The Back Room: Live Tabletop Games

1:00 AM

@KorvinStarmast hrm, why do you ask? didn't really have any plans for Thursday to speak of

@KorvinStarmast s/b available -- worst case is that I'll be a bit late showing up (cc: @nitsua60)

2 hours later…

2:38 AM

I don't think I can make it to this one

My apologies but the storm damage has me using spotty phone internet at best

I saw inquiry earlier today but couldn't answer before I lost connection

8 hours later…

10:33 AM

If you guys don't hear from me you should assume I can't get online to join you

11:19 AM

@trogdor OK, here's hoping they fix i before then.

@Shalvenay Well, it looks like I won't be available tonight either, so perhaps another time.

good news bad news, @nitsua60 @KorvinStarmast @trogdor @Shalvenay @MikeQ....It looks like I may get another local game going on - which basically means I can't commit to ToA :(. I'd love to eavesdrop when I can, but I don't think it's fair for you to expect/hope I show up when I quite likely won't/can't.

@NautArch ok, that is fair. I personally am only able to do this because it lands on the weekend day in which I don't have my other game night, so I understand the issue there

NautArch

@trogdor It basically means I'll have a gamenight 1/week (which I think I can get my wife on board with). And then I'll have my own roll20 where I"m DM about 1/month. If I ahve a more regular sat night, then that means 2/week - and that's a lot to ask.

I am debating about using Bludfont as my character, though :)

6:55 PM

Lol nice

@NautArch but seriously though, this is a pretty great thing, having a nice regular group is sooo nice

If you can't make our thing anymore that's no big deal

@Shalvenay you here?

@SoraTamashii I am about indeed

lol neat. :3

and okay.

@SoraTamashii btw -- I noticed you put "1" down for your char's max HP -- that should be 8 as you get the full value of your HD at 1st level

XD that was an error in beyond... sorry! lol

@SoraTamashii rummaging atm to see what would be good for Caelynn, trying to contrast against her backstory a bit (or what I recall of it at least)

10:20 PM

want me to pull up her backstory again?

@SoraTamashii that might help, yes :)

Caelynn Siannodel
Orphaned at a young age, she took to a life on the streets doing anything she could to survive, many things she would later come to regret. After a few years, she'd soon start taking up jobs as an assassin for hire, but with a critical eye on who she does business with and who she kills, only taking up requests from those she believes to be trustworthy and only killing those she believes to be evil.
One day, a woman came to her with a request to kill a man she claimed was blackmailing her to be his mistress. Due to some of the things she had to do before becoming an assass…

I think I'm onto something actually :)

Caelynn has been residing in a small-ish city lately, doing odd jobs to get by, when she finds a decent-sized bundle with a note tied to the top of it at the door to her room

@SoraTamashii -- will replies be simply slow tonight, or?

11:38 PM

sorry i was pulled away and my computer restarted. sorry.

@SoraTamashii no worries

reads the note

(Sha?)

The note reads "You are cordially invited to the Masquerade Ball tonight at the Court Hall, in the High Quarter of the city. For your convenience, a costume for your use tonight is included with this invitation, as the dress code is quite formal and the High Quarter costumers are quite selective as to who they do business with."

@SoraTamashii (sorry, took a little bit to figure out what the note was to say)

(That's fine.)

What does the writing tell me about the author?

@SoraTamashii The penmanship is clearly quite fine and filigreed, likely the work of a well-trained scribe

11:45 PM

"Hmm..."

What does the dress look like?

(Sha? Sorry, I like to know what's going on hence all the questions. lol)

@SoraTamashii The costume supplied is clearly meant to turn at least a few heads, yet not in a garish way, with muted tones, velvetine and silken fabrics, and a finely filigreed metal half-mask. The dress itself is low-cut, yet full-length and reasonably wide-skirted, with an adjustable corset, sheer hosiery, and plain slip paired with it. Simple jewelery, polished black high-heeled shoes, and a small clutch purse round out the costume.

Caelynn can tell that the purse has a few things inside it, too

What's in the purse and do I have anything to cover my cleavage a little since the dress is low-cut? or do I have enough gold to get it tailored a bit?
