Almost every one is here, I had one more extra rtj from the last game, so we are set with 4 or 5.

Welcome everyone!

I’ve got all the info I can think of in the proper channels so figure stuff out together and ask me questions.

Those who have played COS before may know that typically we start in the death house. Since I'm running this game twice I'd like to skip the death house. You're already level 3, which by the book doesn't happen until you complete the death house, so lets have a vote.

I don't know the game sections are by name.  I'll double check in PMs with the DM. If it's the one I think, I can use it in my backstory.  I'm ok with skipping it.

yes it is, most DM's start with the death house. We have enough people who have done it before that we should skip it.


Which is great, because I'm running this game twice and I'd very much like to not do everything the same. :) Which of course it won't be the same, because you'll make different choices.

No chickens in the pics?  Disappointing...

Never played before - no idea what the "death house" is, but it doesn't sound like somewhere I want to be.

I will whip something together.  I wanted to verify what Lando was playing first, as I was considering a Bard, and the last thing any party could probably ever need is two Bards.  I'll try to find some healing under a rock somewhere.

Just a note to everyone....brankx is the type to talk straight and not beat around the bush. Any comments that are aimed at your characters are not personal insults. Its just his character.

When he is threatened, he doesn't back down, he calls a spade a spade and he's as subtle as....well, a dwarf.

LOL. Here I thought well this isn't going to end well... worried you're going to end up charging him after.


Brankx:
Brankx was about yo speak when his mouth sealed magically shut at the vampires words. He sheathed his dagger  and brought his hands up to his mouth, a note of anger and panic mixed.

He glared at the cause of this, but crossed his arms, tapping a foot.

<OOC:
09:40, Today: Brankx rolled 8 using 1d20 (wisdom saving throw).

....well, that's one way to shut him up....lol>

Lando:
When Skuldja said that black dragon blood was sour, he nodded, and added in support, "it could have something to do with the acid."

He had to stifle a chuckle when Brankx was silenced, but he was skilled at keeping his composure, and there were serious matters at hand.

Zrakrud had taken the lead on reasonable questions, so he left the discussion to him for now.

not really. At the top right there is game info | jump | rmail, etc

Jump will make a little sticky list you can keep open to see when someone has posted something new, so you're not refreshing the page constantly. Typically I only check this site every few hours to reply.


I actually didn't pay attention to alignment, but so far our barbarian has made the most sense...that might be an indication...

Welcome Doc! I'm going to be playing Skuldja as true neutral, but I have the tendency to go more towards chaotic good sometimes. An evil leaning thing Skuldja might do, is drag Ireena to Stahd's castle by her hair kicking and screaming. She is really looking forward to a delicious meal that we all have been promised.

Skuldja Blackrazor:
"Maybeee..." Skuldja was currently distracted by her new Lute and didn't seem too concerned about currently being lost in the woods with only a path to guide them. She walked over to the stool and sat down on it and started to play and a Draconic song about Io getting split into Bahamut and Tiamat and the creation of dragons and dragonkin. She forgets most of the lyrics and replaces them with nonsense words and struggles with remembering how to play it on the lute.

01:59, Today: Skuldja Blackrazor rolled 3 using 1d20+2.  Performance.



Uh I'm currently holding the Stool. I didn't put it down after picking it up an examining it.

As everyone started to walk down the path, Skuldja gathered up her things and was soon following behind everyone. As everyone stopped to examine the gate, she stepped up and tried to open it by simply pushing or pulling on it.

Boom!  Doctor in the house.

10:13, Today: Seti Aldieri rolled 25 using 1d20+5.  Medicine.

I was fine taking 10 and/or letting the GM roll. If I were GM, for those kids of rolls, I might want to do it myself to keep up the mystery.

Seti Aldieri:
Seti looks at Remei and Zrakrud with a blank stare, not a gaze, but more of a questioning one. "Wizards...," he thinks, "They have no respect for the divine, and no understanding of it." He announces with a voice of authority, the first time he has really spoken up since being here, "The undead are an abomination, an attempt to rob Lord Pluto of his dominion over all mortal souls. This shall not be. Please, step back."



LOL Zrakrud never said anything about the Gods. Though he doesn't really hold them in regards given his world and them having no "God Granted" Divine casters.

Since it's PBP, for checks like this everyone can roll and I'll spin it in your favor, responding to whoever rolled the highest in the post. That doesn't mean you should post something you wouldn't do just bc you rolled badly. Still post what you would normally want to, don't let your dice determine your rp. The dice only determine if it works.

