Ahh - finally- the penny drops! Sorry its 4am and I am thick as a brick and hopped up on flat coke. Sorry - forgot you are an Arcanist. It must be the huge guns that Karrik is sporting.
Lol. no problem, man. I'm just giving you a hard time. I have posted more than either of the other two, so i just assumed you didn't think i had been neglected. (which i don't really feel, either).
That said I think Karrik alone with Lorrimors collection of Chelaxian porn (I mean 'Art') may not be the sort of thing we want to read about after all.
Eesh... true on all accounts. An eclectic man like the Professor? Not sure Karrik is even brave enough to open those pages. :)
Anyways getting back together again could be cool too. I think I actually flubbed the 'buy a man a beer' roll (unthinkable that this would fail in Australia) so it will be interesting to see what happens as a result.
Agreed. Damn dice!
Not to worry, Raj will take over guard duty so you folks can go off and have some whacky adventures yourself... besides he's got to put that magic lolly from his new best friend to the test. See if Miss Lorrimor can handle super-sexy Raj. :)
I'm sure between the Kuthonic BDSM porn, his own devastating raw charisma, and the lolly... well, when the Wizard's house is a'rocking don't come a'knockin'!

Unless you're being paid to. Then it goes from interruption to ADVENTURE.
Shit just got weird. :D
Walter does somethin that don't matter none, like a window-washing check
Walter does somethin that'd be nice like talking to pretty girls
Walter tries to see that everyone in Ravengro is mind controlled by space nazis
I mean seriously dice come on
Walter tries to see that everyone in Ravengro is mind controlled by space nazis
Suddenly, everything makes sense.
It just figures that I do super high sense motive, perception, and knowledge checks all game, and then as soon as something even close to combat comes along...

And gives the term 'surprise round' a whole new meaning. ; )

Well, I've moved things on a little and hopefully should have everyone back together by this afternoon my time. Theron and Raj, feel free to assume that Alendru will agree to whatever 'deal' you might concoct to keep him out of trouble. He is terrified of going to jail, especially since he's a wizard and has relied chiefly upon his enchantment magics to get along in life so far; being denied his spellbook would not be pretty! He has a decent Charisma score by himself, but that doesn't mean he necessarily sees himself as being so charismatic that he doesn't need a little help every now and then.
Random behind-the-curtain-factoid--the lolly had a 25% chance of working as a use-activated wondrous item that acts as prestidigitation-in-a-can. ; )

Yay! I was worried about what was going to happen after all those horrible rolls XD . Raj, I'll leave most of it up to you since you were the ones getting spells cast on you.
/tries to sneak in and not disturb the flow.
Seeing how I tried out for this game and didn't get accepted(all be it on another character) I was wondering...oh great and powerful cynarion...if you wouldn't mind me lurking here and reading you're posts...maybe even having limited interactions with your players...I promise it won't derail important things...
Pshhh... you clearly haven't read the thread... we are self-de-railing, no help necessary. :p
hard to keep up with all the posts that happen day to day....on that note mind slowing down so I can catch up :P...just kidding.
Its awesome to see a play by post game that actually moves...wish the ones I DM would do that.
Hey, another Samsaran!! Was starting to feel lonely in Ravengro.
Yep..really wish I would have put forth this character when I applied for this game...might have been selected.
If anyone is wondering I was the one who put forth Tomnus the fighter(tactition) build that had background issues.
"Wha... wha.... WHAT?! You HEXED me... and you was gonna DOUBLE-hex me right there!"
: )))))))))))))
:)
The advantage of pretending to be an ignorant hayseed in a country filled with torch-wielding, superstitious, ignorant hayseeds is you get to deliver lines like that... and they should scare the bejesus out of the spell-slinging merchant class. :D
Cyn... just a thank you for selecting Rajuna instead of my Pally submission. I'm having a BALL with this guy. :)
... right up until he gets devoured by vampires.
Nah, that should be fun too:
Dripping blood, Rajuna draws his dual daggers, "You call those fangs? THESE are fangs!"

Tsk Tsk, a veiled Crocodile Dundee reference just because the GM is Australian. For shame.
:-)
Seriously, though, I am having so much fun just even reading everyone's posts. Theron scaring the mage was just awesome.
No Croc Dundee reference intended, honestly. Besides, I don't need to hear 'Who is Crocodile Dundee?' to make me feel older. :)
gazebo
I draw my weapon.
:)
Yeah, this is lots of fun. : ) To echo Helaman's comment from earlier, I've never seen a GM cast an enchantment spell like charm person on a PC before, but when I started asking questions of myself about Alendru's personality, and came up with the enchanter/con-man angle, it just made sense. What was really gratifying was watching Theron and Raj run with it. : )
Theron, Raj, I will get back to our mage-who-needs-to-change-his-underwear friend later today. But I'll happily script the remainder of the encounter so that it matches Raj's preferred outcome.
Mathpro, you're welcome to lurk if you like. I figure this is something of a spectator sport, what with all the threads being accessible to all and sundry. Naturally, it would be preferred if you can keep to the Discussion thread. If you start to derail things I will let you know. : )
Right. Now I'd best get back to work...

How about "I see you've played knifey-spooney before!"
; )
(Although that episode is probably the only time I've been cranky with The Simpsons. Normally their parodies are self-aware. That one didn't seem to be.)

