I don't suppose I can roll perception?
Also, is there any loose dirt nearby he can burrow into?
Perception would be fine.
The stairwell, floors, and walls are all stone. There might be the opportunity if entire wall sections start collapsing.
Rejoice! The Holiday page is done, at least to the extent that I am not planning on updating it again after this latest round of additions.

Huzzah! I'm rejoicing!
I think it will be more fun if I announce it instead of making it a "surprise" - you are meeting the other table right now. For convenience sake, I'm going to have everyone post in the "A New Beginning" thread.
Feel free to describe your character in your first post, since the others haven't seen your character before.
I'm up against a deadline, I'll have a post up tomorrow morning (EST).
Thanks for letting us know!
Minor update:
The link that used to be called "The War" has been updated to "Summary of the 3 Eras", and goes into a little more detail about the ancient history of the land.
It follows the same structure as the History spreadsheet.
Honestly though, I do most of this extra stuff for myself I think :)

I read it on occasion. :)

I am in a new and strange place... And I have poked it :)
I was offered a glass and this is what happened!
Also please don't hate Kallik I swear she is normally much better behaved.
I will wait to post till I have a vote from you two but I was chatting with our lovely GM and I have found something that fits Kallik rather well but like all the things I like it has a drawback. The Wild Rager thematically is one of my favorite barbarian archetypes and it fits what is happening to Kallik very well but the confusion means I attack whoever is closest to me, including buddies. I get to make saves each round to end it though. Thematically it has great RP potential but our lovely GM agrees that I should mention it here and if it is too much in game we will lessen the effects.
I have no issue with that. I'm also glad I didn't have to melt your face off just now, so there is that too. Inam will probably try to hug it out if you attack her, so be prepared for that. :D
Also remember Inam isn't likely going to see this post if she was one of the two you were referencing. If it was Fiordelise then disregard!
No this was for you and our lovely Fiordelise. Though I did post it in the other games discussion.
Oh that's fine, I'll just play along.
Yay! I have never actually had the chance to play a rage monster before. This is a strange headspace to crawl into.
What is everyone's holiday plans? I'll be unavailable the 23rd - the 26th, back online on the 27th (or maybe the evening of the 26th).
Free periodically over the holidays to at least post from phone if necessary.
I'll likely be around albeit at somewhat erratic times.
I am helping friends moved tomorrow so very sporadically I might be able to post. Sunday is an unknown probably more moving since I doubt they are really all that pack up. And monday I have a lot more time monday. So we can all randomly poke at each other.
Hope you are in a place without snow. Moving in winter sucks.
Ice and power outages are way more common than snow. Which sucks.
Ok, crossover is done for now :)
I updated the Campaign Page so that you all should only get notifications for your original Gameplay thread now.
I have to admit, as interesting as that was, eight characters was really hard to follow.
Agreed. Very fun for a bit, and now it's good to be back to four.
If it wasn't clear, Odebie is after why the steam vanished and the mephits appeared, as well as who built the complex under the statue. Tracking down a bunch of sylphs who's only identifying feature is extensive scarring isn't going to move very quickly, and I figure the Temple has better ways of doing that in the first place. Plus there's the much larger question of who in their right mind used the Darkspawn as a trap, and are there any more of them lying around.
Added a "Temple District" entry to the "Map and Cities" heading on the Campaign page. Eventually I'll have one for all the districts of Hearth.
So out of curiosity, what is everyone planning to do for the remainder of the day? It's a little after thirteenth candle.
--Helping with the mephit hunt?
--Attending to your own business?
Byron is willing to help with the mephits until his bombs run out, though he'd appreciate someone patching him up a bit before doing so.
It's safe to say that the Watch has a handful of healing adepts. There's four heals to go around, and since Osric doesn't need one:
Osric will let younger men deal with the mephit hunt, and he will do what he's better at. He'll go to the temple library and try to find out any additional information he can on mephits, extra-planar entities, and enslaved efreet.
Are you name-dropping your association with Ky La, like Odebie instructed his privates to do?
No, I would prefer to be discreet about it. I assume I'm recognized from my years of frequenting the place for investigations and the recent notoriety gain from the V'Manco affair.
At this point Odebie would really like a nap and a meal fit for four, but he'll go out and help with the mephits.
Fi will go aid with the mephits.
k, everyone update their HP according to the healing a few posts up, and I'll update later tonight.
SON OF A... this alley doesn't happen to have a dirt floor, does it?
It does!
Maybe see if I can put that burrow speed to use then.
You were planning on spending your whole turn moving, correct? If you'd like, you could burrow for your remaining movement after you face-plant in the snow.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
That'd do. I suppose for a falling oread it's instictive, like a cat landing on its feet. Or Wiley E. Coyote slamming into the desert.
Well at least I'm not wasting bombs on these attack rolls.
Osric, come evening are you going back to your home to sleep, or staying at the library and sleeping at a desk?
As far as he knows, there's no imminent threat that might be stalking him, so he would feel safe going home. Clearly there's going to be some difficult times ahead, and he needs proper rest.
Sounds good. What is Osric's plan for tomorrow? More research or brain-storming about what a viable "power source" for the wards could be? Meet with Ky La? Talk with other members of the group?
(overall this seems like a natural time for you all to do your own thing for a bit, since there is a threat but you can't directly defeat the mephits through combat right now)
Yeah, all of those things. I'm sure Ky La has some ideas as well.
Depending on what the developments are with that talking stick, I may need to look into that.
(not sure if Odebie actually told anyone about that)
He hadn't yet, since he hasn't had time since he found it to try and make it talk again.
Osric isn't there anyway. I'm assuming that this information will get shared by some time tomorrow, and at that point, it would probably make the top of Osric's list.
While you are all thinking about what you'd like to do (individually or as a group) tomorrow, here's a list of things that might be on your characters' minds:
OSRIC
Ky La meeting about mephits, steam, planar stuff
Fixing wards, power source
altar, "LN"
BYRON
Ky La meeting about white obsidian
is this marble still active? how much ruby solution left?
access to ingredients after ruby solution runs out?
Continue white obsidian experiments
Helen Instra? Maybe she just forgot about you?
Who killed Eldon's mentor?
ODEBIE
Dove's anger toward Ky La. Who was "she"? (do not say her name!)
What was happening with the undine and the ifrit? Why were they bleeding?
What happened with the Staff? who are you telling about it, and how much?
Will you be attending the meeting of captains tomorrow?
FI
Helping Karina and Enzo
New deals and allies for house Incarna perhaps?
Using your fame?
What has Isabella been up to?
How long since you've seen Elfie?
