[AU] Siege on Ebonring Keep - OOC

[Rybaer]

Does anyone have any opinions as to whether we should recruit another player before pressing on? I'm not holding out much hope for Argent Silvermage at this point and I probably won't continue NPC'ing Ys-Baddaden for much longer. (He'll probably be dropped off on a side trek near the site where the next bit of the adventure is set, in case his player returns.)

Like I said, I can run this with three, but it wouldn't hurt to have more.

You might try to contact Nac Mac Feegle, he was asking to join awhile back.

We have a good group with the three of us, so I say press on. But as my experience has shown its always nice to have atleast 4 to 5 people so that things can keep moving if someone needs to take a week off (as I have just done for the past couple weeks, appologies for that been in the process of a move)

 

[Rybaer]

Yeah, I thought about emailing Nac Mac Feegle, but there is no email in his profile.

Anyway, I think I'm just going to press on with the three we've got. Assuming no one else drops out, it should be fine. There may be good places to drop in another player in the not-to-distant future should we feel it necessary.

Now, let me get on those magic items...

Oh, and as an aside, the encounter with the spryte Slyth was one of the last encounters from the original module that I'll use. She was being deceptive, yet she was also being completely honest and no harm would have come to anyone. It was amusing enough to leave it in the scenario.

Ah cool. having bought the adventure and put off reading it while in the game I am curious what you thought of it overall.

I found some useful stuff in it, and a few neat ideas that might make appearances elsewhere. The formatting of the book was particularly annoying, though. I found it very difficult to look things up - particularly in the appendix.

Ultimately, I'm just not a big module person, and trying to run this one reminded me of why. I always end up feeling like I have to perform a continuous string of contrivances in order to keep the party hitting the key items in the module. When I'm running my own material, I can just go with the flow of the players.

Hey Argent, just saw your posting about loss of internet. Good to hear you'll be back on. Can we count you in for this game as we press on to the third phase of action?

Rybear, I don't know if you keep an alt-list or if it is ridiculously full but if you do would you please throw my name on there.

Thanks.

I don't have an alt list, per se, but I could probably be talked into allowing another player to join. Any current players have an objection?

The player of Aurial of Wynndale (see here for her character sheet) has been absent for a couple months now, so that's one possibility. That character is technically still with the party. The group has also just arrived in a new town where it would be pretty easy to work someone new into the group. Either way would be okay.

But if you're going to come on board, it's Rybaer - not Rybear. Don't let the icon throw ya.
