Welcome!

Welcome to the game Lenore.

Hi Lenore.

Hey, hey!

Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?

Hi.  Oh wait...you were looking for Bueller.  I'll sit back down.

Hiya Osrik.  I've never played 5e so your in good company.

*ponders what to make*

Could we get a thread where all of the characters might have a chance to meet and talk before...you know....the thing happens?

Not really sure if it makes sense. The ship will get torn apart. We could lead up to it though I suppose. I wanted to have the group start on the island. Hmm. Right now with only 3 people, most likely the group wouldn't make it. Possible, sure if no dinosaurs aren't roaming about.

Welcome to the game Lark and Faen.

Warlock, Paladin, Rogue, Ranger and a Bard. Interesting group, ponders what to make. ideas?

Once done send me a PM and I will take a look. Thanks!

Apologies folks.  Having some difficulties finalizing my character.  I blame DNDBeyond and my lack of 5e knowledge...naw I'll just blame DNDBeyond.  :)

Everyone who has not done it: Make a Perception check please. Or can use your Passive.

OMG! Your going after the barr.....

KABOOM!

This will be a quiet week. Happy Thanksgiving.

Unfortunatly due to 3+ weeks of no activity, the cleric has been removed.

The monk left the game. Doesn't look good :(

I'll come up with a NPC and the warlock should join soon.

Also:
Happy Thanksgiving!

Everyone gains: Level up!

Think this game died :(

Welcome to the game Keith.

Owlin
Fairy
Loxodan
Human
Tortle

Probably going to make a druid but not sure of a race?

Merry Christmas to me!

Got one heck of a bonus and I got a raise!

Curious: Is Robocop/Alex Murphy considered 'alive'? How much of him is the 'real Murphy'?

Interesting topic.

Nazelkar welcome aboard or rather adrift lol!

Added a character sheet. Make sure to do all the race and class up to level 2. Thanks.

Welcome to the game Zy.

Looks like we got a interesting group so far.

Nice to meet yall :)

Hopefully I can eventually get my char's icon in rpol system eventually but for now this is as close as I could find to imitate a red kobold (better image in char profile lol)

Still at work but getting closer to wrapped up

Hows the characters coming?

Welcome to the game Argus.

Thank you!

Hello everyone :)

think char sheet is good :)

and hi to everyone!

Character Check:
Algus-Working on Character
Bralwynn-Working on Character
Lenore-Level to 2
Naz-Working on Character
Yawgo-All set

Hoping we didn't lose the ranger.

I'm not gone just recovering from holiday excesses.. will try get to business soon.

Quick notes-
There's a lot of bodies to bury. Got a entire ship (minus the group). Crewmembers. Not sure how many.

Where you going tp bury them? Burying them on the beach makes little sense. They'd get washed out.

I'd say if you want a shovel that's fine Lenore.

Figured atleast an effort to try doing so would make sense. And the idea was as above the tide line on the beach as possible

Quick Roll Call!

Argus is here.

Ghost brothers are litterally ghosts lol

Davy Jones locker!

(chuckles) The Tortle doesn't really talk :)

The kobold has about a week then will be removed. Tough time getting good people :(

Figured the bodies would get buried in time so skipped ahead. Leaving them would be bad. Or really bad.

(grins) Course there's a lot of blood, water has some in it, ect. Don't forget what was found.

Welcome to the game Kriv.

Thank you, thank you. Look forward playing in a game rather than running one. :)

Welcome!

Well being a ranger you know ocean water isn't safe but if you boil it....

And not sure of what Yawgo is but all you need is 1 goodberry and your good I believe. Migbt be a few.

Yes Lenore. You love the water. You do (grins)

3 Dirty Gore-Covered Shovels
3 Potions
10 Beaten up bords about 5' along the shore.
30' of hempen rope
Fishing rod but no fishing tackle
3 Barrels
-full of neat (preserved)-Yawgo forced Lenore to keep it closed
-full of herbs probably for cooking
-blankets (about 4), 4 containers of rum

Found inside several dead bodies-
20 candles
20 pieces of chalk
2 Perfume (woman)
Signal Whistle

The barrels are a decent size so it will take the 2 of you to move them easily. So just going to the rim of the forest I assume? And not going into why Yawgo left (had several reasons).

Everyone who is not done with the sheet, PM me when complete. thanks.

