I count my xp at 170...

Do I get more for doctoring? :)

I'll spend 100 to get my medicine to 7.

Well, I didn't expect to make everyone speechless...

Rolling under my skill is a success...


Shot Putter Funkmeister

You are right but you have not asked him a question.

ahh, that first post was just the psychological get them worried. Hopefully get them talking without even asking any questions.

As a parent I once asked my son, "so, tell what happened." No direct question, no specific incident.

He started spilling on several issues that I was going to need to address.

I've also used this with employees.

"You know why you're here. Tell me your side of it."

I find out all sorts of useful stuff by not asking about anything in particular.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

I understand that but these guys are criminals, looking at a rope in a day or two. Criminals are usually fairly savvy. There are some who are not but those guys do not stay outside of prison very long.


Male Scot | STR 16 COO 18 OBS 17 STA 6 LUC 10 | Linguistics 8 (Spanish, French, Chinese, Latin), Literacy 16, Medicine 6 Orienteering 6 Surveying/Mapmaking 18 Veterinarian 13 Rifle 2

how many bandits captured, and which one made that comment?


Shot Putter Funkmeister

There are two bandits still alive, one gave up without taking much damage and the other... how shall we say is in triage.


Male Scot | STR 16 COO 18 OBS 17 STA 6 LUC 10 | Linguistics 8 (Spanish, French, Chinese, Latin), Literacy 16, Medicine 6 Orienteering 6 Surveying/Mapmaking 18 Veterinarian 13 Rifle 2

I saw that "bandits" (plural) were taken to the jail. Is the one in triage sitting in a chair having his shirt removed?


Shot Putter Funkmeister

The one in triage is unconscious. As a doctor you know he would have to heal quite a bit before you can question him.


Male Scot | STR 16 COO 18 OBS 17 STA 6 LUC 10 | Linguistics 8 (Spanish, French, Chinese, Latin), Literacy 16, Medicine 6 Orienteering 6 Surveying/Mapmaking 18 Veterinarian 13 Rifle 2

SO captured "bandit's" meant one conscious and one almost dead. And all my speech for an audience of mulitple bandits is really just one that is unconscious and not in a position to hear or respond and one tied to a chair?


Game died

It was still a good speech :)


Male Scot | STR 16 COO 18 OBS 17 STA 6 LUC 10 | Linguistics 8 (Spanish, French, Chinese, Latin), Literacy 16, Medicine 6 Orienteering 6 Surveying/Mapmaking 18 Veterinarian 13 Rifle 2

reminds me of a speech I gave as a doppelganger rogue. None of my companions knew I was a doppel. One was a paladin. I had them all thinking I was going to just horribly torture someone for information. I just stuffed her into a bag of holding (with a bottle of air and sustaining spoon) and snuck her out of the dungeon to rescue her. Told everyone she gave me the info we needed and that I dissolved her remains.

I had previously written a note to the GM of what I was actually doing. For the next couple of sessions the other players were really having their characters reconsider their association with me, which worked perfectly against the NPC's that were pissed their prisoner had disappeared. They pretty much testified to my actions for me, so I didn't have to lie in the truth field, they told the truth as they knew it.

Days later, after we'd left town did I pull the prisoner from my bag, healthy and whole.

Riotous! OMG, the looks on their faces when they realized the whole plot and their unwitting part in it!


Shot Putter Funkmeister

So, what we can do is, I can have Brill continue with sheriff and the rest of you chill or we can do some more RP in the hotel?


Male Scot | STR 16 COO 18 OBS 17 STA 6 LUC 10 | Linguistics 8 (Spanish, French, Chinese, Latin), Literacy 16, Medicine 6 Orienteering 6 Surveying/Mapmaking 18 Veterinarian 13 Rifle 2

sounds good to me


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Which one?


Male Scot | STR 16 COO 18 OBS 17 STA 6 LUC 10 | Linguistics 8 (Spanish, French, Chinese, Latin), Literacy 16, Medicine 6 Orienteering 6 Surveying/Mapmaking 18 Veterinarian 13 Rifle 2

I'll do some RP in the hotel, since realistically I'd need to stay with the wounded anyway.

With the imminent approach of Christmas, I am going to be out-of-touch from the 20th-27th. My brother-in-law is treating my wife and me to a trip to Disney World so that she can see the Christmas decor before her vision is completely lost. To that end, I will be unable to post during that time. If I am in your game, please bot me as necessary. If you are in my game, I will try to find the time before Wednesday to make a brief post, but the game will be suspended until Dec. 28th. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a very Happy New Year to all!

I'm back and will be spending today and tomorrow catching up. If you ever get the opportunity to do the Ultimate Disney Christmas Package, take it! For roughly $800/person, we stayed at a moderate resort (Coronado Springs), attended Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, got extra hours in the parks, attended an exclusive Christmas dance party, had an exclusive holiday buffet with live entertainment (and the food was fabulous), and received a special gift in our room on Christmas day that contained a picture frame, serving tray, chocolates, cookies, and much more! All-in-all, a wonderful vacation at an excellent price! BONUS: Because our resort was undergoing construction, we also received three exclusive Disney trading pins featuring Donald and his amigos with construction tools!

I was able to do most everything I wanted to do, with the single exception of Avatar Flight of Passage (my shins were too big), but my wife and brother-in-law did experience it and they thought it was a lot of fun! If you don't know, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is an exclusive event with limited attendance where you spend the entire evening in the Magic Kingdom, riding rides, seeing shows, and getting free treats!

Anyway, back to your regularly scheduled adventure...

Con season is upon us, and in just two months, I will be running the game room for CoastCon (Biloxi, MS - March 16-18 if anyone is interested). This does mean that for the next two months, my life is very hectic and gaming must take a back seat. I'm not dropping, just giving warning that my posting may be slightly curtailed (more than usual). If I'm holding things up, just go ahead and bot me if necessary, though I will try to check in at least every other day (except weekends, most of which I will be busy).

If you're in one of my games, I'm apologizing now for any unnecessary delays. Just hang in there and we will plug through.

Roll call?


Shot Putter Funkmeister

No one responded to my last post and it has been over a month.


Game died

I'm still here lurking. I couldn't find anything in the rules on how wounds would affect other skills like gambling.


Shot Putter Funkmeister

I feel bad. So what do you guys want to do?


Shot Putter Funkmeister

Ok, I have two opennings in my Zeitgeist game if anyone is interested. That game goes at a very brisk pace, anyone interested?


Male Scot | STR 16 COO 18 OBS 17 STA 6 LUC 10 | Linguistics 8 (Spanish, French, Chinese, Latin), Literacy 16, Medicine 6 Orienteering 6 Surveying/Mapmaking 18 Veterinarian 13 Rifle 2

I am.

Seems most of my games are going through slow deaths here.

Apologizing for my lack of posting. The con is this weekend and for the last four days I have been slammed with convention work. Things should be back to semi-normal on Monday.
