Unexpected Rulers

Game Master Keddah


1 to 50 of 405 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | next > last >>

I'm so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight, and I would especially like to welcome all the representatives of the Pathfinder Community who have chosen to join me here in the Paizo PbP forum at this time. I do sincerely hope you'll all enjoy the show, and please remember people, that no matter who you are, and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there are still some things that make us all the same. You, me them, everybody, everybody.

Everybody likes some rolling!

Now let's get started.

About the rolls, I do most dice rolls in the open. I just keep for myself those for NPC's bluff checks and for those characters I don't want you to know their stats (main NPCs mostly) I also prefer to do your Sense Motive rolls if you don't mind, you just call for a roll and I make it and tell you if you find something out. I think this helps the mistery and makes for a more enjoyable experience but I'm open to suggestions.

About the combat encounters, I'm thinking about using maps hosted in google docs for the encounters but being my first PbP DMing I don't know how that will work, do any of you have experience or proposals for this? If you all agree I will need an email address. Mine is "DM dot Keddah at gmail dot com"

About the story, I want you to take the lead, I insist. I may have several ideas in my mind but this is your land to tame, destroy or improve. I'm more than willing to find a place for your cool ideas, "So you say your character has heard of a dragon's hoard? Well surely there's one, but it won't be easy getting to it" "What? That man that just arrived in town is strikingly familiar to your lost long grandnephew you just invented a couple of days ago? Well, I'll be damned, what were the odds?"

I want interesting characters, I want awesome stories, but more than anything I want fun.

And now that I've got that out, please, would you be so nice and make a little introduction to your character (fluff & crunch wise) and tell me, What do YOU want from this game?

I'll get back to you with more info on the fluff of the campaign soon.


A tall, lithe woman of Elven descent enters the antechamber. She wears an elaborate gown of nigh translucent silk dyed to match her creamy complexion perfectly, as to suggest in passing that she is nude. The cut is flawless, accentuating the gentle curves of her slender frame. There is a slit in a hobling skirt which allows her slender legs to operate freely, framing a wholly erotic display of the flesh of her left thigh while revealing nothing. Rose gold curls spill over narrow shoulders and pools amist a train that drags behind her, it whispers softly when she glides across the floor in flat sandals. Wholly human hazel eyes are the least impressive feature of her attractive face, although one cannot fail to notice the amber starburst pattern set amid the slate gray of her irises before focusing on her full, sensuous lips. She wears a faint smile, as though one inured to private amusements.

”Good evening, gentlemen,” she greets, her voice a surprisingly rich alto, though not flawless. There is a rough quality to the tone that lends to the impression of a purr that is not wholly unpleasant. ”I trust that the hours of preparation for this… rendezvous has not lent itself to negligence on my part,” she says, her voice and pitch clear and her cadence flawless, as though providing harmony to a silent melody.

”If labels concern you, I am called Thalia by many, and Winterflower by few,” she continues, and looks to a chair. ”May I?” she inquires, but picks up her skirt and moves to it directly before you answer.

Thalia’s legs slide over each other beneath the slit in her tight skirt revealing a great deal more flesh as she settles with her long legs prominently displayed and she leans back, appearing to allow the furniture to support her weight. A trained eye can tell, however, that Thalia’s spine is rigid, and although her eyes slide closed as if lethargic, they are quick and discerning, studying each of you in turn.

”I will not bore you with the miserly details of my profession she continues, her full lips turned upwards in a beautiful smile. ”My talents are many, my interests are varied, and I am in all things discrete.”

...

What Thalia would love of this game is to be able to be almost fully dedicated social bard. This does not mean that she will not take intelligent support spells, particularly the pretty awesome bard only spells that came out in the APG. She has no desire to be a "ruler," but she will do anything to ensure that the government's position is always... firm and that any and all information that is known about it to the public is positive if not all sweetness and light.

Ultimately, Thalia desires to rid the River Kingdoms of all influences that she cannot manipulate or otherwise control. To that end, she will be investigating and gathering information constantly. This does not preclude her own party members, although she will not go to unhealthy extremes - unhealthy to her that is. She'll respect the party's wishes to remain anonymous if that is their bent since she is a pretty darn squishy gal who will almost certainly rely on them to live.

She has several concrete goals, and those are to seek out and destroy the purveyors them who benefit from the drug trade in Pitax, and destroy the bard college there, and finally Castruccio Irovetti's cult of personality. She finds the Bard King's consumption particularly heinous, especially in light of the more colorful rumors that are circulated about him.

