Works for me. :)
Sounds good! (^_^)
I ken also be scoutin' an' stuffs.
See, Wil? Everybody has a fun side. Even paladins. LOL!
It was sweet of the ladies to dote on you. Suny, in particular, showed Wil that he was an elf. That was a great exchange. The differences between them were stark.
An elf who's known the idyllic simple life elves can live among their own kind, contrasted with the principled warrior who's suffered so much around humans, is touching. *thumbs up smilie*
Seltyn's been a little weird, lately.
Seltyn was raised by academics. There aren't many left, as a portion of the population, compared to the heights of elven culture not so long ago, by elven reckoning. But it is a lost age, in most ways.
The Queen knew his name before he knew hers. Around the castle, most everyone did. They were almost all older than him. They had years to know him. He felt loved, but he didn't think he was particularly special or privileged. There was nothing else to compare his life to.
*Bows To Setlyn.
Glad I am t'be addin' t' th' adventure an'a fun. (^_^)
Lookin' forwards t' much adventure and exploratin'. An' not jus' o' th' world around us. (^_~)
Very much cheers to all.
The elves' defeat by the cultists was what ate at him. It was bound to be a tough fight, any way it went, but it took a dryad to save the party, not the other way around, and that memory still tortures him. He's watched every elf who's fallen since with the same sense of failure.
He understood, objectively, how dangerous these quests would be. He wasn't prepared for how much it would hurt, long after the physical injuries were forgotten.
He also understood, objectively, that this journey was no different than the rest. The Queen didn't have much to throw at any one pursuit. She had at least a premonition, this time. Nothing comforting about it, but these are not comforting times for the people.
He understands how dire things really are for elvenkind. They need alliances and influence, and these assignments must create opportunities for both, or else the elves would remain weak and isolated, and at the mercy of whatever forces might decide to attack. Maybe not in this century, but soon enough.
Hehe the setting with Suny was a lot of fun, plus rping Wil's age difference is interesting as well I think Thalas and Azlain are the only ones older then him while the rest are either younger or unknown :) I'm glad the differences were noticeable I'm trying hard to make Wil more human like then elven in the way he acts.
I had hoped for the exchange with Elorin to carry a little longer, but all in good time. :)
He's a deeper character then I could ever portray and more ahead of his time as well. One day I will find a way to turn his journal into an item to boost his skill checks for healing. :) one step at a time though.
BTW I love the insight on Seltyn :) can't wait to see more of it in game. :D
Azlain's age is sort of a complicated concept...
Yep I know. :). Hence why you and Thalas are the 'oldest'. :D
Windfavor supervises a one day installation of the ballista in the now to give the weapon maximum coverage.
Scrolls to level 3 are available at std prices.
Gotcha :) still best to determine our tactical arrangements before we start a battle. lol
Seltyn has about 100 gp., I think. He buys a scroll of magic missile and attempts to learn it.
He sorta already knew it...LOL. He's got the following scrolls, the best of which he got from Thalas.
Scrolls: Grease (CL 1), Protection from Evil (CL 1)
Enlarge Person (CL 1)
Blur (CL 3)
Two scrolls of Haste (CL 5)
The strategy he likes is this: 3 of us can cast dancing lights. There should be at least one such spell up at all times at night, moving around over the water to illuminate any threats ASAP. Having a round or 2 to fire arrows and a ballista bolt or 2 before we close would be sweet. The thing(s) may have magic, but he has no way to shut it down.
Seltyn will use a haste scroll, giving 5 of us more speed and maybe an extra attack, then start casting whatever works to kill the enemy. Elorin or Suny can augment that advantage with inspire courage.
The key, to him, is spotting the threat early. We'll use our good perception and skilled archers to weaken it before it gets close. If it tries to board us or sink us, our speedy warriors will filet it!
If anyone has any more ideas, he's all long, pointy ears.
