So! Tactics clarification?
It seems like Dmitri is the most effective choice for the diversion, so he's walking directly towards the Battle Market, while the rest of you circle to the bottom of the map (towards I think B12)? Have I gotten it right?
No, he will be with us. The group will walk hidden in the buildings, as we circle the bottom of the map. He will be going with us, but out in the open drawing attention to himself.
So you're just taking the long way around to the Battle Market, with everyone but Dmitri using the buildings to hide from prying eyes and Dmitri just using the roads?
What will be your policy when it comes to buildings? Searching or not?
Just a quick once over I imagine. We haven't found much in many of the buildings. If they stand out for some reason, we would probably be longer with them. That said, I think in our rotation, B10 would likely be the first stop.
Okay, so B12 is a massive cathedral surrounded by dead bodies and scarred by fire. Does that count as standing out for some reason?
Hell yeah!
I believe that counts as "Standing out"
Excellent. I'll have another traveling post or two up later today.
Happy thanksgiving you hooligans.
Likewise!
And you!
Not having Thanksgiving till Saturday. It's not a holiday here but my mom always has a Turkey party. I'm a Veggie so sucks for me...
Waste of a natural 20 lol.
I honestly think Detect Good is less handy than Detect Evil, given the circumstances.
Detect Evil lets you know if there are any ruthlessly evil characters present while Detect good lets you know if people are "Trustworthy"
Detect good: "Is anyone here reliable?"
Detect evil: "Is anyone here unreliable?"
If someone doesn't read as evil, then they can be somewhat trusted, especially if they're a cleric of a good deity. If someone doesn't read as good, they can't be trusted. For my purposes and Dmitri's character, Detect Evil is fun. I shall abuse it thoroughly.
Plus, Paladin's use Detect good for every single situation where they see a new person, but only so they can smite them if they turn up dark. Antipaladin's have no reason to obliterate good if they can find a use for them, so they don't have to do it as often. It's just more of a loose end tier.
I like it :D
I have a feeling that you intended to use the other one in every single instance right there.
That is to say, you said evil every time you meant to say good, and vice versa XD
I am not a smart man.
I'm rather certain I'd be able to inform Angmar that this thing is vulnerable to positive energy, yes? With a quick phrase, that is?
Indeed you would.
Are we waiting on anything specific?
Dmitri! :)
Then I can fight. :)
I mean, Apollo, you can post if you'd like to XD Y'all can go in blocks. I'll DMPC one PC at a time, but not two. That's why I haven't posted.
Good man. Sorry for the delay, I've been accomodating to the winter break and my sleep schedule is completely ruined. I'll post immediately.
Dang, my go was skipped, unless you want to throw it in, otherwise I'm two rounds behind instead of the intended one.
Posting now anyway. :)
Didn't know you would do block combat.
Edited my health and am ready to post whenever.
Is everyone else still interested? I know it's been Christmas and all but this has been fairly dead for a little while now.
I'm still around on the boards, with my other games :D
I'm around, but we have been a bit too slow for my tastes...
Frankly, me too. Several of my games run at a faster pace and with less flaky players, too, so I have most of my attention when I get on focused on those games.
I'm still here. I posted a while ago.
Yea, I think we're on the next round. I can post everyday. I just wait for you guys to post first now because of being told my posting rate was unfair on everyone else, earlier in the campaign.
Greetings to all I am Brek. Hot stuff wanna be.
I hope to be of service to you though it's best if you keep the nasties off me.
Hello, new.. allies. I'm Je'grick, here to fight nasties, sometimes eat them, and fix up those that get hurt.
Except the dead. I can't fix that. Yet.
Je'Grik you need one of the things that tells us your current rolls for reflxes, health, and all that in your title. Like me, Brek, and Kori.
Good to have you both! I'm pretty sure I can do a good job of playing martyr. Hell I do it even when I don't have to.
