We are home for Thanksgiving!

... lacking sleep (feeding a literal "cry-baby" every two-hours, more or less ;P), but home!

Family coming over tomorrow, and my oldest boy will finally be back with his mommy and daddy and with his little brother all the time! WOOOOO~!

... I'm still hecka on hiatus right now. Sorry. (Only marginally, though, 'cause we're home!)

:D

"<Run: exhortation.encouragement> Let's get you up and going! We have some gremlins to see to..." Wicket adds as they finally open their eyes.

Can't guarantee access to a PC. GM still has permission/etc. to 'bot me, as needed. Thanks GM! ... except for the seventeen checks! C'mon! I totally woulda made 'em! Especially Appraise! Best! Skill! Ever! ;p

By the way, although I think I had assumed it was obvious, GM, please 'bot me. Use Rywokit to the full extent of his abilities and knowledge to help sort this stuff out, and generally do what's best for everybody: it's what he'd be doing anyway! Thanks!

Thread for the curious!

Baby boy: get!

Baby incoming today!

I forgot to post in this one! As some may know, my wife is currently in the hospital. Don't worry: we're all fine, and things should return to normal soon, but any lack of posting is due to real life interruptions! :)

Prayers are always appreciated! :D

Thanks!

Thats pretty much the only reason Rywy volunteered. Alas, we're without our faces! :(

"<Process: Situation> Very well, Lazur. I can confirm that there is a tunnel over here. I will tie the rope to them, then go with you and assist you, as I am unable to effectively remove them myself."

I'm sorry, Raven! Hope it gets better soon!

Um... I thought that Rywy had already cleared the mold? That's why I rushed ahead... I mean, even with a 8 Wisdom, Analise wouldn't rush ahead and risk unconsciousness...

I think it's a question of interpretation and order of events. Since Locke was suggesting a potentially much faster option, and you suggested that you just walk out before that idea had been resolved... I think it was interpreted that Rywy burned, maybe, a 5ft. path while Locke was talking about a rope thing and you and Allen walked out into the mold. It'd take Rywy something like 24 to 34 minutes to clear the room of the mold, though only eight minutes to make a line/path. I think the GM will be amenable to a slight retcon, but I'm not sure.

Don't worry, GM! I'll totally 'bot you! >:D
...
...
... in Gob Smash One, of course. Yes. That is certainly what I meant. >.>

(Oh, yeah, and enjoy, or whatever! ;D)

"<Run: hurried wording> Okay, but, uh, wait just a minute!" Wicket says as he quickly runs over and drags the two of them out of the cold.

Ah, cool! I forgot that! We're cool, then. Mostly, I just didn't want you to lack your stuff! :D

Also, to add words, you "i" in the column of weird symbols on the left of the screen, click it for options, and fool around with those. :D (You still can't get the GM's stuff, though, only your own.)

Oh, hey, Locke! Don't forget your stuff! It's still next to the lake!

Arg! Slow forum response + goblins! Original post:

HAHAH! Nice.

WIS/Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 9 EDIT: nope, he notices nothing.

"<Process: reassurance> No offense taken, Jack." Rywy assures him. "As I said, it is only the most basic. My apologies I have nothing stronger in cold."

After reading your post, I went ahead and read the spoiler to understand. I'm not affected by non-lethal damage, disease, or poison, though I'm not immune to cold, necessarily. I could, then, hypothetically just walk there and back, if we wanted.

"<Run: assistance> I can actually provide the cold energy to negate this, if that is what it takes." Rywokit tells them. "It does not require any limited resources on my part. This is the most basic of magic."

Wicket casts the spell several times in succession at the brown dust.

Attack?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Attack?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Attack?: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Does that work? It's not area of effect, so I don't know how it interacts with mold. He can do this more or less all day, as it's at-will cantrip Ray of Frost, so it doesn't cost any resources. Let me know.

EDIT: for a bit-more in-character clarity and a further note on his ability.

