OOC: Gah! Okay, gotta think tactically! I'm going to have Dudles attack with his pitchfork, and Borok move up to support him with his hammer. Xim is going to stand back and launch sling stones when he sees a target appear. One sec and I'll roll the attacks and damage rolls (Dudles, Borok...

OOC: (sigh) IC: Dudles steps gingerly forward, peering into the opening to the tower. Borok moves to put a hand on his shoulder, but Xim stops him with a look and a shrug, and the dwarf readies his hammer while the halfling readies his sling with a stone.

Duncan rocks for a moment on his feet at the vision, before his body's automatic stabilizers kick in and keep his mass stable. Outwardly this and a slight quivering in his eyes is all that shows he is not simply staring off into space. Returning to the now, the warrior moves into the city with...

Xim, Borok and Dudles, cowed by the death of brave Alaric, follow along mutely. Xim, thinking only of revenge upon the dark powers of this place, keeps his sling ready.

OOC: yes, 200 seems a bit much for ten days of food. Consider that 10gp is said to weigh approx 1lb, that's 20lbs of gold for a shopping spree... I mean, we couldn't carry that much around, and merchants couldn't possibly make change... Then again, we are 5th level characters, so maybe we...

Borok moves to assist, and Dudles with him. Xim stands back to cover them all with his sling, keenly aware of his mortality.

Elandra nods along with her companion's points. "Not a Bechdel the Bard sort of Ballad, that's for sure! Still, isn't it great that the desert is right next door to us? We could, like, just wlak over there! And it's at the center of the desert? Does that mean we could follow a map to the...

"Why hello! Good bard, we were wondering if you knew anything about, um, Nunpuldrm the Green Dragon? Y'know, tales about the horde or the heroes that defeated the dragon, and so forth. We heard some travellers arguing about the tales, but they didn't tell them to us, and... well, curiosity...

Zim follows closely by Narancasta, with Borok and Dudles in tow. The turnip farmer-turned-porter is looking this way and that, terrified of the situation he's found himself in. "Oh, where to now?" he thinks aloud. The halfling Zim chuckles. "To death, friend. Let's have at it and see if we...

Duncan continues to look over the view, letting the wind blow around him for a long moment... then turns back to Sevarr, tossing the useless junk in his hand to the ground. The gladiator's look is blank, his voice monotone, as he speaks to the merchant. "I made a call and killed all the...

Duncan rushes the others out, but quick-fast grabs at the walls, the panels, for anything that could make up for the destruction with some loot. [roll0] On the surface Duncan looks at the merchant. "We'll need to move on." He says, then passes him by and moves to the edge of the camp...

Borok, Dudles and Xim gather their wits about them. "He was a good man, that Alaric. We best avenge their deaths." The dwarf passes Dudles Alaric's sword and helps put his other belongings in the porter's sack. "So where to now?" Zim says, fixing his gear and preparing to go into the dark below.

Was Follow Me the one with the temple and the shadows and the cold? Yep, all me! That group was great, and I remember you were in it all the way to the end, iirc. That, btw, is the first module I ever FINISHED in pbp without vanishing players or forum crashes, etc. Player or GM. Well, there...

(sigh) and I already have both of those! Ah well. They are amazing reads, if you don't already have them!

Elandra shines her optimism at the Innkeeper, and puts a few coins on the table. "Aye, good Innkeeper, we'll be taking a room. Have you got any entertainers here tonight? I'm up for some stories with my food and drink. A warm cider and beef stew, if you would?" Elandra tells the others...

Also: loving this game, despite the character death and discussion. The RP has been fun, and I'm learning a great deal.

Similar situation for me, plus I'm trying to (ironically) write up my own DCC module (the game and the Appendix N influence inspires me, even if I seem to suck at actual play!) for my production company's first product! It's easy to prep as a GM, I think, because most of the crunch is in the...

Fair point. I do think I'm learning about my game preferences, in terms of telling a story. I like having choice, if not in particulars like exact stats, then at least in what class I'll be able to play. And hit points as a buffer against mistakes or random traps. Random death vs...

Hey all! Sorry for the delay, busy couple of days. Gah! Alaric dead! (moans something about leaving town for a couple of decades and they change everything...) I'm here. Don't know what to do, though, as Xim can't take wizard levels, and he isn't much good at anything else.

Duncan grunts. "Move!" he barks at the others, and points to the doorway. He waits while the others go up, readying himself to pick up those who stumble on the way with his superior speed and reflexes.
