Happy Holidays to all. :)
All must eat turkey, or it'll be the Turkey Wars of '08 all over again! And then I have to eat the stuff.
Azri: Technically, I don't have a functioning stomach...
Happy Holidays! No turkey, but I've eaten three different types of lasagna in the last 24 hours, and we've got leftovers. D:
...can I come to your house, Selena? That sounds delicious.
Well, as a GM I'd probably house rule it to allow it in. It takes a fair bit to get it, and given this is a pretty high powered game, it's not too horrifying.
...also, who are you?
Considering all the transformation talk, I'd venture a guess that's Ellara. She's probably just polymorphed into someone else.
Wasn't me.
Nae, I made sure the wee bitty was nae one of ye, ye ken? Ye cannae say I dinnae take more care than that!
...whoops, Umbriak escaped again.
.... wait. I was ALSO thinking of the wrong game. Dee herp dee derp dee derp derp.
Back in the other game with you, spooky lady.
...can I come to your house, Selena? That sounds delicious.
Eh, we finished it just after I posted the message: the bream and shrimps one really was de-
Rant out of nowhere and following posts
Uh.....uh?
Don't question the madness. Just go with it.
*Gives Mihara a waffle drizzled with chocolate syrup*
The madness is what keeps this game running.
I think you'll find my upcoming divinity is what keeps everything running...
*runs off giggling wildly*
All these strange characters barging in on this discussion thread. Truly, truly fascinating.
In fairness, 'strange character' is something I've been called before...
Good correction. Aibek would either try to completely ignore that or, failing that, likely fall over laughing.
...Selena wears stuff other than jewelry and a smile? I thought that was the reason for most of her Charisma modifier...the smile, I mean.
Hey, I'm wearing that shirt they gave me!
...That I'm considering to sell to buy the Anaconda's Coils. Christmas recycling and all that.
I say we start a war fund, Nigrum volunteers to manage that. So many defenses to build. :D
If it's not to much trouble can someone put up a summary of the places we have explored/claimed?
I'll do a summary of your exploits and a re-done loot list during the upcoming break, although with a little luck, a lot of caffiene and a cheese salad sandwich I might actually start working on stuff today. It's near the top of my to-do list, anyway.
No rush, but personally I am looking forward to a little building and such. Does that make me weird? ;P
Only if it makes me weird too! So, yeah, you're pretty damned weird.
Of course it does, Nigrum. Everyone knows PCs are all murderhobos who are interested only in how to wreck stuff and extract maximum value from it. v.v Shame. Shaaaaaaame.
...remind me again, what happened to the poor Basilisk that tried to eat you guys? I mean, I don't think any of you kept its skull, but...
Pretty sure we tried to harvest what we could from it. But I don't remember all that well honestly. I do remember we rained down hell on it.
Also for the record, Nigrum is a bounty hunter so he is more a cripplehobo. xP
I'm fairly sure we managed to harvest its hide, and we made jokes about basilisk skin bikinis turning people to stone. Maybe we did something with it, tough...I'll look for it.
So, I've looked over the old posts and this is what I got:
-Arrived in Khalarum, got boats from slavers
-Cleared the Thirsty Dryad, went to the Pharasmin graveyard to bury zeldath's Skeleton
-Fixed the water pump, befriended the crystal dragoness and her child. (Pump was sabotaged trough panpipes, did we found who it was responsible?)
-Befriended the Bekilk Kobolds and took back the arsenal, found a lot of materials
-Cleared the temple of Aroden
-Khalarum got attacked, got ourselves sent to Elysium and came back
That's it in broad strokes. I still have to visualize what's where, but I think that 3 of the islands are currently relatively clear (Starting Island, Thirsty Dryad/Pump Island, Industrial/Arsenal island).
PS: The whole attack/tower exploration took a lot of time!
If I remember right, and I may not, the pipes were altered by someone. After the alteration they busted them up because of the sound. I think most of our woes come from that parasite that keeps popping up.
Good news is he has been double dealing and we shamelessly ratted him out to one of his employers. x)
...Maybe this will be useful. I am intending to add a two-three paragraph summary of each one too, but I only started working on this last night.
On a related note, you'll notice that the character section has been started too. If you would prefer another image (not a big question mark for Aibek, Nigrum and Mihara) then feel free to send me one. I'd also appreciate a paragraph summary of your character
But the two areas you have completely secure are the central Island holding the Towers and Thirsty Dryad, and the island holding the village. The other five have been visited and locations cleared, but I'd be hesitant to say they were too secure.
Effectively, securing all seven right at the start will be difficult, and likely not needed, because you won't need the space and don't have the man power.
Azri is the art demon, go find me a good one for Nigrum if you would. ;P
This is the best I can find for Nigrum at the moment. Who knew finding a draconic like armor with a guy in it using a big sword was difficult. If anyone comes across something good, please let me know.
...How big of a sword are we talking, exactly?
The first one's hair is to long, his is short to stop enemies from grabbing it in a fight. You ever get skull tossed by a troll by way of your hair, not something to be repeated. I actually like the second one's armor style a little, aside from the feather up top. But yeah that sword if it can be called that, is likely 7 feet plus without counting the hilt and such which throws it into polearm territory or makes it a giant's sword. ;)
As for Nigrum's sword, the jade regent from the pathfinder AP uses the same weapon as Nigrum so you can use that as a reference in a picture. But seeing as it's nicknamed a horse chopper, the blade is pretty long coming in around 4 through 6 feet alone not counting the hilt and such. Big but not giant for Nigrum, akin to a bastard sword in western culture but a little longer maybe depending.
P.S. Hey Jon when did you give me a pet red dragon? :D
...Maybe this will be useful. I am intending to add a two-three paragraph summary of each one too, but I only started working on this last night.
Ooooh, cool! What should the one paragraph summary look like? Also, I'm still thinking about it, but I have an idea for what Selena will plan on doing during the IC break.
I'm also seriously thinking about setting up a small website to house all the information for this game. Seriously, the Campaign Info section is about to explode, and I haven't even started dumping the rules stuff in there.
That, and the image I use for Selena is NSFW.
That image doesn't look NSFW at all. :P
@Nigrum: For character images, you could look into the endless abyss that is this drive.
Not quite right, I think. >.> Alphacoders' Wallpaper Abyss is a good source for awesome pics, though.
I wouldn't say 'pet' so much, unless you start dipping into the Dragonrider class, but rather 'weighing up potential snackrafices.'
And Selena, I'm looking into whether naked people are allowed on the webhost I'm using. I try not to get shouted at by larger corporations than me, unless I'm within striking distance.
Given their terms, I suspect not.
It's debatable. You can post non-sexual nudity. But I'm not inclined to test what they consider non-sexual.
Hm. I'll need to find some pictures for Mihara. As I had figured Mihara's appearance around this one little gallery avatar, I may need to get creative... or retcon some.
Also, Mihara's template is Fey creature, not Fey-touched.
Worst-case scenario, you can always just email them and ask if they'd be willing to take a look and give you a ruling. Most website hosts are generally willing to do that when there's a potential breach of their terms.
Yeah, I got nothing. At this point my mental image of Mihara is the alias's current avatar. Any chance you can nab that for the site, or is copyrighted materials off limits?
