D & D on the Straight Dope setup thread. (In Middle Earth FA63)

Instead of upping a weapon proficiency again, (I think it would be the third time in Sling?) what other proficiencies could Mulligan take instead?

As far as weapons, anything you can use. Short Sword was a good example, it would assist you backstabs attempts that you generally don’t attempt.

Did you mean non-weapon? I don’t really have a list, suggest something and we might be able to work it in. If it was something new it should have been playing out already or we can start playing it out and put off the Proficiency until the end of next adventure.

Make it Short Sword. At least it means I can use Kkhosal’s Bane properly until I get to pass it on to it’s true bearer.

Sounds like a plan.

If we get as much rain as predicated, I can probably do the updates this weekend and start the various little side stories.

So how are those characters updates doing?

Slowly, the weekend got the better of me. I’ll get some or all done today.

I cast magic missile on the slime mold.

Wow, a slime mold wizard killing itself, wonders will never cease.

Joke or posted to wrong thread Mince?

There is no slime mold here.

You are at complex junction.

At least it isn’t dark, where I’m likely to be eaten by a grue.

Not if Thoroncir has anything to do with it!

Instead of the two 3rd level spells you already had, You get the 4th level spell Wall of Fire.

You jumped to 7th level just barely. You also got Glee’s Magnifier that aids detections and IDs. Only about 200GP though.

*A round thing walks into a tennis club. And the secretary says “We don’t serve balls here.”

I used to have a little cottage on the edge of the Druadan Forest. Nice place. The locals were always dropping by. I made up a song about it: “My dear old home, with Woses round the door…”

This is the setup thread isn’t it?

I just got NAF1138 done, 6th level and scary AC overall. Some gold and gems to work with.

To save time, can I send out my master sheet to all the players? It exposes what everyone has but wipes out about two hours work. One No vote will be enough to veto the idea.

What was our final decision on Rorimac? We’ll keep him as our Ranger NPC unless we find another player to play him?

Elendil’s Heir, do you want to attempt another recruit round? If so include the fact the party desperately needs a Ranger. Rorimac is ready made and as a son of Meriadoc might be interesting to the Tolkien fans.

The other possibility remains, does someone want to take on two characters?

Still no Loves Rhombus sightings as far as I know.

I have both Dwarves done and Thoroncir and Gilraen. Gil-Gandel is up next. I will post the first travel post in the game for those headed to Bree sonetime soon.

Fine by me.

Great!

No objection to sending the master sheet around.

I presume Love Rhombus hasn’t responded to either PMs or emails? Perhaps you should start asking for home and work phone numbers as a condition of play, What Exit? In any event, I’d be glad to send out another recruiting PM. I wouldn’t mind having another current player take on Rory, but would prefer not to do so myself.

I’ve got no issues with the master sheet being sent out.
