River King discussion

[Rev Rosey]

He's not the ideal person to be on -11hp that's for sure. It might be time for Eglantine to get off the roof and start trying to set up a flank or two, but if that darned bear hits her again, she's probably a goner as well.

XP!

5 Satyr Raiders (lvl 5 skirmisher) @ 200 = 1000
1 Feyborn Cave Bear (lvl 5 elite brute) -- half-credit = 200
RP/PBP bonus for 350 posts = 1750

Total: 2950xp

Per PC: 2950/5* = 590xp

Cumulative total: 3750 + 590 = 4240xp (needed for 5th: 5500)

*I did not count Elias in the divisor, as the challenge of the fight was based on 5 PCs. However, all PCs are at the same xp level in my games, so Elias also gets the 590.

[JZ's Bren]

Yay, we survived !

And can Yomi ever forgive us?

[pat512]

Yep. You survived a 1400xp encounter -- a level 6 encounter for 6 PCs, but level 7 for 5!

[FabesMinis]

I guess we had all better literally dive in, and Eglantine better grab Yomi!

[Rev Rosey]

Eggers is on the case.

[pat512]

Hey, all. I'm off on an overseas business trip starting in about 14 hours, so communication will be spotty. I'm hoping for the best, but one never knows . . .

[JZ]

Have a safe, productive and fun trip !

[pat512]

Thanks!

[Radavel]

Take care, Pat.

Internet connection's been spotty since last. Rev, Pat, if you don's hear from me please DMNPC my characters as necessary.

[Rev Rosey]

Pat - have a safe trip and take care.
Rad - noted and not a problem.

[Pat o' the Ninth Power]

Got it, Radavel.

Again, thank you. Hanging out in the International Terminal in Chicago O'Hare . . .

[FabesMinis]

It's nice there. Well, I thought so. Nicer than JFK anyway.

Made it to Seoul. Ate various things I didn't recognize. Next stop, Thailand.

[pat512]

Blast! I didn't bring the module. Guess we're on hold for a few days (Wednesday or Thursday).

Sorry, folks, I know I've been running behind on this one anyway. I'll try to make it up with a good fight.

Divers:

Spoiler:

Take an AP, if I haven't already said. The others will get theirs when they come through the skill challenge.

[pat512]

Hey, all. I got in late last night after some 40 hours in transit. I gave myself today off, and hope to revitalize my games over the next few hours. Thanks for bearing with me.

[Rev Rosey]

Good to have you back. The journey sounds horrible though.

[Rev Rosey]

Apologies to you all if I'm rather sporadic in responding in the next day or so. Have hectic 24 hours coming up and have also been smitten with nasty bug which is making me feel a bit rubbish.

[Rev Rosey]

As you already know from a couple of other threads Pat, I'm away 14-21 February and likely to be short of internet access.

If Eglantine survives to be DMPCed, would you mind holding her hand?

[bmars3]

I will also be fairly sporadic in the next week or so. I'm getting married this weekend and honeymoon next week. Not sure what the internet will be like in Dominican Republic. Hopefully, I can keep up but if it's been a few hours feel free to DMPC me, encounter powers and all. I will definitely be back by Feb 23.

[pat512]

Thanks for the alert, and congratulations.

So we'll be missing Eglantine, Elias, and Cyrus, and Yomi's already having trouble. I'll also be traveling this weekend and the latter half of next week.

We'll just make do and be patient.

[Rev Rosey]

Indeed congratulations. Have a wonderful, memorable day.

At least all the downtime is coinciding, which helps a little.

Oh hey, sorry I missed this post. Congratulations ! And what a beautiful place to be spending your honeymoon.

XP:

14 eelhounds (lvl 4 minions) @ 44 = 616
Eelhound pack leader (lvl 6 controller) -- half-credit = 125

Total: 791xp

Per PC: 791/3 = 263xp

RP/PBP bonus for 600 posts = 1250

Per PC: 1250/6 = 208

Cumulative total (for everyone): 4240 + 263 + 208 = 4761xp (needed for 5th: 5500)

[bmars3]

I'm back, thanks everyone for the congrats and your patience without me in the PBP.

[pat512]

Welcome back!

[FabesMinis]

I'm in a play this week so my posting rate will be sloooooooooooowwwwwwwwww.

[pat512]

Hi, all.

I'm in a major crunch right now that won't resolve itself for at least five-six weeks. I love this game and don't want to give it up, but I think I do have to shelve it for a while.

As it will pass into the archives and we'll lose our dots, I'll page y'all here and on the Gamer Connection thread when I can resume. I understand this often results in losing a player or two, which I would regret, but I would understand. It can be hard to get back into character after a hiatus.

Sorry, folks.

[JZ]

No problem buddy. I'll be right here.

[Radavel]

That's alright, Pat. I'm making a life-changing decision in the next twenty four hours myself.

[Rev Rosey]

We all know stuff happens. Far better to tell us. Eglantine is patient. Rad - hope your life-changing decision is a good one rather than just traumatic.

[FabesMinis]

Hope all is well for all.

Oh, I'm leaving my present job so I can open my own law office.

[Rev Rosey]

Excellent news. You've been wanting to make a change for a while haven't you?

[Radavel]

Yes, that is true. Hopefully, the office will be successful.

[Badslacker]

I'll hang around as well.

Good luck Rad.

[pat512]

Thanks, all, and good luck, Radavel.

[FabesMinis]

I will have sporadic internet access until Tuesday 14 April.

XP:
5 Black Fey Runners (lvl 5 minion) @ 50 = 250
Balenna of Clan Starlight, Black Fey Witch (lvl 6 controller) = 250
2 Deep Forest Boars (lvl 6 brute) @ 250 = 500
250 posts @ 5 = 1250

Total: 2250 / 6 = 375xp

Running Total: 5136 / 5500

[Rev Rosey]

Oooh. Does that mean we level up? Ah. No. We don't. I misread it.

[bmars3]

I've got us at 5170XP = 3750XP + 590XP(satyrs) + 247XP(eels) + 208XP(RPing) + 375XP(fey)

We're both wrong. Eels was 263, so you're at 5186.

[bmars3]

14x44=616 + 125 = 741/3=247 for the eels

Ok, ok. But if the next encounter leaves you 15xp shy of the level, I'm not gonna save you from the others! ;)

Even though we didn't roll many dice, I'm awarding the bargaining as a level 6 (her level) skill challenge (250xp) plus a posting award (250xp) for 500/6 = 86xp, putting you at 5256xp.

What, did I do the math wrong again :-) ? I really don't mind being corrected, especially when I'm running on as little sleep as I am this week!

Dammit. Keep the 3 extra xp!

[pat512]

Skill challenge, level 5, simple (you learn just as much from a failure, in my book): 400xp
150 posts@5: 750xp

1150xp/6 = 191xp

Total: 5447xp

Get out of this one intact and you'll get another 53, just for putting up with the fey. So go ahead and plan, but don't implement, your level 5.

It will also be a milestone.

[pat512]

Nain Rouge - level 5 solo skirmisher - 1000xp
1200 posts (200 new) - 1000xp

2000/6 = 333xp each

New total 5833xp
