Its screaming stuff Bloodless doesn't understand, and he's looking at things he doesn't comprehend. With nothing to stab he's at a lost end.
Hey that is how the tower shield specialist is feeling at the moment as well. Join the club. Stupid 2 skill points per level with horrible class skills thus far.
....Pollux disturbs me....
I win!
I like Robahl and really all the cast of the sixfold trial. I even brought back the cleric who technically has no speaking role with the pc's in the way the book is written.
But I ahd to introduce him to add a bit of menace to the proceedings in the casual way he speaks about trying to kill you on-stage.
From Tal's perspective it worked well as a menacing figure. Now if we could just have avoided some parts of the play itself.
Trevor referred to a poem as "prose".
Castor will have your eyes for this.
Damnit Tark, I'm a cleric not an actor.
Then again none of us are so C'est la vie.
MATT DAMON!
MATT DAMON!
For that you and Andrea1 suffer the curse. May it stay in your head until the end of days.
Ok. I guess I'm in, so here's Salm for your approval GM.
I guess so. I'll look things over and consider a good "in" . The group is kind of inactive right now so any active voice I can get to sort through the mess and not get stabbed while pushing things along would be good.
It's at this point I'm just saddened to see all the original rebel characters are gone. :(
Well, I dunno what your RL situation is but you do seem to spend more time in other topics rather than come down to the PbP section to sort things out first. But if Rl has you spending 14 hour days as an Emergency Room staff then I'll take my stabbing with no complaint.

I think you think I'm referring to the same game as yours. You and tal have kept things moving along well and you're moving the wastes along as well. My bad habits for getting into long stupid arguments with people aside(it really is bad I keep trying to hide threads that will suck me in and not let me out but its hard.).
No-no this time the slowdown is in another game inflicted by the massive infodump the nobles just suffered.
As both a heads up and an FYI - I shall be wending my way on holiday starting Monday, and will be out of the country from roughly 2-3 weeks give or take (through to about 10th April).
During such time my online time shall be curtailed from what I'm usually capable - which should engender a reduction in verbosity and potentially some unreliability when it comes to posting rates and speed.
I'm more that happy to be DMPC'd whenever it's appropriate, but am hopefuly that I should be able to keep up with all the PbPs that I'm currently playing in during the time down-under.
Is it weird that I read the above statement with Aussie inflection?
So still confused as to how much prep time there is between opening the box and visiting the nuns.
.
Also Apparently I did not make the check to racially profile No-body. Weird, could have sworn I made the DC but the post says I didn't. Very odd also that neither Tark not Cal called me on it. Could the old post be incorrect? I am assuming I just screwed up and read a spoiler I shouldn't have.
.
In any case without knowing what we no longer know about No-Body there is no reason to bring her(?) along. Pollux would leave her to entertain the children.
.
Also assuming there is one chance to re-memorize between the box and the nunnery then the identify check should ID the remaining unknown stick.
.
Sorry to be annoying but things are progressing through Tal-Trevor conversations without getting input from Cal or the Monkey. Was there a discussion as to which lead (nun vs arena) to follow that I missed?
A day between head on a stick and nuns sounds reasonable.
I am good with waiting a day in between but that is clearly up to Tark to decide. Plus that way we could prepare for the upcoming task at hand. I will wait to post any actions in the game thread until Tark confirms the timing of everything.
If nobody is not with us then Tal will proceed accordingly with opening the door.
Sorry Pollux as well I didn't mean to leave you out of the conversations with Trevor. It just happens that we were on at the same time.
Everything done so far could have been accomplished within the day. So unless you specify you waited a day to do so you are still on the day you opened the box.
No troubles. I expect it is all my kerfuffle as I am none too familiar with playing prepared casters.
Another Issue. Cal is built for diplomacy. This mission, either trading No-body for access to the corpse we need, or just talking our way past the door requires a diplomat.
Cal should be taking the lead here. It gives him a moment to shine and has the best chance of success. I for one do not want to get beaten up by nuns. I know it's all fun at first but you soon find it a hard habit to break.
Cal is currently in the land of murderous dropbears and terror spiders. Soe who wants to bot him?
Also, I thought someoen made the check. But that's fine. It makes no real relevance at this point.
But that's fine. It makes no real relevance at this point.
I beg to differ
I also was sure the Monkey made that check but the post in question shows a miss. Could the RNG not be keeping track of old rolls?
Re Cal. This is one of the reasons I favor doing the Tal-killing-things first. It is easier to bot someone in a fight than with all the talking.
On that note. Are my rebels dead? Just seems like none of the original crew are posting atm.
