I work friday, saturday, and sunday.... I hope the game is on monday.

[Heron TSG]

If not Friday, then either Sunday or Monday would work. Saturday is a no-go.

[Theoboldi]

Sorry guys, can't come on any day after friday.
Also I think Raspul's xp is wrong in the OP. He has just as much as Uskton.

Perfect.  After the last few unlucky months I have finally found a mercenarie group with low enough morals to let me in. They didn't even ask too much about freddy, and believed me when I told them he killed my father. Granted, I had to lie about him going after me, but they didn't seem to notice. After they decided they would take me along, I made some further examinations on their ship. It is rather small, and their weaponry is pretty lacking.(ONE Ballista? Only One?) I shall have to make with that though, seeing as I have no other alternatives.

Shortly afterwards, one of their members came back from town and told us of a rather devious plan. We are going to break into the temple of the god of magic, to investegate on a 'corrupt Priest'. Today is truly my lucky day, to have met such likeminded fellow travelers. This shall not only bring us huge opurtunities for stealing magical equipment, but will also be a perfect training for my arcane capabilities. And in the case this priest is actually corrupt, we can stop him and make ourselves look like heroes.

[Shoruke]

Went and fixed up the exp for you there, Theo...

And it turns out that the two earliest days I can GM are Monday and Wednesday next week. I have some commitment or other for every single day between now and then. Silly life stuff, getting in the way, eh? Anyway, discuss/debate between those two days or doing something else.

[The Fool]

I would prefer the session to be on Monday. I work all of this week except Monday and Tuesday.

I love of how Raspul's journal says that it was a group with low morals that let him in. He's in for a surprise.

[RedWarrior0]

It's an adventure group. The only things with lower morals are usually the baddies.

[Dsarker]

Hey. I would like to join this, I just have a few questions.

Firstly, the OP doesn't list any town names, is there a list available in the thread?

Secondly, deities. Which ones are you using?

Thirdly, what time is the game happening in GMT+10?

Thanking you in advance

[Grek]

Unfortunately not, any ones you want, and about 0700 (assuming Shoruke turns up on time), respectively

The dwarf child Uskton and the ranger Vaba have left us and without the death of either. Though I worry that they may fair poorly out in the desert alone, or that one may attempt to hunt down the other without our watchful eyes upon then to stop the murder and idiotic revenge-seekingm I must admit that I am gladened to see them go. The child was already a murderer, by all accounts, and Vabas a brawler who would be one as well, if he had the strength or misfortune to kill before being restrained.

We've somehow managed to recruit a necromancer (Raspul, I think his name was?) and his skeletal charge to replace the two lost members of our expedition. Despite his repeated assurances that the skeleton was acquired ethically, I remain uncertain. Necromancers, in my experience, have often proven to have a questionable grasp of ethics at best. Still, he has yet to actually do anything wrong, so far as I can tell, so I shall withhold judgement. Perhaps he is one of the few good practicioners of his profession?

Unfortunately, Maelrigar, the very same blood-thirsty sorcerer that had first suggested that Uskton and Vaba fight eachother, now claims to have recovered the long lost Staff of Baccob. Rather than returning it to the church, selling it or attempting to harnass its power for himself, this questionable soul has chosen to instead sneak into the temple in the middle of the night and restore the staff to the shrine himself. Somehow I've been roped into assisting him in this matter by preforming divinations to forsee if this errand will bring about disaster.

Prior probabilities:

Error in augury: 0.26
Weal result: 0.185
Woe result: 0.185
Weal and Woe: 0.185
Null result: 0.185

Admittedly, I could probably do better than an ignorance prior with regards to the probability of results given an accurate augury, but I do not wish to bias this exercise and have not the time to do a full assessment.

Given that I've observed signs consistant with no result, I must now update my assessment thusly:

Weal, Woe or Both: 0.01 (Master Brennan always said that you go to science hell for assigning 0.00 as a probability)
Accurate Null result: 0.415
Failed Augury: 0.584

Which constitutes weak evidence in favour of the failed Augury. Ethan also brought up some qualms about the applicability of an augury over counterfactual events to similiar factual events performed outside the predictive range of the augury. If his theory is correct, this would produce a "true" null result that is non-indicative of the actual utility of the later factual attempt. Taken together, I feel that I have strong evidence of the augury's failure. Further, more reliable divinations are indiciated. I shall prepare myself for these meditations tonight, once my litanies and belief updates are complete.

Idiots where idiots again, aunty. Wish I could set people on fire with my mind like you can. Perils of being a druid instead of a wizard, I guess. Would be great stress relief. Vaba and Uskton are gone, after they agreed to duel, Vaba lost, and then Uskton admited he would refuse to be part of the group, and so left. Good riddance, I guess, though shame about Vaba, he sounded like he was trying to make himself better.

Picked up a new wizard to0, by the name of Raspul. I think he's a wizard at least, not some deathgod cleric. For sure he's a necromancer though. Should prove interesting to work with, and its not like we don't get attacked often enough to give him the dead bodies. I wish him luck and wish I had borrowed your wand of fireballs.

Sounds like rest of the party is about to do something stupid again, but not involved this time, so yay me!

With love, your niece Tallulah.

