No worries, I just found it funny. :)
I'm like that, easily amused.
I actually had a legitimate excuse in character to mark another PC (playing an awakened Lynx). I'm hoping my easily amused nature doesn't start a PVP in the game. We'll see.
mdt sure is fond of Psychoactive Skins. I've always ignored the entry in 3.5, but I'll have to take another look at them.
Regarding the earlier conversation about powers, I'm not going to be picking up claws of the beast as an actual power,
You'll have to wait a while, Alister, but power stone + Craft Universal Items at 5th Level = Psychoreactive Skin: Skin of the Claw (8,000 gp, 16 days to craft).

Back to that 'equivalent magical device' idea. Hat of Disguise -> Psychoactive Skin of Disguise (utilizing Metamorphosis, minor or regular).
I'll be posting updates in the McIntyre plot tonight, and the Mintakia plot as well, if there's enough there for me to advance (I think there is, but need to double check).
Don't be afraid to (ooc) poke me with a stick if you need more plot fodder!

I'll be fine. I've got the PLA that I can activate by popping my psionic focus, and that should be good enough for me. It's a move action, and Bite of the Wolf is added on later. That'll be enough gor me, and I wouldn't want to use up resources in a redundant manner like that on my account.
Something I did realize that's a little unfortunate is that I won't be able to augment either the claws or the bite, though it's not too big a deal, I suppose.
Sorry, not feeling so good tonight. Also sort of waiting for Alys's first post. I'll update as soon as I can.
Playing up Connor's major-Clan attitude (what didn't get beat out of him the 2 weeks in prison). After all, somebody in the group has to keep the pre-game settings. Reaghar's "coloration" is not enough to change Connor's upbringing overnight.
I just feel that Connor's and Sammmark's first meeting will be...memorable. ;)
But the avians are supposed to be a little snooty towards the non-flyers, right? Just tell me if I'm overplaying it here.
Reaghar and Alister have the 'look' for this kind of plot, but I'm worried about Connor sticking out like a sore thumb. His lack of martial training from Clan McIntyre may be a lifesaver, since Connor won't look like he's used to wearing the stereotypical heavy armor and sword.
Nope, you're playing it fine.
And yes, Connor is going to be a fish out of water. Of course, that's not a problem from his handler's perspective. He's even less likely to be a plant due to his being soo out of his element. :)
I noticed i forgot to take one trait, because of my drawback. So I added Forlorn (elf trait; +1 trait bonus to fortitude), if that's alright.
oh my nonexistent gods sam break our bonds faster! It's like we're caught in some terrible time limbo where the ray slowly makes its way over in the course of days! :P
@Alys
Yep, that's fine.
@Selvan
You do realize that once a magical/psiconic device (like the ones you were wearing) are damaged and no longer attached correctly, they cease to function completely? Which means that even with it still attached to one wrist, you are no longer under it's affects?
I dont know if its damaged though only that sam made the attempt I did not want to presume. PArticularly since I did not know whether or not the guards will see adn take exception to the sonic blast on their boat. :)

There's a high-pitched whine, and the elvavian's manacles crack and one breaks loose. They were already old and damaged, and the additional sonic disruption made one of the hinges on the left wrist manacle fail, bits of brass falling to the floor of the boat.
The guards were about to kill Sammark with a 'witness' that he broke himself free. But he wasn't free, so they have hesitated. They're not really paying attention to Selvan.
Oh sorry I didnt see that part. my bad.

Hey Alister & Reaghar (McIntyre Plot),
Which work offer do you want to try? It looks like the docks have a Teamster's Guild - and I bet it's as bad as the historical Longshoremen's Union. The pirates are an obvious choice - to get us killed before we can find out anything. Smugglers: those are the ones we want, but how to get there without being set up and/or killed?
I don't want to hog the conversation here. Also, Reaghar has two options - the purple-skinned guy or this girl-child here who is interested in him.
In order to visualize the world mdt has made....
Go to this Google Docs link and take a look. I've made it editable so mdt can change it as needed.
Right back from a long day of familial events let's punch some people into submission.

nice. sorry i wasnt talkative, work ran long today.
Extremely nice! And really really really close!
I actually do have a map, I was going to post it after I updated it with all the stuff that's been fleshed out, but now I've been shamed into posting it by JHPace1! Anyone who puts that much effort into visualizing it deserves to see what I put down!
I'll add the link to the campaign page, but here's the file I have (fractal map maker 8.0 generated).
what is our plot called?

Me too, but it looks like Reaghar has had some luck in getting a smuggling contact.

I put Anrive close to Ash because I thought the wild magic from Ash was "blowing off" and doing that "heating up" of Anrive you detailed. I also thought the other three islands were rotating around Atalantius; I didn't know all four islands were rotating around a common point.

I'm terribly sorry. I saw all of the posts yesterday, but didn't want to post wen I got home, instead electing to take a nap at about 4 or 5 pm est, intending to post as soon as I got up. Here I am, at 6 am, having woken up about 20 minutes ago, and I'm walking back to school. Don't expect anything for at least an hour or so, a it's a 4 mile walk, but I'll try and get something up at school today.
On a related note, sleeping 13 hours or so makes me feel terrible.

