(OOC) Fitz's Folly (ToA PBP)

I'm up for any of them. We could even potentially complete more than one before returning.

I think Harb would be very interested in more info on the odd job. Do you think we could scout out that job and the one about Deiro at the same time. Then go after the one that looks like it would be easiest (for 2nd lvl characters).

I think we should stay in town and complete at least one or both of them before heading out into the jungle anyway.

Thanks for this, Earlybird. I agree, and as a player I just want us to do something.

We've lost a rhythm that we had, and I'm struggling to sometimes understand some things. E.g. in post 395 your character makes reference to "Miss M". Did you mean Miss Imogen? If so, I am finding the accent an obstacle. It might be a choice you are making, but it leaves me feeling foolish.

In any case, staying in town is fine -- presumably the mission we failed at the pier could also be followed up on, even if we don't have an obligation to investigate further.

Miss Imogen has no reason to go upriver (does she?), but of course I can make her do anything happily.
If we went to the Fort (in pursuit of the ship?) I expect the "guide" would be ready to go in 2 hours (in that it's a priority for Poe, whenever it happens), if that's what was being asked.

Whatever is decided, Imogen will be fine with it.

Do we need to eenie meenie miney mo this?

So there are currently three hooks?

- Find the lost Derio (Order of Gauntlet)
- Expedition into the jungle, picking either the Fort or Camp as the end destination - quest from??
- Not sure how to title the odd orders we got, but it is a Harper mission I believe

Of course as a player I am up for anything. So how about we agree OOC and then RP it, instead of trying it the other way around lol

My understanding is that there are 4 hooks

2 are urgent, and both are from the order of the Gauntlet:

1: Find the lost Derio (presumably in town)
2: Go to a jungle outpost (Camp Righteous) that hasn't communicated and find out what's going on (if we find what happened to the missing squire Perne that would be good too I suppose)

3: There is a somewhat vague mission from the harpers, to find Artus Cimber, for reasons unknown. I must admit that I (and therefore Rodrigo) *completely* missread that and though that Harb was meant to make an excuse and go see Wren (the scene was just a ploy to get Harb's attention)

4: From the Zentharim. Escort Rokah to fort Bellurian. This mission is not urgent.


Given that 4 is not urgent and 3 is... quite vague, it seems that 1 or 2 is best. *BUT*, whatever we decide, we have to let the Priest of Helm know so he can assign other people to the unfilled task(s).

Four hooks, I guess:

Find Derio (last seen in the Old City (Gauntlet)
Go to Camp Righteous, check on expedition sent there (Guantlet)
Go to Fort Belurian, get adventuring pass, place spy (Zhents)
Find Artus Cimber, no leads (Harpers)

Edit: Beat to it.

... maybe the best option is combining 1 *and* 3? Looking for someone while prepping to leave is hard (short timeline) but surely we can try looking for 2 people at once?

Sorry Dellrak does talk a little garbbily, part of his charm. Miss M is Miss imogen, until she calls him on it. Notice he hasn't used it around her as of yet.

My vote if we are voting is to go after 1 and 3 - I also clumped the jungle trip into 1 - with two different destinations.

So how about Harb, Dellrak, and Miss M (lol) go off looking for clues on missing persons while Rodrigo and Chrysagon go to Bol and report what we are planning then meet up with the others?

Any have a plan?

I also want to ... well apologize is not the proper word, but acknowledge that it's sort of worked out that Miss Imogen has been slightly sidelined. It wasn't on purpose but given the Zenths' unsavory reputation and the less urgent nature of her hooks... I'm sure that as party cohesion increases and the situation evolves, she will have her time to shine

I must also admit I've been disappointed in myself by missing a few nuances a few times, or sometimes getting things completely wrong. Now in a way it's "ok" that my PC makes mistake, but it's *me* who isn't reading right. I sometimes am short on time and try to post quickly so not to delay things, and I have to apologize for that. :/

I've had several times where I've started a post and then never gotten back to it.
