There are also a lot of crits flying around so far. That being said Migari is like, what, level 16 or 17? Personally I don't mind playing second-fiddle right now since it feels appropriate to the story. Plus mdt is pretty worldly so I doubt this will devolve into "DMPC: The Game".
Once we get to Yu'Shi I'm sure things will develop more.

I don't think Migari does enough damage. Only 147? ;)

mdt |

Will do Gav.
LOL, will try to post up tonight, slammed at work.
Note that's his 'one hit wonder' special, he can only do it once per day. But it's a doozy when it goes off (PFS legal build by the way).

Tsume Sasayaku |

Best of luck Gavmania.
and ... wasn't trying to throw shade at mdt's GMing chops with the sideshow crack. It was just a "holy s#&$" when I saw some very big numbers.

Kasani Takahashi |

Hope all goes well, Gav!
---
Those big numbers just give me a target to aim for. While Kasani likely won't want to take down Migari ever, I now have some idea of what I'd need to beat in case he ever goes darkside on us.
I don't know if anyone else ever does this, but it's been an underlying theme in my regular gaming groups... oh, for as long as I can remember. For some reason, everyone looks at everyone else like a potential threat that might need to be neutralized, like Tony Stark building the Hulkbuster armor in case Hulk ever got out of control, or Batman keeping a bit of kryptonite handy incase Supes ever loses it.
I don't know why we always do this, but I find myself doing it now too =P

Kimiko |

sure, ready to move on

Was too slammed to respond earlier.
1) Best of luck as well Gav.
2) No worries, the whole first part of the introduction is more to get you an idea of the world than anything else. This is a high-fantasy area, and I want to bring it forward that there are absolute monsters walking calmly right along perfectly normal farmers. Migari is one of the 10 most powerful people in the island, most likely. Note I said people, not entities. :) Travel with him is going to be relatively calm, mainly because only an idiot would attack him. And idiocy is a self solving issue, as that person is likely removed from the gene pool. He won't be along most of the time. He'll be off dealing with real threats, and you guys will be off dealing with what, are to him, nuisances. This isn't to say your characters aren't good, they are just not in his league, and people in his league don't waste their time taking out a village of uppity Onika. Fortunately for you, most things at his level, unless you make a nuisance of yourselves, have pretty much the same outlook, you aren't worth the effort.
Things will get more interesting once the testing starts, and even more when missions start getting handed out.

I'm ready to move on.

I'm back, but have the plague...well healing from the plague, sorry about the absence. Gavmania good news about thebsurgery, hope the pains subside.

I'm a bit laid up at the moment and probably can't post till tomorrow...
Feel free to bot me 'til then if I'm holding you up!

Kasani Takahashi |

Just so you fantastic folks are aware, I'll be away camping this weekend (leaving early Friday morning) and there's no reception up on the mountain. So, I'll be unable to post until I get back sometime on Sunday.
I look forward to reading about Migari's surprising defeat at our hands when I get back! =)

Tsume Sasayaku |

Seems I'm confused about initiative order, but no matter, I wasn't going to hit him anyway. But you forgot to confirm his crit. Not that I'm complaining. That would kill me.
Also, I'm going to be busy as hell until Monday, so bot me as needed.

NPC - MDT's Voice |

Can't crit with a training weapon. That's why he has four. They shatter if they crit.

Well, there you go. Disregard me then.

mdt |

Making a posting in all games I'm running and playing in.
For those who have noticed that the last 3-4 weeks I've been spotty and somewhat irritable, I apologize. There's a lot of work things going on, and also some RL things going on. As of this morning, the surgeons confirmed my wife needs a fairly serious operation, which is now scheduled for the end of the month.
I will continue to be here, but, especially toward the end of May, I'm likely to be very very spotty and cranky. Sorry in advance. Please bear with me.
If things get to the point where I need to place things on hold, I'll let you know, but I don't think it'll get there (assuming nothing bad happens).

Dunja Hanna |

Many sympathies GM, take whatever time you need.

Lingfeng Shangguan |

Understood. You do what you gotta do. For what it's worth, I do hope everything goes well!

Xú Yanyeeku |

Best wishes to the spouse, full understanding to you mdt.

Tsume Sasayaku |

Best wishes for you and spouse.
When gaming starts to feel like a responsibility, it's probably time to step away. In the meantime, going into patience mode.

Kimiko |

mdt - all thoughts and prayers for a successful procedure and quick recovery for your wife. Whatever time you need, take it with our blessings, as family trumps game any time.

mdt |

Post in all games :
Wife's surgery got moved back a day (scheduling issues in OR). Surgery was completed last night, went smoothly, doctor very pleased with himself. :) Wife awake and says even with the pain from the surgery it's a night and day difference in how she felt before, so good news on that front. I'm afraid I'll be busy again today, but hopefully will be able to get all games caught up and going again by end of week.

Kimiko |

huzzah! good news! take your time, we'll be here and patient when you return on whatever schedule you need.

Xú Yanyeeku |

Great news

Did my Sleep spell have any effect?

mdt |

I'm waiting for you to tell me if you want to move it, see post. They moved before you cast, so I wanted to know if you wanted to re-position it, since you go after they do...

Dunja Hanna |

I guess I missed that somehow. I moved it over one square.

Xú Yanyeeku |

. Family emergency, be back soon

Xú Yanyeeku |

This is to all my games: I should be back "online" by the evening of May 28. A pair of back to back emergencies in my family (one of which involved gunshot wounds the other a simple infection run amok situation) has put significant strain on my day to day resources partnered with some massive issues at work, compounded by the time I have missed because of said emergencies. I am commited to returning I just need a couple more days.

mdt |

Condolences on both counts. Take your time, we'll be here.
On a related note, my wife is going to be coming home from rehab early, she's done that well. So I'll be somewhat spotty again until Monday.

Lingfeng Shangguan |

I always do so badly on Initiative. ;_;
It's times like these that I really wish I had more utility spells. Whenever my turn comes around, I guess it's blasting time!
