Niobe's Dilemma (Manzanita Judging)

[nimisgod]

OOG: Bront can always recruit from the RDI to supplement our numbers. If they don't get back and help us somehow, I think even they would be hard-pressed to ask for a share of the reward.

So yeah. We're paying. 40 from Wil and 40 from Lasair

 

[Bront]

"No, but if he's near, as Zephos suggests, then maybe we can find him if we ask for him? I can fill in the description a bit." Troi says.

OOC: I guess I could get more, though the time distortion thing is a problem...

 

[nimisgod]

Wil nods. "Let us do that then. Discreet inquiry in the taverns and inns should yield results, unless you know of a better place to ask, Troi"

OOG: There is precedent of a DM or two who recruited from the RDI during an adventure. I'm not sure who he/she did it, but the new PCs came from an inn within the city they were in and joined promptly. It might be too much trouble and I can't really think of how to justify the need.

I just think that it's a waste because there are probably PCs in there that are craving for an adventure...

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Well, we're almost there already--they'd be in for just the tail end, so unless we absolutely need them for combat, we should be okay to find new friends after this is over )

 

[Bront]

OOC: I put out a flier for 1-2 more. Sorry for being busy.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: NP. Secretly, I hope nobody responds so we get more XP)

 

[Bront]

OOC: You only get XP if you live though... *whistles inocently* Honestly, I hate recruiting mid adventure, I'd rather have everyone stay, but it's hard with just 2, and the one with much of the investigative skill (Troi) missing. I'm taking no more than 2 more max.

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Can we at least lose the two PCs that dropped then? I'm thinking we could win it with just 4, including the current 4. Dividing the XP by 6 when the last two people joined at the last second just before the actual combat and the rest of us have been here for months...well, it would be my normal luck in these Living games, so I guess what does it matter? )

*Lasair nods, ready to go with Wil and Troi right now.*

 

[Bront]

OOC: Yeah, I'll take care of them. and depending on how you go, there could be a lot more to the adventure...

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Yeah. Maybe we can hire on the new PCs for 1000 gold each and a share of loot from bad guys we nab or something instead of having them as direct hirees from the lord? Something like that could help a bit to deal with the disparity in when they jumped in)
