Hey guys,

As you may have discerned, finding time to get on the Inn and Co-DM this has been a struggle lately. I had hoped getting back to work on a schedule would provide an easy framework for setting aside time to post here but it's been the exact opposite. I'm now work 6-7 nights a week, and between recovering from that and scraping together the bare minimum of a social life I've realised I've gone and taken on too much at once. 

I always love playing with you guys and this group of characters was particularly inspiring (shoutouts to Bruno!) so it's very disappointing that unfortunately I'm just going to have to withdraw from this game and probably any posting for a while yet. My own stubbornness caused me to drag this out long after I got inklings of my availibility situation, and I apologise to you guys for stringing it along. Hopefully after some time on my new schedule I get adjusted enough to find time to come back and get a game with you all once more.

You guys are still the best.

Regards, Gruggles☻

And we're all in. Chess and I should have a hance to update Mon-Tues.

And someday I'll use those reserved posts at the start of this thread.

And I really need to buy a vacuum.

Has anyone ever told you guys that you're an impressive collection of players? Because you're an impressive collection of players.

sounds good to me

Yep you all rolled like crap. Battle map will be together shortly.

They were supposed to wait.

There was no sign of the merchant caravan, just a wooded trail well worn from travel. The caravan lead, full of confidence and empty of sense, decided that actually utilizing the adventurers he'd hired was more hassle than setting off without them, and apparently did so. Sure they'd been slightly late, delayed more than a few times, gained and lost a few members but even so it seemed that their patron misunderstood at least half of the term “armed escort” on a fundamental level.

The trail was a known one, used by merchants to transport their wares to the small hamlet of Alustama for years without trouble, and perhaps the escort fee eating into their margins caused the merchants to rethink the expense in their overconfidence. A short trek through the woods and across the wheat fields beyond probably seemed trivial, but there was a reason the group had been hired in the first place. Over the past week, two caravans had gone missing, and few had heard word from their destination in some time. Rumours of bandits had been whispered in local taverns, and a call for able-bodied adventurers willing to risk life for coin was raised. Still, with no caravan waiting to be protected, it seemed unlikely that coin would be collected.

The noon sun beat down on the assembled would-be escorts, Bastion Soleil the half-Elven bard, Sálome Herodías the full blooded Elven conjurer, Baldric Oakbottom the mysterious Halfling and finally Llammoch, the half-Orc paladin accompanied by Bruno the Bold, his faithful warhound. They had met the night before, getting to know one another before the journey they'd expected to take today. For the moment however it seemed their talents, as well as their time, were to be wasted.

Just as it seemed they'd resolved to leave for other matters, the group's attention was called to the treeline by Bruno's low growl. Upon closer inspection, there was movement in the bushes, and Bruno's growl was soon answered by a chorus of barks. One by one, a small pack of wolves emerged from the underbrush, five in total, each significantly larger than an average wolf. As they spread out preparing to encircle the group, it became apparent from their blood stained muzzles that this was not the first encounter this pack had met today.

The last of them came fully into view, its jaws clenched on a grisly sight. Even at this distance the group could clearly discern the sigil ring of a merchant house on the hand of what appeared to be a freshly severed arm. Perhaps there would be some purpose to their day after all.

(OOC: And we're off! We're going right into combat. Initiatives and maps will be in the Q&A!)

Due to timing issues it seems intro will be delayed until tomorrow, apologies.

Countdown to start update, I ate a banana today.

This potassium will carry me to the weekend.

In my experience making the map 3d will limit the people able to play it to actual aerospace experts. I likre the idea though

Olan was also missed

Jozan - Please have the sheet in by friday. I expect Chess and I will have first posts up this weekend.

Delay has been on my end, apologies for that. 

I play my +5 Horn of Jozan Summoning

Haven't done a full numbers acounting yet but there is one set of numbers I know. We have 3 sheets! That's over half! Looking forward to the next two!

Couple sheets in, doing our due diligence. Things progressing.

Fun fact I broke my f5 key during an attempt to buy my mother a teapot on ebay.

Ok, I snickered.

Yo SO. Happy Birthday!
