OOC

Hey all, I'm going to be less active over the next 2 weeks or so. I did something that screwed up my shoulder and it puts me in a lot of pain to sit and type. I've seen the doctor and am on a 2 week course of steroids to get it under control. I should be back sooner than 2 weeks, but it may be that long if it takes the full time to be not painful. Apologies all around and I hope to be back soon.

Hope you will get better soon! @dramasailor

I am also going to be very busy for the rest of this month, will post when I can

Alrighty all! I'm back and getting stuff started back up :)

I'm so happy Dramasailor is back and I wish you the best health. Now I have a question:
Is it still this group agreement. I count on it. Really.

It is definitely still the intent. I apologize for the few days darkness, I've been playing nursemaid to my daughters (nothing like 39 degree fevers and positive flu results for the five year olds to suck all the wind out of every sail).

Just to be clear on game state. I am waiting for for millyk to post what Milaki thinks/wants of the situation and how she behaves. Even if she does not react in any way - I want to know that before I role play my PC next action/decision.

Same here, won't make any posts until the other 2 players do, or the story moves forward

@Stampman49 I'm so glad to to see you back in the game! Please assume Claudius used his telepathy to share his thoughts with your PC as well.

@millyk - Haven't seen you about for a week or so, everything OK?

For the rest, I will need you to make a group decision (or someone make a decision for the group) as to your plan. Lurzook will not make the decision for you.

The way I see it you have a few choices:
1) Set up a fake camp, and try to "reverse ambush" them when the orcs come at night.
2) Observe the orcs from the goblin's suggested location and then do... something (follow them, attack them, whatever)
3) Tell Lurzook you'll handle it and then just leave.
4) Continue hunting the orcs in the daylight.

Things you've been told or assume about these orcs based on conversations so far:
-> They can see in the dark and use that to their advantage
-> Their leader is brutal but the spellcaster with him is worse
-> They have 6-8 orcs that you'll have to deal with.

Once someone from the group makes a decision for which way you're intending on advancing, I'll push the story forward.

I vote for (1) both as player and as PC.
1) I still have those 3 hunting traps, which don't do lot of damage but stop enemy if it fails dex save
2) I believe our rogue could have a great shooting position in a tree to snipe down the spellcaster
3) My PC now believe that there is little chance to meet lone orc, because there is a boss which mean they work as a group.
4) Technically if it is dark and we are more than 60 feet away from bonfire orcs don't see us but we see them and have advantage on ranged attacks.
5) My PC wold just love to develop detailed battle plan and I would just love as player to see that plan fail from the very beginning because he have missed to account for something.

I'm alright with option 1, Alan would agree with it too.

He won't initiate the plan since he's pretending to be Claudius's goon. So the stage for now is all yours @GreyWord .

Yes have hard time to delay my next post where Claudius attempt to talk like he is a boss, which is about only thing he has no knowledge to
Not sure if I could wait much more longer to allow millyk add something more to the story

OK, I assumed responsibility to post because I want to get back to "1. Maintain a close to daily weekday posting rate."
I assume we will still have opportunity to develop detailed plan or even abandon it as in-character conversation, once our PCs see if there are any opportunity to use environment to our advantage, because we will be choosing the location of the ambush. Without environmental advantage my PC would not risk fighting 4 PCs against 8 Orcs.

Sorry guys,I had corona virus. So I took a week off

Hey all, as you've noticed most likely I've not updated here in about a week, little more. Unfortunately, I'm finding real life is getting in the way and unfortunately running a game right now is just out of reach for the time that I've got.

I'd like to give it to you all to determine what you'd like to do. I'm perfectly happy to put the game on hiatus for a few weeks to see if life will settle itself down some. If you'd all rather just see it close up, we can do that to.

I'm very sorry the steam fell off, it has been an enjoyable adventure so far for me!

I'm sorry to hear. I has been enjoyable indeed so I will stay in the game and hope to see it continue before my life drag me away from gamersplane

I dont mind, I can wait, hope everything is ok

Sure, take your time!

Hey Dramasailor ... are you sure you want to continue here...? :-/
