Bandar, being the uncharismatic dwarf he is, is content to wait for other to gather information at the moment. He is, however, itching to help.

Jon Miller · September 12, 2003, 16:06

Tarna also has her eyes on the people entering and leaving the room. She points out there there seem to be questionable looking people who are pretty fresh looking carefully making their way to the back after talking to the InnKeeper. She also points out that one of the big guys who seem associated with the tavern seems to keep fairly close to the back door (unmodified spot roll of 19).

(when you guys say that you are going to look arround or anything, put down your roll also (say wether it is modified by skill ranks or ability scores), than it will enable you to do more actions per post and be easier on me also)

Harry Seldon · September 12, 2003, 16:24

"Maybe one of you should talk with the innkeeper. If ya like, I'll brain one o tha guards over there; then we don't even have to talk to anybody." Bandar reaches back and lovingly caresses an axe blade.

Harry Seldon · September 22, 2003, 14:24

Is anyone still playing this or should I take it off my favorites?

Jon Miller · September 22, 2003, 14:42

(I check a number of times a day, but you seem to be the only other one)

Jon Miller

Jon Miller · September 22, 2003, 14:43

(I was born near Huntsville BTW)

Jon Miller

Harry Seldon · September 22, 2003, 16:39

Really? I had wanted to go to UAH growing up but decided I didn't need to go to college.

Maybe someone else will come back. I'll check til Wednesday before I give up completely.

Jon Miller · September 22, 2003, 18:56

(acutally in, I lived near Huntsville for a long time)

Jon Miller

Jon Miller · September 22, 2003, 19:11

(long as in 4 years, born in Huntsville if you missed that)

[OOC]
Don't know if I mentioned it here or not, but I recently started a new job, which has been sucking away all my free time.

As much as I like this game/idea, it is obviously very hard to keep the story moving.

As for where we are story-wise - I kept expecting a bar brawl to break out at any moment - maybe we should start it ourselves?

[/OOC]

The Mad Monk · September 22, 2003, 23:56

What happened to our bard? I've been waiting for our Waterdeep expert who is also our contact to our client to wake up.

Jon Miller · September 23, 2003, 00:02

(Not been arround for quite a while, I was thinking about dumping him)

Jon Miller · September 23, 2003, 00:06

(I guess I will PM him if there is still interest)

right now we have Tarna, Bandar, Morganna, (Rags, can you still play?)

Ostler (Felch) has not involved for a long time

Jon Miller

Jon Miller · September 23, 2003, 00:11

I PMEd him

Jon Miller

Hot Mustard · September 23, 2003, 06:40

Yes, but my availability is greatly reduced. Don't expect much more than a couple of evening posts a day.

Harry Seldon · September 23, 2003, 09:19

A couple of posts a day is still really good. I figured that even if we could get one post a day from each player we could keep the story moving. Would it be possible for all of us to coordinate a time to be online once a week? If we could all be online and active for an hour or two it would greatly enhance the continuity of the story. Of course, we'd have to negotiate around extracurriculars, new and current jobs, etc...

Any takers?

Jon Miller · September 23, 2003, 09:25

I could do it

Jon Miller

Harry Seldon · September 23, 2003, 10:15

I hate to start negotiations with only one taker but it'd be nice to shoot for weekend nights or early evening weekdays. I have to be at work at 6:30 in the morning. I could be persuaded to get up earlier and get online before I go in.

The Mad Monk · September 23, 2003, 10:23

Weekend nights sounds good to me -- I'll either be working weekend overtime (third shift), or I'll be at home relaxing.

*Morganna starts prodding the unresponsive bard with her staff*

Harry Seldon · September 23, 2003, 11:25

Bandar notices Morganna and whispers, "I want his spell book if we take him out..."

Hot Mustard · September 23, 2003, 20:16

[OOC]
Weeknight evenings are spotty right now. Sometimes I'm available after 8:00pm EDT onwards, other times not until 10:00pm EDT. My morning routine during the week is far too hectic to squeeze in a visit. The weekends are getting better though. A weekend pre-arranged timeslot that isn't too big should be manageable.
[/OOC]

Rags whispers, "A bar brawl might make good cover for us to get through that back door, if the hired thugs join the fracas."

The Mad Monk · September 23, 2003, 21:58

*Morganna takes out pen and ink, and draws goatee on comatose bard*

Jon Miller · September 23, 2003, 23:42

if he doesn't appear soon should we do anytihng?

Jon Miller

The Mad Monk · September 24, 2003, 01:31

You could always take over the character (or have one of us do it).

Jon Miller · September 24, 2003, 02:05

I could

I don't actually like having characters when I am GMing (And have purposely kept Tarna silent because of this), but I could jsut change him to a usualy NPC..

Jon Miller

Harry Seldon · September 24, 2003, 10:08

[ooc]Morganna's a spellcaster, right? I say we send the bard back to the inn and if he shows up again he can try to find us.[/ooc]

Bandar grins at Rags and Morganna. "Starting fights is my specialty. Shall I?" Bandar reaches back for his axe and starts looking for a patsy.

Jon Miller · September 24, 2003, 10:11

Tarna looks questioning. "Taverns are usually busier later, maybe we could sneak back when everyone has their attention on something else? Maybe something that we could start but not be part of?" She looks at Rags.

(Rags is our current only spell caster, Morganna and I will be in the future)

Harry Seldon · September 24, 2003, 11:17

Bandar looks incredibly disappointed. Several people shy away from the dwarf with looks of disgust. "Well, if I haveta, I will." His hand returns to his side.

Hot Mustard · September 24, 2003, 18:47

I understand your thinking, but with the number of active eyes in here, there's a chance someone could spot either the spell or me casting it.

Besides, Bandar here hasn't smacked anyone around for days! I think a warmup prior to any real problems we might encounter later tonight might be just what the doctor ordered. What say you, Bandar? Do you think you could keep it clean enough to start a ruckus (subdual damage), and slink away within a minute to join us?

[OOC]
Just double-checking - we're headed for the (presently guarded) back door, right?

I'm thinking we want Bandar to start something with one of the patrons, to draw the guards into breaking up a brawl.

It can be wise to use non-magical solutions where possible, saving magical ones for when there is not other way.

Jon Miller · September 24, 2003, 23:53

(ooc)

I think so
