I don't even play 4th and even I knew that posion damage don't stack. 

 if a creature caught on fire, you can't make it more on fire because it's already on fire. 

My character is posion?

no! that statement was only a what if.

I have a weekend job so posting over the weekend can be slow for me now.
Getting everything set going into fridays would make it best for everyone and give me good starts at the beginning of the week.
I thought everyone should know this.

I'm Up! I will get to it right away!!

Oh! I see. TheDracon and Voy is slowing things up. I thought this was a minnium of posting twice a week. Ok, its seems as it is always. So until VoyRager let me know when I'm up again, I see y'all later, alley-gators.

Hi!  I'm Calcipher(or Matt).  Voy invited me to join you folks in this campaign.  I've posted stats for the Swordmage I drafted for this adventure on the other thread.  I look forward to playing with everyone.

@Everyone:
Say hello to our new player! Calcipher27!
Calcpher27 will be bringing in and playing a Eladrin Swordmage Bounty Hunter from the Lhars Isles as the new team defender.

As a couple of you already know, I will only bring in Constable Warranyt (Gnome Defender/Controller) or/and Constable Ed (Human Leader/Striker) using their full PC summary when the team is short-handed and need an extra body in the group to keep the encounter threats in the right difficult scale's range. All combat encounter this campaign is hard grade or worst by another angle. Warranyt and Ed are also NPCs that remained at the fort trending the fort cells while the players are moving about the region dealing with business.

@Calcipher27:
As soon as play your next turn; is as fast as I could update everything including putting up a new map.
Your initiative is 05 and your PC has concealment and hidden at Y34 but has no cover in the high grass while sneaking up on the battle.

Your next play or turn's in this round also could effects the warmaster last posted turn the turn intervene with the dragonborn committed actions because you are before the dragonborn in the initative order. The 1d20's rolls order made by all PC's and NPC's are irreplacable and unalterable.

QUICK SUMMARY OF THIS BATTLE:
One of the ambusher (Harry) was an escaped enemy from a previous battle in which the heroes collected on his brothers in then placed behind bars. Harry has join forces with this ambushing draconic slave trader led by a big muscular Dragonborn name Warmaster who is using his prized bloodsport breed of lizardfolks for this ambush. The Warmaster and Harry have openly challenge Flint and Warranyt at the start of the battle but there seems to more going on undisclosed or undiscovered with the halflings' (Harry) family relations and this Dragonborne Slavetrader yet this is known only to two of the palyers whom witness a clue but doesn't know what.

The Warmaster looks to be a Dark Six agent trying to collect on a foul mark (aka bounty price) that an Dreadmaster's Acolyte of the local Mockery branch's has called in on the Fort Pordown Constables. This means Flint (played by Welby10) and Warranyt PC (Filling in for absent Vault's alumi of Whatami and TheHumanhydra) are these ambushers' and the foul mark primary targets.

Our new player is roleplaying a Good to Unalign semi-popular Eladrin Bounty Hunter known along the coasts of the Thunder Seas; who is also a friend of the young gnome constable Warranyt.
====================================================================

Each of the players submitted background stories dictates how players role-playing interacts with each in the game but out here on the OOC and RL we're just gamers.

SO WELCOME  TO THE YOUNG MERCENAIRIES CANPAIGN, CALCIPHER27!
I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT TIME WITH US.
SIGNED, V.

Welcome Calcipher! Glad to have a fellow defender again.

To the party: The Warmaster is taking a whopping -6 to attack rolls right now, and is bloodied. Taking him down may demoralize the rest of the redspawns and end the fight now. We are running a bit low on healing rescources (Hana has 1-2 more I think) so encounter powers would be good to use now. I plan on using my own next round to try to keep that -6 penalty on the Warmaster for another turn.

c/The Games1's situation. Show

Its kinda my fault but there's will be a penalty like, like,...

Play left-handed for awhile (Y'kno what I mean)  that's with no more Defender Aura's including its opportunity actions benefits and no more Bloodcut's Resist 10 until the end of the next combat encounter and those two free actions recharges will cost a healing surge per which also will be unrecoverable until after the end of the next combat encounter!