If Lenore agrees then she and Argus take the supplies and Argus is looking for an area of beach that doesn’t have gore or bodies floating around or washed up. Then we will go a little inland. Wherever that is, at the tree line we drop the barrels and search for a suitable place to camp for the night, preferably higher ground but we'll take what we can get. Then we will bring the barrels/supplies to the campsite. I don’t think we should be carrying around barrels while looking for a campsite both our characters are exhausted.

Think its funny how Yawgo can help out and then leaves because Argus 'ordered' him around after he just met him (well viewed it as ordered-he's a human after all) No one decided to go after him.

Nice lol.

You would have to go further inland to get to possibly higher ground. Keep in mind no one knows what is in the forest (other then Yawgo).

Probably missed it but there is part of the hull of the ship on the beach.

To me, they way I read it, your post where Yawgo left seemed so final like there was no negotiating it lol.

Sorry that I misinterpreted your post. I can make sense of our actions though, Argus has never seen a standing/walking/talking turtle before. He assumed incorrectly that that little guy would be unhelpful.

Oh he may be very helpful being a druid (grins)

Not really sure where your getting 'final'. Yawgo walked into the woods.

Can Yawgo forgive Argus? I hope he comes back.

Well that's a IC thing.

Not really weird just not inhabitated (so far).

If you want make a Perception check too.

Waiting on posts.

BTW when you level you get full max HP each level. If you are hurt and you level, you are still hurt just gain the HP for wheveer level you obtain. Make sense? :)

All set Kriv?
This message was last edited by the GM at 19:37, Mon 05 Feb.

Almost. I should be ready to go after I have finished the equipment.

9 total, 6 seen by the human. 9 seen by the half-elf. OOC info :)  Lenore just pointed out there's more but didn't say how many. You two are up in the forest near the beach but its a goood distance away and out of sight but there is a small stream near where the group is camping.
This message was last edited by the GM at 05:19, Tue 06 Feb.

Yawgo = Ookway + Yoda lol

Lenore and Argus: make a Perception check to see if you hear and or spot him.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 88):

9

20:33, Today: Argus Alanai rolled 13 using 1d20+3.  Perception roll to perceive Kriv. – 13

Cool. Keep in mind dragonborn are probably pretty rare. Probably have seen one before but not for awhile :)

Kriv: 6'-2" (always pictured them like 7 or 8' but eh)
Argus: 6'-0"
Lenore: 5'-8"
Yawgo: Bout 3' to 4' tall. He's small.

Decided to try and run a free form X-Men game if interested:
link to another game

I followed the guide. :)

Welcome to the game Andar, Elf Life Cleric.

Welcome Andar!

Welcome Andar.

Thanks.  I am here to keep everyone alive.  Hopefully that works out.  Working on the Character sheet now.

HA! Good luck with that. Kriv is going to be the one commonly running in. He is an interesting background to say the least.

Well they got the druid :)

Not sure why people are worried about food-you got rations.  if you find a dino that you want to eat, could be poisonus. Or any kind of berries, again could be poisous.

Course you got a Druid.

This is true but not knowing their capabilities I guess Kriv would do what he naturally does which is hunt for food, even with rations.

Yeah I suppose. But no one asked Yawgo how he survived probably alone either :)

I can see why hunting for food is better then rations. Rations keep you alive. Venison and fish are much better lon. Course there's no deer here so....

Unless you get lost, can't find a way back and get eaten by a T-Rex :)

Yawgo vs Argus. Fight :)

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 105):

I’m playing Argus like he doesn’t know how to effectively communicate with Yawgo yet. He’s used to the soldier’s life and a soldier he will be.

Stubborn humans!
This message was last edited by the player at 01:14, Thu 22 Feb.

Not sure but I believe I mention part of the hull of the ship no one checked out.

Oops. I assumed in my last IC post that we had that. I’ll edit it.

Shell is Yawgo's home when push comes to shove.

He's a tortle :)

Waiting on me?

Request: Can the PC’s post what their characters looks like and what gear they have on if they haven’t already done it? I don’t know what the party members are armed with and armored in.

Like that?

Yes exactly like that thank you. :)

I don't want anyone to 'rely on Yawgo' That is no fun for myself nor anyone else to be honest and puts more pressure on me as well. Group is fully capable of surviving-a ranger, a fighter and a paladin :)
This message was last edited by the GM at 13:32, Mon 04 Mar.

Argus and Yawgo: Very different worlds.

Kriv, you got torches and a tinderbox so not sure why you want to get more torches. Lighting them up in the forest during the day probably won't help. Lighting them up is also a beacon for creature to get curious.

