OOC Chat

Out of Character Chat

I'm finding conflicting answers in various forums, so I'll ask the man in charge:

Does Create or Destroy Water work on ice?

I would rule yes. Ice is just frozen water, as it calls out fog too in the spell.

Is this to make sure what you want to post is in the right spot in the narrative once you get a DM ruling? Or something similar?

Nah, I just got called away to dinner when I wasn't done yet. Nothing crucial. I just realized I'm a little behind on posting and didn't want to fall further behind.

I like that idea. I've had a couple times when I've been in the middle of writing something and real life intervened. Other times, I've been waiting on a DM ruling (no fault of any DMs; it's just the nature of the format) and other players have progressed the story, and it just didn't make sense to make everyone backtrack.

That is a great idea!

Who's Draggor?

I'm guessing he doesn't mean this. Or maybe he does. No judgments.

Draggor is the captain of the ship.

Whaa?! How could I miss that?!

To be fair, I'm uncertain if the ship's crew are dwarves from the same clan.

Oh yeah. Second paragraph. Reading comprehension, right? Good thing my job doesn't depend on it.

The ship was purchased for this journey and has a mixed race crew. The captain looks dwarven, but if you didn't know better, he looks like he has some elven blood in him too.

Anybody wanna name the ship? Or was that another thing I missed?

The Eldridge?

The Studbucket?

"Endurance" was the name of Shackleton's ship that got stuck in the ice on his famous Antarctic expedition. Might be fitting.

I second Endurance! :-)

I like that. I was going with the Eldridge because it's the ship that supposedly traveled through time in The Philadelphia Experiment. I like Endurance better, though.

[quote"McDunno"]I like that. I was going with the Eldridge because it's the ship that supposedly traveled through time in The Philadelphia Experiment. I like Endurance better, though.[/quote]

I gotta admit I missed that reference! That makes Eldridge fitting too, but I like the sound of Endurance. :-)

Forgot about that! Nix the sled, I guess.

Theoretically wouldn't a dead body fit in a Bag of Holding? :-P

Yes, I believe the openings are a 3' circle

The sled might still be useful. Put it in a bag of holding too!

Will be up to my neck in work for the next 48 hrs.

Yeah guys, I'm going to be totally slammed with school/theater for the next two weeks so I won't be home till 7:30 EST every night, which means any games I'm in can't expect me before then. Sorry!

What's the island look like? Is it tundra, or are there trees? A sled might be a good idea even with our Bags. Some of our gear won't fit into a Bag, and if there aren't any trees, we'll need to bring some firewood with us.

What you can see so far, it looks like a frozen tundra waste land.

Lunitar, what are some possible destinations on the island that our characters would know about, either from prior knowledge or from maps on the ship? Also, do our characters know how big is the island roughly? Thanks!

They would have studied the maps of the island. The islands is about two days travel to get from one side to the other. Before it was frozen, the lush land was dotted with farms and smaller holds, but the town was in the center, that is where the lord and the keep lay. Off to the north there was a small mountain range.

Canned goods?

In glass, meats, root vegetables, veggies and fruit.

THIS is exactly what Gunnar's gun is like! LOL!

THUNDER DAMAGE, HO!

lol

Is this something the PC's are familiar with? IRL canning wasn't invented until the 19th century but of course this is a fantasy world. Just wondering if the sight of those jars would have been familiar to us or not.

Yes, they had jars that held potions and some liquor in, so I am just assuming pickled veggies and salted meat would be kept in glass or ceramic.

I realize I failed to specify what supplies. Here's what Gunnar would have put together. Let me know if any of this would not have been available on the Endurance.
-extra coils of rope
-grappling hooks
-climbing kit
-a tent
-fishing tackle
-block and tackle
-a ladder
-sacks
-spyglass

Similarly, Gunnar will scavenge anything from the farmhouse that's still serviceable/useful, like that canned food.

Sounds good

I thought we were scouting the perimeter, not leaving.

