[Defunct] A Dark and Stormy Night

Mark Chance

Boingy! Boingy!
The new turn is up. Rayex: Where you at?

I'm out of town with the family later today through Friday evening. I'll be able to post (assuming it's necessary) Saturday and/or Sunday. I fly out for Colorado Springs on Monday and won't be back until July 11.

Thus, we're hitting a lull in the adventure in terms of my involvement. Interestingly enough, we have more or less completed the first scene. No one is going to be tracking a baby-toting zombie in a torrential downpour after sundown.

For the action so far, each character receives 188 XP.

Well, it's about 11:00 PM my time. I going to read a bit more G. K. Chesterton and then go to bed. This'll probably be the last you hear from me until Saturday, July 12. Tomorrow I'm busy packing, running last minute errands, reassuring my wife and kids that I'll be home at the end of the week, et cetera.

Have fun!

BTW, we need a fourth player. This person can either take over the psion or else come in with a new character following the guidelines in the OP. If you know someone, send them this way.
 

Hi,

I've heard a rumour that you could use a valiant cleric in your party? ;)

Care to consider me as a possible candidate? :lol:

- I only played a cleric once in a table game. Castle Ravenloft. Flying, winged skulls. First fight TPK. Good omen? Bad omen? - You decide...

:)

Hi,

I've heard a rumour that you could use a valiant cleric in your party? ;)

Indeed. Check the OP. Clerics work somewhat differently due to certain house rules. I'd like to kick this game back off by Monday evening, moving the party onto part two.
 


I had taken over this character here in another PbP-game.

Liked it so far, so I could simply take him over again, of course with the changes
you say. :) Here's the old charsheet:

Background:[sblock] Two men lunge at each other on a padded mat in a simple shack
that has obviously seen better days. One is taller, his short cropped black hair
retreating from a bald spot at the top of his head. The other is smaller, younger
with wavy brown hair parted down the center of his head, slick with sweat.

They lock arms, muscles straining as they attempt to gain leverage on each other.
The younger does, and twisting around to the man's side, kicks at the back of the
other's calf while pulling down. Both men fall, the balding man grunting in
frustration.

Seconds later, the younger has the older in a pin, arms locked around his neck.
The older man taps his fist to the ground, and the younger releases his neck,
accepting the submission. Both rise to their feet slowly.

"Nice work today, Dacen. You're actually starting to give me a challenge, once in
awhile." The older man smirks, reaching for a towel to dry his face.

Dacen smiles sadly. He reaches for his circular holy symbol, and puts it back over
his neck. He can see his trainer is feeling his age, just as his gym is. The man
has a family to feed, but he knows this job is taking an ever increasing toll on
him. But if he were to hold back any... the man's pride would not suffer it.

"We've gone late again, haven't we?" Dacen looks out the window, wincing at the
sun's position in the sky. "We need to be more timely, my duties-"

"You're too young to be going soft on me," the older man interrupts.

"Last time was the third time this month Sara threatened to kill me," Dacen retorts
mildly, fishing out some silver from his coin pouch and slapping it in his
trainer's palm.

"Hmph. Fine, we'll try and cut it down a bit. But that mean's you'll have to work
harder, no goofing around!"

Dacen shakes his head, "See you next week."

***

"Late again Dacen," the stern cleric says without looking up as Dacen enters her
office.

"Forgive me, I was-"

"Wrestling, I know. At least you are consistent when you are late. And despite
what you may think, I don't object to your hobby. When it interferes with your
duties here, however," she looks up with an arched eyebrow.

Dacen bows his head, "I understand."

Sara sighs, "I have something different for you today Dacen. Actually, it'll
probably keep you tied up for a little while. Have you heard of the Ripper?"

Dacen nods slowly, "I've heard stories of what he did."

She looks shrewdly at the young cleric, "He's back. I want you to stop him and
bring him to justice."

Dacen raises his eyebrows, "Me? Is this your way of following up on your threat?"

She shakes her head, "No Dacen, I'm serious. You'll need to be careful, and you
won't be able to do it alone, but this killer has long evaded His justice. You
are to be His instrument in this."

Dacen nods, "Alright. I have faith in his judgment... and yours."

Boingy! Boingy!
The new turn is up. PC responses are wildly appropriate.

Ivid: If you want to introduce your character at his time, please do so. For a hook, he can be part of the Church of St. Cuthbert, if you'd like.
 

Would have done it earlier, but the site keeps timing out for me since Sunday evening... Strange...

I am okay with Dacen travelling from Miller's Court (possibly in Veluna?) to Hommlet to become Terjon's apprentice at the temple, after the happenings of "Legend of the Ripper". :)

Just to back that up, for my character, the house rules just mean to change the AC (at least for the moment)? - Just to make sure I don't do anything wrong!:)

Apart from that, here I come!
