Any requests for spells? I'm tentatively looking at 2x Enlarge Person for any of Tad, Teyran, and/or Valeska, and Ray of Frost, Daze, and Flare for my cantrips.
Color spray. Need to take as many of them out of the fight as possible.
I have it as my School spell, so it's ready to go even with the Enlarge Persons. :)
Cool!
The monthly 'Family Visit' is upon me. My posting should return to 'normal' about Sunday or Monday.
PMS affects your posting?
Sigh...
I realized after the fact that the 'quotes' would affect the interpretation...
No, I really do have family visiting. It happens every month about this time & it completely plays havoc with posting is all.
Which is really aggravating right now, seeing as I'm kind of playing center-stage on our current scene...
Gosh, Valeska ruins all my attempts to be a big damn hero. It has probably saved Teyran's life a time or two, but still. . .
You haven't heard what she has to say...
Down with another cold/sinus/chest thing, but I will try to post today. I am quite surprised I am even conscious right now.
As long as you're not in a foul TPK mood.
Alright, company has headed back home so I should be back to regular posting.
Which is to say, as soon as it's my round again I will be trying to get us back to the battle plan on my end.
Tad, all seriousness... do whatever Tad thinks is right. You'll just have to answer to Marshal Grendolynn. Don't worry about Valeska. :)
I'm going to withdraw from this. It was great when we started, but now it's just too slow. We haven't had a post from the DM in over a week because of his cold or whatever, and before that it was the LARP etc. Sorry guys.
Thanks for the chance to play DM, hope you feel better. Good luck in conquering the stolen lands everyone.
We were about to kick bandit butt! Quit after the encounter, Valeska needs Gren!
That is sadness! :(
I lament never being able to have awkward elf-hobgoblin interactions with you. Another time, perhaps.
Of course, you gotta do what is best for you.
Good gaming!
Awww!! Dangit Gren!
I can understand, don't entirely agree, but I understand.
Take care, have fun, hope we have an opportunity to play together another time.
I just came on to say I am still sick. Like been to the hospital, haven't been out of bed in four days sick. I am not sure when it will break so I can't give you a day that I will definitely be back. Anywhere from a day to a week.
I don't blame Grendolynn for losing patience since it has been a really slow three months. Good luck with your other games.
Everyone else, thanks for your patience I will try to make it worthwhile and reward it as soon as I am no longer having fevered delusions.
The important thing is you get better.
Gotta be careful what you catch at that LARP stuff. Feel better.
I was getting worried! I still am, but it is good to see you post again, even if it may be a while before the next event.
You have all of my best wishes for a swift and complete recovery.
Don't worry, I'll be sticking around. Take your time and get better!
While we're waiting for our GM to recover, I though it would be a good time to discuss a few character related things.
Namely, I don't want to be disruptive with potentially conflicting play styles, and if someone is not okay with some forms of character interaction, I would like to know now so as to not even have it come up rather than to go ahead with something and cause undue strife that cannot be undone.
My initial concept for LoTae was to initially be a bit rough around the edges, especially with non-elves, but capable to form bonds with others even stronger than the bonds of family. Of course, with the elven long view of things, such a transformation would take a long time (as in, possibly years). However, once someone earns the title of "Friend", the loyalty between them would be super powerful, and any snideness would be replaced with jovial pranks and genuine kindness, caring, and pride.
The possible issue of course would be getting there. Kingmaker type games are generally good for this as it is possible for years to pass quickly. However, I want to put it out there that, if you are all willing to put up with a bit of tension at the beginning (nothing violent though, mostly just some snideness, rudeness, and dismissive comments from time to time), the payoff will be worth it. Of course, if anyone has a problem with this, I will happily yet subtly change this plan to better fit the group and campaign. (and yes, I have done slow character growth like this before, successfully to. Though the success of it was in part to everyone being on the same page at the beginning of it all).
...so... thoughts?
I bristle at discussions of conflicting play styles... and can't stand it when folks apologize. :| j/k.
