Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, OOC01

Isn't it Capizzio who's left?

Edit: I wouldn't mind controlling another PC (if the others player's don't mind), and I'm indifferent about having an NPC help, but I just don't want to add more work for the DM.

I agree that recruitment might be the lowest on my desired response list.

Capizzio is one, but I would swear that we've been missing two latley.

 

[Scotley]

Can't speak for the others, but Tylara is still here. I'm up for whatever you'd like to do--co-horts, npc's second characters, new players or just taking our chances...

That's One Vote...

Okay, good! This was kind of an experiment from the beginning, wasn't it? Seems like it'd be kind of a shame to give up on it halfway through. But, if there are other opinions, I'd still like to hear them. What we could do is go ahead and try it with just wizards, and if you all die, we can write that off as a failed experiment, and if you still will even play with me at all, then we can roll-up a new party/use the same characters again, but with some muscle along for the ride next time.

 

[renau1g]

That sounds fun, and the most expedient method. Count me in!

 

[Leif]

This all got kinda confused/lost in translation, but the gist of what I got was that we're mostly all on board to take a stab at just having the wizards go it alone, and if that comes to a bad end, then we'll take stock and see where we are and where we want to go then. So let's kill some hobgoblins! I might not be able to do too much in that vein until the weekend, though.

 

[KerlanRayne]

I wouldn't mind controlling another character either. How many would we need? Would we be using the same books for them or expanded a little bit? We could also have you or someone else here take control of Max. rossrebailey hasn't been on in almost three weeks.

EDIT: Never mind. We are going to give it a shot first.

I'm good to go as far as taking on the hobgoblins. Since I really like Manny, my vote would be if we all die we use the same characters but beef up their levels a little.

About the .pdf's, I'm not sure I understand the difficulty. The file should just open up for you, and the format of the sheet's just a modified version of all the other stock sheets out there. Descriptions on the second page at the bottom - he's 15" tall and weighs in at a hefty 10 lbs. It'd be a little like carrying a gallon of milk, so would indeed end up being a lot of work for a long walk.

Mike the Raven couldn't carry him - the mount's got to be at least one size category larger than the rider, and can carry only a light load while flying. I think ravens are tiny (the same as Manny) and even a Bull's Strength would get his STR up only to 5 (light load of 8 pounds).

Thel could carry him, if both she and Tylara were willing and we had a saddle.

I actually have plans for an oversize owl familiar in the (hopefully) near future that should do the trick. Doesn't help much right now, though . . .

Finally, thanks for the exp., oh great and benevolent DM!

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

I'll be at the lake and out of touch from this afternoon through sometime Monday. Y'all have a great weekend!

Mowgliness

Have a safe trip, safe boating or whatever, and lots of fun! Oh, hey, I've been forgetting to tell you about this: when we were all up there for the gaming retreat and we cleaned up after ourselves somewhat, I took one of those plastic wall-outlet safety stopper thingies out so that I could plug in the vaccuum sweeper. I put the thing in my pocket for convenience. And, llike a dummy, I forgot to put it back. I think it's still on my dresser.

You know, seems to me now that I've told you all of this before. I have the most peculiar feeling of deja vu. I guess it's because you're always so danged nice that I feel the irrepressible urge to confess all of my failings to you. Usually over and over and over again. Hope you don't mind too much.
