Welcome to the Other Side!

Game Master Yasss Queen

Also Monkeygod is officially GM now!

*Hands the reins over*

Let's give him a round of applause as a new episode of this game begins!

(applause)
Episode two: Several demigods walk into a bar..

Nah, how about:
Liriiestil Strikes Back
or
The Twin GM's

An epic title for an epic adventure.

I'm sorry guys I didn't mean to leave you hanging, what can I do to smooth the transition? Sorry about not posting about the inn or info.

I don't know how long this break will last but I'll be following along and posting as much as I can.

While I really hope you will all stay and enjoy Monkeygod's adventure if any players drop out I'll give you a PM when I am back to invite you to join back up.

Yaas, if you could do a wrap up scene with the two guards, and then moving us to the inn/tavern, that would be ideal, especially since a couple of us asked the guard I charmed about an upscale location. Including a description of said inn would be awesome, but I understand if that's too much atm.

To help speed things up, here's a Diplomacy roll to get us rooms and service wherever we end up: 1d20 + 57 ⇒ (18) + 57 = 75

Yeah, I'm sorry I thought I'd have a bit of time today but it's not turning out that way. Feel free to create whatever type of Inn you would like, Al'Lamar is yours to create and add to, as I subscribe to the whole idea that nothing is cannon until written.

Unfortunately you shouldn't wait on me right now, things are too touch and go.

Alternatively it seems the players have already moved on to an Inn, it can be fun getting narration help from them if you are having a hard time starting up your adventure.

Alyssa, the sense ability feature is kinda confusing.

It says the DC is 10 + the level at which the targeted character gained this ability + how many rounds they've been sensing.

The bold part is what's confusing, or at least part of it.

It sounds like it's referring to the level your target gained a particular ability but it also says you just sense the abilities in those around you. As opposed to first seeing or otherwise witnessing the ability.

Thus, I have no idea what the DC should be, because I don't know what ability your sensing.

Don't worry, Kei. We'll make sure we send them your way. Take out two with one throw and all.

Sense Ability (Su): Mimes gain a supernatural insight to the beings around them. Starting at 2nd level, if a mime gets within close range (25 feet + 5 feet/2 levels) of a creature that possesses spells or special abilities, he feels a tingling sensation (this does not include party members and other creatures he has become familiar with) whereby they roll a Concentration check (DC 10 + the level at which the targeted character gained this ability + how many rounds they've been sensing) to figure out what level special abilities the targeted creatures have. He can then focus for a number of rounds to gain more insight. Focusing like this takes a move action every round.

-One round: The mime learns how many beings within close range possess abilities. At this point, the mime "locks on" to one person with an ability and can continue focusing on them as long as they remain within Medium range (100 feet + 10 feet/level).
-Two rounds: The mime learns which creature has the ability, and learns the nature of the abilities (Spells or special abilities, or both).
-Three rounds: The mime learns how many spells and how many special abilities the creature possesses.
In addition to this, if a spell or special ability is used within close range of the mime, the mime instantly knows what kind of ability it was. Finally, if a mime attempts to copy a randomly selected ability from a target, he can instantly sense exactly what the selected spell or ability does and can choose not to copy the ability at the last minute (this does not grant him another chance to copy before his next action).

It is limited, yes, but also pretty specific, I think. In the beginning, it only tells me whether or not a creature has spells, supernatural abilities, extraordinary abilities, or natural abilities, and their strength.

For example, it's not telling me that Bage can throw fireballs out of his fists, or that he's got the powers of a 20th level Kineticist/Monk- only that he has spell-like, extraordinary, and natural abilities. Don't overthink it- the monk gains a natural ability at level 1, so DC 10+1+rounds. Similarly, a paladin gains spells at 4th level, so 10+4+rounds.

Now, it does start to move into specifics, but only when

In addition to this, if a spell or special ability is used within close range of the mime, the mime instantly knows what kind of ability it was.

So, if there's a spell used in front of me (and I do believe Ms. Allandria did use a spell), then I'd sense that it's a spell, with the DC of 10+gained spells+rounds. Make sense?

I will admit, one thing that was done previously that I'd love to get a ruling on- previously, Yass had alluded to a certain villain having all the spells of 9th level- I don't know if the ability only detects spells, or spell levels, at varying DC's. I leave that question up to you.

It amuses me that Zaidel hasn't figured out why the Blood Elves see VK as a demon, but maybe TheWaskally hasn't played Legion yet, lol

Oh he has. But Zaidel's sticking up for his friend.

Bage drags his feet, but follows after the group. Not that we're still all together anyway, though.

I know. The Nameless Warrior and our gunslinging sniper are among the missing.

We're missing 4 players, I believe. Argos, Joseph, Lucas, and Nameless. All of whom haven't posted in around a month.

Well, I guess Joseph found the love-of-his-life and went 'happily ever after'.

... Wow. 103 posts behind.

Best get cracking!

Edit: one read later

... Sooooooo, Nameless is still stuck on the outside of the city, having not teleported to the camp with the others, and then decided to learn more about the city and its current state of affairs rather than make his way inside... how exactly am I meant to rejoin with the others? I must admit, the inclusion of Blood Elves from World of Warcraft is fascinating and I really wish I was there to witness what was going on... but alas. It seems I've missed it for now.

