Lol. Man, do *NOT* scorn this guy. I cannot emphasize this enough.

LOL!!!

Tristain takes some time to ponder this offer.

LOL!!! Oh my gosh, I can't stop laughing at this! So freaking funny. I just died.

I can TOTALLY see him standing there in deep thought, looking at the rest of the party and wondering if he can get a majority vote - and feeling pretty good about it - on leaving the archer behind. LOL! :D

Got to admit, this is the only game I've been in on the forums where a character takes as much guff (Is that still a word??!!) as Lothan, but his player's been a great sport about it all. I've actually felt a bit guilty about this and stopped Starflit from piling on. Besides, Tristain's doing a great job on his own.

I'm trying to refocus on the game some. I noticed over a week ago that Starflit had this new ability called 'greater bane,' thought to myself, "Hmm, that sounds important!" but somehow got sidetracked from looking it up. Since I'd never changed/updated the bane ability on the stat lines underneath her avatar or in the crappy Word document I've stored some of her attack and status macros in, it became a case of 'out of sight, out of mind.'

Now that Lothan's apparently survived the period of time where 'Flit's additional bane damage was half what it should've been, I'll start using the full 4d6 extra damage going forward. :)

Oh! By all means, if you want to take a turn at bashing Lothan, please, don’t let me get in your way. I’ll bonk aside for a bit, and makes space for you. There are some untorched spots near his left leg and right ballsack, if you’re looking for fresh areas…

…but also, if you want to bash Tristain some more, come have at ye! Or we can interact more about whatever, too.

Glad that you got your bane all worked out. Can’t wait to see that extra 4d6 verbal bane damage on Lothan. Should be a delight.

LOL! "Verbal bane damage". Good one!

@Starflit: Hey, I'm gonna be honest, it's difficult to play a guy like this and other players roll with it as well as y'all have. I love it! Between Tristain's bashing and y'all's reactions to some of Lothan's stunts, oh man, I'm just rolling over here ALL the time. So much fun. Man, y'all keep me laughing. :D

I could totally see Starflit sneaking in some "subtle" jabs in on Lothan simply due to the type of person she is. Hopefully not 4d6 damage-worthy jabs, ;) but definitely some subtle ones. So don't feel guilty! Seriously.

I love this game. It's a blast. :)

Thanks for saving him too. (I know that hurts to hear, Tristain, I know). ;D Otherwise, his "girlfriend" was about to finish him off with that gleam in her eye. That's NOT the gleam Lothan was looking for either. :P

Kyffin, thank you for handling all the loot and the treasure sheet. I appreciate it.

Three bonks to you!

As far as treasure goes, Tristain will claim a Cloak +2, a Ring of Protection +2, and a AoNA +1, and toss back his +1 ring and cloak.

Tristain would also like the Belt of Constitution +2, but understands that others might need/want it more. Mostly, if you're a doddering old coot and the belt will keep your fart-seeping moldy carcass upright for a few more months, you should take it. Likewise, if you found yourself knocked out unconscious by the woman you were trying to woo all book and you think this might gird your loins to try again with a different barbaric slaver, then you should take it as well.

::Tristain puts down the book he used as reference for this post. The title reads: Lothan's Guide to Making Friends.::

Thanks Tristain. Also, your requests are complete.

Al, definitely take some things. You're bringing up the rear in terms of wealth by level. Time to grab a few items!

Lothan wants none of it. :)

@Kyffin: Sell the Hand of Glory and that Ring of Feather Fall. I never even wrote either of them down, so, I figure if I didn't write them down, what's the point?

I actually COMPLETELY forgot about those. :P

Gonna be the weekend before I can get Lothan squared away.

@Kyffin: Sell the Hand of Glory and that Ring of Feather Fall. I never even wrote either of them down, so, I figure if I didn't write them down, what's the point?

Oooh…Tristain will take the mummified hand of glory if no one else wants it. Tristain won’t even ask what Lothan used the hand for.

Lol! So so wrong. :P

What? No one asked. Absolutely, no one was wondering at all. No one.

Last Level: June 2, 2022.

Lol!

Okay, "Mr. Hand Man", I gotta ask, what is +1 Int? I would guess it's a +1 to Intelligence. But that's only every 4 levels so that's why I'm curious about it. Odds are I'm missing something somewhere. (Because that happens a LOT with me, unfortunately). :P

Okay, "Mr. Hand Man", I gotta ask, what is +1 Int?

Oh, that's just a copy/paste error reflecting my very low intelligence. Ignore that. Loons gunna loon.

:D

I'm thinking with the holidays coming up, do people want to push on or do folks need more time/want to wait until 2023?

Ah. Gotcha.

:D

I'm good with whichever. But if I were to lean toward one or the other, I'd probably lean toward next year myself. I'm going to try and get Lothan leveled up today, but I doubt I will be able to do that. I have too much going on IRL and am not sure where I will find the time for it.

