Are we on this week? We were off Thanksgiving, so that would mean this week, right?

Someone should go get Pat.

Phoebe · Post by **Phoebe** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 1:53 pm

I will do my best to be there but I'm in a difficult place at the moment. I might be there but still without my properly adjusted character sheet because I just don't see how I'm going to have time to sit in quiet in front of the computer doing anything other than work.

Post by **Mike** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 2:00 pm

Well so far, the only answer is that Dave can't make it. So I guess we'll see what's up.

Phoebe · Post by **Phoebe** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 2:03 pm

Well I don't want you to be down two fighters so I will do everything to be there, but maybe will have my kid rolling the dice and typing in his unique spelling, when my hands are full with something.

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 2:47 pm

I'll be there to find out if Hal and Thor end up dying.

Post by **Mike** » Tue Dec 01, 2020 2:50 pm

Pat says Thunderbirds are GO!

Tonight!

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Thu Dec 03, 2020 6:49 pm

Not tonight, since DMDarcs is under the weather.

zen · Post by **zen** » Wed Dec 09, 2020 4:35 pm

So... are we doing this week or next?

DMDarcs · Post by **DMDarcs** » Wed Dec 09, 2020 6:29 pm

I was planning on next.

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Thu Dec 10, 2020 4:51 am

That was my thought as well, in order to avoid conflicting with Christmas Eve in a couple weeks.

Phoebe · Post by **Phoebe** » Thu Dec 10, 2020 7:59 am

Also there's the fact of the utter breakdown of human functioning over here and total exhaustion and an impossibility of doing all the things in the 24-hour period available.

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Thu Dec 17, 2020 11:01 am

Tonight's the night!

Phoebe · Post by **Phoebe** » Thu Dec 17, 2020 12:06 pm

Oh my goodness, so excited. I really don't have time to fix my character sheet because as soon as I get my computer back here in a minute I have to go straight back to work all day. But I am so happy this is coming soon.

Nice avatar!

If we're playing tomorrow night, I may be a little late. My son may end up having his first swim meet of the season. We're not sure if it's that night, and if it is, whether it's home or away, and whether we'll have to work at it or are not allowed to attend. So basically there's a lot we don't know yet, other than something may happen, and it may happen tomorrow night.

DMDarcs · Post by **DMDarcs** » Tue Dec 29, 2020 8:56 am

The plan was still to play on the 30th, to avoid New Year's issues. Don't forget to update your character sheets!

Sounds like they have impeccable organization for this event.

If I recall, tomorrow night, December 30th, was the plan for our next game night, though...

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Wed Dec 30, 2020 5:26 am

He has a meet, but it's an away meet, so I don't have to work. They are live streaming it, so I'll be able to watch from home and be done in plenty of time for tonight's game. And since he's old enough to drive himself now, I don't even need to worry about picking him up when they get back home!

DMDarcs · Post by **DMDarcs** » Tue Jan 12, 2021 2:57 pm

Don;t forget, we game on Thursday! First session of the New Year, no Illian. What could possibly go wrong?

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Wed Jan 13, 2021 3:26 pm

I have a bottle of 12 year old Connemara Irish whiskey that I may crack open for the occasion! No pressure!

Have you figured out how to pour virtually? Because I SOOOOOO want a tall glass of that! I suppose I could go get my bottle of Tully...

Sorry, haven't figured that out yet. I can turn on my webcam, so you can watch me pour and drink. But you'll have to wait until the next time we are able to get together for GenCon to share some in person.

Good luck tonight, everyone!

So Illian and Dwyn, you missed last night! We killed Karzoug, twice! Or rather, we attacked and dispelled two projections of him. When I shot the first one with an arrow, he had a look of surprise and pain on his face right before it dissipated, and all of us holding dominant weapons that we dipped in the fountain back in Runeforge felt a surge of hatred for him. Then we found another projection of him further down the hallway, which Hal stabbed with his sword.

Besides that, we found a room with a very strange, rune-covered door, where the runes seemed to wiggle when viewed with your peripheral vision. Dothan tried to read the runes, and those of us standing near the door were all transported to some maze dimension. We seemed to be stuck there until Thor aced an intelligence check, then we all popped back into the room. So of course, Dothan then tries to touch the door, and we were all transported back to the maze realm, and stayed there until Hal aced an intelligence check. Then Hal used his Use Magic Device skill to open the rune door. And that's where we stopped for the night.

So join us in 2 weeks and find out what is on the other side of the freaky rune door!

Eliahad · Post by **Eliahad** » Fri Jan 15, 2021 1:12 pm

Anyone suddenly feeling that these dominant weapons might not be the way to go? Like, we might be calling back all the other Runelords?

Anyway, good work, folks!

