@ Glimmil: "Your" bachelor party or a friend's?
At least it's clear why Dyrant decided to dance...don't expect to see that again.
I hope it's not your bachelor party...because we *so* should have been invited. Who doesn't invite random yahoos from the intratubez to their bachelor party? The Answer: Gnomes. Sheesh.
Also, Finneas: AC13?! AC 13?! We are *SO* buying you some new armor buddy!
Yeah apparently being the font of a god's wisdom and power doesn't pay well. After buying yon great mucking sword I had enough left for studded leather. Full plate is on my list as soon as I can afford it, followed by mithral full plate if I can get it. A wand of CLW is top of the list.
You guys would totally be invited to my bachelor party if I was having one.
You're better off than the zen archer in another PbP who is going to start off with a short bow since the monk gold is 35.
Ouch.
"I think it's right and proper to accept his surrender. I don't know what we'll do with a prisoner though. Perhaps we should take his key and let him go."
I'm not sure if I like the fact that this is post 666. :)
@ Glimmil: "Your" bachelor party or a friend's?
Mine! I'm back in town and recovering after festivities... expect my posts to become more frequent and coherent (or intentionally less coherent befitting a gnome?).
Having a proper PC and RSS reader will help me immensely.

How would you handicap our chances in the Stolen Lands? I would hear your thoughts.
I'm not sure I'm good at predicting these. I've seen a lot of DMs error for mechanically sound parties versus working out personalities and player's who will actively participate (i.e. picking up the lone cleric submission when the player maybe posts twice a week and has nothing beyond "I'm an orphan the church took in").
I think you're 99% likely to get in either way (mechanics or beyond). You're the lone druid submission and you have something cool thematically for a GM who professes to be modeling a campaign after AGOT.
I wasn't sure what my odds were, but then the GM took the time to write all that prose for my character, so he has an investment there. I should be pretty solid on both mechanics (as a limited number of heavy warriors are submitted) and hook that the GM could abuse to use me to advance the story.
If accepted, I look forward to playing a dodgy knight - it will be a stark contrast to Glim.
It has the appearance of a good campaign. I was a little shocked to see a lot more apps for the other Kingmaker thread.

Congrats! My wife and I have been married 20 years, and still counting the days. :)

AGOT!? I thought it was modeled after EGOT and I was about to change my character into a Barbara Streisand/Liza Minelli bardess type!
Phew!
Though I don't share your optimism, I'll continue to hope for you and the best.
-Pain
Congrats from me as well. I'm getting married in October so there will be a day where I actually won't be online as much.
Just one day with reduced posting... you're a machine!
Also,
Thanks for all your kind words... it's exciting, we've been together a long time.
... Barbara Streisand/Liza Minelli bardess type!
You know, that's a concept I don't think I've ever seen done all the way.
As I've caught up on the recruitment thread, I think your biggest detractor might be that Ravens might appear a bit anti-social, although I'd very much like to read what a bird-brained druid thinks about when he's not speaking to the humanoids in his party.

I really wanted to apply with a wolf riding goblin cavalier but it didn't seem like a game that would support that concept.

Yeah, hard to see a lot of pull there. :( Racist Brevoy noble bastards probably have issues with all goblins.

Yeah, I do need to find more connections/story hooks and I'm going to another post or two to emphasize and create hooks...I just need to figure out where they are.
Don't suppose, Sir Bregan, you'll be arriving on horseback anytime soon?

Thanks. I'm not quite sure how the RP is taking place in the recruitment thread. At the moment, things are a little choppy and Q&A oriented.
Maybe he'll make it clearer when he expects that to start.
My thoughts? Add some "maester" flavor to Ravens, and give your organization some motivation to send you off wherever we'd be headed.
Sorry to hi-jack the SCAP OOC thread... maybe we'll see some of you guys jump in. Looks like some RotR AP mixed in, now.
.. a rat with a white star-shaped splotch of fur on its tiny forehead. It grips the bars and squeaks excitedly.
This is getting weird.

