GM Henry Fortuna's First Steps (Session 1) [Group 2] [Completed] (Inactive)

Game Master Signore di Fortuna

*continues staring contest with cat*

The cat cocks his head as if to say, you will loose.

Will save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Intimidate: 1d20 - 6 ⇒ (19) - 6 = 13

The whiskey-filled cat explodes, dealing 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) = 7 damage.

Aesantiel and Gilga take splash damage.

GM, are you waiting on a player, or can we wrap this task up?

I was actually waiting for Aesantiel, Krygmar and Elross to weigh in after you guys came down the stairs. By the way, what are you doing with the "donations"?

I was about to say I was waiting on you to get downstairs

I'm leaving the donations where they are and taking the inventory list.

I think Aesantiel and Elross are waiting on us. I think it's safe to say that we can meet up and leave. I don't think anyone else has anything to do here, especially because no one has posted in two days.

Okay, I'll give Aesantiel and/or Krygmar a chance to say something if they like tonight. I'm about to head to work shortly, so if there's nothing up by tomorrow morning, I'll just move this along.

Works for me

Sorry guys I was just assuming that I left the room with everyone ;)

I was hoping you'd bring up the fear of cat thing again lol

good to go - I was waiting for the boys to come back downstairs again.

Hrmm.. i can't find the map. can someone post the link again? Perhaps a perma-link in the campaign info section?

Put up a link to the map in the campaign info for ya :)

many thanks!

Taking a break today (in case you were wondering why nothing was posted). Decided to get some sunshine and exercise after work last night. Been up for 26 hours now...Funny how that happens. Anyway, I'll be back to harass you tomorrow.

@simon - good dragoncon? I saw a couple of pictures from the parade, but haven't heard extensive reports back... I went to school in downtown ATL, and used to go to DC pretty religiously. Unfortunately, since marriage and kids, Labor Day weekend conflicts pretty directly with back-to-school :\

Had a great time. Played a lot of high level society games. Met Tracy Hickman and Monte cook. Saw a couple of cool bands. Checked out the new Gears of War game. Way too much to relay here, but those were pretty much the highlights.

@simon - any chance you could just 'mage hand' the keys out of their various predicaments? or use mage hand to strategically thread twine into the keys?

You know, the funny thing is, I was thinking the same thing. Until I realized we lacked an arcanist. Totally forgot it was on my spell list due to my curse, apologies for that.

I'm surprised the zen monk would say something about killing a snake that was put into a basket as a trap. I mean come on; it's not like it's the snakes fault, he's just as scared as I am. Good thing I wasn't a druid or I'd have said that back lol.

He’s much more about Wisdom and less about Zen.

Cedrick (Half-Orc Zen Archer 1)

LIAR!!!! j/k

Just out of curiosity I got hit for:

Damage:1d2 - 2 ⇒ (2) - 2 = 0

So shouldn't the critical against Aesantiel have been 2d2-4?

Damage:2d2 - 2 ⇒ (2, 2) - 2 = 2

You are correct, Elross. Thanks for alerting me to that. However, she still takes one point of non-lethal damage.

So, lets retcon Simon not spending one channel energy for the day.

Indeed. I just saw Simon's ninja post prior to mine. There was no key in the basket when Elross threw the viper back in...so, yeah...Moving on...

Here and I was assuming it had at least some little magic on it, just to frustrate Mage hand. Goes to show... Always worth a shot.

Simon Casting Mage Hand.

He then casts a spell and attempts to lift the key from the basket and from the liquid in turn and deposit them on the floor.

Is the red key on the floor? Does it have runes as well?

There's a brass key (glass container) and a blue key (basket). Did I post something wrong or are you confused because the blue key (with runes) goes into the red lacquered chest?

apologies - i thought the brass key was red. Is the brass key out of the glass-and-fluid?

Yes, it is. Unless Simon says otherwise, I'm going to assume he's maintaining mage hand.

Hey guys I think I am going to have to drop from this campaign. I just haven't been feeling it for Krygmar. I haven't got a problem with anyone or anything I think this group is fantastic I just don't think this is the right game for me :)

Sorry about this and hope you don't hold it against me in the future.

That’s unfortunate.

Thanks for letting us know.

Are we going to open up for a fifth or keep it at four?

I think it’s probably a little late for a new PC to join, but if you (GM) want to do that, I know a character I could call on who should be fairly reliable.

Four should be fine to do this with.

@Krygmar: Thanks for joining our little group and I'm sorry to see you go.

@Krygmar - sorry it's not speaking to you. Catch you around on the boards.

Sorry to see you go Krygmar, first steps does tend to start out a bit slow though...

On a side note, it is so hard to resist making a "Paint me like one of your French girls." joke here. It would be so out of character for Simon.

<snort> <eye roll> <flounce> harumph. ;)

So what do you think a lawful neutral group of elven monks do in the middle of the desert, aside from making razor-sharp distinctions about obligation, tradition, and ethical wonkiness?

sunbathe?

katas + sunbathing = perfectly even tan. Real Doonesbury/Zonker Harris world-class tanning.

Waiting to hear if I know anything about the imp before answering Cedrick.

Sorry, had a sleep marathon yesterday...wife is going into surgery on wednesday so we've been trying to get things done.

Hope all goes well. No problem, family always comes first.

best wishes for the missus. we'll keep her in our thoughts and prayers.
