I'm down. I'm claiming #0703
Assuming this is acceptable. Choon?
Perfectly. I love it, in fact. :)
Freia, you are amazing. Ariana claims #1775 :P
These four digit numbers are the last four of your much longer (24 digit) Case ID numbers. Internally, they are commonly called your "Quad" by Sorrows and Tears alike.
Technically, your numbers are followed by a -SPUMag1 for "Special Permissions Unit: Magnimar 1", but noone has told you that directly yet. You may have observed this from when you get equipment. The frazzled clerk elf has muttered it several times. Add to character knowledge at your pleasure.
Hehehehe, I like it.
It'll be about an hour or two before I can post, but I'll take #0224.
Glad you like it :D
Noro will take #0004 as that is my most frequent roll I get on a d20
Oh Noro, you make me laugh. :)
Ok, DM Feral has brought up a very good point. If all of you have the same avatar, it's going to get really hard to manage, GM side, with 10+ PC's running around the Inn. In order for us to keep better track of who's doing what, please use your original avatars for your new aliases.
But keep the aliases, because its an awesome idea for immersion and all that.
Hmm, would just putting our names in the character bar be an acceptable solution?
With or without spoiler : )
Or is it just to hard to notice at a glance?
Hmm... or can we do it the other way around - original aliases with the same avatar?
Or even just a name and a hotlink ... could that work : )?
I like that plan.
I think the point is being missed. 10 PC's, at least half of whom are going to look the same, running around a tavern (and possibly a battle map).
Feel free to link your character, that's a great idea. We are also coming up with what we would like to make sure everyone has in their class/race lines for ease of reference.
However, both Feral and I (after some thought) would like easily distinguishable avatar pictures. It's a recipe for disaster and confusedness otherwise. Maybe we'll expand the anonymity later, but with this being a first run of this crossover thing I'd like to not dive down this rabbit hole too quickly and have things go FUBAR.
Aww yeah, that's right... Can't we just use our original avatars just on the combat map ?
Using different avatars on a battle map and the actions posted isn't much better, honestly. It'll just prompt lots of switching between tabs and unnecessary double checking.
It's not like you're wearing name tags, and your in-game descriptions give away more than your avatars IMHO.
Roger. Just so I understand: Are we
a) supposed to switch our new aliases portraits to our old avatars
or
b) supposed to switch our old aliases portraits to new/masked avatars
I'm leaning towards a).
Sorry for being a bother :P
You'd not a bother
....
Yet. :P
Your name should be #whatever, but your picture matches the character.
Better =)?
Yes. :)
ok so #0004 is ok they?
also does anyone look for Noro? she went off in search of a book and never came back (yes she missed the meeting with the Sorrows)
But she got distracted...
Assumed you came around when the Sorrows showed up....
Avatar adjusted per your request, choon
ok made this alias ...
Cool Noro. Go ahead and check in/ introduce yourself.
I've PMed Johnny as he's been really quiet as of late. All we're waiting for is Feral's person (soon to be people) and this thing will get underway.
tried to post earlier but these boards have been extra slow for me today...
Same here. They've been changing formats on my phone too. Nothing major, but noticeable.
Sorry for the delay, guys. The character from the other part of this crossover got caught up in life. GM Feral is wrapping the rest of his party up and sending them to the Nerid's Kiss as we speak. He will DMPC the absent character soon to get things moving. The Event Approaches!
Yey!
You all are now good to go. :)
yay....where we going?
To the crossover thread Here.
Choon .... I know been there gosh I give up. no more funny!
<--- Sometimes can't take a hint. :P
At least you have another link to the thread that's linked under your campaign tab...?
This Yll character seems awfully aggressive. Is her player aware that she is currently the only non-tear PC in the room ...?
Or he knows something we don't?
But yeah, I agree that the character seems really abrasive/aggressive.
She is, by nature, aloof, haughty, and agressive. I've been following her thread and she's playing her character consistently.
Edit: I take back the agressiveness. The apparent aggresiveness is a biproduct of her tendency to be very condescending and her not knowing much about who youall are.
I'm in another game with Yolanda's player, and he's not like that in /that/ game, so his portrayal of Yolanda is really throwing me for a loop.
Particularly since I tend to rather dislike the aloof/haughty/condescending cliche that's so in vogue these days.
Not liking her is just fine as you are now interacting with a rival thread. :)
Yeah, I just hope this all turns out well and there are no hard feelings afterward.
I've never done PvP before except in a group of friends who agreed to have an arena fight with no lasting consequences.
I'm pretty sure we aren't going to end up in an actual pvp.
I suspect not as well, but it really seemed like Yolanda was trying to take it there.
Which is why Feral started combat when he did. This isn't intended for direct PvP, though indirect, faction level PvP is encouraged such as messing with the other thread's investigations.
That was my thought as well (eg avoid pvp, it only ends in tears [huehue]), so I was kind of surprised at the turn it took. But it seems we have something else to deal with. Will post something soon-ish
Doesn't help when two haughty characters clash. Ariana is a bit difficult to play since I usually play the mischievous, trickster characters.
Depending on the map, Ari will likely retreat behind Zayid/Noro/Pelgrev/Freia (Go melee Go melee Go!) and cast Sleep from there. That'll let her target the "enemy" caster along with, hopefully a hyena or two.
Or would you all prefer her to splash a color spray or grease first?
I'm not sure dropping our cc on the Aspis agent is best... Even though she has given us every reason to do so in game, and the fact that Ferals description of the the summons seems to imply it was her work as well (spellcraft says otherwise).
But I just fear everything will end with a bloodbath and half the PC going down :/
Luckily she seems clad in heavy armour - meaning her initiative is crap ... (Clerics -> Not proficient in heavy armour -> apply Armour Check Penalty to Dex & Str based skill and ability checks -> Initiative is a dex based check)
Ariana went first and didn't make any of the DC's for the checks to imply otherwise. All she sees is a caster who seems intent on casting a spell at her and just surrounded the place with infernal hounds.
I'm not questioning the act in-character. I'm not sure your use of your forsight was correct. I think you have to replace the roll before you roll it. As the post is written, you'd have to take the unfortunate roll, I think.
The power says "you may use the result of this roll as the result of any d20 roll you are required to make," but doesn't specify it needs to be used before the roll is made.
My point was that Feral's description of the event makes it seem even worse for poor Yll...
I looked around a bit on the topic of Foresight. What I found was that that most seemed to believe that it does indeed allow you to replace afterwards - but there is by no means a consensus. It has been tagged for faq several times, but never addressed. That was raw, rai many have pointed out retroactive dice exchange is usally the domain of higher level powers. But then again, quickened dim-door is also a first level school power (shift).
ok who started this?
I am down to 1 hp and nearly flanked.
Pelgrev is dropped (he had 6 hp left and got nailed for 7 plus the channeled energy of 1 or 2)
can't wait till round 2.