Even if that is the case, Baern's not exactly one to think the best.
I kinda wanna apologize for this character. He's kind of an as*. But then, he's a dwarf fighting elven tendencies who lost his only love to his mortal enemies and is now certain that she's dead. So bear with him--or don't. ;P

Ulfren believes Ryyrik is heading back the way they came, or at the very least in a specific direction. What he signaled to Gunnar was exactly what Gunnar was thinking, that it's a perimeter scout.

Of course, Ulfren did not signal that to anyone inside the house nor explicitly indicate anything to Gunnar, so if there's confusion, it's 100% in-character!

Haha don't apologize - he's great! Conflict always makes for good stories. :-)

CancerMan has it on the nose that the confusion is in character. Phineas is just trusting what Baern told him, and all will be cleared up when they reunite with the rest of the team. But, at that point we probably will be moving on anyway, so maybe Baern had it right all along!

No, no it's great! Was just making sure Couch was just roleplaying and it wasn't him as a player that was confused. Was just checking. I suppose my post was poorly worded. I apologize. :-)

No need :-)

Another hectic weekend at work + I'm coming down with something. Probably won't be hearing from me til Sunday.

Driving all day today, but I'll be back tomorrow!

Heh, sorry for slowing us down the last few days. Honestly, I expected everyone to say no when I asked to do an investigation! A good player is mindful of playing his character authentically, but is also mindful of the pacing of the story, and I kinda botched that up. I'm not saying its a big deal or anything, but just letting you know that I'm aware of this, and I'm going to push Phineas's careful nature to the background because I feel a need among everyone to move the story forward.

No need to apologise, my impatience and annoyance is strictly character only.

I'm just kicking myself for creating such a personality-less character.

You are all fine!

@lenpelletier I didn't feel like you were holding us up. I actually like the conflict between Phineas' careful nature, Ryyrik's unpredictability, and Ulfren's no-nonsense attitude. I think we have a good mix here. Sure, there hasn't been great teamwork, but thanks to Ulfren's speech and everyone's reaction even this lack of unity has become great RP fuel. :-)

@CouchLord0510 I think Baern has plenty of potential!

Hahaha thanks @Jabes. Just converting potential to actual is the issue...

I have to echo everyone, lenpelletier. I'm glad Billy isn't the only Dwarf being played against type. And don't worry about HypCo. He plays a damn troublemaker in everything I've seen him do.

LOL! He does, doesn't he? Honestly, McDunno, when I created Gunnar I envisioned him the way you've been playing Wynnie in Couchlord's game. But I could never pull that off so now he's a bit of the silent loner type. Fits a sniper, I guess.

Ha! Gunnar's wisdom is WAY too high to pull off a Winnie! Playing Winnie is tough. I don't think I could do it in a real-life game. It takes a lot of thinking to rp someone who acts without thinking! Although it's more like he's thinking about 10 different things at once, none of which happen to be what he's currently talking about.

That's why I love PbP. You can put the thought into it to really tailor your character and play them well and true to their position without the constant hopping from actual gaming to table conversation at every minute.

Thanks for the supportive comments everyone! For the record, I wasn't worried about any one person's reaction, just my own thinking about how my decisions were playing out in game. Especially you HypCo, I've loved Ryyrik from the get-go and I know his gruff is all in character.

Hey no worries Lunitar. I thought I'd take this opportunity to let you know I'm really enjoying your game.

Thank you, I appreciate the feedback! And it gives me a little time out of the hectic daily grind.

The frost orc just made an attack so we should be at the top of the initiative order.

We also don't get extra attack yet, that comes at 5th level.

Well, unless you happen to turn into a bear!

Yeah, I was thinking he was two-weapon fighting, but warhammers aren't light so he can't do that... shucks! Now I have to get a feat if I want to do that.

But here's a question: Baern's guardian form is Large. Does that mean that he would be able to use two non-light weapons at once while in that form without the Duel-Wielder feat?

Sorry CouchLord, no such rule concerning large creatures automatically getting the dual welder feat exists in 5e.

No they wouldn't get the duel-weilder feat, but wouldn't size affect how much they can wield? Isn't weapon weight limitations contingent on size?