Also you got three. The cleric is elsewhere. Doing stuff. And things. Warlock hasn't joined yet.
This message was last edited by the GM at 15:35, Mon 04 Mar.

I forgot about that sorry. I was going to use it as a possible way to create a distraction if we run in the woods and less as a light source. Plus we might go inside a cave at some point.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 115):

Yes indeed!

You get 'ordered around' by someoone a quarter of your age and expect them to do as they are told. got another thing coming to you. And the fact of the matter is everyone backs the human. Boggles my mind but eh. Who wants to back the NPC who has been around on the island for quiet awhile over a brash teenager who will get himself killed? :)

Need to add more to the deaths list mahaha.

Not really sure what is going to be found. A magical airship doesn't pop up and the game ends :) lol.

Kriv could follow the beach. Everyone is too busy getting on Yawgo's case.

Andar, feel free to post. You can see the Dragonborn coming from the woods. Can't see anyone else.

I was just hoping to do something useful. :)

Could try and pull the part of the hull up into the woods? Though its pretty heacy and sunk into the beach. Course scout the area, explore, find the T-Rex and get eaten....get ripped apart by raptors...find a trycerotops....

Lots to do :)

Not really sure how everyone is looking for food and yet everyone has rations to support themselvesfor quiet awhile. though having a decent fish or some sort of game does sound nice.

Yeah. My goal would be to grab everyone on the beach and start moving further inside the island to search the area. That's my goal at least not sure what everyone else wants to do.

Ok. Got to be more specific when you go further inland. The island just really has nothing but more bodies and part of the hull. Lenore and Yawgo grabbed anything of any real value but its possible there's some other stuff up the shore. Hard to tell. Most people on the ship aren't armed with +1 weapons or whatnot :) No magical boats.

And there is just one person on the beach-the cleric. Everyone else is in the woods. You took off without a word lol. Pretty sure that is what the human was going to do-get everyone and check out the island once a 'base' was made. I'm just going to say the base is done, everyone who has a tent took care of it, a area for a fire is made but not lit ect.

Yawgo will do Yawgo stuff.

Lenore. Ranger. Woods. You got it made right?

Waiting on IC posts :)

Forgive my dumb question. Is Andar close enough to the camp that Argus and Lenore can see him?

No. Andar, Kriv and Yawgo are on the beach. Lenore and Argus are in the 'campsite'. Right now your surrounded by dinosaurs I mean forest. Forest :)

I suppose with a high enough preception check he might hear someone.

Perception check roll to notice Andar 20

Far as you know Andar doesn't exist. You got no clue where the dragonborn is head. So not really sure why you rolled Perception as your in the woods, srrounded by foliage and whatnot. Far as you know Kriv just got up and left. Perception is to notice stuff in the immediate vicinity. Its not x-ray vision :)

Waiting on posts. Thanks.

3 day weekend.

Everyone gains: +1 Attribute

Happy Birthday.

For real? :)

Yup!

And for further notice:
Everyone heard it :)

Happy Birthday!!

Thank you!

I would imagine Lenore and I can feel/hear the ground tremors too?

Kriv please look at my post. The groups are together now. Its a beach with a forest, easy to get around. The beach is long and wide, the group can see them but they are at a distance of maybe like 50+ feet or more. Probably more. They don't seen bothered by anyone

Gotcha. Sorry missed that.

No prob!

Yup. Yawgo seems to be in awe and they don't seem to be running from anyone. Just wandering on the beach. If they were running the group would get trampled lol.

I shot ahead in a post to set up base camp. You got one. So not really sure why everyone keeps saying set it up when its been set up lol

Bringing the wood is a good idea.

Except for the addition of the planks, the camp is complete then :)

Yup. Everyone would have seen it. Not the best camp, just tents if you got them, maybe cooking stuff. Looks like well a small campsite.

I am planning to get fallen branches to use as a support for the planks. Hopefully there's enough boards that we can build a simple 'A Frame' hut with it and we can all fit. We'll use the rope we found to bind it together. We are building just a frame (branches) and roof (planks).

I would imagine I need to make a survival check to build it?

10 Beaten up bords about 5' along the shore.
30' of hempen rope
Fishing rod but no fishing tackle
3 Barrels
-full of neat (preserved)-Yawgo forced Lenore to keep it closed
-full of herbs probably for cooking
-blankets (about 4), 4 containers of rum

Found inside several dead bodies-
Mirror
20 candles
20 pieces of chalk
2 Perfume (woman)
2 Bells
Signal Whistle

Don't have enough wood for a a-frame but could use the rope to stick 10 boars together and hanging them above for some sort of shelter.  Might be able to find more probably further down the beach possibly. I'd say having 'survival' probably isn't in your suit probably but again you got a ranger and unknown to you yet is a druid.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 146):

Argus is proficient in survival but I see your point. Whatever way works the best to get us all under one roof right now works for me.

