This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

AH Man it's like me who ignored your post a little while ago. It's alright dude!
We all screw up. The only question is "when," and how we move on with it. :D

Othos is currently still mucking about the dias, concluding his study of the map.  He just overheard someone mention smiting some goblins.  He's looking around for everyone and wants to bash some skulls.

Where the hell is everyone?

As far as I understand it, right now, we've got:

  • Othos, Gareth and Rissthil relatively close to the trap with the big crystals.
  • Nimten, Runch, Tudd and Smeads are in the armory room.
  • Ulas Xegg, Ylarum and Co. by the dais.
Group dynamics are a challenge themselves that you should overcome together to get stuff done. ;)

This is my understanding of the situation. The "armory" group is positioned and ready for some action!
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

You guys in the armory room don't have any light source, if I'm not mistaken?

Tudd & I did not bring any in with us...we do have infra 60' (?). Not sure if the others have/need a source or not.

Oooh. Interesting. Indeed.

Quote from: Benoist;424584Oooh. Interesting. Indeed.

oh-oh....perhaps I am not understanding how Infrav. works...do we only see objects transmitting heat or is it more like low-light goggles? I don't recall...:hmm:

So if I understand Rissthil and Ylarum's agreement, what we're having here basically is a consensus to gather in the armory and somehow get in the room where the goblins are hiding, correct?

Also, testing Infravision. Looks badass on a pure-IF map, but what do you think of it on the corner of that map? Maybe hard to tell by the contrast between the zone with actual light and the zone without it.

The effect is the cat's meow Ben.  Thanks for the updated map.

OK. I'll assume Tudd and Runch stay on each side of the door, and Smeads open the door. Then big guys charge in by marching order (i.e. Tudd, Runch, Ylarum, pikemen, Ulas, Nimten and Othos, Rissthil, Smeads, Gareth. Am I getting that right?

Is that the plan?