I'm still here as well though it's been a minute since I've been able to post in gameplay, I'm hoping after Easter I'll have more time to post or even take up the GM's mantle again if Monkeygod is bored.

I'm curious to see what Monkeygod might be able to come up with to get me with the others again, and hopefully, he's not getting bored.

Oh, I think what I have in mind will do nicely bring you back in.

However, I will be sparse on posting this weekend, due to spending time with fam.

It's Easter, so to be expected really.

Going on a surprise three day vacation today, when I get back I'm planning on getting much more involved.

Anywho, hope everyone had a happy holiday.

There ya go! This should serve nicely to bring in Nameless.

$%&#&@^!!!!

Gods dang bigger tag isn't working, so my new post is gonna have to wait. Hopefully it gets resolved asap!

Alright I'm back and ready to play! I can resume GM duties Monkeygod if that's what you would like, otherwise I can narrate side characters and even make a pc if you are willing to GM your adventure still.

I definitely want to finish this scene. After that, we'll see what the PCs do. Feel free to make up a PC to join in! :)

Ok, will do, time to think on characterness!

Not making any GM calls, don't want to step on Monkeygod's toes, but I thought I'd make myself useful for now adding some extra color to the world=)

Look at all the pretty colors~!

Also thanks for sustaining this game while I was busy Monkeygod, it is really helpful.

You're quite welcome Yasss!! Glad you're back!!

And, I totally don't mind you adding in some flavor and color!!

Hey Yasss, just curious, do you intentionally make characters that start with 'K' or is it totally a subconscious thing?

For me, I do it a lot with A and V, lol

I like K for some reason, that recent character was originally Cammella when mention earlier (don't know if anyone remembers).

I have a lot of weird naming conventions, though some are by necessity. For instance the ! after Saren was because I couldn't use that name cause someone else on the boards already had it. It fit though, after all he is super enthusiastic about himself =p

Also sorry for the deluge of posts, it has been a minute since I could post so I am really enjoying it. =D

I'm thinking for my character I want to make a kind of pseudo-Buddhist monk, maybe one native to this world instead of an earthling, though if you want me to be from earth I'm cool with that.

I'm sorry, what?

Was not the initial recruitment 'play what you want'?? Has that changed since game start?? :P

Idc what you play, as long as you're gonna be happy and enjoy playing the character.

Alright then! =)

I'd like to pick the pace up again if you guys are willing and get the game flowing nicely again. Anything I can do to help it along folks?

Sorry, had a busy night, and my weekend is gonna be slammed. I have my mixed World of Darkness game tomorrow night, and then Wrestlemania on Sun.

I'll get up a post now.

Also, I'm waiting on VK to reply to my last post, prior the one I just made.

Oh, Yasss, if you wanna help, you can take over the city guards/NPCs. Since I don't really know much about Al'Lamar, I feel I'm not doin so good with them.

Ok, np, yeah sorry I didn't leave you with a primer or something beyond 'just make stuff up' lol.

I'll take care of the stuff on the ground if you'd like to just focus on your main story when you can Monkeygod =)

Also, if you wouldn't mind me running a few side stories too that would be cool =)

Alright. Nameless is back into the story. Best get his character sheet actually finished...

Sorry for double post, but a few questions. How high is the flying creature above ground level? How high is the city above ground level? And how high are the nearby buildings compared to ground level?

Don't know how high the creature is, that's for Monkeygod to answer but the buildings are mostly two stories so about 30ft to their roofs.

Yea, sorry about that. I had a rather long, badass, descriptive post written up for the 'demon' appearance, and then I couldn't post it due to the bigger formatting being broken.

I ended up making the post I made just to keep the game moving.

Anyways, the creature is flying a few hundred feet above Al'Lamar and the flying city is a couple hundred more above him.

It's cool Monkeygod, take your time, I know you are busy. Besides it's letting me take a long walk toward setting up a side adventure. I like long walks, it helps make the adventure more involving when the PCs get involved I think, and it's normally too much effort when you are also actively GMing the main story, so it all works out.

Few hundred feet you say? Hmmmm...

Nimble Shadow from the Shadowed Fist Striker archetype halves the Acrobatic DC for Jumping, and Air Stunt Legendary Athletics Talent reduces the DC for Jump Height by 1... which means that I have a 1:1 ratio for vertical, as well as horizontal jumping...

My Acrobatics score is... 93. +134 for Jumping, meaning I have an effective Acrobatics DC of 227 for Jumping. +4 as I'm always treated as having a running start, and then the Swift Movement Athletics Talent gives me an extra 40ft... soooo on a roll of let's say, 4. I can jump 275ft straight up into the air.

Is that enough to reach the zealot guy?

No.

But it is enough to reach the demon guy....

The demon guy that nameless is referring to as a zealot?

Also, done quite a bit of work on Nameless' Mythic portion over the weekend. Finished his Mythic Path Abilities and Class abilities, and I've done about half, A-M, of his Mythic Feats.

Cool, :)

And yes, you can totally reach the flying bad person with your leet leaping skillz, lol
