Level-up complete.

[b][/b]

As I understand it we're all supposed to level up.

Even myself and Dirk?

I take it that the side quest is close to being over. What's the deal with level-ups, continuing the main quest, etc... ?

Captain Justice has returned.

This is still the side quest, right?

*doik*
This is still the side quest. Ah, well...
See you in a few weeks.

Shiny, since you and Dirk were going to be gone for a while, I was taking these guys on a side quest. It's not a part of the story and I'll make sure you and Dirk get caught up with XP, but if you want I'll NPC your character during the parts your gone. Let me know what you want to do.

It doesn't really matter that much. Whatever floats your boat.

Jed has been staring at a particularly interesting section of wall paneling. He turns around to find Dahak standing not two feet in front of him.

"GAH!" shouts the fighter as he draws, then quickly holsters his pistols. He then pushes past the warforged, blatantly eavesdropping on the conversation.

Ashur looks at the odd fellow calling himself "Justice Man" with some aprehension. And so does Dirk, as a matter of fact.

Captain Justice. Get it right, jerk. ;}

Jed Sparks: slightly delusional fighter who thinks he's a superhero.

Jed holsters his pistols, looking indignant.

"I'm on your side, and I didn't do a damn thing!"

As melodramatically as possible, the vigilante faces the silver-armored man.

"My name is Jedediah Sparks..."

Jed draws his cloak halfway about him (think Adam West as Batman)

"...but you may call me..."

He drops the edge of the cloak, striking a pose.

"CAPTAIN JUSTICE!"

The silver armored man turns and says, "I don't recognize you six so you must be new in town. So I'm going to be lienient and give you a chance to plead your case before I order your executions for murder, disruption of justice, and animating undead!"

Jed holsters his pistols, looking indignant.

"I'm on your side, and I didn't do a damn thing!"

what a cool job! The only thing I have done that is nearly as cool as that I work at a local theater. Mostly tech work, but still cool. I even got to work a performance at a really large theater here in Pueblo.

Gnarly.

what a cool job dude! what do you do at your job? Also, incredible dialoge, you had me rolling on the floor!

I'm an "assistant" at a public access local TV station-- basically an intern who isn't going to college. I file used tapes and DVDs, make runs to the soda machine, and screw around on the computer for a good part of the day. Since the entire station comprises a total of two rooms, and is located in the local high school's attic (because we're cheap bastards), we have to tape scool functions in order to keep our premises. Since there isn't a lot of stuff that ever happens in Ticonderoga, NY, myself and the four other guys that work there pretty much sit around all the time. It's pretty cool. But, alas (sort of), I leave the station in the summer to work at a Boy Scout camp, so I miss eight weeks out of the year. I'm leaving for job #2 in two weeks.

Would I be subject to the damage? I thought I was hiding under a table. But anyhoo... Refl= 8+12=20, made the DC and I take no damage thanks to improved evasion.

*doik!* I have evasion too. Duh!

Heh. Yesterday, my boss at the TV station (a fellow gamer) narrowly dodged a falling tripod. He explained how he (6'2", 340 lbs.) could move so quickly by saying "I have Evasion". My response: "Me too." I then proceeded to trip over a stack of blank VHS tapes and fall on my ass. I amended my statement by saying, "Scratch that. I have Uncanny Dodge. It's Uncanny how I cant't Dodge things."

Don't worry, I have something planned. if you're thinking what I think you're thinking, what you think I'm thinking would be moronic. Cheers.

Ah, but see, we know that you know what we think you think we think you're thinking we're thinking.

Therefore, obviously, we are going to intentionally let you think that, so that you won't think about what we're really thinking about thinking!

You think?

Why! Why! Why! Why do you do this to me?

The silver armored man shouts, "In the name of the Baron of Southshire and the Lord Mayor of Danport, I command you to throw your weapons to the floor and surrender NOW!" as he and the rest of the gaurds reload their weapons.

"I am the TRUE LAW! The WORD of GOD himself, you hear? And a TRUE lawman NEVER LETS GO OF HIS WEAPONS!"

Um, sorry, what was that Vissigoth, didn't hear you, something about you running the game? what game?

Reflex save: 17 + 7 = 24 (half damage)

Jed grunts in pain as he is grazed by several bullets. He silently praises his God for deflecting the bullets away from any vital areas. The vigilante rises to his feet, pistols uncocked and pointed towards the ceiling, slowly moving towards the city watch.

Initiative: natural 20 + 5 = 25

Jed is getting frustrated. He finally finishes reloading his pistols, and draws a bead on one of the gray-armored men with both guns.

Are you gonna give me attack and damage rolls?

Detect Evil first, then, if of evil alignment, I'll attack.

We've waited long enough.

Ashur and Jed delay thier actions until they get back (Jed can roll Init for the next round).

My frikkin' wireless adapter crapped out! Anyway...

Rules question: if a character joins the battle in the middle of a round, (or waits until the beginning of the next round to join) do they roll initiative normally, or do they go last in the initiative order?

I put you last in the Init order, but at the begining of the next round you can roll Init normaly.

That's what I thought, but I didn't have a PHB handy.

Jed fires his other pistol into the air.

"Stop, will you!? Stop this senseless violence!"

Jed is in the middle of reloading his pistol when the gang enters the tavern.

"Blast and Dang it!" he shouts, hurriedly finishing reloading.

He then leaps up onto a table and fires the other pistol straight up into the ceiling.

Hopefully, this causes a short pause in the scuffle. If not, Jed merely realizes how much of an idiot he's been acting like, and decides to stay out of it.

"Aaaahh, that's much better," drawls a cloaked figure that enters shortly after the metal man.

"Praise the Lord and Halleleujah! 'Tis a mighty fine tavern you have here!" he shouts, raising his arms, and accidentally discharging one of the exquisite dueling pistols tucked into his wide leather belt.

All eyes turn to the newcomer.

"Dayum. I'm very sorry about that, sir," he says to the bartender. He gives one of the serving wenches a wild-eyed look. "Kindly bring me some of your best ale, please."

The newcomer ambles over to a corner table and begins to reload his weapon.

Description: Jedediah 'Jed' Sparks is of average height and build, with longish dark brown hair. He bears a slight indent in one temple, and his strange yellow eyes gleam with righteous fervor. He speaks with a genteel drawl born of old money. Jed usually dresses in his suit of black studded leather armor and a thick, grey wool traveling cloak. A pair of fine dueling pistols are visibly strapped to his hips, and a thick-bladed short sword is sheathed in a scabbard on his back.

Just realized I didn't buy any gear. Oops. I'll be getting that to you soon.

Oh, s*@#e!

That reminds me... I have a gun, but no shot or powder.

*ding*

fixed.

*ding*

Jedediah is ready to do, well, whatever it is that he does.
