B-b-b-but who is going to do the translating?!?! In all seriousness, hope you and your family get better soon.


Goats dropping from the sky, rash, weakness, drownings, monkey poo, poison.. methinks this place doesn't like us. Not to mention trying to make 10 climb checks.. sliding down hill, bouncing off trees.. and the cannibal chick will be thinking, "MMm tenderized!"

I'll walk the long way :)


Male Human Dad/17

Thank you all for your patience. While it no longer feels like I'm trying to swallow hot coals every time I swallow (now it only feels like a large rock) I'm still not at 100% but should be able to keep up with regular postings from here on out. With the three of us being sick within a two week span I've really had my hands full and appreciate everyone's understanding.

I salute your dedication in simulating the conditions on the island! ;)


Male Human Paladin 2

Please let it provoke my readied action.....

With those rolls, I think there's some law which says it has to... ;)


Aha! The kraken priestess is now offering up dinner to the kraken summoner! I always knew Aero was part of the kraken cult..now we have proof :)


Male Human Paladin 2

Enjoying this WAAY too much.


and thus the Kraken cult partakes in their unearthly ritual..

In the jungle
the mighty jungle
the Kraken sleeps tonight..

Dont worry im sure nothing bad will come of this..

*Must Destroy half elf....*

It's actually amazing how many cultures believe in eating the heart (albiet normally cooked) soon after a kill. Many hunters I knew growing up would cook that the day of the kill for supper. I could totally see Taki thinking it gives strength and poor Aero, being more educated as such, thinking "Eww.. where's the cook pot??" heh.

as for half-elf destruction.. I hereby nominate Aerys for the award. See.. I'm not totally selfish.


Great..the pointy toothed one grinned as Shisa ate those eyeballs.. I'll probably turn to stone.. or worse.. I may have just partaken in the secret kraken cult induction ritual.


Male Human Paladin 2

Its not that bad...

Until you realize that.. I believe Mundin has ALL the camp building gear (at least I didnt write anything on my sheet).. so at the least we can, make some sort of rudimentry site before doing the trek again.

Or perchance can spike some ropes down the hillside and make it quicker..

Oh and that red rash will probably steal more of your strength/will during the night making you all the weaker for the cult rituals to follow..

Could always ask Ms pointy teeth if she has something to cure it?

My apologies on the dumb post, I didnt see the "at the head of the group" part. (What I get for making posts during company meetings)

Im all for bypassing the snake, Tasked as we are and low on resources... (many thanks to Marik's awesome grease).

After the row-boat of death combined with the heat fatigue, ready to about call it a day!

And you never know when the witch elf is going to disappear or lead the party into a trap!

Just wait.. i have the purr-fect trap for our illustrious kraken summoning paladin..

a waterhole!


Male Human Paladin 2

Alright.. purely metagaming at this point but...

Is anyone else worried that.. we are playing in an adventure called SERPENT skull, and we have a self proclaimed witch/cannibal with a serpent familiar (or at least trying to get one)?

Hope no one gets poisoned... as that is going to be nothing but fun and loveliness..

btw Happy Holidays!

Call me dense as I never made the connection. I was only worried about having to make yet another fort save as my neg modifiers are killing me..

Merry Christmas / happy holiday all.


Way to go Aero! Haven't even known the girl a couple hours and already you made her cry. Guess even Kraken priestesses are not immune to the kraken summoner's mean streak ;)

Aerodus sets a new Shiv record for the "Paladin making local native girl cry" event. From rescue to tears in less than 1 hour earning him the gold medal!

heheh


Male Human Paladin 2

What are you talking about?!?! Aerodus just saved her life, and the stress from being in mortal danger just hit her all at once. Obviously she is weeping tears of joy at being saved, and tears of fear at being so scared.

Snake must have charmed her with some sort of spell, but it got away before he could detect evil the thing.


I think we'll have to watch the instant replay.. Tony?? Marik??

Remember.. I'm a rogue.. I saw the Paladin make her cry.. yup, with my own two eyeballs :)


Male Human Paladin 2

Witch elf/snake cult gains another... and an actual witch to boot.

Ha! Correction: The witch elf cult steals the priestess from the kraken cult. It's a rogue thing..

Safe at home and off the roads :) Happy New Year!

I'll drink to that!


You really know how to attract very strange women Aero..

<suppresses a witch elf cackle>


Male Human Paladin 2

Its all about.. maintaining relations...

"Friendly contact"?

