[OOC] Words Along the Wood

[Crocodile]

Just say when.

[Citizen Sam]

Good to go on my end.

[DemonSlayer]

To quote the famous Italian plumber; let's a-go !

Welcome back Amarga, hope you had a great vacation!

[Alemar]

Good 2 go, lets rescue this toad prince!

[Grouchy]

I'm ready!

[DemonSlayer]

Quick note; I'll be away on holiday again next week. Leaving on the 20th, and returning on the 27th. I may be able to get a few OoC posts in from my phone, but nothing beyond that. See you when I get back !

[DemonSlayer]

Also, yay for the pretty map!

Could I do a quick Insight check, to see if Leonora could intuit the most likely place where Roderick would want to go? I mean, we could still ask around in Larag, but Leonora may have some insight in whether Roderick would go and investigate disappearances in the forest, or curtail the number of monsters near the lake.

Dice Insight:

d20+3

(11)+3

Total = 14

[Amarga]

Knowing Sir Roderick, and hearing of Ragglink's character, Leonora would have a general idea of their road.
They would have followed the Trollflood from Larag to Loch Gal,
then from Loch Gal to Givet,
and finally they would have plunged into the Whisperwood to chase the rumors.

Theoretically they should have left the Whisperwood and moved to Larag then Rapploc and have been back two or three days ago.

I have drawn a rough approximation of what Leonora would guess their path would be if nothing interrupted them. they would have lacked Captain Wilcock as a source of information and would have picked up rumors on the way, but Leonora is confident they would have ended up in the Whisperwood at some point.

Thank you! I reworded what you said to an IC post as best as I could .

Also, did you draw that map yourself? It is very pretty !

[Amarga]

Very well written DemonSlayer!

I did draw it myself! It was a bit of work but with a steady hand, and a couple youtube tutorials, it's actually quite simple to do! I've tried using different mapping software over the years but none of it ever quite sat well with me, so I finally decided to give it a whirl by hand.

I love the map, thank you for the hard work on making that for us!

Also I love that you missed typed Jane into Jade at the OOC in the game thread. One of my RL PCs changes the names of all of the NPCs I provide (my own NPCs and ones from the module too) so it is just a running joke at the table of what he is going to make up next. I am not offended at all, I find it hilarious.

[Amarga]

AHG, Yeah classic move. For some reason my brain said her name was Jade

[Citizen Sam]

Sorry, trying to get caught up on posts but the net's been spotty. If I don't have a post up by tonight I will by next morning.

The map looks amazing, nicely done! XP for that.

I can definitely relate to the latter! I made a bunch of maps with a bunch of software tools, or with Gimp or the like, and while some definitely turned out nice, none ever turned out exactly they way I wanted. I may have to try drawing the next one by hand ! I don't suppose you still have any links to those videos...?
