OOC - Mad King's Monkey (Thread Closed)

Right, character sheet updated with new stuff. Am puzzled by the latest plot development - is it turning into a bad soap apera? Or is a cunning twist nobody (well, me at least) saw coming?

OK. A little meta-conversation while the birds welcome in the morning. Insomnia, its great for PbP, maybe not so good for judgement. Apologies for busting down the fourth wall.

This first adventure was only ever meant to be a short introduction to give you time to shakedown the characters and get a feel for working together and me an excuse to level the characters up. There was/is a bit of a dungeon crawl in the original adventure, but I figured that we would pass on that and move on. The next part was going to take the characters to the capitol city, and the Netherworld.

You were never intended to find Henri in the module. Originally he was supposed to make his appearance, :):):):) eating grin and all, when you got back to the village. Only Walter (a spur of the moment addition) threw everything for a loop. After he set off to get help, I realised that Henri had the means to be back at his house shortly after dawn. Which sparked Axel's soap opera comment, which made me laugh.

That been said, I am happy to take the adventure where ever you want it to go. I have no great story arc waiting to be revealed, just some ideas I was planning to weave together into something or another. If you would rather stay in the mountains and deal with the gnolls, or investigate who sold out Henri and how much they know, or even bust some dungeon. It's up to you.

So it looks like three favouring some more traditional Dungeon bashing.

There are a couple of ways to do this.

1. Play on from here: There is one last gnoll unaccounted for. Following up on this would lead to some dungeony/wildernessy/investigativy activities.

2. Return and reset: Return to the city and the Chancellor. From there I will work out something to keep you busy, and away from daylight.

As for equipment, you do have 400 gp of merchant services in the gnoll equipment looted. If there is other stuff you want, let me know what it is, and I'll let you know how it can happen.

If you do not favour a more dungeony style of game, let me know now.

Regardless of where we go from here, the characters will level up to second. However, deciding whats happening next before you level up might be advantageous.

Am open to anything, storywise and gamewise. How about we let it come out through the current IC chat?
