Sounds good to me! :D
Admiral's probably pretty busy captaining the ship, but in his free time he would like to investigate that necklace he found in the Nightmare's hoard. He would also like to teach Skeev (and anyone else who wants to learn) a bit about sailing, since he promised Skeev that he could join the crew of the Whisker

New hit points - (1d8+1)

(3) + 1 = 4

Tas has been leveled up. I am giving her the default hps for the level. I raised her DEX with the 2 pts.

She would offer Jin his cloak back during the trip and thank Admiral for his part in rescuing she, Mischa, and Petalwing from the sewage tunnel.

Hey cool new picture RageRed.

I'll be getting to posting the montage and starting chapter 2 soon. Sorry for the delay. Glad you were able to update your characters oopsylon and RageRed.

Thanks. Its has an uncanny resemblance to me for something I didn't pose for.

RageRed and oopsylon, I posted a 'montage' regarding the trip to Elegy. Feel free to add anything to it about what your characters do during the trip. It's going to be a little longer before I can get to setting up Chapter 2.

Also let me know if you find a picture you like better for the front view of the Whisker.

All good! I think the picture's great! :D

Not important at all but, for some reason, the font of Eldric's journal displays differently depending on whether I'm using my phone or laptop. On my phone it's a fancy cursive font and on my laptop it's comic sans lmao
I assume the cursive font is what it's supposed to be but the tonal whiplash between the content of the journal and the comic sans is very funny hahahah

That’s odd, and pretty funny.

RageRed and oopsylon, finally got Chapter 2 started. Sorry for the wait.

RageRed and oopsylon I'll progress the story along the route outlined in red, unless there is anything else anyone would like to do.

Sounds good to me!

Fine by me.

Finally posted. Sorry for the wait!

RageRed, I was giving you a chance to post before moving forward. Did you want to before I post again?

Hey everyone. Just checking in about how you all are feeling about the game. Just a few questions:

1. Having fun?
2. How do you feel about the pace so far?
3. Would you like a spot to leave the game?
4. How long would you like the game to continue?

I'll answer these questions too.
1. Yes I am having fun and enjoying seeing the choices you all are making unfold.

2. The pace so far has been fine by me (although I'm sorry for the times I take longer to post). But if you want, I could post montage-like sequences more frequently that move the story to different scenes more quickly. If so, just let me know in your posts your intentions and if you are ready to move on from a scene or location.

For example, in Khyree's story right now I could montage her back to her ship or I could continue to let JamaisVu roleplay Khyree's way back. And in Tasya and Admiral's current situation I could describe the remainder of the trip to Maulia, encounters and all, or RageRed and oopsylon could roleplay the trip with encounters along the way.

3. I am in for as long as you all want to play.

4. I never specified in the recruitment stage. I see this as on-going and possibly taking years to complete (especially considering PbP gameplay). But if you would rather see an end to this story earlier let me know.

1. The most fun so far in the game for me (and Tasya) was in her first scene, performing for a crowd.

Don't get me wrong, I think the DMing is excellent. Though, how Tasya is entwined in this campaign is not fun for me. Had I some type of psychic forethought I would have expressed a clear Line against any possible involvement of her biological parents in the story. I make most, if not all, of my characters orphans or estranged from their birth families for a reason in their backgrounds. Family is a very sensitive subject for me. To me, the circus is Tasya's family. She is looking at everything from the point of arriving in Jahore until now as a very bad dream; especially in regards to these flashes from the abyss and this woman who is supposed to be her biological mother. Given a choice between this person she has no emotional attachment to and her animal companion, Stripe, she'd stay with the circus and go after Stripe.

2. Pace. In the in-betweens, like now, I'd rather fast forward with montages and not be waiting on my posts every third post in the thread. Sometimes my character has nothing to say about a situation.

3. Tasya would leave with the circus as the current situations in the game dictate. She currently has no interest in pursuing a story arc in Hell.

4. Indifferent. If I were to continue in the campaign it would have to be with a different character, under different circumstances, or a complete change of Tasya's involvement.
Dec 8, 2023 10:44 pm
1. Yep! Absolutely!

2. I generally prefer to play scenes out fully but I think montages may be good for extended travel and the like where characters don’t have much to do but wait to get where they’re going

3. No, I’m having fun with the story and with Admiral and would like to continue playing as long as you do

4. I’d like for the game to be ongoing!

Perhaps it would be possible to retcon Tasya’s story a bit so that one of the members of her troupe is trapped in the demon realm instead or something like that? Alternatively, Dharzal and Stripe both went missing in Jahore iirc so theres motivation there for Admiral and Tasya to work together to find their missing friends

1. Fun? Sometimes yes. Sometimes no. Finding the flying ship=Fun. Discovering it has a sheath aboard that belongs to a disciple of a dark dragon that Khyree can't get rid of=No Fun. Discovering that the energy in the city is the same as her dragon Ki=Fun. Having flashes of dark portals and being drawn into rescuing the dark dragon=No Fun.

2. Pace? Travel sequences are taking too long.

3. Spot to leave the game? Shrugs. I generally have felt left out and not getting anywhere with few exceptions.

4. Game Length? Depends on the contents of the game.

Okay. This is really good to know. I'm glad I checked in again.

RageRed, after your response, I am very sorry about how Tasya's was integrated into the story. JamaisVu, I am also sorry that you have not been having fun and that you have felt left out. I always intended for the three of you to come together. This doesn't sound like a fun situation for you both. I thank you very much for trying for all these months. It would be hard now to revamp the ongoing plot not to include the demon realm and dragon siblings. BUT I'm sure I can think of something if you want to go that route.

RageRed and JamaisVu, it's also okay if you want out. No hard feelings there. I see that you both have other games going here on GP so there's lot of fun to be had. Your characters could become NPC's in the story and, if oopsylon wants to continue, I could try to get some players in to play new characters in this story.
