I'm so sorry for your loss of the Arby's! I went to one just three weeks ago during their happy hour where Buffalo bleu cheese sliders and curly fries are only a dollar each and let's just say I'm no less fatter than when I walked in there!

How did I miss this update!? Glad to see that you're working hard and recovering, even if it's slow going.

Topic: The Death of the Inn?
Subject: .


Just a few months ago we were deep into playing Grugg's game "Fortune's Favored" and I was hoping that we were going to have a nice and lengthy game. But some unfortunate events stopped that for now and things seemed to die down again for me around here. I would hate to see the inn closed up and I'm thinking as others have said, the advancement of other avenues to get a gaming fix seems to of evolved making PbP not as relevant.

Personally around my area game stores promoting DnD have really exploded, I'm thinking maybe more and more people are able to get their fantasy fix face to face while live games on sites such as Roll20 and other table top simulators make anyone looking for an online game able to do them live with maps, graphics, dice simulators, and other bells and whistles. Plus I feel more and more people today just don't have the patience for PbP games.

As long as the inn is up though, I'll visit daily (some times just creeping without logging in ) and peruse the sweet articles.

Subject: Murder in Baldurs gate recruitment


So a while ago I started a game that was going well but I needed to halt for a bit. Longer than I wanted I paused it but now I want to kick it into gear again. Its near the beginning and very easy for a new character to jump but first spots will go to my original players if they would still like to play. I made the QnA thd parent thread im case you want to look into it, and just so you know it is a module so if you have played it before, I ask that you do not join. Thanks

5e and PM me for character creation details if you like

Subject: and we're off!


The golden drink was cool, the meal warm, and Setus' warm rays all made for one of the better mornings Relos had had in a while. That and the lack of battle wounds or hangovers. Having left his armor and halberd in their room, Relos sat comfortably in a blue sleeved tunic, his silvered holy symbol hanging from his neck. It felt nice to feel the breeze and walk briskly without layers of steel covering your body.

They casually ate, drank, and discussed their next course of action, and as if reading the same book over again, they could guess his words; Not letting the weak defend themselves, champion their cause for them, make sure what's right is what is done.

He didn't think being a person of good morals was that hard of a concept for some people, but apparently he was wrong. Maybe taking the holy vows of Gian had subtlety influenced him, but even from a young age doing good just seemed the right thing. What's more pleasant then seeing the gratitude on someone's face when you help them when thy least expect it, or give them everything they need in a time of great trouble. To him, giving someone like Isiah all of his coin and then being invited in for a meal and night's rest is more valuable than just buying a night at an inn. People appreciate you more and you make a friend that can pay off ten fold down the road at some point. And what if they don't invite you? Well then either they are so destitute they have nothing to give, and you should feel right doing what you can, or they are a greedy sod who you know to stay away from, someone who you probably can't trust later in life.

With Fortune's Favored, he was a moral out-lier, the moment he gives up gold or belongings to people who truly need it more, their heads spin and jaws drop like they've seen a ghost. Why, he'll never understand. Some people feel as strongly about their own personal gain as he does about the welfare of others, and that's O.K, but if spending his time with them he rubs off a little compassion then that would be alright with him.

"Did I hear right, y'er looking to find Jaron then?", he paused to take a swig of his own drink, "This'd be the time then, after what you lot did last night anyway. Jaron's known in the land but more for his cruelty than manpower...I reckon that was a good part of his men."

Lost in his own thought as he watched the others, Argo spoke up and added his speculation. If what he said is true then Fortune's Favored could probably do this themselves! Finished chugging his beer that Relos had an odd respect for, Argo resumed speaking.

"I don't know about the townfolk's thoughts m'self, though I doubt they're ready for much even with yer help. Though from what I hear the man in charge of the villagers you spoke to earlier is Tomas...he'll be the one you want to talk to about such matters, done some time huntin' out in the wilderness, knows the land and where you'll need to go. Shouldn't be too hard to find Tomas...he's the one carrying your sword."

As Argo bused the table Relos nodded in slight agreement. He felt Argo was right about the townsfolk not being ready for a fight, the short day of training barely a dent in what proper combat training should be. But if all that is said is true then they could probably take control themselves and do the job, as the town would expect of them and as they should. It's the right thing to do of course.

"Argie's right though, it'll help us tell these cretins apart. Come, O pious one, let us seek our fortune."

The one called Malachi, Mal, or the Argent Blade. Interesting to take a moniker but it wasn't unheard of, so Relos went with it. The man stood and bid Relos to follow, and he did. Standing up he made his way to the door with Mal, not before thanking Argo of course. He looked to the rest of the group and gestured over his shoulder to Mal.

"I've been drafted to look around town for Tomas, hopefully it won't take too long. We should meet back here in few hours and decide on what to do. I'll let Mal know if you guys split off in town."

Relos turned and followed Mal out the door, taking a few strides to catch up. Standing beside him struck up a conversation as they made their way through the town.

"So Mal, if what Argo says is true, maybe we can do this without involving the folk here at all. You saw yesterday how they were doing. One day's training is not going to make a man into a soldier. They're gonna freeze up and probably end up worse n' those wretches at the farm."

( Relos will Also Gather info, splitting off a bit from Mal to cover a bit more ground but checking in over the next few hours. Also gear I'm wearing for the morning. Boots, dark brown pants, blue sleeved tunic, sword belt with sheathed dagger, pouch with 20 gold in it, pack with books, torches, healing kit, mortar and pestle, rope, artisans tools. I'm also wearing my ring. Everything else is in the room.)

Subject: .


The fight was over, the battle was won. But he knew that their war had only just begun. Soon enough someone would notice those thugs never returned from their search and something even worse would befall the farms or even Schell itself.