Actually, you had it more right than you know. The three smaller do orbit around the larger continent. Although Anrive is hot due to something else, which you might find out eventually. :)
But the map has them kind of quartered more just to fit them all on the same map. If I'd put them in orbit, they'd have taken up twice as much space, and that JPG is HUGE as it is if I want it to show detail.

OH! Ok, sorry, I'll go modify if I still can.
Whoa - things don't look good for Selvan and Sammark!

Yeah, max damage on a mace. Blech.
Knew I should have just pommeled him unconscious.
Technically at 0hp I can still act but I'm staggered.
Don't forget Autohynosis: Willpower, Selvan!
"If reduced to 0 hit points (disabled), you can make an Autohypnosis check (DC 20). If successful, you can take a standard action while at 0 hit points without taking 1 point of damage (or any other action the DM deems strenuous, including some free actions such as casting a quickened spell). You must make a check for each strenuous action you want to take. A failed Autohypnosis check in this circumstance carries no direct penalty—you can choose not to take the strenuous action and thus avoid the hit point loss. If you do so anyway, you drop to –1 hit points, as normal when disabled."
By the by it appears that you roll initiative again each round?
Yep, usually.
And I usually assume anyone at 0 isn't wanting to take that additional -1 and don't bother rolling.
I forgot autohypnosis can allow you to act.
Usually no, but given the cicumstances....
Selvan, quick, use Autohypnosis: Resist Dying!
"You can attempt to subconsciously prevent yourself from dying. If you have negative hit points and are losing hit points (at 1 per round, 1 per hour), you can substitute a DC 15 Autohypnosis check for your d% roll to see if you become stable. If the check is successful, you stop losing hit points (you do not gain any hit points, however, as a result of the check). You can substitute this check for the Constitution check in later rounds if you are initially unsuccessful."
Um, I'm pretty sure I'm stabilized anyway. He did roll my con check successfuly after all.
Now I did my part. Let's see how Sammark handles being the wingless one on the boat pulled by the winged. :P
With style and panache, thank you.
More than likely it'll be early morning or morning before I get more updates in. Sorry, I'm not feeling so good (insomnia, eye strain).
Before I advance the McIntyre plot, I wanted to discuss a couple of things with that Trio.
To avoid confusion, the odd-looking woman was basically inviting Reaghar (and only Reaghar) to Daumer's Dump for drinks. Social cues are sometimes hard to read via text, so being explicit on that one.
So, there's three ways to handle it. Everyone can show up at the tavern, or Connor and Alistair can go investigate other opportunities while Reaghar is meeting with the girl, or I can do Reaghar's night on the town as a synopsis with some dice rolls.
It's up to you three how you want me to handle it.
Hmm i would say either we all show up or we just handle it as a synopsis with dice rolls while the other two look at other angles.
i'm not one to roleplay romance of any sort (dice rolls is good enough for me) and i'd rather not spend time with my character hogging spotlight in the bar scene while the other two twiddle their thumbs somewhere else (not saying they are ineffective or the GM has no plans for them, but i do consider this job offer to probably be our best bet).
I don't have a particular preference as to how to handle it, really. Everyone showing up, or Connor and I going off to find some other avenue, or even dice rolls, are all fine with me. If I had to pick, I'd probably pick for Connor and I to go off on our own to check out other opportunities, but as Reaghar said, his lead is probably our best bet.
If we do the 'synopsis' route, I'll need to know the following :
Reaghar
How much cash do you bring?
Are you willing to go back to her place at the end of the night?
What are you going to try to find out from her?
Alistair & Connor
What do the two of you do that night?
What are you investigating around town?
Is there anything specific you are looking for or asking about?
I'll "bank" 4 gp with the belongings i leave in my room (tattoo inks and such).
Sure (just dont want to RP that)
Just general information about the job, specific names is always good. who to look out for, who's on her side and is in need of assistance, areas that they do jobs in that it is perhaps best to avoid. things that one could do to advance faster to get more money. suspicions on who might be on the payroll of authorities so i can avoid them and not get thrown in jail again or executed.
As much as I don't like to split the party, if Reaghar's the only one who got the invite, then I don't want to spoil the contact.
If me and Alistair are left to ourselves, I'll probably go check out that central square job fair area. I know it's the wrong time of day, but it can't hurt to look around, read some of the offers posted, etc. Connor's not so blatant to openly ask "Hey, where's the magic smugglers?". But it can't hurt our cover to ask about jobs available to any of the bums hanging around the central square.
Reaghar, don't forget to put in a good word for Alistair & myself with the Clan Reville job.
Edit: If Connor gives Reaghar his psicrystal-on-a-chain, we'll have a way of tracking Reaghar, just in case.
Taking your crystal with should be an issue.
And he will put in a good word for them of course if she is the boss. At least he will mention that he will bring his prison gang.
