The DM wants us to go out into the dark, my brain is screaming "don't do it!" :SAN: :D

The DM is a neutral referee, this time anyway! :lol: But player paranoia is welcome in a horror game. :D

Seriously, Ingrid's player PMed me all her actions. Nice job, Scott!

It's still the middle of the night. Ingrid acted early during second watch. Assuming three hour night shifts in winter, there are maybe 5 hours until dawn?

N'Rogara and Urdur have had one hour of sleep so far.
Faron and Telkis had three.
Mouser has had four.

Welcome, Corum!
On November 2nd I will be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Welcome, corum! Great PC write up. Now I'm doubly embarrassed by mine (as I should!), need to write up that time N'Rogara met these halflings at the Prancing Pony... well, that's another story...
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
