In retrospect I probably should not have picked a module with so much outside the dungeon stuff going on. A dungeon DM am I. Luckily it's a real well written module. And honestly I have ideas for the next steps for these PCs; maybe involving some SKYPE play as well. But that's for the future. Okay, let's push on fellows, thanks for the feedback.

Ron, if I may be so bold...

You are selling yourself short as a DM, my good sir! The depth of your DM dynamic is not found in the shallow end of the pool. In fact, quite the contrary! Blame a well written module if you must, but we all know the truth!!

And in regards to your ideas and the possibility of future Skype sessions, I can only say this:

Do we know, from our previous experience scaling the wall, how wide the top of it (the wall) is? Basically, is it wide enough to sit/stand/lie down on?

Absolutely. The outer walls are made for guards, probably about 15' wide. The elevated walkway from tower to outer wall (and then down into the goblin lair) is about 20' wide.

Also, I like words.

Without a doubt!
Not sure to call you wordsmith... or grammarsmith

But yes you are!

Along a similar line of thought, you should watch this TedX Talk on penmanship...

Technology, Entertainment, Design!
I dig TED Talks. Listening to this now. Thanks!

That was a good one!

The picture of Jesus drawn with one pen stroke was amazing!

Makes me want to work on my penmanship...

Made me chuckle that they have to pen their own certificate.

This is interesting and I'm not sure I've ever used it before. But BtB "normally sleeping" opponents, you roll to kill them automatically as an assassin. Which, if all four of you go in (and don't wake the goblins) you'd all roll percentile dice. 75% and under, and you automatically kill the goblin. But here's the fun part, if you fail, it's still an auto-hit, so you still do damage as per the weapon used.

So that's a long way of saying, everyone who goes in to kill a goblin can roll a percentile die and a damage die. I'll determine if the clanking of armored dudes and duddette walking in awakens them or not, though it's not likely.

Interesting. Exactly the rule in the DMG as OSRIC, though the DMG would give y'all only a 70%.

Hope it wasn't critical, man.

I think we hit a dead spot?

Just poking...

Think all we still need are declared actions/potential attack rolls for Till & Bruard for this round?

I believe this has been completed.

Sorry guys work got super crazy for me in an instant!
Lost two major positions at my children's residential program - I was in process of "losing" those folks anyway, but to have them both quit at the same time really sucked. And my second job exploded, so work has been about 80 hours a week, with half of my Saturdays off.
I still love the agency I work for though, nothing could be done for me by them. I'm building the "licensed therapists" business of the agency. I'm the only licensed therapist the agency has, besides the two folks that quit. So I literally (and the State of NJ was ensuring it!) did the job of three folks; my position, plus the Director's position, plus the Therapist's position. Fun fun!

Anyway, my most sincere apologies, I hope to get us all back on track in this game!
Updating stuffs now. Thanks for your patience!!

Jeloon does have that affect on people.

Hey guys, I'm going to put this game on hold for a bit I think.
It's starting to lose steam, things have gotten a bit hairy in RL for all of us, but mainly my stuff that's slowing it down.
Before we lose the good that is this game, I'd rather put a pause on it, and come back to it at a later, more sane time.
There's too much time and effort here to let it die; but I'm betting we can come back to it, a month or three from now, with renewed vigor.
Sound okay to you all? I don't want to be a party pooper, but I think stepping away from DMing this game might be best. Maybe I'll have a go (in a month or so) at a western rpg here ( ) or maybe I'll just play and not DM for a bit. But I want to pause this game.
Putting it ON HOLD, it isn't dead! Just on hold.
Thanks guys!
