[OOC] Quickleaf's Rime of the Frostmaiden [closed but waitlist is available]

[happylace]

Double post:

I almost forgot. I've read, maybe, the first 8 pages of the pbp. I think you're investigating a murder or something and you had some suspects. Would anyone like to give a quick synopsis of the events?

If I'm remembering everything correctly...

We're on the path of a killer named Sephek, who we believe is traveling with Torg's Caravan and we hope to intercept in Tourmaline. We think they're following some constellation pattern, which might lend a ritual element to the killings? I might be forgetting some of the motivations here.

Along the way, we ran into the dwarven Battlehammer Clan, who asked us to help them clear the undead out from an underground temple to Dumathoin. In exchange for that, they've allowed us free passage to the Underdark, from which we hope to access Tourmaline quicker (alternative was going through a blizzard). Also, we found a cool Arcane Gem Press and they'll maybe let us use that and their forge next time we come through.

Right now, we're in the gem mines under Tourmaline, making our way to the surface.

(unrelated, we also climbed a mountain and fought some yetis)

If anybody else remembers any specifics??

Also, as a side note, Alma is now the tallest party member.

I don't think we "just ran into the dwarves" - the plan was to go through the Underdark and we knew there might be a problem. What we didn't plan on is a quest to clear the temple.

We fought yetis in order to save Gareth (and some adventurers) that went onto the mountain for some artefact(s?) and got waylaid.

The killings are done with ice daggers and there is a ritual involved, but I don't think we got anything specific about that.


Alma now can claim to have higher perspective than everyone else.

Before you know it your party is going to be Snow White Alma and the seven short stacks.

Yes all these extra details thank you

Alma is the one that can see through crowds and reach the top shelf.

Hey guys, just didn’t see that there were new posts. Sorry about my silence, I didn’t get the notification. As a rule of thumb, if I don’t answer within 2 days, I haven’t seen the notification so feel free to ping me. I’m here all the time, and just thought things were on hold for our new companion. I’ll catch up and post today.
Cheers,

Sg

It's likely something is changing with the site's code – periodically I've noticed the "non notification" issue.

While it's beyond me to keep tagging folks trying to guess when the notifications are/aren't working, what I can recommend – if you haven't already – is bookmarking the IC thread, which you can do by navigating to the first page of the IC thread and at the upper right are 3 greyed out icons: click the bookmark looking one.

I've noticed that my bookmarked threads seemed to "weather the storm" of changes to site code when it comes to notifications, at least in the past.

That reminds me @TaranTheWanderer do you have an image for Oskar Whisperstone that you'd want to use as a token (when we use maps)?

I’ll look for one today.

Someone recommended that, when I visit the site, I check on my ‘watched’ threads. Just in case notifications fail. It’s helped me keep track.

@Quickleaf Could I possibly roll a history check to see if I've heard anything about these wizards?
