I figured as much. It's the only way to keep the forest from becoming a blazing inferno.
It is also that same Shielding that you need to think of when casting certain spells.
I am working on the initial post. If you want roll Exploration Initiative & Combat Initiative.
EDIT: The Exploration thread is under the Discussion Tab.
Are we buffing in the open? Actions through PM? Spoilers? How would you like it done?
PMs are fine. As are Spoilers if you would like.
All rolls are allowed to be sent to me via PMs as well.
Shouldn't these questions be in the Discussion forum, and the introduction/game play posts be in the Gameplay forum?
I am using Discussion for Exploration and Gameplay for Combat Results.
It is mainly do to the fact that this is a fall back set-up for the campaign.
MotG: If you would please join me here (https://app.roll20.net/join/62685/rE_iOw), I can show you my rolls live.
(You may need to sign up for the free service though.)
I'm there. Should be under Azaelas
I see you're name on the Campaign description page.
What do you see now that you're there? Hopefully, it's a big white grid with a chat box to the right.
If not, click LAUNCH CAMPAIGN and tell me what happens.
I'm joining now.
To-Everyone:
You just tell me what you are doing in a PM & I will let you post the observable parts of the action.
quick question, and probably a really dumb one, how do you roll in a pm? It doesn't seem to work for me.
Ok then...
Seems you will need to go to the dice rolling thread or such.
ok thanks. Posted in discussion. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Um, I seem to not be able to roll in the PM anymore as well. I can roll on the Gameplay thread as well or you can roll for me. If you want me to roll on the thread I will just spoiler them.
Just roll like Jezebel rolled.
(Spoilered rolls)
What is the expected speed of this game? Should I be refreshing every 5 minutes for the rest of the evening? Or are we to throw in a post (round, or other increment) each day/week/whatever?
GM, you know my defensive anti-being seen abilities and Masked Participant's visual abilities, so unless when we were summoned all our 24 hour buffs disappeared (which would suck for me..), does Masked Participant/others see my character?
^ I would be curious about this too (i.e. whether my common buffs would need to be applied openly or not).
at least once a day.
& Diajoubu. They only have the basic understanding of where you fell.
Basically, you came to the arena 2 Hours after waking.
I also presume our spells aren't ticking down during the time it takes the latecomers to cast? Otherwise I'm gonna be burning a lot of wand of shield charges. :P
Basically your spells are not being timed until the first round of open action.

So, the big ones are probably still on. Cool.

Hope not, or I'll be running through hastes pretty darn quickly too.
Also, with all the invisibility, I'm curious, how do we know what works and/or what doesn't? See Invisibility/True Seeing/Arcane Sight might see through 'em... but on the other hand they might not, such as with the ninja's capstone ability, or a mind blank. This makes for some curious circumstances.
Is there some way we can clarify this, without giving up who's using what and whether or not it's effective or not on certain people? (PM's to the GM probably being the simplest solution, in theory.)
PM me and I will be able to tell you.
If combat is now open, I'd like to full attack the masked participant please.
I'm presuming where I went to has LoS to where he just walked. If I'm incorrect, well, oops.
Actions are not open yet.
You will know when they are.

That's fine so long as you don't think I won't get an initiative roll to (potentially) respond first.
Also, do you really think attacking the avatar of the Master of the Games to be a good idea?
Jezebel appears and offers to shine the masked participants boots...if you have boots under that cloak lol. :-P jk

Do you really think someone who joined an insane trickster god's tournament of bloody death is going to be smart?
Besides, he's* the Masked Participant. Not Masked Referee.
Regardless, my propensity to fire was mainly based on the fact that you were probably the only person still visible.
*defaulting to masculine pronouns for ease of language.
Besides, he's* the Masked Participant. Not Masked Referee.
I could just as easily have called "him" the "Avatar of the Master of Games," but that would have spoiled the surprise. Better that you all started out thinking "him" to be a participant. Trickster gods tend to do misleading things like that.
Besides, I'm still under 10 posts. I can still change the name to something more appropriate if necessary (though I still like "participant" since "he" will defend "himself" should "he" need to do so).
For all you know, the GM specifically asked me to help him co-GM this game by playing (what would normally be) an NPC.
I'll leave it to you to decide what for yourself what is true and what is not. Just do me a favor and base your actions on what your character knows, not on metagame information (which I am trying to limit).
Are the hexes still 1 mile each?
Yes. But if you succeed in beating your challenger at an Opposed DEX Check you can outmaneuver them to a new hex.
Also, I'm immune to being surprised, so, doesn't that mean that I get to act in the surprise round?
Normally, You would but not against a Deities Magic. You get to go after MP.
Ah, figured. Boo.
Heading to bed, see you all in the am. Hopefully I won't die before then.

I will figure your actions for when your turn comes...

How can you be immune to surprise? I don't think that's possible per the rules. Immunity applies to things like fire, or conditions like daze.
Do you mean to say that you have an ability that allows you to act in the surprise round despite being surprised? Or perhaps you have uncanny dodge and thus can't be caught flat-footed?
I'm going to be laughing like crazy if Diajoubu is the only one brave and stupid enough to hold his ground in hopes of getting a one on one fight with someone else. Anyway, I believe Varin and Riple go before me.
"You are never surprised" is the quote from the rules.
That sounds like immunity to me.
Don't Oracles have a Curse that makes them immune and I think there is an item that does it.
The initiative sheet is pretty clear about the order of things when in combat.
Yep.
The initiative sheet is pretty clear about the order of things when in combat.
Indeed. As I figured Masked and Quick already ported out, that leaves only Varin and Ripple with higher initiatives so far.

A moment of silence :c

I feel bad now. But I gave a lot of warnings.
Wait. What happened exactly? She left via one of the six paths and was incinerated?
You didn't exactly make it clear that being above the paths didn't protect you, if you weren't inside the corridors. I was about to make the same mistake.
Of course, that's what I'm guessing happened. I'm not even sure yet how we're supposed to leave. I'm guessing there are corridors.
I warned her that she didn't want to leave the Corridors. Either Up or Down.
Though that was using Telepathy(PMs) She said Diagonally Up and Down one of the Corridors. That means Alitude & one of the Directions that has a Corridor. So she ended up 1200ft out Diagonally up and out. That puts her above the 20 foot ceiling of the Arena's Tower's Walls.
Fang filled grin.
what that was really really unclear. I thought you were saying stay over one of the paths which is what I did.
I didnt realize there were actual coverings over the paths.
