Cellion, do we actually know the name of this disease or are you just putting it on the tracker for bookkeeping purposes?

Also, to everyone else, Jellico can cast Remove Affliction three times today. I think that will take care of the disease, but it'll take the rest of my level 3 spells

I'm putting it on the tracker for bookkeeping. In character, you'd know that something doesn't feel right about the wounds you took. Once this combat is over you can diagnose yourselves with a Medicine check.

All,

I'm so sorry, but I have some huge obligations at work that will keep me from posting through next Wednesday. I have a confluence of some of my worst cases and am feeling overwhelmed. I'll catch up soon.

No prob Spec. I'll do what I can to bot you until then.

I don't know if simply jumping is going to be enough. These islands are 40 ft, 30 ft, and 50 ft away, and various distances in elevation too. Even with a running start, I don't think you can jump farther than your movement.

What about firing the grappling hook and doing a hand-over-hand thing?

My athletics is pretty bad, so I'm going to have problems however we try it.

yeah I am thinking a hand-over-hand thing too, of course being secured to the transversing cable will be a must.

Hey all,

Just finished my awful, no good work week and am wading back into posting. Hallelujah!

I may remain slow through the weekend as I try to catch up on everything else that I had slide, but by Monday I'll be back full throttle.

lacking further input from others, let's go with my plan combo with ted's plan. he should use his own jump jets. i'll write up something that sketches out the narrative

What happens on a bad roll? Asking for a friend...

Uh-oh...

Would it be possible to Aid Another with Jelico's Athletics check, like to coach him through it?

Maybe just a cheap pistol then Arc. I mean, you need some ability to do damage in these situations. Sorry I don't mean to be bossy but Jelico could have died.

All the damage in the world won't make a difference if my to-hit bonus can't keep up. That's the whole point of throwing weapons like these: so STR-focused characters like me can do ranged damage. But I spent all my creds getting a better sword.

put a returning weapon fusion on it. actually I have that on my hammer now. I just have to remember to use it like that.

First we need money and access to one. And a better starknife, frankly, this one's still a basic level 1 item.

fusions can be switched in and out

I know that, what I'm saying is that even if I get a returning fusion, this particular starknife's barely better than a toy boomerang for the stuff we're fighting.

My 9th level Soldier still uses her level 1 starknife. Between the strength mod and weapon specialization, its pretty darn good (d4+15 is a meaty hit, comparable with another character's 2d8+9 laser rifle). The called fusion is critical.

I could just take my called fusion out of my sword and put it back in the starknife, if that's the case.

that glove of storing is awesome. it would be great to store a backup weapon in it, but I don't have a strong need for it. Might be good for Arc to always have his starknife "on hand" since he doesn't have four arms or a power armor weapon mount.

FYI, I'm going on an RV trip for a week tomorrow (visiting Glacier National Park).

I AM taking my laptop and plan to keep up (at least to the best I can) on posting, and I know we're supposed to have WIFI, but no guarantees. Feel free to bot if I haven't posted.

I'll be out and about this week too, visiting Idaho starting tomorrow, and should also have connectivity, but please bot as needed.

Gotcha both of you. I'll do my best to bot as necessary.

Good one, Spectre!

Fire bros, Isu? ;)

bring it and I'll dodge it!

i'm having the worst luck with my grenades.

I've been downright useless today.

Double moves are ok in this round? Just wanna make sure if I can do 50 ft per round or just 25.

Double moves are A-OK. This is a normal round.

Darnit, we keep whiffing these Strength rolls!

Isu to the rescue!

vaca time! For the next week I'll be away from my routine, but will have internet access. that might just mean you'll have to bot me once or twice but for the most part I should keep up.

alrighty back from vacation. I leveled up, level 8 was very boring (level 7 soldier)

Besides slight numerical increases, I took a gear boost aka feat boost. Spinning Cleave: Make cleave attacks against enemies who aren't adjacent to each other.

So now my cleaves won't be worthless anymore!

I took Haste for my new 3rd level spell. The rest was boilerplate.

Arcalinte can FLY now (at least in battle)!

Very cool stuff for Jelico and Arc!

Besides the stat increases, Ted gained Entropic Grasp (spell) and Flash Teleport (ability).

i feel like the forums ate my post. Does anyone see my attack? I'm hitting refresh like 10 times.

I don't see anything.

That damage finish it off, GM? Otherwise I'll take the 23 on the chin and take my official turn.

Interesting gear! I am definitely interested in the artillery laser, but do we spend an hour to fix them up after making all this noise? I would think we press on. (I believe we can at least use them until their current charges are used, so maybe 1-2 battles)

Rough saves there, Arc.

I'm sorry. I met an IRL friend after work and that meant I didn't have any computer time to post with.

I'm back! But I would feel bad about rejoining so I'm going to lurk. I'm really happy you all are still here :D

Welcome back!

Personally, I’d love to have you return. Come back for real

Hi Sydney! Nice to meet you.

Cellion, can I use my Shooting Star post for this round then?

Cellion, can I use my Shooting Star post for this round then?

Sounds good to me!

Also, hi again Sydney! How have you been doing?

Hello! Nice to meet you too! :)

I've been doing well despite the covid pandemic. I feel like I'm recharged and ready to pick up play-by-post again. I got caught up in another hobby but I've been missing play-by-post for a while. If there is an upcoming moment where Sydney can slip back in, I'll love to update her to level 8!

we can't be TOO far away from the next book