Happy Easter everybody!

Happy Easter!

The only thing about size and weapons in the rules is that small creatures have disadvantage when using a single heavy weapon.

Bleh.

As posted in the Absences thread:

Hi everyone! Sorry for the extended absence. That was my first vacation in years! I'm back now, and looking forward to slowly getting caught up with all my games. Cheers!

Vay-kay-shun? What is this exotic thing of which you speak?

Heh, that was good. But then I thought, dammit, now I'm going to have to come up with some kind of folksy analogy. Luckily Couch filled in for me.

CancerMan, would Billy know the name of your clan?

I have a vague recollection that we belong to the same clan, just that some of us have gone towards the outer edges in relative isolation. However, we never named the clan we came from, much less the king who sent us hunting. I honestly don't know if we ever agreed on anything regarding the clan, but it fits that we would all be kin since we were brought together for this mission.

Edit to add: I do think it's reasonable that some of us could belong to a different clan whose lord or lady is related to the clan that Ulfren belongs to, but that still sorta makes everyone kin through distant relations.

Hmm. Considering that some of us are Mountain Dwarves and some of us are Hill Dwarves, Billy is from an urban environment and Ulfren is a tribal nomad. I figured we were all from different clans.

I had a response that hinges on Ulfren's clan name, but I can alter it if none of this has been decided.

To be fair, I don't know specifically how dwarven clans work in D&D nor in this specific setting, and I'm making things up on the fly. I generally hold to the opinion that dwarves are typically insular to other races but not to kin, so mountain dwarves and hill dwarves would be treated as such by my thinking.

I also think that one can be from the same clan, but pursue completely different lifestyles. Sort of like adhering to a dwarven oath of loyalty to the clan, but free to do anything and go anywhere. I envisioned Ulfren in his youth as living on the outer tundra with a small settlement of dwarves, free to live their own lives. When the king (or whoever presides as ruler of the clan) sent out the call to war, Ulfren's oath bound him to journey back to the heart of the realm.

For those who wish to not be in the same clan, the oath to a different ruler (perhaps cousin of king or queen) might bind them to the same task as part of a sworn alliance.

Blackthaw is Ulfren's family name. The name of the clan is up for debate.

You may be from different clans, but all come from the same community in the mountain... even if some moved to the forest...lol

As posted in the Absences thread:

:D

Love Cap. He's the best. Anyway, I had an idea, and I'd love y'alls feedback on it. Please check it out here.

I have a couple of concerns about our game. People, including me are posting less and less, so I am guessing others have concerns too.

Lunitar, I hope you don't take any of this personally. You are a great GM and I have learned from your style and incorporated those lessons into my own game. Also, I am having a lot of fun in this game.

I know myself and others are concerned with the game's pace. In the 6.5 months of gaming, the story hasn't progressed beyond what we as players already knew from the intro post. In terms of XP, we are not going to level until the mid 2019s.

I love this setting and want to dig into it more. If anything, Lunitar, take my frustrations as a compliment to your great world building. And, please help us explore it more. Maybe we can do a time jump to the next interesting place?

Before I add story and take you to the next area, is everyone okay with that or do you want to RP to the next area?

I am also sorry I have not posted as much, work has been demanding lots of overtime and my small farm has grown. I'll try and get things up quicker and more regular.

The next area being our meeting with the Freeze King, correct? I'm fine with a GM time jump, Ryyrik will just be drinking and smashing half-empty bottles of the supplied wine.

Hey Lunitar, don't feel bad about not posting as often. If things are demanding and you don't have much time, just let us know and we will give you whatever time you need.

Glad to hear your operation is growing! I'd love to hear about it sometime.

I don't necessarily mind a long time between postings (although a heads-up is welcome), but when so little is done with those sporadic posts, it becomes difficult to maintain interest. Five and a half months of game play is a long time (even on play by post) to have so little to show for it.

I'm perfectly okay with a time jump as well. You own a farm? Do tell! :-)

For Ulfren, it looks like Reinhel has everything under control and in the barbarian's mind there's no need for the dwarves anymore.