Exactly. Ah well, one day Splurch the Goblin will ride, and it will be glorious.

Excellent idea. Not sure I want to use that word or include various chains around my neck, but the flavor makes for a very good idea.
And not too sorry to hijack the OOC thread...this is OOC crap and it's all apart of building the social gaming experience, which I like. :)
Was watching soccer this afternoon, sorry for the idleness in the other thread :)
Probably Ghelve's familiar, Starshine. Or Starbright. Or Starface. Whatever he called it. Any way you slice it this feels too easy... a rat with a white star-shaped splotch of fur on its tiny forehead. It grips the bars and squeaks excitedly.This is getting weird.
Here is what I found in the thread about rats & familiars:
18-Elethor Ashstaff (male half-elf, age 58): A wizard and trickster who occasionally performed minor feats of prestidigitation at birthday parties for upper-class children. A dead rat – possibly Elethor’s familiar – was found in his home. He vanished 22 nights ago.
Seems unrelated or perhaps rats are popular around here.
Ghelve whispers, "They're always watching me. They've got Starbrow. They'll kill him."
...
"They came up through the door, the door to Jzadirune. I haven't visited it in decades, not since the vanishing. They, they said they'd kill me. They took Starbrow, said they'd kill him and me if I didn't cooperate. There are the silver ones and shorter ones that look like us but in a sinister way with pallid skin, large noses and soft black hooves for feet. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
Clues suggested starbrow was his familiar though we did not bother to confirm just what was taken from him.
Nice job on having a scroll of comprehend languages!

Thanks...just wish I had food. :(
The only food that Glim carries is the book of dirty limericks, and I believe that's only edible to Undzo.

Depends if they are sanctioned or heretical.

You have a gnome with you, they are bite sized :)
The talking chest made me think of this miniature toothy chest from sodapop minis.

My fiance is actually using that kobold as her half of the cake topper.
That is great! :)
Glim do not forget your +4 to hit on a prone opponent.
Never... I should have posted that as a reminder to Chris.
Hopefully he didn't forget... otherwise it's a hit versus a regular AC14 foe.

No. I was totally cheating, but I've fixed it. You're up loud mouth.
Rockin' It's always satisfying to hit something when you roll a 7.
The fact that they live past 17 and 15 HP of damage is worrisome, though.
1d20 - 2 - 4 - 4 ⇒ (14) - 2 - 4 - 4 = 4 to hit, nonlethal, with a caged rat (improvised weapon)
Well done! Making the improvised weaponry archetypes look appealing.
Opened my Pathfinder conversion file and of course reviewed it and found errors so I'm tweaking/fixing it. HeroLab and common sense say it's still a CR 2 creature which is what the silver men are supposed to be. Since you would have figured these things out by now, their initiative is +4, their AC is 14 (all dex), and their HP is 19. It's a cross between the 3.5 creature and a Pathfinder Dark Creeper. I would've just jused the dark creeper, but they weren't stealthy enough and the small creatures didn't quite fit.
Changed my avatar. Found one that I didn't see before.
I like it better.
Gah!
Gah!
He's a bit more disproving, I'd say.
"Repent!"
He went from "Broken down man in search of redemption" to "REPENT OR BE SAVED!"
He went from "Broken down man in search of redemption" to "REPENT OR BE SAVED!"
He had a bad few days. :(
I don't think he's done anything wrong to need "redemption"...I think he's now searching for a new path and will struggle with that.
Less the character and more the picture. Dyrant the character has struck me as someone who is one drink away from the whole bottle, and this quest happened at just the right time to help him find a different way.
But that picture. I imagine that's what Dyrant will look like after we're done.
Did you do this so I would upload photos of grandmaster torch? I looked at the again and none would crop well to a portrait photo.
But that picture. I imagine that's what Dyrant will look like after we're done.
You've changed my mind. Thanks. Back to who I was.
D30, sadly, you can't upload your own portraits. :(
