[Ptolus/AD&D] OOC Thread #1

Oh no, it's cool. No need to apologize. The NPC is confused. I am not.

Good enough.  It was still a terribly jumbled line for my part, however.

Probably mine about the confusion as well. So we're even!

The Ptolus Calendar:



Thanks to Eric Blische, aka Eric of Ptolus, for hosting the handout.

[Benoist]

Just think that, despite the late hour, you guys have a whole city around you. The inn isn't isolated or anything. So if you are thinking of alternate ways to accomplish your goal (getting down that 500-foot hole), using different types of supplies, it's not impossible to get them. Don't hesitate to be creative, in other words.

[skofflox]

great idea to post that calendar!

hey,I have a request...could everyone put their character name in their sig. in the color they post in-char. speech?

[Benoist]

People seem busy brainstorming over the whole "hole situation" here. Hehe.

[Benoist]

So.

I read Ylarum would like to get down with his men-at-arms first. How's everyone feeling about this?

Assuming you can take two people at a time down the well, could you tell me which couple goes first, then second, third, etc?

Who would be manning up the machinery?

Who would be manning up the machinery?

How much manpower does it seem it would likely take?

[Benoist]

How much manpower does it seem it would likely take?

Oh. Using the system of pulleys and hoops already there, which are undamaged, one or two people. One manning the machinery itself, and maybe another checking out the ropes as they slide along the hoops, to make sure nothing goes wrong. Cadfan and Angharad could take care of the last people getting down (Cadfan is really, really old. He would be able to man the machinery once, maybe twice but not much more than that).

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States.  Happy gobbling and all that.  I apologize for the lull in my posts; I was travelling most of yesterday.  Today won't be much better because I have to eat all day.  I have about two more hours or so before family fun begins.  

Othos will cooperate with the bucket plan fully.  He will help lower folks and has the endurance to go for awhile.  He surely wouldn't be pushy to go first, but he will want to be down there before anyone tries anything too dangerous.  He has two more cure light wounds prayed for.

[Benoist]

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone in the US!

Today's probably going to be slow for the game, and that's how it should be, so that people in the US don't feel like they missed critical information or events here because of the holiday. RL trumps the game.

Here's a map of the Empire of Tarsis, so you can see what the lands surrounding Ptolus look like, and what they are called:



I also played a bit with the pictures of your characters' miniatures, and that is what I came up with:



I know there are miniatures aficionados here, so if anyone wants the references for any or all the miniatures included here, don't hesitate to shoot me a PM.

That is all.
