OOC Talk

Spell duration for Burglar's Friend is only 1 minute, so it's probably run out by now. Pass Without Trace is active but PROWL should be visible to cameras now.

Want to give everyone a heads up my posting might be iffy till the end of the week, my sister is getting married and I'm involved in lots of the prep work.

No worries. Thanks for the heads up.

No worries! Congrats to your sis!

Yup, that was a hell of a storm! But I'm back now, and in one piece.
Thanks for taking over. That was perfect! :-)

Glad you are alive and well.

Yeah, jeez. Glad you're ok.

Welcome back, Jabes!

Everyone, I jut want to repeat that Rodrigo is an ambitious man and wants to prove he can take command in hopes of rising quickly through the ranks. I fully expect his behavior to rub the other characters the wrong way, and I hope that will make for some interesting roleplay.

But I DON'T want to piss any of my fellow players off. If any of you feel this playstyle is disruptive or making the game less fun then please be honest and tell me, and I will change Rodrigo's behavior, no questions asked!

I agree that conflict can sometimes make for good stories but I appreciate that your are open to how the rest of us feel. I, for one, have absolutely no problem with the way you are playing Rodrigo. I think he's an interesting character.

As for PROWL....PROWL doesn't care. XD

Hey. If that's in response to how I played Tremor's reaction, I apologize. Don't read into it that you upset me (or did anything wrong). I'm RPing Tremor's reaction - not making my own comments. I would have done that in a PM or here.

So, no worries. Play him however you want. Enjoy the game.

Tsavo, I'm glad we're good! Just wanted to be sure. :-) PbP can be tricky that way.

So what are you guys thinking for preps/strategy? We've no idea if Ulgrik is coming alone.He could be a hobgoblin or bugbear. Rodrigo's out of ki and will need to meditate 30mins to recharge.

PROWL will also need the short rest to recharge his Wild shape slots.

For strategy I could Entangle again or Faerie Fire, depending on whether Ulgrik looks strong or dextrous. I also have Spike Growth, Hold Person. Moonbeam too, but PROWL prefers debuff and battlefield control over direct damage.

And those stun batons are fantastic! Kinda OP, if you ask me, TBH.

Well I did ask for input, but didn't really get much. ;-) I appreciate knowing what Prowl is going to do. Based on the previous encounter I'm guessing Tremor is going to Eldritch Blast and Jericho is going melee.
You've all seen Rodrigo operate...he just gets in your face and lays down the law. Although he did suggest the deception using Mulrick to gain the element of surprise. My intention with that is to get Ulgrik talking, maybe get him on record as the leader of this group and extract their plan.

It happens, could roll another.

Where are y'all 'hiding' in the diner, it'll have to be quick because they are fast on the approach.

Rodrigo is crouched behind the counter, next to the crate gun in hand. I suggest the non-melee guys stand together and use the Dust of Disappearance the moment Ulgrik's van rolls up.

Campeador's suggestion works for me. PROWL can be holding the dust, ready to deploy it.

Works for me too.

Of course, it only helps us stay invisible until the battle starts. "If a creature affected by the dust attacks or casts a spell, the Invisibility ends for that creature."

There's a bit of a snag at the moment, Tsavo has asked to drop the game. Down two players, I am planning on adjusting the encounter so everyone left can act without me npc-ing any of the other characters for fairness (This won't require any retconning fortunately). In the meantime I will look for some new players to add after this encounter. Does that seem doable?
