I'm getting my post up soon. Hopefully I dont tick people off with my post haha

So if I'm not mistaken it's Jacob and Geoff to go investigate, with Dax looking for a vantage point and using his spyglass to look around? Xana, Damian, Clary (and Silinrul) remaining in the pavilion with the cleric?

Still waiting for one more post (cdnflirt) but its only Sunday so I expect we'll be good for my next narrative by the middle of the week.

Although I'm still curious about Dax's best guess about when the rain might fall. He might have pushed to go with if he thought there was time.

I have PM'd you regarding that question :-)

A few things:

1) It's come up several times now that I should post weekly updates, rather than just whenever I get a post from everyone. Our game is still in its infancy, and a regular update from the DM could go a long way to keeping it afloat.

2) My next update will be on Wednesday, unless cdnflirt posts tonight in which case I'll have one up tomorrow. After that, I will post a small update on Sunday - this is to get us onto a weekend schedule, which is easier for me.

3) I will be going on vacation from the 19th to the 27th - I will likely be able to respond to PMs, however I may not have the time to do more than that. With the updates on a weekend schedule, my trip to Oregon should have a minimal impact on the game.

Short post up. Will elaborate once we get back to the group.

*evaporates*

And this is why I wanted to go get garrett and not shout out to him for him to return.

thought: If they are moving at typical medium creature base speed of 3 miles per hour, 2 miles = 40 minutes.

Geoff and Jackob were 15 minutes away at the sight, but I am hoping Jackob approves of running at x4 speed, which I have been informed by Schnozz that it is the same as a 4 minute mile.

Now doing the math in my ead, 15 minutes of walking = 3/4 mile; moving at x4 speed would take 45 seconds to do this . . .

HOWEVER, and there is ALWAYS a however,

Schnozzle did the rolls already and it will be slower then 45 seconds.

So, what is this shelter we are in like? Big enough for a couple of dozen and made from the remnants of old boats is about all we know. Not solid enough to provide much protection it seems.

Would it be hard to break into?
Is there more than one door?
What side are the entrances on? (Speicifcally, are they on the South side where the stranges are coming from?
Windows or gaps of any sort to look out of?
Is there anything in it?

Basically, what sort of setting are we looking at in case this turns into a fight?

and if it matters, Daxos, who is short anyway, is trying to keep a low profile on the roof so as not to be spotted from a distance.

I assumed the journey as a 15 minute hustle, which is already x2 standard speed meaning 600 feet per minute. This makes the distance 9000 feet or 1.7 miles.

Running all the way back at x4 would mean you could make back it in half the time. However, you simply can't keep up that pace for very long - you can run a number of rounds equal to your constitution score.

You can make a CON check DC 10 to keep running, +1 DC for each time you have done this already. So, for a CON score of 10 you can run for one minute without stopping - 1200 feet. This means you would have to make 7.5 (Round to 7 because I'm nice) CON checks increasing from DC10 to DC16.

Obviously for higher CON scores you could make it a little longer. Scott, your character has a CON of 12, meaning he needed to successfully make 6.25 (round to 6) checks to make it back in 7:30. You failed two rolls including your final roll, and I added a minute for each rest, plus I assumed you would simply hustle the remainder of the way after your last fail. This works out to approximately 10 minutes.


I hope that clarifies things for everyone. Father Tolly's spell is still active. If you guys think it wise, he will make some noise to get the Jacob and Geoff's attention.

I sincerely apologise if anything I say or have said about the setting so far lacks clarity. This is my first play by post game that I have DM'd, so feedback good or bad is truly appreciated.


>>So, what is this shelter we are in like?
The pavilion is open on three sides, made from a single old boat. Essentially it is a boat flipped upside down and propped up on one end.

There are three rooms at the back of the pavilion that aren't really rooms, just privacy walls opening into the main

>>Would it be hard to break into?
It's open on three sides.

>>Is there more than one door?
There are zero doors.

>>What side are the entrances on?
The closed off side is to the northeast.

>>Windows or gaps of any sort to look out of?
That's nearly all there is. The latrine is at the rear of the hull and is vented, but has a leather window cover in case of night use.

>>Is there anything in it?
One of the rooms is a latrine. There is a clear firepit that has been used many times.


>>Basically, what sort of setting are we looking at in case this turns into a fight?
I will draw a map tonight.

>> Low profile.
I'll note that.

Don't worry about the missing info.

You can't possibly know ahead of time what we are going to ask. If it seems like something we would notice, tell us. Otherwise leave it up to us to ask. This is the same give and take that you would get table-top, it just requires posts. No biggie. Interesting so far.

A Map!

so basically a lean-to made from the hull of a ship

It would be fair to say that, yes. I've never seen one this size, but the concept is close enough.

Thank you. That is what I thought from your previous descriptions, but none the less the clarification is greatly appreciated. And the map, sooooo many thank yous!
