GM Expectations/Rules/Whatnot:
(1) I try to be a supportive GM and hope everyone will have fun. My message box is open if you need to contact me privately.
(2) I like the coyotecode.net die roller best for it's most direct roll history function (assuming you use the same name every time). I will probably make my own life easier with just good 'ol physical dice.
(3) We're doing group initiative using average initiative value, which means that once your team has the initiative, actions can be resolved in whatever order people post. Those on the losing team (initiative-wise) side, with above team average initiative scores, might be awarded (a pre-initiative action if their individual value beats the entire winning team.
(4) Players are encouraged to at least check on the game on a daily basis. When real life makes posting that difficult or impossible, please leave AFK messages if possible. (Note: Since we're coming up on Christmas, so slowdowns are expected.)
(5) Please include a Mini Stats block with every post that has some sort of mechanical effect, from combat to skill rolls.

[GlassEye]

[sblock=Judge Stuff]Totals for Cruendithas, Hawk, and Wahyu are below.

XP: 1,777
GP: 2,070
(This includes encounter xp/gp and time-based xp/gp earned.)

These 3 characters reached 2nd level on 16 March 2014 (and gained TBX/TBG as 2nd level from that point) after the battle in the Crypt put them well over the goal for 2nd level. I can give out specific numbers if you really want them.

[sblock=Aura]You gave out a little bit more treasure than the encounters should have had by the book but time-based gold earned more than covered that so it's golden. Also, you earned 7.28 DM credits[/sblock][/sblock]

At Moretti's Table in the Dunn Wright Inn


..........Mr Moretti.................Carla, The Maid.......

(continued from the DWI thread)

At that moment the maid and Alec return with drinks, which are quickly spread around the table and chairs provided for all. All seated, Moretti continues, "Ah, but where are my manners? I'm Antonio Moretti, and I fancy myself a glass artist. I didn't quite... ah... catch any of your names in all of the chatter. Not only for my own good, but for that of your prospective teammates, if you could all introduce yourselves and mention what skills you bring, we shall get down to brass tacks."

With that, Mr Moreti takes a sip of the house brew... and winces.

[sblock=Approvals]
Satin Knights pointed out a GM is allowed to accept characters with only 1 approval into their game while the character get their second approval. I'm invoking this option to get the game rolling. Second (final) approvals should come out here and there over the course of the game. I mention this in case anyone is concerned over the issue.

At Moretti's Table in the Dunn Wright Inn


.......Antonio Moretti.......

Mr Moretti nods, then runs his fingers through his beard, thinking. A good look a the sleeve of his rather expensive tunic makes it obvious the garment is old and somewhat worn out. He addresses each of those who have introduced themselves in turn, starting with Hawk, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Hawk. A strong sword is a good member for the team. Oh, I was perfectly serious when I suggested that you might soon be able to live somewhere better than the planks. It's not safe there."

Turning his attention to Abram, he listens, smirking a bit, and nods when the introduction is over. "Well, I see we are amongst royalty! Lord Thurston and The Tenderizer it is. I shall make sure to bet on you if ever placing wagers for a pit fight, I assure you."

Then finally, he cocks his head downward a bit to address Cruendithas, his gaze falling upon the gnome squarely. "Ah, Cruendithas, a scholar, indeed! I'm not entirely sure how much you'll need to know to help me with my problem, but knowledge is its own reward. And Venza is well served to have those about who can think as well as do battle."

Then his eyes scan the remaining job seekers, with particular interest in the small cloaked figure sitting at the table.

 

[Commander_Fallout]

The cloaked figure looked back, though raising his head did nothing to dispel the shadows obscuring the face behind his nose. Rather he did it himself, again reaching his emaciated arms out beyond the folds of his cloak to remove his hood. Beneath the nose, a toothy grin stretched from ear to long pointed ear. On either side sat a large yellow eye, and on top sat a crown of sorts, covering his heavily oiled and slicked-back hair, which reached back and up like a hook. He looked as though someone had taken a normal face and pulled it forward. "My name is Wahyu," he began, "Speaker of sooths and truths, concealer and exposer of spirits and trickery, and a chosen oracle of the fair Lady of Sorrows. I find myself to be a staunch ally in times of trouble, and I can heal your wounded if need be." He chuckled, "I'm also not terrible with a crossbow..."
