stonegod's Expedition to Castle Ravenloft: Ch. I [OOC]

[drothgery]

I knew there was something wrong with you.

Besides all those other things.

I don't watch anymore (having decided that they weren't getting anywhere at some point); I had to check IMDB to get the name of the character I wanted...

 

[James Heard]

*shrug*

I think it's obvious that trying to carry the analogy past a certain point is useless. If the rest of the party wants to engage in love triangles though, knock yourselves out. I think Janis is probably as androgynous and asexual as they come though. It's probably the only good thing about having your homeland blasted into a ruined wasteland - not having to bother with marrying someone for political reasons and then spend decades resisting the urge to turn them into a toad for wanting to touch you.

Just a few OOC notes that your characters know to inform the discussion:
- As mentioned, any non-magic involved round trip would take 3 wks to a month
- More importantly, there is a Sivis message stone on its way to Barovia on the caravan (see Dramatis Personae #2), so communication is possible
- The caravan will be in Barovia tomorrow late if they are lucky, the day after most likely

Any other background knowledge your PCs may have that you want to know, let me know.

I have this strange feeling that we'll get lost in some thick mist-like fog if we try to leave...

 

[stonegod]

No comments on the mist.

As for the current scene, you folks let me know when you all reach a consensus. I hope to have a decision on the new players over the weekend/Monday, so keep an eye over there and email me if you have any comments on the contents over there as it develops.

 

[stonegod]

Just as a note, my above message was not meant for you all to stop discussing.

 

[GwydapLlew]

So, now that we have established that Ashlynn has 1/2 rank in Craft (Microsoft Paint), we know exactly where we need to go.

That is the awesomest map I've ever seen.

 

[stonegod]

That is the awesomest map I've ever seen.

Real map + 50% transparent overlaid sketch program = Pixelated goodness (?)

 

[stonegod]

I've added the "map" to the Items of Interest post as the beginning of this thread for posterity.

Hrm. I'm interested in the Lightbringer stuff, but most of it can't really aid me - I'm not eligible for the rogue sub or either the 1st or 6th lvl paladin subs.

The 3rd level one though, that's just gravy. But if I give up divine health, Khensu puts himself at risk to contract this zombification disease. Hrm. It's a toughie. He'd definitely join the Lightbringers, but I don't know that I'd take any of the subs.