I've never played this scenario/adventure, but I think the slowdown generally comes from the players/characters being in a pretty observatory role. We're watching the townsfolk do their thing for now. Presumably, after the funeral, we may need to secure lodgings, find some food, etc., as nothing much seems to be happening here. It wouldn't seem prudent to just dive in on the girl, as she'll have to get to know us. So... here, as a player, but as far as posting is concerned, just watching for now.

I agree, I think we need to let the NPCs set the scene. I know Curse of Strahd has a lot of moody atmosphere; some of it might not translate smoothly to pbp.  I think the DM is doing a pretty good job adjusting.  Once we get out pace, things will get smoother.

Would be happy to have any insight from the townsfolk on WTF is going on. Prior to the intraparty dialogue, Seti asked:

----------------

"The truth is - we know very little about each other. We were summoned here, by this Strahd of whom your people speak, I believe. If we are not the first, perhaps you can tell us about the others. Why does he do this? What does he want?" Seti inquires.

-----------------

If she won't say or doesn't know, so be it, but want to be clear we asked.

It get's really slow. The best way I have seen it run so far. The DM states the "enemy's" attention. Then everyone just posts their actions and the DM sorts the order, damage done/taken at the end. And we restart. NO one has to wait for so and so to go to act. Otherwise if you wait on Initiative order it can take a week or longer for one round.

The fortunes are like the whole entire point of the game, for anyone who didn't catch that. You run around and collect all these things and they help you fight strahd.

In reply to DM (msg # 173):

As, probably better not to make it optional then!

I get the difficulty in how much rope to give the players to go off script, but when they don't know the script, I prefer to just be lead along - let's not pretend things are optional if they aren't. As a player, I'm happy to go along with whatever - if I know that.

But now these guys send us to see someone who won't let us in. (facepalm)

Hmmm.. as usual, Seti will let Lando do the talking.

Re: OOC

I know exactly what you mean, Seti. here's a world and you can do whatever the hell you want in it...oh wait I forgot to tell you what the ground is made out of. You're stuck in cement.

I've tried to make every choice obvious: you can do this or that. But I can't say this is a completely free world do whatever you want. For PBP that would be pretty hard.

Now the choice is persuade or intimidate.

Re: OOC

I'm not trying to take a pot shot at you - just saying that certain adventures are hard PBP, or they make require some modifications or speed through scenes to avoid the drag. I find once games drag, they're hard to get back on track and eventually die. Running a game PBP is tough.

Lando is the group's "spokesperson", so we sort of have to wait for him.

If we're taking a short rest Lando will play his viola for song of rest.

Beginning at 2nd level, you can use soothing music or oration to help revitalize your wounded allies during a short rest. If you or any friendly creatures who can hear your performance regain hit points by spending Hit Dice at the end of the short rest, each of those creatures regains an extra 1d6 hit points.

Really hoping the boy was already dead and I only mutilated his corpse by decimating the statue with him inside. I'm no where smart enough to do the forensics. A smarty pants with a good medicine check is going to have to do it for me. Hopefully I won't be blamed after the battle.

Re: OOC

I agree, the barbarian shoukld take the axe. The spear can go to any of us really, it being a simple weapon.

Karasha is a spellcasting druid, so she uses spells, and with shileage, will enhance her staff when needed, so the spear will be a bit of a waste in her hands. If Lando or Zrak can use it more effectivly, then they can have it, if not, then Karasha will use it

Lando has a 8 str so he prefers range attacks.  He can use a spear in a pinch, but I'd rather it went to someone who could put it to better use.  If we find a magic crossbow though..

Re: OOC

Karasha has a strength of 10, so in her hands the attack is +2. When using shileage on a staff, it increases to +4, magical and does extra damage.

But, as i said, no one else wants it, she will carry it

Re: OOC

I would like to fast forward you all to the next location. Here are the known options:

1. Ruins of Berez: Davian assumes this is where his family has been taken-Berez is a long way, several hours of travel, to delay in getting there may lead to his family's deaths
2. Vallaki: Vallaki is a short detour on the way to Berez, If you return to Urvin with his wine he may be able to help with extra men, but that would mean taking time away from going to Berez

I haven't mentioned these locations that are on the way, and I feel like your characters wouldn't choose to get distracted and explore a new quest without finishing the one you're on, but here's some more options:
3. Wizard of Wines: you could take a long rest in this safe place, although I think brankx was the only one who needed healing
4. V on map, a short detour from the main road would take you to a wizard tower near lake baratok, let's assume Ireena told you about this.

Re: OOC

I guess Lando can hold on to the spear.  It is a melee weapon, and he can use if it comes to it.

