OOC Discussion

@Windtead - So as far as the poison goes, we'll give it full effect once the blade is drawn since it's been sealed in wax. (This is actually my first time dealing with poison in any level of detail as well)

@Sampai - Thanks for the reference. Of the three core books the DMG is the one I haven't spent a whole lot of time with.

We'll give Gareth until tomorrow evening to get an initiative roll in. At that time I'll just roll for him and we'll keep on moving.

By the way for those who are interested, Colten hits with a +5 modifier because of +3 dex and +2 dueling style, not due to proficiency.

I thought it was +2 due to his dashing good looks...

In other news: It appears we may have lost DireHalfling/Gareth. If I don't hear anything from him by this weekend I will drop him out of the game and then we can decide if we want to continue on with four, or recruit someone else to replace him.

In such cases, do you plan to play PC dropouts as NPCs until their inevitable demise with a doom counter of 14 days? :D

At 14 days without contact from a player their PC will die some sort of hilarious death. :-)

I'll generally NPC a character who has held up play for 48 hours, but if that happens two consecutive times, the PC will most likely be booted from the game.

HOWEVER, if a player has something come up IRL and contacts us that they'll be away for a while or busy for a few days, I'll gladly do whatever I can to accommodate them (NPC their character, send them 'home' until the player can play again, etc). It's the lack of contact that'll get PCs booted.

Hey, I rolled the intimidate check yesterday under my old post, just so everyone knows.

Is it mean for me to think that Gareth should heroically sacrifice himself for Puck or the party? :P

Wandering away does seem a little boring, doesn't it. :-)

Yes it does.

well do we have puck betray him and kill him instead?

That would be mean!

Maybe he leaves with puck to take him back to his estate

Gareth has been removed from the game. Shall we recruit another player into the game or continue on with four for now?

I demand a public execution!

As for a vote, I'd say keep it at four.

4 should be fine. I think.

the Room where in, is the water being held back by a wall of rocks? if so are we at a higher elevation that the goblins?

You are currently in the hallway leading into the room (via the bridge) and at the same level as the goblins. The walls are holding back the water behind it. Currently only those with dark vision can actually see the goblins.

Fate is cruel indeed :(