With that in mind, how much of a jump are we taking to the next area? The humans didn't make that good an impression on Ulfren, especially since they were effectively dismissed once they arrived. He would need a reason to stick around, otherwise he'd opt to just go home.

Same for Gunnar actually. And that's before you factor in his soldier mindset (he's going to follow where his commanding officer, Ulfren, goes).

Baern's heart was not in this mission wholey to begin with, and now that he is nearly certain that his love died hundreds of years ago while he was frozen in time, he has little or no motivation to be here at all, and the thing he wants to do most is return to his Circle and begin the process of emotional repair so that he can live normally again.

I'm just in town limits with a double lot, but I am trying my best to manage the land well. I currently have 12 chickens, 6 ducks, 10 rabbits, 10 quail and 48 more quail that just went in the incubator. I have fodder trays started, duck weed growing, mealworms in oatmeal in bins. I have slacked off a bit on my herbs this year, but I still have time to get some in. Then work wants me to be an electrician 12 hours a day, lol.

That's so awesome--I envy you! I have always wanted to have a small farm or even just a garden! My grandpa lived on a farm--chickens, a pig, a few goats, lots of fruit trees. My folks would take my brother and to spend school breaks there and we loved it! :-)

I've tried growing herbs in a small plot here in the city but I must have whatever the oppisite is of a green thumb because I manage to kill everything! Even basil, which I've been told hardly requires any care! :-(

Do we have mounts?

Thank you Jabes. No, just on foot, sorry, I meant walk

No worries! :-)

Hey Lunitar, just wanted to say I'm loving this new chapter in the story. Great atmosphere and tension. And that map looks awesome by the way!

Thank you. Been rough getting on again, but trying to get here once a day from now on.

Hey everyone I'll be camping starting tomorrow from Monday to Friday night. Probably will be able to keep up, but if you find you're waiting on me, feel free to take my action or skip my turn entirely. Phineas would probably not wild shape for this encounter, instead using aid actions by suggesting certain tactics from the back line. He would throw some produce flames, but he'd rather have the thing taken alive if that's even possible. If a bunch more elf-things arrive, he would probably thunderwave them and wild shape.

enjoy nature time!

As posted in the Absences thread:

Whew that was rough! But I'm back and eager to get caught up! :-)

HAHAHA! :-D

Going to take a chance and roll HP here. I never seem to roll these well, so hopefully this time I get more than the average.

Thanks!

Took the average HP gain to increase max hp (but left current HP as is), took the Sharpshooter feat, learned a new spell (Shield of Faith, which really should be renamed because it's funny when the caster is arcane and not divine).

Wow, nice roll CancerMan!

I'm going to take the average +5+Con hp and another +1 hp for Hill Dwarf for a total of +9 hp increase.

Attribute Score Increase: Con +1 = 16, Wis +1 = 18.

I get a new cantrip, which I will pick Frostbite based on being frozen for 1000 years. I think some of the ice magic leaked into me.

Also, I can turn into animals with swim speeds now.

I went with a +2 increase to Constitution. I figure playing into Ulfren's bear resistance and increasing his AC and HP might mean he can soak up more damage, letting the others get their strikes in.

Putting my ASI to Dex (18) and Con (20) and taking the average (6+con(+5)).

I also took the average: 5, +4 (con), +1 (dwarven toughness) = 10. No ASI for the multiclasser. Billy went up a level in cleric to get those 2nd level spells.

Sorry, I'm a bit late but there wasn't much head left for a trophy.

Pfeh, I'll settle for a scalp, then.

So, I know the story line for this and it can be over quicker (like at least as long as we already have played) or I can add to the story line. Is everyone up for a campaign? I am wrapping up my other 3 games and would like to focus on this and maybe one more. The story line here though actually has been built around you characters filling in some of the gaps and the ending, so I don't want to lose any of you. I am going to be working on more maps for this too soon.

I'm fine to keep going as long as possible. Interested to see where this goes and how this ragtag bunch o' dwarves develop.

I kinda like this little squad and would like to see what other trouble they can get up to.