Hmm. Now that I have thought on it some, is it too late to alter our characters more? I should think that someone who makes a point of being flexible shouldn't be tied to having material components for her spells, and eschew materials is too good an opportunity to pass up.

Not So Minor Personal Details:

Currently I'm at GMT - 8. At the end of next month, October 29th, I will be flying home for an extended visit with my husband in Norway (it's a long story) and my time will be GMT + 1. But there'll be a 30-48 hour period of silence from me at that time, I should think, unless I am lucky enough to get a flight with power sources and internet.

my gaming email is GM "underscore" Aria "at" yahoo "dot" com


The man in the dusty coat with the long gun doesn't smile, but bears a haughty sort of self-confidence that seems to be long in promise, but doubtful in practice. He sizes people up quickly and calmly and nods to the beautiful woman.

"Name's Sev, Sev Granger. I'm here for the challenge."

Sev wants to hunt. He wants to be the best damn killer in the bunch and to prove that he's not just a spoiled noble. In addition, he's secretly interested in being close to death and seeing the moment when life turns to death. To this end, he'll always prefer to attack rather than to talk, always favor action over discourse and always want to be close to the action when it goes down.


Thalia it's not too late to change the character, you can do it until we start the IC thread.
EverybodyI would like your opinions on which other characters do you think would be best for the party I think a full arcane caster and another melee combatant are clear choices, and the seventh man could be anything.


My 2cp:

I like the beast rider cavalier. With my advanced knowledge, it really fits in Pitax, with what Irovetti is up to. Also him running around with a bunch of big game animals will be an interesting dynamic vs. our big game hunter.

Second, I like the cowardly void spun sorc. He may not be a full arcanist, but! I think he's got a lot of potential. I mean, he's a coward now, but, maybe that'll change through play. He's also flexible with what he wants to do, which makes me smile. I hate people who go "yeah, this is what I'm going to be for sure when we get there months from now."

Really hoping Raxus is still on board. Umm... Of the full arcanists, I kinda wanna sit on that one a while, and really scrutinize their entries, I think.

First this post got eaten by the site, then my house lost power while retyping it. I spit in the face of the gods of obstruction. This post is going to come in a few pieces just to spite fate. The edit button is my friend

The man standing next to the musician's stage trying to keep behind one of the room's majestic pillars (but failing in his efforts to seem like he's not trying to hide behind a pillar) is simply enormous. The next tallest man in the room scarcely reaches the bottom of his broad chest. He must be more than eight feet tall, and as thickly proportioned as any human in the world.

Despite towering over everyone in the room, he completely lacks the sense of confidence and power that such stature often lends itself to, instead he seems something more like a mastiff puppy that has been kicked a few times, suddenly put in a dog show with small and sleek purebreds.

That is not to say that he is unattractive. He is. His features on a smaller, less brutish man would be striking. His eyes, cheekbones and lips are somehow soft in their curves, a strange touch of grace that seems out of place on a body that is almost unbelievably, perhaps even comically, masculine.

His clothes are new and expertly made but the cloth is common and the suit a few years out of fashion. He is out of place here and seems painfully aware of it, speaking only when spoken to and going out of his way to be careful of his surroundings, moving slowly and carefully as if worried he might break anything that comes near him.

crunch and other things

Spoiler:

Raxus is a barbarian and I plan on keeping him that way. I don't see any multiclassing or prestige classing in his future.

He's a heavy-hitting melee front-liner. Eventually he'll have a mount, making him very mobile. Since he's a Striker style build using Charging with a big weapon as his primary attack, he's not going to be very good at defending the party (other than painting himself as a big target) He's likely going to need a lot of healing (low AC, at least at the moment) and his will save is painfully low, so he really needs caster support. I tried to work that weak-willed characteristic into his personality, so I'll likely find one of you to latch onto for guidance.

Whatever mount he ends up with will likely be big enough for an extra person, so having a ranged person (mr gunslinger?) or a healer (mr cleric?) to ride around with would work well.

