Argh, sorry all.
I was stressing, I mean focusing on work, and I blinked and realized that I hadn't posted anything, anywhere, for 3-4 days!
Um,... Oops?!? ;P
Wow, have not played S&S, but did not realize that skinshaper archetype would remove your wild shaping?
Also,... WHY/how is everything around an ocean-going campaign immune to electrical attacks?!?
I mean, WATER was MADE for electrical attacks! :)
That just sounds,... weird. :P
Sorry for the rough druid experience.
I have actually only played 1 druid for more than 1 level. (On a PbP here actually)
It lasted a while, finally ran dead. But we were in the (low?) teens after starting at 1st lvl. entangle, call lightning, etc all got a lot of use. I had some fun summons, but I think my fave was when I called a T-rex, enhanced by the usual summoning feats, AND a 3rd party feat (makes your summons greenbound template, basically plant-enhanced versions of the usual monster, sounded perfect for a druid)
I linked the youtube track of the old 'Godzilla' Sat morning cartoon, and the DM declared "With that, Elgan wins D&D." ;P
He wasn't the most powerful skirmisher at all, but with the shapeshifter archetype he was flexible. Defintely the most fun I've had playing a Non-mage . yet. ;P
I forgot you were a yojimbo. Happy birthday!
In honor of Oladon's archetype's anniversary, I had to watch Yojimbo last night. And since I couldn't sleep, I also watched Seven Samurai. You know, the story about a town that calls for mercenary heroes to come protect them from ravaging bandits, only to hide the best food from them, hide in fear, mistrust their motives and actions, and run away at critical times in the fighting.
It reminded me of something... just can't quite put my finger on it.
In my defense the food was much better this morning. Just cold.
;P
LOL! ;)
Sorry, just got home from a 14-hour load in/rehearsal of my first 'back to normal insanity' rental, a kids musical (Spongebob the Musical. Yes, thats a thing) ;P
Apologies in advance if I seem to vanish, I'm alive, just busy. :)
Not that it's something you want to do at the breakfast table, but I believe there were some other items (alchemical, unholy symbols, etc) stuff that folks wanted to take a second look at.
We can do those rolls "here" (ie. out of gameplay), as desired.
Also, you've a few hours before you meet back with Hamish, Rickan and the research assistants -- so how did you want to spend that time?
Merlan suggests finishing up any examinations in the stable. Out of nosey peoples eyesight and we can go over the gear to be traded/sold/whatever.
If we are going to keep taking damaged armor and such to trade/sell, I may have to burn some gold or a lvl up to get a real Mend/repair spell so we can make sure they are in best condition to sell.
On the other hand, there aren't really any rules for repairing /selling damaged armor that I know of? O_o
You can handle small objects with mending, and you could bug Sahar to make whole bigger things (as needed) -- until you fill your spellbooks, of course.
However, in general, damaged items will be worth less - how much depends on the damage, of course.
We have plenty of mending to do, but we are never out of eyesight or earshot of a certain invisible fae, so we cannot talk or plan in the stable. Or in the rooms. Or out in the fields. Or anywhere. Sahar urges everyone to keep mum until we can meet with Rickan and Hamish. She has a plan for that meeting. In the meantime, can anyone see invisibility?
Sahar is interested in riding out to where the injured man is to check on his condition and render assistance if need be, with anyone who would care to join her.
Do either of our new people have horses?
That's not true. You're often out of eyesight and earshot of the Fae. I mean, he had to run around like crazy to try to set up that trap that he baited you into. Couldn't very well just be watching you then, now could he?
Now, on the other hand... well....
RAssin frassin Fae,... ;P
Costin has see invisibility in his deck, and could prepare it if the party tells him they want to look for invisible fey. He also knows glitterdust if you want to get really aggressive about it. (I plan to have glitterdust prepared by default. That spell has a lot of good applications, and against invisible enemies it makes it so that everyone can see them, instead of just the caster.)
Oh I planned to take glitterdust for one of my new spells anyway. It's just a good spell.
Did NOT originally plan on See Invis, but was considering it due to that pest. ;P
If you have see invis, then I probably wont get it. (But once the fae figures out you have it, prepare to be 'target numero uno' for a certain homicidal fae) ;)
Goin' campin'... probly won't post until Sunday or Monday.

Have fun! Look out for fae.

