I was about to say that myself. I'd give it a week maybe? Are we still opposed to keeping in touch on discord too? I think I suggested this before?

Getting the feeling after the hiatus that a re-recruitment is needed. Games that have long breaks and slow pace tend to need to do this. :(

"Ok, next.. brush your teeth, then find your second best hairclip, after that make sure your skirt is pleated, follow this braid your hair.. got to be presentable in a fight. ", he remarks, voice dripping with sarcasm, all while grinning evilly. Mind you it was easy for Haughaloogie, everything he needed for combat or a quick getaway was already on his metal construct mount. The only thing he's had to do was shrug his chain shirt over his head and tighten a belt around it. "Ok, strike that. Let's just go slake some bloodlust after the most boring party ever." He looks around to see if Blake, Druknar, Davos were still snoring. Reagents Peshpine Grenade 1 Lesser Elixir of Life 1 Tanglefoot Grenade 1 Alchemist's Fire 2

Are we using Roll20 for maps.. something I highly recommend, or is there some other graphic presentation package?

Synthy would jump awake. Looking to her sword, she'd work on multitasking, wrapping a silk wrap round her waist for modesty, strapping into her boots, her belt, scabbard, and sword securing her knee length skirt to her waist tied over her mail shirt. She'd splash water in her face and storm out of her room. Demanding who would be so bold as to make these life choices.

Swearing like a sailor, he farts a couple of times, having only partially digested the monstrous amounts of free food that had been on offer. As Gizmo, Loogie's metal construct creature, pads towards the sound of screaming, irritated goblin on his back, Loogie is still shrugging his chainmail shirt over his head. "Least it's not waking up due to a full bladder.", he grumbles. Reagents Peshpine Grenade 1 Lesser Elixir of Life 1 Tanglefoot Grenade 1 Alchemist's Fire 2

Lady aldori nods at Haughaloogie and gives him a smile. "You'll set off in the morning as I finish up as I give out assignments. Tonight I shall allow your groups to stay and sleep." The rest of the night is spent being merry and drinking and enjoying food. After being escorted to a large form style room. You sleep.. However sometime I. The middle of the night. Screams are heard and the indistinguishable smell of burning can be smell from outside.

Don't worry. I meant to post earlier but I worked a double and my hour nap turned into a six hour nap

I too have just started recovering from that savage cold running around lately. Just absolutely laid me out. I saw the attempts to kick things back into being active lately and I just dead eyed stared before forgetting all about it. Sorry about that.

You are correct. When I get off work I'll send us tor he next scene

Posted again, in a bid to kick this game out of the coma it's in. Suggested we move on from the shindig to actual adventuring. A combat scene would do wonders for pacing at this point.

He then turns to their host.."Begging your pardon, yer Grace, but I'd rather be on my way to the Stolen Lands, wanting to claim it before anyone else can steal it.", he says as smoothly as he's able. "There'll be ample time for chatting each other up on the road." All this is said, while the little goblin sits atop his construct mount.

Well like Jack Burton says .. "I was born ready." Just wondering if we'll make it past dinner in the course of 2024. ;)

Alright now that everything is back to normal yall ready to continue?

And a Merry Christmas to you too.

Merry Christmas.

Nope I must have missed that and my bad

Kinda. Those two skills can be used on every npc but also each one has special skills that can be used on them

Yearp, I thought it was something to do with persuasion and intimidation.

I am not familiar. A link would be great.

I tried it with the knights, but this seemed to produce no results. I assumed they ignored me.

Does everyone know how to influence npcs or will I need to link it