INT to Aid Another: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
WIS to Aid Another: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Rywokit does what he can to help others figure stuff out, by straining his mind to come up with anything he might have heard of like this before, and quietly mentioning it, in the hopes it might spark a memory.

EDIT: Pretty sure Rywokit does absolutely nothing to help. Fortunately, he can't actually hinder anyone else's check, 'cause sheesh.

Mostly I was just trying to give time and space to the GM to respond. After he checks, Wicket generally goes with Jack. :) EDIT: Also, I've previously asked the GM what he wants. But, since it's too late to edit, if he'd rather a dice roll than taking something: Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Rywokit is totally eager to explore the Cut-off first, and do so carefully. Rubble is the perfect place for hiding treasure! As are holes! Un-melted candles! And tiles! :D

Rywy absently thinks of Val while magically scanning the pile of silverdisks and surrounding area.
Appraise: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13 How much are they worth?
Knowledge (arcana): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 Anything magical?
Knowledge (engineering): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Anything technological?
Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 6 Anything at all?
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 If magical, in what way?

Consider those as "Aid Another" checks if anyone rolls the same but better.

Are Wicket's previous Perception to Aid Another (a 9, so a failure), Disable Device (16), and Stealth (17) still functioning after the Silverdisks, or should I re-roll those?

EDIT: I've no idea how much a silver disk is worth (or any coppers that I see lying around, for that matter), I'm pretty sure nothing is magical, especially the detect magic spell that I'm using, I know all about engineering stuff, I see nothing by my own internal monologue, and I can very clearly explain what that clearly non-magical effect is and what it's doing. I'm a helper, you guys!

"<Run: minor boast> I was noted as actually being relatively skilled at the academy - not in finding traps, per se, but in disabling them - despite completely lacking any training. Usually, I had a spotter, however. Still, I will help how I can."
.
.
Perception (Aid Another): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (9) + 0 = 9 to find the traps.
EDIT: duh, sorry
Disable Device: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Stealth: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

I tell the others, like a boss!

Appraise: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 Might as well use the worst skill while I have it...
EDIT: Holy crap! I appraise the daylights out of that agate!
Dang it! Where are these rolls when I want to hit something?! ;p :D

Rywokit Aids Another, and then, depending on what they find, follows.

NICE Goo-be-gone, Locke!

:(

I hope that gets better soon, Raven!

Alternate-alternate One-liner (which I was planning to post earlier, but ran out of time):

We're so winning this fight, you guys!

Alternate One-liner:

Yes but we roll it heroically!

Wicket heroically casts Ray of Frost again!

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6, Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Someone's 40k is showing. =)

Believe it or not, it's not actually mine. It's true: I'm a (40k) poseur. :/ :)

However! I've associated enough with folk that do play that I'm aware of many of the tropes, idioms, saying, etc. that arise from it. I played one of the games for a while - at the house of a friend of mine - and, much later, went on periodic research binges to learn a bit about the worlds and set ups. Hence, the quotation. :D

The rest of you can act now! Go forth and kill the slime!

"Burn the Heretic. Kill the Mutant. Purge the Unclean."

"<Process: threat> It seems to be some sort of living mold! It is attacking us! Beware, fleshy friend!" Wicket warns.

Not knowing what they are, Wicket quickly tries to cast Ray of Frost!

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13, Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

EDIT: fixed "[spoiler=Damage]" to "[dice=Damage]" - I'm so good at coding, you guys!

Rywokit stays back, spell at the ready... though he's not sure if Ray of Frost would do any good in whatever situation this is.

"<Run: guesswork> I'd have assumed it grew over it when the body died... but you may be correct." says Wicket.

Hey! You take that back! I'm slow! Ooh! In my face!

... wait.

Why is no one onliiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeeeeeeee...?
(I wanna update, I wanna update, I wanna update, I wanna update...!)
/whine
:P :D

Awesome, thanks GM. Also, all: I tell you guys this.^

"<Process: clarify and affirm> Of course I am with you, Analise, but follow which instincts, and go to which things? The mounds? They seemed neither arcane nor technological."

