I haven't yet....
I'll look into it when I get home.

Mine arrived! Thank you VERY much! Threw my father-in-law into confusion because the package was addressed to Serena Mistcastle! He was like, "Does a Serena Mistcastle live nearby?"

RPGGGM |

I thought it would probably be less confusing than 'Whtkht'. ;)

So it looks like it arrived in country on the 16th and then "arrived at international carrier" the next day and hasn't moved since. It doesn't tell me who this "international carrier" is or where inside of Australia they are located in relation to you, so I'm not sure how long is too long to get to you, and my guess is that UPS (the original shipper) probably doesn't have a great handle on it from afar, but I'll give them a call in the morning (it's 2 am local time here) and see what I can get out of them.

If you have the tracking number I can potentially bug auspost from this end.

I think Australia is extra paranoid about stuff getting imported :)
I got a notice about a delivery attempt yesterday - but will not be able to pick it up at the carrier station today, so it'll be until next week before I learn more...

Zokon Santyev |

Hmm that tracking number is not working for auspost...

RPGGGM |

Yeah, I think you're just going to have to wait on the post office to deliver it. It would be the same thing here in the States if the post office was delivering it the "last mile". On the bright side, that means (depending on your post office's speed, the package's 'class', and where the package came ashore) that you should probably have it in hand this next week. I'll have to remember to send stuff to you two weeks in advance instead of just one.

That's weird the package should only weigh like half a pound. I would have thought it could fit inside the door or even in your mailbox (if they are allowed to do that in Austria--only the US Post Office is allow to use that in the States).
It looks like everyone else at least got a note about theirs except perhaps Victoria which I am looking into, and Posh--who never gave me his address--somewhere in Israel I think. Hold off spoiling them until Alia, and Zokon tell us they got theirs.

RPGGGM |

Okay, one little spoiler....
Got mine! Very cool!
I was going to try and fit a key into the design--as a nod to Durgan's holy symbol, but for some reason they only come in Cloud Giant-size which didn't look right.

Zokon Santyev |

Got it and love it... gonna have to do something colourful.... and i'll stop.. no spoilers
Thankyou

Alia of the Blade |

I do hope my SO got to pick it up today. The pickup station is a bit out of the way for us, but now I'm REALLY curious.
(Short rant: there's a significant problem with any shipping around here not done by regular mail service or amazon - basically all the other carriers don't even TRY to deliver it, then just place it on pickup in whatever contracted location has available space. It's a mess, you have to follow these contract locations times of business, and they can be rather far away from where you live. If today did not work out, I'll try and make a detour tomorrow to fetch it.)

Patience is a virtue :P

So! Since Illthir's status bar still says unarmoured I figured I might as well move towards the rust monster, since she has less valuable things to lose. (And Uncanny Dodge!)

Happy Thanksgiving Eve to those who will be eating a ton of calories tomorrow in anticipation of busting big box store doors open on Black Friday. As my sister and her family are all sick we are moving Thanksgiving to the weekend so I'll be free after work tonight... If anyone wants to post anything... At all....

Illthir Winlowe |

Luckily for you my turkey starved friend - us europeans won't be distracted by such nonsense!
We will, probably, be asleep though whenever "tonight" is :P

Zokon Santyev |

Thanksgiving no existo here-o.

RPGGGM |

Thankless Aussies. ;)
Here's what folks got. (Or in Victoria's case will be getting in a week or two).

Illthir Winlowe |

They're really neat aren't they? I wonder if I can shake some life in my old miniature paints and risk trying to give it some colour. We'll see if they cooperate.
---
Now that the fight is over for the moment I added the last few things from the level up to Illthir's sheet: Glitterdust and Spell Focus: Conjuration. We'll see how that works out : )
I've also updated the header. And Illthir will slip into her armour asap now that she knows things are clearly out for her blood.

Serena Mistcastle |

Going away to Disneyworld until the 5th. If I am in your game, feel free to bot me. If you are in my game, we will pick up at that time.

Illthir Winlowe |

Oh that sounds fun. Good luck on your trip : )

Alia of the Blade |

Aye! :) That is awesome!
I never really got into miniature painting, but I do have a friend who does Tabletop stuff (Warhammer and others) - been a while since we were in contact but maybe he'd be up for some contract work :)
In other news, my two small ones passed conjunctivitis on to me. Been out for the last couple days, now catching up again everywhere.

Glad you like her. Your friend is going to need a real fine brush for Alia's red hair stripe.

Get well soon.

Alia of the Blade |

He actually made and painted purity seals for his Terminators. Like, with script. I think he used Sindarin.
I do think he could do the hair stripe - if he finds time and I can get back into contact with him - contact faded out when he moved.

Alia of the Blade |

Interesting.
I am aware animated objects are usually mindless - but I figured this one would be a security feature of sorts, and hoped it would be imbued with limited sentience(e.g. to recognize it's master and automatically open).
So either it's command-word activated (any way to find out?) or it's not even a security-feature, after all...

I am envisioning the lab scene from Gremlins 2. A great number of mutations including a particularly erudite Gremlin.

That's about it.

Alia of the Blade |

So, we can expect some help?
@Gameplay: I was following Zokons lead - he started diplomacy - I intended to follow suite. But I figure with a natural roll of 1, thats about how that would play out.
I could add something like "Make Avalon great again" or "Let's seize the airfields!" but that kind of didn't really fit for the lizards.

Zokon Santyev |

Love it... Mogwai... now all we need is a Barbie car... t

Well, yeah but nothing says he can't throw Alia under the cart. "Uhh, she's off her herbs, and healing potions just now."
Still, it is going to take at least a minute to explain it to the talkative shocker lizard. I'll let folks decide what to do today.
Besides, I thought that Zokon would use his Wild Empathy ranger class ability to influence the other two. ;)

Durgan Far-Walker |

Durgan is generally of the mind "Subdue them with NL damage before the protective spells run out," but I don't want to wreck others' Diplomacy attempts. So he will wait, be a Total Defense doorstop, and see what happens.

Zokon Santyev |

Well this is most likely going to be the option now due to our awesome skills at diplomacy and the sparkling results we got.... now it'll be ..
You no like talk ey... well ok... whack! whack!.. howabout we talk now?
whack! now?

Heh :P
