I'm sorry guys. I just passed out when I got home like 4 hours ago. Just woke up. work in construction supply, and one of my salesmen is out sick for a few days. So right now im just exhausted when i hit the door at home.
After I wake up a bit, i'll post so we can keep things moving.
Sounds like you're having a rough time, Feora. That's not cool.
Glad you're alright, GM! I'll admit, I was worried for a while.
Sorry, net went out last night. Making post now!
I'm ok. its more that im spending a lot of time delivering to job sites in a truck that has no AC, and lets say I could stand to lose more than just a few pounds. couple that with wet heat, as I live close to a river, and i pretty much just melt. Should not happen all the time though, as I am covering for someone that is sick.
Dagnabbit, Horatio! I thought that was Hill's post in Gameplay!
You know I live only to antagonize you, darling.
Taunt no more! Should be good to go for a while, now
I seriously need to play in more games with you guys. You are my comic relief as of late.
Well, If one of my games caves in (which it might by the looks of it) I'll keep this group in mind. :)
Ooh please do. The grind of signing up for games on the public recruitment thread is starting to make me want to stab my own face. That said, I feel extremely lucky to have made it into this game.
I feel lucky to have made it into this, as well. Hills is one of the best GM's I've played with on these boards.
Also, Olivius, I've been wondering - what is it with Horatio getting himself into trouble with conflicted Sarenrite oracles? Two out of three games, man. It's weird.
Fate man. Fate. ;)
Oh god, you mean Feora isnt his first huh? Going to have to take that into consideration now. Hmm... ;)
Well, you may technically be the first, but you're not the only. :P
No, no, Feora's the first. It's just that the other game we're in also has a beautiful oracle of Sarenrae. Aasimar, and life mystery, but still. It's interesting. Especially considering how Feora is torn between her fire and healing aspects, and the other is torn between her angelic blood and her bonds to hell.
And you KNOW what Horatio's like with pretty women. Of course he's going to make moves. Even if it gets him into trouble. >.>
Sounds like someone needs to step up his game, Olivius is up on the scoreboard, at least that is how I see the score. Just seems like either Horatio is slacking, or he lost his groove. :P
So, just out of curiosity, how many points did Horatio get for all the times he put himself in front of Feora to keep her safe? Or carrying her back to the campsite when she collapsed in the dungeon? Or giving her his shirt to use as a pillow?
He's trying, but damn, she's acknowledging nothing. :P
EDIT: But very well. It's time to bring out... the smoulder.
He is trying, that is for sure. And actually H, that exactly describes how I think their interactions have been thusfar. Though whether its because his smolder is broken or he's just having a few off days I am not entirely sure.
I'm gonna go with the broken smoulder. Poor guy can't catch a break.
He could catch a polyamorous fairy break, but he's speciesist :P
Think about the size difference. Ouch.
I mean, maybe if Trig hit him with a reduce person...
*slaps self* NO. Your mind does not go there, Ronnie.
Question is: Does reduce person affect the entire Horatio, or just little horatio?
And come on, Horatio wouldn't rather be with a woman that can get him hot and bothered just by looking at him?
Pretty sure reduce person affects the entire person. If it only affected certain parts of the anatomy, enlarge person would get a LOT more use.
And don't worry. There'll be moves made soon. Probably at a time when Feora isn't stressing out. :p Mmm, dat 18 charisma...
Once again, many apologies and thank you all for baring with me while this newborn screams her head off. It is starting to look like Annie has colic, so rest is tough and when I get home from work, I'm often taking her so that my wife can get a break from her. That being said, I'm not going anywhere and I will post as often as I can, and once she calms down this will be much, much easier to manage. So as long as you can bare with me, I'm here.
Oh, Colic. Heaven bless you, man. I hope that calms down quick. Having a regular infant was hard enough.
Be praying for you brother, that cannot be an easy task. Hope things even out for you soon, and the poor baby.
And Horatio, the real problem is that your 18 is going up against my 18. So at that point it's just a roll of the dice. ;)
Ye gods, man. Hope your spawn has a speedy recovery. That sounds really rough. =( Good on you for giving your wife a break. You take care of little Annie, and we'll be here waiting. =)
Feora, the dice are bound to side with me sooner or later. Probability and all. I'd be safer not making any rolls, and just role-playing out the 'smoulder'.
Well, bring it on I say. And may the odds be ever in your favor. ;)
It shall be brought! At a more opportune time. When the kobolds aren't getting all stabbity.
Oh come on, a more romantic guy, with his shiny 18 charisma, would be able to apply his smolder whilst dueling a dozen kobolds and flirting with his lady. Are you saying Horatio is not such a man?
Challenge accepted.
Right now the only thing Horatio is dueling is his little happy bow. Olivius, on the other hand... ;)
You're stopping a Caydenite from bravely leaping into action. This is YOUR fault. :p
*uses superheated hands to pop popcorn* Gentlemen, round one..., FIGHT!
I cast charm person. I win. :p
Like a stunned mullet: Dazed, confused, bewildered. The phrase, first recorded in the 1950s, alludes to the goggle-eyed stare (and sometimes gaping mouth) of a fish that has been recently caught and made unconscious. A person typically looks like a stunned mullet as the result of a sudden shock or surprise.
First thing that came to mind after Feora's last IC comment.
Ok guys, after a catatonic weekend, and somewhat being aware this morning, I think things are starting to normalize out. Most everyone is back from vacation, and so I am going to try and keep in touch better. I will probably post more from the office on my breaks than at home, just depends on the day and how things go.
*picks up campaign; blows off the dust*
This thing on?
Think so, hope Mr Gm is doing ok
Yeah, I hope so too. =(
New baby = very busy. I was surprised he said he'd be able to continue after the baby came.
Yeah. I'm not a parent, but one of the guys in my group had his first daughter over Christmas, and he couldn't come to the game for a few weeks while his wife got back on her feet. I know it's busy work, and takes a lot of adjusting.
I just hope he and his are all alright.
Ya, I'm not surprised that he's been offline. I just hope he comes back soon.
Ditto. Guys know of any games that I could jump into? I'm down to a Waking Rune that im running on my 10 theurge, and thats about it.
I'll be starting a module game after my skull and shackles is done, but they still have several encounters left so it may take a while. Any modules you like or that you'd like to see run, anyone?
Anything really. I've been trying to get in on so many AP games that its kind of disheartening. Haven't been looking for the last month or so. Though I know a lot of that is just the grinder of the recruitment threads.
Well, I'll not be running full AP's. If I do run AP content, it'll only be one book of an AP at a time (and not necessarily the first one).
Ugh, life blows right now. Volunteering is crazy - every day, kids are coming in with bizarre issues. One boy fractured his hand on another kid's jaw; a haemophiliac boy got punched in the chest hard enough to leave a lump; a six-year-old stapled his thumb because the teacher wasn't looking... On top of that, I haven't been able to get my prescription refilled for my antidepressants, so I've been all over the place, I just found out one of the guys in my Kingmaker game is mates with the wanker who threw a rock at my car and beats his girlfriend (my nineteen year old sister), and said wanker has been spouting s*++ to turn my player against me...
Basically, if Horatio seemed a bit snarky and OoC last night, it's because my head is a bleeding mess right now. I'll try to get my head back in the game and not post when I'm feeling so terrible.
