I would note that the cultists retreated into the temple rather quickly, so you have some time perhaps before they come out...  The longer the wait, the more likely they are to prepare for combat.

And I am going to have to put this on hold until friday, though you may post if you desire, I am on my anniversary vacation.

I don't suppose we can Take 10 or Take 20 on this?

You can, just figure that the longer you take, the more likely the cultists will be prepared for combat.  Perhaps even more than ready considering their philosophy.

Anyone have any explosives ;)?

Annnd back. Apologies all around for the pause, I'm more available now.

What check is it for Traps?  Also does one have to have the Rogue ability to find complicated traps?

Does anyone have that Rogue ability?

I think its Thievery, but don't quote me on it.

Search to find traps.

Thievery to manipulate them.

You don't detect any traps.

*pokes...everyone, but in particular, Jouhan.*

Well Vorneyl has declared that he has detected no traps... and Jouhan still wields the "door opener".  ;)

Sorry, posted now but poke me with PM. I notice then there is something urgent in the game and I may forget check the game if I see only red :P. Bad habbit I know.

Did Jouhan finish off the last turret?

Yes.

Just posting to say I will be gone for a week or so, due to my sisters graduation.

I know that I was away from Rpol for the last 2 months (as I mentioned to the GM in a PM), but I was wondering if this game is still alive & running?

Ok assuming this game isn't dead, could we get a bit more tactical information about the current engagement?

How far away are each of us from the Gnolls & Acolytes (ie Ranger/distance)?  Should we all be rolling for Initiative right now?  Are only the Gnolls advancing (ie are all 4 Acolytes appearing to "charge up" to cast spells)?

That would leave only you I think.  Anyone else here?

Well according to the Cast List, it looks like both Jouhan and Regannos have been checking in recently.

Though I admit it does like maybe we have lost Sister Aria.  ;(

Yeah, I checked post and thought 'okay, not sure what's happening but I sense combat coming so I wait what is others approach before I post my move'. Then no one posted, figures :P.

I have been thinking of opening up a players wanted add again, but the question falls, what do you guys want to see in the RTJs?

Well if Aria is really gone, we could use a "techie/pilot" (someone with good piloting skills and good mechanics/repair skills).

I hope that Regannos may still be with us, otherwise we could use a dragon-born to help tie our team in with the higher up Dragon movers & shakers.

Also do we have someone with actual Magic-Use such as a Wizard or Sorcerer (was Regannos a Sorcerer)?

On that note, you can have your techie/pilot if you want me back. I really apologize for the vanishing act. Been so busy keeping my head above water in real life that I just pretty much dropped out of RPoL. But I'm feeling creative again and this is a game that I'm excited to get back into.

I'm around as well, finished up my BA degree, so more time to devote to doing....stuff!

Excellent!  It looks like the whole gang is back again.

Aria, I didn't mean to suggest we cut you loose.  I'm more than happy to have you back with us.  My remarks were based on the fact that you had been silent for a few months.  But if you're back, all the better.

Also Regannos, glad to have you back with us as well.

That said... I wouldn't object to adding 1 or 2 new Players if the GM has a mind to recruit a couple more.

Regannos, are you a dedicated magic user?  I know Jouhan is a psychic warrior type with a focus on Melee and Vorneyl is a gunslinger pistol shooter while Area is our resident pilot/techie.  I wasn't sure (aside from being the boss with the Dragon connections) what Regannos's areas of expertise were.
