"Thank you Ravenous, but I thought your name was Herensuge!"
He snickers loudly at the amusing joke he made, and then takes a bite out of another fallen giant.
"MMhhh, kinda stringy, and tough to chew."Looking ofer at Shayas egg, he comments "I wonder, do bronze dragons need beauty sleep?"
He also looks for his magical backpack, and slips it on , along with the rest of his gear.
"So, was it a coincidence these guests showed up here to greet us?"
"You could not resist, could you ?" replies Herensuge with a smile once he's finished looking at Dormas body.
"I think she's taking more time because she is bigger. Look at the size of her egg."
With these words, Herensuge gathers his equipment and perches himself on the working table, looking for any document or clue about their location.

You've also take twice the number of feats. You should only have 4 fr an 8th level character. Um, since the characters are 8th lvl characters, that's five feats for 'character' level (NOT counting class feats/abilities) AND five feats from Hit Dice. Listed, awaiting approval. Not sure if the "Dragonomicon Manual" is being allowed.
I still disagree with you, we are only level 8 characters with dragon abilities. we are not level 8 Dragons plus level 8 in a class which would make us level 16 characters. So you only have 4 feats (for char levels 1, 3, 5, 7).

Ungorralin |

Once he has finished wolfing down the giant body (man he must have been hungry!), Ungorralin, mutters a magical phrase, and you see a coppery skinned halfling appear. "Hmmm, nice, I can see where this will come in handy."
He then walks over to the corpses ,and looks them over for clues, and gear, preferably a weapon he can use while in halfling form.

Aurion heals himself up 3 times
does anybody else need healing?Aurion goes over to the door, he opens it, he seems to see something, he goes out of the door and goes left, as he is leaving he says
"brothers come quickly!
Wait a minute, we have a few unanswered questions before opening the door.
- Was Drumas killed by the giants ?
- What is on the worktable ?
- What have the giants and oni on them ?

Raven34 |
if people can tell me what they want to do, you can stay in the room and examine it or any of its contents or you can go and see what Aurion has found, Both options are fine with me (my intention with Aurion is to have some fun, rather than use him as a plot device)
(Btw the door closed automatically when aurion went out)

I'm fine with that. Sorry if it sounded demanding. Your character can do anything he wants, obviously. I was just summarizing what Herensuge and Ungorralin told you they were doing in their previous posts.

Sherrenasaerenalia / Shaya |

I still disagree with you, we are only level 8 characters with dragon abilities. we are not level 8 Dragons plus level 8 in a class which would make us level 16 characters. So you only have 4 feats (for char levels 1, 3, 5, 7).
Um, okay you're disagreeing with me. Is there a DM ruling? Also, we are technically "Gestating" both the Dragons and a class, so unless I've interpreted such rules incorrectly, a character does get the feats for 'both' classes. Hence the characters get the feats from their class, be it Druid, Wizard, etc. They get the amount of feats for their Dragon HD, which in this case is the second class. As well as getting the normal feats per 'class' level that every one gets. Hence why I have listed the number of feats that I have. Sorry for causing any chaos or confusion. Also very sorry for STILL not having a finished character. V_V

Zarroshduvar |

I control copied this from Raven's discussion thread.
The dragon class has d12 hp, good base attack progression, all saves being good and 6 skill point’s level.
So the other class adds special abilities, feats, spells and extra class skills (a rogue would also have two extra skill points a level).
I interpreted the above statements as only the class levels add feats. Raven?

Herensuge |

Zarrosh dons his gear and trots after his brother (he looks tired), leaving the investigation to the other dragons.
I could use some healing, I am at 43/109.
Have you taken into account the 16+33 HP from Herensuge post fight healing ?

Raven34 |
re feats and stuff, as always my fault for not explaining adequately
you only get the one lot of feats from going up levels but if for example you are a fighter you get the extra fighter feats too
so you will get 4 feats for being level 8 and any others that your class gives you,EG. my character only gets 4 total because he is a Paladin

Raven34 |
the best and worst thing about GMing is that PC,s respond differntly to how you expect!
the giants have no weapons that any of you can use but there are 6 unopened chests
Drumas's body has no obvious wounds he seems to have withered away,
the body has been dead at least a few months
the worktable has several empty potions and something that would hold your eggs in it

Herensuge will look at the chests before joining everyone else outside.

