Sorry I have been distracted lately.
There is a new girl in my life and and new boy too.
The girl I am dating and the boy was just born and I am his uncle.
Wow! Nice, congrats!
Awww! That's nice news. Mazel tov!
Congrats.
I'm moved (I posted a while back saying I was moving), and finally getting my head above water. I've been posting in some games, catching up with them slowly, and am now catching up with this game. I don't anticipate any long delays again in the forseeable future.
Guys, it's our last weekend of our Normandy vacation and I won't have a chance ti get online again. Please DMPC me until tomorrow night.
If possible, Lord Zohan will mage hand that staff to him, dismiss the grease, and identify it.
I have absorbed the goods found in the upstairs chest and the extra-large ogrekind's room.
At least one of the unclaimed items, the amulet of health +2, is simply too useful not to use!
+2 con
Did we lose Zadderk and Lucan?
Absolutely not. I've just been biding my time wondering what to post. I'll post now, however..That said, for some reason my gameplay tab hasn't updated so when you posted in discussion I realized how much I'd missed. My apologies.
I think we lost Andras, though. I don't recall the last time we heard from him. :-(
Not too concerned with that. It's a 4 person game anyway. The lack of a healer hurts, but still...
Your right Andrass hasn't posted in a while and Lucan is MIA as well...
I will ask for a replacement player or two and we may have to replace them.
It's a pleasure to meet you all.
And Hey Dreaming Warforged
There is nobody in town who can use magic to quickly contact magnimar so Andrass and Lucan are going to take horses and ride hard for Magnimar and try to report what is going on to the lord mayor. The trip is dangerous and only skilled adventurers could do it quickly. The ships are being loaded and prepared in case an evacuation needs to happen so they cant take them.
Lucan or Andrass if you come back let me know and we can have you rejoin later.
DireMerc, even though I grin each time I read it, I thought I should point out that the large marvel of Thassilonian engineering blocking the water is a 'dam', rather than a 'damn'. ;-)
Oh, and a warm welcome to Alya!
Now I am wondering what is everyone's height, This it helps my visualise the scene in proper perspective, as it may do with other players.
DireMerc, Dreaming and Vrog, know I do renderings of characters.
All I need is a description, a height, and idea of what a character is wearing and I can get very close the first go, and do refine it.
Currently making an Updated Ayla,
Dreaming, I already got a Good idea given your description.
Edit: Render Updated
So I got the body pretty much perfect, nice.
Now just the hair needs work.
I can make a quick list of hairs I have
And for every time you boost STR with levels or inherent bonuses I add X0% to the body builder morph.
Hey guys -- I fear I have to withdraw from this campaign. I'm finding with my new job (about 2 months in now) that I just don't have the spare time and mental energy to keep up with all the games I'm in. More than once I've gone far too long (like right now) without posting, and I fear this will just continue.
I'm sorry to drop out, although I think this party in particular has a lot of the roles covered and will be fine without Lucan.
I suspected as much thanks for the notice.
RL happens,
Thank you for the update.
Just a question, but It's been more than just a day since we fought the ogres at the Graul farm, right? If so then I've got gravity bow more than prepared.
Spells Prepared for the Day:
Aspect of the Falcon (lvl 1)
Gravity Bow (lvl 1)
Cat's Grace (lvl 2)
Uhh.... I should probably point out that if I get hasted, and expend all of my buffs, even from the forest (which normally gives concealement, but doesn't, as a result of the seeking property) I'll have a +16/+16/+16/+11 to hit, and that's using Deadly aim and rapid shot at the same time...
Every shot will also deal 2d8+9 damage
That amount of to hit also includes the fact that my Crossbow has a range Increment of 120 feet, which, as per rules, imposes a -2 per range increment. This basically means that if they're within 240, I can shoot from where I'm standing, behind trees, and hit them with a +14 on my rolls.
Or, if I just take off deadly aim, It'll be back up to 16 again and dealing 2d8+6 which isn't anything to snuff at. Also where we're in a forest, my initiative is higher so I could do it again.
Basically I just really hate Giants and Humans alike.
I feel sorry for any giant that cheeses off your character.
If things go well and I manage to find 6000 gold laying around, I'm having this thing enchanted with Giant bane.
Your aiming for a Thousand Years of Pain thing aren't you.
Ha! Something like that... only deadlier. Much deadlier.
So confirming game plan;
Wait for shaman and rush him?
Zohan attacks
Ayla Uses Martial Flexibility (grab two feats)
Next round
Zohan casts Enlarge on ayla
Ayla charges shaman (to grapple and pin him)
Rest of encounter;
anything goes.
Soooo, unload, then?
If you have to get up very early Wednesday morning and are near the Pacific Ocean you will get to see a blood moon.
This is the Second Blood Moon in the current Tetrad.
I AM STILL HERE. I've just been neck-deep in finals. I sincerely apologize for the absense, and I need to inform you that I'll never willingly drop out of this rune lords game. I've just been very preoccupied. My deepest apologies. Now who's turn is it?
Glad to hear it zadderk
BTW Ayla and Zadderk you can post. Still no actions for this round.
Could I, by chance, get an initiative tracker? I'm never really sure when it's my turn.
When I say everyone can post in any order that includes you. I don't expect everyone to post only when thei're turn is up on init that would take to long.
It goes
->everyone in any order
->enemies
->repeat
Sigh...Zadderk why aren't you posting? Are you just not gonna post so long as there isn't an init tracker? Cause sometimes I don't even roll init at all for a fight. In play by post it just gets in the way.
Generally speaking the initiative tracker not being there is a major hindrance for me because I'm only able to post sparsely, and in addition to being swamped in college I believe I'm going to need to drop out if I'm to maintain my own current game. I humbly apologize.
I think I'm actually going to close this game. It got off to a rocky start and has been limping along since and I sorta lost interest. The game is currently off the track as attacking the damn right now is a bad move since reinforcements are just going to keep coming and overwhelm you. Your're supposes to do ogre cabin -> Fort -> Damn. Basically this fight would keep going until you retreat and this could take a while which is why I kinda lost interest.
Well that and I'm a little busy right now, I'm leaving my current job and moving from canada to germany in the next few weeks to start a new job.
Got it.
