Quote from: Benoist;420358Gareth seems to really want to come along with you though.

Quote from: Benoist;420428Alright.

This gives us:

Trip 1: Gareth (because he really wanted to be on the first trip) and Ylarum first. Gareth might take a lantern as a light source.

If I'm going to sneak and move in shadows, taking the lantern all the time is not in my best interest Once I do the first recon, I can carry one, though.

If you're going down on the first run with Ylarum, you probably ought to take a lantern down with you, since you wanted his lantern bearer's spot

You got a point. A lanter bearer I am.

Quote from: Drohem;420427Ylarum's man-at-arms can wait, Rissthil will go down in the second pass.  I suggest that a PC go down in pass three as well (i.e., pair a PC with man-at-arms), and the porters can be bumped down to later passes.

yes,the porters/NPC's should go in a later phase. We should have all the classes represented ASAP to have a diversity of skills as this sort of deployment will take some time.

Trip 4: Nimten and man-at-arms.

Trip 5: and

Porters later on.

Cleric needs to be in the mix soon (healing/turning!) so since Runch has fighter and healer skills I recommend he go in group 3 if not sooner...

Maybe have Runch ask in the in-character thread about why Ylarum wants to have the porters down ASAP? (As yet Ulas is basically deferring since the buoy is ylarum's plan to begin with.)

absolutely... and not to be prigish,the idea was originaly mine though in that version we used empty kegs!

Right, it's why I referred to the buoy, could have been clearer, sorry. No disrespect intended!

none taken mate...strictly "for the record" ! anywho seems the first group is going down...

TDD/Ylarum already indicated in this thread that he is open to modifications in what he thought (as one of the players, not a caller) was a good arrangement to secure the place down there. The only thing that he wants for sure is to be on the first trip (which is already under way: Gareth and Ylarum).

You each have a say on the matter.

So, with your modifications what we've got at this point is:

Trip 1: Gareth (because he really wanted to be on the first trip) and Ylarum first. Gareth might take a lantern as a light source.

Trip 2: Runch and Rissthil.

Trip 3: Ulas Zegg and man-at-arms.

Trip 4: Nimten and man-at-arms.

Trip 5: Snade and

This is what seems to make the most sense as a compromise. Runch is on the second trip, and provides healing if necessary. The guys going down on the first few trips are all able to take some damage in a fight, if need be.

Basically what I'm doing is putting the PCs first. If that makes henchmen jump off their slots and go down later, so be it.

Othos, Smeads and Tudd still need to say whether they want to wait or take one of the henchmen's slots here.

A single trip is basically taking one turn. One turn to go down, one to go up, one to go down again, and so on. So there are basically two turns between each arrival down there.

roger that...2nd group unless someone has a better mix in mind?!

Alright: the first to post of Runch (skofflox) or Rissthil (drohem), roll me 1d100 here.

Ulas Xegg? Roll me 1d100.

Nimten? Roll me 1d100.

How do we work the rolling, again?

Go to http://invisiblecastle.com

Create an account.

Then click "roll dice."

You then indicate in the fields the name of your character, the campaign, the number of rolls, what you roll, and hit the submit button.

You then have the result of your roll, and you link it here.

This roll here basically indicates what happens during your descent. It's more fun for you to roll, I think (and absolves me of any responsibility should something happen to your character).

Excellent. Alright.

Othos, Smeads and Tudd still need to tell me whether they wait for later runs or take one of the henchmen's slots. See that post.
