From Alex: [Re: Vacation]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Hi Folks,
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>In a month I will
be away from the internet for a couple weeks. Of more importance is that
Scott needs a vacation. He has been at this for decades now and needs
some time off.
</b> I suggest that we take a break to allow Scott to recover
from burnout. Perhaps continue the game in mid-July?
</b> Also, Scott and my schedules are offset from each other.
If someone would be
</b> available to him on ICQ in the mornings that would help.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Normally don't do any vacation till sept-Dec.
But we'll see. Probably continue game anyways in some fashion.
Though Diablo Immortal for pc is coming out tomorrow...hmm
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Bess: [Re: Vacation]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>I've went through
burnout three times during my career as a nurse (RN). I am more than
willing to give Scott a well-deserved break. Taking a break now &
re-convening in mid-July or even early August is fine with me, if he
would like it. How about everyone else? Vacations are coming for those of
us not retired & having time to enjoy them would be good.
I would even be willing to give him a break through Labor Day, if
needed.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Hugs to Alex for
suggesting it. Scott's earned a break. I'll go with whatever is
decided.<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. I have no desire for a break. Not burn out
per se just priorities are changing. So unless you guys demand it
I'll continue. :) Once I do retire in 6-7 years I may stream rpgs
and do it live on twitch. But big issue there is time zones.
I'm fine. Things will be slower for sure but I'll get stuff
out. As I get motivated. It may take 2 weeks or so for a
update but they’ll get out. I need the stress relief. :)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Gerald: [Re: Vacations]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Good idea once we
are ready to play again let me know. I hate to have such an awesome thing
end forever but understand “burnout�. Nothing last forever. I won’t
post anything until instructed otherwise. Alex and Scott I’m thankful
to be a part of this and allowed to post and help the game and keep the
old school dream of RPG going. If this is truly the end it was a mythic
run by this club kudos. if not then time off is good perhaps wait till
august or September as well to really recharge the batteries.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>My days off are Â
Saturday Sunday I’m est time I start work 8:30 am Mon -Fri  not sure I
be the best candidate to stay focused and help also my life we my family
have a lot of “ Medical Issues� but iam willing to help Scott and
Alex out any way I can. Like I said it be shame to have this end but
fully understand and enjoyed the efforts of all involved and IMHO you all
get a purple star of RPG greatness.
Be well and I wish you all the best in life.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack No worries. We continue!!! Maybe a sloth speed
not a marathon as we did decades ago but we continue. :)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Gilbert: [Re: Vacation]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Please, take the
vacation and don't worry about this! Burnout is no fun for anyone.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Sorry if gave burnout impression not. Just
prioritizes have changed. After B-day and the school shooting I had
to reassess my to do list. So will continue game just as I
can.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Varo: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>Varo awakens
suddenly & half-sits up. Had she heard something? A …
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>The results of
the spell determine her next actions. She will raise the
</b> alarm if there are enemies close, shouting the direction(s) in
which the enemy lies/approaches. She will repeat the directions at least
three times before she stops shouting.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>While yelling,
she starts pulling on her leather armor, still within the tent, with no
light, as she quickly throws the chest piece & its shoulder
attachments on first, then the leg coverings & boots & begins to
half-buckle all it in place, never rising above her knees & listening
acutely for further sounds outside. She remembers the closest large tree
is about ten feet away SW of her tent. She will head that way for cover,
unless the spell says trouble lies that direction.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>If there’s
time, she grabs the belt with her rapier & puts it on, throws her
quiver over her shoulder, & leaves the tent, stringing her self-bow
when she reaches cover.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>If the enemy is
too close, she will just grab her shield & rapier for battle, once
she’s donned her armor & half-buckled it in place. (Tightening it
fully takes a few extra moments, which she will use if she has them.) She
will head towards that tree, or towards other shelter from arrows if she
cannot reach it safely. She will move away from the attackers’ coming
direction to gain a bit of extra time, or if they are too close, just
duck behind her tent & wait in the shadows until she can attack. If
there's time to string her bow, she will prepare it & use it first,
then rapier for melee.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>(Glad Scott is
willing to go on. I, too, get tired, but I enjoy this so much, it helps
keep me young.)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Sadly no sentries have taken steps to wake up folks
figure by now you'd have them do so but oppsie. Not was gonna quit
just things change priority wise. But I am recovered from the virus
so better.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Rocky: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Rocky awakes to
hearing a cry of pain. Grabbing his arbalest and looking to see where the
arrows came from he rolls behind cover and fires a bolt at an enemy
archer. [He was sleeping in 1 pt armor/padding.]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. If awake....