Yeah, yeah,  I know but hey I can devise that one-hand tied behind the back conditions or any other trick phrase that comes up just because its like I was saying! "KINDA!!"

LET THIS BE SO! SIGNED THE DM!

I'm hoping both Dossk and Belen will have posted by Friday night. If not, I will speed things along.

Not quite sure what to make of Salmon's absence. Hopefully it means nothing.

Last thing I want to do is have to find a replacement (those familiar with Dreams of the Forgotten will understand why that would drive me crazy).

ditto and crazy is understatement for me also but I can't wait until Friday yet will give Salmon the same allowance given in Salmon's favor in the other game.

(OKAY SINCE I HAD TO ROLL IT FOR YOU I GOING TO BE THE FIRST TO THROW TOO... SALMONOFDOUBT THIS STINK!!)

Here the Static Mote Rolls Show

 (Even with the CRIT where its at, SalmonOfDoubt is in the game role of a stink because I had to roll it!!!)

Here's the public apology.
I'm apologizing to the players I'm playing with here because I should have asked about the Bloodcut Armor Item Power instead of using it like I did then waited for someone to correct me about it.

I've also made a comment about been able to take on this game with my PC having one hand tied behind the back and was called on it! I can only hope that by taken on this challenge isn't going to be an inconvenience for any of you here playing in this game.

If this little challenge is such an inconvenience then type it is here and I'm certain this will be called off by the DM VoyRager. Thank You.

THANK YOU!!

And everybody thank you for playing. V.

Everything updated!!

THEYCALLEDCROW/HANA YUR UP

@Wellby10:
Yep, I Know but this escaping map exercise is something that the team must have an answer for or idea on what to do about it for reasons that will be totally clear inside the The Mockery Hideout.

Alright, to get this off my chest I've never ever played dungeons and dragons before. On that note, I'm very interested in playing, and I'm setting up a character right now. I'm having Voyrager check it before I post it to makes sure nothing is wrong. Hope to play with you guys soon!

The lvl2 game I've letting you joined will make a perfect basic training for you. So, relax once you build a character sheet unassisted save the literatary instruction; the game mechanics will seems too easy to learned as you play.

As for tactics and teamplaywell that's your teammates job to teach you that stuff. Its the building part thats tricky and did a good job with what you built.

P.S.
I going to hang this posting at the game forum you getting into to wet your toosies so everybody will know what coming in and ready to work with you.

Thank you for signing on!!

@TheyCallledHimCrow:
Will stop gawking at it and readied then tackle that lizard as he pass by the first time!! I sure Newt and the others will come up with something while Hana is holding on!

Howdy guys, looks like I'm gonna be joining you fine folks. Please keep in mind though that I've never ever played dungeon and dragons before, so if it's up to me to make a move, I might message whoever is online and ask them if a move I'm making is legal. Hope to have playing with you guys!

Welcome Cantaris.  Glad to have you along.  You'll get the hang of it in no time.

Welcome! Hope to make your first D&D experience a great one. 

Cantaris: Welcome to the game!!
I play DnD at the tables but learning these news in playing.

I find its best to ask Voy what my character is looking when he says "I'm Up Next" before posting anything and taking my time to read all the information when I learned where to find it at!

Its easy to play!! So, have fun!!


Crow: Buy some shackles too.

VoyRager: Any kind of mount found In Eberron?

@Games:
Yes any type of mount you can afford but without the Mounted Combat Feat there will be attacking penalties.

What this, no format for the turn but you right its your end of combat turn so no combat actions in the turn does means you still have to! C'mon!!

Also I wanted to surprise everyone with what I'm doing with SalmonOfDoubt build but fine I'm hitting Newt first, too. That's is if Salmmy don't show up and refocus Gar's intents back to safe friend.)

I told ya wha' ya "looking at" is a contagious form of typoeing. (Now that you understand, I do apologized and please once again feel free in correcting my lazy typing style with style again.)

@Wellby10
You has a Setting bonus of The Mounted Combat. (Everybody whom was in this game as long as you have would at this point.)

