Yar, discussion goes here!
Let's keep the main thread tidy! Move any OOC over to here before you lose the ability to edit.
1st post OOC:
*You guys
**Additional information, the portal hall is below the court, which has the majority of its room on either side of the hall, with bridges over the open ceiling portal hall. It's like some shopping malls that are built that way. The stair up is opposite the throne across the court.
***More information, you guys don't have to answer, but if you do not wish to, just post in the discussion to skip you. Let's keep this thread tidy. Also, try and keep your responses verbal, I'm not aiming to extend this scene into a combat.
****MOAR INFORMATION! The Count Visage is inspired by: Turbolover's rendition of Dr.Wily in Act II: the Hounds by the Protomen, a good friend of mine, and the avatar picture I grabbed.
*****God, I love information. By the way, these ******* notes will be moved to the discussion page after about 45 minutes.
There's no *** in the text... what do we not have to answer? :P
I think you know that I think you know what I mean. :P
Oh dear... I have started on the pathway to madness.
Erm.. Sunset.. Posting just for a dot and to inform me of OOC stuff is kinda not what I was hoping for on the Gameplay thread.
The guy looks and sounds in my head like the Daedric Prince Sheogorath; you know, from Elder Scrolls Oblivion. Perfectly normal, until he's not.
Ooh... the portal hall has... portals... in it...
Tally-ho, fair gentlebeings, what! If you may pardon me for commencing the introductions, I have the priviledge of being Sir Nigel Whifflebottom, and I do look forward to 'courting', if you may pardon the pun as well, with you this fine eve.
Woohoo! So uhh, all I'm going to be able to do is dot for now, but hoepfully can get an initial post up in the next 24 hours. Much more than that will have to wait unfortunately.
Ouch, those 1s...
Mainly just spoiler'd to reduce other peoples' read load. I'll stick with Niulamayu.
P.S. Please don't send any zombie hordes.
... At a code jam all-nighter.. Finally got my code working.. Now what to do with the hours till sunrise..
Nice, what language(s)?
You could always code something else... or come up with genius things for us to do and post them. :D
Python. I will be PMing the secret agendas out once the players are through the portal.
Eww, not Python... :(
Now you've gone and made me sadder then hordes of zombies ever could.
Anyway, I'll want perception, stealth, and such checks from everyone.
Eep, zombies.
Ah, could I get a clairification on "and such checks"?
I went with Initiative as the "such".
Yus, unless you wish to diplomacize the zombies, initiative would be a handy one.
Also, giving me 5-10 generic rolls for perception checks and such other things I might need to keep a secret would also be handy.
With you getting the modifiers from our sheets, yes?
Notes!
The portal is no longer visible on the boat.
Also, I am going to assume that Nianju was in stealth mode during the conversation in the court, so unless you happen to beat his stealth check he currently, you currently have no idea he's there. He came in last through the portal while people were paying attention to zombies and then got behind cover.
You can't make knowledge checks untrained unless the DC is 10 or lower.
(Edit: Also, your summoned monster won't appear until next round.)
Actually he's a Summoner, and a Master Summoner at that, so if he's using his summon monster spell like ability, then it's only a standard action, and he can have his eidolon+1 casting of summon monster, or if he dismisses his eidolon he can have multiple castings of summon monster :)
Also: shhhhh :p
Ah, nice. :P
I still maintain you can't make the knowledge check untrained. ;)
Yeah, that part is correct :) There's very little you can actually do with knowledge skills untrained, since the DC is I believe 10+hit dice
Hmm, is there going to be a battlemap or are we forgoing that for this play by post?
Yes, I understand there is very little I could get from the untrained Knowledge skills. Having said that, getting a little is better than getting nothing.
We will be forgoing that for play by post unless a dire need arises for exact maneuvering.
In short, I would spend more time working with maps than I would doing the entire rest of the adventure prep... so, yeah.
That's a lot of Perception rolls.
It is indeed :)
No worries Niulamayu
Please stop putting OOC material other than dice rolls in your posts on the main thread.
However, the connection between the ships are very secure. The railing has been removed, the ships lashed tightly together and a large wooden board making a bridge between the ships.
In short, if you wanted too, you could probably charge across the ships to attack the zombies on horseback. However, that depends on how much you trust those large wooden boards.
The Bull Rush should generate an AoO from the zombie.
Eagle AC 14, 5hp
(If I had thought about it earlier I would have summoned a 'brain' dolphin and lured the zombies into the water... because we all know that zombies love brains & sushi! :)
Also, feel free to let me know if I'm overstepping my bounds with describing his hiding places or anything else Nianju gets up to :)
I'm not really sure how staying stealthed and making melee attacks works either... if I can't do that then let me know, and Nianju will have to stick with ranged attacks I suppose...
Also, now that you're up close, you're the only one who beat their disguise check, so, you notice that three of the zombies are in fact, not zombies, but merely folk dressed up as zombies. And they were the ones who just multiplied themselves.
Nothing to see here. Nothing at all *whistles innocently*
Also in the last spoiler, but just in case..
"Now that you're up close, you're the only one who beat their disguise check, so, you notice that three of the zombies are in fact, not zombies, but merely folk dressed up as zombies. And they were the ones who just multiplied themselves."
Do any of them seem to have noticed me/paying me any attention?
