Hey all. I’m very sorry for missing the last couple of resolutions. I hate to say this but I’ve realized I just don’t have the stamina to be a PbP GM. I’m so sorry to bail on you after we’ve barely scratched the surface, but if I hung on I would just be delaying the inevitable. You’re all wonderful ...

Squish cautiously approaches the doors and peers inside. The corridor beyond is grandiose, nearly twenty feet wide, with shadowy, ribbed vaults in the ceiling overhead. He is unable to see very far, as the corridor is quickly wrapped in shadows, but he does not discern any tripwires, trap doors, or...

MM3 Fletcher

Fletcher curses and drops into cover to reload his weapon. When it's ready, he takes up position again to lay down more lead.

Newly provisioned and emboldened by the intelligence gleaned from Tusta, the party gathers their things and heads south into the wasteland, following the map in the direction of the Citadel. The land south of Jackal Pass is broken and rocky, with thorny shrubs and brilliantly flowering cacti the onl...

Well, I think I shall have to officially switch my resolution times to Tuesday and Friday mornings, since I'm failing horribly to get this done at night! :lorcl: It seems the group is finished in town, so let me know how you'd like to set out. In some ways, it's obvious, but I prefer not to interpol...

The party reconvenes in the town square equipped with new knowledge and supplies. The sun has fully risen now and the swelter of the day can already be felt. A small herd of goats is driven past them, bleating madly and stinking to high heaven, while someone across the square shouts about the invigo...

MSGT Blanc Blanc works on tying up the two German soldiers while the squad is spiking the artillery piece. Assuming there isn't time to get the POWs back over the bridge, he disarms them, ropes them, and gags them as tightly as possible and looks for a spot in the bushes where they can be left secu...

MM3 Fletcher

Fletcher follows along at the back of the group, ready to drop into position and fire his last burst if the squad needs covering fire.

At the fort Tusta scratches his chin. " The north entrance isn't hidden - but it's less grandiose than the southern entrance. The Citadel is sunken into a canyon, with most of the structure's eastern side obliterated. You can march around the western side of the ruin to the north end to find t...

At the fort Tusta blows out his cheeks and sighs. " Well, you don't have the look of merchants to me, but I'll tell you what I know. Perhaps it can help prevent the sorrows that visited me from visiting you. "A group of us went there seeking our fortune, and, well... not all of us returne...

Apologies again that I've been getting the updates out a little later than intended... bedtime for my toddler has been a bit hectic of late, so the morning coffee break has become a more effective time for roleplaying!

At the fort Margush and Naugrim present themselves to the guards. " Tusta ?" says one of the guards, puffing out his chest. " That old blowhard? You don't want to hear his stories! But me, now... I've got proper stories to tell! Why, once, I was up on this cliff, see, and- " &qu...

MSGT Blanc

Blanc drops onto his belly and begins crawling towards the artillery nest, muttering curses and hoping his teammates keep up the covering fire.

MM3 Fletcher

"You all right over there, Tucker?" Fletcher shouts, torn between helping his teammate and keeping covering fire on the MG nest. But as bullets slam into Gurung, Fletcher growls and bears down on the Bren, sending off another burst towards the enemy.

Yup more oil and torches, they both only burn for an hour each. Is holy water available? I couldn't see it on the equipment list. It might be worth getting some if it's available and affordable. I wonder if this place has any temples. I think we'll be borrowing money from squish. There is indeed a ...

The party agrees to their plans for the morrow and retires to the Starry Horizon, a travelers' inn across the street from the Oasis. The rates are 5 silver pieces a night, and the lodgings clean and tidy - although they have no more luxuries than bedsheets and chamberpots. The group wakes at dawn an...

MSGT Blanc

Blanc aims his sights at the NCO with the MP40, ready to take him down if the grenade doesn’t catch him.

MM3 Fletcher

With the sniper dispatched, Fletcher turns his Bren LMG towards the machinegun nest and lays lead down range, cursing and swearing the whole while.

The mustachioed merchant performs a half bow towards Elwyn . " Please, call me Jafiyi! My doors open for business at sunrise. " He throws a glance at the smith. " That is... assuming my good friend Hamiya does not convince me to indulge in one too many malty beverages this evening! &q...

At Squish 's query, the smith slaps the table and grins. " I've got just the shirt for you! 60 pieces of gold. You'll find no better deal between here and the southlands, I assure you! " Meanwhile, the general store keeper nods at Margush and twirls his mustache. " Oh, aye, we've hear...