@Crow:
We waiting for your DC check with Religious, Nature or Arcana for the stone on the (→Radiating Lizardfolks necklace←CLICK HERE)

@Calcipher27
The first attack miss and the second hit but that Lizardfolk is still moving.

@Karsaroth
Can you officialized your last turn. Its an optional for Azer to joined Newt in dealing with Gar but what Games1 didn't mentioned in all of that was that the crossbow is loaded.

Yeah, all of this been partially worked out but its really up to you players if you going to leave Gar there at the Crossroad (Salmmy have a map.)
As long as I'm concerned since SalmonOfDoubt is reading all of this without telling me or you guys anything then I going to treat Gar as Salmmy left him, attacking everyone!!

@EVERYBODY ESPECIALLY SalmonOfDout concerning SalmonOfDoubt:
I have mention deranged in the private way to AllGame1 and madness on the IC thread concerning Gar's IC situation but I haven't address the SalmonOfDoubt situation until now.

I'm really going to enjoyed what I'm planning for Gar and since I'm so sure that Salmmy is reading our game from time to time, I am also sure Salmmy will return as soon as either time is found in that party's Real Life (=RL) situation to post like that party preferred to or that party decides to spend the five minutes when there's time to ask us to help keep his PC's beneficial-wise in this game with the idea that we don't look at how many times this assistance is requested.

Until this is resolved Newt/AllGame1 is correct there's something wrong with Gar/SalmonOfDoubt on the map.     

@Cantaris and EVERYBODY
Welcome to game! Dude!!
As soon as these guys' PCs shackled their prisoners, search everything and deal with the SalmonOfDoubt, maddened PC, they will joined you at the fort in Ann Marne Inn's pub (→on the New Mercenaries Thread ←CLICK HERE)

Your PC will be the new guy that the human clerical constable, Ed has hired.

@Everybody:
Make sure to post your purchase list here on the OOC/HQ's Thread after you guys role-play the conclusion of the battle you're suppose to be ending.

Does that mean I'm going to get an Opportunity Attack against him?

Was the first attack an opportunity attack?

You asking this only mean you in pursuit so I must ask What square did find yourself on at the end of your last turn (which must been a charge attack) because your assumption of the locaton of the second melee(?) attack is only correct if you running alongside the lizardfolk?


If so would that make your second attack in which did hit with your regular turn?

Also If you are taking to pursuit, I will advise you against that by saying don't leave your teammates behind because its dangerous without them yet if you do leave the map boundary then its E, D, C, B, A, AA, BB, CC, EE, type of sequence going above the map boundary.

(These lizardfolks don't have a bounty on them in Darguun or Zilargo anyway but if you capture them there a temple in near Karhashan in Q'Barra run by Dragonborns priest who would like to take them in and make it worth your time for delivery them alive and healthy.)

I moved, 6 squares then charged for an attack, then spent an action point to make the second attack.  I have no intention of following off the map.  I was just curious if I got one more shot before he left the map.  According to the last map posted I started in Q39 and moved to K34 then I charged to E28.  In the same round I spent an action point and used the standard to use Frigid Blade(second attack) to slow his movement.

OK, Since this battle was moved up from it normally schedule time to aquainted and test you new players in PbP format and introduce you to hard grade PbP scales it's alright at this time to stop and look at what you suggesting to do.

Your first attack miss (Since the lizardfolk was shifting from Warmasters Superior Tactics Power) shouldn't been a OA but since it missed I didn't bothered to posted note of it.

During the lizardfolk next turn the little guy did a double-move and a shifty power (minor action) to arrived at D28.

Your PC pursued him with a move and a charge attack(?) which would hit yet you mentioning the attack slowed the Lizardfolk so this matter just became interesting.

As a charge attack; with the exception of free and no actions there couldn't be anymore action for that turn so unless your second attack was a power that can be used in place of a charge attack or a ranged attack, the second attack roll presented must been the action point making it a double-move to E28 instead of the E29 I thought you went to.

Now the Lizardfolk is slowed(?) and after a minor action of Shifty power and a double-move of 4 squares total the Lizardfolk is barely off the map but...