Raven34 |
Zarrosh, as you leave the room you see Aurion (15 ft to the left) kneeling over the body of a small winged creature, the creature has been abused, it seems to have been tied up and tortured, further on you see the body of an oni, it has several wounds on it and has been burned
Aurion lays on hands and a glow appears around the small winged creature (your guess is that it is some kind of pixie)
the creature opens it's eyes it seems slightly delirious, it sees you and smiles, "thank Bahumut that you two are safe! i must warn you that there are 4 hill giants and an oni on the loose in here somehwere? are the other eggs safe?.......... ( he loses focus for a minute)
I've sent for some help."

Herensuge |

the six chests have names on them (the names of the PCs)
( OOC the two open chests also have names on them but those names are not important at the moment so i will not tell you them , basically those two are here in case a dragon dies, this way we can bring in another PC more easily)
Then Herensuge will just take what's in his chest and join the others.
Coming to the small winged creature, he pauses to concentrate and spont cast cure light wounds for 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13.
"Do you feel better ?" he asks the small creature. "Do you know it others like you are in here and may need some help ?'

Raven34 |
the small creature (looking better now) looks up and says
"thank you young master Herensuge, there are no others here other than myself and you hatchlings, are all of you hatched now?
My name is Talwyn and i was Drumas's familar until he died ealier on today, his body died months ago but his spirit finally went today, i felt his connection with me break and now i know why, he must have used the last of his magic to help you to hatch"
I am so proud of all of you! on the day of your birth you managed to destroy this evil that had invaded our home!
(he suddenly looks concerned for a moment)
please tell me that all of you have survived!

Zarroshduvar |

"We had a few close calls, but we scrapped by, thanks to MASTER Herensuge here," says Zarrosh as he elbows Herensuge playfully, [b]"Oh, you must be starving from your exertion. We have a nicely fired Oni back in the cave, would you care for some food? Maybe you can tell us the adventures you and Drumas used to have together."

Raven34 |
Talwyn answers "are you master Zarroshduvar or Master Aurion, My guess is that you are Zarroshdhuvar as i think it was Master Aurion who used some of his healing ability on me,
I will happily tell you of some of my adventures later and i have my own cooked oni so i dont need yours!
OOC i forgot to say, there is a ring in each of your chests, it is made of the metal that you are, and it is magical, it also has your name engraved in it.

*With a final, massive effort, Sherren breaks her shell*
*SPLOP*
For a moment the small Bronze Wyrmling lays within the fragments of shell and egg. Slowly, one bright green eye opens a slit and surveys the room to close and the process repeated with the other orb.
Perception Roll:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28
Taking in the large bodies, the other Dragons and the small fey moving about Sherren gathers her legs beneath herself and stands calmly. With neck arched nobly, the small bronze wrymling pads graciously over to the chests, searching their lids for the runes she recognizes as her name. Coming to said box, she stops momentarily, her muzzle opened in a slight,
"Oh...". Before closing her eyes and focusing her mind...
Okay, this time for sure!
Still ready to adjust pending DM's review. *bows*

Shaya /Sherrenasaerenalia |

And shifting into the form of a sun bronzed Elf. Deftly now she goes bout opening the chest before herself and sorting through it's contents. Placing some within the shoulder bag, others she drapes about her form.
From a small pouch, Shaya removes a pearl and carefully sets it to one side. Before resuming the packing of her belongings from one container to another. Once the chest is empty, She begins to pull and stretch the bag over the chest, the wooden box magically disappearing within its folds.
Picking up the pearl and slipping it within the folds of the pocket of he trousers, Shaya pads bare foot over to the giant bodies and then begins to strip them of any and all sundries.
From clothing to weapons, to the better sized tusks that some of the monsters are sporting, seemingly anything and everything is studied as to its worth of putting within 'The bag'.
ready to start talking to any one who's in the room. ^_^

Hey I think Sherry woke up finally. Good thing I'm not a dragon treasure hunter otherwise, she would be more broke than a...goblin beggar. How do they beg, you ask, with their mouths open, ha ha ha!
He walks back to her and says "Oops, pardon me for interrupting you while you are changing, he he." He snickers again.
Then he asks, "How are you feeling?"

