D&D Jay's Game - No Pants Day is Thursday
Recordings will be up soon. I decided to break it up for easier casual listening, kind of like the PA podcasts. First is 40 minutes, next is 23, next is around 50 minutes, and the next is almost an hour. And I edited them to cut silences. There'll be a description so you know what's what, but no detailed summary like Gusto should be providing.

001 - Harold's Heroes
Strangers meet in the tavern The Hairy Lemon, and Harold has a few words for them--though maybe not as many words as Falagar the Great. (Note: Doom's story has been added in here where I felt it was appropriate.)
002 - The Speaker Speaks
The strangers meet the speaker, and Rathkor goes shopping.
003 - The Docks
In which the group finds many strange things, like a desk that fights back.
004 - Caught in the Act
Okay, enough fooling around! The group finds a disturbance at the wharf and are set upon by the foulest of creatures who aren't Falagar.

I don't think you need to post dialogue itself; just get a decent summation of events so in reading it later, we'd remember what matters. NPC convos, for example. You could probably skip the shopping entirely, and get down to the basics with the warehouse. If someone wants a transcript, they have the recordings.

Falagar's summary:
Met a bunch of rubes down at the pub. Bar wench was totally into me. Hilarious dwarf told some awesome jokes. "Why do elves have pointy ears? ... There's gotta be some sharpness to elves, right?" Hahaha! Or, something like that anyway.
Bartender told me to talk to the speaker, and convinced me to take some protege`s. When we got there I saw that the Speaker was a skilled Mage Bear slayer. Had one's skin lying right in the room. The sheer audacity of the man! He earned my respect immediately. Anyway, he said some blather about assassins and warehouses and disappearances. It seemed like the perfect time to save the day, so I readily volunteered my help.
Getting to the docks, I admired the perfect curvature of my nose in the water, then went about investigating. My hirelings looked up to me to do all the dirty work, so I abliged. The first warehouse was empty, save for the stuffed carcass of a dire bear. How it got there, I don't know. It intrigued me, but more imortant things were at hand. A second warehouse had a peculiar little chair guarded by a magical desk. My moderately dense cohorts couldn't figure it out, so after a heavy sigh I went over and showed them how it was done. Out of the chair popped a Polyglot gem. The dragon man in my group deigned it his right to pick the thing up, even though he didn't have a clue what it was. Even after I graciously told him what it was and that it contained the Gobin language, he decided to keep it. The ingrate.
While invesigating some more, we were ambushed by a pack of assassins! There were at least 20 of them, I took them out handily, of course. Fools didn't even lay a hand on me!
After the fight, we came upon a tower that was only two stories high. My sharp intellect immediately realized it had to be an earth tower-- a tower that's only tall (and thus, a tower) by going into the earth. My nooblet adventure team shunned me. I had the last laugh, however, when we found a secret passage underground in the basement.
Don't question the mighty Falagar!

D&D Jay's Game - No Pants Day is Thursday
Session 1: The Party Meets in a Tavern
The game begins with Falagar regaling a bar of weary travelers with the story of how he came across his ooze companion Bloby. While the serving wenches are distracted from their duties with this tale of magic and heroism, the noble Helga Stormfist is fending off the sloppy and often racist advances of a crude dwarf man, young Rakthor is asking all other patrons about the whereabouts of his master, and Tyrdin is trying to keep to himself and enjoy a quiet meal.
Soon after Falagar ends his tale and Helga receives a mysterious letter from the rude dwarf, Harold, the owner and proprietor of the Hairy Lemon, suggests that the mighty Falagar and any other heroes looking to save some lives and earn some gold should investigate a strange rash of disappearances and smugglings that are happening in the small port town of Dougan's Hole. He directs them to the Speaker's domicile, where they meet Malren, the city's de facto leader.
Helga and Falagar announce their intentions to work for the Speaker, and bear witness to an argument between the Speaker and his captain of the militia, a young woman named Theldara. She argued that every other adventurer who thought they could get to the bottom of these disappearances had ALSO disappeared, and that the militia should be left to investigate it without interlopers. Tyrdin muttered that the militia hadn't done a great job so far either, and this caused her to make some racist remarks and storm off. Malren resigned to hire the party and said that they should look down around the docks, an area that Tyrdin knew very well.
After gathering some necessary supplies, the party ventured to the docks and arrived shortly after the day's work had ended, at dusk. The area was completely vacated and the party was free to investigate crates and warehouses in search of clues. Breaking into one warehouse netted them nothing of value or any information, but the next warehouse had been partially emptied recently, so they decided to look closer. Breaking into the warehouses administrative offices, Helga set off an alarm that was quickly silenced by the business end of her hammer. Looking around the office, Helga was able to find a mysterious shipping invoice from another warehouse, stating that a order was due to be shipped from their in a couple weeks, but not what the items were. Remembering the mysterious letter she had read, it seemed likely to her that that "shipment" was going to go missing before those weeks were up, possibly even tonight. While she was puzzling this out, Falagar and Tyrdin were able to find a magical gem that had been hidden in the arm of the deskchair, unlocked by the enchanted drawers of the desk if opened in the proper order. Given Helga's new suspicions, the group headed towards the suspicious warehouse.
Upon arriving at the warehouse and beginning to investigate, the group was ambushed by a gang of thugs. After managing to defeat these attackers using a combination of attacks, magic, and broken glass, the group has decided to search the warehouse and the tower from which their attackers came.

