But unfortunately not an in-character post. Trying to leave you some room to jump in the thread. Any idea when that might be?

Yes. Now.

In reply to Khulekani Kumalo (msg # 942):

Hooray! <goes to read>

A (largely inconsequential) clarification, as there seems to have been some confusion; Atenas is a Human.

I know. I was bowing to Stormheart.

Then it is my mistake! :)

Idri has let me know she's busy with exams. I'll update the Host Tower thread later today.

In reply to DM Bears (msg # 947):

Ugh. I remember those days. Break a leg, Idri! :)

Bears,

Re: Msg. #17 in Thread 4-B (Guardians of the North)

I don't remember Eyes-of-the-Hawk showing up in-game, so I assume that Rhydd has not heard from her recently, correct?

What would Rhydd know of "Chardalyn"? I assume that you need a die-roll from me.

Thanks!

Eyes-of-the-Hawk has not shown up in-game and Rhydd has not heard from her.

Chardalyn is a fragile mineral capable of storing Spellpower. To refresh your memory, you happened upon a shard when traveling between Targos and Bryn Shander. It should be in Mallory's possession. Idrianthe also knows coming into possession of it was the Duergar's primary objective when they invisibly raided Caer-Konig.

But the mineral isn't new to the region with the onset of Auril's curse. You could make a History or Nature roll to see how much Rhydd specifically knows of it already?

In reply to DM Bears (msg # 950):

Ha! Not much, apparently!

19:51, Today: Rhydd Maldhon rolled 2 using 1d20 with rolls of 2.  Nature Check re: Chardalyn.

I'll be looking to move the Guardians thread forward in a couple of days as the current scene has been exhausted (barring maybe a final reply from Rhydd), at least in terms of the material I had planned. Fantastic posting, Stormheart and Rhydd! We'll resume with what the thread originally started out as, which will be the result of those Survival checks you made.

Bears: Jog my memory on who we planned to deliver a Sending spell toward?  I can't for the life of me recall.

You didn't. It is a case of foresight on Vellynne's part; should you wish to come into contact with the Rhydd/Stormheart/Khulekani/Farwalker group, there is now an avenue.

I'm still here. I was trying to let the private conversation play out but didn't want anyone to think I was ditching or anything, lol. And I realized today that I could try to engage the other person standing around heh.

Oh, that's not your fault at all. If anything it's poor etiquette on my part to exclude two out of three characters. I was planning on moving the thread along very soon anyway as I think the scene is very near its conclusion, so let's say I'll do that tomorrow or Friday to give some room for Khulekani (and Rhydd if he wants any final words) room to respond.

I apologize for the delay, it seems things are stalling on me. I've had a fairly busy weekend but will be looking to get posts up in both threads tomorrow.

I hope everyone's been enjoying their weekends! :)

I've been cooking chili for two days straight!  My house smells amazing.

Point of clarification; you will be able to reach the Owlbear den before night falls and you need to make camp. I would put the current time at around 7 PM. Should you choose not to make camp for the night you will accrue a point of Exhaustion come morning.

AH. I may have misread or misunderstood then. My apologies. I'll let it stand for the moment though as I want to see if anyone else is interested in investigating lol.

No worries, it was probably my post that was unclear. It also doesn't help that the day is so short, so when referring to the sunset I mean it's about 2 PM.

I'm leaving a bit of room for Idri who has expressed an interest to post.

Would also love to hear the response from Rhydd and/or Khulekani in the Guardians thread! :)

In reply to DM Bears (msg # 962):

Will have a post up for Rhydd shortly.

Alright, sorry for the delay! I hope everyone's had a nice weekend.

To let you know; until Idri's player feels like jumping back into the story, I'll be assuming control of her as an NPC to maintain her continued presence in the narrative.

Oof, I apologize again for being late in updating the threads. I've been doing an Inktober this week, which saps my creative energy in addition to taking up a lot of my free time. But I'm halfway through! :)

How are you doing, Khulekani?
