Male NG Human (Taldan) Bard (Court Bard) 5 | HP: 40/40 | AC: 19 (14 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: +3, CMD: 17 | F: +2, R: +9, W: +5 | Init: +4 | Perc: -1, SM: +13 | Speed 30ft | Performance: 14/14 | Spells: 1st 5/5 2nd 3/3 | Active conditions: None.

I know. This is an example of a player taking an action doomed to fail to maintain roleplay. Tristan doesn't know anything about these things so he thinks he can stop the fight before it starts.


Ah, that's fine. Just wanted to give you a chance to change your action if you wanted to.


♀ NG Elven Wizard (Conjuror) 5 | HP: 35/35| AC: 17 (13 Tch, 14 Fl) | CMB +1 CMD 14 | F: +2, R: +5, W: +6 | Init +3 | Perc +12(15), SM +1 | Speed 30 ft | Active Conditions: None | Appearance

What is the DC again for the cold? How do we recover HP then? It occurs to me that if Nariel fails her save, at 8 damage she'll succumb to the cold (only 7 HP)


Appearance

You have to be warmed up first before the damage can be healed. Raquel volunteers to share her bedroll with you... ;)


Fort DC 20. It's non-lethal so you'll (just) be unconscious - not great news for this fight, but not imminently lethal.

Whether you take Raquel's proposed solution is beyond the scope of your humble GM...

(As for the increase in damage from d6 to 2d6 - blame Tristan)


Male NG Human (Taldan) Bard (Court Bard) 5 | HP: 40/40 | AC: 19 (14 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: +3, CMD: 17 | F: +2, R: +9, W: +5 | Init: +4 | Perc: -1, SM: +13 | Speed 30ft | Performance: 14/14 | Spells: 1st 5/5 2nd 3/3 | Active conditions: None.

Oh, sure, blame the guy who bumbles loudly into dangers with which he should not dare meddle. Real original.


Waiting on Aivar and Sasha


Male LG Human (Brevan) Paladin 4 | HP: 65/65 | AC: 21 (11 Tch, 20 Fl) | CMB: +9, CMD: 21 | F: +9, R: +5, W: +7 | Init: +1 | Perc: +0, SM: +8 | Speed 20ft | Smite Evil 2/2 | Lay on Hands 4/4 | Spells: 1st 2/2 | Active conditions: None. Appearance

Gosh, that's one wicked c-c-cold front that's hitting us. It's that we're in combat, but the moment we see Nariel ailing we ought to use one of those heat stones to keep her warm - even if that means wrapping it in a bundle of furs to ensure it doesn't burn her. Figured I'd post it here, since we're in the midst of combat.


Appearance

My idea is more fun. :P


♀ NG Elven Wizard (Conjuror) 5 | HP: 35/35| AC: 17 (13 Tch, 14 Fl) | CMB +1 CMD 14 | F: +2, R: +5, W: +6 | Init +3 | Perc +12(15), SM +1 | Speed 30 ft | Active Conditions: None | Appearance

Indeed it is ;)

Where is a tauntaun when you need one?


Appearance

I hear Hoth is lovely this time of year.


Apparently the Hoth Tourism Board rejected the phrase "Chances of Survival: 725 to 1" as the official motto.

Never tell me the odds!


Female LN Human (Brevan) Unchained rogue (consigliere) 5 | HP: 45/45 | AC: 18 (14 Tch, 14 Fl) | CMB: +3, CMD: 14 | F: +3, R: +8, W: +3 | Init: +3 | Perc: +8, SM: +8 | Speed 30ft | SA: 0/0 | Spells: 0/0 | Active conditions: None.

Posting now. I was distracted by prep for an IRL game I run tonight.

Sasha: For you


Called away with work. It'll be 24 hours or so before I can post again.


Appearance

Dang, good luck!

Now might be a good time to come up with those campfire conversation topics.


Male NG Human (Taldan) Bard (Court Bard) 5 | HP: 40/40 | AC: 19 (14 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: +3, CMD: 17 | F: +2, R: +9, W: +5 | Init: +4 | Perc: -1, SM: +13 | Speed 30ft | Performance: 14/14 | Spells: 1st 5/5 2nd 3/3 | Active conditions: None.

I suppose by now Tristan would have told the others some version of his actual reason for being in the group - essentially, that it's a punishment. Probably with a quip about "jokes on them, because I'm thoroughly enjoying myself!" or something. The rest of his history is pretty much an open book - he didn't have much in the way of secrets.

Beyond that, he'd mostly be singing and playing music to entertain others and himself.


Aaaand we're back. Sorry for delays.


Appearance

I like how Nariel is a frozen statue on the map. :)


Not my doing, but yes :)

You might even say *puts on sunglasses* it's cool.


Male LG Human (Brevan) Paladin 4 | HP: 65/65 | AC: 21 (11 Tch, 20 Fl) | CMB: +9, CMD: 21 | F: +9, R: +5, W: +7 | Init: +1 | Perc: +0, SM: +8 | Speed 20ft | Smite Evil 2/2 | Lay on Hands 4/4 | Spells: 1st 2/2 | Active conditions: None. Appearance

I hope all of you who happen to be on the east coast of the US are safe and sound. Reading the news and seeing what's about to go down gives me the creeps.

Also, welcome back Minstrel. Hope all is well.

(queue The Who)

That was me; I figured it was the best way to show status. I've done that with other online RPG's, using green for poison, red for barbarian rages etc...