I think the problem is we are sort of stuck in a he said/she said conversation in a low post rate environment - so conversations take a long time to resolve, so there's little we can post/do until it does. And Bloodless would prefer to face stab the thing rather than get involved in conversation with it.
So unless there's some other stimuli then Bloodless is at a bit of a loose end awaiting outcome and direction - we're pretty clearly about to be given another tasking :)
I say just poke and look at things and ignore the head for bloodless. That's what worked for the nobles when literally all but one could talk to it. And he's the groups resident LSD tester.
Everybody has something to hide 'cept me and my severed head.
Tark: You good with ret-conning in the extra day twixt box and exit? If so there is an identify roll waiting in the thread.
Do we know what we know we know?
Nobs: thoughts on redirecting efforts in a more beat-sticky direction?
As soon a Tal can get the door open, we'll make the Massacre House live up to it's name.

Even though following the other lead will eat Cal's vacation time and he would be back to do the diplomacy that he has stated he enjoys doing?
It seems we are needlessly lessening Cal's enjoyment of the AP.
I would agree that since the door is closed and they did not let us in we can return with Caldazar next time. It gives us another day/time to deal with spell selection and hopefully Cal will be back then.
In the interest of keeping everyone active in their roles, I would agree with Pollux and go talk to Luccas this time. So knows maybe we are forced into returning and dealing with the nuns in the first place. Some AP's are designed that way forcing you in certain directions. As in Luccas is unavailable for the next 3 days as he has the flu. Return then. Something simple like that making people want to go to the nuns first.
Do what you want
On that note. Are my rebels dead?
ATHOS; "the musketeers are finished"
DARTAGNAN; "but I just got here"
So lonely.
How did you make Noonan's ability scores?
I believe he is about 23 points
10 str+2 human
10 Con
10 Dex
1 Wis
-4 Int
-4 cha
Yeah I thought he was a bit over. My fault for not auditing earlier. Keep them for now then after this combat please adjust down to 20. You can do it rather easily by dropping one of the 16's down to 15.
I'll get some updates tonight. busy day today.
Welp, just when you think you've seen it all someone like Pollux discusses the fine art of human petrification.
Glad to be of service.
I wonder how many people have themselves voluntarily turned to stone. One like cryogenics but more decorative round the house.
I suppose a version of the spell that only works on willing subjects could be researched and would be far below the 6th level for Flesh to Stone..
I see Time travelling Medusa cults (from the cults point of view anyway, and forward in time only) and Magratheans and stay behind soldiers and .... well a thousand and one household uses.
Then we get into the strangeness allowed by Stone Shape.. That really buries the needle on the old squik-meter.
Aw man.. Lenses of Petrification no longer exist.
Still once the Monkey can manage Dominate human and flesh to stone we are dumping this adventuring gig and moving into the custom statuary industry.
Now if I can just get the Photo studio scene from Austin Powers 2 out of his head.
Sigh I was htrying for House of Wax and I get Fat Bastard. I need a new Monkey.
What do you do if you catch a person making multiple posts and then deleting the first couple to get the right die rolls they want? This happened in my Reign of Winter campaign that I am running.
This is the second time I caught this guy doing this. The first time he make a post, did not like the result so changed his scion completely to one that did not require a die roll. Any advice would be helpful. I am currently wanting to kick him out of both games that he is in that I am running.
Hammer time.
The guy is cheating and not even doing it competently. I would toss them. If you want to be generous PM them that you noticed and ask them what the correct penalty should be.
If you want to be vindictive PM the group or post the issue, without names to the occ thread to watch them squirm. The drawback here is that the other players would likely mention how easy it is to cheat using the Preview function and there goes any proof.
Players are a dime a hundredweight on these boards. We/they can all be easily replaced.
That is one of the problems with pbp, it is quite easy to situationally alter your rolls. I have started to try to make all posts for skills and spellcraft checks alphabetically to avoid this.
My vote would be to give the group a general warning that this will not be tolerated. If you find it continuing, either toss the guy or use DM fiat to make that player's game less fun (attacks focus on him, traps hit him, random encounters appear next to him, etc). If he complains, simply explain that since he is cheating on his posts and rolls and making the game less fun for you as the DM, then you see no reason to be any different.
Either he will learn his lesson or he will b$~*& and moan and quit. Either way you win.
Don't worry about it.
Really it's one of those things where there's not much you can do and not many ways to prove it. You can keep a tally on his rolls and note how the dicebot seems to favor him immensely. That might curb it a bit.
You may notice I don't even roll on the boards when GM very often unless I have a sneaky, sneaky reason to.
As a player I've reached a point where I can play and build character where rolling is more or less inconsequential if it looks like the dicebot just straight up despises me.