I'd never say no to continuing.

https://youtu.be/VO0x7vL2T90

Count me in!

Works for me.

Great! I enjoy this group also!

Couch has been pretty spotty and his last post in this game was (unless I skimmed over a sooner one) late September.

Okay, might put him on a back burner then, he didn't follow you guys in.

As posted to the Absences Thread:

Hi everyone! First of all I'd like to apologize for my two-week absence. I'm back with some sad news (sad for me anyhow).

The day I was hoping would never come has arrived: Due to recent changes in my life (some good, others not so much) I am going to be forced to drastically cut back on my game involvement.

Thank you for the opportunity to play in your game, @lunitar. I wish I could continue but I can't. I think I owe it to everybody as well as to myself for Gunnar to die or depart in a way that serves the story rather than just drop out. I'm willing to work with you on exactly how.

Or, maybe we can get someone to take him over and keep him alive? Unless you think you might be back someday to play?

As tempting as that sounds, I think it would be selfish of me. But thanks for suggesting it.
Is this where I begin to take my exit? I said I'd stay on until we can write Gunnar out of the story - this sounds like the start of it.

How quickly do you need out? I can work out so you would have a chance, someday of returning and can make it happen whenever you need.

No real rush. Don't sweat it. :-)

Then by all means man... take your turn! lol

As posted in the Absences thread, I'll be traveling from 04 June 2018 through 15 June 2018. I don't know how much wifi access I'll have, so consider my participation to be limited.

Everyone should be level 5 now, grats. That could have been ugly, lol

Sorry everyone, I've been real busy lately, but will get caught up soon.

Okay, opinion time everyone.
Click the actual web page for full size. I have two world maps here and I want to know which one you like best:

Choice A:
http://www.talosrpg.com/picture_library/taloscstowns.jpg


OR

Choice B:
http://www.talosrpg.com/images/Talos.jpg

Despite many interruptions, I love how this game never dies. In PbP, I feel this is a rare thing and this game gives me hope. I have to admit, I am quite rusty in my knowledge returning from the last gap in time.

To answer your question lunitar, I like the first one best!

I like the second map. It's easier to read, as the names are highlighted white in the background to make them stand out against the darker areas.

Hey everyone I'm heading out for a 5 day camping trip and I'll be unable to post from the 13th-17th. When I get back I'll have guests visiting so I'll be a bit unpredictable in posting until September. See you soon!

As posted in the Absences thread, since there is the possibility that some do not follow that forum:

Stay safe!

Maybe we can say the missing players are staying back at the village with the strange immortal people.

That’s why I had him off. He’s been off gamersplane for 4 months now.

I have sent the call out for 2-3 more players. I am running this and 1 more, my other games ended, so will try and focus on this one more.

Welcome Mcneils5 and Shanecottom!

And welcome back Hypco!

Hi peeps, glad to be aboard :) Will sort a character over the next day or so, what do we have in the group already?

Ranger, Barbarian, Gunsmith and Moon Druid. All classes and races are open.

Welcome mcneils and shanecottom!

Heya everybody, new and old, hopefully you'll bear with me as I get my bearings again. Looking forward to putting on these gruff, bigoted dwarf boots again.

Lunitar, let me know if I *NEED* to read through the posts leading up to where we are or if I can get away for a little bit. It looks like Ryyrik wasn't phased out so I'd assume he'd be in the know of what has happened since my leave, requiring me to read through it eventually. Just want to know if there's any time straints or something that requures me to do it now rather than later.

Hey welcome back HypCo!

To sum up for Ryyrik:

We found a gnome prisoner, badly beaten by the drow. He couldn't tell us much, and then he got eaten by a mimic.

Billy got killed in that same mimic fight, and we left his body in repose in the storeroom because I felt this was still his home and we can always come back for him later.

We decided that Baern stayed back at that weird village with the old people. For reasons.

We haven't had a rest since many of us were eager to see what's become of our homeland, but I think after this fight we're going to need one. Ulfren's out of rages, and Phineas is probably low on spells. Gunnar's doing all right, I believe.

