Or find some rich criminals. Though the trouble with rich criminals is that they generally got rich stealing from other people, so we should really try to give back as much as we can. Sometimes it's hard being good :-(.
Yea, when I first read going after some bandits preying on merchants, I was thinking "All right, time to increase our wealth". But thinking on it, realized the same thing.
What we need is a backer to fund this little revolution. Sure, Hyngrot wouldn't trust 'em, but wouldn't hurt. Well, unless it was a trap or somesuch, then it would.
As far as Daxius is concerned, it's always a trap.
I'm getting confused as to what might happen when an alchemist's bomb meets trees and bushes. Fire, I am thinking... probably smoke too.
Anyone got any ideas what the rules might be?
I'm not entirely sure if the rules specifically mention it...I'd assume if something is indicated as flammable,then yeah. I don't want to rule-lawyer for my own actions, but I've seen the bomb being a quick burst of flame, as opposed to actual alchemist's fire.
Hmm.
I think that RAW that it should be okay, the bomb is instantaneous so there is not risk of catching fire, in which case... you should not have been able to light any flammable material (such as oil on a bridge) with your bombs.
I think, for internal consistency, that I'm going to go with alchemists' bombs affecting flammable objects: I guess it just makes alchemists more tactical and makes ice/force/acid bomb discoveries more attractive.
You could get pedantic about the difference between flammable and combustible materials (it has to do with the closed-cup flash point), or just say that a bomb will ignite things that burn easily--lantern oil, distilled spirits, maybe dry wood, leaves, flour/dust dispersed in air--but it doesn't deliver enough sustained heat to ignite wood thicker than, say, a twig.
I've based it on hardness vs. intensity of heat.
Roughly splash damage/2 = hardness of stuff that burns (if flammable material).
SO, yeah, winging it.

Hey, surprises are fun!
I'd noticed that already, but I'm a compulsive mouseoverer.

"Ah...of course, Mr. W-er, Alehammer. Nod's as good as a wink, eh?"
Say no more.
I'll keep that in mind on inish rolls, Daxius. Thanks for that!
I'm the bonus fairy!
I'm going to be out on the road through Sunday, so posting will be intermittent. Phones kind of suck for that sort of thing :-(. DMPC me as needed, GM E; if the snake is still up at her next action, Pontia will try to set up a flank with Hyngrot.
Sorry, forgot about the damage roll...was in a hurry ;^^
Just a reminder that I'll be at Gencon through Sunday night (taking into account drive home). Feel free to use Hyngrot as needed through that time.
Have fun!
Have fun!
Thanks Pontia! And I'm back home now so posting should be back up to a more normal pace for me.
Soooo, does that mean I get to find out if Gwyn's face is going to be gnawed off now?
BTW: Glad your back safe and sound.
A heads-up in advance: I'll be largely afk from 8/30 through 9/3; I'll be at WorldCon in Chicago. Anyone else going to be there?
Thanks for the heads up, GM! We will wait with swords drawn and killing intent!
For the bandits, that is!
Back among the allegedly living after Worldcon; I don't mind waiting for you, GM E, as I have some work to catch up on after a few days away.
Congrats on your new place, GM. Take your time to get back on your feet.
Just checked, and Nicolai hasn't posted in thread since 8/29/2012. He does have posts from last Monday though. Could be the dot disappeared on him. I sent him a PM.
And Nicolai, when you read this, I'm a ranger. So yes, I am forum stalking you!
I think the interval is down to a week or so for post or lose dot/lose new post notice in Campaigns tab.
I hadn't lost the dot, but I did lose the update notice.
Sorry, Nicolai, mage armour gives an armour bonus and shield gives a shield bonus.
I have had a crazy work week and a big family weekend, sorry to drop off during a big fight.
No problem. Just chilling.
Lot of that going around. I hope your problems resolve as cleanly as mine did.
As long as the boards keep working, that is.
Did they change the fonts / formats?
AIUI, they did a fairly major coding change in Tuesday's update. The most visible effect is the change in character headers. Unfortunately, the update doesn't play well with a lot of browsers, or so it seems; there's a thread discussing the updates, but I can't get to it to read it, much less post to it. Other people, clearly, have been able to post to it. The new messages thing isn't clearing from the Campaigns page, and most of my campaigns stay in the sidebar for a few minutes before disappearing after a new post. Since I haven't been able to read the update discussion thread I don't know how they're doing on fixing the issues.
Just a heads up that my PC decided to stop operating as normal today. I hope to get it up and running over the weekend (not 100% sure what's wrong, but I have a friend who knows abit). It should only minimally impact the games I play in, as I can post from my iPad (just takes longer to draft a post). Just wanted to give a heads up on it.
Computer fixed, playing catch up. Also tired out from trick or treating.
I'll be at a con this weekend and the hotel charges for internet access. I'll try to keep up using my phone, but posting may be sporadic.
Back now. That bandit is taking a while to react, isn't he?
I'm out of town for a week. Posting will be spotty. Feel free to DMPC Daxius.
I'm going to be out of town for my college graduation.
