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.

eh...is Porcius with the scouting group?
:confused:
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!

No, but I figured they let us know of the battle once they saw it, didn't they?

If they didn't, could we just assume that Porcius followed them after his talk with the slaver? It's what he was planning to do, anyway.
Obvious troll is obvious. RIP, Bill.

Maybe I'll keep those dice, then. :D

OOC: Arnould personally didn't. He is just assessing the situation at this point. No way he could have gone back yet, nor would he shout under these conditions. I'm not sure there's a line of sight between him and the rest of the group either. I'll be waiting on a ruling from the DM on this before I post. Whether Porcius is with us, and where his actual position would be if he is.

Drohem

Yes, currently Poricus has no knowledge of what is going on with the trio that went scouting over the hill.  He can't even see them currently from his position with the rest of the group down in the original ravine that the group was walking along.

Premier, you can edit your last post to reflect his desire to leave the group and follow the scouts over the hill.

I prefer to maintain continuity as much as possible, and avoid retconning at all if possible. :)

So, what do Arnound and Sterling do at this point?

Are any of the orcs or goblins paying attention to the old man? Does he seem under an immediate threat of death?

So, you are going to take some time to assess the situation further?  Post it! :D;)

The wounded and most of your loot is back up in the Gold Ladder at this point. Are you guys going to move back up and mend your wounds, take a rest etc at this point, or is there something else you'd like to do?

Also, preparing a plan of action for what to do or investigate next might be a good idea. :)

Drohem

Hi guys,

I sincerely apologize for my absence of late.  I'm torn here in discussing the why because I don't want to come across as whiny, but my family and I have had some significant difficulties of late that pretty much knocked my dick in the dirt.  I spiraled into a depressive state and pretty much withdrew from everything to insulate and consolidate.

My family is under some significant financial pressure due to medical issues and insurance issues, and this last week our furnace stopped working.  We had to stay out of the house for several days while it was repaired, and the stress of that situation, as well as its financial impact, lowered my resistance and I fell into a depressive state for the last couple of weeks.

I would like to continue the game, but I would completely understand if you didn't want me to continue the game due to my flakiness.  

Sincerely,
Drohem

Benoist

Good feelings and prayers sent your way, my friend.

As for the game, it's up to you and what needs to be done about your situation. If you think the game can help you relax and get back to the RL fight with renewed energy, let's go on with the game. If that's too much work or attention diverted from the real issues that need to be attended to, including your health and well-being, then it's not a good idea, and we need to put the game on pause for the time being.

One way or the other, you have my support.

Dude, this game has already gone on longer than any PBP I've been a part of...so, swimming success in that regard.

If you need to chill a bit and then come back to it or whatever, do what you have to...it's just a game...family is more important, man...=)

Just take care, keep your chin up, take care of the family...I'm with Benoist, whatever you need to do, we'll do.
