An Age of Deep Waters (Inactive)

Welcome

If you have not done so already please set up your alias in such a way that it contains your characters statistics and abilities in an easily accessed and understood way. I post from mobile from time to time and needing to access google docs, myth weavers, or a pdf makes doing so take that much longer

Dot dot!

I will revise my alias to see how can I improve it, specially I will put the basic statistics so they can be seen in every post.

Dot!

So, have everyone here played Souls?

DS I, DS III and Bloodborne!

Dash dot dash dot dash dash. This is going to be fun.

I played I&II, my current set up can't play three.

I've played them.

Yuria incoming, just got off work!

Also, about to beat DK III for the second time with Orion the Mighty, and have a PvP Luck Build (cheap as hell) called Lucky the Elf.

Been playing since Dark Souls I came out.

100% Hate Bloodborne ;)

Finally, one could only guess the shape Yuria uses to hug the tree with <3

Cool. I can't get myself to finish the first and to play the second past the forest. Good games, but every time something else comes up.

Did they fix the third one? At the start the optimization wasn't too good.

Finally, one could only guess the shape Yuria uses to hug the tree with <3

Is it "rejoice"? ;)

I didn't play the third on PC so I don't know. FromSoft has always sucked at PC ports so odds are it's still buggy.

Spooks, do you mean you'd like me to roll Perception or that the information is intended for me and anyone who passes the DC?

The latter.

Aaaand, I went and posted with the wrong alias. Apologies.

No problemo.

Shame. Shame. Shame. rings bell

Siegschwert stops and nods at Pergaal "Hollows... may be them. If they indeed are they may have gone beyond salvation... I will free them of their suffering."

Encounter time soon, comrades

For those of you who don't already know: I ignore the CR system.

If I believed in the CR System I wouldn't have enlisted to a Dark Soul's game!

The only thing I hope we don't face are wheely skelys

in fact, I do prefer the GG System. GG standing for "Git Gud". A marvelous system that measures enemy's power on player's tear.

Well...my first table accidentally skipped the tutorial boss and stumbled into some higher risk side areas, so they're having fun.

You guys are two levels higher!

Fortunately it doesn't seem your in an undead themed area, so there's that.

Nice map GM!

"Beginning to feel some unease..." Yes, I am.

Somethings rotten in the state of denmark.

Youre free to move yourself about the map however youd like.

Alright, think I'll stay where I am for now.

Initiative Order- figured I'd post this. Helps me keep my strats and everything else organized xD

Tie breaker went to Sir Siegschwert for having higher Dex, everything else should be as is GM.

Pengaal will have a few more hours to post.

In the meantime, a Poll!

In the event that a player is unable to post would you all rather:

1) I delay the character's initiative until they can post again

or

2) Designate an action caller who takes others turns for them when they are unable to act

I say a mix of both: first time mark, you get delayed ; second time mark, you get botted.

That's it, in combat. Until we get a long run, I don't feel confident to mimic any other's character well in a RP situation.

Based on the pace of PbP, I'm totally fine with getting botted if I don't post at least 1x or 2x in the 24 hour period.

I try to message tactics as well, just so that people know what Yuria's combat style would be.

I've no issue with being botted either, Pengaal's tactics should be fairly self-evident but I'll add annotations if I think something isn't clear.

Pengaal, Broken Blade maneuvers can only be used with Broken Blade discipline weapons (close, unarmed, and natural). Machetes are a light blade. Are you using Unarmed Strikes?

Yes, my damage and attack roll are both for an unarmed strike: +11 Attack bonus (-2 for the maneuver) and 1d8 damage.

If he is attacked, he will use Iron Shell to try and deflect the hit. Quick question, can those kind of counters be used after the attack is rolled i.e. only if the attack would hit my AC for example?

Yes

Yay for extra hardness and durability via DM fiat!

I will raise a question as it is related: I am okay and even prefer for you to roll our AoOs, saves and reflexive maneuvers instead of waiting for us to post.
I understand that it is even more work on your part, but if you are okay with it I do believe it would make combat go even smoother.

I'd prefer if your character were wanting to declare an AoO or reaction that you roll it, along with what parameters (such as "against the most damaging attack" or "first AoO opportunity versus X).

If I declare a saving throw or something that actually can hold up combat then I'll roll it, but for now we're keeping with 1/day pretty well.

Sir Siegschwert- I have 60 HP to serve your way through a blessing upon your call! xD xD xD

My apologies all - my work just let their overnight shift go and I'm one of the only few who are trained for the job - so my schedule has been a wreck for a few days there.

Sorry folks. Sleep now, post tomorrow.

Just so it's clear, Pengaal, you are NOT knocked prone or tripped or anything like that. You can act normally.

If any of you ever have a status condition effecting you I will make sure to note it using ooc.

Wanted to let everyone know I may not post for a day or two, so for combat, feel free to bot me in the same pattern you just saw in the most recent encounter.

If we get lost I'd use a soul for a knowledge geography check, etc. and replenish my souls as high as I could.

Boss has me going out to a day retreat in Chicago, spending it the night before. NO idea how the WiFi will be in the room xD

Back, post in the morning

Good, I think we're waiting on you to provide directions.

Alright, we're all getting back to the path?

Yep! Siegschwert didn't have much to add,so onwards! To glory!

All set! sorry about the wait again xD

Yuria is flying blind for the most part aside from the path distinguished-

Anyone with eyes care to take the lead? I'm all ready <3

Sorry for the delay!

Bump

Apologies, was waiting to see if anyone else had any questions for her before I said I was ready to go.

Same here! Siegschwert didn't have much to add but express his sorrow for the Witch's destiny -which I intended to express after her death-, but I will post it anyway ^^

I don't usually move things along until someone posts an explicit "I do x".

Posting delay for work, sorry folks.

Sorry for the continue delays. I'll try and get a post up later on this evening.
