[OOC] Avonshire - D&D Based Adventure

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

Update is posted! Here is the point in time that I say something pithy and banter a bit, but... I think I can summarize things with a quick and simple: Best of luck.

Find me in our Discord for questions, concerns, or rolls.

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

Why hello, all my Edgelords and M'Bladies!

We have come to an interesting choice, or couple of choices, to make. Time is a factor, though that is far from the only one. Several points known and unknown weigh upon the group, and believe me when I say that the list of Current Clack occurring within and without the town's walls will continue, though character decision can influence these events.

(Insert evil laugh here, make random comment to increase tension, pour myself a scotch and try not to pull a muscle patting myself on the back. Yay!)

As always, hit me up in our Dicsord by DM or tagging me in the OOC channel. I welcome questions, comments, and concerns, as well as requests for die rolls or other bits of game mechanic niftiness.

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

Okay, update has been updated. A couple of things:

1) Yes, that stealth roll screwed everyone. The NPC was able to Persuade/Intimidate to buy you all a minute or two. (ahem) From the townsfolk, at least.

2) @Remipa Awesome, Kathryn is able to find a couple of places to ditch the stabilized Guard. An empty barrel (if you don't mind folding him), unattended cart, and yes, a large refuse bin for the festival all become apparent as you make your way down the side streets to your destination. Pick one and fit it into your next post. And if you change your mind about ditching him, let me know beforehand, please.

3) I was operating under the assumption that the group was sticking together after all that has happened and was all headed to Neil & Bob's Public House. If anyone wishes to go elsewhere, let me know and I will get with you in our Discord.

4) The streets are still mostly empty, despite the festival. We all have a pretty good idea why.

Fine. That was four things. Sue me. As per usual, please get with me if you have any questions, roll requests, etc, in the Discord and/or by DMs. Thanks for continuing with our collaborative storytime, and welcome to the final act. Huzzah!

Hello again. Here I am, writing an update. And here you are, reading it. I guess that works out for us all. ANYWAY, this is a time and place that a Short Rest is possible if you want to take it. If asked, the tavern will have a few things to help bandage a wound and/or patch someone up. There is food and drink here, and while not as defensible as the Silversmith's place it isn't terrible. There is time for upkeep and discussion if desired, and even the resources for a decent nap. Do try not to oversleep.

Per usual, please be in touch via our Discord for all manner of question, comment, or die roll. Remember that the town is going through a series of events behind the scenes and situations are dynamic in nature. Oh, and best of luck to us all.

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

At the risk of being terse, the Short Rest is upon you. Characters doing anything aside from shot rest approved activities will find themselves without the benefit therein. Talk amongst yourselves, prepare for what might come in whatever manner you choose (within reason), and best of luck. Questions, comments, concerns, etc. can be best put to me in our Discord. Thanks!

[rivaan]

@Sigil posted,but from phone cause work. If there are mistakes or something to edit I will be sure to fix once I get home.

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

Here we find the party engaging in Short Rest activities. So far, this has taken the form of unconventional sandwich discussion, a touch of bardic histrionics, a touch of backstory drop, and the gruff lady passing out what amounts to a rare hug. Awesome work, Edgelords and M'Bladies. A cursory reminder that, in this upcoming time, if your characters engage in things which do not qualify as activities permitted during a Short Rest, you will not receive the benefits therefrom. With this in mind, please discuss what you need to about the upcoming festivities either In Character or in our uberspiffy OOC-Lounge in the Discord.

Per usual, for any questions, requests, die roll confirmation, etc, please drop me a message or a mention. I do wish the best of luck to everyone who has stuck it out for this long.

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

Update has been updated, ladies and gents. The short version: Everyone qualifies for the full effects of a Short Rest. Sundown is happening soon. You all are alone in the Public House. It's getting colder and foggier, so one can't count on darkvision for distance viewing, and this is the first night of the full moon. Not sure if I missed anything, but it's all there in black and white.

Per usual, please hit me up in our Discord for questions, dice rolls, or the like, and if I haven't covered something I ought to have, let me know. I might not give you the answer you want, but I'll give you an answer. I guess all I've got for you now is:

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

Well, here we are again! The update is short this time as not a lot of declarative action has taken place and everything that needed description has been described recently. With this in mind, I will field any and every question about the environment, the goings-on, or whatever else your character would be able to suss out from the details around.

