Kereek will take Agnar's Will and Fort saves any chance he gets.

Not expecting to get much time to update this weekend, so don't be surprised if there are no posts.

+1 Lance: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (2) + 17 = 19 for: 2d6 + 8 ⇒ (2, 4) + 8 = 14
Spike Powerful Charge (p. attack): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 for: 4d6 + 30 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 1) + 30 = 40

I really love Spike! I just have such fun with this tiny little martial character who can hardly break the wing off a fly riding around on a friggin' triceratops. I love it! It's seriously a lot of fun.

As much as you love your Spike, I really love my Swashbuckler :D

The only thing that makes me nervous is the *abysmal* Will Save ;) Maybe I could splash an Oracle and a Sorc level in for the Will saves :p

Hmm...how about a Swashbuckler/Paladin as a tank?

I'm leaving Monday for a trip to see my wife at med school in the Caribbean. I'll be posting tomorrow, but then I don't expect to have access until late Thursday/Friday.

Dude, that's awesome that you're able to get a visit in! I hope it's an awesome trip!

Hope your visit to the Caribbean was an encouraging one, mott! Do you guys know how long she'll be down there for school? I can't imagine it's easy for you both =(

1) I was gunna use my ring of seven lovely colors, but as I don't *actually* have Weapon Finesse... I'd suck as a bird ;)

2) I am taking the weekend at the Nurburgring. If you don't know what that is, here's a "Oh, Jesus take the wheel!" video for you...

Hope your visit to the Caribbean was an encouraging one, mott! Do you guys know how long she'll be down there for school? I can't imagine it's easy for you both =(

It was a very nice trip, thanks for asking. It's not easy, but assuming all goes well, she'll be down there for most of the next couple years. Basically, it's two months down, 22 more to go.

Gadzooks! Dude! Dang, man. Well, I certainly hope you guys get more chances to travel and spend time together during that span.

Busy around here with the Fourth of July coming up; I make no promises about posting between now and Sunday, though I will do my best.

Some good news and some bad news.

Good: I am getting ready to Retire from the US Army after 20 years! This means I am definitely moving - don't know where yet, maybe Maryland, maybe Qatar (wuh!?). My access will be shaky for a while (we are piggybacking a neighbor's WLAN right now) but I look forward to getting back to the US where internet speeds are way above my current pain of 2.7mb/s...

Bad: I am going to have intermittent internet for the next two months. Please do not hesitate to 'Bot me if you need to!

Sorry, Katerina. Just realized we never replied to this, which sucks. Congratulations on retiring! Maryland seems better than Qatar if you ask me, but opinions may vary.

"Oh. Okay. Kereek am sure he will be dragon someday." Kereek seems somewhat deflated, but with his last sentence, seems to steel himself with hope.

Of course, Form of the Dragon is a sixth-level spell, which you're not actually that far away from. I wouldn't be surprised if Kereek just stops gaining other spells after he gets that (well, other than Form II and III, of course).

I didn't drop out. I had just been let go from my job and have been more focused on finding another, is all. Only occurred to me just today I should mention that, since I forgot you guys post much more frequently than any other game I've participated in.

Dude! That bites about your job =(

I've been looking as well (though it's because I hope to move by the end of the year) and that's been stressful as heck; even still having the gig I have now. I hope you're able to bounce back quick!

OK, glad to hear that you haven't dropped. Sorry to hear about your job; obviously real life takes precedence, but just keep us updated as you can. I'll DMPC you as needed.

Where are you looking to move, Prazil?

I think it'd put me a little further west than you, mott. You're near Reading if I recall? I'm looking at the Harrisburg/Camp Hill area, though I'd settle for Hershey or York or thereabouts. Camp Hill would be ideal though.

I miss PA, yo. I miss it bad.

I'm in Bethlehem, which is like an hour east of Reading. We should really get together sometime and play live.

How far is that from Frederick MD? I am looking at getting a job there.

Kat! You're looking at Frederick? GET OUTTA TOWN!
I have a really close friend who just moved OUT of Frederick last year. =P

From Camp Hill it's an easy shot down to Frederick. I think it's either Rt 15 or Rt 11 (they both kind of smash together at one point and I confuse the two) that runs straight south to Frederick. If I remember right, it's about an hour's drive or so?

And Mott, if this move works out I think you'd be like 90 minutes away; just off 78? (78 does run right by Bethlehem, right?)

My PA cartography skills have faded a bit in the past 8 years =P

Yeah, I'm very close to 78. Looks like Camp Hill is about 90 minutes, give or take a bit.

We will see :)
but, yeah US 15 drops into Frederick.

FYI, may not get a chance to update until Sunday. (That said, I think I'm waiting on you guys.)

Not too long ago we were playing a PnP adventure and the flood trap was set off. Our GM shouts, "Drink from the Nile, B$@**es!!! Oh, yes, good times ;)

The only other time I've encountered a flood trap was a one-shot adventure that a friend of mine ran back in college in the hey-day of 3.5. I was playing a dwarven hunter (some 3rd party class that seemed fun) with a charming animal companion: I'd chosen I rhinoceros.

Tragic Fact: Rhinoceroses in full-plate barding are terrible swimmers.

I still remember the name of that dwarf, the name of my poor rhinoceros, and the gleam in my DM's eye and the way he rubbed his hands together when we triggered the trap.

=\

lol and this is why we game ;) memories!

Since Kereek is away at GenCon, is it quicker and better to just say our fiery koboldian sorcerer is 3'0" and his knightly counterpart is 3'2"?

