time to time. Mr.Armitage, if you read this, please don't feel bad about the delay. RL comes first and everyone will understand no matter what you decide to do. Keep well, man.

To everybody: I've been on Gamers Plane since 2016, and yeah this is definitely the norm. Forgive those that ghost on you - you'll like need to ghost out on somebody eventually. In the meantime keep joining games and watch for the players and GMs that are consistent and fun to play with, and just keep trying to join games with those people. And join games that have completely different people to scout out potential new friends too.

Try not to join too many games. I find if I am at the point where I think "Hmm, things are a bit slow, maybe I could take on one more game" then I am probably at max 😄. Eventually life will get busy and you'll be glad you're a little on the lighter side. But at the same time, keep lots of irons in the fire because games will come and go. For some people that means 3 games. For others that means 30. Find your limit and play within it 😉

This is a good game with a good crew and a good DM at the helm - fingers crossed!

I started on the site in 2017 and I had to take a break for a year and a half from the site due to some family health issues with my children. I had to leave a game that I was heavily invested in but real life threw me an anchor and I had to re-prioritize my life. That's why I'm happy to play again and willing to give a chance.

Yes, I've had to cut back my involvement from time to time as RL gets hairy. It happens.

Looks like this game is over. Thanks for running Mr.Armitage, I hope everything is well. Take care. To everyone, I hope to play with you again sometime!

I can't blame you. I'll stick around until MrA gets Zzz

Me to, I would really like to play Eberron and I really like the character I had made

Hello all,

Just wanted to drop in and apologize for disappearing. In the excitement of finding this community, I drastically overcommitted the number of games I jumped into playing, as well as running. Life is insane right now, and I hope to come back in some form. For the time being, I'm shutting down the game.
