[OOC] D&D 5e - Hoard of the Dragon Queen

[Ryonara]

Oops, a gaff on my part. I'll change it.

[Phoenix]

Hey everyone. Just wanted to let everyone know that I'm still here and eagerly waiting to be introduced in the IC. ^^
I've been keeping up with the IC as well. ;)

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

This is good, @Phoenix. We are in need of another member.

[Hekazu]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity@Ryonara@Lucius Cypher
As nothing decisive has taken place in the IC, I will withhold my reply for now. Feel free to move onward in any way you see fit. Consulting other players OOC is also an option.

[Phoenix]

I'm sure this was stated/addressed earlier, but I just want to make sure: are we to keep the DMRoyale updated as the campaign goes on? For example: adding/removing equipment and items, HP, etc.

[Hekazu]

@Phoenix
The answer would be yes. Helps everyone keep track of things.

[Hekazu]

Actually, about the current in-game situation. The scene is going to see a small change after the next in character post, preferably from @Ryonara, but anyone will do.

@Ryonara@Phoenix@The Harbinger of Ferocity@Lucius Cypher

Hey guys, I'm going to be joining the group as a Dwarf Druid once you guys hit the castle, so I hope to get along with all of you in the future.

[Ryonara]

If nothing else is going to happen, would it be alright for me to say that the group was able to get to the gate of the Keep without any further incident? I'm assuming it's locked so kobolds can't just come in, but I don't think anything else should be stopping us from at least getting that close.

[Hekazu]

@Ryonara
There is a person (the one that is doing something near the bodies) in your way, given how they are rather close to the main gate of the keep. Getting in without any incident is not likely, but you can try the direct approach strategy if you'd like. To move everyone you should probably consult the character's respective players (Trear and the villagers are mostly okay with anything sane you may come up with, but will follow the majority vote).

[Lucius Cypher]

I mean, how in the way is he? I just assumed he was off to the side. Does he have any visible weapons? Armor? Now that the party was closer, could we tell if he's human or something? I'm trying to gauge his danger levels; if he seems dangerous Orchid is going to kill him. If he (And by extension I) can't get a good gauge of his danger levels, I'll kill him just to be safe. If any of the villagers recognize him they might want to speak up, otherwise he's going to get a Harpoon through the gut.

[Hekazu]

@Lucius Cypher
They are on the main road to the keeps gate. It is a bit too dark to make any details out, what with the sun settling down and the smoke dimming things further, but by the time you'd get to the harpoon throwing range there would have been a change in the scene that would probably tell for sure whether they are friend or foe. It would seem that they are carrying some sort of a weapon on their belt, but it is on their obscured side, considering your viewpoint.

[Lucius Cypher]

Orchid does have dark vision you know. Well, if the person is going to be that mysterious, Orchid is going to go in for the kill. Any objections?

[Hekazu]

They are beyond the 60ft. distance as of now, that's why it is hard to see. I must have been to vague with my description earlier, I'll try to step up my game when it comes to that in the future.

The distance they are at is approximately 95ft. from your current position.

[Hekazu]

If nobody has anything to say, I'll assume we are proceeding as Orchid wills it. Expect a post from me tomorrow, if this is the case.

[Ryonara]

Parum doesn't want anyone to get in harms way, but with what you said @Hekazu, she would lead the group around the person. They're too close now for her to try and investigate, and if they wait too long they'll just get attacked again. I'll post soon saying that Parum tries to lead the group around the person and avoid any other kobolds or raiders.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

As for myself with Brannor, @Hekazu, if that person undertakes any overtly hostile action, the arrow's going to be loosed. If they just watch, do not notice, or present themselves as not a threat, then obviously I will not have him take the shot.

[Hekazu]

@The Harbinger of Ferocity@Lucius Cypher@Ryonara
I believe assuming you'd follow the villager's request is not too unreasonable? Welcome to the keep of Greenest, the safest place in town!

@Phoenix@Raijinslayer
And now would be a good time to begin with you as well! I'll contact you via PM and give you each some background on how you ended up in this keep tonight. For sake of convenience, let us assume you saw the party arrive.
