Really a clash of social class more than anything.<BR/><BR/>I do have some idea's on how we can overcome things, I just don't think Ethan's ready yet. Soon though.Wimwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15908502652403640356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775466405673408362.post-41456616336615167042008-09-04T17:42:00.000-04:002008-09-04T17:42:00.000-04:00OK.

You all take short 1 hour shifts at first and Sterling takes the rest of the night on his own.<BR/>The order is Delian, Ethan, Nenia, Jonathon and then Sterling.<BR/><BR/>During his turn Jonathon leaves his armour off and takes a big risk going to free the goblin (as suggested). It is actually fortunate as the little bugger had come to and had was very near to cutting his bonds with a dagger left from the battle. Misreading Jonathon's intentions he begins to quake and wail for mercy. Jonathon is able to calm him. Then with a final warning he frees the goblin. Weak and sore, the goblin quickl turns and runs out the entrance into the darkness.<BR/><BR/>Upon returning to the group Sterling is rousing from his mental studies. He looks at Jonathon but when now explanation for Jonathon's departure is forthcoming he ignores it and begins his duties on watch.<BR/><BR/>Delian, Ethan, and Nenia are exhausted from the days events and don't stir during Jonathon's watch.Suddryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004869127282830427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775466405673408362.post-74636269780294623862008-09-04T16:57:00.000-04:002008-09-04T16:57:00.000-04:00I think Cary understand what I mean.

Discussing who made what spot check is boring.<BR/><BR/>I'm not interested in making roles during the week to see if Jonathon notices Ethan following him to the church (as posted previously) or have Neil role to see Ethan notices Jonathon sneak out the door to leave keep his word with the Hobgoblin. etc, etc.<BR/><BR/>I would suggestion one of two options. Either automatically assume stuff written on the blog succeeds or give absolute discretion to the DM. If the DM doesn't have time to recap what happened on the blog he can let us know at the beginning of the next session.<BR/><BR/>That's just my humble opinion of course.Celestial Bisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822268463679452059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775466405673408362.post-27447881035750291982008-09-03T22:14:00.000-04:002008-09-03T22:14:00.000-04:00I agree with Rob in that we should keep much of wh...I agree with Rob in that we should keep much of what is occurring in the blog, in the blog.<BR/><BR/>If Rob let's the goblin go free, I expect we'll fight him again and that will have some interesting role playing in it's own right.<BR/><BR/>Having said that Ethan would volunteer to take a turn doing the watch. Just because Sterling can, doesn't mean he should. That's my 2 cp, looking forward to more posts this week!Wimwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15908502652403640356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775466405673408362.post-19006460529409491742008-09-03T17:02:00.000-04:002008-09-03T17:02:00.000-04:00I can't tell you enough how much I love reading th...I can't tell you enough how much I love reading these things. This one is almost good enough to be a recap!<BR/><BR/>As far as your plan I need to know if you guys take turns on watch or does Sterling do it all? He doesn't need sleep but as a Warlord he may require time to focus inwardly on tactics and his powers.Suddryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004869127282830427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775466405673408362.post-28967199577846476072008-09-03T15:46:00.000-04:002008-09-03T15:46:00.000-04:00Awesome post Rob!

Use your judgement and do what makes sense to improve the story.<BR/><BR/>Obviously, if someone notices and makes enough commotion to wake the group I won't leave. I'll just grumble under my breath, looking at Ethan and Delian while not speak to anyone until the morning. This was to add additional flavor to the characther. Maybe Ethan wakes up just in time to see me sneak back in. That would be cool. Or I free the Hobgoblin and we later fight him again when he joins the hobgolbin boss. Hey, maybe the Hobgoblin even does something to free the group after my act of kindness to save him. The story potential is limitless. :)Celestial Bisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13822268463679452059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775466405673408362.post-29754785137411733122008-09-03T15:21:00.000-04:002008-09-03T15:21:00.000-04:00Great post, I had a few coworkers look at me funny...Great post, I had a few coworkers look at me funny when I was laughing! <BR/><BR/>I want a perception check to see if I notice Jonathon leave!
