Just a heads up. There may be a few days this week I can't post due to work. We have a project that we're trying to knock out and I'm the one that's having to rebuild the site.
Honestly, I should have spelled out that Olivius would have thought not to disturb Moro after such a beating. She probably slept until well after he left. Maybe she should come over and try to hit a black kite. :)
heh, That's fine, I'm going to be picking up with the opening speeches and then I'll be moving to this evening on Friday. I hope that this isn't moving too slowly for you all. I'm trying to pace myself to avoid burn out.
This is an alright pace for out of combat. When there are rounds and dice involved it will move as fast as it will move. It's the nature of PbP.
"Oh, I'm just going to work for the day," I thought. "I won't miss too much," I thought... That'll teach me to be a responsible adult. >.>
Responsibility is so overrated! :p
Unfortunately, when one volunteers in a primary school, one has to be responsible. *sigh*
It's not that he dislikes Horatio, he just sees his smoke for what it is, smoke, and he hasn't seen him prove himrself to be more than smoke and mirrors. Once that happens then Olivius will warm up. :). Until then, expect to be called Limp-Wrist a lot. :P
i guess Horatio is not to fond of noro
but that is alright not many really are...
Oooooo boy. 44 posts. 44! I hope I can get a post up tonight.
I'd say we were foaming at the mouth if it wasn't all good stuff.
lol Very, very true.
Horatio wants some damn answers from Noro. If he's going to stop flirting with Ameiko, there'd better be a bloody good reason for it. :P
And Olivius, I fully approve of the character conflict we've got going on so far! I'm sure the proving time will come, but for now, yeah, I fully expect the insults. :P
Sorry I haven't been too active. Been very under the weather lately. I am hoping to get over it soon but my posting will be slow for the time being.
I just chose a random place near the center to start, if we need to be somewhere specific you can change it for me, GM, or I can. either way.
To sleepy to repy will post later
Is there any way to reduce the width of the columns on the spreadsheet?
Done.
If anyone's getting bum-rushed it's Horatio. He needs to get behind somebody. :P
Well, Olivius wants to get bum-rushed, so I'm not sure he counts.
That is what I built him for. :D
Q: What is the most used function in your browser?
A: Refresh. My far. It's kinda sad, actually.
Refresh no longer, Round 1 is over, we are in round 2!
Horatio, once the whole raid is over, would you mind nudging me about revisiting this post? That’s a topic Pavanna would feel the need to go into with Horatio, and at some length, but it’s really not the sort of side-discussion you can hold in the middle of terrorising/interrogating a prisoner — especially since our GM is going to drop the other shoe any second. Side-conversations like that generally get rather thoroughly and permanently derailed by fresh goblin-attacks. :S
Haha, sure thing. Poor guy can't say anything without Pavanna latching on, can he? :P
And yeah, I'm just waiting for the second wave to hit. Or for the goblin to bite my face off. :S
Well, he’s cute, engaging, and clearly troubled, and Pavanna’s one of those people who can’t resist trying to help a friend. (That I have a runaway keyboard when it comes to playing the character and building on her backstory may also be a factor. :S She’s actually proving somewhat more complex than I anticipated....)
Good god, I know what you mean. Every time I type up a post, I keep thinking "How much character development do I have, and how much can I get away with now?" I wish the bastard was as one-dimensional as he pretends to be.
Damned if he isn't fun to talk about with my gaming group, though. Every few days my meatspace GM asks for a running total of "how many people want to punch the bard in the face, or have already done so". (So far I've got Lou, Noro, and possibly Olivius.)
Oh, Olivius has wanted to see it happen, and I nearly made him try after that last comment he made. But Pavanna took care of it for me. :)
If Horatio doesn't get punched in the face at some point, I'm not playing him right. I'm just hoping by the time it happens, he and Olivius will be mates* and at least someone will come to his defense... Even if everybody else is just shaking their heads and going "yeah, dude, you deserved that."
*used in the Australian slang sense, because no other word quite conveys the same meaning.
If Horatio doesn't get punched in the face at some point, I'm not playing him right.
I'll do it!
I thought Noro would be first to volunteer! As an aside, I'm all for playing him to be irritating as hell to other characters, but I don't want to annoy the people behind the screens too much. If you think I'm overdoing anything, call me out on it.
Hah, no worries. You should try adventuring with me sometime!
(That's my bi-polar Oracle)
-Olivius.
In my friend's homebrew game, I play a dragon-blooded gnome sorcerer who's an escaped slave. She has no freakin' clue how the world works, and she's dangerously impulsive as a result. She sees a lever; she pulls the lever. She sees a ditch in the floor, she jumps in. She's only 2'3" and cries when people call her short. The half-elf ranger has taken a real shine to her - he's had a new set of pauldrons specially crafted that act as a saddle for her, complete with a small quiver for her to keep her wands and rods in so she can fire them over his head. It's rather adorable.
I think Kara would get along rather well with Pip, actually, what with them both being high-charisma, low-wisdom!
Gnome Linnorm/Water-blooded sorceress. Originally made for RotRL, was going to go into Eldricht Knight with a bastard sword. :)
Gnomes are such fun little psychos.
Oh yes. I need to actually play her in the CotCT game I'm running, she is the Arcane caster.
Victoria doesn't need no thistle arrows. That poor goblin's Soul is going to be bleeding!
I don’t know if that’s an outright crit-and-kill, Victoria, but even if it isn’t, you sure as hell got that warchanter’s attention: well done. ;D
For the record, that was me marking peoples’ targets with (*ATTACKERNAME); strike-through marks hostiles who are dead or incapacitated. I figure we need to keep track of who’s hitting what somehow, after all. :-\ Does anyone object to the method?
(And FWIW, Goblin #1 stays ‘active’ because it’s conceivable he might get loose, or be cut loose by his chums, and rejoin the fight. Wet pants notwithstanding.)
No objections here. Anything that helps me keep track of things is alright in my book.
Also, hot damn, Victoria. I've never had a character be that succesful in a single round. Good job!
I did once but it was a totally different character in a totally different game at a way higher level.
needless to say he did 288 damage after his flurry of blows was all done.
In a lvl 19 double wealth campaign while smiting my record is 900 even. Second place is 517ish. :D

