Now that's what I was waiting for.  I put in a 'climbed on board post but there is nothing mentioned that would make my character react with NPC's

yeah>  I 'll have to push a bit more., between the shift in  systems,a dn  the slow posting rate? I'm gettign worried!

Don’t, people are just watching to see how things pan out.  Get their sea legs so to speak.   Don’t change how you play, it’s fine.  They need that for their compass.  Throw us some action, simple  hard and fast to wake us up, then start pushing those twisty little plot lines of yours and you will reset the hook.

well?  You know from my other games,   things    don't 'just happen'..  but there  can be action soon, I just need    folks to start  moving.

  Those familiar with  my system, know   that its  about  building your charatcers  and  being apart of the   story...nothing to do with Numbers  ouyt side of  your  bonuses  and such.

I don’t think it is likely that my character will know this but dwarves would be perfect for making a tunnel under the river at the merchants landing and designing it to flood and release some “pet serpents into it if bad people are coming through.  The excavated materials could help build the city

 that is  how the ..Underpassage… is   at Ironmound..  it  goes deep  under the city and  the Strom River..if  things  shoudl go vcery badly, they  can 'open' selected   areas   to allow the Storm river  to  flood the  Tunnels  for a few   miles.. The tunnels were made   by the High Peak Dwarves  when  Bowshot was  first made, as a   starting point  for  Ironmound.


 Thousnads  for people  who  flocked to the  new   alliance  helped build the    city... Wall first... buildigns  followed... the result is  some 500 years of building.

 rumors have it, that the  high Peak Dwarves also   built  side  tunnels to the Black Timber, are the  short lived war, so they could come to the aid of thier allies...

 The Dwarves  who live in 'The Mound" of Iron mound, are descendants of High Peak   Dwarves.. but most of them who are alive today, never  set foot in the High peaks.

 there are also  struggles  underground  as Drow, DArg Gnomes...gnomes, and  other such creatures  libe and dravel down thier, battles  are fought, often,in ginat Grottos  or caverns..and skirmishes   pop up in the 'trade tunnel'  as  underground bandits  try to ambush  caravans.

.Happy Halloween...Samhain..all souls  Eve!

Happy Halloween

In reply to Luthien (msg # 854):

Happy Halloween.

Just   to  see who is still around?.. I want to move the game a bit faster..but..sorta needs  some posts!

Still around.

  I should start having time again this weekend,

Ok? I have   fixed the Spell casting  rules...it is  more or less by our new  system.

Until I   sort through spells form a few  differant   systems.. Please  use  what spells you  might have on hand..( 1e 2E 3e )

 send me a PM  for  the name  and  system of that spell.. and I will add it to the spells I wil put in the    Game spell List...

………………………..

Now... the idea  behind this, is to allow spells caster to cast 'more  spells"  with out being over powered..I sorta got taken advantage     with the last set..

 what I want from you  guys..is the spells/levels  that go with them.. ONE THE LIST IS COMPLETE... I will allow   Mages  and clerics    the chance to  research and create  new spells.. thus..bringing  'real' creation into the game.

 I know..this might not  go over  very well with everyone, but it  fits what I had  thought the game would be  like..hopefully   this   helps  settle things  and we can get more RP into the game as well.

two things...

1... I had the formula  for m DAmage Points to the Character  Build  CS...please  add that to your own sheets.

2.. we have a new  player  coming in, those who have played in my space game, don't be afraid to help him with HC questions and such!

Please welcome  Mikio..he and Orlin might find some common ground.

"Yes, yes.  Well met.  Well, met I'm sure.  You know I don't usually do this sort of thing out here in the OOC, but that Donsr geeza never pointed me to the tavern, so I'm having to improvise."  He waves it away with his hand.  "Yeah I'm sure it was an oversight as well, we had a few." Mikio makes like he's having a drink with his hand, opening his mouth wide like he's drinking a lot.  "He had the good stuff out, with me being a newbie and all, so I just kept going, like you do, since I didn't really know what it was going to be like on this side."

Silence for a moment and he looks up to Orlin.  "By the Fates you're a big bugger.  I heard it said we're meant to find some common ground.  Good to know!  You must like to drink as well.  Of course, you do, look at the size of the tank on ya."  he says tapping his own flat belly with his right hand.  His eyes dart around nervously under his messy mop of hair.  "Meeting new people is weird, even weirder without a drink, we should find a slosh pit quick before I say something I'm gonna regret."

  I hear references to you being a Giant kin yet there are no details about your size or how you are built in your description.  I daresay size seems to be where our likeness ends so don't worry if orlin is a little cautious at first.

   Will we have cantrips here, ore are spells always a roll?

as per usual   PM  me the spell or action, i'll do the rolls... the RP  ( that everyone sees)  must  have  the action accounted for

Seems like a misunderstanding has occurred between me and our DM.  The reference to him being a giant is incorrect.  Yes, Mikio is a giant but no one IC would know that unless they had a gem of true seeing or Mikio gets caught in an anti-magic spell.  He has arrived to the game in elf form and everyone he has met here he has done so in elf form.  He would only be known as Mikio the wood elf, no one would know him by his giant name, or have seen his giant form, so the description that shows is very true to what everyone would see.

Orlin has every right to be cautious, or even suspicious, as I would think we all would be in such a world, especially if we were meeting new 'friends' and the group is known to have been infiltrated by traitors, but he would not have any reason to be cautious in regards to him being a giant, he just wouldn't know.

The only person who might know he was not a wood elf would be the dude who sent him to join this 'mission'.  The assumption being he has been known for years and Mikio has probably got rip-roaring drunk with him at some stage and they are trusted allies, friends even.

No spells have been cast by my character, and no IC character should know he is a giant as opposed to a wood elf.

yep..  that was  my  misunderstanding.. and   my I normally do   not  alow forms   of shifters...and the  like...we'll see how this goes.

Sorry, that wasn't apparent by the 'players' already listed in the cast.  With Orlin's character write up mentioning Firbolg giants, I didn't think it was a stretch to assume he was a Firbolg who have the innate ability to alter self.  There is also a centaur as a 'player' so I didn't think I wanted to enter the game on the back foot with just a plain character race chosen.

It was kind of go big or go home.  I did consider a dragon for a moment, but that would have been overkill, although kind of funny from my perspective.  Don't worry I'm not the type of player to abuse powers, but I'm not here to have the character be a pushover either.

yeah.. the dragon wouldn't have made it past the RTJ.

It would have been a little dragon...... :o)

Dragonette?

Faerie Dragon!

A polymorphed giant?

Sky's the limit, it seems :P
