Going to move the scene forward this evening. Everyone agree to go find this Burgomaster in the morning?

I'm good to move forward

 

[MechanicalSnake]

I stepped into it. Had to.

 

[WlfSamurai]

It looks like we shall see how this plays out. I look forward to Karl's response.

 

[MechanicalSnake]

Oh my I sure hope I did not kill the game

 

[WlfSamurai]

Oh my I sure hope I did not kill the game

Oh now. There’s no such thing! There’s is only what we find interesting/fun. I’m sure this is at least one of those two...

I look forward to Wondertainment ’s response.

 

[WlfSamurai]

I have a two things I’d like to state explicitly.

1. This is a published adventure, but player/character choice is my main focus. What you do is the most important and interesting thing. Feel free to make choices that you find interesting. Sometimes, this will step outside the published adventure. And that’s totally fine. Encouraged, even. I find it entertaining that we haven’t even left the opening scene before that happened.
2. There is no such thing as meta-gaming. There is what we as a group find interesting and fun. I find no difference between player or her character. It’s always your choice to do what you do. I think “well that’s what my character would do” arguments are BS. No. You have control of what you choose and how much fun that will be for someone else. Make the choices you find interesting and fun and that you know will be fun for everyone else. This goes for in-game knowledge, too. “Your character doesn’t know he’s there!” No, BS. The player wants to be in that scene, then they’re there. This is a game. Let’s do what we want.

Sounds great to me! My favorite part of DND is the fun situations that character's get into together, so I'm glad to hear that's encouraged.

Also, actually have a post typed up MechanicalSnake , I'm just waiting for Wondertainment's response before I do.

 

[WlfSamurai]

I think a quick response post and we can then move this forward.

Love the interactions, though. So good. Actually, when this concludes, you guys will get some XP for sure.

 

[Wondertainment]

Should I roll a History check or something. For now I'll just talk about common knowledge.

 

[WlfSamurai]

You can just talk about common knowledge—which is very little—or you can make a roll. History DC 15 I’ll give you some additional knowledge. Arcana DC 20 I’ll drop some important magical knowledge as well.

Hey guys, for the letter, I forgot to include the seal. I've added it to the post with the letter just so we have it included, but here it is as well:

 

[WlfSamurai]

I have a post forth-coming...

 

[dae mec]

Two questions: can I send my familiar to scout ahead through the gate? Also, Angel Bones is a lovebird who fits in Arala's hand, so would she be able to use prestidigitation to change the bird's color before scouting ahead?

Absolutely to both. To do it, post it in the main thread “in-game”.

 

[dae mec]

Lovely, would I need to roll for anything?

 

[WlfSamurai]

Lovely, would I need to roll for anything?

Nope. Just describe what you do and I'll get you a response on what your familiar sees.

 

[dae mec]

Ooooh, spooky. Did her sight end because something happened to Angel Bones, or is that the max range of her sight/bond?

 

[WlfSamurai]

I figured max range and it’s a one turn effect.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Putting together a post shortly.

 

[dae mec]

Alright! I'll wait until after to post, then,

 

[WlfSamurai]

Actually something came up. It's going to take me a few to get to it. If you want to post, go for it.

 

[WlfSamurai]

Just so you guys know, I'm going to open the recruitment thread to see if we can get a sixth player.

[WlfSamurai]

dae mec , I have a small post ready. Let me know if you want to add yours first or I can pop this one in.

 

[dae mec]

Go ahead, I'm still writing mine. I'll adjust as needed. Question though, will we be pausing until we get a sixth?

Nah, we'll keep going. If/when someone joins, we'll find a creative way to add them in.
