So What IS Happening to Tabletop Roleplaying Games? Dancey & Mearls Let You K... In a way, it kind of always has been. The novels have always been there, and they have a built-in audience. The video games have always been there (going all the way back to the gold box games), and again, you...

Looking in context, those quotes seem to be in reply to the host saying that he thought the future of the RPG industry was going to be Pathfinder and D&D battling it out until one laid dead on the ground. Mike is saying that's not the case... even if Pathfinder continues outselling D&D in the...

Ever since leaving the city, Joren has been looking more the wide-eyed kid than the wise sorcerer he tries to act most of the time. Every new sight outside the city is greeted with obvious curiosity, though he doesn't say much during the travel. Now, he smiles as they step inside the inn, and...

Joren arrives at the stables around the same time as the others, checking in on his rented horse before meeting up with the others. Arriving to the conversation he says, "I'm good with the road, even if it does mean more searching to find what we're after. Better than running into more stirges...

Joren spends a good deal of time in the shop, looking through the available scrolls and other items. In the end, after spending some time browsing some wands he doesn't have time for, he just slips his share of the gold into his pouch. After the shopping is complete, he doesn't venture out on...

Joren nods and says, "It's a good idea. I think I'll be fine with a bit of rest, but some of us got bit pretty hard during the fight. And besides, who knows if we might run into these creatures again, if they're swarming." Sorry! This week has been so hectic I totally forgot to keep checking...

"It does sound like it might be connected," Joren comments. "What kind of magic was drawing the rats before? It would make sense that any kind of corruption that would stir up rats would stir up stirges as well, and other pests."

Sorry! I missed an update email. Unfortunately, I'm heading to bed, but I'll post when I get up. I am making my Fort save now, though (at +1 instead of +2, since I'm assuming Joren did take con damage/drain in the first round of the fight, based on his HP listed in the combat summaries.. if he...

Joren looks up to watch the last of the Stirges fly away, then turns to follow the others towards the injured. On seeing the obvious fate of the lizardman, he whispers a small prayer, then turns to the man Crue and Mystie are helping, though hanging back, unsure what he can do to help. He does...

Joren starts to turn towards the one in the stables, but when Jonas says he's got that one, he turns and starts to run around the stables. It's the longer path than through the stables, but he seems to know his limits and doesn't want to get caught up vaulting those fences. Double move to D5...

Joren quickly glances to his crossbow and then lowers it, raising a hand to point at the fleeing stirge that had bit Dunkel. He mutters something as he points and a ray of icy particles shoots from his finger... and misses the fleeing stirge by a large margin. Ray of Frost ranged touch attack...

Joren starts to bring up his crossbow towards the fleeing stirge, but then changes his mind, seeing that one stirge seems to be settled on Dunkel, within his reach. Lowering his crossbow he turns and reaches out with his free hand, muttering some word under his breath. There's a snapping sound...

Joren blinks, looking surprised at the swarm of creatures that is attacking them, but he mumbles a few words under his breath and the air around him momentarily shimmers. Then, reaching back he pulls out his crossbow. Standard Action: Cast Mage Armour Move Action: Draw crossbow Joren AC: 16...

Initiative: 1D20+2 = [6]+2 = 8

With Crue's warning and the shout of swarm, Joren tries to quickly dismount. Really, he needs better training. As he swings his leg over the horse to try to dismount, he catches Midnight's reins and the horse turns, throwing him off balance. He manages to get himself off of the horse in a few...

Do we have time to react to Crue's warning, or is this the surprise round and we have to wait?

Joren doesn't make any comment about the smell as it gets worse. They're in a rather exotic stables, a certain level of smell makes sense. He does look back to Jonas and Myrtle, "You alright?" Once Jonas has his horse under control again, though, Joren turns his attention back to the path ahead...

Joren's eyes widen as he sees the creatures suddenly up close, "Beautiful... strange, but..." Whatever more he was going to say is lost, however, as Midnight starts to panic and he turns his full attention to trying to calm and control the horse, to keep it with the group, "Whoa, whoa... easy...

Patting Midnight's neck reassuringly, Joren looks up towards the cage. He asks, voice somewhat soft, "What in the world are those things?" He glances to the others and then back towards the cage, but he keeps riding along, keeping pace with the group. Joren AC: 12 (10 flat-footed, 12 touch)...

Joren nods, and rides along after the others. He returns any waves with a wave of his own and a friendly smile, and makes no complaint about the smell. His attention mostly seems to be on the archway, and likely his imaginings of the world beyond. Joren will probably stay near the back of the...