Play as you like. :)
lol.
Good thing I haven't apologized! ;)
Seriously though, I have seen terrible, game-ending fallouts happen when people don't discuss things to ensure they are on the same page, and/or assume that anything is okay without first checking. I'm just trying to make sure there is no conflict in play-style at all.
I also work in theatre IRL. Assumptions are very dangerous and I try my best to never make any. (at least in the general sense like this. I will still have my secrets and surprises. Don't worry about that)
^_^
Edit: Huzzah! :D
Works for me. Morley won't give up on ya. No permanent damage... no problem.
I think there's a difference between "flavor" and constant "badgering". And, if the game is "Non-PvP", then I wouldn't expect "social PvP" (non combat skills) either.
Otherwise, you're free to do whatever you'd like with Valeska. She'll react, you'll react, etc... and we have RP!
I don't know. At the moment I'm opposed to everything you do and say, because Teyran's no longer the oldest one in the group.
Anyway, that actually sounds kinda like how Teyran is, though with more gruffness than outright rudeness, and that the gruffness never actually goes away, so have at it.
Hi, have we met? The name's Tad.
All I have to say is that Long Pointy Ears are even easier to grab than rounded ones...
;/
I'm going to postulate that as a half-elf and a wizard Antha would be LoTae's most natural ally of anyone in the party. Knowing the character concept, I'm fine with it whatever happens.
lol. Yeah, read through some of the gameplay thread about a few pages in. Tension has already made it's presence known, a little more can't hurt.
Just wait until you need healing Tad! *shakes fist*... Just kidding.
Anyhow, as long as the tension doesn't spill into something akin to PvP or affect the party cohesion overly much, it shouldn't matter.
Just wait until you need healing Tad! *shakes fist*... Just kidding.
Why do you think I have the Toughness Feat? Because I'm a dick & sooner or later everyone will figure this out & go all 'Murder on the Orient Express' on me in my sleep...
Only the joke will be on you because I will be hidden between the ceiling joists waiting for just such an occasion!..
Crap, that was my outside voice again wasn't it?
I'm walking thru Grand Central NYC, grinning from this Tad post... Some smiled back, everyone made way.
Well I am starting to recover even though I still have a cough, and it turned into an ear infection (I think/hope because otherwise my ear is hurting very painfully for another reason) today which sucks. I should get things back in order and be able to post tonight or tomorrow. I am on my week of vacation from work as well starting tomorrow.
Ooh, ear infections suck, I've had more than my fair share of those. Last one was the beginning of January when I wandered the school looking for my classes in the rain. My hearing didn't fully come back until the middle of February. On the bright side, that one was more mild than most of the ones I get, because it didn't rupture my ear drums.
Glad you're on the mend!
WOO-HOO!!!
(well, not for the ear infection, but the general better-ness and vacation time)
^_^
That did not work out according to planned. I ended up flying to AZ, and didn't have internet access. I didn't post anything because I was suppose to have it. I will be posting now whoever is still with us here.
Here!
Oi!
Ayep. Ready to bag some bandits.
~ssssssSSSSHHHINK!!!~
^_^
Come again? Plan is thus far flawless... immaculate.
If the lookout wouldn't have followed Tad (the bait), he was just directly ordered to do so.
Sweet plan.
You have to keep in mind, Teyran was never too keen on leaving any of the team vulnerable, certainly not if it was anyone other than him.
Still here, there's just not much my character can do right now.
Likewise.
Unfortunately, my monthly visit from Family is starting a few days early this month, so I expect I will be posting even less frequently than usual for the rest of this week.
Does she have line of sight, or could she with a move action? Once she's got line of sight, distance?
Valeska? Not that far back in the forest. The others will get to act in this next turn.
Line of sight?
Trying to catch a break. We had a death in the family on Tuesday. Tomorrow is the viewing and family stuff, Saturday is the funeral. I will be back on Sunday, best I can do now. It is something new every week and it is getting old fast so I know you guys must be frustrated.