I love that change in tactcs, Wil is a very martial character and Magic is actually a new blessing to him. Hes had divine strength but among humans its more a Might Makes Right kind of world. Hence why he focused on the Martial weapons sort of approach. :)
Haste and Good Hope are two Awesome spells to put together add inspire courage and your are really raking in to-hit and damage. lol :D
I have Aid and Bull's Strength prepared in my level 2 spell slots, which should help someone a lot. Eitehr Wil or Azlain depending on who's closest to me at the time.
My wife and I are going on another little trip this weekend, so will not be available this Friday through Sunday.
kk we will NPC you if needed bud, hope thats okay!
Word of advice, while traveling with wife don't check phone to update your characters or to 'just see what is happening'.
Lol
No kidding or else your subject to wife aggro, Cr 33 with Word of Nagging, no save, followed by Doom eye, no save and Cone of Silence. ;D
My solution was to teach her to play and rope her into the PbP game I run.
Now she nags me about checking my games more often.
lmao!
lol. Cant say I have that issue. mostly because everyone I know socially games. besides that, my most recent partner was is in more PbP games than I am.
I don't expect to have reception where we're going, so I'm safe from temptation! :D But even if I did, my trip last week was too action-packed for me to post anything anyways.
I ran my wife through the Beginner Box, but Sir Crys-a-lot (he actually doesn't) came along and there hasn't been any time to get her to play since.
Assigning watches randomly is fine by me.
This encounter was one of the hardest. Just to warn you.
Christ, I am looking at it thinking TPK :D
NEVER!
Aye, but we'll go down fighting! *shakes fist*
Good news is the survivors will be leveling :-)
It'll be fine as long as I can get to Azlain or Wil to cast all my spells to buff them out the wazoo. /overconfident?
Aye, 'tis what'cah call'it? "Reverse philology" (^_^)
Someone remind me next time to detect evil on the shipwreck survivors...
Good luck everyone!
So where's Elorin? I think the map listings are incomplete.
Hmm time to see how dead my character is.
PS it was so very cool waking up to this today, energized my morning better than coffee.
Into the fray!!....
Well that is not good, oops!
If I survive the strangulation. I shall fight to end!!!!!
hehe Wil won't be a survivor I can tell you that. :P Hes gonna make sure you all survive over himself...
Yeah I am lol, but I don't know what the square size is AND I just woke up. Keep swimming ranger boy. lol :p If she had been sleeping in the hold then I'd be able to reach her a little more quickly but for some reason everyone wants to sleep on deck. xD
That is if I am understanding the map right.
Next round I am going to cut that wretched little Human down...
I am not sure where I was sleeping, Where the DM put me. Thank you Wil, even if you cant get to me, thanks for trying. If I die I shall haunt the survivor and all who dare attack them!!!! Fear ghost Elorin for her song will be the last thing you hear in the mortal realm!!!
Anytime Elorin, you just keep wiggling and I'm gonna put a sword in this guys guts.
Here's a question... I know this is core only so I'm assuming we don't have hero points right?
I have an excuse. :)
Everyone else, I'm assuming it was because the hold is only 10x10 and Wil snores like a congested dwarf...
lmao!
Nice, coming from the guy whose face is a wreck. xD Very Nice!
I just saw that I cure Fatigue Twice now lol, my normal mercy is remove fatigue and the necklace I received does it as well. :)
I'm effectively going on "vacation" in less than 10 minutes; feel free to NPC me to keep things moving over the next few day. My plan was to follow Azlain around and buff and heal as necessary since he's closest to me.
For those of you who weren't here last time I npced Talon for a day, I have done so in the past and if he is here he can take over as soon as he wants. But for the most part this will keep things moving abit~
I can handle Thalas as well, that is if Chainmail isn't already got a handle on it, but since Combat is fresh handling them both will be easy.
:)
Woot! My very own healbot-backpack!
Lol! Nice azlain!
And looks Elorin ain't dying today! Too bad that little punk didn't stick around I was going to introduce him to my friend mister pointy stabalotathings....
*Giggles* Who's sayin' he's gon'a make it away from'a boat? (^_~)
