I have to work on that tomorrow.
NAF1138 confirmed, he will be returning. Hoorah!

Hoorah indeed!
Sweet, will be good to have him back.

Hey all!
Good to be back, what have I missed?
In a word, lots.
Good to see you back again.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
I'm part way through the Character Update. I need to save time and for now on the Word Doc will be sent out with all the characters on it. I don't think this really upsets anything in this game anyway. (I checked, there was one issue with Deor, but it is resolved.) Mulligan's and Gilraen's secrets are long since past.
Very happy to have you back NAF1138. Your biggest pickup was probably a recently required wand of light that you need to get recharged, but for 2 charges, charges your helm. It makes your helm a very powerful weapon vs. Undead.
I am up to Deor now, he has made 9th level and will now have spells of 4,3,3,2,1 (yep, 5th level)
I could use a fresh spell list from the casters as started. Ithilneth and Drindoleth should prep for Marsh/Undead.
Luzi takes the lead with Rorimac behind or next to her.
What is the rest of the marching order for double and single? Give me an estimate of spacing.
Sala will gladly go where ever you wish, even back. I assume Gilraen and Thoroncir will be near each other with Mulligan near both from the above.
Here are the members and their riding speeds
Not sure what Bitur and Rorimac have been riding.
Minor note, party is an unlucky 13 but perhaps the critters will avoid the bad luck, otherwise Bitur and Gwaelur in particular should be nervous. We can still add mounts and another NPC, could be as simple as a Sea Knight.
Gil-Gandel Cúran 30"
Gilraen Kali 30" & Scout 24" & Missy Night guard but not a scout.
Ceol Leofwin 24"
Thoroncir Baygir 21"
Luzi 24"
Ithilneth 24"
Drindoleth Hound The Wolf 24" & Large Owl as Night Scout
Sala 24"
Deor 24" & Folca for scouting.
Mulligan Riding Pony 15" & Freyja for Scouting
Gwaelur 15" & 15"
Bitur ???
Rorimac ???
Just go with our past marching and riding order, now with Luzi out front with Rorimac, and Sala bringing up the rear? Malacandra, what say you?

Bitur would be riding a regular horse (assuming 1st Ed. follows mount rules similar to 3rd Ed.) Not being the mounted combat type, he's not going to fight on the thing, so he wouldn't bother investing in a warhorse, but he probably would look for a horse that wouldn't immediately be skittish during an ambush, so he would at least get a chance to dismount.
*Suddenly has flashbacks of the "Dwarven Warhorse" from Knights of the Dinner Table.*

Welcome back, my dwarven brother!Originally posted by NAF1138
Rorimac has a riding horse mentioned on his character sheet. I would guess he was using that one.

Thanks! The forum controls have changed while I was gone. Is there still a user CP button around here somewhere that I am missing?Welcome back, my dwarven brother!
OK, I missed the riding horse despite looking twice. Thank you.
Do all the characters look correct. There was an issue on Gil-Gandel that Malacandra already relayed to me. He is 7th level.
I will find and use the prior marching order from last adventure to move on. If there is anything before the next combat or questions about the map and mission, please speak up soon. I hope to update sometime today.

Is there an up-to-date list of spells that Ithilneth knows? I can't seem to find my notes on that. Also, the number of spells per level she can memorize?
The Word Doc I emailed out includes your spell list. Right near the top of the Document is a hyperlink to a bookmark: Spells, page down 1 more page and you will see the Pleonast/Ithilneth list. On the character page, your spells are listed below the experience cell. You are currently at: SPELLS: 4,2,2
What is this "hy-per-link", I know not of such strange technology.:
Okay, Ithilneth memorizes: 1) Protection from Evil, Levitate, Identify, Detect Magic. 2) Greater Light, Detect Invisible. 3) Protection from Evil 10-ft Radius, Water Breathing.
Sounds good, I'm going to edit your spell list into a post in the game thread.
I'll get the first encounter of the new adventure up either tonight or tomorrow morning.
Just a quick note -- my availability will be hit-and-miss for the next few days, but I'll try to post when I can. Should be back to normal by Sunday.
Hope it is for something fun.
We may be adding one more player. He PM'd me today.
Waiting on Applecider's to check in mainly, I'll update by Monday morning barring being overwhelmed. But possibly later today.
Unfortunately, it was a funeral (the mother of a good friend). A very touching service, at least.
The items and the healing is simple enough.
What the party needs to address is what to do with the prisoners and how to interrogate them.Let's make a plan and get going on these items.
I'll put up a list of items and valuables by tomorrow.
For those that have been in the game from day 1: You All Meet In An Inn.
As to the prisoner dilemma, a good plan for dealing with those captured along the way would be huge. It is a tough situation, the Priest of Morgoth and Sauron are potentially extremely dangerous. The party has no resources for dealing well with prisoners. Hopefully you can come up with a standard plan for this mission. I have no easy outs for you.

