Doug M's Way of the Wicked (Inactive)

Game Master Douglas Muir 406

Just think of it like I was making glue and the boulder got stuck.

Glad we all survived, but it was frightening at times. There were a few instances like the webs which were an unexpected twist.

That was 'fun' DM, way to ramp up the tension.

I don't think most adventuring parties could have done any better than what we did for that test, lots of luck, skill and running like crazy, nice work guys!

We expended some resources, I hope we won't be hurting for the Judge's Summon spells in the next rooms, I think we should take stock, heal up, before proceeding

Spellcraft which potion is which as well.

If I could ask DM, how much time has passed?

Go ahead and roll your spellcraft check.

Time: about an hour and a half has elapsed in total. (Yeah, I know, seems like weeks.)

Cy - I don't have any summons, but I cannot use the summons when Morsum is with us anyway, and I just resummoned him.

Right, that part I knew but I thought you had one more spell just in case.

I actually think that I do have one left. I will have to check. Dog in the bugs, rat with the vampire mist, rat to visit Zargo, and I am not sure whether it was 4 or 5 suicidal ponies.

EDIT - went through DMDM's posts, pretty sure I sacrificed 5 ponies, so I am out of summons for the day. I have one spell left.

the suspense is killing me!!!

Cymu how did your finals go?

Its not suspense, its poor goblin decision making that is killing you.

buh dum dum

Cymu how did your finals go?

Thanks for asking, I have to really work for it, but I am an A student, so yep, I aced it.

:)

Not finals per se, like midterms for my financial and stock broker certifications.

any good stories from the clubbing scene lately?

we havent heard much from you lately. I figured it was a marathon of booze and boys after your testing was finished.

Funny! I don't marathon through boys, and try to go easy on the drinks but yep there was A (singular) boy and many drinks (unfortunately). I did sell a Rehoboam of Ace of Spades for $9K (yaay) at work, that basically a 4.5 bottles of champagne in one.

If you google Lavo New York or Marquee New York it shows a listing of all the djs that play when I'm at work.

And I'm settling down for a marathon session of rewriting a report on improving Romania's absorption capacity for EU construction funds.

Same planet, different worlds.

I just finished processing the monthly billing reports from our Vendor, takes about 8 hours, I am guessing I had more fun... :]

I am trying to organize 30 years of real estate transactions and correspondence between two parties. The other side gave me 13,000 disorganized pages to dig through. Just to be annoying they produced the pages as single page tiff files, 13,000 of them. I converted them into 250 page pdfs to make them easier to read, but still a pain in the a#$.

I just retired from the military.

I have you all beat! Substitute teaching for Middle School this week!

And congrats on retiring

@ Cymu I cannot imgine having that kind of money to blow on booze

Is this retirement after your full 20? If so, congratulations!

Judge, if most pages can be skimmed in 5 seconds (no idea if that's true, but taking it as an average), that's still about 20 hours of reading not counting prep work, note taking, or writing a summary. Dang.

Substitute teaching for middle school: some people have the Middle School Gene and love teaching that age group. I lack it, so (during my brief career as a teacher) 8th grade was pretty painful.

Oh god, what grade Bref? I occasionally sub at one of the schools near me for 2nd through 6th. I'm hoping to teach college level once I finish my Phd. College students are so much easier and whine less about work (generally).

I wish they were that fast. I have been naming each document/set of documents, and then have to compare each iteration of the individual documents to see if there are any differences. So far I have probably spent the better part of 4-5 weeks on it. Complete waste of time, but I have to do it.

Yes, 21 years and some change.

what service?

My father was in the Army just after Vietnam and my brother is Air Force right now.

Navy

Insert obligatory Village people reference here!

JK. Seriously congratulations on retirement. An incredible accomplishment.

A good friend of our family was navy as well. He said the worse part about being on the ship was he was constantly smacking his shins going through the doorways. I guess there is a lip you have to step over?

I had a friend in the Navgy who jumped ship after 10 years of service...wished he would have stuck it out for the last 10...congrat's and thank you for your service!

Thanks all. They call the lip around the door a "Knee Knocker". I only spent a year on a ship in 21 years, most of my time was in the desert.

Yes, 21 years and some change.

Nicely done and congratulations! Hope your on to bigger and even brighter things.

I wont telly you what I was doing 21 years ago.

I wont telly you what I was doing 21 years ago.

I was learning to say, numnum, mommy, dadda, Asmodeus.

I was fresh out of law school. If memory serves I had a court-appointed criminal defense case -- Gregorio Esteves had shot Bernardo "The Icepick" Negro, and I was defending him on a charge of attempted murder.

21 years ago some college was about to give me a degree - foolish college.

So basically I have to get off all your collective lawns.

I would be right there with you. I was in 4th grade.

Sounds like I'm the most gnarled and wheezulous MIX TAPE FLOPPY DISC CARD CATALOG PHONE BOOTH AREA CODES ALL HAD ZEROES IN THE MIDDLE AND WE LIKED IT THAT WAY hack hack gasp

I am pretty much there with you...quick geek quiz: my age is the answer to life, the universe and everything...how old am I Alex?

That would make you the same age as me.

And I still thing that Alan Rickman makes the greatest manically depressed infinitely intelligent robot ever.

Posting may be intermittent over the weekend, as I'm traveling down to Kinshasa, DR Congo. Carry on, though -- watching with interest.

that is a long time for bref to balance on ropes

lets go back and get the squire and make him do it

Why waste a squire when we have a Goblin? :]

ecause the squire can walk right through the circle

So can we. But if we disturb the silver, then whatever is being kept in can escape - if there is anything in there.

hey cymu lets talk about something young and hip!

Gang, I'm still around. Just, less consistently.

Three people posting on discussion and none on the main thread? Come on, get over there and play the actual game. What are you doing?

I posted my idea, just waiting on others to chime in.

As did I. Ready to do my tight rope act, even made the rolls.

I was not even four ...

Weekend will be tough for me too but I'll be fully back Monday! Be careful in the Congo!

NOT me but young and I was told I have her hips.

Humility aside for just a minute, I have a great butt.
