Theandric Saga OOC

Nzld: No, I'm afraid there is no AC to be had from the stag.

I assumed you have started the expedition with Nzld's suggested roster, as there were no comments on it, and that you are following the stag's trail as Strahd indicated.
I'll update the first posts on this thread appropriately.

I keep thinking I'm forgetting something... nevermind

Oops, sorry, I was busy last night so I couldn't post. I did want to do one thing before we left-- ask the Redcap if we can borrow her magical direction finder for this journey.... Did she ever confirm if she would be staying at the covenant until we return? Would her wounds be severe enough to require her to stay?

Did we cast the Aegis of the Hearth before leaving?

And to confirm, Titus has Mercurian Magic, right?

Another thing, Mattihus had talked to Volkmar about working with the scribe to create a map, would there have been time to do that? Not that it will do us much good now that we've tramped off into the woods on a wild-stag chase, I guess. I would have preferred following the road and visiting the village but I suppose it's too late now.

Are you folks still looking for a new player? I've got the AM5 book, and I'd love to use it. Let me know if you are, and I'll whip something up later tonight.

Yes, we are! One of the would-be-players never played and apparently never will, so we have an opening I'm very eager to fill.
His character is Gasparius, which I'm NPCing right now. You can either
1) Create an entirely new magus, preferably from Fengheld or Durenmar, that will join the PCs. In this case Gasparius will leave shortly. However, it may take a little while IC for us to be able to integrate your magus into the game; I welcome any ideas on how to speed that up.
2) Create a magus from Fengheld that is close enough to Gasparius so you could just replace him fairly seamlessly - or just take over his character. I'm not expecting you to want to do that, but if you want to...

At any case, I recommend creating a Companion that will reach the covenant independently. If it's appropriate, he can be part of the expedition party, letting you play him immediately.

Good deal. I'd be looking at making an entirely new magus, and don't mind the IC wait until you can incorporate him into the game. And I'm happy to create a companion, too, and play that character in the meantime. Do we have a list somewhere of characters and companions that I can look at so I don't step on anyone's toes?

Her magical direction finder got lost when she run away from the stag. However, if it is any consolation, Lukas is a magical direction finder... using his Wilderness Sense ability, he has a pretty good chance of finding the direction.
She would be staying at the covenant until her wounds heal,which even with Old Magd's good care should take at least a month (for the Medium wound).
I assume you did cast an Aegis before you set out, I thought we'll skim that, but we don't need to if you want to raise it IC. (Come to think of it, I didn't update your vis stocks accordingly. I'll correct that soon.)
And yes, Titus has Mercurian Magic.

As a general note, one of the advantages of an PbP is that you can do "flashbacks" more easily - if you want to, for example, discuss and describe the Aegis of the Hearth ritual. But make sure you title your post accordingly, to avoid confusion.

There was plenty of time, enough to draw a rough map.

I guess I should have waited longer with the IC-post. I was growing itchy for some action.

Indeed we do. Look up the first few posts in this thread. One of them includes all the characters at the scene. The covenant is described in another, and includes a list of all characters, and the details of the shared characters. The details of the player's characters are described in a seperate post for each player.

Okay, cool; that's wicked helpful. When I'm finished, where should I post my character so you can check it out?

I'd prefer if you'll just email it to me. Barring that, the OOC thread is fine for that I suppose.
