Against the Giants 5e PBP (Full)

[FitzTheRuke]

Funny trivia for you: I was looking for the name of Chief Nosnra's wife, and I noticed that it was different in the TFtYP version and the 4e Dungeon Mag version. I looked it up and found a third name! Here's how it breaks down:

Solka in the original GD1-3 Against the Giants; Morzul in the 4e Dungeon Magazine remake; & Grutha in the 5e Yawning Portal update.

Now, I'm inclined to assume that this means that he has three wives and that any of the three can be at the steading or out on raids (or doing other things) depending on when you're there. So, if you take a long rest, there's a random possibility that a wife might show up (along with whatever other possibilities of changes as time passes).

Okay, I managed to roll rounds in both games in one go each. Sorry about the wait, gang. I know these fights are rather long-winded too. Both groups managed to cascade encounters a bit (it's easy enough to do if you're not really careful)!

The avalanche has begun; it is too late for the pebbles to vote.

Hey folks,

Heads up: I'm moving from Canada to the USA for work, and with 3 kids, my life is hectic to say the least. If you find I'm holding up the round, please assume Gimlak will mind spike and telekinetically shove by default. I'm still loving this game, and will follow it closely, but I may not be able to post on a daily basis for the next couple of weeks. Sorry about the inconvenience, and I'll do my best to keep up.

@FitzTheRuke, this also applies to the Candlekeep game. Please don't hesitate to call me out if you really need to post.
Cheers,

SG

I hope the move goes smoothly for you and your family. That's a huge step.

Best wishes for the move, I spent a month moving 20 km, you moving an entire country with 3 kids is epic!

OOC: Fun fact! Sat down to post 3 times in the last 2 days and been distracted by life, kids and ADHD! Post forthcoming. Thanks for the tag!

I do that ALL the time! (With the same three reasons!) LoL.

Just a heads up I am going camping with my son on Wednesday through the weekend. I will have minimal internet access while there. If you need to have Quinn do something feel free.

Just in case Quinn will cast Pass Without Trace before we move back to the steading. I will also transform into an owl to scout the area when we arrive. If Tenibor does not cast Telepathic Bond again I will create an eerie token and hand it to someone so I can relay what I see while scouting.

My 8 year old has it as well, which makes him all the more distracting.

Okay, I took Gimlak's turn to help Steve out (probably still busy with the move). So I finally got Group 2's round rolled. Double-check my notes if you have a sec. I was a little rushed and may have missed some updates for your character (or the damage dealt).

FYI, my job was cut as I was moving. This happened a few days ago. I’m now jobless, but fortunately haven’t sold my family home and was able to get out of the purchase of the new one. This is a fresh wound, and my head isn’t straight. Sorry for the soap opera. I’ll need a week or two to get over my anger and everything else going through my head. Ill come back soon. I really enjoy this game, but my head isn’t straight. Thanks for understanding.

What a terrible situation -- I'm pleased you aren't homeless, but this sounds horrific. Take care. Be well. We hope to see you soon.

Oh man, that really sucks. I'm glad you were able to back out of the house purchase/sale.

Best of luck in finding a new job! Not the uncertainty I'd want right now, especially with kids.

That sure sounds rough. Sorry to hear.

Yeah, take care. Hopefully things go well and improve for you and your family