He has a number of purposeful mechanical flaws that I put in there to facilitate team-play and party dependance. Heavy damage characters can sometimes overshadow other characters, and I wanted to try to make a heavy damage character who would not have that problem. Think of Raxus as the party's attack dog. If you support him and point him at something he will completely obliterate it. (at least that's the plan)

Meta, or "how we do things here"

Spoiler:

I'm not sure what experiences the rest of the group has had in PbPs before, but personally I've had the most fun in games where the IC thread read like a novel, with everyone agreeing on the tense (past or present) and trying to avoid using theme-breaking conventions. (an example I've seen a few times is for someone to type

@Winterflower: "Hey toots" (or something similar)

instead of

Raxus says to Winterflower, "What's shakin'?"

when addressing another player. This always jars me a bit and I'd like to ask if it would be ok to avoid it. I hope it doesn't make me come off as an elitist jerk to say that I really, really hate "text-speak" in my PbPs.

I'll conform to whatever writing style the GM sets as an example. From what I've seen so far everyone writes well (I think I'm really going to enjoy playing with you folks) I just wanted to bring it up so we can talk about it and get everyone on the same page.

Potential other members

Spoiler:

My vote is for the Beast Rider cavalier and the Druid. We're going into the wilderness. Raxus will likely have some kind of bestial mount later as well. I like the idea of a crazy menagerie of beasts.

Other than that, I'm with Thalia on the Void Touched Sorcerer.


Crunch Changes to Thalia

Lingering Performance is now Eschew Materials

Grease (DC 15) was traded for Timely Inspiration.

Also, question about the intro, are we free to add a +1 for the sake of our character? I will likely stew on my entry for a while, and make it in "Word" so as not to lose anything.

Liberty's Edge

I haven't created my profile yet, but I will later tonight. All of a sudden the last two days I'm having trouble with Paizo's site at work. It's not blocked, but takes a very long time to load, and this rather difficult to do from my phone. My email is shaundakulprg@gmail.com

I'm using google docs in the game I'm hosting. You actually have the option of making the docs available by link, so you don't necessarily need everyone's email address. DM Keddah I do want to ask a couple of questions offline if you can email me.

The IC thread is open for everyone to post. I do use "Word" myself to avoid losing my well thought posts ;).That said, I'd like to keep it free of OOC but for combat encounters and other rolls.

Welcome to the game, hope you enjoy it.

You can email me whenever you want! I saw the "sharing by link" a few minutes ago after having some trouble in the other thread so will be using that option. But anyway having an e-mail account may make it easier for you to contact me or the other way around.

I'm curious about which time zones are we in. I'm at GMT +1 in Spain


Male Half-Elf Fighter(Tactician)

Here is Cyean ready to go. Sorry about late post class again than errands. I am in est. Will have the other post you want up in a bit. Also thanks for letting me in the game.


Currently at GMT -8 in six weeks I'll be at GMT +1 as well. Can't wait.

GMT -8 here, but I keep kinda funny hours so my time zone isn't always a good indicator of when I'll be posting.

In my intro post above I put a spoiler titles Meta up that talks a bit about writing/posting styles. If you haven't read it, please do. I've found that discussing those things makes for a better PbP experience.

Keddah, have you made a ruling regarding Raxus' dogs yet?


Male Half-Elf Fighter(Tactician)

I will post the same way I post Kaavel, Doc if that is alright.


I pretty much assumed we were going with the standard italics for thoughts, and bold for speech.

Ah, since a lot of us have different languages, how do we want to handle that in game? I've seen a lot of games use babblefish to, in my opinion, shat up the board with a bunch of gobbledy gook and then put the "translation" in spoilers if you have the language and are a party to the conversation. I really don't like this. I prefer to note and trust people not to meta when I write in english, for example:

Elven "That balloon is red, I wonder why the King said it was blue." /Elven

but i'll go with group consensus on this issue.

Heh. Sounds good to me. (I'd accuse you of stalking me except that I was one of the ones who voted you in. :) Not that I knew it was you at the time)

Oh, yeah, that wasn't really what I was talking about. I was mostly talking about whether we wanted to use past tense (like a novel) or present tense (like a movie script or a comic book)

Ah, since a lot of us have different languages, how do we want to handle that in game?

I've always liked it when weird languages are put in spoilers that the people who speak those languages can just click on. It does put a big spoiler tag in the middle of the description, but I've learned to live with it. It hasn't really come up often enough in the games I've been in for me to really form an opinion on it. I think your way could work fine too though. I'll go with whatever the group wants on that issue.

Huh... I tend to use present tense when posting, as it puts me "in the scene" I suppose. I guess I do it unconsciously, really, so as not to confuse myself.

I don't really like flashbacks, coz they confuse me, and will put such things in spoilers. Not that you aren't free to read it, of course, but I don't want to say, have 5-7 paragraphs of leading up to the moment, and then one small paragraph of introduction at the end, and leave you guys wondering what the heck you just read, and how to react to it.

