Would like 10 mw cold iron arrows.

Unless our two archers want them for the fight against the demon lord's child.

I wouldn't interpret it that way. A full attack takes time, you can't time it as precisely as a single attack. The rules say that your initiative changes to immediately before the creature you interrupted, i.e., in the following rounds, you go first, then the other creature. You don't interrupt their subsequent actions unless you ready again.

Reading it more closely, I believe you are correct.

Ready will change your initiative to immediately before the spellcaster if you were disrupting, but you will not disrupt again unless you ready again.

Full attack actions to disrupt are not possible.

Sorry for any confusion.

I'll claim the wand of inflict moderate wounds. Although that would end Alaric's streak of not inflicting damage on the enemy.

If the studded leather armor is distinctively the Priestess' studded leather armor, and there would be the couple of minutes of time to switch, Hrithik would claim it for the demoralizing effect of donning it and advertising her demise. (He is not going to carry/wear the unholy symbol anymore than he has been saying the word "Pazuzu" ... call it superstition or paranoia if you like).

If it is just generic-brand studded leather armor, factory issued and indistinguishable from every other piece of studded leather armor on the planet, it's not worth the time, and would result in no claim.

as long as the unclaimed loot gets sold and its value split amongst the party at the end Tollin has no claim on anything specific. If something needs to be carried for the party then Tollin can do that.

Yep. That's how it works!

cool for cats. Let me know if there is anything I can sherpa around.


Female Elven Urban Druid 9, Brightness Seeker 1

Lio would really like some of those shiny arrows. Mel, maybe we can split them 3 ways? You, me and Myri?


Male Half-elf Barbarian

No claim on any of the loot.


Male Halfling Cavalier 10

Kalimac claims no loot.

Exactly where unclaimed loot is sold is unclear. However, I'm told that arrangements have been made.


Female Elven Urban Druid 9, Brightness Seeker 1

If in the future we come across diamonds as loot, I would like to make an advance claim for rune making purposes to protect the caravan...

or maybe a gm request... please give us some shiny diamonds so i can make runes!

;)

alas, Lio is a druid and there's too much metal in studded leather armor... it's all yours, i suppose ;) also it probably smells like birds. maybe Mel can clean it with magic? though if it's custom made for a bird woman, wont it be snug around the waist, and a bit loose around the hips and chest?

If she's about 450 lbs like the guys are, the armor will probably just be oversized, period. As for how humanoid vs. birdlike her pelvic anatomy is, I got nothin' :-)

That said, if the armor works, and is distinctive, Hrithik would have no qualms with the potential scent, featheredness, or comfort. It's for deliberate display for a specific purpose, which makes everything else fine. He's had to wear much more extreme garb in his lifetime.

on second thought, don't answer that... i feel bad enough for missing as is :P


Female Elven Urban Druid 9, Brightness Seeker 1

in regards to the loot, Lio would like one of the scrolls of cure moderate for party use. i assume Hrithik or Alaric can use the 2nd one?

can anyone use the dispel magic scroll, since it's divine? Alaric? :)


Male Human Cleric 10

I'd assume at least Alaric and Hrunndalf can use the scroll. Not sure about the others.

i forgot Hrunndalf was a divine caster.

but one of you guys should take it, since dispel magic is really quite useful... ;)


Male Human Cleric 10

Agreed. Probably makes more sense going to me, since Alaric is more of a support caster, however, I'm more interested in the wand for the aforementioned offense.

The studded leather is generic factory-issued studded leather from the studded leather factory, alas.


We are soon to enter Dungeon Crawl mode. To remind you, that means I will make the assumption that you are thoroughly and carefully exploring the Dungeon level by level in a sensible manner, and describe a series of rooms at a time rather than make each ordinary door a momentous multi-day decision.

I will stop at any encounter, or any point where information might change the search pattern (e.g., "The sign on the door reads 'BEWARE OF THE TARRASQUE'. You hear Tarrasque-like noises from behind it.")

Feel free to use flex time to go back and do anything you like in a room I have breezed past, but you can make the assumption that all rooms described were searched thoroughly by you.

If for some reason you desperately want to go up or down a set of stairs without having explored an entire level, just let me know.


(In addition to stopping at Important Moments, I may also occasionally put a break in every few rooms or so if there's a long stretch of no encounters, just to keep there from being ludicrously long 17-rooms-in-a-row posts.)

