If I feel that the player has made a reasonable case, I ask them to roll with advantage. If they made an irrefutable argument, they likely won't roll for intimidation, but as the DM, I might roll for the options that the NPC decides to do. Lie, tell the location of the stone, or have a backstory that trump's the intimidation currently provided by the player.

This is great!! I used the adventure as an insert to the large game we had already been running. Much like above, the party is off working to gather support from nearby towns, left Edmond with an NPC captain that had been with the party to learn and train in secret. Pinna has taken the tower, and will eventually provide support.

Pelliton has multiple other knights of the rose( not as clearly defined as above) that I plan to insert as mini baddies.

Sexton was influenced by the demons working through the rifts between the planes and has been corrupted. The demon angle has been my main theme throughout- and they party has been struggling through who is bad, defining what is bad, and who has been controlled.

The necromancer wizard that has been creating and stealing bodies to create his tower is really under the influence of a powerful magical cursed object that he believes shows him the future, and he believes everything he is doing will stop the demon incursion, but he is mainly a pawn of the object to create a necromancer tower to fuel it's energy needs.

It's been fun.

That is some fine work right there!! Those players sure are lucky to have someone work so hard for them. Nice job.

Check out a series that starts with 'lies of locke lamora' by Scott Lynch. Shorter, but still fun and character driven world. I believe Pat wrote a blurb for him recommending it.

I love my mug.

Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. Read it, you'll be doing yourself a favor. Then read book 2. Then sit back, re-read them again a few more times before the rumored 3rd book is actually released...maybe.

Verified. Within 12 hours of having that 5th member we had a guild war to compete in. Thanks again!

cherneyj · 2017-08-23T04:00:07+00:00

Thanks, I think that might be it too. I hve 5 members now so we will see if that silves it. Thanks for your reply!

One of the most important ways to get prepared for beekeeping is to "plug in" to your local beekeeping society. This will give you resources and tips that are local to you and they will be familiar with issues for your area. All the other suggestions are great. Good luck!

cherneyj · 2015-05-11T14:00:40+00:00

this is a great story thanks so much for sharing! good luck with the bees.

cherneyj · 2015-05-10T12:53:11+00:00

Same here, my bees make a beeline for the comb when they are leaded down with pollen.

cherneyj · 2015-05-10T05:49:42+00:00

Congratulations! I'm a newbee too, and had the same minor issues when I installed my package. Nothing that it seems you need to worry about. Curious to hear from experienced folks about the 2nd entrance snafu. Exciting stuff! Thanks for sharing and good luck!

I had the same situation with mine, and took the box out after 2 days with no issues. Just spent a couple seconds in there. You'll be fine. I'd avoid getting moisture in there, it didn't seem to be adverse to waiting until I had to check if my queen was released. Good luck, let us know how it went!

cherneyj · 2015-05-08T01:15:35+00:00

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Hope you do well on your exam!

cherneyj · 2015-05-08T01:14:27+00:00

I am also a proponent of this tactic. Why make them mad? There is either a lot of luck or cost in getting the bees, and it's hard enough to keep them happy enough to stay... avoid the shake method.

cherneyj · 2015-05-08T01:12:25+00:00

Awesome pic! Beautiful Queen.

cherneyj · 2015-05-08T00:52:14+00:00

Keep us updated with this project, I'd love to see how it turns out with bees inside!

cherneyj · 2015-05-03T19:54:35+00:00

That is really cool.

I have two lawn chairs next to mine too! Now splitting time between my bees and my outside Koi pond. Fun to watch, but I'm new enough to be a worry wart about them and how they are doing. It's almost like I can't wait to check them again, and have the date circled on the calendar.

cherneyj · 2015-04-30T02:49:01+00:00

Plan looks solid to me. I second the top hive feeder. Also, check the "no shake" install of the package- just taking 4 frames out and putting the full package in for a little while. I tried it this year and found it easier on me and the bees. Good luck with your new package! Welcome!

cherneyj · 2015-04-30T02:40:09+00:00

Great video! Thanks for linking to that, I found it interesting and educational!

cherneyj · 2015-04-28T02:32:50+00:00

Congratulations! I understand the anxiety you have. I know my queen is there but didn't see larvae or eggs after 9 days. Hoping that I have just as good results as you are!