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Fri Jan 15, 2021 2:09 pm

Nah. I've been having surges of hatred for Karzoug long before I dipped my bow in that fountain.

zen · Post by **zen** » Fri Jan 15, 2021 3:16 pm

And might I say that the sequence where Hal used "Use Magic Device" to open the door, entirely done in a private conversation with Pat, while the rest of us were discussing both finishing for the night and possibly having Anna come over and cast "Dispel Magic" on the door as a final event for the night, was both ENTIRELY epic and extremely true to life! We were all focused on the normal, "get the Archanist to cast a spell to get past the magical trap" concept while Hal quietly figured out how the door worked and opened it by himself.

I realized, much later, that I probably could have used Ranged Legerdemain and Disable Device to get past it as well, since Disable Device is supposed to be able to disable magical traps, especially at the level I'm at and being an Archane Trickster... but we just get stuck in the same way of thinking... Bravo to Bill for thinking on his feet!

Phoebe · Post by **Phoebe** » Sat Jan 16, 2021 9:14 pm

I am so sad that I missed all this awesomeness. I have to get in there and read the chat log or something. It's one of those things that is going to happen sometimes when you have kids, but I really wish it had not been this particular event.

Phoebe · Post by **Phoebe** » Thu Jan 21, 2021 10:05 pm

I assume we are not playing tonight but this is the first opening I've had. Unfortunately next week I am 100% busy Thursday until about 11:00 p.m. Eastern.

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Thu Jan 28, 2021 4:53 am

Tonight's the night we find out what's behind the door! Me and my gimpy leg will be there!

zen · Post by **zen** » Thu Jan 28, 2021 11:24 am

I hope it's not a goat!

Phoebe · Post by **Phoebe** » Wed Feb 03, 2021 8:11 pm

Not tomorrow, right? I hope not. I'm in bad shape. Next week though?

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Thu Feb 04, 2021 4:48 am

Correct, not tonight.

Phoebe · Post by **Phoebe** » Thu Feb 04, 2021 8:17 pm

This is good. I might be okay by next week. Things are kind of okay here but also not really.

DMDarcs · Post by **DMDarcs** » Tue Feb 09, 2021 7:52 pm

There is a chance that Thursday's game (2/11) may become cancelled. I am supposed to get my 2nd vaccine on the 10th, and all reports indicate that I will more than likely be knocked on my ass. I recently had some health issues, so I'll have to see how I am feeling.

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Wed Feb 10, 2021 4:15 am

Yeah for vaccine! Boo for side effects! No worries, you take care of yourself and your health first and foremost. Love you!

zen · Post by **zen** » Thu Feb 11, 2021 12:09 pm

Here's hoping that Pat is one of the ones who didn't get knocked ass over tea kettle by dosage #2!

Post by **Mike** » Thu Feb 11, 2021 12:41 pm

I saw him post elsewhere that he's glad he took a day off work. My Magic 8 Ball says, "Outlook not so good."

DMDarcs · Post by **DMDarcs** » Thu Feb 11, 2021 5:44 pm

I think I am going to need to take tonight off. I am much better than I was this morning. I was in the hospital 2 days last week, so I'm trying to avoid having to see a doctor anytime again in the near future and take it easy tonight. Sorry all.

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Thu Feb 11, 2021 5:54 pm

No worries! Sending healing thoughts!

Phoebe · Post by **Phoebe** » Thu Feb 11, 2021 8:14 pm

Very glad that you are vaccinated! Well worth it to wait a little longer for a healthy and happy and more covid-proofed DM!

DMDarcs · Post by **DMDarcs** » Fri Feb 12, 2021 5:13 pm

Oh yeah, definitely needed yesterday off. I am at near peak efficiency today.

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Sat Feb 13, 2021 3:54 am

Yeah!

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Thu Feb 25, 2021 7:05 am

So tonight's the night, isn't it?

Phoebe · Post by **Phoebe** » Thu Feb 25, 2021 2:56 pm

Is it tonight? I am busy until maybe after 10 eastern time - I will try to be done earlier if I can!

zen · Post by **zen** » Thu Feb 25, 2021 4:54 pm

As far as we know, tonight it is.

Phoebe · Post by **Phoebe** » Thu Mar 04, 2021 4:44 pm

Is tonight one of our night? I can probably do it. I will have to be doing some other things while it's going on but I can probably do it. I'm so behind at this point I need help to like get my character sheet up to date. I have all these thoughts about the RP part of it and I'm lagging at doing the numbers work on the G part of it.

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Thu Mar 04, 2021 5:30 pm

Next week.

Tahlvin · Post by **Tahlvin** » Thu Mar 11, 2021 4:51 am

Tonight!
