You Abadaran's are really good at making romance unromantic.
You Abadaran's are really good at making romance unromantic.
You act like there is no romance in suggesting that the woman you've just proposed to should pay for the crimes she's committed against Westcrown to you because you'll get a nice kickback on the collection fees.
::shakes head::
Some people don't understand romance.
All that said, I'm happy with the chance to have Appario 'propose' to the Lady. I've been planning that post out in my mind for better than a year...well, at least the framework of the proposal.
Thanks for making it happen, DM Are.
Thank you for making a series of great posts that made it easy to roleplay in response to them :)
I think you have good points regarding Abadar's likely view on marriage. Chammady might not agree as readily to adopt it, though ;)

The above applies quite frequently to this game in general, actually. I don't think I thank all of you enough for making me a much better DM and roleplayer :)
I'm just glad you're back. It's like Christmas in November!

Clauses for mistresses/man-whores should be more discreetly worded. This isn't some Calistrian swap-meet.
Us tribal-types with our passion, chemistry, and child-bearing worthiness are doing it wrong.

Facts are facts, man. You Shoanti lost your ancestral home (Korvosa) to a bunch of devil-worshiping, contract-loving Chelaxians. (See CotCT for details.)
Clearly, the power of civilization lies within the power of word on paper...not not on 'love' or any other fictions.

You make a good point. Better verbiage is needed, but surely the Abadaran High Lawyer has some boilerplate language that can be inserted.
But, yeah, you're right. Such things are meant to be discussed before the marriage contract is signed, not after.

Not cool bro.
Bah, all this talk of relationships and love/not love is a waste of time. All it does is intrude on being a brooding loner. *scowls
All you need is a katana.
I've heard katanas make everything better.
'cept for the guy at the other end of it.
Went with blood rage and jungle mind for spells. Yahirma was feeling out of touch with her roots, and this should keep things interesting. I have picked up a scroll of breath of life to cover that contingency as a result.
I don't think Yahirma can contribute to this discussion on what makes a proper marriage. Her conception makes her arguing true love or even economic security rather tough.

Boo! BOO!
Not being qualified to opine didn't stop the rest of these yahoos from OOC blathering, why would it stop you? ;)
You're one of the yahoos I wanted some free form opinions from.
Yahirma's View on Marriage: Marriage is a lovely thing that keeps family's together and helps to ensure a child growing well. That said, any community worth its salt behaves like (and might be) an extended family that shares the labor of raising children. In that sense, marriage is largely a way to keep adults from being too promiscuous and starting feuds out of jealousy. Marriage or no marriage is fine so long as everyone involved can still act like an adult.
Spiritualist and spirit animal both take a moment to recover before locking eyes again. "I thought we agreed. No. More. Excitement." With a guilty glance backward toward the stairs, the chicken looks to Yahirma, then the stairs, then Yahirma, as if weighing its odds.
"Bwaawk..." it concludes before returning to scratching at the floor.
That chicken is awesome :)
Have everyone (other than Derek, who should add his new armor, at least) updated their character sheets with all recently-crafted and recently-purchased items?
Edit: Oh, and could those who have named items without properties listed add a blurb with the properties of those items :)
I'm mostly sure that Maddok is fully updated.

Added to my profile and here:
Indemnity: +1 Agile Brestplate, Glamered
Extortion: +1 Holy Adamantine Bastard Sword
Surtax: +1 Adaptive Shortbow
Refund would be your cure wand, right?

Good point. Duly dubbed.
Working only after filling out paper-work in triplicate and a review on whether or not such services are required. :)
Judgement's Hand = +1 Menacing/+1 Bane(Evil Outsider) Guided Quarterstaff.
Derek won't acctually be USING the armor until it is enchanted. So for now it is only in the equipment fiel.
I believe I said earlier that you could consider it finished and fully enchanted (as long as the gp is paid, of course!) :)
Ah, sorry, must have missed that.
Say hello to Ser Kegan then, because with an armour like that, everyone will assume he is knightly anyway.
Edit: The only thing fallen behind now is the buckler.
But smoke me slowly, I've never had so much money to spare on a charater...I've no idea what to spend it all on.
I'm mostly sure that Maddok is fully updated.
It looks like you've broken your attack-sequence spoiler, where I think your weapon-information would have been.
I deleted it because it was out of date and forgot to get weapon info in there. I'll update again after work.
Xerath's at work but he just texted me to say that he'll offer to show the erinyes the contract.
Xerath, have you fully updated your character sheet? It looks like you only have the HD and Con-bonus for 10th level, for instance.
Also, your profile info states Fort +18, while the sheet states +14 (which is +16 with heroism). The other saves in the profile info are consistent with sheet plus heroism and haste; where does the additional +2 Fort come from?
I think the hit points are right.
level 1, 6+6
levels 2 through 11, 4+6 * 10
Plus 2 HP from favored class.
The saves I have no clue. His phone has been on the fritz so he can't check from work much these days.
Painlord's Guide to PbP Play. Someday I'll need to GM a PbP enough to be able to create one for GMs, but I'd be totally eclipsed by you DM Are.
Thanks for making me appreciate how good you are, DM Are.
What? A guide from that Painlord guy?
Totally not reading that!
That's a very nice guide, Painlord!
Those types of "push/hook" posts are indeed very helpful for a GM. For instance, in this game such posts (innocuous as they may have seemed at the time) have led to the invention and/or re-invention of several NPCs, with accompanying subplots in some cases. Plus they always make roleplaying easier :)
I'm sure you would be great as a GM; it's not like I had done any PBP-GM'ing before taking over this game, either!
And thanks for making me feel appreciated :)
Alright, I put Xerath through Herolab and he should be all fixed now. My save versus poison should be 14 + 4 so +18. Does 24 make it?
Sounds good :)
I'm afraid 24 doesn't make it either, but it's close.
Lame. Need more Infernal resistances.
This well distributed initiative doesn't make of expedient combat. =P
It's like they always say, quanity just doesn't beat quality, having three attacks is nice, but not as nice as one that HITS.
Your attacks aren't quite right little brother.

That's a good thread, Appario. I've added a few additional observations of what has worked well for me.
You sure? Normal attack is 15, +1 for haste, +2 for bane for 18, then reduce 2 for shaken and another 2 for combat expertise (Should be 3 but my trait reduces the penalty by one).
14 seems right to me.
Am I so blind I'm missing something?
Your damage is off by a bit.
It should be:
4 from strength
1 enhancement
2 enhancement (bane)
1d6 lightning
2d6 bane
Oooooh, right.
Well, I'm sure going to remember that next time, not that I expect it matters THIS round.
This well distributed initiative doesn't make of expedient combat. =P
Next round all of the PCs will be in-between the bone devil and the lemures, due to Yahirma's readied action to cast when Appario attacked, so things should become more expedient then :)
Derek: You're forgetting the +2 to attack from heroism. Might as well use it when Xerath spends all of his slots to grant it to everyone ;)
Yea seriously. My poor 3rd level slots..
