Who's best able to get him and bring him down to the group in that timeframe? Kurt, Valen, or Natalia?

ANyone, as we cal all just walk there. I'd say Valen, just because he has the longest legs. Should take him about 7.5 seconds to get there.

Once Valen brings down the orc Natalia will tie him up.

He's on the ground, I don't think anyone has to bring him down. We could just walk over to him. (Once he's tied up we might want to carry him farther from the cave's entrance, but it's a good idea to tie him up first- I don't know if he can be carried without waking up).

Oh, I thought he was halfway up the rocks. Never mind then.

Only made it to 12:40 PM!

I managed to interact with a lot of people in the morning without ever finding out, though there was a close call or two. But then a Canadian family member sent out an email to a bunch of us that gave it away. I had actually set up an email filter for both candidate's names, but she just wrote something like "Congratulations on reelecting a great man" and it got through

How did you manage to not find out while being on a college campus? My dining hall burst into cheers when CNN called it.

So, uh, what should we ask this orc? And did he make his will save?

I think we don't get to know if he succeeded or failed, as there are no obvious effects, given that he's tied up and gagged.

Also we should ask about the attacks that have been going on.

Edit: Or maybe we do! Even with the bonus for being threatened, 2 is hardly going to cut it.

We know, though I suppose our characters probably don't.

ETA: Though no matter what, we're just going to ungag him anyway.

Shiny would know if his enchantment succeeded or failed. The caster is aware of such things, though it'd be for fun if thy weren't!

I was about to say the same thing.

I'm really sorry guys, I'd be on all day but there's nothing to post and more importantly I've got a bad orgo exam in a few hours so I'm studying for that. Can Valen say anything to the orc? What about a sign the orc's enchanted?

well. in order for the PbP to last a long time, different characters need opportunities to shine at different times. If not, one or two players highjack the game and the rest quit out of boredom. Also, a split party seldom help.

so right now, it is Shiny's turns to shine. Mithril has taken herself out of the current action, Kurt, Valen, Natalia and Miriam have little to do. Shiny is the only one who speaks orcish so there is not much the others can do.

Yes, momentum has slowed down but it is a natural part of the game.

Admiral probably got hit by the storm again. Zman, can we ask questions too?

Also, wish me lucky, guys! After this I should be on more often for a while.

Things have really slown down. Its partially my fault as I have been quite busy.

Admiral seems to have very limited availability as late. So it seems does Athedia.

We may need to move things along a bit faster, and I may need to NPC them for a bit.

Any suggestions? Anyone feel like subbing for Shiny?

I think we should all ask the orc questions as a group. I'd volunteer to sub in for Shiny, but I don't know how well I can rapidly switch back and forth between two people so radically different as Shiny and Natalia for a while. Plus I've never been that great with off-the-cuff high-charisma characters. I don't know if I can do him justice.

I cannot play Shiny. I cannot do happy go lucky super charismatic character. I can do dark, conflicted, basic, mysterious but Shiny. No way.

Coffee, I am sure you did better than you think you did.

I'm not opposed for Coffe stepping in and NPCing Shiny for a bit.

Or the otehr option is I simply summarize the encounter??