If you want this pursuit a battle between your PC and the little guy who isn't even bloodied then it would be fair if I warned you that I must let the little guy defend himself which would bring a Short Sword attack with the lizardfolk quickness advantage intacted. This can leave your PC badly hurt, poisoned and proned while the lizardfolk with Warmaster's Superior Tactics in his mind exits the map during the Warmaster's place in the initiative order. (Proned creatures can't make OA so you looking a proud wagging tail moving away from you in the slowed condition)

Well, are you that much of a demented battle-hungry sick puppy to demand this showdown with the Warmaster's Bloodsport trained contender, Newbie?

Nope, at this point with him moving off screen at that pace I'd let him go and return to the group binding the Warmaster, the priority target.  I was really just checking to see if I needed to make one more attack against him before he got "off screen."  Technically Frigid Blade doesn't slow it reduces movement by my Con modifier if he starts adjacent to me.

Are we heading back to the fort, now?

If we isn't then how about pming me on what I am looking at and do avoid writing the post like you did last time. I'm now enjoying the posting part with the fighting.

Voy has a thread up for the fort and posted we going there, so I'm going there with Gar. Are the rest of you coming?

I think the jumping about to new threads is confusing me. Voy, maybe you could give us a heads up before you switch to a new thread?

I'll post in the next fews days when I can get a chance. 

Hi all,

How are we going to split the phat loots? I don't see any specific things in there that Azar would want especially, so if someone could work out the correct distribution he'd be happy to take it in treasure/healing potions etc. 

@Karsaroth:
See now you one step ahead of me this time.

@Everybody:
Calicafs get Warmaster's bounty all to himself unless he wants more?! Then he have to throw the Warmaster bounty into the pot and indulged.

@Crow:
Your Dire Wolf is waiting for at the fort! have your cash ready and please examine the pebble penchant and buy a shield if those in the spoils is too big!

@Everybody:
Its time to buy mounts or ride doubles with someone. The shifters had your orders before you left but I didn't so tell me what you expecting to find waiting for in the morning.

→WE WILL BE ON THIS THREAD HERE WHEN SHARING, SHOPPING AND EXTENDED REST IS DONE MAKING PLANS BRINGING EACH OTHER TO DATE AND COMPARING NOTES! ←

I'm claiming one of the short sword and the thieves tools with the mirror with the pebble as a Symbol Of Scorned Fate. Also if its 280gps loot and 1600gps bounty divided by 5 (since Muziki gets more for some reason I don't understand!) then its really 376gps each making my total gps balance for this game 221gps.

This is how I've found this total:
205 (My previous balance) + 376 (Loot) = 581 - 360 (for the peddle enchantment) = 221gps leftover.

Is buying a mount a requirement?
If it isn't and someone esle does then I will buy a horse for 100gps but if it isn't a requirement and no one esle buy a mount then I won't either.

How did Crow get 1000gps for a dire wolf? If there's going to be a team's loan for the wolf then I must demand we charge Crow interest with it!



  

OH, OH! I counted from level 3 instead of Level 2 my bad. Will adjusted those XPS, sorry about that.

I'm not sure why Mizuki has 100 more GP than everyone else either. . .

Updated On The IC And →At Your XPS' Center←CLICK HERE

Forgotten earlier that I already own a horse.

Purchasing two pouches and making a claim on one of the healing potion. Since I have a short sword and a pebble I know others have more rights to the potion.

I will have no objections If Cali throws in 500gps to have fair claims to the loot and gps.

Are all of the other loot from the previous combat encounter before us available for us?

This is my new PC summary using the new location systems that haven't been mentioned here yet. Is the summary alright?

When the Character Sheet thread is unlocked, it will be a quick pm away from been posted there too.

I suppose Flint will purchase a horse as well, since it seems we will need mounts. Health potion might not be bad either. I'll update my sheet soon.

As it seems to be the way everyone is going Mizuki will also aquire a horse.

I will pass up on the other healing potion if someone esle wants one.

Is the other award items available from past teams from the XPS thread list? If so then I'm claiming the Ghost Dance Weapon. 

Well, I'm guessing we waiting for some players to check in. I'm pming to find out what to expect if another player drops.

