@Dark Cloud Got to say, boss man, I don't mind you needing time to do the DM thing. How you're going about it, though, with reserving the next post then not actually posting anything... Kind of stops the rest of us from just having fun with dialogue between our characters, without actually progressing the game.

We could all legitimately be having an in-character discussion about what we should do about this goblin attack right now, which unless we're about to get attacked again seems like something that's going to happen anyway. So, have to say, I'm sorta confused about your methods on this one.

Hmmm... I just realized; Tibor has guidance and hasn't been abusing it at every opportunity.

I do believe I am a failure as a cleric.

@TGM Kenshi's character got crit for lethal damage, then Kenshi abruptly dropped from any and all contact with anyone. We now know why, but at the time we needed to resolve combat. So, we moved forward with the intent of treating the character as an NPC.

It was ultimately my decision to kill his character as an NPC, instead of keeping him around. Dark didn't know I had planned to do that, but Kenshi wasn't around to object, and you were given the invite by (as I understand it) Cu before Ironheart was even dead, or before I think Dark was even certain Kenshi wouldn't come back.

That said, Kenshi was a problem child who took offence at the drop of a hat, regularly caused problems, and saw the adventure as a videogame and treated it as such. Dark and I had been in another game with him where he threw a tantrum like a petulant child after I confronted his character over something I told him OOC I was going to confront his character about, and instead of accepting the GM siding with me on the matter, dropped the game.

Kenshi deserved what he got, and I'm more than willing to say it.

@Dark CloudTibor is gonna search the area for tracks. I rolled... not great, but he's good at survival. Roll is in my post.

Once the pyre finally finished burning, Tibor turned away and rejoined the group. Zinlynn would need time, no doubt, to process what had just happened. Being a servant of Kelemvor, the cleric was used to the sight of grief. To her, his only response was a solemn nod, as acceptance of whatever blame she cared to lay on his shoulders.

"De warrior is right," he said, addressing the group, but looking at Nethruel. "Dese horses were dead well before Tibor's story began. De man who own dem, Gundren, he not here. If de had been close by when de fightin' happened, we would had heard de horses panic. No, dis here was an ambush. Tibor's story may make it hard to hear, but not so loud uttahs could not hear. Like de tiefling say, maybe if someone had not had dier eyes in a book, we woulda seen dem comin' dat much sooner."

Before the tiefling could add to his comment, Tibor would turn to him, pointing at his face with the end of his staff. "Not dat he de only one needs to learn a lesson. Dat gold goes to de party. Tibor take only alms for de church, ta pay funeral costs to Kelemvor. A little coin weigh well on de scales, an a warrior dat die in battle deserve the extra weight. De rest, it get split even. Understood?"

"Batiri not likely ta talk to us. But, dey are too stupid to hide deir tracks, and Gundren was a big mon. Tibor gonna go search de wreckage, see if he can't find sum tracks." With that, he did as he said, once more breaking away from the group. In Chult, goblins-there called batiri-rarely left tracks deep enough to follow, and were innately talented at hiding. However, that was natural to their species, and not an active effort to make it harder to follow them. So often, when they took captives, they did not think to hide the trail the body left as they dragged it. The large tortle hoped these odd main-land batiri were the same, as he began examining the area around the horses for signs of a struggle and a body being taken away.

(Survival roll to search for tracks: 12)

@Guardian Angel Haruki No worries.

I'll be tossing up a post later tonight. I'd do it now, but I'm DMing a pathfinder game in *checks clock* 3 hours and I haven't eaten today. Woo!

@Guardian Angel Haruki It's not a big deal, but they didn't bury Ironheart, he was put on a funeral pyre and Azra lit it on fire with magic.

@TGM As I said; Pragmatic.

sad tiefling noises

@Kassarock

Oh, I'm really looking forward to Azra's response to all this.

Lost Mine Of Phandelver (D&D 5e) (CLOSED)

Well, that's the two pragmatic individuals out of the way. Now for the ones who were in the 'splash zone.' Emotionally, but also very likely literally.

@Necroes Well it depends on everyones reaction to you looting Ironhearts corpse. And no inspiration.

@Dark Cloud

Ah, darn... Whelp, there're more stories where that came from.
