"I understand Malcolm's reservations about going to a 'goblin town,' but I do not fear this ogre. He is no match for us, and while dim, knows that much. Why not take this opportunity? Where's the harm in it?"
I am with you all. As Felicitas said, how could I pass up an opportunity to see such commerce and continue to spread the light of Abadar. I can only hope that I am no longer referred to as "bloodthirsty', though. Especially by those whose companionship that I value and have laid my very existence on the line for.
Bah, if you are thirsty and the only thing to drink is blood. Why not? Grung does not seem to understand the issue with the term.
I'm swamped through tomorrow afternoon, so I won't be on.
"I respect you and am indebted to you. But what tips the scales further ...evil destroyed or evil redeemed?"
Hmph, I would say that they are equally important, but some cannot be redeemed, and that is where a decision must be made.
"Are you able to say Meath'd is beyond redemption? I am not."
I do not know, but I do not like our chances due to his very nature and stupidity. I will certainly not be attempting to redeem him. I wish you all luck in that endeavor.
"So black and white. Basically your answer to ogres is genocide."
No, try as you may, but I do not believe redemption worthwhile in this instance. I never said anything about Genocide.
Suddenly the little Fairydragon whistles.
"Malcolm, you do trust desmond, and deep inside you like him. Desmond, you value Malcolms very much. You just like to tease him. Kalim, sometimes you are not better. We are in the middle of a cavern, surrounded by enemies. You humans are sometimes ... so erratic. It is beyond a question of ethics, its a contest who is right! And that gentleman... is stupid. The truth is a triple edged sword! You can have that discussion in an inn, after a mug of ale and it makes sense. Does it here? Really?"
"Little dragon, when a life is in the balance, here is exactly the place for it."
"I mostly like to poke fun at Paladins, seriousness of the situation be damned."
I picked up a nasty virus on my laptop, which is what I use at my house. I'm going to need to run a couple detailed virus, spyware, malware programs when I get home. That being said I won't be online until tomorrow.
I bet the ogre did it! We should have killed it!
But seriously I hope it isn't too serious.
If you'd like we could set up a program on your computer that allows me to remotely access it and I can clear your drive up. Although it sounds like you know at least somewhat what you're doing.
That's possible Desmond?!?! Cool
Yeah, it's actually pretty simple. It just allows me to control your computer from a distance; at that point it's basically me manually working on your computer. Some viruses clear up easy with a few program sweeps, others you need to go in after. I remember one that was moderately hard to remove, but it had a ghost program that rebooted the virus every time you restarted your computer. Freaking nasty.
My IT folks do the remote access all the time and take control of my computers. It's pretty neat what they can do.
I've run 3 different companies and I'm running the final one now.
It's SUPER convenient. Allows direct access without the trip.
I'm pretty busy over the next couple days, I'll try to get a substantive post up tomorrow morning, if I can.
Working on collating the treasure haul since last town visit...basically everything we've gotten since running away from the red dragon.
Sound off if I missed something or you've already claimed it.
I assume we'll be able to trade in goblin town, and we need to figure out just how much gold we took from the troll cave.
Yes there is is trading at the goblin town and meathead will tell you a bit more about on the journey at least from his POV.
The raw gold ore will yield 7,500 gp value. it weighs a lot more but needs to be processed to get the gold out.
Do you all still have the fools gold or did you figure that out finally? If memory serves you figured it out eventually.
I assume you are holding onto any BOG you get otherwise weight becomes a huge concern.
Figured we're holding onto anything that increases carry weight, provides healing or food, or is straight upgrades.
If we sell the mantle of faith, ring of acid resistance, all the small stuff, all the mundane weapons & armor, keen longsword, and ring of climbing, along with the jewelry/gems and coin, we'll net about 12,876 gp each.
Thats assuming they can afford (and want) a 76k mantle of faith.
Things which should be taken/used: belt of str +4 (anyone? We've had it for a while now), +3 studded leather (Desmon I believe), +2 adamantine dagger, amulet nat armor +1, boots of the frog, efficient quiver, immovable rod.
The dagger should go to our rogue and the belt to grungsdi. They are the best for that. If the DM rules wands are close to arrows, then feli would like the quiver.
Dm we did figure out the gold
I would love to trade belts!
Actually the dagger isn't super important for me to have considering I already have adamantine shortswords. I won't complain about taking it thought.
What are boots of the frog? I can't find them anywhere.
I think I would do best with the immovable rod. When it needs to be placed somewhere Desmond is both the trap guy and the acrobatics guy.
Dunno if boots are RA custom item or what hut according to GM:
+6 acrobatics re: jumping, +4 to swim, wearer acquires taste for bugs.
(Slimy yet satisfying)
So the acrobatics bonus only applies to jumping? Damn, can you imagine me with a +27 to tumble?
So the acrobatics bonus only applies to jumping? Damn, can you imagine me with a +27 to tumble?
Correct. This is a FGG/RA item that was made for this adventure.
I'm still really busy today until late afternoon or early evening. I also have to figure out the map to work you down towards the goblin city. The RA book mentioned two levels the ogres came up from but it seems like they missed a level or two they would have had to cross. I just haven't had time to sit with the book open.
Who wants my old +2 belt?
I will certainly take that!
posting in all my games.
For the next 5 weeks I am extremely busy. I should still be able to post once or twice a day, but it is possible it won't happen. Not going anywhere though.
It been hectic at work this week and that will continue through Friday. i should get a few posts up but they may be slow coming.
sorry i'm still swamped through tomorrow. I'll post over the weekend.
kk don't worry!
I'll get an update done this morning. Thanks for the patience.
Very busy with school. DMPC as necessary. Sorry for not being on earlier.
Poor roper. Just trying to get a meal and it suffered an encounter with Wandering Adventurers.
I was exceptionally busy today, so I didn't get a chance to post. I'll try to get something up by tomorrow.
I've been busy at work. I'll move it forward over the weekend.
FYI: Forewarning
I'm exceptionally busy through November 10th and very likely up until just before Thanksgiving. I doubt that I will be posting much. I hate the thought of going into a major battle and me being spotty on my posts. I'm going to give it try but I may put the game on hold until I get through this period.
Here is quick DM status update. I'll be busy through Friday but I should get a post up Friday night. I plan on posting this weekend. I will not be available at all on Monday though. It is still up in he air what happens after Monday.
NP...thanks for the update.
Fair warning - I'm going to be off the radar all day tomorrow.
Unfortunately, my work is going to have me busy all week and next. I should be able to put up an occasional post this week (but not many) and I will be out of the loop next week.
Good morning everyone. There is light at the end of this minimal posting tunnel that is after this coming Friday. I have one more week of craziness then my schedule should ease up for rest of the year.
Yiiihaaaa!
I'll pick up posting again over the weekend. Until then, I'm busy.