But, very good point there.

And yeah, I can do the "weird" languages spoilered in English at the bottom. No problemo.


Male Taldan Magical Engineer/1 hp 7/7; AC 14/10/14

I agree with the use of present tense. I think that it lends to the flow of time within the campaign. As for flashbacks, I think they have their place, but its best for only the DM to use them to help set the tone as a narrative device.

I am still at work for the moment, so I will jam in a couple of hours. I am at GMT-10.


Male Half-Elf Fighter(Tactician)

Cyean walks into the room proudly. He is wearing the clothes that Theodric had gotten for him so he may impress any nobles or such people he might meet. He was wearing blue bliauds and blue trousers covering his bliaud was a white and blue surcoat that had the Taldan White Lion displayed proudly to show any that he was of Taldan blood. On his back was a gray cloak that trimmed with wolf's fur which was pinned to him by silver brooches at the shoulder. He thinks to himself ”That will show them I am not just a nobody that they can forget.” Once any who have taken in what he is wearing they will notice he is a taller man that seems to be made of lean muscle. His skin tone is a light tan , his hair is light brown that goes to his shoulders but the most odd thing about him is the violet color eyes that he has. From the way he walks to how he holds himself any could tell that this man was a warrior.

As he walks he notices what he believes to be his allies for the trip. He walks up to them as he takes each of them in. When looking at the woman he laughs slightly to himself while thinking ”Freedom.” next he sees the massive man he thinks ”Warrior.” lastly he sees a man in a dusty coat and gun thinking ”Hunter.” Once done with each he thinks to himself ”Well they seem like a nice group.” When he reaches the group he bows to the woman saying ”It is an honor milady. “ Once done he stands straight looks at the massive man saluting him than says ”It is an honor to meet such a warrior.” He finally turns to the man with the gun saying ”So hunter what game have you been after?” With that done he says ”I am Cyean Gurov, a knight. How are all of you?”

Spoilers are just there to save space if it does not have a name anyone is free to look at them.

Game:

What I want from the game to be honest is to just have some fun. I really like games that people play to have fun instead of play to just try to out do each other. I do though want to travel a lot in the game. Get a chance to talk to a lot of npcs or fight wars with tribes of monsters that do not want to talk with us. Also making a kingdom is something I always wanted to do in a rpg. Start as no ones and go all the way to kings and queens of a kingdom you made using your blood sweat and tears to make.

Character:

Well Cyean is going to be a beast rider / gendarme cavalier for the first few levels. I am than going to take a few levels of fighter so I can get the idea I have for the character done. The idea is a heavy armored knight on a unique mount. As for which mount I would like to try to get a white lion the same animal as the symbol of Taldor. I know this might not be possible but hey it is what he is working towards. The gendarme archetype might seems to tell people just a mounted character but this is not all Cyean will be. I am going to play him as both a mounted and un-mounted combatant this is another reason I took beast rider. The mount I will get at level four and higher will be a flanking buddy for the group as well being a extra melee damager. These tactics will switch depending on the fight and what I think would best suit everyone.

Meta Stuff:

I normally see use spoilers for different languages. I think it just makes it easier but that is me. I have no issue with anything else that was said though.

DM Keddah:

Now there is a slight problem with my character idea. Since I am going to take a few levels of fighter it is going to lower how effective my mount will be. There is a feat in Ultimate Combat however that lets players get around this it is called. Horse Master. Here is what it does. Horse Master
Now the problem is the feat states that I need Expert trainer class feature which is replaced because of my beast rider archetype. The replacement however is what allows me to use different animals. I was wondering if you would allow me to take this feat and let it work even though I do not have expert trainer but I do have the ability that replaced it. This is not something new the designers did something similar with the infiltrator archetype for ranger. It gives up favored terrain for adaptions. This normally would not allow infiltrator rangers to use hide in plain sight but they changed it to allow them to use this ability while using their adaptions. If you do not want to allow me I understand thought I would ask and put some evidence about what I am asking instead of just asking.


Huh, I just saw the spoilers in your earlier post, Raxus. Sometimes Paizo just doesn't let me see edits unless I completely shut firefox down and reload it. Sorry I did not respond to them in kind.

I've been working on an introductory post for hours now. I know I will have to take a break in a while and address my own game, but... yeah, as any novel, introduction sets the tone for the character, and that's pretty much the sort of effort I put into each of mine. But this one especially, since we're going to be so free.

