I guess I'll make rolls for him for now. This looks like it's going to be a running fight, so I can introduce him when he shows up again. The group, in general is on guard, and so when Ismene steps out of the woods and yells "Hey, Ruthak! Come on out, you miserable slaving son of an otyugh!"...

Much as it pains me to admit this, I haven't the foggiest idea what's going on. I lost the thread of this adventure somewhere around the time Tenchuu swapped out characters. Since then I've been happily playing from encounter to encounter, but with no real sense of continuity. However, when...

Have we lost another player? Horticulture last posted on July 7.

"Let us make camp quickly, then," Hú Lí says. "Aerys, my friend, shall we join in setting up camp? I remember you were helping the sailors on the ship. I am confident you have skills that will be very useful. When we are done, we can gather around, and I will sing for you the rest of the...

"Sounds good," says Ismene. "Dirk, you take handsome here, and lay off a short ways. If we get into trouble, start dropping arrows on to them. Carlotta, Thais, you come with me, and we'll go knock on their front door. You guys head through the stables. With any luck, we'll make enough noise...

"Greetings, stranger," Hú Lí says to Kane, "The valiant Noriaki," she mimes swinging a huge sword, "the staunch Castile," she stands sturdily as if swinging an axe, "the noble Takahaan," she portrays a lunging sword thrust, "and the inspiring Captain Dartmoor," she moves her arm forward as if...

"I'm not so sure about setting fire to the stables," Ismene says. "They might send someone to check it out, but it's not as if they keep anything valuable there. It mostly doesn't even have a roof. As for doing the prisoner trick, I'm not sure if they'd buy it. You don't look much like a...

"Lie still," Hú Lí says to Gelik, "and the poison will flow less quickly. I shall sing of the sun on the blossoming trees after the rainstorm. I hope it will help calm you, as we tend to our wounds." She taps softly, rhythmically on her drum as she sings in a tone less high-pitched than she...

The journey goes quickly, and before too long Mallaby's merry band of groomsmen can see the tower that is their goal. As they approach, Ismene produces a map of the general area, and points out some salient features on it. "We should be able to get pretty close without them seeing us," she...

Hú Lí dances around between the webs, so that she is standing facing the big spider with all of her allies behind it. She bobs her head, then looking straight at the spider, blows a sharp, almost tangible blast on her flute, which sends the oversized arachnid staggering back, stumbling as its...

Thanks for that. Now, since renau1g is still out for a bit, could I please get a judge to approve rewards for these characters? Thanks again to the hard-working judges here.

Hú Lí continues playing her flute. Nothing occurs in a rather spectacular fashion. Standard:Staggering Note (will) vs. Joompin' Spider (1d20+4=5) Move: total up d20 rolls on invisible castle since the start of this campaign: 8,2,18,9,1,1,14,8,1,1,9,6,11,2,1 for an average of 6.133 Minor: look...

"Right," says Ismene. "Time to get rid of some pests. Edgar, take the kids back to the Grove. We'll catch up with you afterwards. The rest of you, let's get going, and, um, be careful. That spot that swallowed up your friend is still. . ." as if on cue, the wild magic portal buzzes again...

Hú Lí dances closer, keeping a wary eye on the big spider, and taking up a position near Takahaan, ready to react when the creature comes closer. Move: to I14 Standard: Ready Action, triggered when the big spider attacks one of my allies. If the spider attacks Castile, Blunder vs. the spider...

Hú Lí dances forward, following in Takahaan's wake, and keeping an eye peeled for more foes. When she reaches a point about halfway to where Castile and Takahaan are now standing, she looks past them, eyeing the big spider, and plays a warbling series of notes that catches the attention of the...

Could I possibly get a judge to look over the characters in Get Me to the Church on Time? Goldenhorn only has one approval (from renau1g), and Spider doesn't have any. Tyris also needs a judge approval, but I can delay giving him XP, since he's not in danger of leveling up just yet. Thanks!

Hú Lí's flute playing intensifies, and she dances, moving rhythmically from foot to foot as she plays. The music is now martial, bolstering Takahaan's courage again. Hú Lí motions for Aerys to step away from the fight before she, too is bitten, which she does, allowing Ishirou to then step...

Whoops. Misplaced a "not". Sorry 'bout that. Here I am disagreeing with someone I actually agree with--which is another feature I've seen in internet arguments frequently.

To an extent, yes, but people tend to say "poor design" when they really mean "poor design for what I want to do" or "design that was not what I expected and I had gotten my hopes up for without any real evidence" or even "design that is different from they way I've always done it".

Carlotta looks somewhat suspiciously at the bees, but accepts them. She picks one up gingerly, holding on to the stinger, bites the rest off, and chews it slowly. "Not bad," she says, "but I'd still rather have the honey." "Okay, let's do this thing," Ismene says. "We will keep handsome...
