I think the two in agreement rule is a great idea. With very few exceptions, that is probably the same result as when we wait for everyone to chime in. There are probably a few exceptions that would be obvious, where one or more characters obviously wouldn't go along (the druid might have something to say if the dwarf and another agree that we should burn down the forest to get rid of the snake), we can probably recognize those situations and wait in those instances.


Two votes to move ahead sounds good to me!

I'll either ooc my intentions/actions in the IC thread or if its going to be lengthy, I'll post it here instead for a write up.


Avarthiel, please keep in mind that detect poison is not a cone like detect magic, and each separate casting either scans one creature, one object, or one 5-foot cube.

Kythas, loved the nod to Jurassic Park! A favorite movie of my wife, step-daughter and 4 year old grandson.

Detect Poison

That sounds a lot more inline with a cantrip. I was actually wondering a bit about using it to ferret out hidden/invisible assassins with poison-coated blades and thinking "That's a pretty potent spell"

Still pretty nice though. Could use it to periodically scan small areas along the trail where its dark, hard to see or a serpent may be likely to be hiding. Small help = Still help after all. =D

But the real question is does Kythas' venomous personality keep triggering the spell before it can be of any real use?

*takes a bow*

Thanks Dantes! =D

Now to see if Patcher has it chomp his face to complete the picture.


Doh! Sorry, I was mislead by the 25 foot range. That does make more sense. Thanks for the correction.


Hi everyone. I'm away for the weekend and unlikely to post. Please feel free to DMPC. Avarthiel will buff someone suitable with enlarge person (probably Dantes for the monk damage dice bonus) then fall back to ray of frost. Shield only if personally attacked.

Apologies for the map. I have no idea how construct a jungle.

I like it!

In the event that a certain Hurricane trashes my city (I live in Nashua, NH, US.) and I'm unable to post (unlikely, since I have a fully charged cell with a spare battery and car charger) Kythas will drop his bow and close in on the snake with his Curve Blade even though it will cost him a round of movement.


I wish to apologise for my lacklustre participation the last two weeks - which does not help since I'm supposed to be the DM.

I am physically not doing very well and am perpetually exhausted. I am mentally stressed. I don't know when this will subside. I want to be more active but I have a lot of commitments IRL as well: studies, pets, ect. .

Having said that, I will try to participate more. You deserve that.

Dantes, you can't Take 10 on Aid Another skill checks.

Quote:

Aid Another

You can help someone achieve success on a skill check by making the same kind of skill check in a cooperative effort. If you roll a 10 or higher on your check, the character you're helping gets a +2 bonus on his or her check. (You can't take 10 on a skill check to aid another.)In many cases, a character's help won't be beneficial, or only a limited number of characters can help at once.

Bolded for emphasis.


No probs Patcher!
I understand that things get hectic irl and I'm having fun just being able to log in and keep posting.

I'd go even further and say you're doing awesomely, and I think we as the players who fought to get into this pbp and signed on knowing there was a daily post requirement should be the ones making just as much of an effort to keep things moving.

Also, I'm about 99.6% sure Dantes was foolin' when he said he was going to take 10 to assist.
We Yanks have an unusual sense of humor that often can't be contained in the OC threads.
(As much as we try. ;) )


Hey Patcher, real life comes first so look after yourself. Eat well, sleep well, all that boring stuff! It's on all of us to keep momentum, and there's enough going on in my life right now that a slower pace is just fine.


By all means, take whatever time you need to take care of yourself. We'll be here whenever you're able to swing around for a bit.


It looks as though the interest in this has about completely died off so I'll take it as a sign to fade quietly into the jungle with Kythas and Aerys.

It's been a fun trip guys and I hope to see you around.

Thanks for the ride Patch!


Eh... never say never. It's still dotted and I'll be around when / if Patcher has time for us again.

If not, thanks everyone, for being great :)


I of all people can understand the need to take time out and deal with real life things from time to time. I'll be sitting here patiently waiting in the background :)

Absolutely. I completely understand the pressures of starting a new endeavour and dealing with medical issues. I'll keep tabs on it here just in case we get a chance to pick up again.

Hello everyone who's still dotted -

Just thought I'd drop a post here after finishing my read-through of your IC thread. I've been using it as inspiration for my own SfSS game and it's really helped me flesh out the NPCs and give my party better descriptions. I extend my kudos to DM Patcher and all of you players for some really excellent roleplaying, and my regrets that the game did not continue. Thanks for the good read!