Talwyn answers "are you master Zarroshduvar or Master Aurion, My guess is that you are Zarroshdhuvar as i think it was Master Aurion who used some of his healing ability on me,

"Talwyn, can you tell us more about where we are and what's in your master domain. Oh and who did you call for help ?"
Herensuge will use detect magic to identify the magic in his ring. Spellcraft 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30

Sherren's face reddens slightly at Ungorralin's question,
"Um, I did find it kind of hard getting out, thanks for asking." She glances at the two open and empty chests, "Say, do you think any one will want those?"
"Yeah, sorry for missing out on the thumping comity here." She indicates the giant bodies lying about, "Still, life's bound to be full of surprises, hey?" ^_^ Sherren grins happily down at the smaller form of her wrymling brother then blinks,
"Hmmm, that's interesting. With the time spent with father, I never realized how much size changes a beings perspective."

"Well, I don't think anyone will miss the chests, and they would come in handy, if you are gonna start a new treasure hoard.
Ungorallin blinks at her last statement, then nods in agreement. "Interesting, you can do things in this form that cannot be done in our true forms. Or is this our true form, and we play at being dragons? Hmmm. Gotta think about it later. I feel very naked and unprotected, but I think I am pretty cute, he eh."

Sherren grins at her sibling as he shares his views on the question of 'ownership',
"Cool!, so, um, are you gonna use your old, empty trunk?" There is a mischievous twinkle in her bright green eyes as she glances at the others in the room,
"Oh, I'm already thinking of some of the uses our more mundane," There is a subtly dismissive tone in her voice as she talks about the Elven shape she currently wears, "Forms can be put to the good use of. Never fear, you aren't the only one with a sense of humor." To which she winks to underscore her meaning. (^_~)
Okay, getting all my magical gear on. Changing/updating character pages to match.

Ungorralin |

Ungorallin, on seeing her wink at him, starts blushing, turning his coppery skin a darker hued color. He looks up at her and start stammering, "Ahhh, uuh, umm yeah, I'm sure of that, that would be a good thing, umm yeah. I think...uhh.
He hurries away to see what the others are up to, leaving unanswered the question about his chest.

Shaya /Sherrenasaerenalia |

Sherren watches as the Copper dragon turns and walks away, her eyes following the swish of his tail, before her face turns serious and she moves to load as many of the trunks as she thinks are 'unclaimed' within her bag.
She stands, brushing her hands together absently, as she gives the giant bodies a final looking over for anything that perhaps she missed.
Perception Roll:1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Yes, I am taking everything that hasn't been chewed on or flame grilled. Clothing, armor, weapons, tusks you name it, I'm taking it off them and loading up the sack.
Any one else, feel free to pipe up and make a comment about me stripping bodies here.

I was in halfling form, he he. pretty sure they don't have tails. Unless he has the odd tiefling strain in him...he, he, so I assume you were watching something else swish, like his...hand

Re items
Your chests also have a set of clothing that fits your humaniod form
The giants have various mundane items including clubs, scraps of armour
Sacks with rocks in, a few days supply of food, and clothing but nothing of any real worth
The oni has these,( we will assume that Gharz uses his spellcraft on the magic items) Most items are sized for a large person but the cloak will magically resize and the potions are usable by medium or small creatures
Greatsword +2
Cloak resistance +2
2 potions cure serious wounds
Chain shirt
Longbow (mighty strength pull+9)
20 arrows
the rings each of you have, radiate abjuration magic
the ring has several function which you are not sure of but
the rings also act as a ring of featherfall, it allows one sending per day(this sending takes one round to cast but still takes 10 minutes to be sent)
and you are protected from all divinations (like a mind blank)
EDIT the ring does not come off again when it is put on ( BTW it will not count towards the two rings that you are normally allowed to wear)

Raven34 |
Talwyn says, young masters and mistress this is now your domain, you are the new lords and lady of Stormhaven
(talwyn still looks shaky and confused you best guess is that he is at negative levels after the loss of his master)
heren i am assuming that you will do an aid other with Gharz on his spellcraft roll, i hope that is ok,
(OOC this is not going to be a fight so if it is ok we will not worry about perception rolls)
While you are all gathered near the sprite you hear footsteps and clanking armour, out of a room (about 30ft away)appear three huge giants the one in front has on plate armour and is wielding a huge heavy pick, on his armour is the symbol of Bahumut, behind him is another giant with a massive great sword, he also has the symbol of Bahumut on his armour and lastly there is another giant wielding a massive staff.
Heren recognises the first giant as the servant of Bahumut who appeared to him while he was an egg, his name is Elan
The first giant says Well done little ones! it seems that you have dealt with the threat yourselves , Our help was not needed!

