POst monster strikes again?
And always when you DIDN'T copy it, just in case,... ;P

honorable enemy sort of way, and they give Hamar pointers on what to expect on the Abyssal plains. The Drow end up being fascinating as well, very different in mindset than any other beings Hamar has met. Towards the end of the night as the gnolls lope off to their quarters the two Drow proposition Hamar, inviting him to their room[/i]

Yep. Zogonia does have it's moments. :)

Hah, that's one I hadn't seen before.
Zogonia. I have the collection. So great
I only have one book of Zogonia, and I like it. But there are others I like more.
Speaking of, I don't do podcasts, but I discovered that the Adventure Zone podcast was being written and made into graphic novel format. And IT IS FUNNY. They have the first 3 books done so far.
Ima keep buying those as long as they make 'em. Just sayin', :)
Plus, who wants to live forever hey?
We're at the point in the adventure where someone could yell "Hey lady, nice t&*~!" and bring the adventure to a sudden halt :D
<Facepalm> You should really stop giving people ideas. :P
I'm kind of glad that our old buddy Drazek the warlock isn't still around. THAT seems like something he might actually do!
(I'm not saying that Justin wouldn't THINK about it, but he's far less likely to actually DO it than say,... Draz.) ;P
Lol
Leveling Blayze to 11 (Paladin 9)
+1 BAB
+1 Reflex
Mercy (Poisoned: The paladin’s lay on hands ability also acts as neutralize poison, using the paladin’s level as the caster level.)
+1 1st level spell per da
I guess my puzzle attempt fizzled
Well, Goblins DO 'love' revenge! ;P
I guess my puzzle attempt fizzled
Nah. More like I suck at puzzles in general! :P
Honestly, the ONE thing I Do NOT miss about 1st Ed. The neverending stream of 'traps and puzzles' books that would come out. Because the traps had no way to actually avoid them back then, (EVERY trap was a TPK waiting to happen) and the puzzles all had to be figured out by the players, because skills didn't exist yet. So if the player couldn't figure it out,... oh well! ;P
At least you give us a chance! :)
Hamar's eyebrows raise at the price, "12,000 spiders? The spiders are even trade here? Where does one keep 12,000 live spiders to trade?"
"I'll take all of it..." Casts Creeping Doom
Huh.
You know, Justin REALLY can't argue with Merle about that statement. ;P
(Side quest thread) ;)
C’mon now. The definition of adventure is someone else in deep s#%@ half a world away ...
LOL,...
<Everyone who has ever lived in Sigil> "Only half a WORLD away? Pansies."
;P
SORRY, for the wait,
At long last CHAPTER 8 IS UP! :)
(I have GOT to try breaking it into smaller chunks. Maybe it will go faster that way?) ;P
FYI- I actually have to WORK work tomorrow, (Holding the university pageant,) So it will be a long day for me.
Probably see everyone on Monday!
Have a happy!
A brief discussion on Divinity and their thirst for favors
When talking about value in a Planescape setting, one has to remember that most items of value in a Prime Material setting are somewhat less valuable in a planar setting. As you saw in your interaction with Pando, there are places where the beaches are literally strewn with gemstones. However, out of a need for money the older forms are observed, although specie money acts more like fiat money.
A god or a high-powered entity cares little for wealth, except as a means to an end. Many of them could wish themselves a pile of gold. So, they tend to trade in favors. Favors act like stocks in a way. They tend to increase in value as the giver increases in power. They can also crash and become worthless if the giver dies (although in Planescape death is a flexible concept). They can also serve as an insurance policy. If you hold someone’s favor, you basically don’t have to worry about them attacking you.
Most favors divinities deal with are magically binding. These aren’t the ‘I’ll come over and help you paint you fence’ type of favors. There are usually rituals and contracts to sign. Geas is involved.
Just a heads up - should you agree to give Nekrotheptis a favor.
Also - this is your first interaction with a proxy, I believe (well, Arkhan the Cruel is basically a proxy for Tiamat, but other than that I don’t think you’ve met any yet)
And I wasn't (intentionally!) dealing with Tiamat! :P
A brief discussion on Divinity and their thirst for favors,....
Just a heads up - should you agree to give Nekrotheptis a favor.
Thank you!
And, I have to admit, that does make sense.
If you have 'The Midas Touch', for example, what possible need do you have for people giving you gold?!
{I'd like to try and find out! I mean I'd like people to give me gold. But otherwise, ...) ;P

Also, does anyone else find it mildly amusing that the high-Intelligence Chaotic Good character signed the contract immediately, while the average-Intelligence Lawful Evil character was like, "nope." Both responses are in character, it's just kind of funny in meta-game terms. Part of why I like Planescape so much.
In addition, outside of the game itself, please bear with me-- work season has started back up, so I'm generally not going to be posting responses as quickly as I was over the winter.

You walk the Path of Mulch. May it bring you wealth

Yep, gotta agree.
High intelligence, average Wisdom. (On a good day. Which he hasn't had in a while) ;PI just luv the group itself, teh rules are great but I enjoy how we just do what feels right (or just fun) without regard for whatever alignment we claim to follow at PC generation. :)

I was talking more about Hamar, but Justin counts as well...
Just because characters share an alignment doesn't mean they're going to get along, and the reverse is true for characters of opposing alignment.
LOL, yeah I always read (and usually respond) to the chat threads first, before the main game thread, So I got that finally. :)
Blayze can't. She can make sure her companions come through this alive and try to ensure their success to ensure they make it out of this alive. She can participate by making her actions about her companions, not a deal with an evil entity.

This is pretty much why Hamar did. Well that and the fact that he does not really know the consequences of the act nor does he care.

Well Karrin was going to offer to sign it but if Justin, Hamar, and Memmon have all agreed to sign that means she's free from any contracts.
You are forgetting your contract with Veria? She still holds that favor
LOL,
Justin is REALLY hoping he doesn't have to give the GM more free plot hooks, ..., I mean sign (another) contract. ;P
But he will if he has to. But dangit, hes also a 'noble gentleman' and he'll be darned if he asks a lady (even a bada$$ like karrin) to sign a contract that he won't! ;P
I luv character development,... ;)
