This might be a good time to re-bring up that everyone should send Shawn their numbers or something.

You can listen to the previous game while playing tomorrow night's. It'll be like time travel.

Very brief summary:

Saryon left us to pursue Yorek and Mort.
We got to Astrazyaliomalox...ian. It's basically a beautiful city on the far side of a lake on the far side of the flea market of scum and villainy. We went through the flea market buying some stuff, although the place seemed to be packing up, what with the breathtaking elven home disappearing in a week. We stopped at an inn trying to stiff us for the single, when a bird-man known as a cankoo offered to pay our night.
Next day, we learned that he belonged to a crime family aware of Errik Loreno's presence. They questioned him a bit, he convinced them it was personal, non-family business bringing him to this place, and they sent us along.
In the gorgeous, heavenly city of the elves and eladrin, we did a bit of trickery with Serin that ultimately wasn't very useful. We had to reveal Sir Orin (that the name?)'s special metal thingy.

They took us to the woman we were supposed to find who had battled Assrack previously, only she and her whole room were locked in necrotic ice that burned everybody but Adia. We also found a cankoo frozen in the lady's wardrobe, and I presume the necrotic ice did not pour forth from Narnia. Last of the un-fun surprises was finding another doppleganger locked in the prison.
DUN DUN DUN. He was Serin's cousin Bertreau (sp?), responsible for killing their whole family, and hunted by Adia as well for information on the disappearance of hers. He was here in the god-like city of pretty to steal an orb from an elven/eladrin general that supposedly could take you to another plane of existence (other than the Shadowfel).

We left off going back to the flea market to confront the cankoo on why one of their number was found frozen in the elven lady's wardrobe, suspecting a possibly assassination attempt that did not take the cankoo's life into account.

Hm.

Basically we need to go investigate what the Kenku can tell us. I'll try to get a conversation with Cooper alone, but I dunno if he's gonna be down for that...

If it gets to a situation where all 5 of us need to meet with the whole Kenku gang like last time, I have a setup I wanna try just in case shit gets real, which it is almost sure to after I accuse them of attempting to assassinate the woman we are trying to talk to, as well as other Council members.

I would LOVE to get through this confrontation without a fight but I don't know if I can count on it.

So here's Errik's plan for the split up.

Last time we met these kenku, there were a couple of them stand guard outside of the building, with a bunch more inside. The setup I devised is created to aid in the social half of it, and also conveniently set up for the possibility of a gang war.

Errik, Serin and Grendmir will go inside the building, and Adia and Kratash will stand guard outside.

The Inside Team will do their best to keep level heads (no offense, Outside Team) and Errik and Serin are possibly the world's greatest fast-talkin' team. Grendmir will be there for protection and also physical intimidation. The idea here is that if we can't end the situation amicably, Serin and I won't be total pincushions, and can try to raise a lot of ruckus with AoEs in a tight area.

The Outside Team (namely Adia) will be keeping an ear on the situation inside. If shit seems like it's getting hectic, and especially if the guards outside become alerted, Adia will run inside and assist the Inside Team with the main enemy force, while Kratash will use his body to block the door, and fight the reinforcements outside. Ideally, Kratash and Adia will stay back-to-back in the doorway so that neither of them will be particularly vulnerable to the sides they aren't paying attention to.

What do you think? I'm pretty proud of this plan. :)

Sounds good.

I'm glad my fake numbers can back up what I say. I'm not nearly sociable enough to pull off Serin's charisma.

I like the plan.

I also like the character situation it presents, where Adia and Kratash, often at odds with each other, are forced to trust and defend each other.

It shouldn't be hard for Adia to get along with someone who doesn't show up.

OOOOoooooooooh damn!!

Edit: Oh shit, he's here early.

... WAY TO KILL THE JOKE, GURP

I have to admit, I really like having Thundering Gust now. :rofl:

For once, one of my plans finally worked perfectly. Guy goes in the pit, one in the slime. Bwa ha ha!

And acid resistance saved me AGAIN!

Woot.

I like being in a "dungeon" again. I'm excited to see where both the big double doors and the tiny passage goes.

Fun times all 'round!

Julie, how's your character reworking feel?

Argh! Excited!

I do realize that maybe we should try talking to these people before murdering them all.

Also granted, they should stop being jackasses. :D

Also, I noticed that we've been stopping at around 9:30 central our past few sessions. Is this going to be our usual? Cuz I think we used to go on to 10:30-11 before.

I have to stop talking out loud at 9C and it is a pain in the assssss. That's basically when/why I run out of steam.

Get a laptop and go outside. >=P

Alternatively, talk way lower and we can turn your mic volume up on our end?

So.

Through the doors, or down the small path?

The doors indicate importance. But if playing video games has taught me anything, going down the side paths gets you cool stuff!

As long as it's not me, I vote small path too!

I'd offer to shape-change and scout, but that hasn't worked too well recently.

So Thursday is coming up. From the sounds of it the team has decided to investigate the area of the dungeon that even Cooper and his crew have avoided, based on the weird feeling that Adia is getting.

Also, I know I said that next Thursday (the 8th) there wasn't going to be a game, but I am changing dates of my vacation and I will be available after all. Unless someone has made other plans we can still game that week.

Lol, shit. I have made plans on the 8th. It was coincidentally the night that my girlfriend and I are celebrating an anniversary. Among other things.

*cough*

Yeah I'm gonna have to sit next week out.

*gives plenty of advance notice*

While I do appreciate the advanced notice I think it's only fair to ask if you would like us to cancel the game for that day so you don't miss out.
I did announce that I'd be unable to run the game that day, so it's not fair of me to change my mind and expect that no one made alternate plans.

This is an open discussion so all opinions are welcome.

Cancelling's fine with me. Depending on where this goes, Errik might still be kind of essential to what we do, but it does look like Adia's gonna be the important one here.

Up to [STRIKE]Errik[/STRIKE]. Gusto :D (I keep doing that.)

I like to try and give everyone a moment of the spotlight, even in times when it seems like one character might be more important than the other. Everyone seemed to be making assumptions that Alderbrush is linked to Adia for instance...
And yet Errik and Serin have also had some background specific events happen in the last 24 hours. I also have some things for Kratash and Grendmir in the near future.

Oh yeah, of course. :D Just saying, like, if we 'free' Alderbrush and she's Adia's "counterpart" and Julie weren't there, it'd be a bigger problem.

I am really liking the focus on everyone. I get slightly flustered when story events focus on Serin, however, cuz I'm not very good at progressing the story and half the time I say something that doesn't even make sense.

"I'm not letting this person that's in a jail cell out of my sight!" :facepalm:

Hey Aldarbrush was a sorceress wasn't she? I assumed she had ties to Serin. But Adia seems to be the one getting all the "feelings".

You guys don't have to cancel the night on my account, if you don't want to, but I did make other plans based on the idea that Shawn would be unavailable. If anyone else is absent *coughGurplecough* or if my character's presence is necessary, go ahead and shut 'er down.

I say we cancel it for that week. Errik has been essential for this storyline, and if he were gone two weeks, I'd say only cancel one, but since it's just one, I say we can miss a week and it's okay. Might give Gurpel a chance to find out what month to turn his calendar to and what time zone he lives in.

I was thinking about doing something a bit different for tonight's game.
How would people be up for a puzzle solving adventure opposed and little to no combat?
