The Avalon Chronicles

Game Master lynora

Sure.

I'm just gonna boneshatter anyway.

(After this spell.)

I thought you needed to be able to see them to acquire a spell target? (AoE spell would work for example, but not a targeted. Touch/Ranged touch spells can hit but have that 50% miss chance).

Edit: Ah I see.

Not ranged touch.
One target- just makes a save.

Edit-
Read those rules.
That really sucks. 90% of what i saw in settro isn't there anymore.

Tybs...
Teachers don't get involved...

I'm more interested in knowing how Mr. Strider can see through all the protections this person has cast. They know what they're getting into by attacking Avalon, and they came prepared. Just so you know.

Merry Christmas.
;)
Cursed-Opposite affect glammer enchanted.

He has no stats at all fireclaw.
None.

...
I really don't think he can.

I'm fine if Tybs want something to do... but really. This person is /at least/ on the level of the teachers. I don't want to reveal too much though, but even teachers are going to find this challenging.

Not trying to say too much.
Not really a person.
Only kind of a teacher.
Can see most anything really within a certain place.
I can remove if this is a major problem. Just trying to do something here.

Feh.

I'm me.

Then again, I'm on par with some of the teachers....

How about this - roll your miss chance against concealment - high is good for you. Since Strider isn't statted out, we'll say that there's an attack roll and other stuff in there - I'm not unreasonable after all, and he /should/ need to roll to hit.

Effectively 50/50 that you hit.

Great, so i double-lose.

Can't win em all. That's part of the fun. :)

Besides... Settro /did/ save Jaiye. She would have been 100% dead without that Wall of Force. :)

Cause... that first attack was only 1 attack.

Imagine if she'd done a full attack with that weapon.

Consequently - if Aananda is ever able to run an analysis on the plasma blast (nanite data recording, etc), she will discover that it is loosely derived from Culture tech... though to the Culture it would be a "peace"-grade weapon, not really suitable for combat in their eyes. (Too weak)

I can Rez that.

Can't save someone who isn't there.

And second-
I feel all the mental pain my charceter does. So sorry if i'm a little ticked off.

Ace - if you do that, Ehos is going to disappear out of your hands. Just FYI. Just letting you know because I am about to head to bed. Feel free to narrate that.

Also... that ability you PMed me about? Doesn't seem to work on this person. There's a reason, and it's even a little hint for you. :)

Ok, now that we all know what this is...

Still gonna murdurize it.

I can spend several more Moments of Inspiration to keep gaining standard actions. Right now, Ace is next to Ehos, I don't want to just whisk him back to the sphere though, without FCD's say so.

Also, this is not using anything beyond his class abilities Fireclaw.

Grumble...

The frosty bird speaks truly.

Edit: I'm off to bed, ima shoot you a PM FCD before I go though.

See? Didn't get used anyways.

Lot's of action and Dom seems to be away for it all again. :p Oh well I guess he'll have to stand in for a lot of the medics that have been slain. Once things calm down. :( Poor red shirted medics.

79% of all star fleet people who died on the surface of a planet were red shirts.

Did Ananda try to contact me?

Y'Know. If Ephebe could get here soon-ish she could go Champion mode and cheat the clock back a minute. Rip the bad guy(or gal)'s throat out with her teeth before this happens. :)
Imagine Kronos being responsible for saving all those people. All the praise him and his champion would have. Luck and Deception would owe him. Love and Compassion would adore him for it. Death would have a big responsibility lifted for it.
Might be just the thing to get on his good side. ;)

I meet Justice...

[clock rewinds]

*has no idea where power came from*

As a champion you'd know what happened.

Yup, Champions are immune to each other's Champion-based powers. So if Ephebe uses her Champion ability to rewind time by 1 minute, other champions will know exactly what happenned in that alternate future, and will know that time was rewound. (Unlike everyone else, who don't know anything was wrong).

Similarily, Vai's Spectrum Spray doesn't work on other Champions.

Unless their patron OK's it of course. :)

Not champion yet

I thought you said you just met Justice?

Poor Tasha Yar was a /yellow/ shirt. D:

Anyway - I had totally forgot it was the weekend. Consider all GMing/characters paused until Lyn says it's alright. :)

I thought you said you just met Justice?

Actually since Yrrin is both a Paladin and a Cleric of Justice (the concept not the patron) just meeting him without becoming a Champion would mean he now knows where he is receiving his power from.

And she died twice... D:

I was gonna post something more with Ace, but then I too thought to wait for Lyn to get back, especially due to where I want to go with my next post or two.

dead guys staying dead?

I'm starting to wonder if Dave is dead.

dead guys staying dead?

The dead cant be reanimated because of the way they (re)died

they are ashes

so no undead revive

Diamani, I dont think the sarcastic s~%* is necessary.
I didn't see that he had ported her away from the accident or whatever, or was "nowhere near" the infirmary.
If I have the circumstances wrong, you can correct me in OOC like FCD does, or in discussion.

