My thoughts are that if SHMKehoe has truly disappeared, we NPC Ammos until we reach Phandalin (assuming we all don't die in the process). Maybe Gundren or someone else needs Ammos to take care of business in Neverwinter, or maybe something happens to the Grifstone family that requires Ammos to return to Waterdeep.

Tatiana would choose to remain with the party. If the Rockseekers are the reason for Ammos to travel, Tatiana would stay in order to fulfill the contract. If it's the Grifstones that demand their return, Tatiana would refuse just to be away from them; no doubt alienating .

We can recruit another player, as well. I'm sure there will be convenient moments to introduce a new person, regardless if we're still inside the cave or not.

That sounds like a reasonable plan to me.

This is my opinion an mine alone: player rotation is inevitable in long pbp game. It would be better if we are ready for transition regardless of the scene we are in. I would prefer DM prioritize smooth gaming over perfect story flow. This is extreme example but I would rather have a divine intervention or a portal opening in front of a party, sucking old PC in and dropping new one out than wait a few months (real life) for the perfect moment to to the switch.

P.S. My gut feeling - with the game peace we have we will spend in this cave the rest of this year and a month or two of the next.

I agree with CancerMan Climbing 20 feet costs 40 feet of movement and would require you to succeed on an Atheltics check, DC more than 11 as I failed with 11. You would need to dash instead of shoot and even then it looks like I4 is best you could have reached. I would argue DM made the obviously better move for your PC instead.

@DrifterDwarf did You miss that or your PC did? Head is with Tatiana

Well, we both missed it I guess :) I remembered it being thrown, even went back to look for the post to be sure. Did not remember Tatiana picking it up.

It was this post, which admittedly was right after healing and right before moving further into the cavern so it's understandable that it got lost in the shuffle.

In my opinion, it's understandable in-character as well, so honestly I'd just play it as-is. Who'd expect the stuck-up dainty noblewoman to gather and carry such a gruesome trophy? Of course, I don't want everyone to think we'd have to retreat to find something we already have, so I posted to expose Tatiana's peculiar tendencies (she'd definitely try to hide it in other contexts).

So the ice princess has a penchant for beheaded goblinoids? Good to know 😋

Tatiana knows what is "best in life."

I'm going to guess it isn't a fleet horse, a falcon on your wrist, and the wind in your hair. 😈😈😈

I love how Alex finds a way to drop the twins label in every conversation with strangers. I'm still working on Tati's actions so that one day it leads to the question, "Which one is the dragon?"

Sorry guy I will be posting an update soon just got busy this week.

Looking forward to that moment 😈

No worries. That's where PbP excels. Also allows me the opportunity to work on self-development and patience.


Grrrrr. where is that Arrcher with my update.

May I ask some clarification. I'm a bit lost
Did I miss a moment when all locals left and only patrons are Sildar, Ammos and Gundran? Is it right that the only patrons in the tavern are Sildar, Ammos, Gundran and Trakomak? I know what my PC will do in that case. Just want to double check since it seems to disagree with earlier narrative.

For what it's worth, I took it to mean three patrons in additon to Sildar, Ammos, and Gundren.

OK I'll take that as an answer and account for 3 more ales on my budget