Hi all!
FYI, this coming Tuesday, June 1, is my wedding anniversary.
(25 years my wife has put up with me. She deserves a medal or something.) ;P
But since i am WORKING this Tuesday, I will be taking my wife to a B&B to celebrate this weekend. After that I will be doing a week-long dance show, SO during the week I will be checking (occasionally) when able but will not be posting much for the next week.
Just another 'I'm not gone just busy' note from your local Wizzie. :)
Have a great Memorial Day!
Ok, so, to be clear (and for the sake of moving things forward a little, though I do love good RP):
Three of you (Costin, Merlan, Sahar) are going to see the herbalist/healer and to check on the guy who was scratched by an orc's javelin? [It'll be a relatively short visit, allowing for being back in time for lunch]
The other three (Fiona, Sandy and Eloen) will be flying the flag and/or patrolling in the vicinity of town for the next 3.5-4 hours?
Is that right?
That sounds right to me?
The town group might be going to visit Daven, too, and either interrogate him or spell him so he can rest, depending on his circumstances?
Sounds like a plan!
(I LUV a good RP, but sometimes a good cut-scene is just more efficient) ;P

Instead of "cut scene" can we say... I don't know... "peaceful montage"? I'm just more comfortable not giving the DM any ideas.

Oooooh, yeah,
Good point! ;)
Nuther crazy week at work, but should lessen after this week. I'll do my best to post this evening.
No problems. Trees don't move very fast, he'll still be there later.

The spoiler tags have gotten entirely out of hand.
I can think of a post, but not a good tag!
You know, it's perfectly legal to just say Home Team or Away Team.

But,... But,...
The challenge? The PUNS?!?!
We musn't abandon the PUNS!
;P
Hey all,
Me sorry too, didnt realize it had been a couple of days.
Been,... preoccupied. Yeah,... ;P
Ok, so now that we've unsplit the party, is there any last bit of clever to be done (or anything I missed) before we're off to brunch with a side of exposition? (or maybe I have that backwards...)
Being CLEVER is Merlan's specialty!
(Yep. He's a Legend in his own mind. Capital "L") ;P
Still catching up on all my stuff (Both work AND PbP) But at this point I've nothing too 'clever' to try and add.
Give me time,.... :)

Hi folks,
I know it's summer which is usually a slower time, but I'm thinking after this weekend (a long weekend for most of us, even if the actual holiday is slightly different for me than most of you), I'd like to try to pick up the pace a little. In setting up the posts for today's meeting, I realized that it was 8 months ago in real time that you guys last met with Rickan and Hamish -- and at that pace, it'll be our grandchildren finishing this particular story. ;)
LOL,
As interesting as THAT might be, (Since I already have grandkids) picking it up a smidge sounds good (?!?)
Of course I'll be out of town next week, going to visit Oklahoma family for a week, but I'll be able to check in every so often.:)
No objections here!
I'm trying to keep up, but sadly a quarter of our studio was just laid off and an entire project cancelled. I still have a job, but things are a bit chaotic.
OOF! Sorry to hear that Jesse.
Dang, well I'm glad you still have a job!
Hang in there, prayers and well-wishes for you and yours.
That's assuredly *not* the good kind of chaos. Glad you're only in the splash zone and not the direct line of fire - even if that still sucks.
I'll be away for the long weekend, which for us Canucks, begins today.
Might be able to sneak some posts in late at night, but otherwise, I'll see everyone Monday.
It's so good of you to celebrate our independence! ;)
LOL!
He's JUST that nice! :)
I also will be escaping, I mean going out of town to visit family (Has it really been a year and a half since I last saw them?!?)
I will be leaving this weekend, and will likely be gone all week.
I will have internet, just not a lot of time. But I will check in and try to keep up. Just dont expect my 'usual' novel-length posts.
(DOnt worry. I'll make up for it when I get back) ;P
Oh sure, crank up the speed, then leave us. ;P
Hope everyone enjoys their long weekend!

Oh, great. Now I'm thinking about River Pirates, and accordingly, have this stuck in my head.
Also, I am very Canadian.
I'm maybe a little off b/c of being a newer addition, but I'm not sure of our next steps. From what I've gathered:
* The townsfolk hate us for some reason and this will never change, so f~## 'em
* There's an old dwarven mine northeast of here, that orcs are trying to get into, and we should probably stop them, but we have to find an alternative route in because the main entrance is collapsed
* There's a pirate ship in a nearby lake? That is related to some half-orc who lived sixty years ago? And I'm not sure why we care?
More info, if we have any, would be much appreciated.
