Castell is not a halfling, he is not meant for tossing and grabbing.

Also, ow, I have 4 hit points now. I guess I'll have to specify that I stay out of a things reach from now on, yikes.

Stop putting yourself in danger. :)

If I recall correctly, whoever's playing that Paladin had the plan of "go behind the mystery creature guys!" I was following orders.

I'm alive though, so there's that. Working on something for our situation. Hoping I'll make headway.

Hey, it's not *my* fault the paladin academy doesn't teach knowledge planes.

They don't even have a cursory course in aerodynamics!

Stupid creatures with wings.

Well, it only attacked once, so it coudl've moved and attacked.
As you didn't specify that it did that, how would any of us know that's what happened? No battle map and no descriptive text leads to very uncertain and confusing battles.

Yeah, I'll get on that soon.

I had assumed he moved close to the angel, but I really do need to make maps in the future.

Aploiges for the incompetence.

Indeed, that woudl've been bad.

Still, though, something I should've already done.

By the way, Castell, your CMD is 18, so unless you're voluntarily failing so I can toss you, then I would have missed.


Human

Yes, part of my master plan involves letting someone toss me, since I could also choose to bite you as my AoO, and well, that won't help anyone. In a less "imminent murder"-y situation it could be funny though. Next part of my plan appears to be leaning towards running away and hoping we don't get run down.


Added something to that, because I didn't have a meet back point and I wanted to be clear that we weren't just doing a circle around them.


Human

Guys serious.

Stop it.

He's gonna bite if you keep picking him up without warning. You have to let him get to know you first.


Actually serious or "serious" serious?


Human

The quotiest of air quotes around the word serious.


Ok. Cool.

I just wanted to make sure. Tone doesn't carry on the Web and stuff. :)


Human

Not a problem, if was serious I would have tried to articulate my post a lot more.

EDIT: Also, can Fray roll a grapple check for funsies anyway? So far nobody has actually managed to pass a check to Tavi-handle him, I wanna see if the streak continues.

I just really wanted Fray to scream "Kraaww!" right before he picked up Castell.


Inactive

Don't let it peck out your eyes. It's probably just defending its territory.


But what if he takes him back to his nest and feeds him to his babies...

Thanks! I try.

I also still don't know if that channel reached me.

Yes, it did.

She said she moved if needed, and I'm certian she was within 60 feet.


Human

Sweet. 16 is much more workable than 4.


Male Strix Alchemist 3

Grab the Tavi: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18 isn't there some bonus or penalty for size difference too?


Those are already applied by your size. I think the only other thing is that you can't grapple someone more than a size bigger than you without feats, I'm pretty sure.

I believe there is too, but I can't find it.


Human

Huh, just noticed my 8 point bonus to climb is coming from a climb speed. I thought I just got a bonus to checks.


Human

Wait, I'm unclear, was that our plan with the body?

Burn it. While Fray is holding on to it in the air. Feather are flammable, right?

Don't worry Castell, you'll survive the 60' drop. :)

Just be happy I decided against saying "get a grip" when Fray almost dropped me from his lack of concentration.

And I don't remember merchandising any sock puppets, what Sorcery is this?

I get what you're doing, wanting someone to dislike, but I don't really get where Castell would think that Zveris dislikes him.

Maybe we were reading tone differently, but I don't think I've done anything that would depict Zveris being anything less than nice to anyone really, especially him. I was kind of hoping they'd be buddies.

The thing before going into the swamp, I guess, but that ended in the admission that he's only nervous because he cares about them.

I just don't really get where he thinks Zveris doesn't like him or anyone. :(

I see. I was going from the character building thing early on when you and Bookie were discussing backgrounds, the idea of Zveris not liking the church because it separated him and merek was put out, and I assumed we were rolling with that.

Of course, if you don't want to do that as a player, this could just be Castell getting paranoid. All in his head and such, you know? I was already assuming the notion of zveris and margret working together was something he was wrong about anyway. Again, up to you how we go from here, he just needs a bit of reassurance he's being crazy right now.

Although I don't know how they would be friends already either. Something to work out?

He's right. Instead just pretend she's a newly washed car.

How about this for the teamwork feat mentioned earlier for some Rocket n' Groot type teamwork?

Impromptu Mount:
You and your allies are specially trained to give each other a leg up and keep an eye out for each other in combat.

Prerequisites: Base Attack Bonus +3, (possibly others)

Benefit: You and an ally who also has this feat can treat each other as a mount and rider so long as the two characters are of the appropriate size. There is no penalty for not having a saddle, nor for the use of what is normally an inappropriate mount. When acting in this way you can choose whether to share an initiative or to use your own separate counts at the start of battle. Once this is decided, it cannot be changed until the end of the combat.

Normal: Riding an inappropriate mount gives a -5 penalty on ride checks, riding bareback adds a second -5 penalty.

I contemplated adding a bonus to ride checks the rider makes while using this feat as the two would be working together instead of one leading the other, but felt this was quite good enough as is. Thoughts?


Male Strix Alchemist 3

Oh I meant after I threw down the bombs.


Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I've had a heck of a weekend, capstoned with my car catching fire and burning out completely.

-------

The church did sort of steal his best and only friend, but he doesn't really identify Castell with the church as much. Especially not after Merek getting on his case for never being there.
I also wasn't intending for them to be friends this early, but I was trying to set that up at least. It'll take time, but I'd like for them to get along eventually.

Sorry to hear that, I hope things turn around for you sooner than later.

But it sounds like we're more on the same page than I thought. I'm also hoping they'll be friends eventually. Castell's certainly got a bump in Zveris' direction with the transformation.


Human

I'm imagining Merek in a school teacher outfit, wagging his finger at us and it amuses me.

RIP Cognitive Dissonance. You had potential.

Good gaming guys. Hope you all find a game that works; I'm done trying to keep this one going.


I think we can still keep it going. We should just jump cut to traveling.


Inactive

Yeah, I'm done too. This isn't really going anywhere.

Dang guys it's just a bit of a slowdown
I've never seen a game go as fast as it does at first
This one kept it's momentum a bit longer than most
Calm down
If you want out fine, but the game is far from dead unless you're killing it now


M Human Peasant

GM hasn't posted anything here since Monday. I'll give it till Monday for icehawk to post something because I am interested in the concept, but after that, I'm done. I understand life happens, but not taking 5 minutes to post anything for a straight week, at least to let us know he needs to take time off for personal reasons is kinda silly imo.

I'd rather not bail, but if we don't get to do anything, I guess there isn't much choice. Really, it matters whether or not the GM is going to continue, personally, I'm still fully on board to go on.


M Human Peasant

I am as well, but it's up to the gm at this point for me lol

Oh good god I'm a dumbass.

Sorry.

Maybe it's best we drop this. Sorry for wasting everyone's time.


M Extrodinaraly Contrary Meatbag Fourm pyromancer 1

.... Yeah. I think I'll just close this.

I'm clearly not ready to DM, nor ready for any real form of responsibility.

Thanks for putting up with my b+!~+~#& this long.

And I'm so very, very sorry.

Maybe, one day, when I'm not so stupid, I'll run this concept again, and actuslly make something out of it instead of ruin it.


Human

It was nice playing with everybody.
