(5b) A World Apart - Team Dolphin (Inactive)

Game Master mdt

Yep, see the original recruitment thread.

I'm still sort of waiting for the group to decide what they are doing now that Tolla's all heavily injured.

So.... does the crickets mean I should close this down?

Hey y'all.

I've sent mdt a PM to this effect as well, but I'm going to be bowing out of this campaign. I've enjoyed playing with you all, but I've just found it difficult to get into this campaign style, and I want to yield my playing opportunity to someone who would appreciate it more. I'm going to figure out what the best way to extricate Tolla would be with mdt.

Best wishes, maybe I'll see you in future games. :)

We'll just NPC Tolla for now.

Hate to see you go Tolla, but I'm glad that you're willing to offer your spot to someone else rather than try to continue with something that isn't doing it for you. I'll see you around ;)

Smashed phone, overlong conference, crummy hotel with crappy (read horrid) internet and flights up and down the west coast later...here I am...

Sorry for the delay, Glad to be back.

Sorry to se you go Tolla, but I agree with Ladile that it is better to bow out rather than push yourself. Supposed to be fun, after all.

Checking in; leveling up Palo will take me just a tad bit longer than normal since I'm using an adjusted version of the summoner class but I should be able to have everything sorted within the next day or so :)

Note, now that you have a local guide, you can begin learning the local dialect of Common. You don't have to put a point in linguistics for it, it's just learning the local dialect. It'll take about 3 months game time for everyone to pick up the local common.

Yay a level. What to do, what to do...

We can do just Avg +1 HD is that right? Which would be 6 or should I roll?

I'll end up with that plus 3 more hp from Toughness and Con.

2 skill points, +1 for FC

Perception
Intim
Sense Motive

+1 to Str

+1 BAB

+1 For Save

Power Attack as bonus feat.

Anyone see anything I am missing? I love leveling fighters so easy...too bad that makes it sad later in levels but...head high! LOL

If you remember, for HP per level, it's whatever you picked at character creation, average +1 or roll. So I suggest checking the original recruitment thread to see what you originally used. :)

I didn't roll in the thread so I must have taken the average.

I'm waiting for all leveling to be complete before I move us forward, don't want to hit a random encounter with people not fully upgraded.

Okay, think I finally got Palo and Relas leveled up and everything in its proper place. Let me know if I've goofed the math on anything or forgotten something!

So I;m not wrong then that Gniel seems to be gone too?

Sorry all, been sickish since friday, will try to get a post up today.

And no, Gniel seems to have dropped out as well. I will look for replacements.

New characters applying in the original recruitment thread. Go take a look, and feel free to discuss over here. Some of them might read though, so keep in mind. PM if you prefer. You three get to decide which players you want. We're replacing Tolla and Gniel.

Okay, I'll try and work on reading some of the new submissions tonight! :)

having some trouble at home, might be monday before I can post.

It'll probably be tomorrow before I can post, folks. I'm trying to recover after a combination of yesterday's 3 hours of sleep and 5 hour energy drink. Bad, bad combo. Remind me not to do that again.

Hey all, not dead but I did have RL stuff come up unexpectedly over the past couple of days so I apologize for my absence. Feel free to not me if combat/story needs to be moved along, otherwise I'll work on getting caught up later tonight!

Enh the pillar is making us wait anyway so its not like we can do TOO much, LOL.

Team Dolphin, ftw!

Yeah we are the nice social ones! We also got beat up a lot but it sounds like not as much as them...I love that everyone was like "uhhh yeah, I'll just stay with *my* group, thanks."

Well, a large part of being beaten up badly for them was loading crates on a ship while people threw Acrette charged alchemical items through a wall to explode on them (and taking on said people at 2 to 1 odds).

Yeah we haven't tried to do anything like that....and hopefully we can keep it that way!

Ok, so I've been giving people time to RP and figure out next steps. Is everyone ready for me to advance things?

Sure.

OkL'lld0whaticam.

Relas is beginning to think that he needs a new day job because he gets beat up a lot more when he attempts to scout ;)

Part of it is the low HP. On the other hand, he feels much better the next day. :) Paloma doesn't. :)

OkL'lld0whaticam.

Lol. Ok, I got a new keyboard (the old one eventually died - that's what happens when your daughter spills drink on it).

My wife ruined two laptops in a row pouring orange juice into them.

Oookkaayy

In my profile is a spoiler (at the bottom) called "The Pile". This represents everything we were dragging around but I think this time we should just leave it and come back if we are desperate. I currently am carrying the 78 rations we have remaining not including anything Paloma or the newcomers might have had.

There are some weapons and exploring gear. If there is anything you think your character would take, let me know and I will drop it from the pile.

If I can get most of the rations off of me I will be back at a light load which might be nice, but I don;t want to force it because I can drop the bag if I need to.

Palakka doesn't normally carry items. He can, but he would need someone to load and unload him.

Sorry, folks. Inner ear infection. I'll catch back up in a couple of days. Bot me if need be.

I'm guessing Relas is pretty much out of it until healed up. Might be better to stay with the main party, I can scout alone.

You might be better off sending Palakka out alone. Relas is at 1/2 or 1/4 HP doing scouting. On top of the 1/2 hp for not being fully powered up every day. Then Palakka could teleport back if something attacks.

Does magic function wonkily in the hectate? If so, how does that impact my bard spells?

Yes,
You get 1 magic 'point' per Hit Die per day.

1 magic point will do the following :

1) Power 1 level 1 spell
2) Power any/all racial spell like abilities
3) Power 1 Supernatural ability from class (such as a hex)
4) Power all cantrips all day

3 magic points will power a 2nd level spell.
5 magic points will power a 3rd level spell.
etc

Accrette (condensed magic) can be found in animals. One Unit of Accrette equals 1 magic point. Accrette, in it's natural form, evaporates at the point of 1 magic point per week. Accrette is (so far as the pc's know), gathered from animals and creatures, and seems to have something to do with what type of terrain you are in. For example, Yellow accrette seems to be found in Plains areas, and is heavily linked to Illusion and light magic.

This is what they've figured out so far.

Is everyone ready to continue?

That is just enough to fuel my cantrips and spells slots. Dang. These lands are not kind to casters!

Ok, I'll start moving people ahead again tomorrow, or later tonight, if I get the energy, it's been a long week and weekend.

So yeah...I'm back. Was at the verge of a breakdown, due to bordering on job loss, family's health is failing, my own health is all over the place, and hours at work are getting ridiculously long for the minimal pay.

Sorry to hear that. Do you want me to pray for you?

Condolences Baru

Good luck Baru. Hopefully our fantastical hijinks are something that help.

I hope we havent'. If we keep hemmoraging people, I might consolidate the two groups again when you level up.

Sorry. I'm still struggling, but I am going to try and make it back. Work...well, work is making me consider a complete move.