You got a tent, that's all you need right? If the group has tents that is. Not sure why your getting all worried about it. A t-rex can rip through it lol :)

I have no tent. An Explorer's Pack doesn't come with one. :(

Well if you dont got a tent you do now. 1 person tent. Doubt the king would send you out without one.

Thank you

Posted a items listed as well.

And waiting for most posts. Only got 3 people posting :)

Ok....

You have a campsite already made. I stated it ICly. Pretty sure. Nope Ididn't. Really? I don't want to do months of the group gathering up a bunch of stuff for a camp that will never be used and get destroyed by rampaging dinosaurs which is boring on all counts.

Could be cool lol

Alreadu. Everyone has a tent, surrounding the campfire which hasn't been lit right near a river good distance from the beach. Can't see it though. Most gear is in it other then whatever you brought with you. Yawgo has all his gear.

You can use the boards or whatnot to make it be more secure but don't have nearly enough of them. It's basically a small place to sleep. Most things can see it if close enough.

Campsite looks mostly like this but minus the tents (more old fashion). River width viaries, maybe 30 to 40' (smiliar) and there's a lot of ferns, brush, vines, ect all around the camp.


This message was last edited by the GM at 21:02, Tue 19 Mar.

You'd probabky be better fishing the stream by camp then at the beach. Salt water vs fresh water (I believe). Might not matter though but being close to the camp could be a better bet.

Well convincing the 17 year old kid he's not in charge is going to be hard then I thought LOL :)

Let's follow the 17 year old human said the 95 year old elf. I find it amusing.

Argus is a take-charge kind've guy. ;)

Argus is also the youngest of the group and shouldn't be in charge IMO.But if the others don't mind him that works. He does exactly what Yawgo (kinda stabs him in the shell Turle Power) doesn't like constantly even though he said he wouldn't like instead of listening to the others, he just does whatever he wants and orders them around without question. Like if a 50 year old and a 18 year old are stuck on the island, I doube the older man would do what his youngling wanted without question. Its not war. Even at war he wouldn't be in charge. Yawgo won't listen to him because in his eyes he's just a runt. He'll listen of course but doesn't understand how a 18 year old kid expects to lead all the time and not get questioned by it. Also he doesn't understand why everyone else who is much old doesn't question him at all. Boggles his mind. Maybe he can lead, not sure. Yawgo won't listen to him. He wants to teach him but then again some times the only way to learn is if something bad happens.

Don't get me wrong, I dont mind how you play Argus. Not at all!

I think its funny how everyone believes Yawgo has always lived here. No one asked. He's living here now but no one asked why, how, ect.

Hard for Yawgo to answer as he isn't there. See the post #117(IC) Shipwrecked

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 159):

Yes, I did see that.

My bad, read it fast and didn't see the last part.

Let me know if you need me to post. Figured the group was just talking.

Welcome Wexworth to the game

Welcome Wexworth Tinkertoy :)

Welcome Wexworth!

Let me know if you want me to post.

Hello! I have just finished my character sheet, I hope it's good so I can have Wexworth jump into the fun.

Please post more then 'just text'.

See the rules. Thanks!

With Kriv being a survival type person I vote for exploring the island more.

I definitely want to explore it more too.

And die. I mean survive. Survive I say! lol

Well then. Let's aim for that.

Question upon our deaths are we doing a rogue-like experience or are we going hardcore? Rogue like we would keep current experience level but create a new character upon death. Hardcore just start over from scratch.

So where you want to explore? Further into the woods? Follow the river (or both)? Back to the beach and follow it?

Safest idea I can think of character-wise is follow the outer edges of the beach around. Since we don't know the details of what is inside of the jungle/woods.

I like this idea. It'll still give us the lay of the land, even if not completely (the shape and general features, etc). We also stand a better chance of avoiding ambush's that way since we would be more out in the open I'm guessing/hoping. After encircling the island, if we are still alive, we'll explore inwards. What do you think?

I think this should get discussed ICly not OOCly. I really don't like it when things said OOCly get brought into IC issues (and vice versa)

I get it, you want to talk about it. I also feel like there are several other people involved other then Kriv to make a decision as well instead of Argus deciding on it and getting himself killed.

