Let me know if there is anything you want to do this very day before I advance things to the next morning. Given that you gals adventured pretty much through the entire night I'd imagine that R&R is the first thing on the agenda but if there is something that bloody and exhausted you wants to pursue let me know.

Rocks fall and everyone dies  (¬_¬)

Well then please drop me from the game. It's been fun :)

Nooooooooooo!!!!!  Can I come back as a ghost and haunt Saxton?

Of course. Also april fools :D I know I know, it wasn't big or elaborate but I had to put forward a token of effort.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 35):

I appreciate the effort.   :)

I think the best AF prank I saw here on RPOL was a post where the DM, quite convincingly, laid out his plans for transitioning his game BACK from 3.5 to 2nd edition. He seemed so serious that I actually pulled out my old AD&D books to refresh my memory on how THAC0 worked.   :o

Hello? Anyone still here?

Sorry, sorry. I am here. Just distracted.

I'll put some time in here as soon as I can.

But not today. I got a pile of essays to grade this afternoon and I expect it to be quite painful. Ugh, Freshmen English is my bane!

I’m still here as well. Nothing from me this weekend though, preparing for a big spiritual celebration, etc.

Is anyone waiting on something?

No, just been super busy. Haha. I'll try to get something up as soon as I can, but Wednesdays are not good for me.

Tomorrow, probably.

Hey crazy busy here. But I'm carving out time :)

Alright it feels like the next step is to meet these mercenaries? Or do you want to coordinate with the townsfolk?

OR if you want we can jump straight ahead and handle the fortifications and hiring process "off screen"

sorry I haven't been very active. I've been reading, but I just don't see many places to inject myself. I think a lot of the macro-level stuff isn't really Yry's cup of tea so she is fairly happy to be the mysterious ice sorcerer that doesn't involve herself very much in the 'kingdom' aspect.

Honestly, the negotiations might be fun. Plus it is a bit more grounded and concrete. Then, we might be able to handle the two simultaneously.

In reply to Talia Alden (msg # 45):

Sounds good

I've summarized what is in front of you from an army perspective and what is (or will be) known about Saxton's army so you can plan (and spend) accordingly.

Still here. Don't know what to add... yet :)
But keep going. I'll find my way.

It is starting to feel that the game has run its course. I'm not going to lie, my schedule is crazy busy right now and half the players seem to have checked out.

So cards on the table, how are you all feeling about keeping this going?

Honestly. Ambivalent. I'd probably enjoy the game as it has been laid out for the future. I'd miss Talia if I didn't get to finish her story. But, I can't drum up a lot of pique about it. I, too, have sort of seen this quiet death coming.

Yes. I'm fine with closing this book. Sorta bummed that Arthua died before his backstory could be unraveled. But those things do happen :)

AND I would like to say THANK YOU. This was my first 5e game. So everything was new here :)

This was my first 5E game as well and it was a pleasure to run for the both of you. It might not have had a concise ending but hey, you got to kill a dragon and cross dimensions, slay a knight and claim a castle so I hope it gave you a little bit of everything :)


I'll keep this up for a week so grab anything that you want as a keepsake and then I'll be shutting it down.

I've learned a lot from this game and others games beyond this one.
But I'll fondly remember that this was my starting point :)

For me, it was in my first handful of 5e games for sure. Right around when I was getting back into D&D from a long hiatus.

Also, it was a rare character adoption. haha. Grew to love the ancetral guardian path for barbarians. Running it in my IRL campaign now. Tons of fun.

But, I rarely, if ever, replay characters even if their story is incomplete. Once played, they live in the context of the game, so I tend to just keep memories.

Cheers! It's been a blast and I hope to see y'all around.

It was fun with playing with all of you. It's a shame the pbp format didn't work out very well for me, but the game was fun. Hoping all the best for you all!
