OOC Discussion

Good idea keeping the rolls together! I suggest the others do the same.

Also, a correction: mm is only 15ft up the north wall, not 20.

I'll have the mini-mouthers' actions up after the England-Colombia match in a few, then we're going to Round 3 and back to the PC's.

I added the Disadvantage WIS Save for Urban's Action held until sequence here.

Thanks, J! Great roll!

I've corrected Ybus' entry in the Initiative/Status spoilers to reflect the 5 acid burst damage from when the big mouther fell apart.

Len, unless I'm mistaken we still don't have Baracus' DEX save against the acid burst.

Mini-mouthers' actions are in. I need Baracus' DEX save vs. acid burst and Erden's DEX save vs. Blinding Spittle before we close Round 2.

It's Round 3, and PC's are up! I've posted Urban and Ybus' actions which were sent in advance.

No actions for Baracus yet but his saves are in. Oops, I think we missed something: did you send disadvantage roll for the WIS save, Len? Maybe you did and I missed it?

When you take your PC's turn go ahead and take your turtle's turn too!

My mistake Jabes. Added a disadv wis save here, looks like Baracus still holds on with a result of 10.

Good news: Aberrant Ground doesn't knock you prone, it just reduces your speed to zero for 1 round. :-)

EDIT:
Bad news (maybe): Erden may have already fallen off earlier in the round when he was bitten by mm (pending DC10 STR save vs. Prone).

After 13 edits, I thought I had it all right :)

Thanks for your patience Jabes. I think I'll keep the narration the same.

Of course! Thanks for your patience too! There's a lot of stuff to manage with this monster, and I unleashed six of them on our game! Add five PC's and four NPC's... I knew this was going to be a challenge for me as my first time running a combat encounter on a grid.

Lucky for Don-Yi he failed his STR check too, so his speed is zero. :-D I've put him back where he was before.

To be completely honest I meant for these guys to be inspired by TMNT but not the actual TMNT. To begin with I imagined them as Pradeshi. Their weapons are talwars, kattari, flail (not nunchaku), spear, and throwing star (not shuriken). I imagined them with Bollywood voices/accents. That's why I never had them say the catchphrases we all know and love. BUT if you want them to talk like that then dammit, I'm 100% on board! So now that the cowabunga is out of the bag, have at it! TURTLE POWER! :-D

Makes sense to me! Once I noticed it, I couldn't help but ask :)

Is that a crystal of Blue Sky? I predict it will be like a Mentos in a bottle of soda. LOL!

Hey everyone, I'm heading out for a camping trip for the weekend this evening. Probably won't be able to post much

As it turns out I am also going to be away for the weekend. Catch you guys when I get back. Enjoy your trip, Len! :-)

Fellas,

I've talked to Jabes offline and have to announce here that I have to take an abrupt and full break from all PbP leisure. I really hate it, but it just has to happen. Classic reason: RL demands.

I'm sorry to close it out here. First Foray I think is my favorite game I've played in ever. Jabes has done an outstanding job as the DM. You guys are Top Tier players in all categories. I really feel privileged to be in this group.

Best wishes in all endeavors. I hope to talk with you again some day in the future if I can beat back the forces of responsibility. Ha!

Sincerely,
J

I've reached out to J privately to wish him well.

So now with both him and HypCo gone indefinitely, we have some decisions to make:
1. I want to continue to DM for you guys if you'll still have me.
2. I am okay with just the 3 of you, but also would not be against recruiting.
3. Do you want to keep playing your current characters? I'm sure we can make up an excuse for Urban and Rydler to go away. Might be a bit weird to split up the group given their fierce loyalty to each other. Then again, maybe not.
4. If we go with new characters would you agree to keep playing in the same world? You could be Cysegrian agents, members of the Q'lactsh underworld, we could set a story in a different time period, or any number of other things (I'm sure you guys can come up with dozens of cool ideas).
5. J and Hyp are welcome back anytime!

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

I'm very sad to hear this :(

Please, if RL permits, I really hope that you come back to us, it's been great playing with you. Hopefully life calms down and permits you the opportunity to join us again. Either way, I hope things go well for you. Good luck in your future endeavors!
1. Yes, please!
2. Either way is fine with me
3. This is a tough one. I love our current characters, but it would be REALLY strange to be without two members of our party... Either way is fine with me
4. I enjoy the world you've crafted, so I'm more than happy to continue playing in it
5. Seconded!
