jajajajajaja - some people 'dot' in, other people grenade in, and Ceneth is for SURE not the guy to judge ;) go Opi!!!!!

and yes, let's just go there
it's pronounced KEHN-ihth when you are with Valenar elves
it's pronounced SIN-ehth when you are with Aerenal elves

and whether you call him Ken or call him Sin, both are pretty appropriate

Hello! Thank you!

What are we doing for Hit Points? Rolling? Taking average?


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Take average! :)


I will repost my crunchy bits shortly!


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Are you ready for your first mission?


Crunch updated!
Yes!
Listo!

and Ceneth held back a ton of cash so that he can act like a bichota in case we need that (or case we need to blow off steam at the beginning)

Should be good. Who needs to randomly explode in the street while a clearly innocent child looks on?

No child is innocent ... they are simply waiting to learn.
(an 'old' Thuranni proverb)

When you have an eidolon, it's confusing to find you also have a spirit animal #OPI


Okay! Watched MI-1 last night, time to make coffee and watch MI-2!


Where is LotR streaming anyway?
Does anyone know?

Yeah ... I'm from CA, I totally get how fires work.

Was this a linguistics issue? Semantics?
I said torch, a few hundred square feet.
Torch, the verb, not the noun.
I thought GM was pretty clear about the whole, theme and coolness thing.
Of course they would use an accelerant.
Of course it would be big and loud and flashy.

I feel like I missed a memo or watched the wrong movies.
I'm pretty familiar with how Bond works ...

Not sure what this was about.


Warforged Aegis (Aberrant) 2

This is an actual thing I was taught in the Army, btw. Never thought I'd use it anywhere else, lol.
(it's discussed in f. under this link.

Science is real!

;)

But again, I would hardly have suggested setting a fire without an accelerant (and I know they teach THAT in the army too)
PLUS
Even though she didn't pick the code name I would have picked for her
(the Psychic Orc Evoker ... yeah, I would have picked Thunderball)
But Opi can lay down fire magic like no one's business.
So this group starting a fire should NEVER be a problem.


and we do NOT all need to make codename profiles: I just found myself with a minute and thought it would be kinda cheeky

I will flesh it out with Ceneth's updated crunch and all that


Female Halfling Crossblooded Sorcerer 7 | HP: 34 | AC: 18, T: 14, FF: 14 | Fort: +5, Ref: +6, Will: +6 + 4 VS Mental Effects | BAB: +3, CMB: +1, CMD: 14 | Init: +3 | Perception: +10 |

Yeah. Opi's fairly good at making stuff explode. And, amusingly, no one is likely to realize it was her when someone is suddenly engulfed in murder fire. Since the mage will be crying and wailing in the corner you'll have to make a really good Sense Motive to suspect her of the constant detonations.

But yeah, she got 'Null' because she doesn't really have much of a personality of her own anymore.

I'm sure GQ loves her anyway ... Ceneth does and he doesn't even know her yet (mostly because she wanted to go have dinner)


Just to level set, we don't actually have dossiers on each other, not would GQ have shared our more interesting secrets, correct?

Like, only he would know Cari is a changeling.
Only he would know that Ceneth is a "Paid Companion"
That stuff ...

Just wanted to make sure I had that right.

Hi guys. My dad passed away during the night. So I won't be able to do much for the campaign for a while. Sorry everyone, but Real Life has happened. I'll try and pick up things next week.

Will be thinking of you - let us know if you need anything.

Sorry to hear that.

Yes.

Absolutely. So sad to hear.


Team Breland,

In spite of what a trying year it has been, I wanted to wish all of you happy & safe holidays. Love whoever you can while you can, it's a great thing.


Best,
CENNETH


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Game play will resume tomorrow.


Ready :)


Happy & Safe New Year to each of you!

Hey folks, I’m in the middle of moving and haven’t got internet at the new place yet. I’ll post from mobile as best I can, but expect me to be spotty for the next few days. Sorry.

Congrats (I hope)

Moving is HARD
Hope all goes well :)

Meh. The apartment itself is probably a slight downgrade. But turning a roughly 70-75 minute commute (each way) into a 15-20 minute commute makes it worth it, both in time and gas money saved.

Right. So far, you made the right decision in moving closer to work.

I always despised moving, and having done so a few months ago made me consider that maybe I wasn't being nearly harsh enough on it. So good luck and enjoy the new place, shorter commute and fun new begginings.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Do the rings take up a normal ring slot? I've go two already (Protection +1, Resistance +1). I figured a ring of resistance would be less conspicuous than a cloak for my "nope, nothing to see here, just a regular warforged laborer" shtick. But if the GM's ok with it, I'll switch to a cloak to free up the slot. Maybe pick up some Sleeves of Many Garments with the spare change.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

The rings take up a normal ring slot. And you are welcome to exchange a ring for the cloak.

Okay, so we've stalled in RP. Anyone want to try to get RP going again?

Yes -- we have 2 requests to attach the coach to the Lightning Rail; Ceneth's & Prosperity's. Let's do it. Let's get to Sharn.

If Cari doesn't drink on the job ... well ... so be it.
It's a long damn way to Sharn.

Did I miss a post? Where did the "opinions" thing come from?

Ceneth outlined a few possible next steps, as he sees them, and wanted buy-in from the group. Where did talking about their lives come from? He wasn't trying to draw people out ... he was trying to get "yeah, that sounds great, let's do that"


nonbinary half-elf witch (alley witch) 7

I read that as just Cari musing aloud about how to spend the next 10 hours and ruling out chummy conversation, I don't think it was a response to Ceneth.

Prosperity's on board with the plan, they just don't have strong preferences about specific lodging arrangements and they've been weighing in so much already I figured I'd let others respond to that part.


ah ... got it ... fair enough


nonbinary half-elf witch (alley witch) 7

Hey, y'all still around? My life got somewhat taken over by a project but that's over now, and I'm down to get things moving again if others are.

I'm here. I was ready to give up.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

Hi all. Yeah, we can continue.


Male Human Psion 10/Atlanteologist 10

I'm well, and I want to see this campaign get finished. Does anyone want to play any more?