If everybody is watching and waiting and doesn't want to do the skill challenge then I'm submitting my skill challenge rolls as well as voting we move on to the The Mockery's Hideout without a map.

I must have missed or not fully processed the skill challenge post.  Where was it?

@Everybody:
My WotC's  PMing function just went down and so Welbs' message is been delayed.

@Games and Everbody:
Remember your Passive Scores are active during non-combat period more than less of the time.

@Welbs:
A Foriegn Crest!!? is as far as I went with the translations and the more will be pm to you as soon as the pm function is back up.

@Cantaris, Calcipher, Crow and Karsaroth:
Your input on the New Mercanaries thread is needed at this time. 

Newt just nodded her head after the waitress did that?

If we waitng for someone esle to admit they understand that document besides Voy then its obvious by now that none of us are looking forward to admitting this nor care to address it if we do understand it.
I can also see the wrong in been like this about it but we all must admit that we shouldn't just sit here waiting around like this.

So, how this for a suggestion: Post up the next combat map and lets skip the challenge?
Do that and I will be quick to roll an Initiative. 

I agree with AllGame1. This skill challenge is taking very long. What's the hold up?

AND SO IT BEGINS:

Since everybody didn't want to buy mounts I will have to ask now what was your mode of travel to the graveyard?

Since we travel on foot, it should help with stealth. Is anybody good with sneaking? 
We could send in a few scouts before we go in.  

That's certainly not going to be me

Yet, Crow right!!
Now who isn't afraid of graveyards? 

I'm not afraid to check it out, I just know my sneaking isn't all that great. . . but I'm more than happy to check it out

Alright. Check it out and if you run into trouble then retreat by to the gate. 

As Requested Here It Is (←Click Here)

Flint signal us on where they are. Should we do a surprise round before they do their's. I think if we attack at least one of them first that should prevent their surprise attack, Do you? 

Sounds good. The boss looks dangerous, more dangerous then the last one. 
We should try to take out as much enemies as possible before the actual combat start.

Edit: Screw it. Leeroy Jinkens! Is it just me or the enemies have more hit points then us?
Is that normal for 4e?

Most times during the final confrontation, YES! and normally outnumbered too!!
Its good thing we have healers...
..Oh!! Its looks like two of these enemies really must be dealt with quick!!

Did the approach of the hobgoblin and drake trigger my readied action?

Along related lines does the 7 damage she took factor in the Resist 1 she gets from her Rapier of Defense?

No, and your Readied Action will let you act during the surprise round
You should roll the Frigid Blade atack as a precursor in your posting for your turn.

Deducting the Resist 1 and marking that on the tracker.

Hi guys. I'm sincerely sorry for barely having played in this game. Real life happened and I had to step back a bit. I'm back now, but not going to be quite so involved for a bit. Consider this a formal resignation from the game.

Thank you for both the times you were in the game and especially for the times you returned.

As I said to you before, this activity is meant to always accomodated real life never the other way around so please return anytime you like.

(Your PC is now the crazy mad arcane bomber - constable at a fort in Southern Darguun of the Eberron Plane.)

Good Luck and Happy New Year! The SalmonOfDoubt. Signed V.

Sorry about the lack of fluff in that last post, I ran out of time.

Here!

Everywhere esle moving. Is this moving? 

Ok, I send Welby10 a 48 hour notice to play or I will do his turn.

Map And Tracker Updated.

HANA AND NEWT UP!!

*looks at the tracker*

I see we are badly wounded and most of the enemies haven't been touch. I honestly think we are going to die. 

Not much I can do about a caster rolling twice to hit for up to a third of my health at range every turn, who weakens you when you get close, on top of the six highly accurate melee enemies we're taking on that I need to try to distract from the party. Voyrager is known for challenging encounters, which can be enjoyable, but I think we've just been in a string of bad luck which has compounded the situation. It doesn't look good.

VOY!
Entanglement should be a two-way grab or no grab and the warrior shouldn't be able to move more than two squares from the target while his flail/whip has a grabbed condition. (Its in the book Welby10)


CROW! PULL!

Strenght Attack vs Fortitude 17.

