Troll Lord Games

FWIW, once a day works for me. I'm pacific time, so posts will tend to be late in the day.

<t>How about the western door. I'll listen, Finn checks traps & listens. Snipe stands guard. When we are ready to open the door, we stand back a bit from Finn (we're covering you!) Finn, jump out of the way if anything comes at you. <br/> <br/> (OOC: I assume we've checked up, down, & all ar...

<t>OOC: Sorry about the silence - the boards were down last night when I tried posting.... And now a busy work day, so hopefully the boards will be better when I have to really review.<br/> <br/> Angrod: Overall, I'd say look & listen. Check traps. Debating if should see about detecting magic in...

Hey, did anyone get a pole? Gotta have a 10' pole....

<t>I am disturbed by the implication -- is he new, or has this been how the wizard maintained the fire for a long time? I'm not sure if we should put the creature down, or leave well enough alone? I'd be careful not to try to take anything, but I think you should have a closer look around the tower ...

I was thinking that the goblins would be setting lots of traps, and locking their treasure chests in locked rooms protected by magic....

Although I'm quite flexible and don't mind Cleric, and I do want to try the house-rules, such as Divine Blast and ability to convert spells to healing spells on d...

OOC: Houserule or am I that out of date?!

Must be house rule (or lacking in the Quick Start)

If the CK/GM waits for everyone to post, one player out of communication means no new action for everyone. Nothing happening means players check back less often, which means that the posts get even ...

We will follow Fins lead, although talk if we can, shoot if we can't....
OCC: Kinda sad that our best diplomat is also the only one who can sneak...

And Gotta remember that Bats & Rats are quite a different category of Vermin than in RL....

So, what we have to date:

Relaxo playing Straak: Fighter, Lvl 2

Jaguar451 playin Elanis: Cleric, Lvl 2

marcuspeddle playing Hrothgar: Fighter, Lvl 2

Probably need a Rogue, arcane caster would be nice.

We have a job to do, so yes, lets continue on up.

<t>Snipe stands guard. Angrod first also listens, then if nothing threatening, heals Grizzle (casts cure light wounds.)<br/> <br/> "Grizzle, the wisdom of your actions are to be questioned. Unless you start wearing armor, if someone is likely to inflict harm on your body, you might consider being le...

I loved Joust, although I have to replace my Boingo tapes.... Who do you want to be today?

<t>Angrod: "Snipe - protect Grizzle."<br/> And thinks about how long it would take to get out his bedroll or find a tapestry/rug to throw over the bats. I'd do that if it were quick. Or get someone else to do. And is there a more defensible spot? A doorway? Grizzle go first, Snipe and I rearguard to...

OOC: Yup, initiative by side sounds best for PbP.... FWIW, I just started a thread asking about 'Play by Post' best practices....

Anyone have a list of favorite 'Best Practices' for Play by Post games?

One I found via a Google search is at http://inkwellideas.com/?page_id=46

Any other good ones / lists folks have put together?

<t>Angrod -- Finn, are there stairs inside? Some of us could go up the stairs, and you go up outside, although quite a ways between us and the top to run into trouble and make noise, but not sure how else to get the rest of us up there.<br/> <br/> BTW, did we get a description of the Wizard? <br/> <...

I think most of the forum would agree with that prioritization....

And, um, now you have a little time before the Christmass shopping season....

Thanks for the map!

<t>OOC: Relaxo - yes, it looks like Grizzle has one too many spells memorized.<br/> Angrod: Well, it isn't trouble that he's found just yet. <br/> <br/> Angrod starts walking towards the door, although going a little round-about way to get a look at the opposite side of of the Tower. As he approache...

Looking forward to this.... I'm still thinking about my character, although sounds like I have a little more time to come up with something....

<t>calculus -- do we see anything more? (see one of my prior posts)<br/> <br/> Relaxo -- assuming we haven't seen, heard, smelled, or picked up with my Elf-sense, sounds like a plan, although maybe listen by the door first?<br/> <br/> Angrod says a blessing, gives thanks, strings his bow, and nocks ...
