Very little. I mean, you grew up in a library so you'd probably know anything that's in a book but not much of everyday life, regional knowledge, that kind of thing.

Gorion always was a bit of a mystery too, not telling you anything of himself really.

Which means we have no idea why someone is trying to kill us. Thanks Gorion, ye old bastard! ;-)

Enigma is a mage I think from Crawler. I’m a basic book magic-user. Enigma is welcome to the wand though if she can use it.

That said, is there an Identify spell? I don’t see it in the magic-user spell list.

I don't know about this edition.

In reply to Malus Aerden (msg # 161):

There isn't an available spell. There's testing, using a guinea pig or paying a high level NPC: https://oldschoolessentials.ne...Magic_Items_(General)

There's at least three of us who could use the wand, just a question of who wants to give it a try.

Well, hmm...!  Enigma's got a Wisdom of 13, so she might have too high of a survival instinct to go playing with anything not properly identified...   😹

While she's indeed the Mage from Carcass Crawler, and basically a Thief with select spells instead of Thieves' Skills and hasn't got the "oomph" of a Magic-User or even an Illusionist, if the wand will benefit one of them over her, then so be it.  Enigma is plenty happy being a walking, intermittently-functioning magic item for now!

Did we find Benedict dead when we went to his room?

Not sure that we've got there yet?

Right, if I haven't described it to you it can't have happened. I'm honestly still waiting for word from Benedicts player but since he seem to have disappeared he will probably not come with you. Don't think I will kill him off but whatever happens I will let you know explicitly.

Okay, he definitely appears to have ghosted us!

Not ghosted exactly, he's communicated some with me and there are reasons. Still, won't let the game hold up so I'll move us forward soon.

Well that is good, I'm glad he didn't ghost. I did say 'appears'! ;-) I hope real life cleans up for him soon, it can really suck some times! If he's who I think he is, I played with him before, good guy. Hope all is well soon!

I posted the timekeeping table in the IC thred before. To me it's a super helpful structure for the procedural side of things but I'll bring it back behind the GM screen next time. Main reason to keep it upfront was so you could make concious choices regarding how long your actions take and so on and to show you I'm not just making shit up. But I can just as well ask you "it's gonna take 3 turns, is that all right?"

Any comments on that?

It's fine by me, but I tend not to worry so much about the framework as the story others may not feel the same way.

I'm fine whatever.

I'm fine with just making shit up, but this will do.

I’m fine with whatever as well.

Whatever way is easier for you to run is good with me

If this new board is like the old board, I think you removed Benedict from the game when you moved his character to NPC. As DM, you can NPC characters by just posting using their PC. You can NPC any character you wish that way. But when you made him NPC, I think you accidently took him out. He'll have to go rtj again to add him back. Not a big deal, but you'll have to tell him maybe.

No, I haven't removed him as player, just changed the tag.

Excellent, they must have changed it there. I haven't tried to DM a game with the new board.

Be with you kids within the day, just keeping you posted that I'm here and... well, I ain't hungry, we ate at the inn!

Just dropping a note that I’m out of town until next Monday. I have little access until then for posting.

Be safe and take care Niall.

How much will it cost us to get back in some day?
