Aubrey's Eberron campaign. (Inactive)

Game Master Aubrey the Malformed

Sorry for slacking - I've needed a bit of a break to refresh, and work is a little bit heavy at the moment. I will try to get to you all soon.

No worries, a bit like that myself on both counts. Take your time.

I know the feeling.

I was doing much the same. Glad to see I wasn't slowing everything down. Again.

Do we wait until the weekend for Fates turn as ithuriel mentioned he wasn’t going to have net access until then? Does someone wish to take over? Or will Fates be able to join us before then?

BTW, Aubrey, my character has his shield slung on his back so my AC is down three points.

Fates is unlikely to join us before then. His home computer is in the shop and he has no work access anymore.

Ah - wondered where he was. OK, someone please do his turn. Best if Heathy doesn't do it.

I'd retort, but I agree altogether too completely.

Shouldn't he just prepare an attack action? After all, running over to the horsemen is a bit of a non-option.

As in a readied action to attack when a foe is within reach? Makes sense to me -- or would he benefit from activating his Whirling Frenzy early?

So its agreed. Runzyl will charge the nearest horseman and attempt to grapple the horse into submission. ;)

hahah. I just realized i more or less pulled off your joke as his action. Ah well. Add me to the list of banned npc'er with heathy. My original spoilered post was maybe more sensible, but either way merely readying his action didn't save us any time because it was immediately triggered since they follow him in init order.

So its agreed. Runzyl will charge the nearest horseman and attempt to grapple the horse into submission. ;)

LOL! Too funny!

I have to agree with Ithuriel's amended course of action, though. The grapple in the midst of the horsemen doesn't sound like the best option. I must admit I looked at the spoiler thinking it was for formatting rather than for hiding it. Sorry!

All joking aside, my suggestion was gonna have Runzyl make a charging jump on the nearest horseman. I was gonna have him make a short jump on Lightbringer’s back/shoulders as part of his charge to get some height before making the leap attack against the enemy. Of course once I checked the map and realized the distance between Lightbringer and the nearest horsemen was too long, I disregarded the notion.

I like it though. That's some high action.

I see that Paizo has the PFRPG pdf version for $10. Nice. So I'll pick that up when it comes out and have access a little quicker.

Also- I noticed that the Sharn book is listed for $12 in that Alliance sale that is on right now if anyone wants it.

Sorry guys, been very busy and sick over past few days, will try to update today or tomorrow.

Sorry about my unannounced abscence - we lost our TV and internet after some rough weather on Thursday. It's not back yet, but at least I can post from work.

Just to let you know, after this morning my posting will be disrupted until Sunday. A work do and then a brief trip to Spain.

Haha. Everyone at once.

Not sure if/when Fates get any access back, but since Aubrey is gone anyways maybe we wait him out this time.

It's all good....my hard drive in my head is fried.

Plus, every time I try to do something, 6 people call me.

That's ok. It'll give me a chance to spend more time on some Realms NPCs I'm statting up.

Ok with me, I'm still trying to play catch up on my games.

I know, right?

Wow. Even I have a little project taking up most of my time. Anyone terribly familiar with PCGen? Rhetorical question - I'm directing my questions to the forums - but there's a lot to be done to make my data work in the latest and greatest version. Apparently.

If Fates hasn't posted by Sunday afternoon, someone want to npc him?

His postablity right now depends on being able to pay for computer repairs with strained resources, so no idea when to expect to see him.

I almost got fakey's character killed in another pbp, so I've sworn off it for the nonce.

Is it me, or is much of the rest of the board kinduva buzzkill of late?
Let's fight about Transformers!!! Woot!!! I have a strong opinion about Transformers: my 6 year old son wants to see it and I'll take him eventually. I wish I wasn't on call all the time so I could take him.
AND, you want good stuff, go see a Shakespeare play. WTF is there to discuss.
I might shut down the rest of the threads for a while except the pbp; I feel like everybody is gearing up to b#%%@ about the new rules; IDK.
I'm in a bad mood; I fenderbendered somebody's car last night.

Sorry about the fenderbender. That'll foul a day right up.

I wanted to see Transformers and probably still will eventually- even if I wait till dvd, but I don't think it is too much to ask for a coherent plot to go along with the explosions. It sounds like it is full of glaring plot holes that you don't expect, especially when you read they paid some guy $8 million just for the script.

Not to revive your hot topics Heath, just saying.

That's fine, and I respect your opinion.
What gets me is somebody said "Transformers is a movie made for stupid people," or something.
Then, some guy quit posting on Paizo cos it's got the cancer that killz Paizo....."this place has changed, man..."
I just can't see the reason for such fervent combat.
I mean...see what I did? I don't agree with you (entirely) but I respect the difference. Why can't people do that?

I thought the movie could have done with some more editing and there were parts that made me shake my head in disbelief but other than that I still found it fun and enjoyable.

I’ll post Runzyl’s actions by Sunday if he hasn’t. It’ll probably be a full attack on rider 4. No need to activate Whirling Frenzy unless you’ve already done so ithuriel since I haven’t checked the spoilers. Unless there’s an invisible wizard/sorcerer ready to drop the hammer or the Valenar happen to be members of the guard, this encounter looks like a speed bump on our journey to Aerenal considering we’ve already dropped two of the riders and caused the sniper to retreat.

Ouch on the fenderbender, Heathy.

Yeah; right on....it was so miniscule that if it was my ride that got impacted on I would've blown the thing off, so I think it might be hunky dory. I might be just in denial though...

I did kick in the whirling frenzy because it is night and we are on our way out of town. Figured why the hell not?

That debate is completely meaningless, with both sides pulling out silly arguments. My fave is the "I didn't like T2 because I like complex characters and good acting" argument. Who expects that from a movie like that. I'll see it this weekend, and all I want is giant robots bating the everliving crap out of each other. Anything beyond that is a positive surprise.

Yeah, all right, a good storyline would be nice, and glaring plot holes are rarely much fun in any movie, but honestly, if (when) I see this movie it will be due to nostalgia of the Saturday morning cartoon and the Transformers toys I had as a kid - and I wasn't demanding award winning plots out of either of those things.

Sorry 'bout the car mate. Hope it works out.

Some f*cknuckle dinged my car pretty badly at a shopping centre carpark about two weeks ago, badly enough that I couldn't open the passenger side door. You'd think you'd feel it if you did this, but of course this d&%+$ead drove off without leaving a note or anything.

Not that I'm bitter...

That's my position as well. I liked the action parts from T1, but there weren't enough of them (or, rather, the human/robot balance was skewed too far towards humans). Rectify that, and I'll be perfectly happy, even if the plot is as stupid and the acting as bad as I've heard.

Yeah. I thought she would b#$&$ me out.

I did go see Bruno last night. I haven't laughed so much at a movie in a while. One of the scenes at the end is in my hometown (Ft Smith, Arkansas). A prime example of why I moved to Brooklyn ;)

I figured Fates would be back by now, but since he hasn't been here to tell you guys... he got laid off the new job in NY state. Thus the no internet. And that is also why I don't know when we might see him next.

Ah, nuts! I'm sorry to hear that. Here's hoping something turns up soon...

That is very sad to hear. : ( Hopefully and shortly, there’s a new job waiting for him…somewhere.

That's crap - he's really having a bad year. Best wishes to him.

damn.

Not cool.

That f%$#ing sucks.

That sucks. Hope things start looking up for you soon Fates if you're reading.

Nice spellcasting for Jalana, Heathy. It completely slipped my mind that she was an NPC, otherwise I would have posted an action for her. O_o
