Talofa @Voadam At some point in time I posted response this thread. As such, it appears in the "Threads with posts by doghead" list. Constantly in the the top five. Fourteen plus years, and three thousand plus posts, after the thread was started. First of all I would like to congratulate you...

"If we come out of this with anything, it gets shared equally," states Eos, surprising himself somewhat. Where did the come from? The answer comes quickly. Humans have a significant a tendency to self interest and indifferent cruelty. It's why it's time to be moving along. Past time really...

Eos takes his watch and like the others, he suspects, wonders about the torch. Would it go out if I put a cover over it? If not, would it burn through the cover? Is it a trap? A temptation to take, and set off an alarm? Maybe best to leave it where it is when we go in. Eos get bored and...

Eos is happy to leave that decision to the company leader. thotd

Eos can go rear if required. It just puts the lantern behind both Byron and Edmund. I am assuming Byron is carrying a two handed weapon (glaive) and Edmund also (bow). If so Eos will stow (Byron's) bow, and carry a lantern and axe. thotd

Listen (+7) Rolls: 4(11), 1(8), 19(26), 17(24), 13(20), 17(24) Spot (+7) Rolls: Rolls: 1(8), 3(10), 16(23), 6(13), 19(26), 17(24) Initiative (+3) Rolls: 13(16). Just in case. thotd

So, assuming that we make it through the night unmolested, what's the plan? 1. What are we doing with the three NPC? I'm inclined to leave all three at the entrance. But happy to leave it to Byron to decide. 2. For those going into the mine, what's the marching order? Maybe Byron (pole arm)...

I am, I think. Not so much my realism, but the character's. And at this point Eos doesn't have any real incentive to put his life on the line. Maybe curiosity. Lets go with curiosity for the moment. As for your other points, mostly I agree. We don't know what is at the farm, but I suspect more...

Not completely surprising. Played this campaign along time ago. I don't remember many details, but I am pretty sure that it was during one of the later books in the campaign that we deliberately "broke the adventure" by declaring the PC's were not going to chose the option adventure required...

So, assuming that the bandits (for want of a better term at the moment) don't come out during the night, what's the plan? I can see three basic alternatives: 1. Full old school, just march down into the depths. 2. Try and draw whatever is down there to the surface, and ambush them outside. 3...

Eos nods. Wait, watch and deal with the bandits at first light, when everyone has recovered. "If they come out before the morning, remain out of sight and wake the others first." "I'll take Mid watch."

Correction. Eos is not equipped for underground work. Byron and Edmund appear to be much better prepared. Or carry less stuff :) thotd

Prior to departing the farm: Eos grins, and slaps Byron on the shoulder. It is as if the man had heard Eos thinking. Just before entering the forest, Eos jams his spear into the ground and hangs his tabard from it. Outside the Cave: Eos considers the mine entrance, then the other members of...

16 years ... :ROFLMAO: thotd

So, after nearly two decades of PbP, I would say I have seen plenty of games die through lack of posting [1], but none through excessive posting. The point, my approach to PbP is post whenever I have the time or see an opening. That said, if I jump in early, just cut in and say so. Absolutely...

NP. Conveying what is in your head into words is always a challenge. So, looks like Byron has decided it is worth it. Will Track at half speed to allow other to remain in position/range. I will add a second track check to the IC thread OOC. thotd.

So, apologies, this is probably an old/dead issue. Is the function identified by the OP now no longer extant? thotd

So, we are going after the raiders ... Eos shrugs, it's all much of a muchness to him. He glances at the sky. Four hours until sun fall. If the raiders are smart, they won't have attacked anything less than three hours from home. Maybe we will find something. Maybe." Eos turns to Edmund. "Stay...

Drinking and carousing? I had to read this a few times, but I think that the farmer is dead. thotd

Setting off: Eos nearly stumbles in surprise as Edmund breaks into song. Having spent years doing his best to travel quietly and unnoticed, it takes the elf some time to work his mind around the notion of singing while travelling. Eventually he reconciles himself to the idea that they are not...
