DM Voomer's Age of Ashes

OMG, Joran. If Lisi had Lipstitch as a spell... :P

(Been meaning to respond to this).

HA! What? For Joran? C'mon now. I just don't understand why. :P

If there isn't, well, ol' Joran's in for a BIG surprise. And he won't be very happy about it either. :P

You know, that appears to be a somewhat vague statement and can possibly be interpreted in more ways than one. Interesting...

Joran, I see what you did there. And I want to tell you that the message is received - I will do my best to protect you.

After all - with puns like that, it's either Trinil is expecting, or there are little Bravestones already running around Breachill.

OMG no one EVER gives Cev ammunition!

I mean he said that to Oren, so that's your mark.

Looking at the calendar, wanna check something with you guys regarding repairs.

Option 1: You're paying experts to keep going while you're gone. Repairing the battlements takes 28 days, so 28 g for materials + 28g for labor + 140g for the one leading the group = 196g. Repairing the crumbled walls is 8 days each for 3 rooms, so (8+8+40)x3 = 168g total.

Option 2: No work gets done on the citadel until you go back, you gus roll crafting checks, and save money but have to be there for it.

What would you rather?

We adventurers are a bit broke at the moment as far as I can tell.

I'm willing to have it done by the time we get back, and am willing to whore the rest of the party out to the workers as compensation.

Sorry guys, you will have to take one- erm. You will have to take a few dozen for the team. Each of you.

I will take the unfortunate position of the madam and keep the books in order. Besides, Yasami has the necessary medicine skills to keep you, uh- functional.

Real talk. No idea. I think the stuff we had done by the time we left is covered?

I think the stuff we had done by the time we left is covered?

Yes. I did account for all of the repair costs to date.

Does Cev need to chronomance whoring himself out to the Dreamhouse again? We're giving new meaning to Lay on Hands ...

Enterprising idea:

Keep the Huntergate open, flood the ring, and use the manifestation of Dahak in the tunnel as a heat source for a hot spring bath-house. Tell the golem to serve people that have a ticket ( Sigil spell - lasts a week or until cleaned by scraping - 1 gold per entry / casting )

I see no flaws in this plan.

or

Speak to every merchant who comes to Breachill and the surrounding towns and see what it would be worth to them to be able to travel back and forth to the Expanse instantly

"Joran ... is not that" should be a t-shirt

I'm going to make you say hi to me, Cevendyll <3

This. I really don't think we have that much cash. Not according to our inventory anyway.

So it looks like we don't have a choice BUT to wait until we get back and take care of it ourselves. The lack of money talks. :)

Lol!

Lol! Please no. Just... no. :P

11 new posts in discussion. Wonder what they're talking about...

I love you all.

Sure, just trigger the Dahak-trap with an endless supply of chickens.

I can already see the Yelp reviews.

A unique mix of fourteen spices and a manifestation of an evil dragon god in the cellar makes for a some good chicken ON TOP of an interesting experience. The waiter is a golem that tried to kill us, so he didn't get a tip.

Food was good, kids were entertained (and somehow talked into servitude) by two kobolds... but, the staff tried to mutilate and dismember us. With that said, I am forced to take 1 star away due to the staff issue. 4/5.

I'm going to make you say hi to me, Cevendyll <3

Wait! I talked about steak temps, I am sure I did.

I am sure I said HI in there :(

Oh, I meant "Hi"... in the game, lol! Catalina is trying to say hello to Cev as of last night. :)

and now that has happened ;)

"And my little friends as well,"

I just can't shake it. All I get from your quote is: "I'll get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!" :)

I was channelling SCARFACE! Say hello to my little leshy!

btw, I will be camping from 10/14 to 10/17. Please bot Lisi with extreme prejudice.

I've never seen Scarface.

I know it's probably not SUPER necessary but just wanted to hop into discussion and reassure folks that Catalina's catty response to Yasami is in NO WAY indicative of my OOC feelings. <3

Oh, no worries. I like to think I can separate player and character.

Unless they always play the same character over multiple campaigns and they never know what to roll or what dice to roll with when it's their turn in initiative. And one would think that after 3 years of playing the same thing they would know their class features, but apparently not!

Don't mind me. Just rambling about people that are not in this group.

I feel like we might play some games with similar people.

This made me laugh ;)

There's a player in one of the IRL games I'm in who never knows what to do ever, despite us telling them the mechanics of their character every session...and we've been playing for over a year.

This ought to be good. I'll try to help him out as best I can. Try to make it easier for him.

Depends on if we need to make checks at all and if so, which ones.

If we are making checks, I'm expecting either Fortitude Save or Athletics. And Caiten is actually pretty good at Athletics since I am training for tripping people.

Yeah I've no idea what kind of checks are involved of if they even are. My guess is, we don't need to make any at all. I'm just rolling with what Joran would think. ;)

You guys can easily carry it back was just for flavor.

I have returned from seeing this mountain and that. Did we win?

Cev feels like he may "win" after the feast, he's hopeful anyway ...

Not sure that it would be important, but would Nimble Dodge come into play in this game too?

I'm fine with just for flavor if you don't want to allow any mechanical benefit.

If only I had Dive For Cover :P

Ohhh this looks fun. Excited for when I have time to write a post.

I think it would apply, sure!

Cool. Not that it makes much difference when I roll that badly for my dance to the beat rolls...

But Caiten isn't known for his dancing skills. :D

This is like the old days, waking up to 20 posts ;)

and yes ... I gave Cev the -1 because he's distracted

Including a -1 for flavor is cool.

You might still include your unarmed attack proficiency on those attack rolls though. Should be +5 for level, +2 or +4 for trained or expert proficiency, and +DEX or +STR whichever is higher.

Edit: Checked Champion progression. They get expert in unarmed at level 5.

No way.

The Pathbuilder software may fail me ... but not K10!!!

No way.
So then it's correct, right?
+5 LEVEL
+4 EXPERT
+4 DEX

That should be correct.

If you add a 'fist' weapon on Pathbuilder, it should have the right attack bonus.

And then the -4 that is part of this particular skill challenge - which you already included.

Thanks, Fern. Now I have that song from the Labyrinth stuck in my head.

@Yasami - I can totally use something else for Catalina's native tongue going forward. I didn't catch that detail about Yasami before, otherwise, I'd have used a different language haha.

Don't worry about it. We'll have to act like we don't understand each other.

I try to find phrases from the actual Romani dialect, anyway.

HOWEVER, it seems like Varisian is one of the big languages in Ustalav, so ... we kind of could understand each other.

Ustalav

(Nation)

Titles
The Immortal Principality of Ustalav
The Nation That Was

Alignment
Neutral evil

Capital
Caliphas

Ruler
Prince Aduard Ordranti III

Government
Loose confederacy of counties

Demonym
Ustalavs

Adjective
Ustalavic

Languages
Common, Skald, Varisian

Religions
Desna, Pharasma, Urgathoa

Yeah, that's actually why I went with Romanian! We could just be totally different dialects. Some commonalities, but not enough for fluent understanding. When I was living in Italy, I learned Italian from Northerners and when I went to Southern Italy, the dialect was so different sometimes that it was difficult to understand lol. So, it works!
