Is it just me...or does it seem like James and Wes are size tiny outsiders with diametrically opposed alignments whispering into the ears of hapless GMs? "Be a kind Gentle GM and give them a retcon!" "No, no, send terrible outsiders to spy on them and hunt them down!" :-)

.

Shoulder angels???

Arcanis guys arcanis..... Really awesome skill based system that covers everything. Other than that words of power

Honestly to me it lookedlike they were asking why a company would deny its customer base a product they buy, thus frocing someone to resort to less than legal means to aquire said product. They never said it was right which it isn't.

Hey I just read you guys game thread and it looks really interesting. I hope it picks up soon as you appear to have lost some people.

Umm so did you guys abandon the project??

In this regard, I have evidence, and proof, you have denial. Who wins in the end if this was a silly issue brought to court? me with proof, or you with denial?

That's what I thought, please move along Finn, your not welcome here anymore.

Ummm couple a things I do have evidence I have time stamped word save files that I copied to the forum from. And as to court all I have to prove is that there is a doubt to a jury of my peers and I would not be convicted as guilt "must be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt" please learn the law system before you ref it. As it is you never even asked if I had proof and of course now that I have said that I do you will doubtless accuse me of somehow altering it which is funny as I can't even really work win 7 yet.

Wow I missed that line in the edit. As the gold for my raven isn't even taken from that if you do the math and look back in the thread I had to ask kai for some gold back near start for the raven and a few other things but whatever you've made up your mind and even though your wrong you'll never admit it.

As to every one else bye and don't let the Will get you with his clerical errors. Have fun and good luck with the brotherhood.

Yeah but I didn't have them anymore. So shouldn't I have removed them from my sheet Will?? Wow I just got kicked from a bpb for promt record keeping.

Okay so I just got off work and saw this.
I did have those on my sheet. Remember I told you that my final update to my character sheet wouldn't be made until after the game started because of work. Why would I lie about that all they do is give the grog a more potent flavor.

Hey if there's killing to be done finn wants in on it. And hey what can I say I came up with good fluff for finn. I really need to write out his backstory. But I wasn't really world sure so I didn't wanna jump to conclusions and have will smack me.

*goes to the meeting and listens quietly*

Greetings Olek can we take care of what we talked about earlier after the captin is done?

So captian what would you have us do then??

*edit* spent 1 gp on it cause ot the conversion from sliver to gold standard

Okay sorry to the druids in the party but as a player I couldn't help peeking when I saw the "seeds". So you guys like my little flavor plot??

Maybe Will will make it be true. It would be an awesome side quests. I can see the title now. Just like in a video game lol.

Character

Finn

Quest Involved In

Main, Seeds of Yiggdrasill

*on hearing the orge and kyre finn bursts out in a roaring laugh*

Of course there will never be another end. Asguard is burned, Bifrost shattered, Muspielhiem just exploded at us, and here Midguard was brunt and now drowned in sorrow. The waters have not yet receded so something is wrong but, tis a new age we will find new foes to fight and grow strong against so that we may do our ancestors proud.

*drinks deeply of the grog and goes to find Kai*

So my friend how is that skin of Jihuld?? I want it back in the morning, that's my everyday drink. *lowers his voice* so how long do you think before yon lass and our sawbones get in to it for real??

Suny nods, "Aye, anything t' help put a tad more spice in't life." She winks with a grin.

"Um...whut's it dooo...?" She asks quietly, while both trying to direct people at setting things up and laying things out, as she eyes the pouch speculatively.

They are herbs my people put in the drink the night before battle. They increase its potency while preventing nasty mornings.

Remember Zedd says bring fear of you and your enforcement of the laws into play. When someone crosses you and the law allows take them break their mind and give them away as a present.

Well Finn, I will pay visit and convince you to be Evil :D I understand what you meant plus not wanting to be CE or able to play LE wizard.

Idea for me is just to ensure, that there is some kind of fighter to boost my back. Not necessarily to be stupid or chaotic. I am thinking more like "Master from shadows controlling the puppet with finest strings".

This is completely up to you and thinking of some nice color to story. Not forcing to attack etc, but time to time help me in some situations

No its not that I couldn't play the le wiz its that I just finished one up me and my crew just finished our game that has like 10 years of my life I need a break from super evil wizards lol

Also finn is not stupid rash but not stupid his int is his third highest stat. I learned dms won't let me dump int I'm to smart and I can't dumb myself do to a normal person d&d wise let alone a sub average int.

As for being evil he may not flip over but he would work for and with you as long as you don't break his rules.