I am very excited about this game.

Oh, and if you read the spoiler, that's about as close to implying the pursuit of Thalia's profession as I'll ever get. I doubt that it will be an issue in game unless one of you fellows wishes to make an issue as in a romantic interest in her. Know that she is, essentially, a priestess of Calistria, however, and all that implies.


About the hounds:
I'll defer to the group vote, it gives you an important edge at low levels but if you roleplay the relationship with the dogs I don't see a problem. If everybody agrees I think we can work on it (I expect this campaign no to be too combat oriented so rules may be... adaptable)

About the Horse Master feat:
I'll allow it, but you'll have to meet the other prerequisite (Ride 6 ranks) and reach Cavalier level 4 (When you'd get the expert trainer class feature) before taking it

About the writing:
. I personally favour present tense too, the usual Bold for talk, Italics for thoughts, Bigger for shouting, Smaller for whispering, and spoilers with the language name for things said in a language other than common. I have a question, how would you prefer that I refer to the party? As you or as they? And I hate @anybodys... I don't think "writing says X to Y" is so much effort

Raxus:
Will you be CG or CN finally?

About the spoilers:
If somebody decides to do something behind the rest of the party's back, can I trust you not to read spoilers directed to just a player or just me? Or would you prefer not to be tempted, in that case I'd use e-mail to conduct such endeavours


I'm waiting for Toanga to show up before letting Irovetti make his glorious appearance. And I'm enjoying your roleplaying at the same time!


How did I miss Minkam's contribution earlier? Goodness me.

Question my fellow adventurers, do we want to put our various skill rolls behind spoilers when we're circling each other's behinds like this, so as to make things slightly less... dare I say "ugly?"

Also it's not like we can tell that we're surveying each other just by our interactions unless we specifically state that in our narratives.

As a GM I have this instinct to keep things looking as neat and orderly as possible and... I suppose it helps immersion for me not to read a bit of text, then be slammed with a bunch of die rolls and then more text.


Male Half-Elf Fighter(Tactician)

I put my rolls before or after the text but I can put them in spoilers if you want.


I'm going over your character sheets, I'll let you know if I find something off... or that I think is off

Cyean:
Your greatsword should have a +6 to damage shouldn't it? (+4 for strength, +2 for half strength)

Male Half-Elf Fighter(Tactician)

DM Keddah:

I switched my attack roll and damage roll fixed it and added the lance damage. I will have how much money I have up later been busy with class. Thanks for letting me take the horse master feat I did not plan on taking it until level 6 because that would be about the time I will have 2 levels of fighter.


Finally finished my character sheet. I am GMT-7. That will change by an hour once daylight savings changes.


Sorry, I've been trying to get a post copied over from Word since Thalia introduced herself. For some reason this is causing problems. Plus, I only seem to be seeing the first half of most of the posts. Strangely, this is only happening in this thread. Give me a little more time to work out the kinks. Sorry about this.

I'm posting EST (GMT -5).


I will sorting out the character sheet in the desired format as soon as possible.

I am enjoying the introduction.


Take your time with the character sheets. As I said I intend this game to be very roleplay heavy so the introduction can go on for a long time as long as you all are enjoying it. And of course you're enjoying it, it's perfectly fitted for the "Winterflower" *wink* We'll have to see how she fares in the wilderness. By the way, you're all free to try to socialize with the upstarts or find out about your quests. As I said I want you to be proactive :D

Sorting out sheet format will take me a little time. I'm slammed until monday. I'll have time for a post tonight, but probably not for a technical rework.

A question for you religious characters for later-

Raxus has the Birthmark trait, which normally allows him to use himself as a divine focus. I thought it would be interesting if other people could use him as a divine focus.

Right now Shelyn is worked into his backstory, but that might be able to be changed to another god with some similar themes, or, if one of you is willing to change your devotion to Shelyn, that works too. Or, he might just be some kind of universal divine conduit (for some reason that Keddah can work out later)


Yes, well, she has to shine somewhere. I am actually quite looking forward to her first foray into the wilderness. *laughs*


I'd like to know if anyone would get offended if during the course of the game you were to encounter any of the following.

Foul language
Very foul language
Verbal violence
Graphic violence
Sex or acts of sexual nature
Any other thing that may offend you

I often represent my bad guys as being outside the social norms engaging in behaviours like those, and this may be offending for some players. If it will be, please tell me so I can avoid it or minimize it. I understand people have very strong feelings about some of these things and will not think less of anybody for feeling unconfortable with them in a game.


