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

[Norschtalen]

I don't like making short posts, but better than having nothing to do for the next few days.

[Ryonara]

@Hekazu
I think I can speak for all of us when I say we don’t really have anything left to do. I only posted becaus I didn’t want ya to go over the four day limit and I don’t want to stall with more plans than nessisary. I’m willing to wait to see how Orchid and Kyra’s plan works out but honestly I think that should just be covered as a roll ooc so we can move onto the next phase.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Then the real question is, is anyone against the events of nightfall and going from there, with our missing druid assumed by the Dungeon Master? This has been a long day following a long night, so the only way to see the outcome is attempt the plan assembled thus far. Granted this more I would like to address myself, but Brannor is very much out of the scene for all practical intents and purposes.

[Lucius Cypher]

Nah I’m pretty much done on my end. What I have planned doesn’t go into effect until night happens anyways. And whiled is rather not go on without our full party aware of it, I’m sure our old Druid is able to tag along easily.

[Gordian Nought]

Apologies for my absence. My real life has been whelmed as of late. I should have a post this afternoon.

[Gordian Nought]

Posted.

[Hekazu]

Now, while I am willing to continue with our Druid still with us, that does not mean I should not ask for the opinion of others just as well. Does anyone have anything against Gordian hopping back in after the unnotified absence of a few weeks? Because to be fair, that does go against our rules and guidelines. You are just as free to answer to my inquiry in private, as you are in the open. Do note that the absence of any and all opinions will be counted as an "I don't care".

[Lucius Cypher]

Ive no issue with it. Welcome back man, missed Torus’s mad rantings.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

As I have stated previously, at this point I do not care, @Hekazu. Let them return if they so wish. My time of trying to make this go any faster or more expediently is long, long over and there would be no point in my attempt at trying to make it go any smoothly or rapidly.

[Norschtalen]

If I could come back after being gone for so long, than it's only right that Gordian gets his chance too.

[Ryonara]

I don’t have an opinion. I’ll admit attendance for this RP is sporadic the the ever looming threat that the GM is going to cut it because someone is inactive has made me feel rather uneasy about dedicating too much time and effort. We play to have fun you know, not have another deadline to meet. If Gordian can keep up despite that though I don’t see why he can’t stay with us.

[Gordian Nought]

Thanks to all for your understanding.

[Lucius Cypher]

Speaking of deadlines, @Hekazu I think we all can also agree that we've lingered long enough on the camp scene. If we could transition into night and begin the rescue and escape, potentially?

[Gordian Nought]

We are all gonna escape with Brannor and Leosin. Via disguises.

Anyone else?

[Hekazu]

@Lucius Cypher
That's the plan now that the Druid matter is settled. I will have a post up early afternoon my time. That's when I'll have more time to write about this deadline matter too.

[Hekazu]

There we go, a post! Sorry for keeping you waiting. Speaking of waiting, let me address the following, since I feel there is a sort of misunderstanding here.

@Ryonara

I can understand frustrations looming from deadlines being present in pastime activities and prioritisation of matters is everyone's own to choose. But I am the sort of person that likes to have some sort of a timetable for things they do. And especially when I'm DMing, I enjoy it being a bit tighter. As time passes, I feel more and more of the strings I have to keep in my hands slip away, and it becomes increasingly difficult to keep the game running in a consistent manner. Thus the deadline approach. It allows me to avoid most of the situations where I end up with no strings in my hands at all and need to pick everything up from scratch, which would both make it a chore and an unenjoyable process for me as well as drop the quality of the RP for all of you. I am sorry if this causes the opposite problem of making you not want to play, but as things are I have no other ideas on how to avoid this issue.

[The Harbinger of Ferocity]

Since I have Brannor awaiting who ever will come to meet him and Torus for their escape, or just the druid leading on, there is still little more I can do. At this point since we have hit nightfall, now is the time to put whatever plan there is into action and finally, at last, see ourselves out of this camp. Hopefully, and I do say that with purpose, with the monk we were looking for in tow. I would rather not go on another rescue mission.

[Lucius Cypher]

I’ll grt a post up tonight~

[Hekazu]

So that's the plan you are going with...

Right, I will need stealth checks from @Lucius Cypher and @Norschtalen, as well as attack rolls with advantage. The (chronologically) latter of the two dice will be omitted in case of the stealth failing and Davis being aware of your attack, but that is character specific. Do also give me the damage for your nonlethal assault.

@Ryonara, if you would provide me with the 1d4 damage roll for your cantrip, that would be swell. In case he fails his save, you know.

Rolls will be supplied by me tomorrow in case you have not taken the opportunity to make them yourself before that point.

[Ryonara]

Here is the damage: 2
