Oh that's right. Hmm, makes it a bit more iffy to toss then. It's likely to shatter and break, yeah?

I think most or all of us are now free of the bridge?

Okay so Gern and money lender in parallel in the morning, then to 12?

That's what I'll assume unless I hear otherwise.

Since the team is doing a touch of stuff before we adventure, can we have Cyrus also head to the bowyer? (unless you're already doing your posts) I want to ask IC about prices on a custom bow and then we can head out for the day. :)

I am down with opening the coffin; however I had an idea; we have oil, maybe Flickwit can douse her with oil and someone lights her on fire?

We lit a torch for our Humans to see with, right? I'm trying to act as a blockade to the cavern so whomever comes down the hall will be stuck in the difficult sand. I'd rather have my axe ready so I think maybe Shaun or Novia would be better tossing the fire after your oil.

*Momentum - I'll also open up and say that I'm struggling to keep track of the game. I can't check it every day and when I do it either hasn't moved (loose interest) or its moved at a great pace. It makes it difficult to keep continuity as a contributing player. As I might have been waiting for others to respond but then find things have either still not moved, or have moved so much that what I was going to do/say/contribute becomes mute. I learning that maybe this is just what PbP is like. Maybe I need to figure out a routine of checking to try and stay on top of things.

That's partially my fault. There are times where I'm feeling amped up and very creative and want to post. Other times I've been drained of all my passion and I just wanna be a melty puddle. It sucks for my consistency in posting, especially when I'm falling out of love with the game system.

I feel like my tendency to infodump with huge posts is a detriment. It's very hard for me to maintain a balance between pertinent info and extraneous world-building.

PbP is difficult. It's not a perfect solution for getting people together to share in a game. The flexible schedule and not being an awkward mess in front of people is a nice draw. I've actually been considering trying to move some of my games onto real-time Discord stuff or whatever. But that's neither here nor there.

Can Jal 'help' Nina's roll? and keep the mind trick as a last resort or does it need to happen simultaneously?

I try not to think of scenes being driven by a single character; everyone in the scene can contribute. You can absolutely help, especially in a conversation. Since Nina is the initial roller, you can take the Aid Another action; just make the same check but at a DC 10 and it'll grant a +2 bonus.

We can keep the Mind Trick for a last resort reaction.

Serpe's words made much sense to Cyrus, so much so he raised his mug of ale. "Here, here," he said. "Already seen plenty of darkness out there, we don't need to be inviting it in..."

Kessra snorted a laugh, inciting the others to hoot and hollar. "Percentage? The whole thing. But it's funny you think I take orders from him." She shook her head. "Ain't like that. We're, uh, contractors," she added with a stupid grin. "But that's not your business. Say, what're you doin' out of the slave pens anyways? Try and take the Twi'lek alive!" she added, yelling to her men at the end.

Hopping on her swoop bike and starting it with the same downward momentum, Kessra looked at Nina again. "Unless I misread this, and you plan to pay up...?" Her rifle was still lazily aimed at the group.

I have a bad feeling I'm about to lose 2 more PCs...

Open the door.

XP BONUS: +125xp for returning the body of the scorpion victim

XP AWARD: +250xp for the Gern job

 

These are group awards, so divide by 7. Don't forget the human bonus.

Thanks! I'll get the xp thread updated in a sec. Oh boy, mobile phones......👿

Sounds like a good plan. If i recall, Val isn't terrible at stealth but I'm willing to go wherever. I don't have any sneak attack.

I think Karg is mistakenly thinking we wouldn't return to him without having freed Gern? (I think that's what the GM note is implying)

I've tried to run PbtA games a few times now with very little success. I recently watched a couple of live play sessions and realized i want giving players options... Oops.

That said, I'm always interested to see how other people run a game like that! And i think i have Root too. Would be a good excuse to use the book lol. Plus who doesn't like to rp little woodsy critters? 💜

Give me a sandbox with mini-plots!

I'm sooooo tired of "epic" stories where no one else in the world can get stuff done. That's heckin' boring.

Your logic seems sound to me but I'm not the one resting.

@Malkavian Grin you’d have to RP it. He’s got any normal archery gear you’d need.

Gotcha. I'll get around to that eventually, then. I'm not in a hurry and probably don't have the cash anyways.