But I'll manage as best I can if we keep rolling. No worries.

I've hit a busy stretch but will try to get Starflit's character sheet updated today or tomorrow. I'm good with keeping things moving, even if a little slower than usual.

Yeah, it does seem like folks are straggling - and at the loot step!

I would like to keep going, and the best way to do that is at a slower pace.

Has everyone taken what they want? I'd like to do the divvy at least if we can.

Starflit's eyeballing the boots of elvenkind, one of the rings of protection +1/+2, the dusty rose prism ioun stone, the potion of blur, and one of the potions of cure serious wounds...BUT ONLY IF NO ONE ELSE CLAIMS THEM. She can use all these items, but she doesn't truly NEED them.

Starflit - it's all yours, although...

I note that you already picked a ring of protection +3. Do you need matching rings for some role play purposes? :)

Nope, more of a metagamey thing: I noticed she has a free ring slot and figured every little bit of AC helps. The bonuses stack, correct?

Ahhh, the bonuses do not stack unfortunately.

Dammit. Scratch that item, then.

I'm ok with a slower pace through the holidays, I'll be more busy than usual as well.

Al doesn't need any of the loot items, he'll probably just upgrade the sword or ring he already has.

On second thought, Al will keep that decanter, it might have some creative uses in the desert.

Nothing for Lothan. All good here.

The Decanter of Endless Water is a cool item. I like handy items.

Cool, thanks. It's all yours Al!

Purchases: Al mentioned upgrading equipment. If we really have time for that, ‘Flit will upgrade her magical starknife to +2.

I'll have more time after Christmas. Just need a couple more days, I promise. Sorry for the delay on leveling.

With the new cash, that puts Lothan at 11,500. He'll spend his cash on upgrading his armor and his boots.

Armor of the Celestial Host goes from 16,200 to 21,000 gold.

4,800 gold.

Boots of the Elven Spirit goes from 5,400 to 7,000 gold.

1,600 gold.

Which is 6,400 gold total, leaving him with 5,100.

That's pretty much it I guess.

Does everyone get a share of gold? Starflit claimed loot worth more than 7,000 gp--is that her share or does she get the gold as well?

Since out GM hasn't ruled we can't upgrade our equipment before (again) heading off after Lowls, I'm going to upgrade Starflit's starknife at some point in the near future.

Everyone gets a share of the gold. :)

Yeah, you can definitely upgrade gear in Okeno.

Happy New Year all; looking to get started again tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

considering the additional weight that Lothan brings to the party. Maybe after a levels of mental growth (or Lothan’s going a diet, or finding some way to make his head less big), they would have travel by more conventional means.

Seduction rituals for horny archers w/very bad judgement?[/ooc]

HA! I swear, poor Lothan gets no respect. And for the life of me, I just can't figure out why? Such an upstanding fellow. *shakes head as he finds himself completely baffled* ;)

So there are some encounters on the way to your destination. I'll give you a chance to stop and handle them, but if you want to continue on you can. They're not necessary if you want to bypass, but there may be some benefit to you if you play them out.

I'm all about checking out everything. Of course, I'm a big-time completionist too. :)

I have pinged Al.

Hey, that's not very nice! These guys have a 9 Int. That's almost average. Probably smarter than Lothan! :D

Lol! Oh man, that just ain't right. There's just no respect for poor ol' Lothan. And he's such a pleasant fellow. :)

Taking a little road trip with the family. Be back on Saturday. Will try to post from my phone but I pretty much NEVER do that because I hate it. :P

So in case you don't hear from me, that's why. :)

Hey all, I'm going to be on vacation next week. Since you're about to head into a new area and I still have a growing amount to do before I head off on vacation, this feels like a good place to take a short break. I expect to resume play Feb. 19 or 20.

Enjoy your vacation!

Sounds good. Have fun, bud!

*bonk!*
*bonk!*
*bonk!*

Just a heads up that I'll be traveling to Argentina/Patagonia from 2/24 to 3/8 or so and my access/time on the internet may be restricted. Feel free to GMPC me or PlayerPC me as needed.

*bonk!*
*bonk!*

(Rubs hands together maniacally). MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I NOW OWN TRISTAIN AND HAVE COMPLETE CONTROL! MWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! ;P

Dealing with a design deadline that I'm trying to get a project finished up by, plus just general heavy workload at work, so will reply ASAP. Probably tomorrow, since I want to make sure I'm giving you good answers to your questions!

I'm out of town this weekend. My projects finish up Monday, so I should be able to post more reliably at that point. Unfortunately, high-level play means combat posts take longer!

I've decided this touch drain without a save is silly. I could buy no save for a hit vs. AC, but this just feels unfun to me.

So, I'm going to retroactively impose a DC 18 Will save for each drain, @kyffin.