If a hit on the mount dismounts then maybe a pull should proned the rider on the ground too even if for no damage.
A hit on this attack it provokes an OA from Flint
Hit or miss, will you please use a minor action to untangled and move action to shift away from the chief.

Newt will use duelist with the touchy clawfoot after you done this and then move toward Hana and once in ranged will use Step Together Power to teleport Hana and herself over to help Mizuki next round, so delay your turn next round. 

I got a 19, but not sure if Fort check is correct for Str vs Str or Dex? It's 4e so I don't know. 

Am I still entangle after I pulled the goblin off? 

@Games, Crow and Everybody!
I see it. Ok its good, but only immediate after a Minor Action is used to end the Immobilized and Can't Attack Conditions then the pull condition can be attempted as the Standard Action as explained in this spoiler box.

Move a Grabbed Target (From the rules' pages) Show
Also if the warrior let go of the weapon as a Free Action and an Opportunity Action when the standard action to pull the holder of the weapon as a grabbed target is attempted then the attempt is Auto-Miss.

I will allowed the pull versus mounted creatures for only one square, dismounting proned and no damage.

Remember this will be two-way.

One more point: Holding the flail stringy end while in an adjacent square of the creature holding the other end of the long flail will leave you vulnerable to a basic garrote attack and that grabbed condition isn't a question of a simple entanglement!


@Crow
Hana just pulled a Dharkaani Warrior off a clawfoot with a Strenght Attack with a modifier of +0. (OMG, Z!!)
How many squares are pulling the warrior. Are you going to release the stringy side of the flail weapon when you done.

Also: Since you can't target yourself with the Shield of Devotion Power,do you want to saved it for later use or use it to target Mizuki?

@Welbs:
You're Have An OA!!

I guess I'll save the shield of devotion for later and use the healing word to heal myself. 

Crow? Hana have a move action and Mizuki is bloodied as well as alone over there. Why don't you have Hana heal Mizuki and then move into cover or hide. Hana can heal up next round and come back out fighting. Our PCs will keep the enemies busy while Hana is doing all this. 
Newt is out of range to help Mizuki before the next time he is attack so its up to Hana.

@CROW:
Mizuki needs a healing surge and that shield of devotion is in range to do that. If Miziki takes another hard hit this round then it will be over because one of those warriors must be bloodied for their vulnerabliity to kick in.
No pacifist in his/her right mind will stand there and let others get kill when they can do something and Hana looks like she doing that!. Help Mizuki, help the others like an honorable passionate fighter, sir. 

@EVERYBODY:
RL just did it again, and this time i won't be able to finished this until tomorrow; gotta to go Show

Karsaroth, if you manage to land a hit on W1 he will drop (5 hp left after Flint's turn)

*Sigh* I did my best.

Azer's Action Point retained! Two downed!!

MAP AND TRACKER UPDATED.

@Karsaroth
Are you retaining your action point since your target was destroyed before you use the action point to target it again?

How was it killed? I thought it had 5hp left. Not that I'm too worried about it

@Welbs, Karsa and Everybody:

Oops misread targets entirely with the Inevitable Shot targets and this does mean Azer's action point is gone.

Ok, I've updated everthing up to the bloodthirsty warrior triggered Flint's mark and waiting to see how this will continue.

Spirit's Rebuke is an encounter power and isn't auto-triggered so I leave that up to Karsaroth to use.

Never mind with the SR, I should have read the trigger more closely.

The turn posted and I have edited the previous turned showing the unsheathing of which shortsword Newt is using and thank you for the no action switching hands and the one free DC check per round.

@Crow:
One of the warrior is about to fall if you sneeze it way, so be careful to don't accidently do that. Newt brought Hana a shield if you come and get it. (It have been clear for you to do this.) 

@DM

Does the goblin need to make a Dex or Str check to snap that weapon on me?
I am holding his weapon, so basically I have as much control of that weapon as him.

So should the saving throw be the other way around? 

I am just using the grabbing rules here.

The goblin needs to make a Dex or Str check to over power me and use the weapon on me
or
The goblin neds to make a Dex or Str check to free the weapon from me.

needs a strenght attack aka a bull rush to get you to let it go. The half damage is going to keep on coming as a minor action until that bull rush is successful.

