[OOC] Dungeon Adv. Path: Life's Bazaar

[Ascending Crane]

OOC: Hu'ka would be doing what most folks do when they've just recently quit their job - not much of anything! He's been wandering the streets of Cauldron - seeing old friends, paying off of old debts, etc. Closing this chapter in his life, and looking forward to the next one.

So Hu'ka could be anywhere - and conceivably would go see how an aquaintance of his was dealing with the death of his parents...

Still here, just having problems posting lately. As for the first post could you get it up as early as possible? The library closes at 6 p.m. (est) on FRidays and I have a live game tommorrow.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

And the first post is up! I had to make some quick assumptions to get things running — I explained them all in the game thread. And you can find the game thread over here. I will try and get another post up this weekend at some point, but it won't be until late tomorrow night or Sunday.

The other business — I've just won three e-Bay auctions — sometime next week I should have Defenders of the Faith, Song and Silence, and Tome and Blood. I will know about Masters of the Wild tonight and Sword and Fist tomorrow. As soon as I figure out what I'll have and when I'll have it, I'll let you all know about retrofitting characters. Incidentally, this isn't common. I just happened to have a bit of extra cash and these were reasonably priced auctions on e-Bay.

Best,

Did you want us to post our actions in initiative order?

 

[Old Fezziwig]

Hi. I just got back from playing with my RL group. Ended up being a really good session — finished Of Sound Mind. And, since we rotate DMs, now I can play again and focus all my DMing attention on this game. Good deal all around.

Anyhow, good question, Dog Faced God. Just post your actions and I'll sort them. If you'd like to come up with a standard operating procedure for your PC or use conditionals, that's fine, too.

For Example —
the Kajamba Lion attacks Orc 5.
...if Orc 5 is dead before his action, then the Kajamba Lion casts cure light wounds on Dog Faced God.

You don't need to use this format, but I'm perfectly happy to deal with conditionals and feel like it might not be a bad idea in general to use them (both will make things run more quickly). Otherwise, I think a SOP would be a good way to go.

Oh — I didn't win the Masters of the Wild auction. We'll see about Sword and Fist. I'll probably pick one or the other up tomorrow depending how things go, so I'll let you all know what's up.

Best,
tKL

Next move is up. I'll make sure to add letters and numbers to the grid so you all can figure out where to move more easily (i.e. I move to J4, you sunk my battleship, and so on). As for splat books and e-Bay auctions — I did not win Masters of the Wild (which isn't an issue for this group, really), but I seem to be on the inside track to Sword and Fist. I should have the first three (DotF, TaB, SaS) Tuesday or Wednesday. As soon as I read them, I'll let you all know what's in play. Hope everyone's having a good weekend. I'll post the next move on Tuesday or as soon as everyone's posted, whichever comes first.

Best,
tKL

Thanks for the map KL, it looks great.

I just thought I'd warn everyone that I'm having computer troubles at the moment, that may take me a few days to sort out. I should be able to use my roommate's 'net connection to keep up with the game, but I'll probably only be able to post once or twice a day. I can't foresee that causing too much of a problem, however...

 

[Old Fezziwig]

I'm pretty happy with the map — it should make combats run a lot smoother, so, thanks, Jalon. As for the posting rate, that should be fine.

In other news, I did win Sword and Fist. Should have that within a week or so — once I get a chance to read it, I'll let you all know what's good to go.

Request — I've put up a Rogue's Gallery thread for the game, mostly because it would be easiest for me if all the characters were in the same place. If you could copy your PCs into this thread, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Best,
tKL

Hi, all. I've posted! Also, rec'd SaS, TaB, and DotF today — so far, interesting reading. I'll let you know when things are active for the game. Finally, if you all could take the time to quickly copy your characters over for the Rogue's Gallery thread, I'd appreciate it — it'll make my life a lot easier when I'm looking up your bonuses and stuff — link in my last post. I'm mostly asking you to do this, so that, when you level up, you can edit and adjust your own PCs.

A word on how I adjucated Diplomacy — I generally judge by how well you pass your check in this case — the more you pass it by, the better you can influence people's reactions. Of course, this holds true for missing the check as well, but that's to be expected. In this case, the target was 15 — Liandra's 15 keeps them from attacking and lowers the DC for subsequent attempts, Geebo's 13 doesn't help any, but it doesn't hurt (it's a near miss), but Hu'ka's 18 passes the DC by enough to have them bring down their swords. Hope this makes sense.

Best,
tKL

Carrach is up in the Rogue's Gallery, KL. (I edited some minor points. Nothing related to the stat-block, though.)

Concerning Sword and Fist:

Good to hear, I really liked some of the stuff presented there, esp. the Lasher and the Ghostwalker. However, I don't think I will need that "Monkey Grip" anymore, the survivor feat seems to be far more fitting. (Well, for a 1st lvl feat, so perhaps later. )