** spoiler omitted **

Olek accepts the seeds, puts them in a pouch of his own and into a pocket and signals to Finn to lean down before he whispers:
** spoiler omitted **

*rumbles I will come find me before you do this I must offer a bit of my own blood to speed their growth that is what the druid said. I miss the lore keepers and runecasters of my tribe I find that I sometimes feel lost with out their tails and songs to guide me. Still the Alfaders will guides me

*wanders down to Avions cabin to wait*

Okay for the ash seeds they are as far as I as the player knows just the best ash seeds our local druid had and what he thought of them. But that is the story he told finn when he gave them to him. So if they are "special that's up to will. Finns a little crazy and overly zealous with his beliefs so he will guard those seeds well being with his life and everyone on the ships as well.

Olek turns around, surprised and holding a piece of wood. He did not think that anyone had noticed him, except Nerine of course. He had noticed she kept watch on how the situation was evolving and he trusted her to take the reasonable action, should it come to that, to insure that a possible fight wouldn't escalate and somehow fudge the whole mission. He had assumed that everyone was too caught up in the whole duel buisness to notice him, but alas the giant was standing there now, asking him about plants.

"Oh hello Finn. I didn't see you there. Plants, yes. I am assigned with taking care of the vegetation we have braught with us from our homeworld. Why do you inquire me about plants, my friend? What do you wish to know?

*rumbles I have some seeds from what our lore keeper said were scions of the World Ash, The Gallows Tree, or Yiggdrasil if you will. I have been charged with planting a seed every place I found land and I thought planting one on the ship might be usefull. Ash is supposed to ward off ill things.

*pulls out a pouch from near his heart and opens it deftly plucking out a single seed. You can see it is rather large for an ash seed with perfect color and shap,e but other than that it is no diffrent than normal. He offers it to you.*

Maybe if this does well we could start a nursery onboard?? I was told if they were all planted then the world tree would grow anew from the most noble of them.

Hey I'm the one you need to save here.

Also can we put a planter on board so I can grow a tree. Please its important to finn.

Also captain just in case you were wondering that was a some advice and a vote of support but also a reminder that should some one challenge you to change the "rules" finn won't interfere on either side unless he sees some do something he thinks violates the duel.

I'm a botanist. That's what I do. I have a "garden" for a cabin.

Sweet gonna have to vist you

I don't intend to duel anyone my friend just make sure the rules are observed now you get that back to me in the morning alright??

*goes to catch olek before he slips off the boat*

Olek I have a question for you. You take care of the plants right??

No Avion it wouldn't be 2 on 1 it would be on your undead and her against you and should one of them fell her you will fight me after. I don't know much about these powers some of you have but at home it was agreed that when runecasters dueled that only what was called during the duel was to be used in it. And being that's she's not a runecaster and that you still have your powers that is only fair otherwise your undead would win and I would have to free them from your control

It doesn't bother me I just want to try to stay netural right now the way finn is both personality and build wise I don't want things to get too heated cause some one would die :( so he will try to keep the peace if not the status quo. He isn't really loyal to any side right now other than his own and he's not even sure what that is. And no offense Avion I don't want to slip to the CE side of things. The only reason I didn't play evil this time was I didn't want to play the le master wizard again so soon.

*bounces up and down*

*sings*

We's gon'a have some Ruum! We's gon'a have some Ruum! We's gon'a have some Ruum! We's gon'a have some Ruum!

*bounces up and down some more*

(^_^)

I have better it only makes enough for one person a day though.

*hands kai a wine skin*

Here try this my friend it is far better than rum is jihud is my own supply enjoy my friend

*wanders toward the aft railing*

Finn will support the captian (thane) until some one drags him down for being too weak. Finn will however make sure this is a fair challange by the rules as he sees them. Also he will not challange the captain as he doesn't care to have to take care of everyone himself

Bye Josh be safe and have fun where ever you go and what ever you and may success always find you.

*looks at Nerine*

May I help you with anything?? I can carry heavy lumber for you easily

*looks at Avion and murmurs later

Okay sorry folks was sleeping mind if I retcon a bit??

When Avion makes his challenge.
*finn rumbles out Avion I'll not have you dishonor the memory of the gods, these once living, and the dead Enjher like that. If you face this girl you will face her alone with none of these things or I will have to help. Thus Odins would say when I find him.*

*Packs his cleaning supplies away and walks over to the captain. And points at the gunCaptain what is this thing?? Also if some one challenges your authority I will fight for you. But as a good Thane if two people cannot agree on something and must fight it out you must let them, lest some else challenge you for your position. But I do agree with you there is a time, a place, and a way to do such things properly, this is none of them.

I like it tri keep us posted

In other other news kai I'm glad zahras back

Finn: Not sure I follow you. Save you and your bird?

Kai pretty much has it Will and the druids onboard are the best people to do it. As most viking priests were closer to druids than clerics Finn is more likely to relate to them. And damit I am happily netural at the moment although Avion could swing to the evil side of things very easily such as by encouraging me to act out on the anger inside. (Rage). And other not so pretty things.

