What have I been thinking today?
1) Bloody hell, it's cold.
2) Would it be possible to have sex in plate armour?
My guess would be yes, possibly, but I shall have to ask my historical reenactment pals what they think, and whether they've tried it.
I bet they have.
Why the hell would anyone want to have sex in plate Armour. *scratches head, puzzled*

It's Thursday here, with 45 minutes left at work. But payday was yesterday! Woo hoo!
Though I'm feeling guilt over the kids' game: They're a group of 6 14th-level PCs (plus a froghemoth bard), but they have no group movement nor battlefield control spells. So a swarm of CR 8 serpentfolk looks like it's going to kill roughly half the party next week.
Part of me feels terrible about it. The other part of me is thinking, "You're 14th level and you can't get out of reach of non-flying, non-climbing, non-shooting CR 8 grunts? Maybe you need to die and come back with a decent wizard."
Ah, well, the kids may surprise me yet...

Protected sex is the best sex.

Today has been a weird day. I haven’t been getting a lot of sleep lately. So this morning I was really struggling. I got the kidlet to school and came home and ate some breakfast, but halfway through my coffee I ended up spilling the rest of the cup on the floor in my sleep deprived fumbling. And then I was just sitting on the floor trying to mop it up and crying because I couldn’t even coffee right. While this is a perfectly normal response to spilled coffee, it was also a sign that I had not had enough of the sleep. So I went back to bed for a couple of hours.
please rest lynora. We need you fully rested for reasons.

Hmm.....based on how much yarn I have used so far and how much pattern I have left to go.....dang it! I never should have trusted the pattern about how much yarn it needed! Ugh. I'm gonna be at least two skeins short. >.<
The only question is, order now or order later when I'm further along in the project and can be more accurate about how much I'm going to need. This happens to me often enough that I really should know better by now. My gauge matches and everything. Sigh.

Ahh....exam season. When the kidlet has so much homework that I basically have to hover over him every evening to make sure that he's not getting too distracted because he has so many projects and reviews and other assignments before next week's exams that he barely has time to sleep. Oh, the joys of the trimester system. It means he gets to take more classes per year, but three exam seasons a year is a bit brutal. Exams are next week, and he's so busy with the extra homework that he doesn't even have time to study. :/

I suspect you're talking about serpents skull. Now I don't think it's fair to expect a level 14 party to be fully flying, because when I played it, I was a bard. The only way a bard can fly is by phantom steed, and the steed has horribly low hp anyone could shoot it out of the sky. And bards do not have Featherfall on their spell list. I played at a time where UC and UM just came out, no other fancy books.
Serpents skull you don't get to a city once past book 2,so I haven't had any opportunity to buy gear since then. I wasn't that cheesy back then to think of the planar binding/planar ally hack to get access to shops.
Sure, brown fur transmuter can give their allies overland flight, but it's a fairly obscure option. So how else can you maintain flight the whole day? Flying carpet? That thing is bloody expensive, not to mention the rules governing what action is it to direct it, any ride checks required, how much hp does that thing have if it gets fireballed are rather fuzzy, and my policy is that if things are fuzzy, dont use them, because chances are my GM will decide to screw me over with it.
We'll also say our GM was Murderhobo happy as well. I have no idea how you can get black tentacles that I can roll a 19 on dice on the dispel check and FAIL to dispel. Oh, he also combined black tentacles and cloudkill. After I died I said I wasn't rerolling and the campaign ended there.

** spoiler omitted **
You guessed the AP correctly, but:
EDIT: In case you're wondering, she took Breath of Life (OK, gotta give her that one), Scrying (which she has never cast), and Telekinesis (which she has never cast), and Fickle Winds (OK, another good choice). So 2 of her 4 fifth-level spells she's never used, while the party suffers from being ground-bound in every combat
(shrug)

So what happens if you don't do your homework and start studying for your exams instead? Homework doesn't add to grades as much as exams do, right?
And if the teacher complains, just say it's not physically possible to do....
*insert whole long list* on so many hours. Period.
Lol. Yeah, that's be hilarious! I mean, it wouldn't work at all, and he definitely would get in trouble for it, but it would be funny..... *fails sanity check vs school system* *hits head on table repeatedly*

Easier way would just to airwalk the frogemoth bard, everyone hops on their aircraft carrier. In ROW only the bloodrager and the NPC fighter was walking. Everyone else was either airwalked or flying.
The bloodrager could cast fly on himself at need, and the brown fur transmuter was happy to turn the fighter into a four-armed gargoyle. They did most of their fighting on the ground, though.

Actually I think communal airwalk doesn't last long enough(for whole day adventuring). Just use your own airwalk spells.
Telekinesis is only available by Haunted mystery and should not count as part of the spells known limitation. She should be able to choose another spell.
At 5th level, add levitate and minor image to your list of spells known.
At 10th level, add telekinesis to your list of spells known.
Ok, 14th level oracle means 3 fifth level spells which are Scrying, BOL, and fickle winds. Fickle winds I'd pass since obscuring mist and goz mask does about the same thing. Telekinesis is given by her curse so she gets no choice on whether she wants to take it or not. Human FCB FTW!

Fox News does not care for California. The article is so over-the-top hostile it makes me giggle.
I admit I got an amused snort out of "one of the reasons [Californians] fare so poorly is because they're insufferable".
I mean, yes I've met my share of insufferable Californians, especially when I was living in Arizona, but that's supervillain talk, news site.

I am ALMOST through with the most difficult week of the school year... final week of rehearsals, prop making, costume fittings, before the big annual stage production for the lunar new year. Which is tomorrow.
(Yes, we're running a couple of weeks late. We couldn't book the auditorium we always rent because they were in contract disputes with the stage techies union.)
Today was the SEVEN HOUR LONG final dress/tech rehearsal.
Did I mention I always get stuck being stage manager?
If all goes well tomorrow morning, I won't be sitting my wrists with a rusty hacksaw.

Should I also add Haluski? Haluski, for those that don't know, is pan-fried cabbage, onions, and noodles.

Hmm..damn strange why I never caught that one out. I suspect it was a blindspot. Ah well, good to know!
But bards don't really get very good ways to fly. Phantom steed...gets shot out by an arrow too easily.
I grabbed a scroll of overland flight for one adventure, but it really isn't a viable option for sustained use.

I just find the entire human population insuffrable, at least when it comes to politics. I know thinking politics is just universally terrible is kind of a tired, blasé sentiment, but now that I work in politics, I can see just how true it really is.
