I don't care about the Source of Light. I worship the Source of Shade.

Shade, Light... The Wandering God treads all the paths... So says Regdoc the Seeker.

Just let me run to the store and buy a case of cider, so I can get in character.

I'm here

Ready...I guess.  I am half-tempted to become a pixie though.

OK. I've got my cider. I don't have a Zork playlist, though.

ROFL it actually exists? I've never seen a Zork game with graphics, much less a soundtrack.

That’s just an homage by a geek-rapper. I barely remember something about a virtual version of Zork, but that isn’t it.

In reply to DM (msg # 21):

I'll have to check it out, next time I'm on a broadband connection. Right now, I'm up in the mountains.

Posting here, as I don't see other OOC thread.

Just noticed my posts go under my account name, not by my character (= Sasar) name. DM can fix this, I hope?

Hey gang, my wife and kids were out of town school shopping. Got a call that the van broke down, so I'm headed out on a rescue mission. We'll probably finish the shopping tomorrow, so don't wait around for Regdoc in your planning. He'll just be over at the table with Chomper...

I seem to have gotten passed over, so I guess we have to assume that Creston behaved himself well enough.

In reply to Creston Fairwood (msg # 25):

You can throw your two coppers in and we’ll assume it’s in sequence.

1. When a player can't respond in time, the PC is assumed to follow the general orders that your party leader (currently Brother Brodd) gives during his turn, unless they PM me otherwise in advance. Any followers you pick up along the way will also defer to the party leader.

Sure thing, I will tend toward common sense and not send anyone off to their doom  (even the thief heheh)

2. I need the party leader to illustrate what the party formations will be for single file, double file, and open field. The pixie of course is a special case, assume he can fly anywhere in the formation or maybe ride on the dog if they become friends. I assume the dog will stay near Regdoc and will follow his master's orders instead of Brodd.

Alrighty here is a rough draft

Single file
Amalrik the Barbarian
Regdoc and Hound at his side
Eron Windblade the pixie buzzing around
Brother Brodd the Ill-Equipped
Sasar the Wizard
Creston the Elf
Iffy the Thief

Double File

Amalrik and Creston
Regdoc and Hound
Brodd and Sasar
Iffy and Eron

Open Field
I assume we'll have a scout who ranges a bit ahead, otherwise same as double file but more spaced out on average depending on terrain: close packed in forest and on hiking trails, wide gaps in meadows and on beaches

3. I need the party leader to determine sleeping shifts. Ideally two to a shift, leaving time for spellcasters to study and pray for spells uninterrupted. I also assume the dog will provide an extra layer of warning.

As far as I know only Creston and Sasar cast spells at level one.  I assume only Eron has night vision/infravision, so middle watch for him.  That leaves as a suggestion:

First Watch   Redgoc and Hound
Second Watch  Eron and Amalrick
Third Watch   Brodd and Iffy

Pixies cast spells at level one too...they're elves with changes, I believe.

No problem with this from me.

Doh, I knew that .. thanks!

Watches 2.0

First Watch   Redgoc and Hound
Second Watch  Amalrick, aka, He Who Counts as Two
Third Watch   Brodd and Iffy

In reply to Brother Brodd (msg # 27):

Sasar has a mule carrying most of his stuff (including 10' pole). We can assume he is always leading the mule and it follows behind him unless stated otherwise.

Well done Bobby!

And everyone might well look upon Chomper IV as a sort of caretaker for Regdoc... ;-) Regdoc is, by all rights, a hopeless character, but back in my day, my first DM didn't allow such nonsense and we played with what we rolled. So we'll see which comes into the game first, Chomper V or Regdoc II...

Well, just don't go wasting all your healing spells on yourself ;-D

Assuming he doesn't have -1 spells at level 1, due to low WIS.
