Ouch. I hadn't caught that aspect from the write up... As to how to move forward... I'm still very much crazy busy (I just added a 20 hour per week teaching/advising contract to my existing workload), so starting again with a new character would probably not be the best idea for me right now...

Sprout - on the very edge of collapsing from wounds - will hurl himself to the floor, crushing as many bugs beneath him as he can while trying to roll out of the swarm (I have no idea how to resolve this in game terms. Perhaps doing unarmed attack damage, plus movement - say 1/3 speed? out of...

Sprout wipes gore from his dagger and asks: "Anybody else feel weird?"

Seeing that he has the drop on the thing, Sprout moves quickly to take up position on the far side of the creature, stabbing it with his dagger before it's fully aware of what's happening. (Dagger +2 Melee (vs it's Flat Footed AC) 1d4+2 + 1d6 Sneak Attack Damage) "Vixtrin! Lets try and keep...

Shaking off his odd malaise, Sprout perks up and resumes standard scouting mode - trying to keep about 10 feet ahead of the party, torch aloft and dagger drawn. "I'll keep my eye out for traps and the like if you educated folk keep working on these squiggly rune things..." (Spot +2, Search +4)

Sprout raises an eyebrow at this, wondering if he should assert his established role as scout; but keeps his thoughts to himself, remembering how easy it was to get injured out in front. He contents himself with keeping a close eye on proceedings. Upon reaching the sarcophagus area, Sprout...

After waking and smiling at Nollan's efforts at early morning good cheer, Sprout takes a few minutes to check his gear and make ready for the day's adventuring. "Sure beats hanging around THIS place..."

Sprout will head back with Fintan...

It certainly makes sense to NPC the less 'social' NPC, simply to avoid having to take 'front and centre' too much. Mechanics is a factor too (spell prep and the like). Leaves us with a Bard, a Cleric, a Rogue and a Fighter. That's not BAD. Maybe we're a bit too strong on 'Interpersonal' and...

I understand - that indecisiveness has kept me from posting as well. I AM iffy. This was my first PbP game (after 20+ years of gaming and several years on this board). I was very pumped up in the beginning, and things were fun. I felt invested in what was going on. Then the game went up in...

Let us do please divvy this up. The Alchemists Fire would have served well against those bugs, but I had completely forgotten that we had it! Sprout would be interested in a Flask of Oil and an Alchemists Fire if there are no objections... I seem to recall that Lartis had the Lantern...

Hey folks - Sorry about that. I was away from the In Campaign board for just a bit, but pretty much away from the OOC discussion altogether since the boards crashed. No one particular reason - a bit of a 'rush' business wise combined with an almost crushing despondency after the boards ate our...

OOC: I'm kinda surprised the item in question isn't hanging from dozens of seedy doorways - given the generally seedy and questionable moral character of Diamond Lake... Or, failing that, get a glassmaker to cut some red glass (glass + selenium + cadmium sulfide or a tiny amount of gold...

I'm pretty easy... I can keep my eyes and ears open while appearing inconspicious...

Sprout does some tentative stretching, noting with pleasure that his injuries are more or less healed. Smiling, he nods his thanks towards the newcomer. "There was some discussion of hitting the town to see if there was any untoward interest in our absences... Maybe pick up a red lantern too."

At this, Spaul will sketch a little bow, although still a bit flustered by Vixtrin's outburst and vaguely uncomfortable with losing Lartis, whom he'd started to quite like...) After other introductions and whatnot have transpired, Sprout will pull himself together, give the newcomer a lopsided...

"It looks like Vixtrin could take a while getting back to full health. Perhap some of us could use that time to pop into town and investigate whether there's anything untoward going on. Fore-warned being fore-armed and all that. Oh, and we could pick up a red lantern while we're at it."

"I didn't find one, but I'm thinking that there might be a way <i>up</i> too..."

Well, I'm a bit worse for wear myself... Perhaps it would be best to withdraw for the day and tend to our injuries. Any thoughts as to the best place to hole up? We could camp out near the entrance, or perhaps we could occupy that old Mine Office...

Assuming the aberation still poses a threat when he gets a chance to act, Sprout will move along the North West Wall to get a clear shot (so that Lartis no longer offers the creature any cover) and fires another bullet at it. (Ranged Attack +2 , 1d4+2)
