Evilhalfling:

[sblock] Hey there Evilhalfling, I'm just confused by what you meant/where refering to in the last line in your recent post in the IC thread.

I'm talking about the:
"yah sure he told this you afterward, you didnt want that job anyway. "

What "job" are you referring to? Something that is going on now, or as in reference to whatever happened before with Grim and Fizz? [/sblock]

Reglar horses are not avalible, They were not native to the islands, and the few herds were decimated long ago. You could try a boat, there are a few captains willing to dare passage between the isles. Its not as safe, but it is faster. The time on the low road is based on traveling at 20'. There is also the normal force/extended march options. Renting a post horse shortens the journey to a harrowing 9 hr ride.

Anyone else thinking we should forget about the boat option and look into the post horse option? Evilhalfling, does any of the characters have any idea of how much it would be to rent post horses for us to get there? (or, is renting a post horse the "phantom steed" that you where speaking of that costs 250 gp?) If it's the 250gp, looks like we'll be gearing up for some good 'ol forced marching! lol

@redswan -

Spoiler

the job was something the veiled man was trying to hire you and Fitzz for, several years ago. You were very diplomatic as outlined in IC thread and he drew on you, whereupon you beat the crap out of him, as a 20+ str has its advantages. Its prolly not the same man, just from the same culture. Fitzz also may have mentioned that the veil makes a convient disguise.
I forgot to bring up languages in character creation, but the Green Islanders speak one type of common and you would have learned another. So you and the veiled man would share a language that no one else speaks, but it is too late now so instead of languages just different dialects.

@redswan + : The post is run by two sorcerers one in Cebu and one in Cillune.
They send riders on phantom steeds 2/week carrying mail basically. It is a 8-9 hour trip.
they will cast phantom steeds for travelers but at a much higher price- the 250 mentioned earlier.

How do you folks feel about attempting and every other day posting schedule?
2/week was just too slow for me. If everyone posts more often, I may speed up to depending on workload vs procrastination ratio. But I think I can consistently post every other day. If there are any problems let me know this is my first PbP (aside from Halfling quest) and I am still feeling my way around- for instance dice rolling - I was thinking that you should post modifiers and I would roll the dice and post the numbers and results. If there is a preferred or better way let me know.

I'm fine with you doing the rolling, I think it would speed up combat especially. Also fine with every-other-day posting.

I would *prefer* an every other day/everyday posting, I like things to move fast. It's kind of dissapointing when I get home from work and hit the refresh button and see no new posts Also, about dice rolling, I like it when the DM rolls as well, players post their IC stuff, and then at the bottom of the post post their OoC stuff - what it is *exactly* that they are doing, and their total modifier numbers, the DM just rolls and adds the modifier. (Makes things fast and easy )

So would that be 250 gp PER PERSON, or 250 gp for all of us? I know that Grim doesn't have that kind of money, *either* way.

Anyone have any thoughts? Looks like we'll be a 'walkin and maybe some forced-marching. lol

 

[Ferrix]

250gp a person I think.

I say we commandeer a boat, walking is lame.

Everyday posting for me is generally fine. Although I'm a bit sick at the moment so I'm a bit touch and go.

Commandeer, as in steal our own and sail away on it? Grim wouldn't go for that. It sounds pretty dangerous, Grim already doesn't like the water, and I don't know if you checked the IC thread lately, but the current captain we where asking said we'd have to cross 3 dragons' territories, but he would take us, for 1,000 gp. We certainly don't have *that* kind of money!

(oh yeah, and hope you feel better! Drink lots of water and take vitamin C + a multi-vitamin. I'm a gym-rat so I take crazy amounts of vitamins every day, and I couldn't tell you the last time I was sick. PLUS I work in a casino as a poker dealer and have to sit infront of alot of sick old people all day.. it's *beyond* me why they come when they're sick, but they do.. heh)

I'm an exceptionally active person myself (dancer, capoeirista) I don't do the whole vitamin thing though, just eat well and you rarely ever have any issues. This is the first time I've had a nasty cold in probably a few years. And by gym-rat do you mean climbing gym?

Weightlifting/Bodybuilder Also, I've always been intrigued by capoeia (sp?) and have wanted to try it out sometime.
