Storms of Change OOC Parts 1 and 2

[Argent Silvermage]

I'm sorry for any delays people. My dog has cancer and I'm spending as much time as I can with him. just put Etherial on autopilot for the next few days. My dog has surgury tomorrow so I'll be better one way or another by Friday.

 

[Thels]

Sorry, had a busy few days. Yeah, I know my weight might turn into a problem at times, but that's no reason not to take it.

 

[silentspace]

Thels: True, true. I just wanted to give you the option

 

[Seonaid]

Hope all is well with you, Argent.

 

[silentspace]

I'm generally not going to respond to people's personal difficulties, but please know that I am very much concerned, and wish you all the best. And as far as I'm concerned, there's never any need to apologize for real life. This is just a game, after all

 

[GPEKO]

I’ve been pretty successful hunting goblinoids. You could say I specialize in them.

Darien has no shield and looks like he fights with his longsword and shortsword.

It occurs to you that Darien must be very good at spotting things.

Ok, ok, ok we get it : he's a ranger. Just kidding ya

 

[silentspace]

Hehe. Did I mention he enjoys hunting, fishing, and long walks in the woods?

Edit: Seriously, you suspect he might be really good at spotting, wink wink. Helps make him such a good caravan guard.

I'm beginning to suspect there is a DMs Pet NPC around here somewhere.

Not really. As I said in the beginning, this campaign has a focus on politics and intrigue, and so there is a large group of NPCs to be encountered. A lowly caravan guard, no matter how skilled, would not be a major player in the kingdom-wide intrigues. That's not to say that you may not meet him again, however.

Also, almost every important NPC has some information that could be useful to you. The trick is figuring out what that information is, and how to get it out of them. They all have their own motivations, and plans. As a party with a neutral bent, your actions (not just your skills) will play a big part in how they behave towards you. You could easily gain uesful allies or hated enemies along the way.

I just posted rounds 3 and 4. Should I continue to run everyone on autopilot another round? Everyone is still too far to act anyway.

What do you think?

Dunathar and Etherial seem to be sitting this battle out. Even if they start to give chase now (which might make the guards even less happier with them than they are now), they might not reach the action before its over.
