OOC Chit-Chat

Starting a new thread for game-related OOC conversations, questions, et cetera. More or less to break away from the Welcome thread.

Kicking it off! I hope the flashbacks did your character's justice! We can always flesh them out as we play. :)

Nice! Yes, I like the flashbacks to set the scene.

Ok, so small village and we know that Naagdhar knows Sarona. I'm going to assume Igasho knows Naagdhar as Igasho likely delivered kills to him for curing, etc. Being the shamans daughter, I assume Igasho knows of Sarona.

Yeah, great start. I like it!

Yep! That's what I was going for. You all know each other, at least casually.

And we're off!

I may, from time to time, need a nudge to push forward if something seems stagnant.

Otherwise, I'll do my best to provide ample PC interaction before pressing forward.

Let's see what our brave souls do to address their captivity. :)

I wasn't aware that Naagdhar was in a cage. I thought he was just chained to a column in the center of the room.

So, can I attempt to kick the sack over to Igasho?

You are correct indeed! Please forgive.

Yes, proceed on with a DEX Save (DC 15) with Disadvantage (roll 2d20, take the lowest) given your current situation.

@SvanDerh
May the dice gods smile on you if you try and lift that knife! :)

yeah. I need it :)

Would we have any knowledge of what her plan is. So that we can distract the guard to possibly give her advantage?
Or, would we have had to discuss it prior?

Hah! Slick roll SvanDerh. Let's see how this plays out. :)

Woot! Nice roll @SvanDerh!

Yeah! That was awesome!

Who knew Sarona was so slick!? That's a wicked lift of the blade. . . :)

Yeah. Damn that was lucky.

@Sarkhanmad,@SvanDerh Ideas on what to do here? We're pretty stuck. Sarona has the knife, but the others probably aren't aware of that. I was debating having Igasho try and grab the mans arm and pull him into the cage, but not sure what that would do. We need someone on the outside that can act and subdue him, but nobody is available to do so.

Sarona wouldn't show the knife until the man is out of sight. But you could always have noticed?
I don't really have plans as well. Maybe stab someone when they come take us out the cages?
Uhm...?

Well Naagdhar is bound and gagged... Not much he can do.
(not sure how he managed to spit on the gaurd with the cleave gag... ?) Minor technicality..

Not entirely sure how he's tied to the column, as in, can I attempt to stand? Not sure how far away he is either... 10',20',...?

I got nothing...

Some ideas:
1. Wait till the man leaves and see if we can pick the lock on the crate somehow
2. Make all kinds of noise and see if they will come and let us out or open up some kind of opportunity to make a move
3. See if we can use our weight to slide the cage closer together or to Naagdhar?

@feanaro00 could we roll to see if one of our characters has a brilliant idea that we players aren't thinking of? :)

Why is Naagdhar receiving "special" treatment? Is that a clue? He was unattended last visit. Is he being visited exclusively on the next visit?

Possibly. Maybe there is something about his appearance or build or circumstances at the village which warranted it?

Hah. True. Must've been a bit of spittle. lol

Could be he put up a fight inside the village...? Maybe they think he is a threat. Well, that plus a random roll I made selected you. ;) hehehe.

Anyway, this whole captured on the ship situation. . . it, well. . . just hang in there. :)

Sure, why not! Maybe just go for a straight-up Intelligence Save. Let's see how that goes. :)

"straight up" intelligence save?
Is that similar to a "standard" save?

If you mean without bonus, can you just say "No Bonus"... Thanks

And also, stop taking our bonuses!
Hahaha just kidding, you're the boss...

Hah, indeed. It's a standard save. "No Bonus" So noted, I'll go with No Bonus. Sorry for my slang language. :)

Ain't no thang, homie.

With all the racket, maybe we could risk making a lot of noise? Maybe kicking the doors on the cages hoping to break them open? Or, would that be impossible?

Another idea is to just start yelling, hoping to get the attention of the attackers. Maybe they will be friendly?

If the ship is under attack, then the crew has an enemy. That enemy is then our allies? They will set us free?
So we wait until the battle is over, and then make noise. Of course if the ship sinks... well... Based on the narrative, I assume the ship has approached land?

Or they are just stealing the merchandise..?

Wait,... So we are the merchandise???

That was my thought too. We're being delivered somewhere and either pirates or good guys are attacking the ship we're on.

Good point!

@squid
You want to Oracle GM us forward? I'm dying to know what happens!!! Hahahaha

Is @feanaro00 still running the game? It slowed down a bit, so not sure if we're just in a slow period or if something else is going on?

Says last activity 8 days ago.
I tjink the game is dead in the water

Let's give them a few more days. Real life can cause delays like this.

Well, I think it may be safe to say this game is DOA.

Yeah. It was fun while it lasted
