you're fine.  that's too much verisimilitude for my tastes.

Beata could jab it in your chest like an epi-pen, and would still heal you

In that case I insist that she does so ;)

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll post IC later today.

In the meantime, a safe and happy holiday season to all.

Ha, feel free to imagine Beata smashing it on Aien's chest!

Merry Christmas everyone!

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, etc!

I'm going to combine these two things and envision the potion being rubbed into Aien's flesh as seasoning like oil being massaged into a turkey.

Since "'tis the season", you're all welcome to a slice of roasted elf, once the goblins have cooked me...

Hope everyone had a good holiday. Was a bit interesting here. No power from Christmas Eve to about three o’clock Christmas Day that and like eight inches of snow.

clearly the best way to administer a healing potion, right?

a lovely christmas dinner

No post today due to the holiday slow-down.  We'll see how things look next week.

Well, Ila took a look around the entrance room. Any results?

Sorry, didn't see it until you mentioned it.

Description of the mosaic (and the hint for the axe trap) are now up for further clarification.

Hey guys. Sorry it's been so long since I chimed in. Holidays and family stuff have been busier than expected, but in a good way.

Largely recovered from my end-of-year burnout and back to a more normal schedule, so I should be around to post more often here on in.

For some context in the other thread: Seth is moderate intelligence, high charsima, but his only social proficiency is intimidation. He's also of the opinion that the goblins are vermin that need to be exterminated. Seth isn't evil in the sense that he's not about to indiscriminately slaughter goblin women and children that are trying to talk to us first. But he's going to go into that social encounter itching for an excuse to get his Anakin on and slaughter some Goblin younglings.

If the party's cool with all that, I'm happy to step up as party speaker.

If the party would prefer someone with something vaguely resembling a diplomatic mindset, jump in and take the role, I won't mind. :)

The pause in posting is nbd to me! I believe you did mention you'd be away for a bit, too, unless I'm misremembering.

As for the RP sitch, Beata is definitely not the most charismatic, nor does she particularly care about how the convo goes so long as we can get on with the quest! So she has no objections, though she probably won't join in on the youngling slaughter haha

Well, Ila has a solid Cha, Sorcerer yeah? and I am tired of talking about it. Pushing forward!

In reply to Seth (msg # 115):

Yeah, Aien is likely to stand idly by and let the pieces fall as they may. Despite his new-found "good" outlook and a dislike for the wanton slaughter of non-combatants, the Hellriders still have a job to do, and fewer goblins to breed in the wildlands only helps that job. So I don't see him offering an opinion either way :)

All's good..

I wanted party consent before diving things into a potentilly dark direction, but happy to let Ila take the reins instead.

And again: Seth being a jerk is just IC for funzies. If you want me to rein it in, let me know. I'm the boss of Seth, not the other way around, so he'll do whatever I tell him to do. :)

Morning all. Just wanted to let everyone know I may lag a little posting. Started feeling pretty crappy Wednesday. Tested  positive for COVID.

I'm really sorry to hear that! I hope it doesn't hit you too hard!

Sorry to read that.  Hope you overcome it, quickly and with little, or, better yet, no lasting damage

In reply to Nicodemus Thrask (msg # 120):

Hey mate, so sorry to hear that. Rest up, isolate as much as you can, and drink lots of fluids. Hope you come out okay in the end.

In reply to Nicodemus Thrask (msg # 120):

Damn, sorry to hear it. Not the greatest way to start the new year. Take care and I hope you feel better soon. All best wishes.

Great comments on the negotiations from everyone, but I am waiting for the GM's response be fore I do anything.

Sorry folks, Sunday (and now Monday) got away from me.

I fully intend to have a post up Tuesday, but it's another busy day.

It's holidays, I get it. Family stuff has been busy on my side too. Think I got interrupted three times by humans and four times by dogs trying to bust out my last post. :P

In reply to Seth (msg # 127):

Ah yes, as a wood elf, I can attest to the nuisance of humans... :)
