Just so you know and no-one gets confused, I'm waiting on miachel to tell me if he has anything to say.
Here.
Indeed. That was fast.
So is everyone just gonna stand around waiting for goodman to notice you?
I was waiting for the doctor. He has the note and I don't talk much.
Jeez.
I shouldn't let you play low cha charecters...
>_>
Cha is his highest mental stat.
What really makes this hard is things like this, forcing the high cha characters into a dialog with the dm...
Witch woudl be ok, if the group had any form of leader assumed to talk most of the time.
But in a group without one, the problem comes that everyone expects everyone else to say something.
Right.
Sorry,
"Characters with a negative diplomacy"
I just assumed that the one with the note would give it to him...
Yeah, I know. Usually, the assumptions on both side make sense, so neither end up being right.
Of all things, this is quite possibly the hardest thing for me to deal with as a dm.
Not rules, checking characters, twists of luck, making new places to go...
No, the hard part is stops caused by everyone assuming everyone else will talk, and I never have any clue how to handle these, causing the campaign to shut down for weeks, usually.
I just don't ever know what to do anymore in things like this...
It's frustrating.
Not to say I'm not enjoying this game.
I mean...
I made this for something you're never supposed to fight, just because I liked making it.

Lawful shadow-
The ink raven deals +1d3 cold damage on it's natural attacks. In addition, against chaotic creatures, the raven deals another 1d3 untyped damage.
Liquid form-
As an amorphous being, the ink raven is capable of being struck and taking no damage, save from attacks that splatter it- the ink raven has dr 5/bludgeoning. The ink raven is immune to critical hits from weapons that do not deal bludgeoning damage. The ink raven has a +40 to escape artist checks to escape a grapple. The ink raven has 1 regeneration, negated when the ink raven has at least a gallon of water poured over it's body when below 0hp.
When the ink raven dies of bludgeoning or force damage, it's regeneration slows, restoring only 1 hp an hour until it returns to an amount of hp equal to it's negative con. It becomes immune to single-target damage during this time. If, during this time, it takes 10 or more damage from any one attack, it dies as if it had a gallon of water poured over it's corpse.
If gathered together into a small continer by an outside party,* the regelation speeds back up.
*(such as a bucket)
Messenger-
A ink raven can travel hundreds of miles to deliver a message.
A scroll can be attached to it's back as if it was wearing something to tie it on with, and the scroll will be magically protected from the effects of weather.
If you attach a scroll with a seal on it, a name, and a short description of the person the name belongs to, the raven will then, on command of the person who tied the message (unless it Is a familiar, at witch point it only responds to it's master), it flies to the person written on the scroll. This functions as animal messenger, but with no max range, as long as there is a route to the target.
The raven never tires when delivering a message, and is immune to fatigue and exhaustion caused by the environment, and can move at a run indefinitely with no penalty, total of about 27 miles per hour.
Hay, doc, you /are/ proficient in that revolver I gave you, right?
It's a martial weapon, like all firearms in this setting aside from the really odd ones.
What 4 weapons did you choose when you started the game? You're supposed to write this down.
Yep, 4 martial weapons.
"Shouting at targets."

*and i do mean "godly". You know i often stat out things you'll never see.
Ok, what are we waiting on.
I've been waiting for quite a while, to the point that I have most of the main storyline fixated, and I've been applying stats to the /final boss/.
You can move us on to travel/arrival, I believe.
Alright then. Give me a minute to ghost the stuff.
Possible minor continuity conflict. Requires mantinence.
Nope, we're good.
And we had this going rather fast for a while...
I'm not even waiting on you...
>_<
I understand you're busy. I know your general schedule.
I jist have to assume everyone's busy right now.
No big deal, people have lives.
You know, there are several off-screen moments that happen outside your charecter's views that would be a waste not to post.
So, I might start posting OOC "elsewhere" posts here.
Cal's assumption here is green grass -> well watered -> wet grass is hard to catch on fire.
Indeed. Cal isn't entirely wrong, green grass doesn't catch fire too easy- embers wouldn't do it.
It does spread quick, though.
Well, lucky for the forest these canines here don't sit still, isn't it?
(Checks what embers means)
*facepalm*
When I say embers, what I actually meant was the red pieces of ash that fly out of a fire.
Do you have work today? You seem awfully active.
Bleach. Bad choice of power.
Everyone knows psychokinesis is the best power.
That's not going to get the cereal from the top shelf.
No way
I'd go for the ability to be in multiple places at once (favorite example: superhero: Harem (she could also teleport)
@ice: would any of those others have been a better choice though?
No.
But, honestly, the best power is plot demands power.
Anyone have anything else to say?
Real posts after school.
Ok then. That's fine.

if I had known this the doc wouldn't have been nearly so incredulous
I'm fringe to reconcile what he said with the psodo-reality of the situation, to allow me/him to post...
Uh... What?
Try again, with less confusing words, please.
Also, you never made any checks on these creatures.
A little odd, I'd say.

Replace incredulous with surprised and mildly confused
Replace reconcile with... Make sense in context with each other (not a perfect fit but whatever)
Fringe is just a weird typo, should be "trying"
Psodo means imitation or false, referring to how the universe the characters are in is fictional from our perspective.
Ok. Finge and incredulous were what threw me.
It's simple- you aren't superhuman, and you didn't get too close. Mistakes are made.
