[Ptolus/AD&D] OOC Thread #1

[Lilaxe]

I can go on a later trip. I'm quite squishy so prefer a good sweep of the area before I head down.

TDD/Ylarum already indicated in this thread that he is open to modifications in what he thought (as one of the players, not a caller) was a good arrangement to secure the place down there. The only thing that he wants for sure is to be on the first trip (which is already under way: Gareth and Ylarum).

You each have a say on the matter.

So, with your modifications what we've got at this point is:

Trip 1: Gareth (because he really wanted to be on the first trip) and Ylarum first. Gareth might take a lantern as a light source.

Trip 2: Runch and Rissthil.

Trip 3: Ulas Zegg and man-at-arms.

Trip 4: Nimten and man-at-arms.

Trip 5: Snade and

This is what seems to make the most sense as a compromise. Runch is on the second trip, and provides healing if necessary. The guys going down on the first few trips are all able to take some damage in a fight, if need be.

Basically what I'm doing is putting the PCs first. If that makes henchmen jump off their slots and go down later, so be it.

Othos, Smeads and Tudd still need to say whether they want to wait or take one of the henchmen's slots here.

A single trip is basically taking one turn. One turn to go down, one to go up, one to go down again, and so on. So there are basically two turns between each arrival down there.

For Nimten: 1d100=88

The profiles thread is handy. Thanks, Ben.

Welcome! I'm thinking this will become increasingly useful as the game unfolds!

Sorry for the delay.  Yes, Othos would like to be down there.  The more divine assistance the better.  The next trip possible, I reckon, if there is a hireling to bump.

You'll be on trip 3:

   Trip 1: Gareth (because he really wanted to be on the first trip) and Ylarum first. Gareth might take a lantern as a light source.

Trip 2: Runch and Rissthil.

Trip 3: Ulas Xegg and Othos.

Trip 4: Nimten and man-at-arms.

Trip 5: Tudd and man-at-arms.

Trip 6: Smeads and Snade.

Trip 7: Porters

I think I got everyone here.

Is the portrait of Angharad from one of the Malhavoc publications, or maybe one of the Icewind Dale video games? It looks familiar.

[Benoist]

It's an illustration from Michael Komarck, who did a lot of work for Malhavoc Press, most notably on Arcana Evolved and indeed, Ptolus.

Ah, I probably saw it on his site.

[Benoist]

I think I am going to replace Angharad and Cadfan's pics with shots of their miniatures. Sooner rather than later.

Does that mean we should fight them?

LOL!!! Not automatically no... but who knows, right?

Nah. I just think that aesthetically, that'd be better. It's more OS, it makes the imagination work more, since the eye tries to fill in the blanks, so to speak... Not to mention, that'd be my art then, not someone else's.

LOL! Thankfully, Drohem rolled first for the two of you!

You were afraid, weren't you?