Relos mulled over these thoughts as they stood about Isiah's farm, meeting the farmer and his militia escort. He hadn't had much to add to the conversation with everyone else already doing a fine enough job, until two young men came asking about the equipment that had been discarded. They asked to keep the weapons and armor, their own weaponry supplanted with house hold items and workshop tools. It was Malachi who spoke up first.

"I see no reason why not. In fact, I can do better than that. A place like this needs a hero sometimes but a protector always." His speech was punctuated with tiny shreds of bark as his mouthful of homemade headache cure became slightly airborne with his words. "Bring yourselves and six others back here when the others have left, and I will give you a lesson on how to safeguard your city. Oh, and take the armor with you, I expect you to have it on when you return."

As his words sunk in, Relos couldn't help but smile. Of course this line of thought would be the answer to the problem that plagued his mind. Obviously the group couldn't stay here forever, so make them self sufficient! It was the only way they would survive this hostile world, and Relos would do everything in his power to see them succeed.

As Fortune's Favored went about their individual tasks, Malachi took lead in training the militia and Relos assisted as best he could. He gave lessons on pole arm fighting, defensive stances, how to hold a blade, and how to properly throw a spear or javelin. Hours flew by as they worked, but as much as they tried it didn't seem enough. Some how they'd need to teach themselves.

The sun beat down on them as the training concluded, and all the assembled men gave thanks as a clanging signaled something stirring in the village. Relos thought about how he could help out more, and before the assembled militia could depart he approached them, speaking before the group of men.


"You men did well with training, and I'm deeply sorry I cannot stay longer to help train you all. So it is with these that I hope you are able to defend your self, your families, and your livelihood from any more attacks, bandit or otherwise.

Relos grabbed six of his master crafted javelins and laid them at the groups feet.

" I watched many of you throw these with great strength, but you know each other better than I do. I want you to give these to who you think would wield them effectively.

He then unbuckled his scabbard from his sword belt, and held the stiff leather sheath in both hands. His master crafted long sword was a beautiful blade, kept polished to a sheen and cleaned with meticulous care.

This blade goes to the man with the most skill in swordsmanship. I've only seen one day worth of practice from all of you, but in due time if a man shows a talent for the blade, I highly suggest you let him wield this.

He knelt and set the sheathed sword on the javelins, and reached back for one more item. He pulled out two potions wrapped together in a leather bag.

These next few things are for a time that I hope never comes. If you do fight, use these on those that will succumb to their wounds without aid. Two potions that will knit flesh and bone back together in moments.

Relos knelt, leaving the two vials of potion among the equipment. Rising, he begins speaking again.

Now, my last gift to you all is something I value more than these items that lay at my feet. This journal here, this book is a collection of lessons written to me personally from my master, Sir Caiste. Now I know for a fact you all don't need the lesson on being gentlemen, or lessons on proper etiquette, you're all experts on that already. He gave a slight chuckle as he kept speaking. But what I do have is pages of sword play and stance technique, how to use a shield and how to fight for your life. Those you do need. So I gift you these, a way to continue your training as best as I can offer

Relos flipped the book open to somewhere in the middle, a chapter titled Combat & Arms . He reached for the top of the page to begin slowly tearing out the ten page chapter, hesitating only a moment before reassuring himself what he was doing was necessary. Carefully he plucked out each page, using his dagger to slice clean a stubborn page here and there. He reached into his pack, pulling out a thin wire from his jeweler's kit, and poked a hole in the upper left hand corner of the pile of papers with it. He twisted the ends together fastening the pages in order into a packet that hopefully would serve his pupils well enough in the future.

Now those are all the things I have that may help you in your fights ahead. I pray to Gian that your only worry is a good harvest but I would be naive to think only that. I will make it a point to stop through again, and I hope to see all you still here alive and well.

With his closing words Relos steps aside, making his way back towards the village. Whatever excitement was going on had passed, and his only concern was getting back to the Bearded Dragon and getting some semblance of rest.

The next morning he wandered down to breakfast, answering out to the call for ale. "Yeah, why not! I'll have one Argo!.

He sat to breakfast sipping his pale yellow bitter, and listened in on the plans circulating the table. Tales of bandits with death glares, possible whole networks of bandit activity, and a plethora of dangerous situations that could easily arise with any avenue they choose. His companions certainly were wishy washy on what exactly they should do, surely the heroes of Giant's End shouldn't take this long to decide a course of action?

I've listened to a few ideas bouncing around this table, and I for one am not too keen on leaving this village to up and fend for itself. We rattled the cage when we put down so many of Jaron's men and it should be us to clean up what we started. Now, I'm not advocating for a swords out run in smash attack, but I'm absolutely not going to let these men get coaxed into attacking a fortress either. Relos nodded in Calopee's direction, agreeing with her comments.

I'm more akin to her ideas, rooting out what outlying groups may be branched from Jaron himself. Bring low those and maybe we can get the beast to rear its head.

He took a swig from his mug, chasing it with a slice of bread.

Surely a few men playing at war couldn't scare the four of you, not as much as any rampaging giant at least...

( I give 6 Master work javelins, a master work longsword, 2 potions of cure light wounds, and a chapter lesson on combat and weaponry out of Relos's personal journal to the militia.)

So, I have to put this game on Hiatus. I wish I didn't have to but work,college,and starting this kickstarter/business deal I'm doing with a group is really taking up a lot of my time, not even including yet the daily necessities of getting my home back on track.

I apologize to everyone for the few weeks absence. Things got incredibly busy with college mid terms, work, and now I'm actually starting my own business which will eventually go to kick starter.

With everything going on I forgot about the game actually for a week or so, until Silent One politely nudged me on facebook to get my butt moving

So I apologize again and will update within the next few days at the latest. Things have just been crazy here and eventually I hope to show everyone on the inn what i've been working on