The ARG has most kobolds in the 2'8"-3'2" range.

Dearest, sweetest, most loveable, beneficent, and laudable Mott, if a scroll of permanancy were to find its way into the loot you wish to soon award us, Prazil would love it ever so much!

Now that Prazil is the tallest kobold in all of Ever, I think he quite likes it! =)

I had a feeling he would. Infusions FTW.

Just FYI, I'm enjoying the banter, guys. :)

Glad to hear it. One of the rare times where I can actually have the multiple past lives interact with one another, too. Didn't want to force something like this just for the surprise value.

So I'm down at the beach at a week long family vacation and I expected it to be like last year's reunion with regard to chances to steal some quiet moments to type and write.

If yesterday and this morning are any indication, introducing a half-dozen crazed children to the formula may have dramatically changed things. =P

Apologies in advance if my posting is inconsistent, scattered or jumbled for the next week!

The ol' ball and chain's coming home tomorrow for a week, so I'm not sure how much posting I'll be doing until the 30th or 31st. May still have some time, but if I don't, I haven't disappeared for good.

enjoy your time!

Just a note:
I am getting ready to leave the Army after 20 years; I will be moving around a lot and may have limited access to the internet. My new job will require a lot of travel too, but not to super remote areas. I will let you know if I need to drop off for a while. I plan on keeping up with this game!

4 more rounds of 1d2 Con loss ahead, 3 current Con damage, and a total Con of 10 means Prazil is in imminent danger, guys! Yikes!

Yoinks, Prazil! I'm thinking a strategic withdrawal might be necessary.

Prazil would only do so if he were the last to withdraw! Never give up! Never surrender!

By Grabthar's hammer, by the suns of Worvan, you shall be avenged.

;)

No worries, Prazil. Restorative ointment and restoration to the rescue.

Looking over your stats, guys, I just realized I forgot to tell you you could level up when you moved up to the second level of the dungeon.

Everyone should be 9th level! Yay!

Of course, even then you haven't had a chance to rest so no extra spells or whatnot.

---

While you're at it, any thoughts what you'd like for a fifth character? We've seemed to go through people a lot in this campaign (though I guess Agnar, Kereek and Prazil have all been here for a good long while now), so I'd like to get someone who will be around for the long term. I'm more than willing to take suggestions if someone wants to recommend a player.

For an additional player, one of my go-tos is already here :p

Kat's level:
+9 HP; +1 BAB; +1 Acrobatics, +1 Climb, +1 Diplomacy, +1 Intimidate, +1 Perception, +1 Swim
Feats:
Swashbuckler Bonus - Extra Panache
Normal - Combat Reflexes

Camris is someone I've bumped into a few times on the boards before - he's a long-time poster and ran the best Star Wars pbp I've had the pleasure of playing in. Dude's a real good writer and I think he'd fit right in with our group of players too.

Level 9!

-Prazil-
HPs: 1d10 ⇒ 5
+1 BAB (+9/+4)
+1 Ref
+1 Will
+3 skill ranks (+1 Handle Animal, +1 Linguistics (Sylvan, learned from Orin), +1 Ride)
+Feat (Spirited Charge)
Greater Tactician: Gain Outflank, activate tactician as swift action

-Spike-
HPs: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
+1 BAB
+1 Fort
+1 Ref
+1 Skill Point (Fly)
+2 Natural Armor
+1 Str
+1 Dex
Ability Increase: +1 Con
Multiattack (second gore attack at -5)

That was a huuuuuge level for Spike. Both Strength and Dex bumped to the next modifier, he got a second gore attack, and his AC is high enough now that Prazil's Mounted Combat feat will be hard pressed to ever deflect a hit that happens to connect in the first place.

And now I have to decide if Prazil's remaining levels should be in Mammoth Rider or if I should stick with Cavalier. =P

Go mammoth! (Though of course that makes it even harder to get Spike involved when you're inside.)

Yeap. Spike not fitting any place we go is definitely worth considering. Then again, he made pretty short work of that fort wall; a Huge, Flying Spike could get us into pretty much anywhere! =)

Also, just a friendly reminder (which you asked for!) that you wanted to pop us with some phat lootz! And on that topic, some kind of awesome, medium-sized figurine of wondrous power that could serve as a surrogate mount for when Spike can't fit places would be a welcome find in such a pile of magical bounty and happiness!

Thanks for the reminder -- I haven't forgotten (though it doesn't help you guys keep bypassing possible loot options)...

Will update shortly. Had an impromptu trip this weekend and just got back home.

HP: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7
Fort +1, Reflex +1
Bloodline Power (breath weapon 9d6 fire), Bloodline spell (fear), +1 Natural armor, Fire resistance increased to 10
+1 3rd level, +1 4th level /day
New 2nd level spell (invisibility), 3rd level spell (dispel magic), 4th level spell (dim door)
Skills: +1 perception, diplomacy, spellcraft
Feat: Spell Penetration

Hit points: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Reflex +1
Channel energy 5d6
+1 2nd level, +1 5th level
Skills: Diplomacy +1, Knowledge (nature) +1, Survival +1
Feat: Clustered Shots

Fang: +1 HD, +1 Base Atk, +1 all saves, +1 Skill Point, +2 natural armor, +1 Str and Dex, 1 bonus trick, devotion ability.

I think Agnar's the only one of you who I'm not in any other games with, so this will largely be redundant for most of you, but I'll be out of town this weekend for my annual cabin/gaming trip. Hitting the road tomorrow afternoon and I won't be back until some time Monday.