And will be no asking of you to let go of the weapon either and since the strenght attack is a standard action and neccessary to wrestle it away from your PC, there shouldn't be any immediate serious threats from the creature on the otherside of it but your PC is vulnerable from attacks from the other creatures near by.

I also really should penalized your PC's defenses against those attackers but I decided for the fun of it against doing this for I'm curious on if your PC removing one attacker out of the main scheme in exchange for the half-damges per round is going to be worth it and what you going to try next.

btw... Yur Up!

Map & Tracker is updated (throughly)

Calci, Welbs And Karsa Y'all Up In Any Order!!

@Wellby, if You don't mind I can take over the mark on the Warchief, since my mark ability prevents damage and can be enforced from up to 10 squares away.

Go for it Cal, I can try to hold down the warriors and mounts

I AM BACK!!! ON MY OLD SCHEDULE!!

Azer and I still need to take turns it seems; I wanted to see how close M1 is to being downed after his turn before I take mine. However, it's been a while since anyone has posted...

Well, it's been fun, but it looks to me that this game is dead. Thanks for the game all

Seems that way to me too.  Thanks all!!

Hello, You Good People Of The WotC.
In the beginning here at The Players' Vault I was appling some wild ideas I came up while sipping my after-work evening coffee at the local Starbucks thinking they all was playable in the DnD universe but soon after putting them in play here at The Vault I soon found myself reverting the ideals back to a more regulated DnD base and what followed became such an imtoxicating type of commitment that I had to forced myself to break away from it in order for me to find focus with my hobby's true meaningful purpose not value in real life. My real life. In other words I need a vacation from the Players' Vault's activities in order for I to find focus with other commitments I made in life.

Since this forum (as well as the DnD PbP Tutorial Forum at the Real Adventures' Forum) faced such doubts and resistance because of its near-homebrew settings and structuring all of this made this unforseen, unscheduled and unannounced vacation decision easier to make and do. Especially with over 90% of the complaints and conflicts I was enduring on a day to day basis here at the WotC started in The Players' Vault by past players and have spilled over into other play by post forums that was effecting other past players of my forums and the present players' in my forums alike as well as my other activities in the other forums; I found myself thinking that its may have been in everyone best interests especially those involved here at the Players' Vaullt with their future DnD gaming to close my forums altogether yet I finding out that I was mistaken on these particular grounds.

The three storylines at the The Players' Vault and the designed tutorial PbP Adventure game at Real Adventures' forum all have an unique DnD game structuring and this style of presentation have grown beyond my "At the Starbucks' table scribbling in a notebook" into its own type of DnD adventuring aa well as grew bigger than my authority to simply end it.

So I'm apologizing to all of you for believing I have that much control over your activities here at the WotC and I'm apoologizing to those who been entertained by simply watching everything unfolds in my forums and lastly I do apologizes to those who been awaitng for the release of the complete pdf file of the "The Players' Vault's" storylines module.

Signed Geo. E. Burks (AKA VoyRager of The Wizards Of The Coast Online. ) 
=======================================================

I guess the best recourse for me to do about this situation right now is simply shut up and play!!

and its looks like a ROLL CALL!! is in order once again so if you still with and ready to complete this adventure just post on this thread this four-letter word:

HERE!

Thank You, V.

1 of 5

Confuse what's going on but here. 

Hi, Crow, that's 2 of 5

and looks like its going to be a start over of the entire campaign.

The entire campaign? Wow, I wonder what happens. 

I was hoping something new or at least a conculsion of what happen to our graveyard battle. 

The problem with this campaign is there's been too many players exchanges happening on this single storyline. If all the players was here from the start, we would have breezed thru these concluding encounters with a good conception on what and why must be done.

Even before I hit the wall working with this forum; with the exception of Welby10 who been here the longest but wasn't here at the start, all the rest players was relying on me to cued them in on what they should know and doing because of the lack of experencing the beginning plot building phases.

I'm offering a start over so the game can be played by the present playuers in a more organized flow.
