Uhm, remember the Cloak of Elvenkind you got for free. You might not need Silent Armor.

i do, but i didn't think a cloak would stop the noise from my armor. But i do not know if the boni stack.

Distances in the Underdark

At your best guess, you would think that it is possible to get to Mantol Derith if you walk for eight hours.

However, moving silently requires movement at half-speed, so that would take sixteen hours.

Alternatively, if you didn't care about noise, you could jog and probably be there in about four hours (but this would be very dangerous and you risk running right into a trap or an ambush).

The times above don't include resting, wrong turns, monsters, etc.

In another hour or so, you are going to begin getting tired, so you'll either need to stop somewhere and rest, or start taking subdual damage from forced marching. Since you are all drow, resting only takes four hours.

Posting Frequency.

Just a quick heads-up. I'll be out of town (and, hence, offline) from 5pm PST today (6/26) through ~6pm PST Sunday (6/29).

I'll try to get caught up and post Sunday evening, but Monday morning is just as likely.

I'll also be offline Wed July-9 through Sun July-13.

Aside from those days, I'll be checking the boards at least once per weekday and at least once per weekend.

Posting Frequency

From a GM perspective:

My posting plan is to do a maximum of one major plot post per day. I might also do some additional explanatory posts or sub-plot posts. Right now, I'm checking the message boards multiple times per day, but I intend to slow down to once a day in the months of July and August. I will occassionally skip a day, but my current plan is check the message boards every day.

We have not had any combats yet. When the party does enter a combat, I'll make a post(i.e. The Big Bad B______ says,"I shall have you all for breakfast", I'll describe the many spell-like abilities he uses after his aggressive comment, the outcome of any held actions the party members have that went off before the Big Bad B's spell-like rays, and then its the party member's round). Then 24 hours later, I'll check the posts that the party members have made, resolve their actions for the round, and describe how the Big Bad B wasn't quite as big or as bad as you thought it was (or, maybe I'll announce its time to generate new characters ).

If its a combat, and someone doesn't post in the 24 hour period, I'll either have their character delay their action until the player does post, or I'll have the character do whatever I think the player wanted their character to do.

If a one on one combat situation comes up between a PC and a monster, then obviously I won't use the 24 hour period. I'll just wait until the player makes a post, before describing how the monster responds. Kind of like how I handled the captures of the Goblins.

sorry for the slow posting, my weekend is trouble.

 

[Thels]

I was kinda hoping for someone else to post 1st, as my character would probably wait for a more important housemember to make a decision, but oh well. Maybe it's just the weekend and things will roll again on mondays...

Animal Companions

The players of Dariel and Marckarius should start thinking about what kind of animal companion they want (if any) for their ranger levels. A wide range of animals are for sale in Mantol Derith.

Suggested Drow Animal Companions are listed here:

I was actually thinking of a riding lizard, either as companion or merely an asset. I don't have Mounted Combat, but I'm getting a feat here in a level or so....

But there's a dichotomy between Mr Reynolds' description and the one in my FRCS. The former seems to be a big gator or skink, while the FRCS riding lizard is described as something like Velociraptor or Deinonychus. From the Drizzt books I had an image of something like Reynolds' description, but I like the image of a semi-upright bipedal reptile better.

So what's the description you're using? I'll abide by your description over the other two.
