@Cu Chulainn no worries. Hope you feel better soon.



Recruitment is under way and we may well soon have a healer. Likely I will be co-ordinating with @Cu Chulainn and our other new recruits to work out a sensible way of getting the party all together. There may be some fiddling with backstories and such potentially.

In the meantime, characters are currently entering the Dungeon. So far:
• Auchtend the delicious Horse entered the Dungeon
• Lauk has entered the Dungeon
• ???
• ???


Aurix and Ardour are still to enter, along with our new characters when they are joined up properly (some of them may well start in the Dungeon).

Entering the Dungeon takes 10 turns going down and the same going up. It should only be a couple of seconds realistically.

Beat me to the punch ;D A warm welcome to @POOHEAD189 and his eldritch knight character Markus Flintbrook!

I usually don't share meta information, but I think as we have some new folks joining the party, here's roughly what we're thinking when it comes to adding them in. @Cu Chulainn @kingeditor @POOHEAD189 Feel free to correct me or add your thoughts, that goes for any current players too:

@POOHEAD189 Markus will be following the party into the dungeon at the bequest of Esvelle Rosznar. Markus has worked with Esvelle and, particularly, her brother before, thus knowing what he looks like and what his usual tricks are. Esvelle has asked you co-operate with Markus.
@Cu Chulainn's character is a survivor of a previous delve gone wrong. They are near the very start of the dungeon, but might well have some information about some things to look out for.
@kingeditor's character Voldalus was vouched for by Jhimas, who considered him to be an upstanding Life cleric, unaware of his past. Voldalus is travelling down with the party. Your character has likely had a very brief meeting with him shortly before dungeon entry, as in a quick exchange of hello's, before you're all plunged down the well.

The hope is for the party to slowly organically mould into one cohesive group, but no need to force it.




Jhimas, Lin and Atanese had to splinter off after an emergency mission - Atanese discovered some information regarding his sister. Lin travelled with him for her deceptive abilities and Jhimas wanted to keep them safe.



Mechanically, @Lauder@Vertigo@kingeditor@POOHEAD189 can post their dungeon entry as they're ready. Once @Cu Chulainn's character is ready the party will either stumble upon them or they will stagger into the party.



Final thought - @Lauder@Vertigo do you need another GM post? I know the IC was left in a bit of an unsure place after we had the party change at a key moment. If you're struggling to work out what's going on, I can do a quick timeskip/slight retcon to make the situation a bit more manageable.



So everyone is aware, @Ellri has received some information regarding the Dungeon as he's the only one currently down there. No one else knows what he's seeing just yet, wOOOoooOOOOoooo *other spooky mysterious sounds*



Also a welcome to @Salty Spitoon, who might pop up in the OOC now and then. They're our first reserve and port of call if anything goes a bit squiffy <3

@Lauder No worries, just want to make sure it's not a confusing situation.

If you want to prep your post so that it ends with Aurix landing in Dungeon, that might be the best bet. Although if you want to spend longer in the tavern that works too. @Vertigo For you as well, actually. If everyone ends in the Dungeon next GM post will be the start of the crawl proper.

Gah! I am sorry, but I won’t be able to get a post out for this. I’ll subtract the gold for going down but my creative juices aren’t there for writing a silent lizardfolk paying for her and her horse to go down the pit.

I’m sorry, but I’ll opt to just move forward. :[

Sorry for the delay, last week suddenly got way busier than I thought. I'll get Ardour down into the dungeon tomorrow for sure.

Also, welcome, fresh blood new people! Ardour would like you all to know that you can trust him with anything, yessiree.

@POOHEAD189 I appreciate the enthusiasm, but I need a link to the stat rolls on RPGuild before I can officially accept the sheet <3 <3 <3

@Lauder That's totally fine in this case, things got a little messy there. I think if I was a player right now I'd have a bit of writer's block ;p

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS AURIX GOT THE HORSE INTO THE DUNGEON.

@kingeditor Looking forward to it! Let me know if you need any clarifications. Quick question: How long has Vodalus been hanging out in the tavern?

@Vertigo@Lauder@Ellri Right, so I think the best thing to do is I'm going to make a GM post interrupting Durnan's antics, allowing the party to enter the dungeon with minimum theatrics this time round. No need to name the party just yet as by the time you re-emerge party-wise we'll look alot different :D

After repeatedly forgetting to fix the inventory stuff while at the computer with the PDF on it, we decided to move Lauk's Inventory to a google sheet.

So much easier to update, and it calculates burden automatically.

Updated my gold for Achthend going down and payed 2 Gold for Aurix. Will likely have a post up today or tomorrow!

Edit:
Decided to be generous and pay for the entire party to go down. Also going to lead Achthend to the back wall to get his saddle on him when Aurix gets down there.

@Mae I was thinking about that, and I had the idea that Vodalus decides to join the party not entirely out of his own free will. What happened was, he found out while he was in the tavern that the church authorities had caught up with him, and were closing in on the tavern. He searched frantically for exit points, but found church agents coming through each one.

Then, he sees an adventuring party about to go into the dungeons. He grits his teeth, reviews his options, and decides that his only way of escape is going into the dungeon. He frantically yet amiably approaches them, and offers to join at the last minute before they descend.

So to answer your question, I guess he's been in the tavern a decent amount of time (especially if he was enjoying having drinks bought for him thanks to the sermon he performed in the town the previous day). But he only met the party at the last minute.

How does all of that sound? Does it work?
