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

[Hekazu]

Does Torus have enough time to exchange verbosities with the Father before taking a much needed long rest?

@Gordian Nought

Long rest? Oh, the final surprise will be here faster than that. Besides, not the whole long rest needs to be sleeping, one can easily have a discussion during one.

[Lucius Cypher]

Hmm. We already spent our short rest time. I guess Orchid would just try to patch up his wounds or something and get some rest before the next job.

@Hekazu

Ooooohhh! I misread the last stanza of your IC post.

I love it!

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

I will see to getting a reply out in the morning, given that a day has passed.

[Hekazu]

Anyone else want to post something before I have Falconmoon approach Torus?

[Lucius Cypher]

I'll mostly just post Orchid resting in the keep of that's fine with you. Eating, snoozing, and maybe even working in that drake hide some more.

@Lucius Cypher

Yeah, that sounds good and Orchid-like. Feel free to.

[Norschtalen]

Hmm. I was actually thinking of getting some more rescue operations done. Now that we have a reliable way in and out of the keep, I figured Kyra would want to keep saving as many people as she can. She'll have to be stealthy of course, solid snake style. This might also help her gain her ranger experience.

@Norschtalen

You are free to request authorisation from the higher ups of the keep or just try to barge through the guarded sewer tunnel doors. You might also want to try and talk other people into joining you before you go anywhere though. It's a miniature warzone out there.

[Norschtalen]

Yeah. Maybe Orchid would be interested? I need someone who's stealthy anyways.

How about it @Lucius Cypher? Want to run some more stealth missions?

[Lucius Cypher]

Hmm. Sure, why not. Just let me post a lil something first since it's been a while since I've posted anything.

[Hekazu]

@Norschtalen
Lucius has posted, so if you'd like to go ahead, feel free to.

@Gordian Nought
I've been drafting up a post for the discussion between Torus and Falconmoon, but have also thought it might still be too little time since my last post. I am probably wrong though so I'll get to it ASAP.

@Hekazu

I can also help facilitate this meeting of the minds. It may fit Torus' IC better. Either way, the schizophrenic pirate will be ready. :)

[Gordian Nought]

Posted. Not that a disclaimer is needed, but for those who wonder.

Apologies for the persistently weird delivery of Torus in the IC, in both scintillating syntax and enigmatic discourse. It is all intentional, I assure you. Just simply trying to match the style of writing with his backstory, of a cruel psionic poet possessing a pirate weed wizard. :)

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

I have to admit, it was unexpected, @Gordian Nought. There is undoubtedly room for conversation regarding it like this brief period of calm. I am curious how Father Falconmoon will react to all of it, even if a fair amount is curbed by the presence trying to avoid being singled out. That said, out of character I will be watching.

[Gordian Nought]

Cool! Should have post up by tonight or tomorrow!

EDIT:
Phew! Hope I didn't disappoint, too much. Forgive, though, the flamboyant color scheme. I also subtly referenced different spells in the Flashback. I know it's daunting and confusing, including a real chess match. I can clarify with a mechanics tab for any and all those interested.

As you can tell Torus is seeking for not only a conversion but for any help! Greater Restoration, confession, forgiveness, and/or a mere absolution rite? Anything. The aim is to foreshadow and prepare his backstory for a multiclass dip into a Tempest Cleric 1 at the dénouement of this encounter, at our hopeful next level.

Just in case. For your reference: Mind Seed.

[Norschtalen]

I'm working on a collab with Lucius between Kyra and Orchid!

@Hekazu Would there be any problems as Kyra and Orchid tries to go out and find that prisoner to interrogate? I know it shouldn't be easy, but would anyone try to stop them before they leave?

@Norschtalen

The guards at the lower door have strict instructions to not let anyone from the inside pass unless notified otherwise in order to reduce the risk of spying and/or selling out. Of course, this is not public knowledge, but so the thing is.

If they want to make sure they can go, they should more than likely consult some higher up in the keep, Governor Nighthill being the absolute leader as you well know.

[Norschtalen]

Hmm. I guess we'll deal with that when we get there. Our collab ends with us getting to the entrance anyways.

@Gordian Nought@Norschtalen@Lucius Cypher
I will probably be able to post next on Saturday, since it's getting quite late now and tomorrow will be quite busy. I still might have some time tomorrow evening, but just to be on the safe side my deadline goes a bit further.