So all set? Something may happen during the night:

Andar:
Argus: Ready
Bralwyn: Waiting
Kriv: Ready
Lenore:
Wexworth: Waiting

I agree.  Follow the beach around and find all we can to help us survive.

I am ready to press on.

Yawgo isn't there for the group to learn all about the island. That's no fun. Plus no one asked him how he got to the island, has he already been in the island for years, ect. Plus he got upset with everyone not listening to him, specially the fighter :)

Posted for the warlock (secretly mwahaha) and waiting on Argus

BTW all around you are forest, a river and a beach some distance off. Can't really see any high ground from here so can just pich a direction. Or cross the river. Maybe follow it up or down. Following it down might bring you back to the beach. Or another body of water.

link to a message in this game

For future refrence make sure to not 'just text'. Thanks!

Sorry, will shoot out a post today or tonight.

So going to thee beach and walking along it or through the woods?

Looks like Kriv and Lenore made the choice. Beach it is! :)

Make sure if you are looking around to do a Perception check unless you want to use your Passive. Also be sure to post what you are doing in the OOC as well so I know.

Kriv, you can't really 'take the lead'. Your aren't in a dungeon but I get it.

Yeah more just the forward position.

BTW Andar, don't forget bout the box.

I think I am going to allow 1 more person. Think we need someone who is good with traps, opening locks, ect.

Rogue, possibly a Artificers? Really anything could work with the right set up.

We already have:
Elf Life Cleric
Human Fighter
Fire Genasis Warlock (Elsewhere)
Tiefling Sorcerer
Dragonborn Paladin
Half-Elf Ranger
Tortle Druid (Elsewhere)

I haven't but need a locksmith to open it since I don't have a key.

Well could have someone drop it hard onto the ground. Maybe slam it up against something. There's different ways. Course if its possibly trapped could kill someone. Or all of you.

Mwahahah.

Rogue or Bard would serve as a utility person.

So anyone going into the cove cave?

yes we are in formation moving forward to enter the cove.

on another note, a bard would compliment the group well, a rogue is necessary imho, but what I will suggest is another warrior type like a barbarian or something. We have tons of spell casters and could use a little help up on the front lines.

Yeah everyone was going into the cove yet everyone is already there so wasn't sure lol

Welcome to the game Char

Gheo let me know when done, same as Char. Thanks!

DM, I think Gheo is read, just let me know if you agree and if there is a particular way you want him to enter. Thanks!

Gheo: I will take a look.

Everyone: Sorry for a short post, been a long week.

Nice party ;-) Dungeon Master is spinning a magic yarn for us.

Yup, interested to see where it's going to go.

Magic Yarn?

I'm just coming up with this on the fly lol

Hi. >.< So, not everyone has a character Description page, and I'm like, pouty, because I like reading the players' own references for reference.

And just full disclosure to the party that DM is waiting for my completed character sheet. Also, I have only read the DM's game intro, and an OOC post where a player wished for a Rogue.

<.< [disappears in a pop of chartreuse glitter]

Well you will be starting elsewhere. Like Brandy. I might have you start with the sorcerer.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 202):

Hey, wishes do come true :-) I'll roll with it.

Thanks for the reminder Char.  I should put together a character description at some point.  :)

Nice. Thanks GM.

Charisma 15> 16 for me.

Yes, thank you! Cha 16>17.

Str 17>18

Thank you!

Thank you. Happy Mother's Day.


Wisdom. 16 to 17

In reply to Gheohorgiu Siniy (msg # 207):

If this includes newbies. No problem if not. 😊

Includes all in the game :)

Waiting on Ander and Lenore to post.

And so it begins with a possible death of Kriv lol.

I rolled initiative. Everyoner goes now and I can put them in order.

Gheo and Char: I will get you into the game soon. You will be together.

Wrong spot and he's ahead of the group towards the entrance.

Also please do the actual rolls. Thanks :)

Will do...

Thanks :)

Oops I forgot to add the +2 damage bonus from Dueling fighting style

Added it in.

Guess I should have made a more powerful dinosaur lol took it off the internet.

Thank you :)

Posted for Andar. Only have 1 HP lol so yeah it died.

Thanks for the post.  Work has been kicking my but.  Got a helo and airplane tore apart trying to fix some issues.

FYI-  Andars AC is 17 for your chart.

Should update your bio then :) Says its 16. Not a big deal.
