oh no D: hope you don't have it

Life is being totally disruptive to my plans... again.

Expect posts tonight to you that need it. To those of you that need something from me, give me a poke in your PM threads.

Thanks :)

And then the RPOL surver for my area went down, adding another complication to my plans. I'm working on posts now.

Been out for a day for me too mate.

Out for 4 days in my area.

Right, now the airship folks have their post. Time to check on PMs and new possible PCS.

As some of you might know, a hurricane is going to be hitting Texas and  Louisianna  soonish, as someone involved in crisis response, I'm going to be kind of busy, not sure just yet how busy, since the National Guard helps to determine how many non-state resources get activated. I'll try and keep posts a going, the Paladin's got hers, Mako  you'll get yours tomorrow, and I'll hop on others as time permits and they do moving and shaking. Anyhow, this is merely to keep you all on the up and up. This is Sightless, peace out.

I'll post soon for airship :) well sometime today

Silverdale, sorry for the delay, been busy. I'm going to need you to tell me if your last roll was for a knowledge nature or a diplomacy check to find herbalists. Also if you have any questions about your other downtime threads let me know.

I need to know results of our die rolls as we didn't roll to good.....and that could be bad...

In reply to Aisent (msg # 705):


Internet ate my post, but I had it saved, so there you go.

In the future, if you don't get a post in three days, give me a poke, since I don't always check afterwards.  I won't mind the poke, even if I've said I might be busy what have you, because sometimes I need to go and check to make sure everything's posted. I know other DMs don't always feel this way, but  as for me, I don't mind.

hey, popped in now that my hand has healed a bit (got a laceration on my hand).

as said above, I recently got a laceration on my hand, but also I was laid off from my job. they said it was because my contract was canceled without a reason but im pretty sure it was covid related.

will try to answer any questions I see I needed to, even if they are old.

for CR:

What sort of rolls do I need to keep the ship going?

Sorry that you got hurt and then laid off, tough times.

I hope you make a full recovery and can get new employment.

Normally a 2nd Diplomacy check doesn't work maybe Kalven should take the wheel and Aisent should try to calm folks :)

Without spoiling some important material, I asked the dwarf to make a leadership check, which would be his level, plus his Charisma modifier, plus the d20 roll. if he had made some kind of speech or tried by some other means to reassure the crew in regards to the presence of the storm and the dragon, then diplomacy would needed to be added to this check. The leadership roll was a passive factor against the fear that the perceived presence of the dragon and the storm caused among the crew. Note, I didn't ask anyone roll a Will save: this is important to keep in mind. If Kalven added ranks in diplomacy to the previous roll - - I don't remember off the top of my head if Kalven        even has ranks in the skill - - then said points would need to be removed. The purpose of the leadership roll was to see if the crew  would continue to remain at their tasks, when encountering a perceived threat of considerable  form. Mostly, they did, one did not.

As for getting the ship back on course, you have a compass right? You have an idea what direction you want the ship to go in, right? You have maps, right? if somebody has ranks in geography, or sailing, or survival, they can help.  Also, I've been known to sometimes toss players a bone here or there if they roleplay things well, or think about it. If you provide a rationale for the use of a skill  that works for why a skill was used, then I might go with it.

If the paladin uses strength to try and return the ship's bow back to where she thinks it was previously, in combination to where  someone realizes where the proper course might be from consulting map and compass, and so on, then depending on rolls and roleplay, the ship might go back on course. If not, then you might need another day to get to where you need to go.

Dang I forgot to come back and post :(, I'll try to have posts up this evening or in morning :)

post whenever, I might borrow one of your weapons to use on somebody over here who's going to win jerkweed  award  for the year, which is  saying something.

Between that and somebody tossing flaming trash through a window... breaking said window in the process, I've been a little busy.

Mako, I'll get to you tonight or tomorrow.

My problem has been my grandma who has kept everyone up since Monday, no sleep, sorry, and she had another spell end of last week. Finally she's got some meds and sleeping hopefully this will improve things.Going to post when I get up :), after I have some sleep.

This has been more challenging than I thought it would be so far :), that's not bad, just didn't expect just finding a spot to be so hard :).

Kalven and company, it might be as late as Sunday before I get a post to you... nothing will happen until you reach land and nothing will immediately happen after you send a party out. After that is up in the air.

Mako, and everyone else, I'll try and have posts up by Sunday as well, hopefully a little before, but I'm kind of busy with volunteer activities.

R/L takes precedence, especially when you selflessly volunteer to help others.

No Problem :)

You okay Sightless?

Yes.

Allow me to explain a few issues I'm running into, so you can understand delays in posting: before I write up your posts.

1. As you no doubt know the American economy is not in the best shape due to the lockdowns. Georgia's economy is further compounded by the fact, like many states, overspending on the state level has been going on for a long, long time. Our current governor is trying to deal with some of that, before it completely destroys Georgia's economy. This means less money to volunteer organizations, and my agencies have to alter our  budgets accordingly to deal with llosses in funding from the state level. We already had some safety measures in place, as far as funding, but still, there's lots of planning that has to go on.
   
   
2. Meta gave me a copy of the map, you guys are not supposed to see, and being blind, I sent it off to a friend to describe for me earlier this week. Unfortunately, he's been busy and little description has been given. This means that I kind of have to wing things. Mako, this doesn't impact you so much, but it does impact others.

Right, let me write posts, and we get this show back on the road.

Thanks for all you do it had been a few days so wanted to check in you had said to poke you if it was several days.

It is common all over, and the worst is yet to come. The government should never have shut down the economy as it did, never before was that ever done. Things aren't good here in North Carolina either.

Thanks for helping run the game despite being blind, that's awesome :)
