Hi folks! New player for Alak here. I think I'm in another game with Yalandlara Vallindel (me Mo, them Tsuki) due to the Amazon driver comment.

I'll need to get up to speed a bit here. I'm on holiday but I do have some work to get finished.

I've played this AP before, in a game that sorta died then moved out of a time that would work for me. I had a druid. IIRC we had cleared the lower level, gone into town in the tunnel then done something there, can't quite remember.

Alak was an NPC we met, with a sister, there was a business with dolls, paintings and kobolds.

Did you entirely clear the under-level? With the doors and the apes and tents and things?

aw man, now Alak is a PC. That means when he inevitably betrays us and we have to kill him, we are going to feel guilty.

... ... ... welcome to the party?

Welcome, glad we didn't kill you! As far as I know, we cleaned it out save one secret door the GM subtly waved us from. I'd like to go back once we rest. That might be something for Alak to suggest for the sake of closure to his quest thingee.

@Dreki - Yarr?

Yup, I've actually been Dreki since I changed hats. The name didn't change on screen but I haven't been referring to him as Yarr or responding to anyone who used his name.

Haha, ok, things make more sense now...

I once played a dwarf in a BX game for several years. At one point he got a Helm of Alignment Change and nobody ever noticed even though his personality completely changed. PbP is tricky like that.

Hey everyone, sorry for disappearing on you all, but thanks to the generosity of our DM, I am back. Just got back from a 10-day vacation, so I need to catch up and get my character leveled, but I look forward to jumping back in!

Just as an FYI i'm going to be very hit-or-miss until probably mid-Feb. Work is kicking my ass and I just don't have a lot of energy to even sign on regularly. I'm trying but the results so far have been very lacking XD

It will end though, it does have a very finite end to the work. I don't know exactly when that will be but with a good push should be early-to-mid Feb.

Reality (sadly) comes first. Don't kill yourself to post something for us if you are too tired. We'll all be around when life settles out.

I was kinda kinda in the same boat as Dungeon Master here. As many of you know I had a very busy December at Amazon, and the fluid/pressure/brain ordeal before that. Well after all that I decided to get sick shortly after Christmas. Needless to say I'm still trying to recover and catch up from it all.

Anyway, I'm back now! Hopefully for good this time!

And it looks like I returned just in time to aid Za perfectly on the die alone. :)

Good timing Yalandlara!

Dreki had made a roll that I thought would be good enough, but then didn't say a thing so maybe it didn't count.  Anyway, thanks for the help.

GM said DC 18. Dreki got a 16. ;)

I hope things ease off before long.

Just a note to say I too am a bit tied up for the next ten days or so. Considering I still need to finish the character sheet off, I'll not be posting much I expect.

So you're really no longer an NPC?  (The profile still says that you are.)

Sorry about the whole Charm, then.  :-)

[Prods self]

Don't think so.

Zag, don't talk to the NPC's the System gets feisty when you talk to them like they are people.

Okay team, need some help as to how and where to jump back in. I still haven't made it through the entire thread yet, did Sularius just disappear or was he written out?

He sorta just faded into the background. Maerk assumed he was having "stomach problems". Nah, things are slow enough, just jump back in as if Sul'Al' was there all along...

Sul, you can jump in at any time as though you were tagging along and didn't have anything to say.
Dreki will make some comment about having forgotten that you were there though.

Alseta's Ring was first mentioned in this thread starting at #124 although there may be other comments about it farther on.

So, what's the plan? Anyone wanting to explore these "key words" further or just move on to hiking through the woods to get there?

That post -- link to a message in this game -- was the only mention of it.

(How to make a link to a specific post:  First click the [all] link at the bottom of the thread, then add # and the post number at the end of that URL.)

Have we finished scouring this book store for anything of value?  It seems that something protected by a nearly-lethal trap must have something fun.

Afterwards, I'm all for heading off to the outpost.

There is still the bedroom that is unexplored...

Let me know when people are ready to head out for Guardian's Way.
