True. But it's still polite to say so. Or to make the game inactive.
We also both asked him several times about optimization, and his answer was to push the boundaries.

Ixi will look adorable.
Ixi will roll his eyes at the idea of hiding now. Now that Eglian has become big enough, he will settle on his shoulder. That being the proper place for a shoulder dragon. This way he makes Eglian look much more impressive, while Ixi's cuteness makes him look accessible.
"Greater invisibility? That one's hardcoded in my genes. Plus, it's nigh-useless against divination or blindsight. Impenetrable Veil is much more useful for hiding. Longer lasting, too. Nine Lives is also quite generally useful as well. Give me a second, I wouldn't want your casting to be wasted." He will turn off his Antimagic Ward before any casting.
Ixi will fly along beside Eglian as his psychic sidekick.
As they were shopping, the two ran into each other occasionally, as they ended up at the same shops looking for the same items. Not enough that they seemed to merely be copying each other, but enough to confirm that great mind think alike. Ixi doesn't seem surprised at the transformation, but that's because he already saw Egalian's true form within his other shape. He watches the flipping cards and possibilities with glee. "Oh, I think I'm ready for anything."
I did look at it. Eh, it's not his cup of tea.
You are asking somebody made as a companion to rich people to go shopping. Ixi is in heaven. I kept it at just under 1.8 million.

Well, more players means more waiting for that guy to post. We're roughly equal in power level*, so I say let's go. *though you don't hold a candle to me for kyuteness.
Well, we could probably have more friends without outrageous optimization. Or we could simply be the outrageously optimized duo. I could go either way.
**Ooh, travelling! A quick little jaunt would be fun.**
Let's give them one more day. Then go wild.
In his mind, he'll tell the disguised undead, the less cute dragon, and the quantum minotaur, **He's lying. I say we play along and then figure out what to do with the artifacts once we've got them. After all, if they were as tough as us they wouldn't need to hire us.**
"No, they tried a pitiful line, but marketing killed it off early. I'm bubbly!" There doesn't seem to be any offense taken. And since he's not the dragon being referred to, he doesn't move back. "hmm... The strange delays and forgetting things after a few moments... Were you revived after falling through the ice?" but he shakes his head, "But we should get back to Egalian's question." His voice changes to match Egalian's, "You tell us what the artifacts you retrieve are going to be used for and how you hope to keep them from 'falling into the wrong hands,' as you put it."
Ixi holds his breath as the newcomer sits silently without responding to the question. (Of course, he didn't need to breathe, but it was a habit. Very useful for gasping and showing that you are waiting in suspense) After waiting for what seemed like a week, he asks, "Are you okay Mister?" Since the robe seemed to prevent even enchanted eyes from seeing past it, he flies up, ready to peek his head in to see if there was anybody in there.
Egalian, Verinstal, and Schrodinger's Minotaur will all hear a telepathic voice in their heads, *You know, once we have the artifacts, we would then have leverage to determine whose hands he thinks are right.*
"Who would be the wrong hands and who would be the right hands?" he asks with a pointed finger. As he does so, he keeps a close watch on the figure to see what their reaction is.
...and yet he seems distracted as he realized he pointed with the wrong hand and points again, with his right hand.
Ixy looks around confused at the description, but when he sees Egalian smirk, he just nods along and tries to play it cool. Since the "Human" seems to know about negotiating, he lets him continue.
Great. I can't wait to get more people here.
He cocks his head at the newcomer. "Oh, I'm classified as a Fashion Accessory, Miscellaneous, Harmonized Tariff Schedule 7117.90.9000."
If you know somebody, that often turns out better. And more dragons are always better.
"I'm IxivixI, which means I'm a palindrome." As the new person sits down, he'll bend his head around to look under the hood. He'll address the newcomer, "By the way it's not raining in here."
Have we lost Aroci?
"Awww... how nice!" He'll flutter up to kiss the barmaid's cheek. After she leaves, he'll offer to share the food. "This is way too much for me. The food weighs more than I do! Feel free to share." He'll tear off a bit of the food for himself.
"Drink?" says the miniscule dragon as he dances tipsily around the table. "I drink I'll have a think."
He suddenly realizes that he can't see the barmaid anymore (having spun around to face the other way. He'll fall backwards, at which point he can see the barmaid again and everything is wonderful. "Bring me something sweet and colorful. Sweet and colorful just like you!
Okay, I'm updated.
Well, I would call cheese on that because spellcasting far in advance of your level would raise your CR. But since I'm not running, I'll use it. New stats when I get the chance to update it. 26th level spherecaster baby! Oh, and now my DR is epic, adamantine, slashing

And how did you do it?
I had 8 HD before going mythic. I actually changed it to just list DR Epic. If a weapon is +6, then it already bypasses adamantine. How do you have 20th level casting?!?
Sadly, I'm defeated by a foe much tougher. Time zones. It seems my only chance to play is going to be if one of my weekend games gets cancelled with enough warning to schedule a match.
I assume these are still EDT?
Okay, K'shthr'x is here. |