FFS.

Nala may have been a bit dazed and such, but after a moment, she discovers herself in a hallway, elsewhere from the Infirmary, (don't they all appear the same) with clean air and no massive weight atop her.

A young man, dark hair, charming and the like, helping her out says, "You okay miss? Take your time, you might be injured... you're okay, the wall atop you is gone."

Tryko'Sam kneels near Nala and ensures she's doing well, lacking any serious healing skills, but at least taking the time to ensure she's good.

"Best I can tell, some sort of attack on the infirmary-- just hang on, looks like a few other students or something are showing up to help out."

Hey there, Kryzbyn-- notice the bolded text in my quote from the post above? Notice how I wrote, "in a hallway, elsewhere from the Infirmary"?

This was to imply, which I suspect you did not to read, she wasn't anywhere near the infirmary. I'm not sure what sarcasm you're picking up on, but it does appear people don't read my posts, so I wanted to emphasis on my subsequent post, that we were "no where near the infirmary", which you instantly discovered with a sniff on your character's nose.

So... feel free to let me know what you took offense from, because, all I'm doing it attempting to demonstrate the physical location of Tryko'Sam and Nala, after he recovers her from the wrecked wall and your characters instant perfect ability to 'discover' her where abouts (plus point out Nala and Tryko'Sam aren't "near the infirmary").

Hope that helps explain things and cool your rage (if it's that). I'm certainly not going to apologize for how you perceive what I write, and I assure you, I'm not being sarcastic in the least.

Far too often I've noticed people just type what they want, versus actually taking the time to read what someone else engaged in the scene have typed, thus imposing /their/ understanding on the situation without respect to what was previously established. My posts were written to help avoid that.

Cheers.

it helps if you outright say stuff instead of imply it

it helps if you outright say stuff instead of imply it

I am out right saying I did not imply anything. Does that help the situation? I'm not sure why Kryzbyn felt it was sarcastic, it was simply my attempt to point out my PCs and Nala's physical location, no where near the infirmary.

Make sense?

PS: Just look at who's attacking who here. All I did was attempt to describe things, clearly, that's it. I didn't offend, nor was it my implication. Food for thought.

If I'm not mistaken, FCD even saw the error and corrected Kryzbyn while I was offline-- so, what is the issue?

it isn't but what you posted could have been misenterpated, and apparently was.
just as you misunderstood what settro posted

Yes, and I didn't attack anyone after that situation with Settro's shackles. I edited and adjusted. Seems pretty straight forward, no? No calling anyone out for their bad posting or what not.

Clearly, if what I posted was mis-interpreted, then I need to improve on my posting so it's crystal clear without room for error, since it seems that was the case.

It's my impression that people just don't read-- I've seen things written ignored a few times, either in haste/eagerness to contribute to the situation, or flat out, not reading prior posts and just reacting to the latest one in a situation.

I'll attempt in the future, to be clearer in my posts. I suspect, however, that more text isn't going to be appreciated.

Note: No sarcasm was intended in this post.

Hey guys. Sorry about the lack of posting today. I had a really bad migraine. It's down to just slight pain and difficulty focusing my eyes now.

Keep in mind that I have yet to read some of the posts in question. But with that said:

Dami, sometimes your tone can come across as very critical even when you think it sounds neutral. In addition, it's a really big thread and sometimes people miss details. Please don't assume that someone is being lazy or obtuse just because they missed some important detail. A gentle correction with some understanding that they may have simply misunderstood goes a lot further.
Edit: I had to have this pointed out to me in real life because I would always get so frustrated with people for never remembering things. I felt like nobody was ever listening to me until someone sat me down and explained to me that I can't expect the rest of the world to have the same freakish memory that I do and people often need things repeated for them multiple times before they get through.

Kryzbyn, please, when you have a problem with someone try to be as gentle and polite as possible when addressing that problem. 'I don't appreciate your tone here.' is a much better way to express your frustration than 'I don't think that sarcastic s&!* is necessary.' And will generally ensure that legitimate criticism is heard with a much more open mind. This doesn't have to be antagonistic.

Totally understood, thank you for your observation and thoughts.

I think some of the problem is that you're always really well spoken Dami. Most people reserve such elegant and well written vernacular for sarcasm now a days and it's simple translatory mistake.
Not something you do wrong. Just an irksome side-effect of keeping Chivalry alive in a time that it's all but deceased. :)

I think it boils down to one simple thing: always assume the best of your fellow players.

That's an interesting observation. Hopefully that's not the case though, imagine if anyone travelling to another country met some well spoken English men! There'd be fist fights left and right.

Heh.

"I say, my good man, how are you feeling this fine afternoon?"

"Why I oughta!"

:punch:

That is an excellent point and a good observation, Tybs. I know I struggle with this myself because for me if my language gets really formal it means I am either very very angry or rather drunk. :)
