Leveled, Jin now has trapfinding and Invis Sphere.
Awesome, we just woke up a little bit ago. Took the folks out to breakfast, then dropped them of at his mom's house.....so, we didn't get to bed till after 11:30 this morning. Now we gotta take them dinner.

Tikkle and I can always retcon a little scene later. I'm not sure when he'll be on again and I don't wanna hold things up. I'm sorry I pick the wrong times to sleep.

Stop it, you sleep when you can. I've only been awake for 2 1/2 hrs myself and started work 1/2 an hour ago.
Leveled, Jin now has trapfinding and Invis Sphere.
And you're better at it than I am.
I know.......

great I just realized something, Terra now has a burrow speed, and we are about to go on a ship.
just great.
We're not gonna be on a ship forever.
I know that, I just thought it was kinda funny that's all.
+10 to spot traps, +22 to disarm them.
Yeah I'm just gonna stick to stabbing people, you can disarm the traps.
Just got back home and put groceries away. I am sooooo tired.....I don't wanna go back to hell tonight, but I gotta make the money. *Sad face*

Maybe you'll be on a not so bad floor tonight?
Here's hoping.....I'll find out when I call in about another 20 minutes or so.
Yeah....right....like I'm ever that lucky. Nope, they are sending me back to the same crappy ass floor that they sent me to last night. F6 again, just depends on if it's the same nurses or whatever. I really need to get the hell outta the float pool.....I would like to get the hell away from the hospital, but apparently they own my ass.
Hey guys, camp just ended and my days and energy just went to hell for a bit, Gashka and I will hang out on pm and have our moment later if that's ok ;)
Suffice to say that we are in the captain's cabin when you guys get to the ship.

Giggity.
Hey Tikkle....I hope you don't mind....I kinda took some liberties with the starting of that scene. If you'd like, feel free to add to it. I just don't feel very qualified to write mushy stuff. Lol
That was perfect :3 couldn't have said it better.
Sorry I've been absent, one more week of medium craziness I guess.

I finally did get Tikkle leveled though. I'll be able to pass off crits now so Gashka and Asho, we should look to be near one another in combat :3
With my folks here everything has been kinda crazy here too. I barely slept for 4 hours and I'm awake again? I should really get more sleep, especially since we're gonna have such a long day tomorrow.....but, I just don't know how to go back to sleep.......

@Tikkle, ok I'm glad you liked the first part......I'm sorry, but I really don't think of myself as someone who is good at writing romantic stuff. I want it to be classic and a little sexy......but not nasty....know what I mean? I don't think there's anything wrong with two characters in a game, book, or whatever....getting it on.....as long as it's done tastefully. I'm just not sure how well I portrayed us leading up to that moment......like is it obvious what we're about to do?

... I just don't know how to go back to sleep.......
A wise woman once told me...
Just take some deep breaths and relax. Imagine yourself on a beach somewhere with the sound of the waves breaking against the shore.....that usually does it for me.
Thanks.....but I got all this stuff in my mind and about a billion things to do before driving the almost 3 hours that it takes to get out to my parents place........laundry to finish, dishes to do, dinner to make, take a shower, stuff to pack......for us and the spoiled princess dog....that's why the not sleeping.....and no amount of visualization will help with that cuz it won't get my chores done for me. But thanks......all the same. I just hope that I'm not working somewhere tonight where they try to kill me.....I don't want to be exaughsted while trying to drive.....and besides......she sounds more like a dreamer than a wise woman.....Lol......at this point.....I'm wondering who will walk in on Tikkle and Gashka first? I think I can handle it being just about anyone as long as it isn't her papa.....cuz that would just be tooooo much. Good thing they're in Swampwood. Whew.....

Ouch I am in pain right now.
I burnt the roof of my mouth on melted chocolate.
made a smores dip in honor of national smores day today.
Awe man.....I'm totally missing out on smores action.....life can be so cruel sometimes.....

