Giving our two busy players a little more time to post again before I bring in Gundren.

This part is mostly for RP and getting to know each other, which we've got literally the whole game to do, so I'll get it moving forward tomorrow after Rose posts, or tomorrow evening if they're still not feeling up for it.

Updates tomorrow will probably be later in the evening since I have to go to the office in Dallas for a meeting.

Apologies for the big wall of text I dumped on you for the quest intro. I probably should have wrote it out in advance and then highlighted the important parts, but I hadn't thought about it until just now, and I need to get to bed.

Hope you all had a nice weekend. Looking forward to getting this started off for real this week.

In reply to Psynister (msg # 12):

I picked up the sickness my daughter was having through the week, so that sucks.

I woke up at like 2 this morning and got out of bed at 4 cause I was too frustrated to get back to sleep, that really sucked.

But, as they say, means tomorrow can only get better.



I know this is a homophone, and fully aware of what you were trying to go for, but reading that as needing more child labor is a thing that could still be true, and is a very humorous alternative reading.

Oh jeez

I really want to get some replies out tonight, but I'm unexpectedly exhausted, so I'm heading to bed early.

I want to do these replies justice, so I'll get you tomorrow.

Today I got to transition from a contractor to working direct for my company, so that's good news. The orientation was a whole lot of information and forms to sign. I think driving to/from Dallas in heavy rain and lots of traffic is probably what's got me so worn out.

For the sake of celebration though, I'm going to start everyone off with Inspiration. You can use it whenever you want to, to have advantage on a d20 roll.

Congrats on the promotion.

Yippee for inspiration.

As Bonthot has said.....congrats and a huge thanks

I have a live game tonight, so any posts from my will be later tonight.

Congrats on the promo.

Live session went pretty well, even if I did nearly kill them all with a group of ankhegs. With 30 minutes left, I gave them the opportunity to take a short rest and call it a night, or we could fight all the creatures that were left in this location in a single encounter, and they chose the latter.

Life Clerics are ridiculous, in case anyone was wondering.

Oh they are pretty crazy....they are the ultimate healers.

Me...I'm a mix of healer and warrior

I'd like to get things moving for real this weekend, or on Monday at the latest.

one of the things I notice with 5e is that there's an awful lot of turnover. The 1st edition guys/gals are typically rooted to their computers waiting for the next melee round to start.


I wonder why that is.

I'm here waiting.

You're free to RP with one another all you'd like in the "A Night In Neverwinter" thread. We'll consider it a separate timeline from the other IC posts. I'll keep it open until interest in those scenes dies down. If an open RP thread sounds appealing, I can set another up as we reach new cities.

Game thread is open.

I'll get us moving tomorrow. Had a long day getting my au pair moved and settled into my place.

Putting it off for one more day. I've got another player coming in to fill Rosalyn's spot while she's gone, and we'll work her back into the story when life's done serving her lemons.

I'll have the new guy introduce himself, but we'll handwave his intro and pretend he was at the dinner and everything with the rest of you for the sake of keeping things rolling.

Hi, guys! I'm the New Guy. I play in another one of Psy's games, but am eager to join this one.

Does anyone see any niches or roles that need to be filled in the party. I'm fairly flexible when it comes to creating and playing characters. Also any immediate character hooks I could latch on to for anyone?

Howdy, Ken. You know me as Maric from the other game. Good to see you step up over here.

This is a pretty interesting start to the game. Some interesting characters as well. Think this will be a fun campaign.

Cheers and welcome.

Plot hooks, not much yet. Once you start interacting, it'll be easier to figure out what hooks there are.

By the way, my character's name is BonThot.

Everyone comes from rather unique places and backgrounds, so the common hook right now is that all of the PC's have a connection to one, or both, of the gentlemen who hired everyone for this opening job. Once your character has been made, I'll give you that hook.

Further hooks will come into play as we progress the current story.

Howdy, BT! Glad to see you over here, too! I've got to spend some time on character creation and the thought process. I'm reading the IC RP threads and I'll get caught up on the main thread, too. If I find a niche needs fillin' I'll jump in with something. Right now, though, I'm sorta drawing a blank.

BTW, how're we creating characters, and at what level?

-Ken

We're starting at first level. Character Creation is the standard method, I believe.