Welcome guys. :)
Welcome. Got a question for Je'grik. What direction are you planning on taking the character? I'm just wondering because I see you are a Brb/Ora (which is what I am).
Granted I'm going Rage Prophet, and as I understand it's not normally a popular prestige class. Just wanted to make sure we weren't going down the same road?
One goes the beatstick rage prophet,
The other the spellcaster?
Hey guys! Welcome aboard.
Sorry guys, I had a really good post and my pc died in the middle of it. I'm gonna type one up again after work. :-)
Umm so now that you guys met the big strong man, with the really large axe, sitting in a huge throne. Do we get specator seats as you blow them up? :P
Would you newcomers prefer that your characters are there or that your characters are just entering Kelmerane from the outside now?
What ever makes more sense. :)
@Dmitri: just tell me how.
@Korit: I'm not planning on going Rage Prophet. Just a bit of barbarian dabbling.
I agree with Je'grik.
Whichever makes more sense to enter us in.
My fluff makes me an ex slave looking for his former 'owner' Haleen. Thus I could be inserted anywhere.
I had beautiful posts up yesterday, and it seems the website reset yesterday ate them. Shame.
I would be all for meeting Brek and Je'grik but I'd prefer it if they didn't just walk up to us. Maybe taking part in one of the battles on land level? I'm not sure how you'd do it really.
I'm going to do my big post again, now that I have the information on the Jann.
I still find it funny that the Masochist is the one that's doing the majority of the foresight and tactics, lol.
Well Apollo tries, but it seems people would rather listen to the Drow over anyone else. :p
Still, the baiting idea would have been good....if there were any gnoll's to be found outside!
I don't find it particularly interesting that you're the one doing the foresight...Dmitri's the highest-Int party member at the current moment.
So, am I getting that Brek and Je'Grik want to be inside the Battle Market already?
If so, I'll have some information up for you in here and then you can post in the gameplay thread.
I agree, but it's not down to intelligence really. Anyone can come out with tactics, just some better than others and Apollo's had his fair share of good ideas and bad ideas already, but I find basing that kind of thing on a single statistic can hamper roleplay, so I throw his thoughts out there anyway.
If anything, it should be the person with the most charisma who leads, if statistics are anything to go by, but even then not everyone will follow a man/woman just because they're charismatic.
I guess you don't feel Apollo adds much tot he story if you find him uninteresting. Ah well, I'll continue with whatever he wants to do anyway.
Before Brek, I also have the most charisma, haha.
No one's said your character is uninteresting. If anything his only downside, well... Let's put it this way. I'm playing a masochist, and you've nearly died significantly more than I have.
Dmitri isn't so much leading. It's an appalling idea for the lot of you to follow someone who's lawful evil. I'm teetering on NE, considering how prone to random bouts of physical injury Dmitri is.
He's just analytical of situations because he wants to maximize the enemy's discomfort, and prologue his own suffering.
I mean in regards to Apollo leading. Tbh, with his attitude would it not be more interesting if he were to lead? It would be a quick massacre if Gnoll's are concerned (of the party possibly)....because he really doesn't like holding back and yea I know, you've got Charisma and Intelligence down to a tee.
I'll have something for us soon btw, in form of a map. :)
Got a brand new PC, Photoshop CS6 and a nice 42" Sony Bravia HD to play it on. It makes Guild Wars 2 pretty awesome.
Anyway, working on it now. :)
I'm fine with inserting inside the battle map. I'd rather it not be rushed just to make way for us to come in but where it would make more sense for us to be there.
Just strolling up doesn't make sense.
And I feel stats shouldn't be a main factor in whether who gets to lead, sometimes it's the hero who is supported by the more intelligent, the better speaker and looker.
Excellent Post though Dmitri.
I'm not so sure really. I mean you could just be "support" sent by a certain character Apollo wants to be with.
I mean what other reason would you have for already being inside a slaver hall/battle arena?
Fire away though. :)