D&D Jay's Game - No Pants Day is Thursday
I hate to be Doomdragon--I mean, Deschain--I mean, Kratash...
I'm gonna be late tomorrow. We have a lot of shit going on right now with our trip on Friday, other plans getting crunched together, and then I may be late in Shawn's game next Thursday (hope not, but don't know--I fortunately have a half-day at work that week), due to another trip that weekend, so... I expect to be on by 8:30. PLEASE have the game; I want to be able to hop on and join in when I can, and I want you guys to keep playing, because I don't want this to turn into the last couple Dougan's Holes. It's just a crazy couple of weekends right now.
On an aside, I believe Julie's going to try calling Shawn--no promises; we're busy getting stuff situated here. Hopefully he's heard from on here before that.
EDIT: And please hope that we have electricity. :/

I'll be heading out soon after Julie gets here, might be putting things away and packing on game, but I am paying attention.
I'll be leaving Vent on and recording so I don't miss anything (I'll listen on the way up to NY tomorrow)... no one treat that as an invitation to be retards.
Usually when people will be late or absent they provide no explanation, leaving it to the poor DM. Tyrdin will see the area they're descending into and decide to stand watch for now to be sure no militia show up and get in the way, with the intention of catching up soon. He may be coping with not wanting to go into a dark place though--he won't tell the others, of course.

Jay, I'm interested in switching from a Heavy Shield to a Light Shield. I don't have to make the change right now since we're in the middle of an adventure but if you plan on giving any heavy shields as loot in the near future, I'd prefer they be light.
Thanks.
I don't know what I was thinking.

The interesting thing is that roleplay-wise, Helga's preconceptions of devil-men were proven somewhat faulty over the last two sessions, seeing Tyrdin as someone she can trust in the heat of battle.
Rathkor, however, has only diminished her view of the savage dragon-men even further. She, so far, has no reason to trust him.
And you guys know that I love to take my roleplay into combat.

D&D Jay's Game - I Cast Blazing Starfall...
Yeah, I hadn't been taking combat into RP so much in games because we can't control dice rolls, only really considering any of it as Errik blasting Grendmir with permission and owing him drinks later, but I think here I will start taking that RP into account, such as when I chose to save Helga from a bat instead of Rathkor.
That said, Tyrdin's not going to take Rathkor as malicious, just... of ilk to Falagar.

Rathkor isn't evil, just really new to magic, as well as real combat situations. Since he mostly did 1-on-1 sparring, he's more familiar with Acid Orb than he is with Blazing Starfall. That's what happened.

Sorry for jumping out like that, folks. I feel bad about it, but I just had a huge sudden onset of, err.. intestinal troubles. After 'taking care' of a few things, I didn't feel up to RPing or being able to keep up, nor stray too far from the throne. I blame the burrito.
Anywae, apologies all round, sounds like it was a fun session, looking forward to the next one.

It was an excellent session that could have benefited from a controller's powers. But your loudmouthed RP would probably have made things much much worse.
---------- Post added at 08:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 AM ----------
Also, bringing RP into combat makes combat a lot more interesting, especially when the Party has a little Discord, if you know what I mean.
I've detailed before that Errik's list of of priorities in combat goes something like this.
1) Protecting himself.
2) Protecting Adia.
3) Increasing chance-to-hit as much as possible,usually by targeting as many enemies as possible.
4) Dealing as much damage as possible, usually spread between multiple targets or involving environmental damage.
5) Protecting everyone else, where applicable.