I shoulda thought about my response a little longer and maybe not have screamed....with everything we've been through....that's a sure way to attract some unwanted attention. I was going with what my gut told me to do...I thought the moment would be just too funny to pass up on.
And it is. I think you did the right thing.
Thanks.....I always get a little nervous cuz I never know if it's gonna come across the way it does in my head.
I'm still laughing.......not good while trying to eat cereal by the way.....
I get that feeling sometimes too.
That was awesome. Very well done.
Can we split some of the loot? I'd like to grab a few spells for my book before we head out.
Here's the breakdown for splitting up loot right now.
Tikkle
Boots of Speed(12000)
Asho
+1 Flaming Burst Warhammer(18312)
Everyone else
3416 gold.
was there some amulet for Terra, I remember reading that but forgot about it and never responded.
Christophe
Ring of Protection
Anyka
+1 Dagger
Terra
Amulet of Natural Armor +1 is the only amulet we've gotten.
yeah I think that's it, I best get my sheet updated then
You crashed my browser, but it's a fancy outfit 10/10 would crash again.
I think he excluded them because their items we high value where as the generic +1 are common.
OHhhhhh....that is just tooo cute! Thanks for doing the math Flynt....I really didn't wanna have to figure all that out.
Math=Evilness......So....was that 3416 per person,or what we have left to divide among us?
Do we want to consider investing in a group owned bag of holding?
I once had a Half Ogre Paladin that would take 10 copper coins over a single gold coin in treasure, cause he believed that the higher the number the better.
also he only ever would get 10 coins of treasure (that was how far he could count.)
If I ever find the story I wrote for him I post it.
That's awesome.....I'm dyslexic....not even sure if I spelled it right. Distracted by listening to Korn right now.
Sorry Jinn.....I totally saw what you wrote....honest....a bag of holding may not be such a bad idea. I don't wanna be carrying all this crap around and get all encumbered and shit.
3416 per person. To even it out, Tikkle and Asho shouldn't get anything for a while. Eventually a bag of holding would be a good thing, but we don't have quite enough stuff to put in it yet.
Until we need it and don't have it. 50 Coins is one pound it adds up fast.
found it:
Balrock is heard before seen as he makes his usual entrance into almost any establishment meant for human sized individuals. First a loud bang at the front door quickly followed by two or three more. A quick glance shows a rather ugly humanoid easily 8' tall attempting to fit his huge frame through a small door. It seems a simple task for most but one can quickly see why he is having more trouble that usual. He is carrying what appears to be a huge oak door strapped to his arm obviously being used as a shield. Propped against the wall near the entrance to the tavern is a large Warhammer (twice the size a normal person would wield).
The "creature" eventually figures that the shield too must remain outside so he props that next to the warhammer and ducks down to enter the tavern. Though crearly part Ogre one can see a definite trace of human in his features. a large forhead juts over his eyes covered only by long straggly black hair that probably hasn't been washed in days (perhaps longer) and he is wearing what appears to be an old bandage as a blindfold; despite the fact his eyes are covered he walks easily as though it wern't there. though not entirely hideous in appearance he is no charasmatic hero either. He is clad in remnants of animal fur tied together with leather straps, some of the furs still matted with blood from the animal that once owned them or perhaps from somewhere else.
Around his neck hangs a neclace, a leather strap tied to what appears to be a wood carved hammer.
The giant takes a seat on a small chair chrushing it under his weight, but it still holds.
"You ask for Balrock life? Well OK.." his voice is low and booming as though he has no concept of a quiet conversation.
"Balrock name really Balrock Gourd but sometimes Balrock forget last part. Balrock big and strong. Grow up with Ogres but mom different. Her have less hair and pale skin. Her teach Balrock human speak. Mom nice. Dad strong. Dad mean. Him beat Balrock up. Him teach Balrock get shinies. Mom teach Balrock do good.
"Balrock really good at know some things. Balrock know when not open door and when bad things 'bout to happen. Good at not eat bad things and not listen bad people. Even Mom always say Balrock wize. Not sure what that mean but sure it good. Mom nice."
"Dad beat up Mom and Balrock beat Dad. Balrock punished for beat dad. So Balrock sent to war pit to fight."
"Balrock not allowed weapon so Balrock must fight with hands. Balrock not think fair but must do law." He paused to gather what thoughts he can, remembering his past. Balrock continues, "Balrock loose much fights, soon learn must use weapon. Balrock find rock in war pit so Balrock use it. Balrock throw rock at human in pit and hit him. Human hurt bad him soon die."
The giant stops again to wipe a tear from his eye then continues on, "Balrock feel bad. Human not want to hurt Balrock but mean Ogres make him try. Balrock help human. Other ogres yell at Balrock so Balrock yell back and run from tribe take human with Balrock. Him teach Balrock that shinies get stuff from humans."
"Balrock help human get better and take home. Others scream at balrock when see, many run. Balrock cry, only want be freind to human and get stuff. So Balrock leave human place."
Balrock smiles, obviously a happy moment is about to be related, "Balrock walk places but sometimes get lost. Big world, hard to know where is. Balrock like shinies. Balrock want find shinies and get good stuff. One day, Balrock meet big man on horse. Him have lot of shinies and shiny metal clothes and ring. Balrock want be like him. Human like Balrock then. Man say Balrock must be true and have big heart and be night and get called Sur Balrock. Me tell him Balrock big so already have big heart and Balrock tell truth almost all time. Man say then okay, Balrock ready for night and laugh (maybe him make joke; sometimes Balrock not know when people make joke).
"Man say he name Toomass and he teach Balrock tear, Balrock say who tear Balrock not cry?
Toomass laugh (Balrock still not know joke). Toomass say T-Y-R God of jussts but Balrock not understand. Toomass say Balrock help human once so he help Balrock. Tomass teach Balrock about Tyr and show Balrock use warhammer and shield. Balrock learn more be good, help people maybee Balrock help more human then human not fraid of Balrock."
Balrock takes a huge gulp of his ale, probably enough to choke most humans but he gulps it down with ease, leaving several large drops down his front. He continues with his story obiously oblivious to the impending bordom of all who are listening, "One day Toomass leave and go all day, Tomass come back with big warhammer, him say gift to Balrock. Balrock hug him, Tomass nice."
"Next day Balrock get up, see Tomass gone, him take all fight stuff, find note in human write, Balrock not read so find human to read for Balrock. It say Tomass go fight war, Balrock not to follow. Balrock want to fight war, Balrock good fighter. Next day Balrock go find Tomass."
"During walk Balrock meet orcs, they want fight Balrock, Balrock say no, orc not do bad, orcs take Balrock and make fight in war pit. Balrock kill many orc but one strong as Balrock. him hurt Balrock bad. Balrock hit in face with club, loose eyes."
"That night, Balrock pray to Tyr, ask show Balrock what do then fall sleep. Balrock have dream, It show Balrock with human and other almost humans stop bad human, him evil and break law. Tyr point to town say go. In morning Balrock see again, but bandage still on, and Balrock no see any colors. Balrock find all hurts go away. Balrock escape from orcs and travel to city in dream. Toomass must be there. Find Tomass and fight war. Tomass must be fighting evil human in dream."
The ogre pauses and thinks a few minutes, then asks his question, "Have you seen Tomass?"
It could probably wait till after Polaris or something.....IRL I get totally motion sick. Whale watching trips for school were never fun for me.....Neither was the cruise for the first 2 or 3 days that we went on for our honeymoon about 2 years after we got married.
I got so damn sick on that ship it wasn't funny.