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Mournath: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Having seen the
direction of arrow fire, Mournath will attempt to move lateral to the
fire, getting cover where he can, and staying away from what fire/light
is in the camp so as to not be silhouetted for the snipers to find easy
prey. He will continue to move, trying to get around where he believes
the ambushers are. As he was on sentry duty, he has his full kit with
him, and so pulls his own bow and knocks an arrow in the case a target
presents itself.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack. Sounds good but no warning sleepers. :)
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Juno: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Juno if he can
and is awake and gets word of danger of arrows will try to find cover
somewhere and try to determine where and when the enemies is coming from.
He can use this information to get his bearings.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>if he can grab
his javelin and shield. He also will alert others if needed.
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>In his mind he
thoughts race and he makes a prayer “ O protect us from those who want
to hurt
us.�<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Or
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>If he is asleep
then he dreams of a place of harmony and peace heaven like where he is Â
happy!
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
From Rocky: [Re: Actions]
<x-tab> </x-tab><x-tab>
</x-tab>Rocky (if awake)
glances around (yea darkvision) grabs his arbalest, yells out directions
as to where he sees the enemy (if he does) and crawls to cover to aim and
return an aimed bolt (aims till end of round) at whoever is sending
arrows our way. After that he will grab and ready his shield then
his bastard sword and zig zag towards the enemy to teach them the error
of their ways.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
GM: Ack.
<x-tab> </x-tab>

<x-tab> </x-tab>[New
Stuff]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Wildday,
Fertility week, Storm Season, 1625, Genertela, Glorantha]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Time:
5:25 am]
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Round 3]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Another arrow whisks by Mournath but it impacts on the
ground missing him by a few feet.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Another arrow from the darkness pierces the flicker of the
campfire light and zooms toward Varo's tent. But as it gets near it
clips a branch and deflects away missing even the tent.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath moves to the side away from the light of the
campfire. He tries to scan and listen. The arrow seems to be
from the north and northwest of him. He tries to recall the layout
of the area before sunset. There were 3 trees in the immediate area
in that area that could be used for snipers. He grabs his bow and
prepares an arrow as he moves to the side and north. But he spots
nothing right away.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The other sentry, Klorgar grabs his battle axe tightly and
moves north toward a large bush for cover. Looks like the arrows
were more north west than north so he tries to move that direction.
He also tries to scan and listen for targets as he adjusts his vision
toward the trees but sees nothing yet.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath hears a snap but hears and sees no arrow.
Could the arrow have broken on firing? He has a better idea what
tree it must be so moves that way.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Another arrow flies near Klorgar's left should and misses.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The others in the party sleep soundly with no sentries
waking them up. Though it might be better not to make a noise to warn as
it'd be a easy shot as a target.
<x-tab> </x-tab>[Round 4]
<x-tab> </x-tab>
One arrow whisks and impacts on a branch near Mournath but a
good foot away.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The second arrow again seems to have a thing for Varo's tent
but hits the ground on the back side missing the tent again.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Mournath figures it has to be 2nd tree about 30 feet in
front of him. HE loads his bow and aims. He is happy when
amazingly in the wild shot he hears a grunt and sound of tissue being
ripped. He hits! Not sure how or what type of damage but it
must've been a hit. Now he can target it at full ability.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Klorgar does not hear the hit on possible sniper and moves
more to the north using bushes and trees as cover. All the while
scanning and listening.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
One arrow hits the tree a few inches from Mournath and he
smiles. This confirms the source of the fire has to be where he
aimed.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
The last arrow punches through a bush at Kloorgar's waist
and that gives him a better trajectory Looks to be a tree some 40
feet away he grabs his own missile weapon and prepares.
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM:
Actions? Comments?
<x-tab> </x-tab>
Next Update: Thur/Fri?
<x-tab> </x-tab>GM: OMG he
lives! Its finally out! Sorry its been a 1.5 months.
First couple weeks was busy. Next 3.5 I was sick. First 1.5
week too tired energy wise to do update. Family had covid spread
throughout. I got a glancing form so energy loss and dry
cough. By 7/4 I felt better 100% energy but still a bit
coughy. But then staff decided they wanted a 2 week vacation so no
staff to work on update so blame them. But its out sorry for
delay. Too early for wed update so will try thur/fri. On map
I put in a X Row A showing where Mournath suspects a sniper is located.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
I was expecting sentries to warn folks but never saw
it. So I spent a lot of time figuring out a Wake Chance. I'll
discuss the roll I used in discord in pbem channel. Highest 2 had
11% but ranged from 3-11%. No one woke up. Varo I'll give you
a bonus on possibly hearing arrow outside your tent unless sentries yell
out. I'll go back here to see posted actions which I could not do here
once you do wake up.
<x-tab> </x-tab>
You may notice some odd ascii characters in recap between
From...GM I never spell check it. Since its not my posts. It
is a direct email cut/past and that is why those odd characters from
email. If it is in main body I do edit them out.