It has been a while since we started adventuring hasn't it.

OK, need some final decisions and feedback in the game thread.
Also a note: I will be on vacation starting Saturday the 16th through Saturday the 23rd. We're driving to New Orleans and I will be largely off the grid for the week.
Additionally: A Tolkien question has come up,
Thread: On re-reading Tolkien -- spoilers for anybody on the web who hasn't read LOTR. Please join the discussion.

It's been just over three years. Wow!
Have a wonderful time! You'll be getting back as my wife and I head out on our own vacation -- she's a schoolteacher, and her spring break is *always* the week after Easter. We're driving to Florida (from Chicago -- ugh -- but airfares are absurd right now), to see her father. I won't be entirely off the grid during that time (4/22-4/30), but it might be a bit spotty.
Have fun! Hopefully you're getting there early enough in the season the humidity won't kill you. It's really gorgeous down there in springtime.
I was last in New Orleans ten years ago, and spent most of my time in the French Quarter. It was fun. Try the ettoufee at Antoine's. In any event, have a great time!
Enjoy, school is our determining factor too. Kids have off the week before Easter and Monday after.Have a wonderful time!

As someone that has been there in July, I well know how devastating the heat and humidity can be. I think I only survived by a constant slow intake of White Russians and other ice/ice cream drinks. But then I think I did that even in March for one of the Mardi Gras. I don't think I'm up to that any more sadly.Have fun! Hopefully you're getting there early enough in the season the humidity won't kill you. It's really gorgeous down there in springtime.
I've been there, though I just don't like sea food at all. My wife loves it as do my BIL & SIL who took us there.
If you're looking for something to do with the kids, the aquarium is really wonderful and right next to the French Quarter. Convenient for everybody.
We're planning on the Aquarium, the Zoo, a Swamp tour and Beignets at Cafe Du Monde of course. We'll probably hit a museum or two and some used book stores I hope. Beyond that we have not planned though. My wife and I have both been there many times now. The first time for me was 1992.
I won't be going to the casino but we will probably do the river walk.

The city museum is worth a look - lots of interesting stuff, good and bad, about New Orleans through the ages. One of the rooms used to be the courtroom where the notorious segregation case Plessy v. Ferguson was first argued.
I'll be off for a week as well - back on Easter Even.
Librarians rule, Oook
Arrived safely. I will try update during odd moments this week.
Happy Easter & St. Georges Day and Earth Day & Week.
I'm back from vacation.
Let's get rolling.
Elendil's Heir, do I need to update the Trek thread?
No, thanks (and sorry for my late reply).
LOTR extended edition theatrical showings coming up - maybe to a theater near you: http://www.fathomevents.com/original...ellowship.aspx
Question: from the tower vantage, will Ithilneth be able to Sleep those in the courtyard?
That should be quite possible.
I saw ads for that when we went to see Thor over the weekend. Alas, the RotK showing is while I'm off to Origins at the end of June.
Hey, I still haven't gotten into the habit of checking this board regularly again. Could some one send me a PM if it seems like a couple of weeks have gone by and no one has heard from Gwaelur? PM's to me show up in my email. I'll get back into the swing of things properly soon.
I think that might go double for most of the others as well.

The game seems to be in a stall. I am only checking it at night at this point. But no progress anyway. I'm not sure what to do.
Has the game run its course?
Nooooooooooooo! Let's keep it going, please.
You might want to drop an email around and see if people are still available to play. It would be a shame to end it here though.
In the land of the blind, the one-arm man is king.
I hope we can keep going - I've been a little off the pace lately as I have a couple of math courses on the go as well as a play to rehearse, but I'd be sorry to see the game come to a sudden halt.

I'll keep going, but I am really crunched for time lately and will be for the next few months I think. But if there are posts, I will keep the game going.