Well, everything on this island is trying to kill us.. hope you have a good fort save if you pursue her 'friendly' contact.. *lol*


Male Human Paladin 2

Prof:
: Is it possible for Aerodus to try and teach Taki common while party travels? (Possibly get Marik's assistance). Aerodus is trying to make that language barrier as small as possible between them, but Im guessing there is a higher chance of her learning common, than Aerodus being able to learn Infernal..(and I think he has to get polygot as well?)

Of course results would not be seen overnight or one day session, but Aerodus is wanting to make that effort.

Soo.... who wants to make that climb check?


Aerodus Whiteblade wrote:

Talk about typing with baited breath.. -4 mod due to that rash sapping my strength.. But hey, that's what y'all hired me for :)

Grats on the success! Aerodus would have volunteered to do it Although with his climb history....

Thanks.. that's precisely why I did it.. even though there's no water underneath.. :)


Male Human Paladin 2

All we need to do now.. is battle all the crab cultists (lead of course by the evil druid Bandy) at the top of the hill to claim it as our own...

*shakes fist at paladin class skills*

However.. I think diplomacy probably helped keep the pc's/npc's from going at each other's throats.. at least for now.

By my time tracking its been.. Two days since we left them, so with any luck we may meet up with them.


Let's see.. we have our own grassy knoll..

Being the first one up, I hearby claim this grassy knoll as 'Shisaville' :)

We can set up a tavern over there *points north*, an inn there *points west* and set up a tourist trap shop over there *points east*. We can set up a trade route with the mainland, buy beads.. trade beads to natives for locally produced native goods which we sell for an exorbitent amount to buy more beads to trade.. Any rowdies, we feed to the natives.

I'll.. er, we'll be rich!

Since this is our first levelling, what is the hit point convention used in this game? Max, roll, average, avg+1, reroll 1's...?


Male Human Paladin 2

Congratz Team for making level 2!... Now leveling Blinky the trusted Lantern Archon!

The Exchange

Oops! Yeah - hit points are statistical average: d6=3.5, d8=4.5, d10=5.5, d12=6.5. Round down this level, then up next level (personally I find it easier to just record the '.5' of a hit point, even though it does nothing in game, to remind me when I've accumulated two of 'em for an extra full hit point... if that makes any sense...).


Male Human Paladin 2

Wait.. so the drunk chick who was trying to knock half the party out cold is actually a poet?!?

I'm waiting for Ishirou to be a prince or Sasha a professional seamstress.

I take it you've never met any Scottish poets... ;)

Sasha IS a professional seamstress.. well.. kind of. She's more into opening seams where none previously existed.. in people not cloth, but hey, who am I to argue semantics.

The Exchange

Just to let people know, I'll be AFK for about a week.


Male Human Paladin 2

Have a nice afk period! No Im not stalking at all..


Aerodus Whiteblade wrote:

Yes he is.. he's waiting for you to turn your back and he's going to summon all the kraken horde..with that little pointy toothed kraken cleric trollop they'll try to rule the world!! ok, maybe only the island, but you get my point :)

Have a nice afk!

*grabs her sword and dagger and finds a quiet place away from the kraken king and his consort..*

At a week long corporate meeting/brain washing. Apologizing ahead of time if I don't post.

Interestingly enough there is a speaker named "potts" presenting...

Hey! Don't look at me.. I'm not really going through your pack.. or tying little miss pointy teeth to a tree while you're gone.. nope, honest *innocent elf smile*


ha! The kraken cult has been thwarted!

The DM's back and you're gonna be in trouble
hey la hey la the DM's back


Male Human Paladin 2

Yes... chief Whiteblade does have a nice ring to it.

You know.. as long as we cut out that whole eating people thing.

And forget that 'put baby in Shisa' part as well.. *scowls at Taki* I'm going to have to introduce that girl to Sasha..


Male Human Paladin 2

Oh yea, like he is going to tell the party about that part of Taki's ambitions?

"*ahem* By the way... i may need to impregnate a few of you females... no wait make that all of you. Just to make sure you know? Iomedae says its cool so don't worry about it."

Besides the fact that every female NPC seems to either be punch crazy, stab crazy or love crazy.... I'm sure nothing will go wrong if we put them all together.

I mean.. "yes, I want a poisonous lizard as a pet!" Ummm what? I thought paladins were the crazy ones..


Aero, that was priceless. Glad I wasn't drinking anything or I'd have to wipe the monitor :) heh
