Hi y'all. Given how far behind I am, I think your decision to replace me is probably a good one. It's not a particularly easy feeling for me, seeing as I've been in this game since the beginning and it's the longest running pbp I've taken part in (nearly four years), but it will take me a considerable amount of energy to catch up, and it's not really fair to make you all wait for me. So yea, good luck Storyteller Shadow.
Hrmm, I think I still need to get around to updating my equipment from the wealth boost we got a few real-life weeks ago. I'll try doing that this weekend. Although I'll be out for almost the entire day tomorrow due to a conference.
inside: Though he had remained quiet through most of the discussion, the Cold Sun's eyes shift rapidly as the creatures assume the forms of dragons.
"I am not pleased to align myself with one who speaks so lightly of torture, nor am I convinced that your shapeshifting powers prove you are who you claim. Nonetheless, if you can win the support of my comrades, then you will have mine as well, for I promised to aid them for as long as my chief permits me. "
Hopefully it will get better. I've been through rough patches with my family and recovered. Though, I've also had rifts with extended family that were never mended, so ya never know.
Ah, I see the discussion thread is now the latest paladin thread. Although it has a ways to go before becoming the Objectively Best alignment thread.
"I am content to remain for the moment as well."
Sorry for my radio silence. Most of my time for the last few days has been spent moving my little family into a new home. I'm trying to get caught up on all my games. Did the move go well?
Not sure which skill will help? Make a Knowledge: Acrobatics check!
"Yet it seems Tal has stood the test of time for even longer than the monolith."
Vaard (and Ashshar) is going to get his Breastplate of the Dragon Turtle fairly soon. Since no one else expressed interest, I'm claiming it. At least for the moment, until Vaard (and Ashshar) is going to get his Breastplate of the Dragon Turtle fairly soon. ...that.
I'm not sure Vaard can use many of those items. I could possibly use the Shawl if there is abundant out-of-combat healing, since I don't have anything in the cloak slot. Vaard could definitely use the Boneless Leather, though. And the ring of protection that everyone can use. Probably would be best if I took the leather armor. Vaard doesn't have much use for a sword with his claws and teeth.
It is a relief, and a slightly strange feeling, to think that finally they will return to civilization and leave the jungle behind. Although for the cold sun it is less a relief than a feeling of impending adventure.
With one foe down, Vaard swims towards the other one.
A little late for Christmas...
Ten fingered warforgeds? Get to work on it, gnomes! Although if a giant intelligent crab can figure out how to type with just one claw, surly a three-fingered intelligent magic-robotic war machine can manage, right?
The cold sun gets ready to confuse the nearest fish.
Spoiler:
Discipline: Steel Serpent (Boost); Level: 1
Initiation Action: 1 swift action Range: Next melee attack or ranged attack Target: One creature Duration: Instant Saving Throw: Fort negates By focusing his ki onto a weapon, the disciple readies a spiritual poison which dizzies and confuses the minds of his foes. After initiating this boost, the next melee or ranged attack that the disciple makes staggers his foe for 1 round. In addition, if the target fails a Fortitude save (DC 11 + initiation modifier), the target also suffers 2 points of Wisdom damage. This is a supernatural ability. He then allows his body to sink a bit...
...before biting and clawing at the creature.
Ya know, I'm realizing that one of the biggest limiting factors of the warlord class is that so many things consume a swift action. Oh well. These fish can't be that much tougher than Kal...right?:P
As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to inspire a tactical advance on the field of battle. This allows you and each of your allies within 30 feet to take either a single move action of the character's choice or a 5-foot step, as long as you or your ally has the ability to take such an action (for example, an unconscious character still can't take an action). The action granted by this ability doesn't count toward the number or type of actions a creature is allowed to take on its turn. Heeding his own advice, the lizardfolk swims northeast until he is just above the fish, before lashing out with his teeth.
FYI, I will be working overtime tomorrow, so I might not post until late in the evening, if at all. Things should be back to normal Thursday.
Vaard will start at M9 at 15 feet.
"She would have wanted her lair to be clear for herself. Clear visibility to a dragon may not mean clear visibility to a soft-skin, especially underwater."
I lost track of xp as well.... "Pooma was saying that he knows the location of Kalaktua's lair. Which, naturally, will house Kal's colossal+ grandparents who will devour us immediately:P
As Tal's power heals him, Vaard turns to his non-reptilian companions.
With formalities aside, Vaard joins his fellow lizardfolk in the dismemberment of Kalaktua's corpse.

Stepping forwards himself he hurls a javelin at the dragon: though his aim is off today.
Okay I think I'm caught up.
Wait, I must have forgotten about that:P What "lines" are ya referring to?
To all my games:
Vaard climbs up out of the water, and rallies his comrads to fight!
Rally:
As a swift action, you can expend one use of mythic power to rally your allies. This gives you and each of your allies within 30 feet the option to reroll any one d20 roll after the roll is made. The granted reroll must be used before the beginning of your next turn, and the creature must take the result of the reroll, even if it is lower. He then throws his javelin at the beast:
Vaard swims south to get closer to his allies.
Vaard will swim southeast as fast as he can, away from Kal!
Gah, I hate having 5+ hour phone calls about family issues. All seems to be settled now...I hope.
I'm assuming his claw does either slashing or piercing damage - if not, he doesn't take this damage. The cold sun reals in pain, but manages to keep his baring. Given how much Kalaktua managed to hurt him in such a short time, though, he is far from confident in his ability to survive another six seconds.
Vaard hops his way next to the beast, taking extra care to avoid leaving himself vulnerable.
He then spends a moment meditating on his left claw, preparing to release a blast of ki from a bite.
Dizzying Venom Prana:

He then swipes as hard as he can at Kalaktua!
Okay, see ya next week!
Vaard is hoping to pull back after getting one debuffing strike in. Or, barring that, just run back without getting a hit in if necessary.[/ooc]
Vaard moves to the edge of the dock, and prepares to fight.
Can you get thefakethom to post for therealthom?
DM: What would Ashshar and Vaard know about Kalaktua's patterns for when she attacks, if anything?
"I would hesitate to flee immediately if it means leaving my tribe in danger of an extra enraged Kalaktua. Given that many of our group are better adapted to land, I concur with Wultram that we ought to avoid fighting the dragon turtle in the water. Nevertheless, she is far from weak on land."
Both, most likely. I didn't expect that thread to launch into a flame war.
