OOC: NP. For fluff it's close enough, and I'm enjoying the character development
.
You see no way by land to get out to the ship. Swimming in the surf here (as in most places on the Shiv) is a DC20 Swim check each round.
As you look out over the surf and work on hashing out the pecking order, the line of clouds are moving inexorably closer. Though you've been on the island only a short time - Abraxis and Lerissa only a couple of days and Taron somewhat longer - you've come to the conclusion that a torrential downpour can be expected for a few hours almost every afternoon (usually from around a half hour after noon to mid-afternoon). And it's getting on toward that time of day.
[sblock=Housekeeping]I've been doing a little OP housekeeping this morning.
I've updated the map on the OP Wiki to mark your current base camp, current location and the points of interest you've encountered thus far - I'll try to remember to keep it updated as you go . . . Along with this, I've added a page to the wiki that lists the encounters that are marked, and put a link to that page in the sidebar on the main wiki page.
IronWolf, I've also added a link to that sidebar for Taron's character sheet, and made a page on the wiki for you to use however you wish (my intention was to make a place for you to keep your own notes as the game progresses - various plot lines and thoughts are hard enough to keep up with in a game of this length when you're playing FtF. In PbP I've found it becomes almost impossible).
Next, in case it's not become obvious to you guys I've been writing the Adventure Log from Aerys' POV. You all should feel free to put in your own Adventure Log entries as well, and at any time you want. I only ask that you make them as an in character narrative so that they'll add something to the groups understanding of your character or to the story. For general notekeeping you should each use the wiki pages I've set up and linked to the sidebar.
Finally, when you edit your character sheets there should be a place near the bottom to add "character secrets." I'm not really sure how this will work from your end, as I've never been a
player in a campaign hosted on OP where this was available. When
I edit your sheets I can put in GM Notes that only I will be able to see. I can also add "Player Secrets" that will be visible by me as the GM, but also by the owner of the character and anyone else who is a member of the campaign with whom I chose to share that secret. What I'm not sure about is if you guys can add these secrets to your own characters as well, or if I have to be the one to add them - and if I add one to your character, can you then edit it? Feel free to play around with this if you have the time and inclination and let me know what you find out.[/sblock]
