General OoC discussion

So should we keep to our cover story about being Berthold’s retinue?

I would say yes, but I believe there is a DB badge that we all carry.

Those badges were an idea that still needs funding and production. I think we came up with a possible design involving a silhouette of a raptor and a sword, but that's about as far as we got. Olpert doesn't have the money for it, given the focus on building us a proper guild hall.

We were given the veteran DB names, so "Morton" would be familiar; we just weren't told what they look like.

Not hours just character creation. I am a geek that way though. I like reading the adventures. Dell is Chase's identical twin brother.

Dell will take his dagger back then look to Morton"Her name is not Sara it is Sora and it is Dungeon Buster not Dragon. You make yourself look worse every time you open your mouth."Dell will shake his head. He will look to Berthold and Antonious and shrug."You deal with this double talker. I am done with him but my eyes will be on him at all times."

Excuse me as I have a rotten memory problem. It is easy for me to make mistakes. Such these are examples of such. Please do not associated such to the character.

I apologize, I am roleplaying Amnestria as being ignorant of who Morton is. She wasn't paying attention to what people were saying outside during the battle (evidenced by her reports to the retainers), and she was upstairs when any introductions were made after the battle.

I also don't like using OOC to inform my character's intuition. I *know* OOC that Morton is a Dungeon Buster, but until actually meeting him Amnestria can only infer who he is based on limited information. All she saw was him running through the field with the bandits and saying something. Whatever was spoken of downstairs, including the name-drops of Cecily and Olpert, were out of her hearing.

That said, I don't recall Amnestria interacting with Morton prior to her coming downstairs and asking everyone to tone it down, so I'm not sure where the idea of "preventing [Morton] from rejoining" came from. If you're referring to her inner thoughts that Morton might be a bandit, I'll remind that those are inner thoughts and that she's simply formulating a hypothesis, and hasn't yet seen evidence to suggest she is right or wrong, so reasonably she would wait and see.

Be that as it may, I'll remind everyone else that English is not WanderOne's first language. So please be patient and give a little room for error when reading their in-character posts. Perhaps treat Morton's Imperial/Keolish as a foreign dialect.

You came in like you were in charge so I believe our characters are acting appropriately.

I don't have an issue with Morton rejoining. Sora, however, is a bit offended by his forward attitude.

Agreed, a party like real life will not always be in full agreement or get along all the time.

Happy for Morton to join up, he has great experience our group requires 😁

Unfortunately Antonius is a little out of it to be involved in the conversation.

I too am happy for Morton to join the group. The PCs were warned that not everyone could be trusted and I’m role playing Kazzak to be initially suspicious of everyone. Kazzak did thank Morton for healing Antonius.

Same here, @wanderone, I’m happy that we’ve all finally met, and that you are rejoining the group. Whatever comes out of Berthold’s mouth is what a person who’s never seen Morton might think, under the stressful conditions in which we have met (Berthold has been downed twice this day, once by the bandits and once by the zombies, you could assume he’s a bit on edge).

EDIT: As a lone traveller aware of many of the dangerous things that lay ahead, Morton has much to share to increase the party’s chances of survival. But if he comes across as evasive, arrogant or bossy he’ll alienate the people who stand in the way of him getting some much needed rest and perhaps easier passage to Hochoch.

I guess Morton feels very alone and exhausted. But he can’t expect to be greeted as a saviour, or even as an innocent traveller, given the circumstances in which he has met the new party members. For his own safety and future prospects, he’d do well to be forthcoming and direct in his answers, unless he suspects us of being bandits, or in league with the cult. But if so, can he afford to be evasive or disagreeable with these people he’s just met mid-combat, and who might decide he’s a risk not worth taking?

Dang, I hope Sora go to stabilise Dell first. What a horrible string of rolls, Mathias0077, that sucks!

Must be paying for all the good attack rolls I had the first zombie fight.

Hey @spaceseeker19. Just to clarify, as Antonius did not spend his HP dice previously he can roll it now before the long rest to gain HP?

And do I add CON modifier to that roll?

Dell has also not used his HD roll.

Sora has not used her HD roll, but is really too tired to do so.

First, Antonius DID use his hit die, after fighting the bandits but before the zombies first attacked. So did Sora and Berthold. Morton used his much earlier, just after dawn when we was almost killed by zombies (nearly 24 hours ago: he hasn't been able to take a long rest since then). Everyone else still has theirs.

Second: yes, when you roll hit dice, you add the character's CON mod to each die you roll.