Ungorralin |

(>.<) D'oh! And that's why I switch avatar pics to make it noticeable... No worries, I'm sure the back end of your mundane form is just as watchable as your Dragon one.(^_~)
Quite alright, I hadn't made it clear he switched forms after the fight ended. Switching avatars can be a pain, but if it helps clear things up for you let me know, and i'll create one. For next time, I will make it clearer what form he is in, he he. And you are correct, he does have a cute behind, he he.

Just curious, how do you guys usually divide loot among the party members? In my face-to-face section, all loot gets sold, unless someone wants to claim something. If you claim, let's say, the cloak, then you pay 1/2 price and put that $ into the pot. This way, regardless of how many items are claimed, everyone still get the same share of $ as if they have sold everything. Fair?

The easiest way would be to dice for items we can use, and sell the rest, but I don't know how easy it will be to sell items now. Fortunately, someone grabbed all the chests earlier, *looks at Shaya, so at least she can carry it.

Well, to date I haven't been in a PbP long enough to actually get any loot. :P So, in real life, all the items are talked about, those with obvious applications to characters are sorted and handed around. Pretty much everything else is then either sold and the proceeds split evenly, or if needed for its unique material, put away for other future item creation etc.
Given the nature of this game? My suggestion is everything is considered to be loot. Where possible, magic items should be swapped around to the characters who can best use them, everything else converted into hor,...uh...I mean money.
Just a question: If you claim, let's say, the cloak, then you pay 1/2 price and put that $ into the pot. This way, regardless of how many items are claimed, everyone still get the same share of $ as if they have sold everything. How does one go about 'paying' for this supposed item pick initially? I'm sure there's a way to reverse that idea into the overall scheme of hor...drat, I meant money sharing?

"Father obviously didn't have a problems with size issues..." She mutters. She looks to Talwyn,
"Lords etc of Stormhaven? I do like the sound of that." She smiles, then turns her attention to these large newcomers, "May I ask as to your capacity may be, good sirs?" She asks, possibly with a now imperious air about her bearing. (^_~)

Raven34 |
The giant at the front answers
"My name is Elan and i am the head of a Clan of about 40 cloud giants
Drumas was my best friend and we spent many years adventuring together, he was the best person that I ever met
We only ever disagreed about one thing and that was your creation,I was not sure that it was the right thing to do, Drumas had to use some dubious magics to combine your souls with those of dead humaniod infants. And it would cost him his life creating you,
We fell out over this but i promised i would help to look after you when you were born
Drumas and I made a deal which was that my clan would move into stormhaven and look after it, we would kind of be its caretakers
so actually in a funny way I am your servant!! but dont let that go to your head, I am also your teacher and your foster parent!
My clan will move in, in the next few days".
"we can talk more in a Moment, i need to heal talwyn as he will be suffering" (Elan walks over to Talwyn and casts a heal and a greater restoration )

Zarroshduvar |

Let me elaborate:
- The pot is where we put all our loot. The net worth of the pot is the market value of all the loot divided by 2. The division occurs because loot is sold at 1/2 price in stores.
- Market value of Cloak of Resistance +2 is $4,000, which means the pot is currently at $2,000. Divide that amongst the 6 PC, everyone gets $333.33.
- Zarrosh wants the cloak. He puts $2,000 into the pot and claims the cloak as his own. Zarrosh gets the cloak at half price and everyone still gets their $333.33.
- Later, Zarrosh decides to sell the cloak. He gets $2,000 at the store for it. He gets every dime of his $ back.
- I like this method cause everyone gets their share. Dicing is a bit too arbitrary for me.

Herensuge |

"We can talk more in a Moment, i need to heal talwyn as he will be suffering" (Elan walks over to Talwyn and casts a heal and a greater restoration )
"Elan, you are the one I met in my dreams. I am both pleased to meet you here and sad because that means Drumas had to die for us to live. Has he told you more about why he wanted to create us?" And do you know why these ones came to attack us?"

Ungorralin |

Ungorralin watches Shaya, trying to hide the smirk on his face, but is not so successful in his body language. Then his ears perk up when he hears the giants opposed their creation.
Wow, so I am not just a pure dragon, i actually have a halfing soul? Is that possible? I don't feel like a halfling, but then how is a halfling supposed to feel like.
He decides to stay in the halfling form for now, just as an experiment. He studies her for a moment, and finds her very beautiful still. Not sure what to make of that, he follows along behind Herensuge, trying to look invisible to the giants.
