[OOC] Promise of Riches - Tranditional Fantasy Adventure

[VirtualVulcan]

I have forum RPed before but not here, so this looks like a good RP to jump into!

I'm not going to make a character sheet if that is alright, but if not I will be willing to make one. I just want to see where I take him instead of obeying boundaries.

[Kelewen]

Hi VirtualVulcan! You don't need a character sheet unless you want one. Maybe your character had been offered the job by Straw, declined, but then thought better of it and has been trying to catch up to the group?

Alternately, you are more than welcome to have the yet-to-be-named man that is face down on the road. He doesn't have to be dead and could simply have been knocked unconscious and picks an appropriately dramatic time to wake up.

[Kelewen]

Anyone still playing?

[GrandDM2]

I'm still here.

[Kelewen]

I know you posted right before me in the IC, but I think others have had plenty long enough to reply. I wouldn't mind if you posted again. :)

[Kelewen]

Bump!

[Warrior in the Shadows]

Somebody else has gotta post! Come on!

[TheObsidianWolf]

I'll post when I get home after work.

Awesome. :)

I'm thinking we lost Illogical Jim. Does anyone want to take over the elf character? Or should we kill him off in the encounter with the drow?

[Kelewen]

Anything I can do to make this RP more fun for you guys?

[Warrior in the Shadows]

We need more people! Or the existing people need to get back her and post!

[Driananium]

I've been watching this for a while. I had planned to mosey on in when its convenient, I've just been waiting for a good time.

[Warrior in the Shadows]

Looks like we have a savior.

Cool! If we're down to just the three of us, how do you guys think we should move forward? Driananium, any chance you'd want the woman's traveling companion? It'd be easy to say he was just unconscious.

(I don't want to box you into a character you don't want though. So if you've got something else in mind, that's okay too. :) )

[Warrior in the Shadows]

I like the idea of continuing and getting a few more fights on. Maybe make it more of a desperate adventure. We start losing tons of crap, like our horses and supplies, through a series of bad luck. Then we finally make it to the ruins, after being badly beaten.

[Driananium]

Sure, I think I can make that work. Was the woman planning on joining the quest? I just need to know so I can plan to be an escort or plan to find some way to leave her or something to that effect. If not I can always step in somewhere during the next battle or anything else. I'm pretty patient.

Also what's the combat system like here. What it seems is that someone takes a swing at someone and the GM decides if it hits. Is that right or am I imagining things?

[Warrior in the Shadows]

Just to clarify, the post where Hugh was mercilessly slaughtering the bandits, I was given permission by Kelewen.

If she lives, I was thinking she'd join. Of course, her survival is looking pretty iffy at the moment. ;)

I try to do my best to allow the player controlling the target of the attack decide if the hit lands or not. This tends to work well most of the time. So if it's against your character, you get to decide the degree of success or failure of the attack.

[Driananium]

OH! /facepalm thats a hint hint, not a I dunno what's happening yet.... /fail

Actually I had planned to play a female character. I've never played a male before and dunno how great I'd be at it. Was there a specific reason the travelling companion was Male? or could they (I) be female in that case?

That's not a problem. In the In-Character, the character was said to be male, but I'll see if I can go back and edit that post quick...

and done! :)