Female NG Human (Brevan) Investigator 4/Brawler 1 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 25 (14 Tch, 21 Fl) | CMB: +7, CMD: 19 | F: +5, R: +10, W: +4; +2 vs poison | Init: +2 | Perc: +7, SM: +7 | Speed 20ft | Inspiration 5/5 | Extracts: 1st 3/4, 2nd 0/2; Flex 4/4 | Active conditions: Ablative Barrier, Shield, Haste

Er, I didn't notice this before, but Raquel shouldn't have Power Attack. The feat has a prerequisite of BAB +1.


Appearance

Ack, you're right! I always forget about that requirement. Sorry! Fortunately (?), I haven't actually hit anything yet.

I'll swap it out for Selective Channeling, with the GM's permission.


Approved - and well spotted, Arianna. I always forget about that.


Just waiting on Sasha.


Female LN Human (Brevan) Unchained rogue (consigliere) 5 | HP: 45/45 | AC: 18 (14 Tch, 14 Fl) | CMB: +3, CMD: 14 | F: +3, R: +8, W: +3 | Init: +3 | Perc: +8, SM: +8 | Speed 30ft | SA: 0/0 | Spells: 0/0 | Active conditions: None.

GM:
I like the direction you're pushing Sasha in that spoiler. I think she's fairly insecure, but I don't know if you're looking for something to happen in that scene, or if you just want to put it in her mind going forward.


Sasha:
Glad you liked it. As for how you use it, that's up to you. She doesn't strike me as the type to have an immediate breakdown, though - or at least, not in public (after all, what would Father say?).


Male NG Human (Taldan) Bard (Court Bard) 5 | HP: 40/40 | AC: 19 (14 Tch, 15 Fl) | CMB: +3, CMD: 17 | F: +2, R: +9, W: +5 | Init: +4 | Perc: -1, SM: +13 | Speed 30ft | Performance: 14/14 | Spells: 1st 5/5 2nd 3/3 | Active conditions: None.

Sasha's horror story is heading in a Nightmare On Elmstreet direction, whereas I feel like Tristan's was more of a "The Ritual" thing.

By the way, if you enjoy horror movies and haven't watched The Ritual yet, I highly recommend it.


Nariel requires warmth in order to recover the weather-inflicted nonlethal damage. It recovers at the rate of 1 point per hour, so it will take 8 hours of warmth to fully recover, but only 1 hour to regain consciousness.

What you do with the remaining 7 hours is up to you.


Appearance

Will positive energy work once she is warm? If so, I can channel to make the process faster. Otherwise, I say we gather the radishes and camp here overnight.

Tomorrow I'll prepare an extra endure elements for Nariel so this doesn't happen again.

No idea, let's say yes to keep things moving and to get Nariel back in the game (thanks for your patience, Nariel!)

Ah, my frail elven wizard... c'est la vie. I'll post her regaining consciousness this evening; likely, a very embarrassing moment for Nariel.


You'll be relieved to know that the bad weather doesn't scale with level, so what is life-threatening at first level is no more than mildly inconvenient by level 3 or so.

I'll bet we could piss off the 'Queen' enough to make it scale.

Mate, don't go giving the DM terrible ideas now. Just saying.

xD

God heavens, please don't let the cold damage scale XD

Post is up; Nariel's reaction is born of the hard-on-herself perfectionist persona I imagine her to have, so suffice to it to say she's embarrassed to have passed out like that.

Duke's GI Joe lesson of the day: Wizards with 10 constitution should always have endure elements before traveling in winter.

Nariel: Now I know.

Duke: And knowing is half the battle.

That is certainly one possibility. Please remember though that if you turn the Greenbelt into Narnia, in this version there's no Aslan to come to your rescue.

EDIT: I know that Raquel and Tristan wrote letters - did anyone else? Replies should be on their way at some stage.

Tristan:
I don't have much to go on about your parents other than they're shopkeepers - is there anything I should know before I compose their reply back to you?


Actually, if any of you want to compose letters then I'm happy to retcon that they were sent out before you left. I'm slightly rushing through the downtime in order to keep things moving.


Quick question - did you send the 2 stag amulets off to claim the bounty on them? Or are you still holding onto them?


Appearance

I am all for having sent them.


Ok, thanks. Just waiting on Tristan and Arianna to see if they want to post before I move on.

Sorry for the brief absence, came down with something and spent most of my time sleeping.


Male LG Human (Brevan) Paladin 4 | HP: 65/65 | AC: 21 (11 Tch, 20 Fl) | CMB: +9, CMD: 21 | F: +9, R: +5, W: +7 | Init: +1 | Perc: +0, SM: +8 | Speed 20ft | Smite Evil 2/2 | Lay on Hands 4/4 | Spells: 1st 2/2 | Active conditions: None. Appearance

I'm down with collecting the bounty. The sooner we can get some basic adventuring gear to ease the pain of having to explore these lands in the winter, the better.


Aivar:
You have a big key to this conversation that you're forgetting. Maybe you need better locks?

GM And All: Life is busy after being sick earlier in the week (and also still kinda recovering), so I'm taking a hiatus from the forums until this monday so that I don't always have it on my mind. Apologies!


Hi Tristan - thanks for letting me know, get well soon and we'll see you on Monday!


Sorry all - traveling (again!). Posting will be patchy for the next couple of days.


May the delays be non-existent and the free drinks and snacks delicious! And hey, Aivar has Int 8, of course it would take him a moment to remember such a thing *grins*

... ahem, or me.