A good summary, CM.

I'm up for a rest, but I'm not hurting for spell slots or wildshapes at all.

Great summary thanks

Yeah, I read that Billy got chomped!

How should I play this, Lunitar? Ryyrik silenced by the state of his birthplace and kin or making "meaningless braindead npcesque" comments. Or if you had any ideas, I'd be open to hear them.

Since we had you off, I was thinking you got caught unawares from behind and captured and put in one of these cells and were just released?

Sounds bueno. I think I might of misread one of our messages and thought I wasn't phased out. Either or, I'm good with whichever works best for you.

Jabes has been off the forums for aost two weeks, dealing with migraines. I mention this because last time a player was up for initiative it was HypCo and I said he wasn't around but then he magically appeared! So I figure this might be some magic power I possess :)

Lol! (Not the migraine, but your magical powers!)

Hi guys! I'm back, I think. Welcome, mcneil5 and shanecottom!

Welcome back

No one leveled up quite yet, but soon.

I'll take the Ring Of Drow Blood if no one objects. I've decided I want to mix it up a little bit and not always fall back on "Gunnar takes aim, and fires."
Also, I just remembered that I've yet to select my 5th level Wondrous Invention!

No objections here. I have no great need of the items.

The ring is a definite Gunnar fit; lots of tactical abilities added to his sniper repertoire.

The cloak AC bonus would benefit Ulfren and Ryyrik the most as they are the usually front liners; I don't think either benefit too much with the secondaries though; concealment is a word non-existence in their combat vocabulary and neither of them really have a need to teleport away; I can see it being used as a 'Oh no, squishy ranged PC in trouble, send over the brick shithouses with their clobbering sticks' button. A bit situational but I don't know...food for thought.

I think the best cloak fit would be a spellcaster/melee character, boost their AC for melee and give them a skiidaddle button when things get a bit too hairy for their lesser HP pool/lower AC. Gives good survivability, takes them to safety while still allowing them to be effective.

I just noticed Ulfren's new avatar!

Seemed more appropriate for barbarian rage.

Looks great!

I'll be real. I totally forgot dwarves are short...there is a height distance. We can't cover their mouths if we can't reach it. Any other ideas before going through?

Well, we are considered Medium creatures. Maybe that's enough?

Maybe we reserve Wuknit's Invisibility spell for after we take out the guards? What do you guys think?

Well Lunitar confirmed we’d regained our spell slots so I can cast it again at 3rd if needed

Sorry guys, real busy, I'll try and get a proper post up soon.

Thanks for the heads up Lunitar, and for your work on this game.

Thank you!

I do say, this wasn't the way I thought it would go. I was expecting you to be put to work in the mines and plot an escape... brings back memories of my real life group. That's why you never plan too far ahead, lol.

Hey, we're putting in work in the mines ... not so much mining work, more like killing work.

Sorry to hear that. I hope he is well! It was fun having you play as well. If you want to come back let us know, we can write you back in if we are still playing.

Feel free to stay parked in game too if you'd like.

Best of luck to you, Len.

Wasn't trying to push the story forward either; 100% wait for the others to get theirs in. TV status: Ryyrik storms off, camera ignnores him, stays focused on Phineas.

So what's happening with this game then? It still going or is it done??

So, I just checked absences and Hypco is gone as is Jabs. That only leaves us two players. What do you want to do? I can try and get more people, but it would really hurt the story only having one original. What are your thoughts?

Well I'm relatively new on this game so I've not really had chance to get too invested in the story as yet so I'm going to leave that call to the one original (I'm guessing that's CancerMan)

Hey I'm still here!

Yeah, Jabes was out temporarily for migraines and just had to scale back on the amount of screen time.

I'm willing to keep going, even if it's with new players.

Hey Jabes, I didn't want to kick ya out or nothing, just understanding of your health issues. If you are still in then great.

I will be on a family trip from 6 Oct through 11 Oct, and will have limited access. I should be able to check in at least once a day when back at the hotel, but my participation will be otherwise diminished.

ok

Roll call

I'm here..lol

Here!