Spoiler: Vaba's Journal (click to show/hide)

I wonder why I even write these things...  Maybe I will be some powerful hero some day and people will want to read my life story...  No I don't want that. 
Anyways I am off the boat now, they kicked me off.  It started out benign enough, me and Uskton were arguing about... something, I think.  Pheron decided to drag us down into different sections after I spit in his mouth while he screamed.  Everyone then started interrogating me.  I was honest, telling them I was trying to be "Good" like they are always going on about, but they still seemed annoyed about how I "attacked some dragons so their parents would come and kill us".  I requested that if they had to punish me they dump me in the desert.  They seemed to miss-interpret that as "Dump me in the desert now please" which then devolved into "make him and Uskton fight" with yet more variations on what to do with the winner and loser.  Pheron eventually handed out sheets of paper to everyone so they could vote, but everyone kept saying "Oh wait, I meant this, this sounds more awesome".
  Eventually they decided on freedom, so I started getting out of my bindings.  They seemed to think I was going "OH NO!  They are letting me escape, I must escape before they make me escape so I can kill Uskton!".  They released me anyways, and then asked Uskton if he would attack me if they released him.  He pretty much said yes.  Due to this they decided to change "We will forgive Vaba" to "Let Vaba and Uskton duke it out".  There was then some argument whether we should wear armor, Whether I get a bow, whether we get the guards weapons etc.  In the end, Maelrigar gave me his greatsword and offered Uskton his crossbow; Uskton promptly said he would die with his axe in his hands.
We were lowered onto the sands and I ran a fair distance out, enough to keep Uskton running for a few seconds, but not so far it would be hard to hit.  Once he was down on the ground and about to charge I fired two arrows- to no visible effect.  He Laughed.  Then, in an amazing feat for a dwarf he charged me.  He went one-hundred-and-ten feet in six seconds.  As he came closer I pulled out Maelrigar's sword ad attempted to hit him.  I have never used a melee weapon, and haven't been in melee combat for six years.  Uskton easily dodged my paltry blow.  He then tried to hit me but I dropped the sword and jumped back, then shot him twice for even less effect than last time.  He retaliated with a vicious blow that would have made me a repeat of Mathaf had I not been so agile.
  I realized then that I could not win this fight, and those on the ship wouldn't let me back on even if I killed Uskton.  I dropped my bow, stepped back and focused on keeping the axe away.  I also tried to talk Uskton out of this fight, but he was so deep in rage it didn't matter.  Three times the axe whizzed past my head as some people came running from this ship.
They began talking to us and stopped the fight.  They revealed that they were split between letting me back onto the boar or exiling me to the sands if I won.  Pretty much no matter what I did I wasn't getting back on.  Uskton began gloating, but was interrupted by a geyser to the face from Maelrigar.  Uskton then announced he would be officially leaving this mercenary crew.  Maelrigar gave me some food, water and a blanket, not that I need it, while Uskton wandered off muttering about desserts.  I left for Eriden, maybe if I'm lucky the military will shunt me into the same group as them.

  Not long ago I realized Uskton is following me.  I hope he stops, or never catches up with me; I honestly don't want to kill a child.  Even Uskton, though he tried to kill me and appears to have gone insane, doesn't deserve death; he did mean well after all.  Anyways Eriden is within sight now, although it is still a few hours off.  I should be able to make it there by morning.

You notice the beginnings of a song written on the opposite page:
  Been through the desert on a Bote with no name;
  It's sad to be out of the same.
  In the desert, you can't remember it's name;
  Because there ain't no brush to give it no paint.
  Blah blah, blah blah blah-blah blah;
  blah blah-blah, blah blah-blah.
  After one day in the desert sun;
  My skin didn't turn red.
  After two days in the desert Fun;
  It still looks like a puddle of... puke...

I think everyone has collectively remembered this wrong. I said that a deathmatch would be neat out of character. Maelrigar advocated forgiveness, at least until the point where it was a deadlocked tie and Uskton said he'd go for the deathmatch regardless.

The first vote didn't have Mael in the forgiveness box. Maybe it was a joke or a misunderstanding of which box was which? I think Mael was advocating desert that time, though I admit I don't remember for sure. I do remember he wasn't in the forgiveness in the first vote though.
The second one did have him advocating forgiveness for most of it. It was a sudden change of heart for him.

I still thought Maelrigar's warrior's code would forbid interruption of combat no matter what foolish moves someone might do, but Meh.

[Dwarmin]

Actually, I'm pretty sure I was the first one to advocate trial by combat, and it got picked up on. Can't remember if I did it IC or OOC though.

[The Fool]

Just wondering but we will let Vaba back into the group right? I mean we made him walk the way into town as punishment, but his impulsiveness isn't really a good enough of a reason to toss him forever. I mean we threw him off for being too impulsive, but half of us are off to rob a church. Possibly that argument is no longer valid.

So is there anything that could happen to those who don't rob the church? If we have enough people it might be justified to have a short side quest at the same time.

I was kind of wondering if I was the only one who thought the fight between Vaba and Uskton was a little sudden. It was also a bit of an odd time to go for tea (everyone went from 'forgive them' to 'KILL THEM ALL!' in the time it took to grab a mug). Maybe we should watch our OOC comment brackets or something, because that was a rather sharp turn.

I would like to join the game, here is my character sheet.
