Personally, I'm very happy to just let this game continue running at a very very lax pace, so long as it's actually continuing.
Every day, I check my games for updates and for games I run, I check to see if everyone's posted a turn and then post myself.
If that takes a while for each of you, that's fine with me. If MW auto-archives the game because none of you posted for a sufficiently long time, then that's fine with me, too. The moment I see that everyone's posted, I'll (try to) get a DM post up.
As for not getting notification, now that you know that something's faulty, check your settings, perhaps contact an admin, and consciously check the game for any new posts just in case the software hasn't notified you. That goes for all you, not just Astonavagatrix. I don't rely on notifications; I go down my list and check each day. Maybe each day is hard for one or more of you--that's fine, but do what you can.
yeah i'm gonna start just opening up the games and double-checking threads myself just in case something in the coding's wonky regardless of settings. also re: the recruiting, maybe we can see if any of the other apps are still interested? we had a decent number of magic types show interest iirc?

“My words,” Set says. | ‘My thoughts,’ Set thinks. | My actions . . .
Well, this is certainly bloody bleak.
Set keeps quiet and to himself mostly, especially once he notes the general air of disquiet in the place. Something about the town is bothering him, but he can't quite place his finger on what it is. When Falken notes that the place is in notably worse condition than it's meant to be, he finally figures it out.
It feels like a trap.
He can't just outright say as much though, and so settles for slinking around the edges of buildings, keeping eyes on the rest and making sure nothing sneaks up on them from places they aren't watching. Easier said than done in such an empty, desolate place, but he does his best.OOC

Thanks to Neopopulas, astronavigatrix and FelixFaust for replying. And a major thanks to Anthr4xus for rescuing a game started by someone else.
It's possible that the other players haven't yet read those posts due to the chocolate-egg laying bunny holiday, but for everyone one else, please at least let us know (either here or in a PM to Anthr4xus) if you're no longer interested in this game.
Assuming there's still only 4 players left, I'm still interested in continuing.
- Setare: rogue, Soulknife
- Amelia: fighter (ranged), ???
- Kain: fighter (melee), Eldritch Knight
- Karlov: cleric, Grave
- Falken: fighter (ranged), Eldritch Knight
That does make us a bit weak in the magic department. If that's acceptable, I'd be willing to remake Falken into a Ranger to diversify the eventual spell list - I've been thinking lately that the Ranger class would actually fit better how I've been playing him. If that's not acceptable, it's fine - I'll have to decide if I'm still going for Eldritch Knight, or maybe multiclass into Ranger? In any case, I'm all for fast-forwarding both groups to Silbervas.
@FelixFaust in group 1, I've inadvertently made Falken the "leader", even though I (the player) have no knowledge of the setting. I'm hoping Anthr4xus has something planned to push us beyond that, because I have no clue what to do next! :) I've always been under the impression that people don't like having a group leader, but I can see your point.
I had considered having Set multiclass into a stars druid for a little bit more HP/utility, and while it's not as big as something like sorcerer or wizard, I feel it could be at least a little useful but that won't be for... several levels so in the interim we are a little lacking.

I don't mind if the posting rate picks up, but it does feel like a lot of folks just kind of died off suddenly. Granted I have my spans of being slower than average, but I'm still very much interested.

Rani will immediately bring the scarecrow to the others for investigation once I finish up her next post
(fiddlesticks is that you-)and then we can figure out who would be the most useful for rolls in other situations/missions and try and coordinate with that? Or however people wanna do the simultaneous mission shenanigans. -

“My words,” Set says. | ‘My thoughts,’ Set thinks. | My actions . . .
Hearing the way the supposed 'soldiers' speak turns Set's stomach. He's well aware that the abuse of power is hardly limited to Drow, but to this extent and in such flagrantly vile ways... were he a more righteous man, he might consider slitting the throats of those particular men in the night, had he the opportunity. And strange as it feels to agree with a religious type, he can't help but nod his agreement at Karlov's assessment, lip curling in disgust.
"Least I won't be hesitating if we end up having to fight any of them. Considering the way they talk, their behavior's probably the standard." He follows back toward the road, slowly, carefully, mindful not to make any noise that might be loud enough to be heard by the riders. "I know we weren't planning on running into them, but maybe actively avoiding them and anywhere they might be would be the smart thing to do."

When negotiations finish, Set offers the retreating Visani a cordial smile. Internally, however, he's making note (which he will later make physically) of all the little tidbits revealed by them and his companions over the last brief while. While he has to sort the detritus from the important bits in the process, knowledge is a valuable thing- especially when it comes to people's motivations.
His own, he likes to think, are relatively simple.
So simple in fact, that when Falken reveals the 'punishment' for crimes- including refusal to be conscripted- he has to force the blood not to drain from his already pale face.
"Yes, well, as much as I'm sure the Talons have only the best of people's interests at heart..." He doesn't, and the frank acidity in his voice says as much. "I won't be attempting to test that theory either." Following suit with the others, he ducks into the woods, hoping none of the soldiers have the ability to see through the trees better from their higher vantage point on horseback.

Personal Notes-
(Set, as a matter of course, likes to be able to keep track of things that are important- or things he can use in his favor in the future. While his notes are probably less concisely organized, he's trying to make sure he doesn't bother with anything superfluous.)

Guiding BoltCasting Time: 1 action
Range: 120 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 round
A flash of light streaks toward a creature of your choice within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target.

CeremonyCasting Time: 1 hour
Range: Touch

Duration: Instantaneous (see below)
You perform one of several religious ceremonies. When you cast the spell, choose one of the following ceremonies, the target of which must be within 10 feet of you throughout the casting.
Atonement. You touch one willing creature whose alignment has changed, and you make a DC 20 Wisdom (Insight) check. On a successful check, you restore the target to its original alignment.
Bless Water. You touch one vial of water and cause it to become holy water.
Coming of Age. You touch one humanoid who is a young adult. For the next 24 hours, whenever the target makes an ability check, it can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the ability check. A creature can benefit from this rite only once.

Funeral Rite. You touch one corpse, and for the next 7 days, the target can’t become undead by any means short of a Wish spell.
Investiture (UA). You touch one willing humanoid. Choose one 1st-level spell you have prepared and expend a spell slot and any material components as if you were casting that spell. The spell has no effect. Instead, the target can cast this spell once without having to expend a spell slot or use material components. If the target doesn’t cast the spell within 1 hour, the invested spell is lost.
Wedding. You touch adult humanoids willing to be bonded together in marriage. For the next 7 days, each target gains a +2 bonus to AC while they are within 30 feet of each other. A creature can benefit from this rite again only if widowed.Aid

...god, math people are so cool.

I think Rani would be best suited for the Emerald Enclave or the Harpers, though either organization would have a time convincing her... though all things considered maybe having some people who can keep eyes out on her behalf as well would be helpful too.

"Braver man than I," the rogue mumbles, "but more ridiculous too." Then, much louder so the other can hear- "Come on, Karlov- you'll do none of us any good if you're overrun. Save your God's graces for when they're sure to be effective."
He follows behind the rest down into the cellar then- he has no issue with running away from trouble, after all. Once belowground, he feels a bit more... at home, for lack of a better word. Though, admittedly, he has to slouch a bit more than he'd like to not smack his head into the top of the corridor.
