The Town of Odyssey

Actually, I'd like to do a short debriefing with you before you write a journal entry for this one. The mission ended up having implications for the rest of the campaign.

Okay. Bookworm and Tikvah each earn an XP for journal posts, and all participants in the hangout get 1 XP for roleplaying. -- Fri May 15, 2015 4:45 am -- Side mission with Tikvah: Package collection gone wrong. She earns 2 XP and 10 Nobles Pay, plus loot. Mission transcript: Continued by Package Pro...

A terrible sandstorm meant a lazy day spent sheltering at the Mean Minotaur in Great Oasis. That was the idea, anyway. Then a child went missing. And giant flying vortex-octopus crash-landed on the stables. And Olwen got eaten by it. But all turned out well in the end. Rewards: 2 XP a piece to Light...

Sorry about the delay in updates guys, I went down with food poisoning a couple days ago, so there's that. Bookworm and Tikvah, you each earn 2 XP for thorough journal updates through the last two sessions. Also, Bookworm has mentioned that he'll probably be available at 6 rather than 7, so if our o...

I've created a Character Sheets thread so that we don't have to dig through this thread to find them. If you can repost your character sheet to that thread it would be most helpful. -- Thu May 07, 2015 12:59 pm -- This mission was a disaster, or was it? The madman has escaped, but leaves a pile of c...

This thread is for storing current character sheets for the Ember Patrol RPG, so we can find them amid all the other posts. Please, keep your character updated.

Do not post anything beside character sheets (with XP logs) here. Keep discussion to the main thread.

You've been a very risk-adverse party so far, yes. Nobody has come within a long, long distance of getting killed up to this point.

It looks like I won't have time to run an alternate session this week, so we'll finish up this mission next week, and get back to regular Saturday sessions on the 9th.

This wasn't really a training mission so much as an informal we-have-time-to-kill mission. If you want to go on one bug me some night and I'll send you off to be eaten by grues. Also, I've posted some info on the first post about money stuff, so if you want to spend your pay on gadgets or help me ex...

Mini-mission, Ezra vs. Desert Ants. He earned 1 Mission XP and and 1 GM intrusion XP. 17:28 LIGHTNING is now known as Ezra 17:28 <Skid>: Okay. Your mission starts out from Obsid. You've been attached to a small trading caravan travelling to the Great Oasis. It's normally a safe route, which makes it...

Okay! Everyone take note of XP you've been gifted. In addition, Bookworm, Tikvah, and Lightning each earn a roleplaying XP for journal posts. That should bring most of you up to enough XP to get a new skill or buff some stat pools. And Lightning, please post your character sheet before your next ses...

This is on for tonight. -- Sun Apr 19, 2015 11:51 am -- And the mission is complete. Slaves rescued, bandits driven off, and cultists captured. Everyone who participated in this session earns 2 XP for general heroics, 20 silver nobles combat pay, and 1 XP that they need to give away to another chara...

If we can find more people who could play on Tuesdays it might work. I'm realizing that I might be stretched a little thin trying to GM more than one game a week though.

Looks mostly good. A couple things to note: It's helpful if you include the description of your ability with the ability itself, so I don't have to remember exactly what it does. And you'll want to pick up some lightweight armor to take advantage of your armor wearing skill.

Looks good, Tikvah. You earn a roleplaying XP. Bookworm just discussed spending his accumulated 4 XP on buying a silencing spell, so that should open up some new options when dealing with stealthy situations in the future. Some character development thoughts for non-lethal dealing with enemies: 1. ...

...or maybe I'll just make bookworm our official chronicler. That is indeed worth an XP.

Well, the first session went swimmingly though play was a little slower than I expected, and I really need to toughen up the bad guys because that was incredibly lethal with just two players. So we're about halfway through the first mission, with the big boss attacked while he was asleep in his own ...

Okay, we're delaying tonight's session an hour so that bookworm can join. So 7 PM PDT. Looks like we've got three people on the attack team if bookworm, Sameria_ZX, and Tikvah all play. Since we've only got a few people playing and they're all new, the attack group will have Commander Ursa as backup...

What time zone are you in?

Looks mostly good. Two changes: You should have 3 XP remaining rather than 4 XP, since you bought a skill for 4 XP. And It would be good if you added more detail to your bio. If you'd like I can help you flesh it out. Make those tweaks and you're golden. Having a detailed background story gives me m...

Ember Patrol will be played in #Gowers , using the Subcypher Ruleset . Recruits! Fresh faces of the Ember Patrol! From the Capitol to the coast, every caravan, every oasis, and every one-legged beggar is under your protection. I will not deceive you. This is a deadly commission. Marauders and beast...
