Volcano's Land - A New Beginning

Game Master Miner Cotren

Kallik, hunk of wood with the names burned into it definitely works. Let's say that was another 5 gold to have the work done.

After funeral and other services, chat with Culkin and check out that armor, though Inam may be best suited for that from a crafting perspective.

Sounds good Ibinu!

So everyone can feel free to RP the pre-funeral more today if you wish. Either way, I'll plan on updating later tonight with the current scene, then the lighting ceremony.

so 305 gold for all my stuff?

Also I am ok with doing the occasional politics side quest since they wanted to keep Kallik. Not something I have ever really done before.

Yep, 305 gold total for you.

I think the way we'll handle politics is with private messages. One player each 'morning' can elect to go (or you can all decline). I'll continue the morning's politics completely separate from the main thread, so the players can all continue with their day.

Sorry for my delay.

Yesterday was...rough. On top of the BS of dealing with unsavory coworkers...had a few calls that...reopened old wounds.

Today is going to be better! Positive Attitudes!!! :-D

I'm not hung-over and I made it to work on time. That's a good start. lol

Sounds terrible. Thanks for the update, as always!

Kallik - I'm going to have us continue the tree RP through private messaging, so you can re-join the conversation at the end of the day with Ibinu and Inam.

I haven't received a private message since they changed the sight, so I'm not sure how obvious it is that one has a received a message nowadays.

You get an itty bitty red dot on the human-ish emblem where it says "My Account" at the top of the page.

Planes: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11
Perception: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 2 = 29 The plus to is for touching the blade but I go you message. It will not let me roll dice so I will do that here.

Also Inam you are awesome!

1) Kallik and Inam - for expediency, do you want to say somewhere along the line you approached someone about being your proxy?

--Antioco would be a good representative of the Warrior.

--You guys were awfully busy, so you didn't notice - Ly Van, who was Bian's mentor, is dead. He suddenly got much worse, perhaps succumbing to corrupted wounds, and died in the night. With Ly Van gone, Bian has renounced her own inquisitorship (which makes Agazi truly the last known inquisitor). Bian would agree to be Kallik's proxy (or Kallik can stay in if you want!)

2) Are all of you planning on attending the Captain's nomination tomorrow?

I swear I'm not trying to pull us into more politics :) It can just be done out of character on Discussion right quick, or we can RP a bit of it. I think that would officially end any council meeting attendance (which I'm fine with too) except really important things.

There - that was my attempt to simplify things with a long rambling post!

Ibinu will be there for the nomination, that's a big deal. I'll do it however it is done, RP or Discussion.

Bian would be Kallik's choice and she would be willing to attend when she is able. And be very likely to just show up even if Bian is there.

Alsocharisma: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

So my thought is: "group" can finish their evening chat over today and tomorrow. Then we can start the shared "tomorrow morning's Captain nomination scene" over the weekend.

I'm planning on updating the current scene tonight.

I have been ill this weekend and it severely affected my ability to post.

I will get a post up today.

Hope you're feeling better Inam! Don't push yourself to post if you are still feeling awful.

Friendly reminder to everyone - it's a new day, so double check HP, temp conditions, etc.

Kallik: When you get a chance, please update your tagline. I haven't checked your sheet lately, so please confirm that is up to date as well.

So if you check my profile I did that, I thought so. But for some reason it will not use what is on the header on my profile when I post.

Also I apologize. I have been basically a koala Koala part starts around 3:30 ish.

Koala's in the raaaain...

Yep! Also I had apparently updated the header except for one or two lines and did not notice it. But it is fixed. Yeah I'm a koala :)

Thanks for the update! Also, that koala is hilarious!

Poor koalas.

All of his stuff is! The sad cat and dog diaries are brilliant!

I hope you're feeling well enough to post tonight Inam - I'd love to see your response to Agazi...

Woke up feeling amazing today!

Just got home from helping my father remove a transmission from sister's truck. Getting kids sorted as..guess what...Wife seems to be feeling under the weather now....oops?

Will catch up and get something posted in a bit.

Oooh such a specific spell! I was only expecting...

"Yep, this blade killed So Khong. Lol

I liked it! Always one to impress :)

Also Inam you deserve all the cuddles!

Pass up a chance for a fancy murder spell? Never!

I may steal it :)

Minor point of continuity:

I sincerely doubt anyone has paid attention to the dates between the New Beginning thread and the Home and Hearth thread, but their "two week break" only lasted a week, so the dates were slightly off. You met on "the 9th" by your calendar and I think "the first" on their calendar. I've updated the Home and Hearth document to show that it happened on the ninth in both continuities.

It is extremely important that this arbitrary thing is correct!

As long as it doesn't effect my earnings from spell-casting services, I'm more than happy to not worry about said arbitrary thing. :P

By the way, I have been noticing the dates and it is sinking in subconsciously at least... so no reason to stop!

I never question what the GM calls important. In the game I am running the dates actually matter so I get it. I for one am really bad at keeping track of that though. Poor choice on my part now that I think about it.

We're tracking dates? Uh-oh. I mean... yes, of course!

Well I am at any rate :) Whether you or your characters do, well...that's up to you.

I'll write a little speech for both the remaining nominees later tonight. Tuck in the kiddos, teach a class, and I'll be good to go.

Breathe a sigh of relief, Ibinu! That should be it for politics for the time being (excepting those who wish to attend the meetings voluntarily of course)

Wohoo!

I hated it less this time but still have little interest in that aspect as we continue, thanks for understanding!

I fine with doing the politics stuff occasionally.

Inam and Agazi, I know we probably mentioned this before, but let me know if you will occasionally be going to meetings or if you are avoiding them entirely.

I'd be willing to go if it made sense narratively, but I don't want to drag things down.

I'm good with Antioco being my proxy.

As with Agazi, if it's something thematically important for me to go to, I'm willing. If it's something Antioco can handle, I'd rather leave it to him.

'Favoriting' Agazi's last post seems an odd thing for me to do, as it was repulsive, but it was very well done and appropriate!

I am way to tired do give that the reply it deserves. That was a really strange read. But as I am a koala due to not sleeping and kind of resemble a panda, pale skin from working nights and dark circles under my eyes, I'm gonna sleep on that one.

Remember allies, you get +4 bonus vs the save. lol

I...I just...did you swear allegiance to me? You may have just broke Inam... I'm gonna have to give this some thought.

Agazi, are you actually doing a Blistering Invective against everyone in the room or was that just part of the wording used?

Also, I'm quite happy I did not respond last night. Upon re-reading and seeing Inam's post I caught a few things I had missed. I'll be waiting for her response though, since said pledge was aimed at her.

The AoE was definitely a Blistering Invective spell, and he spent a spell slot and everything. I would hesitate to say we're in combat since he is unconscious, but it was certainly a hostile effect.

I'm pretty sure the DC for Agazi's spell is 14, so you are not on fire Ibinu. Inam doesn't take fire damage or catch on fire as she is immune to the demoralization.

Yeah, it's actually the effect, but it's not exactly voluntary. He's had a problem for a while where he has a seizure and looses control of his words, body, and mind. He really does mean you no harm, but things sometimes happen. The other inquisitors considered it a perk!

Edit: Oops. I forgot about the fire damage I would be causing. In my mind, BI was just a way to deliver AoE fear. Sorry about that!

Ah, being that spell, I wouldn't be immune either. Will roll a save her in a bit.

Aren't pallies immune to all manner of fear, magic and mundane?

There's gotta be a story arc for a paladin somewhere in there for someone. For a normal person, that would be considered a crippling mental illness.
