Tyrian Conspiracy (Inactive)

Game Master Cronax

Honestly, i have no idea what to do with those giants but face them down and trust that we can survive it.

I was confident in our success until I saw the AC values, which obviously my character knows nothing about. I assumed their AC would be low due to their size and lack of armor. I was wrong lol

Yeah, same thing here Lucian.

I think we could do it, but only if the dice like us and even then I think we would lose a couple people in the process. Worse case, we try to get away and can't and fight them anyways.

Well, i mainly hit touch AC, so i don´t have that problem :D

For their AC, they had a ton of natural armor, and were surprisingly agile for something of that size.
FYI: The module does indicate that running away from that encounter is probably the right move.

Well that's good

That makes me feel a little better about it.

Thanks to everyone for speaking up so we all didn't end up dead.

JD

Consider Rennoc to be the Gandalf to your Aragorn Chumani.

LOL

Works for me. :-P

So does that mean I'll be King someday?

JD

More like "Warlord" I kind of vision the eventual city state as being run like a "Council", I think we will not want titles like "King" simply to distance ourselves from the "Kings"...

Warlord seems a bit harsh, but the no king thing to distance ourselves makes sense.

JD

I kind of envision Warlord suiting Chumani, after all he does want to scare every slaver in Athas to death...

Seeing as we ran from a giant lizard/drake once, we are no strangers to the concept. ;)

Seriously, I agree with you CHumani - I think we could have done it, but not without casualties. If we had poured everything into one at a time it would have gone in our favor quickly, but a few rounds of us missing their AC would not have helped.

@Hamailli - good to know you target touch ACs...

Hamailii, another reminder to level. Also, what is your default type your 'disrupt pattern' is set to?

Finally managed to level^^
Disrupt pattern is normaly set to humanoids.
Can change it as a move action though.

Hamailii, you seemed to have jumped straight from level 4 to 6. I'm sorry if there was any confusion. You should be level 5 right now.

Oh ok. Misunderstood that.
Need some time to fix that, could take untill wednesday depending on when i find the time to herolab next. Sorry.

leveled down again.
I substracted 1 from every skill or other action i used before though.
Note that there are some things incorrect on the sheet right now, since herolab has some bugs still with ultimate psionics.
My damage is 3d6 right now already, not 2d6. for example.

Rahger, Rennoc and Hamailii, are you doing anything this round?

GM I am going to be out of commission for a week it seems, the jackals of verizon struck again... Getting new internet connection, that is going to take at least a week unless I get real lucky... Bot me until then.

ok.

Just wanted to clarify my previous round's action. I meant to use 2 Handle Animal checks there. One to call the crodlu in E11 at the time and then the other roll to have it stand its ground where I called it to.

Sorry, didn´t have internet the whole time.
Some construction site nearby cut it off.......
Updating later today.

We all still here? ;)

I´m here again, have internet since yesterday.
But need to read up first^^

Ok, thanks for the heads up.

And yes, Kn. Arcana, not Spellcraft. Sorry!

I propose an experiment, as I do like high post rate games I am wondering if anyone would like to try increasing the number of posts we all make per day, barring catastrophes, holidays etc...

I am not proposing we bump the rate up to save 7/day I just propose we gradually increase the posting by day by 1 extra post (over a period of say weeks) a day until we find the group "sweet spot". Any takers?

Well seeing as some folk in the party don't post daily I'd say we are at the sweet spot. I thought you had no net anyway? ;)

I'd be happy with 1 post per player per day.

Updated things on the Campaign Info tab.

At this point the new net is fluctuating, it's like a two headed chicken the size of a human... And I have to force it to keep moving in the direction I want, scrap the experiment at any rate if you guys so prefer.

It's not a bad idea, I just know that due to work my posting rate isn't consistent as it is. Some days I have plenty of time and could post 4 or 5 times. Others I'm lucky to get one in.

JD

perhaps a increased post rate experiment on one particular day that everyone has some down time (if that is possible)?

I can see how this can be beneficial. Personally, unless I am quite busy I usually restrict myself to a post per day or wait to post after most of the group has done so. But like Daishata mentioned, I think there are some that are already posting at their peak frequency. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try sometime.

Hey people!
I just want to let you know that unfortunately internet isn´t really stable here and i have a lot of stuff to do out of house in the library, since i have the last exam on monday.
After that, i´ll take up regularly posting even if the internet will not be back at home.
Please excuse me and bear with me, i very much want to finish what i started.

Don't worry I to am wrangling with net problems, someday I swear I will migrate from this geographical pit to a land where hopefully the internet is better...

I am fine with increasing post rate, I try not to post too much but also fall out of the habit when I do so, not to mention a recent horrendous family obligation.

So, i´m back.
And i think i can post regular again from now on.
Several times a day could get difficult though.

Another question:
Should i just jump in again or any special plans or things happened Cronax? That´s why i´m not yet posting, a lot happened.
I overflew it all, might have overseen some details but i know the picture.

@Hamailli - generally just jump in with your character's thoughts on current plans.

Nothing has happened of huge import - we have been alerted that the residence of House Troika, a House Vordon front, may hide/hold incriminating evidence on Thaxos, the House Vordon head. We are considering a stealth mission to uncover/retrieve the evidence needed.

Jump right in. My last few posts had a couple large info dumps, so definitely read those when you can.

The loot document has been updated to include your payment for following Nadar. (Thanks for reminding me Chumani). Factoring in everything up to this point (including Hamailii and Rahger's resupply). Your liquid funds right now are:

Chumani 734.73 ceramic pieces
Daishata 312.92 ceramic pieces
Rennoc 372.23 ceramic pieces
Gideon 662.23 ceramic pieces
Rahger 305.5 ceramic pieces
Hamailii 412.52 ceramic pieces
Lucian 773.22 ceramic pieces

As before, if anyone wants edit access to the loot spreadsheet, PM an email address.

Perhaps we can just meet up in that building at the same time?
Not sure if we need to search the city for maigcal items or similar stuff in 3 weeks playtime. Guess if Cronax wants us to find some, we just will.

Sorry about that. My computer troubles should be at an end for now.

As stated multiple times, Talara has access to buy magic and psionic items. You’ll still have to pay for them, but she can get you anything you can afford right now.

Really don´t understand what this attack situation in the city is about at the moment. Can someone explain it to me please?

We are tasked with retrieving damning evidence of corruption currently held in the House Troika compound/building. House Troika is a front for House Vordon who we suspect of corruption and manipulation of the Tyr assembly/government.

At least as far as Dai understands it. ;)

That´s what i remembered too.
What i´m unsure about is why we need to attack them now.
It sounds more like a stealth situation or social situation so far.
I guess attacking them in the city is kinda suicide.
I don´t mind making a new character, but maybe some others and it would be a break in the camapign^^

I agree, which is why Chumani is trying to dissuade Rennoc from blowing things up unless needed as an escape route.

The challenge is he's new at this "leader" thing and trying not to force the issue.

JD AKA Chumani

Well I don't think my timing could be much worse, but I leave on Saturday morning for vacation for 9 days.

I will have some internet access but I'm not sure about how much free time when its available.

Cronax, please feel free to make any needed decisions for Chumani if I am to slow responding.

Thanks

JD

Ok, I'll bot Chumani as needed. However, you may want to designate a lieutenant for deciding the plan of attack since that's not something I can do for you.
