Pelltar stole my ship by way of a card game. Just going on record with that.

Also, no assassins in the Assassin's Knot?? Hersey.

Uther Uther grit hit teeth and maintained his present distance from the door. He had heard tales of wights as he journeyed through the Kingdom of Sind. Normally, he surmised, a paladin would be a match for such abominations of darkness, but this one's powers seemed limited somehow. Perhaps one day ...

I'm also headed to the woods this weekend. Fall colors walk for the wife and I on Sunday, provided the weather cooperates.

Uther The shrouded man peered curiously at the warrior who claimed to be a paladin. From the tales he had overheard in the labor camp, these holy crusaders of their given faiths were duty bound to courageously seek out and destroy any and all creatures of undeath. However, this one seemed different...

Apologies. I've been preoccupied with a partially torn MCL and a hard drive failure, resulting in both physical and mental anguish... le sigh.

Uther Uther leaned in and listened to Yagul's report on the room that lay before them. He quickly lamented having wasted his flaming sphere spell on the jelly-like creature they had previously encountered. He had been sure that magical fire could destroy almost any opponent, intelligent or otherwis...

Uther Uther's mind was still trying to make sense of the specifics of prior encounter when the group happened upon a hallway with a series of doors. As was typical, Yagul and Shade moved in to examine the nearest one more closely. At that, the wizard shifted backward to what he believed would be a ...

Uther Having seen that some of the others have passed beyond the strange jellied material unscathed, the young human wizard decided to simply walk through the area which it occupied. Yagul had said something about the creature harming or possibly consuming metal, but as Uther was wearing only a min...

@Gomez, I havent played Midland or this rule set but am happy to play in a low fantasy game in PbP, learning as we go. My experience is limited to D&D in 1st and 2nd editions (I did not like the direction they took the rules in 3rd 4th and 5th edition) but I am flexible to learning new systems ...

Back from vacation and ready to roll once again. Checking up on what I missed. Seems that it's a rust monster of some sorts? It dissolves steel but otherwise doesn't seem to harm any other material?

We can't find any rentals where we are. No one is moving, unless they're selling their home. Renters are staying put.

Just an FYI, the wife and I will be on vacation between 8/20 and 8/28. I may not be entirely responsive with regards to this game during that period.

Well, no way any of us could know that in character as we haven't encountered one before.

Uther Uther rolled his eyes as he witnessed the half-orc stride ahead into the liquid pool. "Stay out of the way, will you!" the shrouded wizard called out as he produced small pinches of powder from a belt pouch and combined them with a lard-like substance. OOC: Casting Flaming Sphere. A...

So it can't be evaporated or otherwise destroyed by magical flame?

Also, apologies for the delay. I didn't receive an update for the past several days worth of posts.

I'm willing to use Flaming Sphere and try to evaporate the fluid.

Let's see what the torch does, if it seems to have an effect, then Uther will unleash fiery fury.

Also, don't worry about being slow, the wife and I here are in the middle of moving. We're going to be busy through the weekend.

No no, I want to see if the fire has an effect on it. Uther prepared flaming sphere. He could roll it around and evaporate whatever that is on the floor, then clear out a pathway down the hall before the spell expired.

@Bluetongue Don't mind the snide remark, just trying to keep Uther's personality in line with his lousy Charisma score.