Oh, I didn't think you were. I was just kidding. :-)
Re: Simpsons--I haven't seen an episode in a long time, but I still remember a lot from the earlier episodes. I'm a teacher, and I love when Skinner is talking to Crabapple and says : Come on, Edna! We both know these children have no future.
And at that moment the cafeteria is silent and the sound echoes. All the kids are staring in disbelief and Skinner says: Prove me wrong, kids, prove me wrong.
Awesome.
If you don't mind me asking, Lem, what grade and/or what subject(s) do you teach?
And if you are missing a part of one finger, you must be the woodshop teacher. :)
Hehe, I have all of my appendages. The only thing I've lost from teaching is my mind.
I'm a HS math teacher (Algebra and Geometry). Before that I taught English and Speech. I also was the In School Suspension teacher. I'm weird. :-)
No one expects the Iomedaean Inquisition!
"I don't believe you are a necromancer, but I AM going to inspect this establishment just to make sure. In the meantime however, you best start thinking of how you are going to make amends to this poor man lest I report you. If I ever find manipulating people with magic again..." Theron doesn't finish the sentence, leaving the wizard to make his own guesses about what his fate would be. Then he casts Detect Magic and begins scanning the surroundings with an appropriately grim look on his face.
This is awesome. I am going to have to throw something extra in now. : D

Between you and me (and everyone else participating and lurking), I had Udaya as the central character of the party for a loooong time, because come on--a paladin in a horror-themed AP where there are plenty of questions to be asked about morality and 'right'? Too good to give up!
But I had an awful hard time building the party around her--not because she was a paladin per se, but because I couldn't get the mix of personalities right in my head.
Then I swapped Udaya for Raj and everything just fell into place. : )
So I'm not going to get to torture Udaya with questions about faith and her (perceived) apostasy, but I am going to get to do a lot of different things with Raj instead. Like torment him with Kendra, and have unscrupulous shopkeepers cast enchantments on him. ; )
I love my job today!
Harris Pizza for lunch on the company (Surprise surprise when I walk in the door!)
And Whitey's Ice Cream as a treat for the end of the day!
Today is a good day.
This is awesome. I am going to have to throw something extra in now. : D
Thanks! I have to say though, I was only able to do it that well because of Raj's awesomeness getting me into the right mindset XD
GO Team Iomedae! Fight! Fight! Fight!
Cyn, I have to say that I'm glad you picked Theron. I'm pretty sure that he's fitting in much better than the Kitsune Oracle would have. Nevermind the complications of that character being on the other end of the inquisitions for being a 'werefox'. XD
The only thing I've lost from teaching is my mind.
Minds are overrated. :)
I'm a HS math teacher (Algebra and Geometry). Before that I taught English and Speech.
Thumb's up, my man. You have a tough job - made no easier by teenage hormones.

Thanks! It's nice to hear a pro-teaching comment in the current political climate. And I mean this sincerely.
On an unrelated note, any of you guys like March Madness? By the time I turned my Irish on they were already losing 20-8. Now they're winning 28-24. Good stuff.

My wife and I start watching right around when the Sweet-16 are getting sorted out and watch it through to the end. :)
This is just waiting for the girl (waiting for someone to take her away from all this) and Walter get together to make out etc - thats when some guy in a mask and a big axe will come out of nowhere to kill themCould I show you around a bit? she finally asks. When you're free, I mean. I'm sure you're busy and all, knowing folks back in Lepidstadt. She withdraws momentarily--thinking that perhaps she said too much.
Finally, they arrive at the smithy. But I did like listening to you talk to ma and da, she says, so maybe we can talk again if you have the time? She smiles and waits for Walter's response.
Getting the hint - 1d20+1
Walter's face flushed a little when she asked to spend time with her. He listened to her words in his head again to try to pick out what he thought he saw for just a second. He thought she was funny, and, well, he didn't know her too well, but that's why she asked to see him again. From an analytical standpoint, she was probably one of the few unbiased sources of information he could find in the town, and she'd probably know things that the adults wouldn't tell strangers, and... her hoop earrings were kind of cute.
He wondered how old she was. He hoped she wasn't thirteen. This had happened before. He was sixteen-- no, seventeen now, just last week. Well, it didn't quite matter.
"Um... sure, yeah. Absolutely. You can, um, show me what's what around here. I haven't gotten a chance to, um, look around the town too much and it'dbenicetohaveaguide and... yeah."
Walter beamed-- quietly and shly-- as she made time the next morning to meet him there. "Okay. Um, see you then."
Walter will run into the abandoned coal mine for safety, and she will go directly into the hedge maze to try to lose him.
We'll meet at the run-down amusement park. Nothing can stop this plan.
Walter, you dog!
Playing the mysterious, quiet type, eh?
Just you watch... 'shy' Walter is going to work his way through every hot sister in that family. :)
At L2, he's going to take a Rank in Prof: Gigolo.
Walter 'Dirty Dawg' Vheist
Friends, Romans, countrymen lend me your...
OK, guys, here's what I'm thinking. Cyn is probably going to be out from today through Tuesday (in the former-Colonies) or Wednesday (in Koala Country and various other parts). Now, I don't know about you, but I'm kind of mildly addicted to this thread and would like to do a little RP whilst the cat is away.
So, I figure since Lem, Dragomir, and Walt are heading home...
And Theron and Raj have gotten an OOC "I'll make it happen" from the man in charge, so they can head home as well...
We could have some RP at the house without affecting the outside world. If that sounds good to you guys, let's make it happen. :)
: Double Thumbs-Up :
