Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

Fyrie followed a similar pattern. Silly people, leaving their computers on the weekend! Spending time with human beings? Gah!

I see several possibilities. We could continue on as normal, and have our valiant DM aid in a retcon of their activities to fit whatever timeline the adventure needs to be on. After a few days we have advanced a few hours, unless they aren't going to be around for a week it shouldn't be hard to synch.

Or we could just pause until they are back. Go out, get some sun. Maybe learn how to make wicker baskets.


This is all assuming my theory about being unavailable was right. For all I know they are tired of screwing around and want to kill something.

Personally I would begin right after questioning the bankers, which shouldn't take long since it isn't even noon yet. But I am far too unexperienced to start cracking the whip.

I didn't leave my computer, my character genuinely would gather information for 24 hours before risking his life.

I don't think any body would realistically expect a group of rookies to go into dive headlong into a situation without some research first. A week or two would be exessive - one day? If Master Kunstler has a problem with that he can fire me. ~grin~

 

[Wool]

My bad.

 

[Aeshen]

I mean, I havent left yet - feel free to disagree with me in character. But, like i said, my character isn't indentured - he's here for a paycheck and the security Master Kunstler gives him.

I mean, think realistically - we are all level 1. we have 0exp - the toughest thing we've ever had to kill has been the occasional insect. We're being asked to go underground and start skulking around and presumably kill stuff - it's the D&D mentality to 'get to the action' but in my opinion that ruins the immersion and credibility.

I just don't think we would realistically climb down a ladder into lord knows what after having prepared for 6 hours; but, if your character can justify it to my character by all means...

 

[Wool]

This is actually the first time I've ever done anything like this before, so I wouldn't know what to expect. Except to fire magic missiles at the darkness.

Sorry, I was the person who wandered off for the day. Well, I wandered into WoW with the husband to be honest, the novelty of having an internet connection not courtesy of the inability of MikeJeff (whoever they are) to secure their wireless.

I'm ok with taking a day for some research, but I don't think I have much to add on the book side, so I'll chase after Marian and Thurst. Mata has lots of theoretical knowledge of how not to be an idiot in a dungeon, learned at grandpa's knee, but she's really not a booky wizard.

 

[Wool]

Don't worry guys, I'll cool it before he gets mad and sends us out on the street with no information.


Probably.


Maybe.



Any of you got any rope?

 

[Vdou]

Mollycoddled peacocks? LOL!

 

[Aeshen]

Hey there,

My character wouldn't have stayed at that particular inn if he wasn't getting information, and he certainly wouldnt have allowed himself to become massively distracted. If it didnt look like it was going to pan out he'd leave and pursue other leads. I don't care if none of them turn up anything - that's just what I'd be doing.

I just tossed that off because I was at work. The library guys haven't progressed forward yet, either. He's been at that tavern for about half an hour at this point. I'll move you forward when I get home and have the big book.

When the group splits up, I don't want to have one group advance forward in time rapidly, so everything's moving at about the same pace at the moment. So that means the library folks are digging into more books while Aeshen is at his first bar.

Don't worry, more is coming.
