How is the post coming along? Any kind of ETA?

It's gotten started. Not sure how far along I am but I expect to be finished either today or tomorrow. Sorry about the delay.

No trouble, you're not terribly late as far as the presented ideal posting interval for the RP is concerned (at least one new post a week), I just wanted an update both for my peace of mind and for the sake of reassuring everyone that things are still progressing.

At long last Arcturus is released from his stasis of not being written about. Post is up!
I feel a little rusty, but it's nice to get something posted again.

You know, lately I've been considering whether I should try to draw maps of the environments the characters occupy, possibly with a local coordinate system for easy designation of a particular location, just to make it completely clear where what is and such...
What do you think? It'll probably be fairly simple 2D maps, since later on I predict they'll be moving around a lot more. I will be a bit extra work for me, but it might make it easier for everyone to know what is happening and what areas look like.

@DrabberRogue Great post man! Excited for Nigel and Arcturus to meet proper!

@Dark Jack I'm all for some 2D maps, that'd be slick but don't overwork yourself either.

How about something like this:

"Beauty" is definitely more generous than it deserves, but thank you. There's a bunch of details that bother me now, looking at it: the cots not being aligned properly in their rows, the 11 and P coordinates being completely superfluous... It's a first attempt for the starting area, and it probably serves its purpose. Next one will be better.

Does anyone want to sign up for being the next to post?

2D maps sound good to me, always cool to see a visual representation of where we are.

For some reason all this time I'd been imagining the room we woke up in as one really long, narrow area, with one or two rows of the hundred cots set up all along the back wall. The reality seems much more logical now that I see it. xD

I'm diggity-down to go next but I'm gonna wait a bit. Give some time for someone else who hasn't had a chance in a bit to go and I've got some plans tonight so I won't be able to hash out anything real good.

I will probably go next this weekend. I only skipped this one cause Lu was kinda stuck in the inbetween.

EDIT: Didn't like the blue sheen from the glow on everything, so I moved the layer to a lower level. Think it's a little better like this.

Update?

I'll try to get something up tomorrow, sorry for the wait!

Given his background, Ludolf (if he remembers) may recognize the contents of the cabinet as a disassembled equipment for intravenous blood transfusion; essentially, items suited for blood ministration.

Any takers for the next post?

I guess if no one else posts, I can take the next one.

Just to make it clear (possibly reiterate, I'm uncertain whether I've specified this before), none of you should ever feel forced to make "filler" posts just to post something or just because no one else seems to have anything to post. I want your characters (and by extension, you) to drive the plot of the RP (this is their story, after all, whereas I am merely the narrator), but I also realize that all of your characters are currently somewhat lost and unaware of what's going on and probably a bit reliant on Victor for the time being, even though there has been some distrust towards him already.

If ever there is a time when none of you feel like your character has anything worthwhile to add to the situation, just say so and I will have my NPCs do something instead; in this case Victor, despite his newfound interest in keeping your characters compliant, is still primarily concerned with getting Adelicia to safety and wants to get moving; if none of your characters seem to have anything else keeping him there he is going to want to leave.

For that same reason I also highly prefer that you decline posting rather than just keep silent, so that if everyone declines I know to take action as the GM; I only drive the plot when you don't know where to take it.

EDIT: That isn't to say that you're not allowed to make "filler" posts, by the way, just that you aren't expected to do so unless you want to.

Thanks for the heads up on that! I don't think I've made any filler so far but it's good to know it's not an expectation. I don't know about the rest of the group but I'm ready to get a move on towards the Cathedral Ward (unless someone else decides they want to try to make it on our own).

One quick question though (not sure if I should do something IC to check or not) but are there any weapons left in that barrel and if so what are they?
