@Birdboy See what who means?

@Birdboy See what who means?

@Dark Cloud

I believe he means what you had mentioned a week or so ago.

[Dark Cloud]

@Lurking Krog About the posting thing?

[Lurking Krog]

I believe so, especially in regard to it helping keep the rp moving.

[Birdboy]

Yeah, it's been pretty slow. I don't mind a small group but it sucks when players just up and vanish. Its not easy on a dm to explain that sort of stuff.

[The Large Dumbo]

Ack, sorry about that, everybody! I missed where we were talking about going out to the lake OOC and thought we were going to discuss it IC, sorry! I think it might not be a bad idea to consider picking up a boat to help us find the missing fishermen, but that being said, do any of us have proficiency in that sort of thing? I guess we could try to have somebody pilot it regardless, but that seems kind of dangerous. Does anybody else in the group have any particular feelings one way or the other?

Oh, and before we go out - what did we end up doing with the bloodied book we found here, in Easthaven? I think it might be a good idea to have any of the more magically-inclined characters take a peek at it, if possible. I think there was an illusion cast on the book that prevented us from actually reading it, right? Maybe someone in our new party might be able to make something of it.

@Birdboy

Honestly, it's especially bad too if that sort of thing kills a campaign. I've had a couple of campaigns just kind of disintegrate after players just poofed into thin air, which is really a shame as both a DM and player if you've had a lot of buy-in into that campaign. Like, I'd rather people just be up front about why they've suddenly stopped showing up than just fading into obscurity, it's really the least you can do for all parties involved.

@The Large Dumbo

I thought Jitter had it last but I'll have to look back through the posts.

[Dark Cloud]

At the time I made my suggestion I was making an observation on the groups lack of response consistency and not wanting to point fingers I left it vague. However I still stand by the fact that at this point you should give the people who just don't post a month then they are out of the rp. Sounds harsh but if they can't respond for a month they shouldn't hold the rp back.

[Birdboy]

@The Large DumboFirst of all, I would LOVE to take a look at that book. Maybe cast Detect magic on it? I'll likely need dispel magic which I planned to take in the future anyway. I'll be sure to say something in character in my next post, and no I don't have any proficiency that might help. I say we just go for it. Do rowboats need a lot of skill? If you want to hire someone, I say mention checking the tavern.

[Dark Cloud]

@Birdboy I mean beeg strong borbarian can row.

[Lucius Cypher]

I live! Suppose I could have Domic just sorta lead the group off sewhere now? We got blanket premission to take a boat so unless there's any objections we can just go and start rolling.

[Lurking Krog]

That sounds like a plan as I've not seen much else aside from the mystery book having been brought up.

Speaking of still need to go back through old posts and figure out who has it...

[Lurking Krog]

Looks like Kendra had the book last. I've not seen where it's been passed off since Jitter gave it to her.

[Lurking Krog]

@Lucius Cypher

That will work as it seems the consensus is such I think.

[Lucius Cypher]

Aight. I'll do it when I get home. Just landed fry flight.

[Dark Cloud]

So what's the group consensus again? We rowing boats or reading books? I can't I'm illiterate so... XD

[Lurking Krog]

I think the book would have been an option if it wasn't left with one of the other PCs that had left the group and became a NPC.

Edit

From what I've gone through the book had only changed hands the once. That and Kendra had some interest in the possible mystery behind the slight magic sense she could glean. I think if Kythor asked her she may have given it to him, but I do not think she would have just said "here take it" without being askes.

[Birdboy]

I'll try to get a post out soon! Sorry, been a bit burnt out from work lately

[Birdboy]

Oof sorry yall

[Lurking Krog]

@Birdboy All good, I figured I just needed to move us along
