This is the first time I play an evil character in a non-evil-only party. I must say it's quite fun, no backstabbing your partymembers. Still looking for an opportunity to show his evilness (beside his evil mood).
uh...mesa evil too! Mwah hah hah!...real nasty evil...kicks them when they are down evil! Bites their fingers and steal their pouches evil...but never hurts friends kind of evil...friends protects us and helps us get mucho richy rich!
Well, I was going to say, instead of being an evil guy pretending to be a goody goody douchebag, I could just make him an actual pld and actually be a goody goody douchebag. But I can't team up with evil guys then. :)
of course you can, you just be one with a very bad perception of who's actually good or evil. we'll buy some lead sheets for that detect evil slander.

Ah, good ol' lawful stupid. Reminds me of a character I played back during AD and D. I wanted to play a pally, but that was when it was like straight 3d6 per abiilty score, and you needed preposterous scores to be a paladin.
So enter Blaine Goodheart. The 6 int fighter who was so stupid he didn't even realize he wasn't a paladin. Poor guy.
Aha! I got it! Oath Against Undeath removes his ability to detect evil. I just drop his int and wis lower, raise his physical stats a bit, and just make him too dumb to realize the evil party members are evil.
Problem solved. I'll update today or tomorrow.
sounds like a winner Sir Loric. Now Lorn and Joboo will just have to make sure they dont do anything untowards in your sight.

My, you certainly are large-headed for a gnome, friend.
However you'd like to re-work him would be fine.
Remember that he only go a brief amount of screen time, and the entire "bad guy pretending (badly) to be good" thing might have just been his gladiator persona. In "real life" he might be a perfectly nice guy.
Face Turn!

Booyaa!!!
Big head means big brains! and mesa got mucho big brains.

See?...no echo. Skull full of big brains.

i think im going to play him as more like the tick / don quixote, and less like gilderoy lockheart. :)
I am ready to smite all kinds of evil now!!!!! Awww, yeah!!!!!
What's going on folks? Game's been dead. Did I miss something?
I was waiting for the others to post the rounds actions. I realize now that I never checked Joboo off the map counter though. Havent heard from some people in 2 weeks or so.
I'm still here, but not sure what else I can do at this point. Joboo was attempting to stop the platform from coming down so we can look at the statues more.
I'm still here, too, but if I jump down it will hinder the group more than help, so I'm chilling up at the top.
Id bet that youd be more help than hindrance. We need several people to push the rods around and raise the floors while the others figure out the idol trap.
I feel like Joboo has a good handle on how everything works, but there may be some folks that are confused, either in or out of character.
Some question/answer role-play may be in order.
loric is dumb and has terrible perception. i was waiting for a little direction, and ryujin provided it. :)
Loric, it doesn't quite look/work the way you think it does. That might be my fault.
Just in case anyone else is confused about the layout, here's what has been revealed so far-
Imagine looking at a Screw with three nuts on it. Those nuts are slowly rotating down (those are the three floors)
There are six rods coming in from the sides. These rods could be used to block the floors from falling to far, or to brace against, giving someone a point of leverage to walk the opposite direction of the rotations and raise the floors (think like the Great Wheel at the beginning of the old Conan, except Arnie's staying in one place and the floor is moving beneath his feet)
If three (or more) people can raise the floors up enough, a few others could try to figure out how to retrieve the idol.
Any questions? You guys are almost there.
Oh ok. So assuming lefty/loosey righty/tighty holds, the floor i am on should be rotating clockwise as it slowly moves down to crush the people on "floor 2". So if i stand "down turn", so to speak, and grab the bar, Loric can walk counterclockwise, pushing up against the bar, almost like a treadmill and try to slow down or reverse the turn?
If I have that right, he will do so, and I'll also probably suggest to GWWWR to do the same thing on the next floor down. :)
You have it right.
There's a matter of a Strenght check (DC15) to move the floor, and what you're wearing on your feet. There's a *lot* of caltrops on the ground.
Game's been dead lately.
Role call. Who's still here?
present and waiting for the next round. not sure whos up or even still here either...
Still here and waiting for the next round.
Let's start the next round then. Anyone who missed last round can speak up.
I'm still here, waiting at the top to assist others.
Ok, I have an idea taht will speed things up.
Combat rounds were primarily a means of tracking time and rates of descent. That's practically a moot point now. The bottom is as low as it can go and you've discovered the means of raising and lowering the platforms.
Let's break out of combat rounds and do the rest as a more free-form scene.
Take it away folks.
I'm closing this down folks. No posts since Tuesday from anyone shows me the momentum has died.
Oh well. Thanks for the fun.
Damn! I posted! but it was lonely. Completely understandable for closing it down.
Thanks for the opportunity to play Joboo DM Doomed Hero.
Thanks DMDH, it's been fun
Thank you DMDH. I wish we could have kept the momentum that this started with. I had fun with Ryujin's brief career!
You guys were great. If I start up another one I'll give you a heads up. In gaming, nepotism goes a long way with me. :)
What? Noooo! I thought this game was actually going somewhere!
I hope I didn't forget to mention my vacation here, I think I posted about it in all my PBPs.
:(
Anyway, let me know if Lorn can get into more action in this city. Loved it!
Warning: I'll be on vacation from august 1st - august 18 or so. I might be able to post in between, but not as often as now. If needed someone else can decide which actions Lorn will take.
seems I did announce it but it doesn't matter anymore unfortunately.
