The Long Road: OOC

[Catodon]

I will be posting the next round's outcome Sunday evening Eastern Australian time. If you don't post before then I will put you on defensive to represent allowing the creature to flee into the night.

[Catodon]

Given the low response rate I'm going to leave it another 24 hours.

[Catodon]

Bolo, Kaze, Grandmother, Vashkar: are you guys out there?

[foproy]

here, just nothing to add.

[LordKruelos]

Is it safe to say we've defeated the threat even if we have not killed it?

[Catodon]

OOC: you have earned the full xp
IC: The predator is still out there and is still hungry but it would have to be insane to take on you bad-asses again, right?

A few things.  Firstly, looks like with work and other commitments it is likely that most weeks I will only manage one post a week rather than the planned two. I will try to post twice per week but cannot promise. I am however still commited to this project and will continue to run every other adventure as per the original plan.
Secondly, we seem to have players gone AWOL. In order to prevent this project from dying I’m taking the following measures:
*I will recruit players to take over current characters of AWOL players (Kaze, Grandmother, Vashkar).
*The current scene originally was planned to have player track the kidknappers with failed checks costing time and having consequences in terms of fatigue  and the bad guys getting on with their plan. This was intended as another opportunity for characters to use abilities beyond combat. Instead, I will move to the final fight, the second last scene.
*I will be recruiting for the next adventure so there will be no gap between this adventure and the next while the next referee and new players are found.

I have to go be a grown up for a few hours now will move the IC thread along later today. mumble mumble stoopid bein' grown-up, stoopid laundry mumble mumble, stoopid groceries, mumble, mumble kill, killl them all, mumble mumble.

would anyone in these games care if i replaced the path of nature with one of the other paths in lord k's alignment? seems to fit with the character better.

Tht works for me

Fine by me

Given the characters haven't been in play long I'll allow this. No problem.

[foproy]

i am not looking to change anything in the immediate. just later on down the road if these games continue.

Still here, just got a bit too absorbed by Diablo 3. I'll resume posting in the IC thread.

Any chance of a map / diagram?

I'm thinking we get Grandmother to levitate Killishandra up to the cave mouth with Bolo's rope: she's big and strong enough to heave everyone else up while Vashkar watches her back.

[Catodon]

I don't think there is any need for a map. THe valley is about a mile across and filled with big blocks of ice and huge boulders making it really easy to get to the base of the wall unseen in the dark. The ice cliff is about a mile across bordered on each side by granite mountains. The ice cave seems to be lit by a fire within and is about 50' up.
You can't make out much detail in the dark.
It's Friday here and the weekend is my best time to post. Just sayin'
If you propose a plan rather than a suggestion I will control characters of missing players who will generally go along with any non-suicidal plan. So, want Vashkar to fly up? If so where to exactly?

[LordKruelos]

So something like...
The Glacial Valley
?

I keep getting an ad for google.
