That's the thing about reserving posts... don't do that. It's slows the game to a halt until you are able to post. It also doesn't trigger my subscriptions when you edit your reserved spot.

EDIT: Also, I should also point out that while I am not necessarily inexperienced as a DM, the PBP format is a lot slower than what I am used to IRL, so I tend to have trouble setting hooks properly. If there is anything you are curious about, feel free to ask.

That said, things should be picking up soon since no one really seems to have anything important they need to do at the moment.

@Nanoblack: Yeah, I know boss. I was actually expecting people to post on, not to wait for my mostly uninteresting post. I just feared being left too far behind. It was too late at night, I wasn't being smart. I will refrain from doing that.
OH, yeah, I have the same experience with DMing. I found out it's a good thing to always keep a journal of what the frak is happening in-game and what people is talking about. And of course, throwing in some random shake-ups to see if someone takes the brave route and start something.


@Strawberries: Elf, Drow or Unfathomable Aberration, how can an intelligent creature waste 114 solar years doing nothing constructive is beyond me. I bet he has mastered slacking-off to a level that borders god-like prowess.

Well, he is level 4, but basically... yes?

So, I've been waiting on Tonberry to introduce himself to Jack. Should I push forward on the outdoor scene without him?

I'm sorry guys, I've been out of sorts due to my dietary changes and lack of sleep...

Also, posting the stealth check here instead:

You can't see it, Nanoboss, but I am dancing in dark rituals of unspeakable ceremony to your healthy recovery. Come back to us, when the stars are right.

I have seen Nanoblack's face, and I have it on very good authority he is not Cthulhu. Now, Nyarlathotep, on the other hand...

Nyarlathotep? Oh, that's a relief, I thought it'd be Gigas or something truly WTF-worthy.

...Earthbound FTW.

Hey now! I kept my tentacles outta those pictures to prevent suspicion and here you go just giving away my secrets! That said, IC post forthcoming...

Characters indoors will receive a post once I know whether or not anyone is being stopped prior to entering the inn as that effects things somewhat.

Hah! I'm a witch when it comes to the dark secrets of unspeakable truths. It's obvious that our lord Nanoblack is the Yellow King, not to be confused with the King in Yellow, Ia Ia Shub-Nigurath.

With that in mind, here.

Actually, Plum was going to continue with what she was doing in the listening/sneaking variety, but I should probably make another roll for that:

Here. I'll wait a bit in case someone wants to interact with the drow (Baveboi?), before posting something.

Plum was doing something on her own, waiting to see how it pans out.

Yes, I do quite a bit of behind the scenes work to make sure it's as easy as possible on the players to keep character knowledge separate from player knowledge. Weekends are usually a coin toss as to whether I'll be able to post, but I'm open now and I should be posting replying to everyone soon.

Malachi is, at the moment, engaged in conversation with Jack. He either didn't notice or is ignoring the other events around the camp at the moment. (Probably the former, given his -1 Perception modifier.)

Sorry everyone.
I had to place together a game of Rogue Trader with some friends. Everything went peachy, but it took a helluva lot of effort.

Now I am back to Nanoblack and posting track!


PS: Now straws, Rana doesn't have anything against snakes. She just thinks Jadvyg's life is in danger. If you put enough thought to it, anyone can see that a viper would never get so close to someone if it wasn't the person's own will, but maybe Rana is just as clueless as her drow friend there.

No worries, it was clear to me... I have said I'm sorry to be such an obnoxious prick IC, have I?

I'm a nice person in real life, I swear.

I know you are the sweetest of sweets, Straws.
The discrimination between your personality and Jadvygs make it all even more interesting, I say.

Also, I really want to answer, but let the others post first or we will end up making a very long wall of text.

Weeelll... we're in two completely separated scenes, at the moment, so it's not like we're stealing the spotlight from the other group. I'd say go ahead, and maybe use spoilers? It's what I usually do when the party is not all in one place....
