I think that might change if we start to really do damage to it.

Silifi you were right!!

hedgeknight, nice try at stopping Magda but I think ya missed... barely

[silifi]

I'm down with whatever plan we come up with, but maybe we should nail him down and tell Ceana and Kain to allow us to leave him there, and if they don't allow us to retreat they'll be forced to fight us.

I'm hoping that negotiation works.

[Rex]

You can't negotiate with someone who is charmed.

[silifi]

If their goal is to protect the pigman, maybe we can...

Failing that we will just have to knock them out.

[OGRE MAGE]

Now we're talking!

[subaltari]

DANG that was close!

[Karaunios]

Along with the items Ceana departed with....... (don't tell me what to do)

From now own, each time you say something about that spot Ceana has left or you say anything about Ceana you will mention the items.

"As your former companion, Ceana, and her items, left..."

"This was where some items along with her carrier, Ceana, disappeared."

Etc.

Just great

"An ancient and cryptic Hyperborean codex, now in the hands of the Keltic Druid Ceana. That ß*†©& sneakier than we thought!"

Well played, hedgeknight

[Karaunios]

I wass all for going back, getting some gold pieces for our treasure, get some rest, recover hp and spells, and coming back again.

But after that book missing and that open door, now I'm intrigued. Dammit, OM, you did again

What do you guys think?

[OGRE MAGE]

[Rex]

I am not opposed to checking the new room, but agree we need to head back soon.

[Karaunios]

Let's do that.

[subaltari]

Agreeing with Karaunios, the fact someone 1) took the book and 2) left that door open changes the game. I'm not sure how it changes the game, but we may have an opportunity now that won't be there in a few days!

OM: nice artwork for this scene

[Rex]

Yup, nice artwork.

[Karaunios]

Yesss.

[OGRE MAGE]

Thanks!

That last one was right out of the mod.

[Karaunios]

I know of your artistic ability, OM, so I didn't doubt it wasn't from you

[OGRE MAGE]

HEY!

[Monsieur Rose]

So I hesitated writing this, but I'm being selfish.

Meta game, this is Hyperborea. Bad stuff happens. My concern is that that Gem is one of those bad things. And if enough people follow along, suddenly the game has lost two, three, four more players. I'm enjoying the game, and have had a few too many TPK-like events in other games due to impulsive PC actions. And I love OM, but he has clearly shown that he won't prevent players from screwing themselves over.

In character, if Kain loses half or more of the party, including multiple fighters, it would be tough for the people left behind to press on. The encounters have been hard with a full party, things would be deadly with a split one. That is how we snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

This is so much easier to discuss in person.