"Space? SPACE? Is that our primary concern, Captain?" Kyre is clearly in a temper fast approaching livid, but striving to control herself. "I do not see these 'extra hands' being any use to the health or the sanity of our crew, sir. Right now, the only thing keeping their murderous intentions in check is the whim of a man who has plainly allied himself with the patron of murder himself! Lest we forget, the first we knew of them was an unprovoked attack! Without even casting aspersions on our ship's surgeon, I can tell you that for as long as such abominations are permitted on this ship, our safety will depend on redoubling our watch - so that we can keep an eye out for threats from off the ship and on it!"

In the course of this tirade, pitched so that the entire ship can hear it, Kyre is taking a position amidships, and swapping out her bow for her shield and spear...

Chuckles in a deep booming laugh. Ha Ha hahaha. Your worried about these things granted they are disgusting, but they are no threat and besides with the gods gone and Vahalla in ruins where else do the dead have to rest?? Atleast this way they can help us.

*makes it to the bow and begins cleaning and sharpening his massive rune-carved broadsword then proceeds to his breastplate while he waits on Avion*

With much dismay to his apparent skill with a blade, he twirls the cutlass once, and slips it back from whence it came, wishing it'd left him a body to inspect. Instead, he receives a sinister phrase from the surgeon, and gives him a wide smirk.

"Of that you are uncertain - I gladly appreciate the aid you had given me, Avion, though I had no need of it. Regardless, do not think a good deed goes unknown - I will remember you had aided me from sliding off my own boat. As for your new companions, we are already packed for space - they can remain on-deck, and do physical labor, but that's all I can afford."

He winks firmly, and moves by Suny with a grin - a knowing grin that he'd have been fine. He does however, stop and pat Suny on the shoulder.

"If you wish to speak, come with me to the helm! I must ensure everyone is fine and that the Brotherhood is in fine shape."

His feet take him up to the helm, and he looks over the whole boat's sails and body from here. He takes a moment to walk along the railings, and comes over by his quartermaster.

"Kai, have you anything to report, besides the obvious? Any happenings that I may have missed?"

*walks by the captian eh they were easy didn't even have ta work up a berserk*

*walks over to Avion. walk with if you would heads to the foresection of the ship*

Ummm guys didn't will say the monsters go first this round and to wait on his post for them??

I am currently running my players through an adventure that takes place mostly in the desert in a pseudo-Egyptian culture. With that in mind, I wanted to create a race of desert dwellers based on the Anubis. Here is my attempt. Let me know what you think.

Melee khopesh +2 (1d8+1/19-20) and
bite -3 (1d4)

Ranged shortbow +3 (1d6/×3)

Statistics

Base Atk +1; CMB +2; CMD 14

Feats Skill Focus (Survival)

Skills Perception +7, Stealth +7, Survival +7 Racial Modifiers Perception +2, Stealth +4

SQ desert weapons, jackal blood

Ecology

Environment warm plains or desert

Organization solitary, pair, hunting party (2–5 anubis and 1–2 dogs), band (10–100 adults plus 50% noncombatant children, 1 sergeant of 3rd level per 20 adults, 1 leader of 4th–6th level, and 5–8 dogs), or tribe (20–200 plus 1 sergeant of 3rd level per 20 adults, 1 or 2 lieutenants of 4tl, 1 leader of 6th–8th level, 7–12 dogs, and 4–7 riding dogs)

Treasure NPC Gear (leather armor, khopesh, shortbow with 20 arrows, other treasure)

Desert Weapons (Ex) An anubis is proficient in flails, heavy flails, scimitars, khopeshes and shortbows.

Jackal Blood (Ex) Due to their connection with the wily jackal, anubes gain a +2 racial bonus on saves against sleep effects, a +2 racial bonus to Perception and a +4 racial bonus to Stealth.

Not that it matters...

Works unless they are supposed to be pcs in which case they are a little better that standard. Mind if I steal??

Inside Vordakai's headband of mental prowess, or another one of his magic items - best choice is the one the PCs will be most loathe to destroy.

Of course, it should also be protected with sufficient spells and misdirections that it has no evil aura, and no different magic aura than would be expected for an item of its type. The PCs should not realise it actually is his phylactery until long after they've grown accustomed to relying on it. The look in our ranger's eyes when learned he'd have to destroy his favourite bow was priceless.

Nope in a holy whatever weapon the "good" aura given off by the weapon masks his lower lvl evil one

For. Real life storm fire try googling st. Elmos fire

Balance Check:1d20+4

Are you confusing a balance check with a reflex saving throw? Yes, you can continue to make balance checks even while prone. The ship is in heavy waves, you can slide and move around whether your on two feet, or your bum.

Offical text: A Balance check doesn’t require an action; it is made as part of another action or as a reaction to a situation.

okay so i'm mildly confused so please roll for me this round will and i will join in next as im in and out of the hospital with my aunt right now and have to work should return to normal tomorrow
