Hello! It's pretty late my time, so I'll probably be checking in IC tomorrow. Looking forward to playing with everyone!

Greetings, all!  I just got home from work and spent nearly an hour trying to find a fitting portrait that was not:

1) The wrong style/age, or
2) Sailor Jupiter

It did let me revisit my personal favorite "Female Modern Rugged" portrait, though!



So rugged

Anyway, I'll peruse the IC thread and see how I can show up.

Welcome

So...
I feel like we're in danger of stalling here if nothing happens soon. That's on me. I've not got any time pressure on and I feel like I did a poor job of hooking everyone in with the classic 'Lost Mines of Phandelver' opening.

I don't want this game to die. Here is my solution (of sorts)...
I'm going to give you all till Wednesday to introduce new PCs and discuss next moves. And then I'm going to send in the orcs.
Well, maybe not orcs.

Any thoughts?

I was kinda waiting on your input in the PM's me and Selena have about our introduction. If you give the go ahead we have roughly a plan made already

EDIT: Thread is called "Arrival"

Well, I suppose we are waiting for the authorities to arrive.

Yeah Relf is waiting for food, his plan will then be to rest and begin their investigations in the morning.

Yeah, we forgot to ping the GM in our little collaborative PM thread, but that's been resolved.  We should be able to have something up today or tomorrow at the latest (depending on time zones).

Either way, a cute healer will be showing up.

Well, at least until she opens her mouth.

I've a quick question about the system itself.  My Healer trait says I can roll 2d6 and if I pass, I heal 2 HP.  But it doesn't say anything about what happens if I fail my check.  Am I allowed to try again until I succeed and that just shows how long it takes, or does a failure mean I won't get to try again for a certain amount of time?

If time isn't a factor, I can't see a reason why you would be asked to roll in normal circumstances. If you were curing a magical illness or disease, the roll would likely represent a set of preparations and treatments you'd completed over a longer period. A retest would require a change in those preparations. I would let you reroll in those situations, I think.

That said, the game is more dependent on rulings over rules. So, context matters most - what would make sense at the time.

Thank you!

I wanted to make sure I was doing things properly, as this is my first time using the system and I don't have a full copy of the rules yet (it's pending an order).

I shall be away this weekend so my activity on Rpol will be limited.

Just say when you're ready to move on to the Fane.

On the good news front, Master Buckland has sent a message to say he's been unwell but still wishes to participate. Not good news about being unwell, I mean... Oh... You know what I mean. Just lets assume he shadowed Maun and Reif into the Golden Bough but has been staring off into the distance after his personal battle in the forest.

I think we're pretty much ready.  Selena is paying diplomatic lip service to the Coinwarden but is going with the other regardless.

Making someone in a position to make your job difficult think you respect them and their authority can help prevent headaches down the road, after all!

Can't wait for Selena to let the others know her true feelings about the Coinwarden once they're out of the area.

Once I get the final names of the Council members we can end the Meeting and continue

Sorry for the slow posting rate from me. Work is beating me with a large stick at the moment.

Are the ones that exited the building included in the obstacle? I assume we all hear the screaming and will be rushing back in, but I'm less sure if we will get to act in time

None of the NPCs have left the building as yet - they're mostly being very unheroic and throwing themselves out of harms way as best they can currently.

Some PC have left though. Rod, Selena and Relf I believe

EDIT: Rereading, Selena is still inside it seems

Aye, I hadn't left just yet.

EDIT:  I hope everyone will enjoy witnessing my choice of weapon.

Can Rod and Relf hear the commotion inside? I suppose our actions this round will be to go back inside if we hear anything?

I wonder if GM is okay.
Hopefully GM is :)

In both games I'm in that they GM last time they logged in was 2 weeks ago, so not much hope left

Here's hoping they're okay and coming back.
