Organising: Dwarves and spiders n stuff

Post by Dorn »

To the folk involved in the quest with DM.kid.

As we left it we're in the Blade, and the prize is with another PC for safekeeping (who wont bloody well give it up!! :) ;) ).

So should we get together tomorrow (monday) at the same time to do the next bit?

I was there when it was in fact given up, so you wont need said other PC to complete it :)

Sadly i am not yet sure it was even given up...
I need to hear from other players who could not have been there due to OOC reasons.
(logging off to soon) and would have seen that chest safely.

Asked the players to PM what they plan to do so I could RP it when they do...
Not to go out and do stuff while not everyone who should be there (including myself)
is there.

So.. might just tottaly roll it back, or continue from wherever it was taken.
I'll have to talk with the palyers involved and see whats what.

I got disconnected because my internet crashed, as fundamental part of the original group i can say that my toon would never allow the chest to arrive to the hands it did IC and would have acted to prevent it.

....okayyyy. Seems maybe something happened after I logged? Last thing I know the chest was with us in the blade inn. I assumed that's where we would pick up there 'pretending' it was the next day going on standard approaches to dm quests run over several sessions. Hence my char saying "we leave in the morning" as everyone started disappearing.

Anyways sure it can be fixed :D . I'll wait to be told what's going on by you kid.

People actually left the next morning.

No... it's not the next morning if his toon is not logged...
events often take place in comic book time just to allow all involved to voice thier
opinon and RP thier toons.

I'll take an educated guess and say that if not for OOC RL problems what happened wouldn't have happened. So i'm rolling it back to that point at the blades when I logged off and we can move from there whenever all the involved parties can play.

(click for sarcasm)

What I am saying is that players, involved in your little quest-thingy, continued playing, even if Dorn wasn't online. Some halfling named Longshadow (sorry if I got that wrong) and Shad0wfax's PC continued playing. Unless it was specifically stated that no one was allowed to keep playing, then I don't see the problem.

A. Yes. it was stated, players were instructed to PM me what they want to do.
Not go out and do whatever they want.
Cuase well... Dorn and Rorax were unable to be there do to OOC.

(fyi Liam was never a part of the quest.)

B. it realy doesnt matter if you see a problem or not. I do.
And made my call. do you need me to repeat it? or did you get it the first time around?

I'm fine with rolling it back. I think for the sake of both continuity and the overall "health and morale" of the party, it's a very good thing to consider.

As for other people going off and doing things without the group, I misunderstood, and Shandri went off and did things with Bevan. I did not do this to cut anyone out of the loop. I thought that I had license to do so, because I misunderstood Kid's directions, and because Kid was online when Tha'is involved Bevan in the plot and then left the party.

I apologize for the misunderstanding.


There are several issues that may need to be dealt with, such as the NPC's knowledge of Shandri's presence in the inn (would they outright tell the party? party rolls a gather info? inkeep says something? Inkeep comes to GET Shandri when he sees the arguments?) and the ability for Shandri to hear loud arguing downstairs and come out of her room to respond. (listen check maybe?) These options was never offered to me or to the party. My character was cut out of the loop entirely from the moment she went upstairs and Kid was online for all of that.

Perhaps with the rollback to that point, these options will be available. If Kid wants to write Shandri out of the remaining plot and write Bevan into it, so be it. If Kid wants me to remain involved in the plot, I can work with you all on playtimes.

Liam tried to make himself useful for that end part of the quest (before Dorn and co logged), but that didn't work. In the end, his part was utterly negligible, and the interactions he had with the other PCs could have just as easily come about during a mail run or something. That being said... rollback and play it even if I'm not around, as my part became non-essential.

Hi

As the player that got the chest/box I thougt I'd write a little something.

I just acted in what I considered the most probable RP thing, I'm really sorry if this has in any way caused any confusion, I have absolutely no problem with rolling back/changing anything, I don't want to interfere in your plotline without your concent.

My toon carried/had the chest due to two other characters (both involved from what I can see) asked/payed him too.

If I can and you'll have me i'll try to be online next session and it can all be solved IC'ly, its the way I prefer.

Hope there won't be any bad OOC feelings from anyone.

Thank you

/Edgar
