[OOC] A Game of Trust

Vendetta: Spot just got filled by a former player... I should have mentioned that here; it's pretty evident to all the current players, so I forgot it would go unnoticed by prospective ones who came across the thread.

Tempted to open up a seventh spot, as I hate turning down a player :) but it's hard to justify, as I only like to do that if I have reason to suspect that somebody's going to drop in the near future -- which is to say, I'd usually do it, as players dropping is the natural state of PbP, but at last I think we've got a group of true long-termers assembling.

How interested are you in this game? In other words, I'm persuadable if you're willing to be persuasive (big hint: "I'm willing to take over Shavah or Hiritus" is very persuasive), but if you're just looking around for a game to play, well, best of luck in your search. :)

Hey, no worries, sir. I don't want to "force" (even if under friendly persuasion) you into busting open a new slot unless you wanted it in the first place. You look like a fantastic GM from what I'd read already. So if you have a slot open up, I'll be happy to fill it.
 

Rowf.

Without pulling back the curtain any farther than is necessary (I'm not fully dressed, and no one wants to see that), I just wanted to stick my toe in the water and see if anyone has any complaints about the current, ah, verbal encounter. Because I know I'd have some. But before I start trying to field the problems I would hypothetically have as a player, I figured I might as well ask if any of you actual players have any actual problems.

Heh... I have the terrible feeling I've just confused a number of people.

(IC, I have that feeling too, but much of that confusion is temporary, at least...)
 

Well, I'm almost ready myself to compile a PDF of the last two threads, just to have a firm grip on Fendric's point of reference. For example, just after I posted, I remembered the white dove that flew away when Exantrius died. Fendric would have remembered that, I think, as it took place perhaps at the exact midpoint between when they left the Inn in Hedrogura, and now. Apologies if it squeezes too many people out as the young cleric gets himself sorted.

Anyway, how long would you estimate, GP, this game has taken in game time?

*nods* I'm still trying to figure out how to help out with the wealth of information which already exists -- everything I've tried so far (the Story Hour, the little snippets I had at the start of this thread) keeps getting outpaced by the length of the game itself, heh. Between this and your meeting with Rhandoril (assuming you still do that, and I don't see why you wouldn't), there will shortly be a wealth of new information to deal with.

At the risk of sounding pedagogical, I do recommend taking notes... Still trying to find a good way to create some sort of reference guide that everyone can use & contribute observations to... It'll make a difference.

If anyone wants to go back and count, feel free, but as I remember it:

~2 weeks between Hedrogura & Bethel (or Jance, rather).
~1 week in and around Bethel, then on to Yattro's station
~1 week over the mountains to Eivanrach.

Padding it with a few fudge days, I'd say an even month is fair enough. I think Exantrius died ten days into the adventure, but I'm not positive on that number... At any rate, it was somewhere between the quarter- and half-way point. Hope that's accurate enough to answer your question.
 

Well, as to in-game confusion : Raven has joined the companie after the main events, so he doesn't have a clue as to what the hell is going on here. For the moment he's content just listening to what is going on, but he's getting quite worked up. Near bursting I would say. He's to independent to take this kind of half-arsed answers from someone who feels smugly superior. Run away from some country bumpkin wearing that ring? So that more innocents can fall under it's spell? Yeah right. And why should we trust that guy? I've been succeeding in two will saves to keep silent, but I dunno how long that's gonna last.
As to OOC confusion. Well, I dunno what kind of DM you are. Your rat-bastardliness-level is a great unknown. I know that if I was a Gm I'd **** * * *** *** * ***** *** **** *** (Auto-censure to avoid gving the GM some bad ideas). Anyway we'd be screwed big-time.
 

DrZ: :)

Anyway, regarding cashflow, given Fendric's advocacy for Hiritus/Shavah (and the fact that it doesn't make such a huge difference), I think +280gp on whatever you had prior to the sale is a fair divvying up. If you don't know what you had before the sale, just assume you have 300gp now, unless you're quite sure you had more than that in cash.

Regarding the halfling rings, those are just ordinary rings of the ornamental sort, with no magic power. (Which explains why I forgot all about them.) Given the fact that the halflings bestowed these rings on everyone (including the vast quantity of Heironeans you were carrying at the time), I can't imagine that I intended them to be any more than a token gesture at the time -- those halflings were rich, but not rich enough to afford 16 of even the cheapest magic rings.

If I remember correctly, the only magic items you picked up & still have are the three periapts o' wisdom -- anyone know differently?
 

Ah, OK. Come to think of it, Fendric will need trail rations this shopping trip, then, considering that between Yattro's station and now, he has been fed.

I'm without PHB for the moment, but I do have eTools 3.5. I'll feed my purchases into that, and keep better track.
 

Actually, I was assuming at this point that Raven's been hunting for you (possibly others as well... don't know who has tanks in survival.) -- I may have even been counting it against your movement rate, not sure. You still may want to stock up, in case the party gets separated, Raven gets captured or killed, et cetera...
