Buffalo was certainly a weird case since the storm created this knife shaped front that dumped huge amounts of snow in this really narrow band that didn't even cover the whole city. It would be funny if it wasn't so serious. They showed video of it on my local news channel. It was like a thick fog that came off the water and dumped snow right on the edge of the lakes. Some parts of the city didn't even have any appreciable snow fall. Just shows how amazing nature can be.
BACK!
And no, no internet connection issues (that I know of, anyway...).
No, issue was of a vehicular nature. Long story short: Getting a new car this weekend, one that isn't as old as I am, too! That, and work (several employees laid off after failed drug tests, so I had to pick up a lot of slack until we can get some new hands hired). But I'm off this weekend, and besides church and my sunday live game, I have no plans! Yay!
Sorry to hear about the craziness but cool about the new to you car :)
Sorry to hear about the craziness but cool about the new to you car :)
Indeed! Could be worse, but honestly besides crashing out yesterday, I am adjusting quickly. At the very least, the company I work for has at least started doing interviews (well, more like have some people coming in this weekend for interviews).
So Kir is going to stay with Oleg. I don't know if we want to leave more than one there. Remember it is also an extra mouth to feed for Oleg. Hans and Gernon can be useful to us doing camp work. Cadell doesn't want to do the work himself. lol
I think leaving the one (Kir) with Oleg is fair and the best idea. Rowena would not have issue with taking Hans and Gernon along with us for the time being.
It will be nice to have lackeys
Is everyone else okay with bringing Hans and Gernon along as we explore? :)
I am okay with Hans and Gernon. I am not so sure about Rowena and Alex. Maybe they would rather go off somewhere and have a picnic together. lol
Sorry sometimes I can't resist being an ass.
Scoundrel. :p
I don't mind them coming along it wasn't my first choice but at this point we have got them to swear a magical oath so they appear to be sincere at least. Good job again on that Ro.
The capricious nature of the fey runs in your family due to some intermingling of fey blood or magic. You are more emotional than most, prone to bouts of joy and rage.
Sometimes, having fey blood isn't as great as it sounds.
Thanks, Alex. :) Just wanted to make sure we were all okay with having them with us.
@Tass: The emotional aspect will be an interesting dynamic to play out ... and will be another layer of Tassira to uncover, explore and understand (for the rest of us). :)
btw Tass, the "They are not flirting. They are NOT flirting", Is that simply a loud thought bubble that the rest of us aren't privy to, or did Tass actually say the words out aloud?
It's a loud thought bubble. But I imagine her face is readable enough that everyone can probably figure out what's bothering her.
Thanks for the clarification. Didn't want to respond to it and have Tas think "Hey, you can read minds now?!" ;)
No problem. :)
I just hope I'm not coming across as going overboard with it.
Actually, I quite liked it! So it's all good. :)
Pity Ro's SM check wasn't one higher. ;)
Yeah. I thought Ro had ranks in Sense Motive--IIRC, it is on the Cleric skill list.
Then again, if nobody else notices Tass' mood swinging, then I'll be very surprised.
Alas, we clerics don't get many skill ranks ... I will put a rank in SM once we level. :)
I think it would be great if one of the guys notices Tass' confusion/agitation(?)...
Sure, Wizards get the same amount of skill ranks, but they've generally got high intelligence (16-18 range). They can get away with it.
Clerics, on the other hand... not so much, I'm afraid. :)
I love my int based casters for that reason. Its why I have a hard time playing a sorcerer most times. I like being a know it all too much :)
I like the RP Tass. Good thing Alex doesn't have any ranks in sense motive because he would be confused. lol
Well, Ro is very confused about everything presently even though her player was the one who could read Tass' mind. lol
I don't have ranks in SM either, but thought i'd roll for the Hells of it. Turned out ok. :)
I apologize about my absence. Internet was temporarily down over the weekend (sudden repair after some jerk crashed outside Friday night).
It is now repaired, thankfully, apparently sometime during the day while at work. So, let me catch up and post!
Logging off for the night. Will check the board in my morning.
Night.
Hope everyone had a pleasant Thanksgiving (or at least a pleasant day if not American)?
I did, thanks. A bit tiring with a large family, but nice to see some folk i don't see that often.
Sheoll, the Horse Whisperer, lol!
...and Tassira being the exact opposite of that. :(
I made up the name Kalak when I offered it up, having no idea there was a character out there by that name. Pure coincidence. :)
It's just as well, considering his death is where most of the Dark Sun Campaign Setting starts. :)
Soft Fall: You negate damage when you fall off a mount. If you fail the Ride check, you take 1d6 points of damage and are prone. This usage does not take an action.
It doesn't say whether or not it's lethal... I'm assuming it was supposed to.
Wasn't Kalak the priest king or one of them that was holding the line against the great dragon or something like that. Admittedly It has been a long time since I played dark sun or read any of the books so I might be miss remembering. Not to mention being one of settings I was mehh about.
I believe weather or not it is lethal or none lethal damage depends on what you are landing on.

@Alex: Rowena discovered a dagger among the things on the leader, Happ's body. You could take that one for one of our new recruits.
Thanks for posting the list, again.
thanks for the reminder I believe I added it to Alexanders equipment when no one indicated they wanted it.
@Alex: Sorry, I had forgotten you had "claimed" them. No worries then.
up too late! goodnight all. :)
night Sheoll.
Last time I tell people I am on vacation...
Right, catch up time and then no more dealing with people for the next 30 hours in real life.
Do you guys want me to keep Touch of Truthtelling on my prepared spells (in the morning) or can I have Ro prepare another spell in its place?
Honestly, I'm fine with that spell.
what ever you think is best
I would think in most cases if we need the Touch of Truthtelling spell it will likely be a situation we can wait on. As Cadell said which ever you feel is best.
HaHa very funny Cadell take the horse of the only person that actually has the ride skill. I can see that the mount spell will be among my next spell selections.
Ro dropped 'create water' and prepared 'spark' (orisons) and dropped 'touch of truthtelling' and prepared 'shield of faith' (1st) for the day.
Profile updated. Thanks for your input and patience. :)
Going by the rp I missed, while sleeping, are we going to wait for Cadell and Gernon to return to the trading post (by mid morning) and report what they saw during their scouting before we leave for the bandit camp? Or are we (the remainder) meant to ride out and at some point, along the track/wilderness, meet up with them? Just trying to gauge what the plan is.
We're waiting for Sheoll and then for Cadell and Gernon to return, yes. While the two are out and about, you all may RP at the post for a short bit.
Okay, thanks GM Aneirin.
No problem, Ro.
Now then, I should also ask, anyone else notice the extra link at the top, right under Oleg's Trade Post?
