Expedition to find Corigg, the missing huntsman [Sat 27th Feb at 17.00 GMT]

1454973127

Edited 1455578328
Update: This session has been held and played with much delight. I will be compiling a log on the morrow; not sure I'll finish but expect one in the coming days. Thank you to the party and thank you to Stephen, it was a lot of fun! Forming a party to save Torigg the hunter who went missing in the Shadow Forest. The session will take place 6.00 pm to 11 pm UTC+0 on Monday 15th February. This scheduling has been run by Stephen and he has agreed to it. Please reply in this thread before the 18th of February. There was a misreading on my part when I formed this thread, the name is Torigg. Not Corigg.
A note written in a simple hand that speaks of practicality and precision sits pinned to the board outside the hall of the Blue Sashes. I, Syvil Dernsson half-elven, seek hearty folk of great courage and skill for an expedition. As per request of the good Meave of Westgate, wife of Torigg, the huntsman, I have taken it upon myself to lead an expedition to find said huntsman, who went missing in the Forest of Shadows not long ago. The promised reward is that of heirlooms from the forest realms and, of course, heartfelt thanks and good deed done. Expect our journey to be perilous; your safe return will not be guaranteed. Yet can we let danger stop our attempt? I have made my decision; what is yours? Yours sincerely, Syvil Dernsson Pinned underneath is a list where one could write their name, there's also notes on practicalities. These are inauspiciously numerous. I have made inquiries of the denizens of Haven and from what I gather these are the practicalities of our quest - we expect to be in the wilds for a few days up to a week and as such ample rations and proper gear for camping is a necessity. Further, the lands to be traveled are mostly uncharted and as such we cannot be sure what we will find once we enter the Forest of Shadows. I stress that it is vital for you to consider the risks; we need not those faint of heart or unwilling to face danger should it stare us in the eye. Rather I would see arms and armor brought and worn at all times and order while in hostile territory. Yet such are not the dangers we face that we can hope to overcome them all with martial skill alone, see the list below for further information. If we should find ourselves lacking in expertise the expedition will be aborted until such time we can find more companions. Finally I wish to make clear that there will be no disorder within the group. Should a division of wills arise the right to break ties in votes, and to enforce order in the party, will be held by me. Should any of these conditions give you pause, do not hesitate to reach out to me for a conversation. Knowledge in any of the following is favorable: Skill in tracking beasts as well as men Knowledge of the extraordinary and magical Practice in medical care of wounded in the field Familiarity with the Forest of Shadows Martial prowess; battle tested Experience with diplomatic relations and proficiency in various languages Affiliation with any Company of good standing Applications are open until the 18th of February at which point I will come by to collect this notice. Please make sure to sign your name, occupation, any of the requested skills you possess an address for potential interview and finally any Company affiliation and reference. To those who sign. Thank you and welcome. There will be a gathering at the tavern by docks on the eve before we set out. We will hold this meeting as to get familiar with one another before we leave, before we are to depend on each other. My funds are limited but I pledge half a silver worth on the tab for each member who attends. You hold the right to withdraw all throughout the meeting and forfeit such right at dawn on the day of our expedition.

I believe the campaign start date set is the 25th. As per the post seen here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2934159/how-to-s" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/2934159/how-to-s</a>... If I have made a mistake I apologize for any blunder on my part. Note that I have received confirmation from Stephen that the session can, and will, be held on the 27th. You would be more than welcome to join Joshua. For the record my real name is Simon, should you need it. I'm in GMT+1 so I will need to go to sleep now. I'll be active in about 10-12 hours.

My other game has gone on a week long hiatus so I might have time to run a Maladon session this weekend (Friday night, Sat or Sun 13th-15th) if I have enough players; so get your characters made and we'll see.....
Whether it be this mission or another mission and group, I would very much like to be a part of it.

Any dimensions we should stick to?

nope; I can re-scale easily I think
I would be interested in joining if possible, but I can only make it 1 hour after it begins since I am free at 7:00. So if I can join late I would like to.

Welcome aboard Thai; input your character into Roll20 using the online sheet; you find it by 'joining the game' and once you are in the virtual table top, looking for the Journal tab; you'll find a character sheet there and can make all sorts of rolls by pushing buttons instead of typing all the time....

Just a subtle warning; anyone without a completed character sheet or token who turns up to a session will be bounced out in favor of the next reserve who has fulfilled these requirements. We all have very limited time and I want these sessions to be clean....Please send me a picture or request a token well before the game begins and fill out your character sheets!! Reserves stand by........ Also; if you want to BUY anything or ask for rumors, pm me before the game so we can get all of that stuff out of the way or better yet, let's do it play by post here...................
i think i have my token already i but a picture in my character sheet&nbsp;

OK; someone asked me how many players I want or will allow in a session, and here is a basic answer; the first four players get to vote. I will not usually run with less than four; unless you are higher levels and adventuring near to Haven. Then you might live............ If the four founders (the first people to sign up for an adventure who turn up at the appointed hour) want more people and more players turn up, I will run with six or even seven in extreme circumstances. But all four players MUST agree to this and to the exact number of extra PCs going on the adventure. Since XP is divided up based on the number of PCs, this decision becomes yet another aspect of 'good strategic play'.&nbsp; Be very careful about adventuring with large parties when the risk is low; you will just slow your advancement down and get less treasure each. Similarly, if the place the party is venturing into is very dangerous , then taking more people may be sensible and even necessary because the environment DOES NOT adapt to you. Some warning of danger level of an area may be gauged by asking around Haven about a particular place...... you have been warned. When you have more gold, you may also hire NPC retainers to accompany you on adventures; though note that getting them killed will get you a negative renown score with the local guilds and will raise prices for hirelings and cause them to haggle for a big down-payment before leaving the next time you try taking someone with you. Hirelings do not get or share XP but they cost gold up front before the adventure even begins....prices on application.
I motion that the Forest of Shadows is unknown and dangerous both. I therefore ask if you, the other members of this expedition, would consider a fifth; preferably a wizardy sort.
Do we have a magic user? Im ok if so
I do not know for sure. Erwin's Kaar is an unknown to me. Outside that we are rogues and rangers I believe.
If ya don't mind putting me in for Monday on the reserves my character is a paladin

Kaar of the Dragonborn is a fighter I believe @ Sloth; adding you now.Can I ask you to send me a picture (for use of as a token) and to fill out your character sheet. You find it by joining the actual game and looking in the 'Journal tab'
That means we would still really need a wizard of some denomination. As to the token topic; I can't seem to keep my token between logins? Shouldn't my token be thing that shows up when I drag and drop my name from the character sheet tab?

I hereby call for a vote on bringing in a&nbsp; fifth member for our expedition to the Forest of Shadows. Current votes: "I vote for the proposition, with the comment that I'd like for us to bring someone knowledge and capable in Arcana." - Simon I (Svyil) Ithiloneth "yes we should have one more i dont mind if they are not magic as having a strong fighter to take most of the head on fighting would be great or even a healer" - Joshua S "I'm fine with another character maybe a mage if some of the rogues/rangers use melee weapons or a front line combatant if they prefer bows. One last thing, Kaar is a paladin." -Thai "I will vote for bringing a fifth into the party" - Zilarrezko. I hereby proclaim that we, the party, apply for a fifth. A wizard or front-line fighter is what's requested.
yes we should have one more i dont mind if they are not magic as having a strong fighter to take most of the head on fighting would be great or even a healer&nbsp;
also do you want me to send you my character picture or is having it in the character sheet enough?