Can we get a long rest in the wagon as we travel?  Skuldja needs it, and Lando could use it.  If we go to Vallaki we could get reinforcements to offset our weakness.  Going to Vallaki is longer than going straight to Berez, but it's quicker than a long rest at the Wizard of Wine.

As long as Skuldja can rest as we ride I say 1.  If we can't rest as we ride I say 2.  Either way we can pick up the wine in rout.

Re: OOC

You cannot rest while travelling, bc Barovia.

I've removed any random encounters just to keep the story going, as combat usually takes us a few weeks, vs we can do a lot of roleplay/story in a few weeks.

I suggest we go to Vallaki, catch up with Urvin, and then you can long rest at his Inn. Then we can decide the next step from there. There is a ton of stuff to do in Vallaki, so even though Berez is like "do it now before Davian's family dies" you can at least meet more Vallaki npcs.

If you're worried about running too many NPCs, we can split the party with the PCs and a few NPCs in one group, and the rest can fudge their part off screen.

I don't think this is an encounter that we can just fight our way through.  I want to try something stupid, but I wanted to check with you guys before committing to it.  I didn't want to do this because it's so cliche, but desperate times, and all.  I want to seduce the witch.

Idk if you want to hear this, but the other group died and I did a DM thing and they are fine and Baba is dead thanks to the paladin’s sacrifice.

Oh crap.

We don’t have any paladins.

Time for some seduction.

Roll persuasion or deception with advantage.

I'm waiting on other folks to post first before Lando does anything.  I don't see a way out of this without deus ex machina, but maybe one of you guys has an ace up your sleeve. I think Lando would play a stalling game to let Zrakrud get away, if he knew to get away.  He's a wizard, they're pretty sharp.

This is true and I am not against it. Baba Lysaga is smart but at this point probably doesn't even know of Zarkrud's presence.

Still, killing Isla might be your only hope of being hopeless. Curse of Strahd is a bit different from all the other dnd games. Sometimes you have to lose to win.

Don't worry too much about it, Skuldja.  Sometimes things don't work out the way you planned.  I don't consider it a TPK if someone survives.  Right now I'm counting on Zrakrud getting out of the area.

I'm cool with new characters if things don't work out.  I've wanted to try druid, or cleric.

If I haven't already put it in the RULES channel, I am invoking my mulligan rule! If you get 3 fails/misses/whatever in a row, you get an automatic nat 20 on your next action (this can be used very wisely).

Skulja, I think you've gotten 3 fails now, so your next roll, whatever it is, nat 20.

Re: OOC

I'm working with lando on what happens next, but truly, we need to figure out what happens to everyone else before I worry about him.

Do you guys try to carry off his body, or leave it and run?

Zrakrud is completely safe, Skuldja has hp but is KO, if that nat20 applies this round then she will wake up and her and Karasha need to run, or try something else.

I would prefer for you all to run away, Baba Lysaga laughing at you burns a permanent memory into your brains, and maybe you'll decide to go back and kill her later when you're stronger.

Then I'll worry about getting Lando put back into the game after that happens.

Or you could decide something else, and I'm all for that. PLease note, you guys are doing well, this wasn't a bad decision, there was never enough info for you to know how powerful she was, and then the dice roller has crapped all over you all. Characters dying happens, and it's never the end.

Re: OOC

Lando held onto the spear because no-one else wanted it.  Skuldja had the ax because she can use it.  Zrakrud was the only one who interacted with the holy symbol, so I assume he still has that.

Also there's a chance Lando could return in an altered state, but I don't want to do that without everyone's approval.  He died fair and square, and I'd make a new character if people prefer that.

Re: OOC

Ok we will wake up in Vallaki again, I'm considering changing the way we've been organizing threads, perhaps instead of forcing the group to stick together in one "Chapter" I might create threads for every location in Vallaki (there are 10) and then you can all go explore, either all together, or party splits. I think this might help more with understanding everything that is there, because the town is quite large and there are tons and tons of NPCs I will make as you meet them.

What say you?

I think I mentioned before that Lando wants to get info on Strahd in the city.  He might try the church first, but that might not be fun for everyone.  Also, once we finish our meeting with Strahd now, Lando wants to discuss some things with the group, and get in touch with Ireena and her Ismark.

Fair enough. Zrakrud will wander to the stockyard and the coffin maker. They seem interesting. He's avoiding the Burgomeister and likely the church.

Re: OOC

I admit defeat. I am sorry gang, I have failed you. I'm deleting this one in a week from now. I don't have the enthusiasm to get the ball rolling again.

Re: OOC

Thank you and I'm sorry for my part. Work has been busy and haven't felt the effort to post. Really unsure what to doo honestly with where I was at.