GM, I don't think I said, but I certainly intended for Rywy to be using detect magic everywhere he goes (hence the Spellcraft check). Is it possible to presume that, or should he start that now?

Awesome. While we're waiting, if the water is low enough, Wicket will briefly - stealthily, hopefully - creep around through the water just to make sure it wraps all the way around to their entry point. There are a few nooks and crannies that are kind of dark, too, that he'd look into, checking for traps and magic.

.

EDIT: To be clear, Wicket goes veeeeery slooowwwly. He takes his time on everything. He's not interested in setting things off against his friends: he wants to stop that, not start it. If he finds anything - anything at all - he reports back to his friends asap, and does not engage, unless he has no choice.

"<Process: answer> Thank, you, Jack. Arcanist. Taught hey Konnir himself, though he used more traditional wizardry."

"<Run: humor protocol> I have decided that I do not like this Zyphus. He sounds like a doofus." Wicket explains.

Rywy is mostly treating it casually. He knows how emotional these fleshy kinds are. (Nevermind the fact that he's experiencing emotions himself.) He sees nothing unusual. He's just wondering "why". EDIT:

"<Process: value> Oh, uh, and you fleshy types might enjoy these potions. They'll heal your bodies of limited wounds."

Knowledge (engineering): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 In case that's needed.
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17 Detect magic and spellcraft on the fluid, my guess.
Wicket will leave the money alone for now.

"<Run: describe> Strange fluid here, that I am going to research. Also, I do not recognize this fellow. Perhaps we can use the funds he had on him to pay for the funerals of both himself and the half-orc."

"<Run: query> Who or what is Zyphus, and why does it matter what happens to that moderately valuable silver jewelry?" it asks the outraged android.

"<Process: Victory> We won!" notes Wicket. "Excellent."

Looking around, it quickly attempts to assess or assist its friends.

"<Run: Aid Protocol> Do... you need help?" it asks.

WIS/Heal: 1d20 ⇒ 5 To help if he can at all make other comfortable.

"<Process: Gratitude> Thank you, Locke." Rywokit notes. "Excellent job, even while blind."

Aid Another: 1d20 ⇒ 16
General Aid Another checks are offered for anything anyone is doing. If no one else needs his assistance...

Rywokit walks over to the body to thoroughly check it and him out.

"<Process: Examination> I wonder who this is." Rywokit would search thoroughly for any signs of identification.

Appraise: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 I have to use it for something. :P
Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 4 Or, if I can, take 10.

EDIT: DANG-it, why do all my 20s suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck? Looks like I can't make anyone comfortable (what would a little wooden man know of flesh-type comforts anyway?), nor can I see anything around the dead person. :/
But I know exactly how valuable the stuff that I can't find is! (Dang it.)

As Jack demands someone hit it, Rywokit's small beam of cold does so.
"<Run: celebration> I did it!" cries Rywy triumphantly. The creature, feeling only the most minor of pinches swivels its head toward the small wooden creature. "<Process: attention> Uh-oh." the small wooden man says, thinking about the importance of fiber in a regular diet.

EDIT:

"<Process: tactical advice> Swing to your left, Locke!" calls Wicket. "<Run: correction> No, your other left!" he adds, after the barest second has passed.

EDIT 2: Technically, Locke goes before Rywokit, however since he wasn't sure he wanted to attack for fear of hitting Jack, I figure Wicket might be able to call out to him to swing at this point. Kind of like if he delayed his action.

Rywokit would take a five-foot step back and cast a mighty* ray of frost once again!

Ray of Frost Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

* Haha!
EDIT: to add my rolls, and adjust coding a hair.

Nice! I've got dozens of weird things floating around in my brain, so it's always easy for me to blend rule sets. Plus, we generally don't use grid play (making a number of harder rules more fluid by default), so we end up with unconscious house rules. It's pretty awesome that you're nearly a 4-star! Congrats! :D