Male Half-Elf Fighter(Tactician)

As long as there is no rape or hurting little kids I am cool. Well unless it done tactfully to make us really hate the bad guys and not used much.


Nope to most of the above. I curse like a sailor and I am very aware that I have built a highly erotic/sexual character when I sank a rank into profession (Courtesan). I prefer an adult game as long as long as it's not abused, I suppose, or makes anyone else uncomfy.

Oh, well, one thing I have issue with is the four letter word that starts with "R" and means forcible or coerced assault. Don't like seeing it in histories, don't like seeing it in games. I know bad guys are bad guys, and it can be implied, but I don't want to be stumbling into a cabal of "R-ists" and their victims splayed all about. Not my thing.

Would you like us to post the updated character sheets in our profile or email them to you?


I don't think I could represent rape in a correct way so it's something you shouldn't worry about. The hurting of little kids may come to happen but not in a graphic way.

Just post them on your profiles, then I will have access to them even when I don't have the time to go check my email.


Roger Duck Dodger.

I love using intelligence to puzzle things out that Sense Motive checks make you fail at. HAaaaaa, to be a bard is a good thing. :P


Well I'll be going to sleep now... it's 1 AM here! I hope you've are all enjoying the game so far as much as I am. Oh and "Winterflower" I sometimes (not in the blind old man case) just create a mistery without knowing the answer and let the players ideas do it for me, in my ten years of DMing I've learned it makes for an enjoyable experience. So I will always have a big smile if you share your complex thoughts with your humble DM

I'd like to know if anyone would get offended if during the course of the game you were to encounter any of the following.

Foul language
Very foul language
Verbal violence
Graphic violence
Sex or acts of sexual nature
Any other thing that may offend you

I think of this sort of things as being similar to the difference between art and pornography. One is exploitative and without internal worth, the other isn't.

It's all in how it's handled. My favorite setting is Midnight, which is about as dark as it gets before becoming trite. I'm comfortable with anything as long as it has purpose and is handled with appropriate respect.


You'd really have to try hard to offend me, so no worries.

Really?

Challenge accepted.

R- is right out. I have known too many people affected. Pretty much everything else (other than violence to children) can be done if done in proper concert with the story and not simply to wallow in all things vile and evil.

Um. Mikam is sitting at the table in plain view. He simply slid into his chair unobtrusively, such that the wouldn't interrupt the ongoing conversation.


yeah, mikam, getting back to you. Seems like Raxus and I are the only ones that are really active at present. Kinda wondering where Toanga is, was really looking forward to him balancing us out in weirdness :P

Also, in the KM game I'm running I have found that it is hard to really curse, because though it flows off the fingertips naturally onto the keyboard, the forums filter it into so much gobldey gook.

Which can be annoying. So i took to using {explative} if I wanted to get colorful. I dunno. I like the paizo site for most stuff, but if you want to have an adult game, the site itself is a limiting factor.

What do ya'll think about the avatar, btw? I really dislike the tattoos on the face, but it was the closest representation I could find to Thalia...

Heh. I caught that, but unfortunately my character isn't one to talk much yet.

Sorry if Thalia and I are playing post ping-pong right now. I'm just bored at work and had the time. This won't be normal I swear. I figure the faster we get Raxus past the "uncomfortable barbarian" stage the better.

Since you've been watching the knight and the bug lady talk a bit, might it be time to speak up?

If someone doesn't talk to you soon I'll have Raxus do it (with typical grace and poise) as soon as Thalia drags him back to the table.

I do like the avatar. And no I am not worried about the ping-pong, just that Cyean said that he and Felina were the only two at the table.

Mikam has probably finished off his wine by now and will be looking for a refill shortly...I got sidetracked by a bunch of dogs that wanted to go on a walk and had to postpone my post.


Good night, fellow neutral adventurers (think the beginning managed to communicate that thalia's current intentions towards Raxus are selfish enough not to be considered "good").

Hope that Toanga and the big game hunter show up soon.

I've got a 15 hour day ahead of me tomorrow, so I won't be able to keep up my normal posting rate until friday.


Off to bed. I'm glad this is getting off to a good start.

Yeah Cyean does not pay attention to people unless they say hi or they doubt themselves or someone trying to get their attention. Which normally is a lot of people but Mikam just tried to sneak in quiet.


Gosh darn. I totally had the coolest use for prestidigitation ever, and I don't actually have the spell with this bard. What was I thinking?
