I thought I recognized some of those! Great job on the characters!

Thought you folks would like to know, I'm making some pregens up for a convention game of SS&SS I'm going to be running in about 10 days, and I've decided to use the party as templates :D Not going to copy stats, but I plan on making them up to broadly resemble what we've got as it covers a nic...

Hello all, I think I will bow out at this time. I am so far behind now and I cannot catch up or keep up with the group. I am having a great time in the game. Some of you other players post almost every day and are way more flamboyant than I am. You do this a lot and some of you are in many different...

My apologies to all of you. I have been away for a week, taking care of a family funeral. I have been away from a computer and unable to follow the post or participate.

I will catch up on posts this weekend.

Im in. Sounds good to me.

I peer into the crack and take a quick look.

Something shiny just sitting on the table, out where everyone can see.... I say its a trap, and we will hear them holloring shortly.... or its just a kitchen utensil

I pull my sword back out and wait....

Special Ability-Sense Magic (Int):[1d20] = 18

My intellegence is 12

I do not sense any magic

Haroun While the warrior woman was making her decision, Haroun quickly took the chance to turn round quickly, and in similar hushed tones looked first at Xantius then Fiddleback before saying can you tell if there is magic here? Any creatures which might be lurking or another trick like the one wit...

Fiddleback
I agree with Haroun as well, I am not eager to get into a cage, but we can peer in as we pass by.

Looks like any direction is a as good as the other, both dark, dank, and full of musty air.

I touch the walls and floors a bit with my hand, to get a feel for how dry or moist it is down here. Can I tell if one way seems more "Stale" or "Musty" than the other?

If/when you guys do move on down the stairs, is the below an OK order, or would you like to edit? Jayamanka (torch and spear) Skavguard (war hammer) Haroun (dagger) Fiddleback (Long Sword) Xantius (lantern) Jasper (torch and dagger) As a variation on my earlier proposal, I suggest Jayamanka passes ...

Fiddleback I go in and take a closer look at the bodies. OCC: What do they look like? Are they mummified, recently dead, warriors, servents? etc... I'm trying to get a better description and perhaps cause of death. Where they slain, cut to ribbins, burnt, etc.. I wonder what these poor souls died fr...

I ready my Sword.

The Spells are a bit vague and dark, tho that is the flavor of the game setting, I guess. I read Arcane Projectile (fire lightning,force,acid or other elemental element) - as being able to pick the element when you cast it, to better suit your needs at the time. This fits with my shaman character Su...

Fiddleback OOC: Circles the entire tower and rejoins the group, I see on the one door to get in... Seems un-natural to not have windows to let the fresh air of nature in or to hear the birds singing in the morning or to just casually look out over the valley. Let's go in and get this over with so we...

Cool map. And, your logic around miles per hex makes good sense to me. While I think, given that a few of this group are new to The Unseen Servant, I thought I'd ask the old hands if there are any posting conventions we should know about? badams30 is leading by example, putting the character name a...

All the ideas above are very good and a I can run with them. The GM stated: "I was thinking of starting the game off ‘at the doorstep’ of the first dungeon/adventure just to get things off with a bang." Perhaps it would help if we knew a little more about the adventure we were about to emb...

I like it. I'm imagining Jayamanka as being somewhat superstitious and suspicious of full blown magic - so a shaman would be far more to her liking than a bloody fireball wielding, damage wreaking mage - no offence Xantius :) Not that she's liable to advertise such views. Better to try and stay on ...
