OOC Chatter

[Eris]

axis57 has decided to join us! He's got a character up, Orram of Addershire, a thief you'll be meeting shortly. And who I'm going to make a post for right now.

[shaidar]

welcome axis57!

[Marullus]

Are we meeting Enoch's character(s) too?

[Eris]

Enoch has sort of gone dark in regards to this game. I've reached out to him via PM, and if he wants to play then yes, you'll be meeting one of his characters shortly. (Either thief or bard, his option.) That PC will have been dragooned into "teaching" the goblins, too! And will be part of the "deal" you're making with Salub.

Welcome Aboard axis57!

[Eris]

My plan is to introduce Enoch's and Axis57's characters as "guests" of the Goblins. Neither is "The Wizard" and both would be going on the little "find the totum" adventure with the rest of you.

I'm hoping both (or at least one) of them are still planning to play with us and will jump into the thread this weekend.

internet problems, back when fixed

Who is Ord again?

The neutral god of knowledge and magic.

Eris, detect magic has a duration of focus. Does that mean I can move and keep the spell going, assuming I make my roll?

[Rex]

Thanks.

[Marullus]

Only shaidar and Rex have posted. Are we losing people?

Sorry, just a weekend of amazing family chaos.

You can move and keep it going, but if you switch to another action the Detect Magic will end.

Also, keep in mind that the way I'm playing things neutral can draw from what good would call evil, what evil would call good, what lawful would call chaotic and what chaotic would call lawful. You could run into anything in a temple to Ord. Expect the weird.

I understand. I've been dealing with lawyer appointments one day, doctor appointments the next, etc. Doctor put me on a new medication that I've not adjusted to very well yet, so my brain and body are a bit off.

[Rex]

I hope your feeling better soon Eris.

I always expect the weird, LOL.

Another Doctor's appt this afternoon...I'm prepared for unpleasantness on this one. Thanks for the best wishes.

Sorry, trying to figure out how to roll dice. Can't find it in the post tag stuff along with dialog, ooc, etc. Should I be looking somewhere else?

[Marullus]

Click the big gold die at the top ofnthe browser. Or if on a mobile browser, click the menu on the top left and choose "die roller." Either takes you here:

Just to add that you will need to set up a separate account to login on the dice-roller site rather than the account you use here.

What Marullus and shaidar said! But Heck! You can roll manually and just tell me what you rolled, I'm the gullible sort that trusts his players.

Or, if you want me to roll dice for you, just say what Orram is doing and I'll roll to see if it succeeds or fails. I do that in most games I run anyway.

[axis57]

Ok, thanks! I think I'll roll physical dice since it will help me learn Shadowdark. It's my first time with the system. And I'm definitely no cheater. Bad rolls can be just as fun as good ones.
