[LPF] The Curse of the Brown Auroch

[Gorgon Heap]

OOC[sblock]Hold up. I'm reading this as all we're looking at now is a handful of half-conscious bats on the floor. Does somebody have a sack or something I can just scoop'em into (is there a bucket - or, hell, even a tapestry here in the hallway)?, because stomping on a bunch of tiny helpless animals is unpleasantly cruel.[/sblock]

 

[Grayn]

[sblock]Samad can try a Nature roll to see how much he knows about bat swarms or just give it a shot to see what happens. The amount of bats on the floor are in the hundreds, if not thousands, by the looks of it. Picture a thick carpet of wings and dark, hairy bodies...which are now beginning to take to the air.[/sblock]

 

[Commander_Fallout]

[sblock=OOC]He cannot. I traded away the loremaster ability for my archetype, and I don't have any ranks in K: Nature. :/[/sblock]

 

[Gorgon Heap]

[sblock]Oh. Seems I really had no clear picture of this. ... This seems kinda dumb. Are they magicked? Why would bats just attack like that? And there's really nothing more I can do with a bow and arrow. How about oil? Anybody got oil we can spray them with before chucking a torch at them?[/sblock]

 

[Grayn]

[sblock]Yes, why would two zombie-fied dogs climb out of a portal in the middle of the room? Why would there be blood-thirsty bats swarming in a room of an inn? And those noises from the other rooms, whats that about? Its quiet the mystery, eh?[/sblock]

 

[Commander_Fallout]

[sblock=OOC]THere are barrels of alcohol down below us, but I don't know if lighting that on fire would be the best idea...[/sblock]

 

[Gorgon Heap]

[sblock]Crumbs. This is a lot of OOC discussion, and I hope Grayn doesn't mind. But I feel we're really running out of options for dealing with this swarm. Should we just run into another room? [scoff] This is going to start looking like Scooby Doo.[/sblock]

 

[Grayn]

GM: I don't mind some discussion, but I would like to see some actions so we can keep this moving.

 

[Grayn]

GM: Moving on...

The bats continue to take to the air and begin to form a thickening cloud. Lightfeather's silhouette begins to fade behind the bats. Paskell drops back to stand to the left of Samad.

[sblock=OOC from a LPF Judge]Guys I am disappointed. If you cannot RP and do more than post one-liners and be anti-social, you might as well play a board game or a Computer RPG. If you don't enjoy writing at all, then PbP role-playing is probably not for you.

We Judges and GMs put way too much time and effort in setting things up and providing adventures to get any enjoyment for 1 sentence per week from a player. I feel sorry for Grayn that he has to experience this his first time GMing for us. I doubt he is having any fun and cannot blame him if he doesn't want to GM again after this. [/sblock]
