Cave of the Spiders OOC

[JimAde]

Thanks! The storm ended up not hitting Houston as hard as we though, which is good because we ended up not being able to leave. I've been crazy busy with preparations for the hurricane and now I'm gonna be busy with unpreparations, so I'll definitely be back on my posting schedule by... Thursday or Friday. Until then, spare posting, but some nonetheless.

Great news! Looks like Rita made a major mess but it wasn't as bad as it might have been.

We'll forge on as best we can and I'll NPC Erethinol until D20Dazza comes back.

Ferrix? Lord Raven? Maybe I wasn't clear in the IC thread but feel free to post. Your characters are arriving quickly and I'm not going to jump the PCs for at least a couple of minutes.

IC or OOC minutes?

Is my game dying already? Lord Raven? Ferrix? Bueller?

Anyway, for those of you still tuned in, I just wanted to make it clear that I'm not going anywhere. Real life issues sometimes come up, I know. D20Dazza's on vacation, so he's accounted for. If we don't hear from either Ferrix or Lord Raven by Monday, maybe I'll open up an alternate slot (may be time to find a convenient captive ). Hopefully it's just a brief interruption.

"Oh, a captive! And this one has hit points!"

"Oh, a captive! And this one has hit points!"

I introduced a PC in my regular group with this tried-and-true method, but I gave him some ability damage, some HP damage and a boatload of nonlethal damage to reflect his "rough treatment". When the cavalry arrived he helped in his own rescue with a spell or two then promptly fell unconscious.

I'm still here, I was just a bit lazy, I was waiting for someone else to post first.

Apologies to the folks loitering outside the cave. I've been crushed at work today and unable to put together the next post. I have an OOC question, though. Are you planning to hang around outside until Lucas finishes his recon, or are you going in once everyone can see?

 

[Jdvn1]

I'm fine with going in as soon as he finishes recon, but then I'd have waited to take the vial until he was done.

Jdvn1: Girble still doesn't have a melee weapon. I assume you want one. I'd suggest something with some heft to it, like a heavy mace or a morningstar. Also, if you want to retro-actively fiddle your equipment around to get a repeating crossbow you can. Just don't trade in anything you've actually used already (like your armor). Girble's current damage output might get pretty annoying for you, especially since you only get one attack a round.
