No. I mean, I had the surgery, but the pain is killing me. I'm out of commission yet for a few more days. Not many creative thoughts left in me. Post-Op Exam tomorrow. :P

I suggest we GMPC...I'm sure he'll be back soon, but it will help the vasculature of the game, if you know what I mean. Keep the blood flowing.

I'm still a little unclear on whether detect magic worked to spot the magical mirror or not. If it worked, then Rohini could and would cast detect magic again to identify the position of the magical mirror and then call it out to the group, and hope someone can smash it before it moves again. Similarly/alternately, if playing the flute and gaining true sight would reveal the position of the mirror, then the logical thing to do is to play the flute and call out the location of the mirror. If neither approach is workable, then she'll just smash the nearest mirror as indicated in the play thread...


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

It takes three rounds, Rohini, and I assumed you used the Detect Magic in tandem with Spellcraft to identify the mirror.

Even if you know which mirror it is, the problem is that the attack's outcome is random. I know which one it is, and every time one of you knock one of those things off, roll a D10, D9, etc going down according to how many are left.

I'm not sure I entirely follow, Trout, but I entirely trust that you're totally on top of the mechanics! On to smashing we go...

I'm totally fallible. I thank you for your faith, regardless.
There's more than a 25 percent chance that Haka has ended this, but I'll roll when it comes up.

I echo Drovya's sentiment. Seems to me that a lot of people (myself included) are finding 2014 pretty challenging. Hope you're having a good birthday.

¡Cumpleaños Feliz, Truchita!

On depressive episodes, if you haven't read the book Hyperbole and a Half, you should, as should those who love ya. And those who like to laugh, because it's funny as hell. Gave me a lot of insight into a couple of people very dear to me who suffer from depression - so I understood it wasn't about me, and I learned a bit about how I can help without trying to "fix" them.

Happy Birthday, Trout! Ah, as for depression, the more resources you throw at it, the better off you'll be...everyone's brainmeats and emotional baggage/current situation are different. You have our support and compassion. And my axe! Oh wait, that was Gimli's line.

I just got my therapy kitty. :3 He's my first pet that is fully mine, and an orange tabby. I just experienced the joy of playing with him and a laser pointer. It was neat... Though he still thinks the light escaped to under the couch.

That's awesome, Trout! I'm posting this on my phone, while four kittens climb around on my lap. We often foster litters of kittens in the spring. We're asked to name them by some theme, which we get to pick. This year's crop are named after Batman villains: Harley Quinn, Joker, Penguin (who's black & white) and Mr. Freeze (who's a fat white snowball).

Seriously good therapy, glad you got one!


Female :D Check out my fetching opercles!

:3 I haven't been this happy since my homecoming in December.

As for fostering kittens... that sounds like so much fun. Difficult, too. But so full of squeefulness.


Kittens are pretty much the best; tiny adorable psychopaths who think we're just big dumb cats.

So, Haka is actin' a little weird, I'll acknowledge that. But he still likes you guys. As a testament to that, here are some links to pictures of the kittens I'm fostering:

That is some serious cuteness right there!

By the way, is that a cork floor? We're considering getting a cork floor to increase sound insulation, rather than having wall-to-wall carpeting. If that is indeed cork floor, how have you liked it?

That is a cork floor, and I like it very much. I've put cork in the guest room (where the kittens live) and my kitchen and it's worked out great. It's quite good for sound insulation, warm and slightly soft under foot (the guest room is slab on grade, and was quite cold before, and now it's cozy). I just used the floating cork planks, which click together. The only caveat I'd put on them is to perhaps avoid really high traffic areas - there's a little office attached to my kitchen and the rolling desk chair has slowly worn the finish off the cork, though it's taken 6 or 7 years. But even in the rest of the kitchen, which gets tons of foot traffic, the floor looks great.

If you want to discuss in greater detail, feel free to PM me.

Was that some industrial noize at the beginning of the track? KATSCHEN TANZEN MIT MIR

I dream of radiant flooring, myself.

No idea what that noise was, some glitch in the camera, methinks. And I considered radiant flooring, but this was cheaper and easier and seems to have worked out just as well. I stayed in a rental place last month with radiant floors heating, and it was warm, but the floors were so hard that it wasn't as comfy as I expected.

And yes, the little grey cat is a cutie - we named it Joker, thinking it was a boy, but I learned yesterday that she's a girl, which explains why she's smarter than the other two boys (like humans, girl kittens develop a bit faster than the boys).

Couldn't one do radiant heating under cork and get the best of both worlds?

Since we're turning this into the flooring thread...

I think you could do that, but the cork is such a good insulator that you'd lose a lot of efficiency in heating with the radiant heat - it'd be like putting the hot water bottle outside the blankets, instead of under the blankets with you. So it would be super warm under the cork, but not as warm where you're walking around on it.

That's just my speculation, maybe it would work fine, but I'd look into it carefully before going for the double-whammy.

Trout - do you want to post a little summary of the action to date and close out the two rounds or so we just played, then we can all do initiative and such? I don't want to get too far out of sequence and I want to be sure anyone else who wants to can act before Haka takes his next (totally not possessed, dominated or otherwise externally controlled) actions.

I can here.
Drovya-Attempted to trip Haka
Talon-Tripped Haka
Rohini-Tried to fix Haka
Haka-Vanished and ran away

Now inits?

Did anyone get an attack of opportunity when Haka ran away after casting vanish? Or, even before, when Haka stood up after being tripped?

Haka was invisible when he stood up and ran away, as he cast while he was prone. So someone would have to roll a mighty high Perception check to spot him, in order to get an AoO.

And why would you want to attack Haka anyway?

Male Half Elf Bladebound Magus 8

Well, despite being invisible, he still provokes, and knowing where he was when he turned invisible, we can target his square, so technically yes, we should still get AoO's, at least, that's my take on it.
