The keystone Chronicles

[Quarg]

I can be there...and see some Bugs Bunny on Saturday Morning too....!!!

[thinkslogically]

Hey M0rt, can you make me a new character sheet for tomorrow please? I'll need to set it up today I guess

[M0rtimer]

I'm away from home all day but I'll do it asap

[thinkslogically]

No worries Take your time!

[thinkslogically]

Ok, I've made Flint: a Mountain Dwarf Abjuration Wizard who's basically a health and safety guy with War Caster.

If you're ok with it, he uses a warhammer for his arcane focus, wears a breastplate (from racial bonuses), and is built around being able to detect and navigate traps etc (with magic, not DEX) but is otherwise a straight, probably-not-very-good wizard

[M0rtimer]

Hey guys, sorry for the way late announcement, but something came up at the last moment. Session can still go through, but it'd very likely be cut short - I expect around two hours or so. Though I'll try and stall as much as possible

Up to you guys if you think that's worth it, or if we should look for the next time. I need to post some new doodles again soon regardless, and also catch up on the recaps

[M0rtimer]

Way overdue, here we go!

Doodles!

Session 8 summary
After spending the night at the Blu household, the group entered the vaults together, joined by the five guild heads and their most entrusted bodyguards... It not taking long for them to try and take the main route, and immediately triggering a trap that turned many of the surrounding armor stands to life. This luckily did not prove too much of a problem, as they decided to split up and check out two of the separate side paths... Avoiding traps on each side, one side fell in minor conflict with the head of the white clan, who came to the apparent decision he'd be joining the other group, and departing... Just as the two groups find themselves engaging spectators- The young cousin of a beholder- They hear his screams coming back from the entrance. It had appeared that he had tried to go down a floor by himself, and promptly invoked the ire of some more spectators. What was worse, in a rush to try and help, only Gray and some of the guards arrived, while others had to come from all the way across the floor... And Dinnus had been found exploring a dug out passage that went much further than he expected. Uther and Krannoc arrived only just too late for Gray and one of the guards, slain by those two spectators..! They got vengeance, and took this time to properly regroup. The rest of the nobles angrily dragging along the Rudd clan member, who had already begun looting some of the items in one of the storage rooms.

Session 9 summary
As a first matter of business after these attacks, the clan leaders were sent away- Luckily, voluntarily, after their fellow member had died. Before they left the Blu clan member addressed Krannoc, thanking him profusely for saving the life of his own guard- And upon request, agreed to spare as many healing potions as could be gathered on first notice. A hour later backup arrived, some more guards reinforcing the fray, as others carted over the bodies... One of them carrying four healing potions, the only ones that could be found quickly - With the promise of further aid, after enough time to gather a greater force. Time the adventurers did not have... Joined with these reinforcements was also Flint- A bureaucratic dwarf that was very disgruntled with the current state of affairs.

Going down a floor, they at first spent their time trying to crack open several of the side doors, but soon found it to be a rather useless effort. Fighting a couple more spectators, and accidentally triggering a couple more statues, finally they seem to find the staircase down another level- Heavily guarded! Another spectator, but joined by another guest... A whole horde of strange, imp-like creatures, which while apparently quite weak invoked a headache just by being near, something that was being made use of..! Through some clever play however, they managed to deal with the threat without too many issues, leaving them only with the final staircase down...

Don't forget to vote guys :o Dusk, Thinks?

[thinkslogically]

I can do the 1st Sept, but not sure about the other dates at the moment...

[M0rtimer]

Alright, looking at the available dates and... It's kind of mean to Rodgeir, but it's looking like first of September is the best option for now, but it seems we'd be ending at the moment Rodgeir becomes available... To be fair, it's the only time where three people are available, and it'd also mean we can just resume straight from where we last left off without needing to explain why people disappear/reappear, and finish the session properly

So 1/9 at 3pm it is! There'll be some more loot (finally I bet ) in this session, but don't worry Rodgeir, I'll make sure to relay that to you OOC so you don't get left out. (We can maybe arrange OOC what happened to Dinnus as well..?)

[Rodgeir]

Thanks for the concern Mort!

I may be able to join, it is just harder and I would need to take a dinner pause at around 17:30. I will test the waters, otherwise I would be happy to have a short OOC "What the "#¤% is Dinnus doing?" session.

[M0rtimer]

If you can make it, even better!

We'll pin down the first for now, in a good week or so, and might be able to do one of the following two weeks depending on what gets answered when you guys know more.

[Quarg]

Yeah, I'm off on travel from the 3rd to the 19th of September so I will be unavailable....

[Rodgeir]

I have gotten tentative approval to play on Sunday. I will let you know on Saturday if that changes.

[thinkslogically]

We have a storm coming in (Dorian). Should be ok, but might have to be shuttering up on Sunday. We'll see :S

[Rodgeir]

Looking good to be there. Gotta take a break for dinner around 17:30 though

[thinkslogically]

Hey, I'm going to need to skip this one today- sorry for the late notice :S

[M0rtimer]

No problem, I understand. Hope everything is alright over there on your end.

Also don't forget to vote for the other two doodles guys, so we can maybe play on one of those dates too:

[Dusk9]

Sorry, sorry! Something came up and I had to leave the house for a few hours! I completely forgot to let you guys know.

[M0rtimer]

It's alright, can't be helped I suppose. Just try and make sure to let know about the other dates asap so we can hopefully arrange to play on one of those

[Dusk9]

Done the doodle for this weekend - can't make it sadly

Next weekend is more likely, but I'm not sure on times yet. I'll let you know as soon as I've got it sorted.

Did you manage to have a game without me and Thinks there?

[M0rtimer]

Sadly not. Heading up to the finish of this little dungeon thing, and I'd much prefer to not do it with just two players.

[M0rtimer]

If we want to do this weekend still we'd probably want to fill in the doodle soon, but it's likely only happening if both Thinks and Quarg can both go. Maybe next week might work out a bit better? (I just realized I can't do next week friday, but I think that probably doesn't matter much?)

I'll create some more doodles for weeks after that soon too.

[M0rtimer]

Mmm. This week at least is not looking like it'd work out :S Let's try and get for next week filled out asap, and I'm going to get more doodles ready tomorrow.

[M0rtimer]
