[OOC] The Death Knight's Squire [D&D 5e One Shot]

[Mistress Dizzy]

@CollectorOfMyst I've been on this site for years and this is the first time anyone has told me this exists.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Mistress Dizzy It's in the Basics bit of the formatting cheatsheet below the reply box 😅

It's tables that I don't understand.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Benzaiten Don't know if it matters, ultimately, but when you refer to 'equipment' in the little character thing on the side, does that just refer to weapons and armour? Or is it just most of the inventory?

Also, probably gonna go green for Keannan's dialogue. Who could have guessed it?

[Benzaiten]

@CollectorOfMyst I mean basically everything. Perhaps minus any tiny neccessities or flavour items such as trophies, soap, or clothes. But anything useful in the wilderness (mechanically) such as crowbar, rope, thieves tools, rations, etc.

[Mistress Dizzy]

@CollectorOfMyst It’s there, but in the example box on the right... there's no indication of what it does or changes. Nor is it explained.

I figured the forest green would get taken. What color for cheery adopted goblin...

Oh! Btw, what is the youngest age you will accept for an adventurer? I was considering dropping Nita to 15.

[Benzaiten]

@Mistress Dizzy I don't feel comfortable dropping below 16.

[Mistress Dizzy]

Oh ok. Kid stays as is. :)

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Benzaiten I hope it's okay, but I've swapped my druidic focus from a sprig of mistletoe to a yew wand (which I forgot was a thing). Nothing changes except it's a wand now and is 'worth' more.

[CollectorOfMyst]

Hope that's a good first post 😅

Note: Keannan doesn't sleep, being an elf and all. In Faerun, an elven trance is also known as the Reverie, so I used it here (mostly as a point of 'hey, I was having a good dream' rather than trying to be fancy).

Also, @rocketrobie2, since we have c'Ob, who's a grung, would he presumably be sleeping in a bathtub or something? Since he has the whole 'can't go without water or he'll die' trait.

@CollectorOfMyst

That is fine! I just got home and shall read the first post once I can get to it.

Had a terrible day. (Was meant to go to a job interview so I hopped on the train, drove 4 stations, hopped off to get on the bus, and waited 40 minutes for said bus which never came, the bus only comes once per hour. So I called the boss to ask if I should come late or reschedule, and he said to reschedule. So I wanna hop back onto the train and WHAT A COINCIDENCE the train doesn't come for another 50 minutes because of some unforeseen incident at the main train station. So I paid 10 bucks for a train ticket to wait 1h30m in the cold just to drive a few stations back and forth! But of course, the train never SAYS it is 50 minutes late. It says "20 minutes" then counts down til it says "train incoming" and immediately goes back to "20 minutes". So it's not like I could have gone and sat in some café while waiting or go eat a pizza because the train station keeps telling you the train could come any minute between 'now' and 'never'. I wasted 10 bucks on this bs.)

@Mistress Dizzy I think your CS is still missing in the character section. Did you choose an image by now? If so, please move the CS over to the Char tab.

Edit: Btw, I encourage "speed posting" for this one shot. If you can post a short reply 3x a day, I will take that over a long reply once per week. It'll keep the one-shot moving quicker and hopefully leads to us finishing this within a reasonable timeframe.

[CollectorOfMyst]

(To be fair, I've looked. It's very hard to find an image of a young-ish non-binary human character in a fantasy setting)

[Benzaiten]

@CollectorOfMyst Could you perhaps create one with one of these avatar creators? Or with heroforge?

[Mistress Dizzy]

Hello!

I work full time, have a husband and non-internet life. 3 posts a day isn't happening. If you outlined that expectation in the opening and I overlooked it, my apologies.

If you didn't, the restriction is not appreciated. If it's a deal breaker, I can leave the spot to someone else.

@CollectorOfMyst You are correct and I'm picky as hell. I am finally closing in on the weekend so I can search in earnest.

[Benzaiten]

@Mistress Dizzy I outlined it as a preference. Posting once per week is in the rules. Not more than that is necessary. I understand how busy life is, I also have one of those.

[Mistress Dizzy]

@Benzaiten OK. I can absolutely handle once a week. That's no problem.

My apologies for sounding snappy. I've had plenty of RPers say they're cool with a slow pace before quickly proving that they are not.

I'm finally home (thank goodness) so I'm gonna go image hunting.

EDIT: Just saw the IC... I can't read the font at that size. Would it mess up the coding if I requested a larger size? If so, I'll just try to work with it.

[CollectorOfMyst]

@Mistress Dizzy The sup/sub command is what makes the code small. Personally, it was the grey colour that made it difficult for me to read, but are you asking for every post to have it be normal-sized or just if your own can be that way?

[Mistress Dizzy]

@CollectorOfMyst Everyone's. I can't read anything written with the font at it's current size. Again, it's not completely necessary.

Also the grey didn't help either... >_<

@Benzaiten

Sorry to hear that and sorry about not posting yet. I've been (and am) pretty sick right now. I should have a post up tomorrow though.

[Benzaiten]

Still waiting for the others to post. 7 days is coming up.
