OOC Thread

I was a bit busy over the weekend. We'll say that while others were investigating, Yakov was visiting a local shrine. He'll follow the group's lead.

Hey guys,
I'm going to be traveling and visiting family next week. I'll be able to check in most days but not as frequently as I would like, so I may miss a day here or there.

For the stealth roll as a quick hack, we can multiply the d20 role by 5, giving us a d100. In the future, I'll make an effort to use the proper dice. It's been decades since I played the first edition, so there may be a bit of a remembering curve here.

Enjoy your trip. I hope we will be able to conclude the fight until then.
I want to proceed and assume Nightshade filled everyone in on what he found, so you can start strategizing and decide what to do next.

None of you speak Goblin. You can bring someone from Threshold who does, if you want (we will skip forward in this case), just be aware that it IS risky, and if the negotiations don't go well you will lose the element of surprise.

I don’t feel like we’ll fare well trying to fight them all, surprise or not. Might be well that we retro having a goblin translator. One way or other, we need into the Keep.
Other thoughts?

We can either retro a translator, or retro one of you picking 'goblin' as your bonus language (if you have any). Whatever works for you.

Hey, all. It's been a rough couple of days for ol' Tim. I'll get caught up tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

So right now, we have two viable options; fight the goblins with the element of surprise, or try to negotiate with them (no secret doors leading inside, unfortunately)

Let me know which option you prefer, and I will move us forward.

Regarding bonus languages, because I chose my languages after we started the game I didn't want to 'meta-game' and choose Goblin, so I rolled for them. I am happy to switch one out for Goblin if we want to allow that.

You can go ahead and swap. It's not metagaming to select languages more commonly used in the setting. If anything, it was my oversight not to include that information in the Setting threads. You're unlikely to ever encounter a gargoyle ,for instance. Goblins are much more common, and the Goblin language is also used by Hobgoblins and Bugbears.

Ok switched...what about Kobold's is there a better language option?

That reads well to me.