If the group would like to move with what seems to be the consensus plan, let's hammer down what that is in the Discord OOC and I will set the next update to the task. Otherwise, do what you might with the information provided. And best of luck. Per usual, DM me on Discord or use our OOC there for questions, comments, rolls, etc., and have a spiffy day and/or evening.

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

Okay, you got me. I updated a day early. I have my reasons, most of which involve me being horribly irregular of schedule over this weekend. This being said, don't feel pressured to pump your posts out a day early, yourself. It's all good, we'll work it out. NOW, we're entering a point where awful things might happen, and in fact I am rolling for random encounters as this setting calls for it. Per usual, please message me in our Discord for stuff, let me know if you need something rolled or a ruling on stuff, or just ask me for clarification. Best of luck moving forward. You might need it. (insert evil laugh here)

ROLL THEM DICE, PEOPLE! YAY!

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

And so it begins in earnest. The full moon is up, the group is out in the open, and the festivities are about to commence. Good luck.

Message me in Discord for rolls, questions, and the like as per usual.

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

Brace yourselves, hold your loved ones tight, and make sure you have something sharp nearby. The Update has been Updated, for better or worse. It looks like there are a few things to discuss among yourselves in the Discord OOC, which is probably for the best. Just remember, as per usual I have a Current Clack going on; a series of preplanned events which may or may not be influenced by the party's actions - both choices that have already been made and choices that have yet to be made - which will occur on a timetable.

As always, please direct questions, concerns, die roll requests, etc. to me in the Discord, and maybe also supplicate to whatever power is likely to show mercy in this given instance.

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

A shorter update, to be certain, but one which hopefully contains details which can be followed up on. If I missed anything or if there is a dangling question IC unanswered, do let me know. <insert evil laugh here> And as usual, drop me a line in our Discord for the usual stuff.

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

And there we have it. Update is updated, time is nigh, and things are thinging. Let me know how you wish to proceed.

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

Game on.

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

A note to make here: The time constraint given in the letter is realistic. Though this is the hub town of the region, it is still a very rural, agricultural place. The settlement itself is about the size of a small district or borough in a much larger city. Getting from the outer wall to the crossroads is a jaunt of a few minutes. The characters would know this based upon the delivery run they assisted early on.

In any case, please spot me in our Discord for questions, rolls, etc, and please bear with me as I have handled update via mobile. I expect that there may be some inconsistencies.

ALSO! Even though I was able to meet my time deadline, I am still going to honor the extra day for everyone to post this cycle that I mentioned in Discord. I will pace future updates accordingly. Thanks!

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

So, moving on with the fun and excitement for this week, I have hit a snag. I am presently unable to access Discord as it keeps prompting me to change my password, and then refusing to send me the Email to allow that to happen, so... yah. Hoping that's temporary. Anyway, no Discord for me. Please send any questions through private messages on this forum or the OOC here until further notice. Thanks.

Moving right along, there is a birthday in the family which requires a rightful investment of my time and attention. To this end, I will not be updating until this Sunday, the 30th. I am hoping that the Discord issue is handled by then. Post if you want, plot and plan all you like, but please keep me in the loop so that I may prepare the update accordingly.

Thanks in advance for understanding. Or if you don't, at the very least thanks for hanging in there.

@Sigil

Brief recap on what’s going on in discord, and anyone feel free to correct or add to what I am saying.

Most of the plans mentioned IC are the same ones we’ve brought up in discord so far, though I don’t think we’ve committed to any specific one yet. So I think we’re still spitballing a little bit.

As well!! In my last post I mentioned kosaras short tail, Riv has pointed out that kosara has no visible tail. So!!! Can I have permission to edit that in my post?

@Remipa Awesome

Sure, go for it. Continuity and whatnot.

[Sigil]

@Dragoknighte@rivaan@Remipa Awesome@Sigil@Arty Fox

Well, here we are. Lots of fun getting to this point, and I hope I left enough open and available options for everyone to do. Anyway... however you wish to have the characters enter the scene, please feel free to type it up. I have already done the rolls for potential random encounters based upon what might or might not be out and about. If you were to have played a full brass band while marching down the street holding a big neon sign that reads, "Get It Here", you would not have received any more attention.

Usual stuff - drop me a line on Discord for questions, clarifications, rolls, etc. I have access back and most tech issues on my end are resolved (fingers crossed), so we should be good to go.