thats cool, I was only level 16 and no magic items. just a poor monk that had to save his girlfriend.
Yeah, uh... My maximum damage is 10 with a wand of burning hands. >.> My aforementioned gnome sorcerer is the longest-running character I've got. So if Horatio ever seems hilariously inept, it's because the player has almost no practical experience. Not because he himself is inept. (Or so he wants you to believe...)
I've basically only ever been a GM, so I don't have any cool personal stories about how much damage I've done. Howeva, a player of mine did once die from killing the yrthak that happened to be carrying him hundreds of feet in the air.

Ya, our party monk almost can't help but do over 1,000 damage/round if he full attacks. He's taking advantage of some generous rules interpretation by our GM, however, so his build is technically invalid.
That's the game I'll be playing tonight, in fact, so if my posting's a little slow youall know why.

Yeah, high level paladin's smiting can get pretty ridiculous. That's why I prefer the archer paladin. More full attacks, and most of the arrows are at full BAB. (Out of 6 arrows at level 16+, 3 are at full. Heck, at level 7 when this character would get Many Shot, 3 out of 4 arrows fired at full BAB. Slap another on for when I have speed or haste)
If you're playing gestalt though, stagger rogue and ninja levels. Start with a level of fighter/rogue, then go ninja/rogue. At level 20 you'll have 20d6 sneak attack. Throw on improved unarmed strike/sap adept/sap master/knockout artist and the twf tree and an agile/speed amulet of mighty fists with the bandit archetype and bam, you're tossing around 8d3+320d6+960+(8 times dexterity modifier) damage in a surprise round if all attacks connect. Heck, if you can convince your DM that your hands are concealed, then you max out the 320d6 for a nice clean 8d3+2880+(8 times dexterity modifier). That's just abusing gestalt though.
I've done this with/without gestalt to most of the classes. I usually make such a build, then nerf it some for the sake of character and move on with life. Haha.
If we were in a gestalt game (and not against so many undead) I would try that! That may be the most beautiful abuse of gestalt I've ever seen.