Also here :)

I know Jabes is busy with work over the holidays.

I'm back!

Welcome back!

I am guessing we only have 2 semi active player, is it time to retire this game?

Maybe. I'd be sad to see it go, as I've had a lot of fun with these crazy characters, but it is hard to keep things going with such small numbers.

Jabes is mia, I figured he would after dropping almost every other game.

Yeah I think most people have felt the pressure over the last few months and GP activity has definitely tailed off. I'm still lurking about but yeah can be difficult running something on here for just a couple of people and to keep the momentum going

I kind of thought with people being lock downed, more would be playing.

It's harder for me tbh - pressures of still working full time from home as well as trying to do my share of home schooling for our daughter as her school has been closed since early March (and won't be open again until September at the earliest) means that the time I would normally have to post on here has been pressed to say the least

Figured I’d move my response here to keep the ic thread clear. Well I’m still interested in keeping going but I think we’re the only two players left active - both Jabes and HypCo have been inactive on the site for months

Okay, who all is still in?

Mcneils and CancerMan are it I believe.

Yeah, seems like.

Welcome to the new players!

Thank you!

Thank you, looking forward to play

Thank you, looking forward to it

What classes makeup does our party entail?

A sorcerer, barbarian and ranger?

I only ask because I've got two ideas and I'm okay with either one if someone wants one of the other classes.

Sorcerer and barbarian.

@DM, How will we be integrated into the game?

You will be statues that have been freed coming up soon, you have been frozen in time, but you don't know how long. The last thing you remember was that you were under attack from the drow.

Hey I did not see the game invite until today. Thank you and I will get into character generation mode tonight :)

Welcome to all the new people!

character ready for approval, still minor details to sort out like personality and such

Okay, we should be there shortly

It's not the dying part I have an issue with, it the torture. But never mind that.
Thank you @lunitar for inviting me into your game, but I will step back and wish you a fun game.

Okay, on with the game!

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Hey guys terrible news. I have way less time to get prepared for a board exam than I thought and I am not gonna have time to check the site in the next few months. I'll see if I can reconnect after March, but I am gonna have to bow out for now. I am terribly sorry I was enjoying a group of dwarves and the setting but that's life I'm afraid. I didn't want to just ghost. God Bless!

Alright, good luck with the exam.

Good luck!

So, Coachthor is gone and mcneils5 has had to drop. Nikcollini hasn't posted in sometime. It looks like we are down to 2 players again.

I'll see this to the end, however that end may be!

Okay will try and find a couple more... again lol

Mwaa ha ha. Dark cloud comes. Strike of Lightning.

Nice Gene! Welcome to this dwarven craziness!

Welcome!

Since we didn't get far, I'll just drop them in as replacements, that they were the statues. I say thye, we have 1 so far.

Yes, we will wait to see if we can get a couple more

yeppers. That would be nice. You have seen the character now. Anything you would like to change?

Looks good, I accepted

when can we expect to begin?

Shortly, adding one more

Hi all! It's late here but I should be able to get a character written up tomorrow. Looking forward to the game. :)

Alright, glad to have you

Hey there. Welcome Kadeton to stonehood.

Everyone is free to join in.

For story purposes, not much happened since the players that were new were unstoned.. lol, so we can have it that you are still stretching and coming to terms with coming back. To you no time has passed and the last thing you remembered was fighting off the drow, or if you weren't fighting, the drow entering the city.

RL is been a bit much and I have dropped both my DM'ing games and several of my playing games. Unfortunately this one is on my list of being dropped. Thanx for the opportunity to play. I will keep the character here for a while so you can copy if you wish.

I believe with GeneCortess dropping and no one posting in over 2 weeks, it might be time to put this one to rest. We have tried to resurrect several times and I think it's time to turn off the life support.

I might start a new new adventure in the coming month, so if you are interested, let me know.

I'm interested.

Ok, I'll send an invite when I get it going.

Me too

I wanted to play more as Frigga!

Okay, I'll send you one too. Can play Frigga if you want