Maybe something like:

Mel 7 masterwork cold iron arrows
Myri 7 masterwork cold iron arrows, "cold iron? kkhhhhhhh!"
Lio 6 masterwork cold iron arrows and 1 +1 Flaming Burst arrow

how does that sound?

Have I met Tollin before I fell conveniently ill?


I believe Tollin joined the group after you succumbed to your convenient illness.

This might seem a bit of an odd question, but, does Mel have a bow? I've never seen her shoot... ;)

No, Mel does not have a bow.

then why did you want the arrows? :P

Two reasons, the more currently relevant one being, Mel has K:planar and demons. Cold iron is our friend.

I was trying for something like a cat's hiss, though I know, it doesn't look right. Any suggestions if it comes up in the future?


Yeah, that came out more as hairball.


Male Human (Ulfen) Oracle of Battle 10

Huh. I did interpret it as a hiss. Something like [kç:]. Very appropriate.

(Why should Myri be vulnerable to cold iron, though...?)


Female Quarter-Orc Sorcerer

That would be among the things revealed to the group, that was not summarized to Hrunndalf... Sorry. Of course, that may be because the person who did the more through explanation wanted to ignore that part of Buttersnips in exchange for the version where her type of fey is normally evil....

Sorry, Hrithik. But Mel is being quiet, really.

Hrithik didn't include it because it's personal and doesn't bear on defeating the bad guys. He's overheard so much personal stuff in the past hour of his life it isn't funny. He's not including a thorough public rundown of it for late arrivals :-)

(As far as Hrithik is concerned and has perceived, Buttersnips doesn't deviate from her species on that spectrum, by the by. At all. She is, as far as he knows and perceives, abnormally chatty, not abnormally less murderous, manipulative, nor deceitful. Hence him repeatedly calling her evil, rather than calling quicklings as a race usually-evil.)

I know that. Mel respectfully (or not so much) disagrees).

Wait a minute (and evidence i should really read these slower).... Is the person who had a hissy fit about Lio overhearing travel conversation eavesdropping now? :)

Hrithik:
Wait... I thought he was staying out of private life things... Says the person who uses a spell for semi-private communications. Highly amused ooc...

Lio made a thorough and persuasive case that out here in Varisia, you hear what your acute ears hear, and don't stop listening when it starts making sense. Everyone keeps telling him he needs to adapt to local mores ... :-)

Mel:
Hrithik still isn't going to publically barge in or interject like Lio did, but he is changing how he rolls to overhear conversations. Before the woods, and during them, I had Hrithik roll like Myriana did on the wagon: line by line, likely to get some hits but completely disjointed. I played it as "sometimes you overhear stuff, but you don't make an effort to *keep* hearing it". And since it was largely "not something Hrithik will worry about unless people might die", random intelligible fragments were just "whatever".

Post-Lio, and post-graveyard gate argument, Hrithik accepts that apparently the way we do things in Varisia is just passively absorb it and if they're that loud that's the breaks. (Lio *did* argue she wasn't making special efforts to overhear Hrithik and Mel, she argued she was just so keen of hearing she couldn't help catching the whole thing. Hrithik takes that to mean Lio is "catching the whole thing" with a lot of these conversations, and always has been, and when we aren't in a dungeon crawl he will want to tell Melinda that every word she has ever messaged has possibly been heard by the elf.)

New rule: you start hearing personal stuff doesn't mean you stop listening. He's still not reacting to it, especially not on a combat trek, but he's rolling like she did: whole conversations, all or nothing. Which thankfully means a lot of "nothing", and no more worrisome fragments lacking context, but when "all" hits, he really gets it all. Each "thread" is a separate roll: The Melinda-Kalimac-Shop exchange, the Melinda-Alaric-Shop exchange, the Melinda-Tollin-Throne exchange, etc.

Flip side, he has taken more effort not to be in the middle of it when possible. He was happy to be nowhere near the door to Buttersnips' Shop for whatever happened, requiring three chained 20s to overhear, which he happily came nowhere close to. As it is, he's very glad he is continuing his "don't butt in" and "don't interrupt the mission" policies, because *boy*, howdy, even one caught thread is plenty :-)


Female Quarter-Orc Sorcerer

Doesn't seem to have bled over into much of anything else.... Too bad.

Mel:
Don't really care. I think technically it should be one roll each time Mel uses the spell... Which is every time she speaks. But either way is fun to me :) ...

However, no very curious at to which ones you did make it for :) ~ because yeah... Mel doesn't really think when she is talking. But hey, you wanted honesty and Mel is really nothing but.

Not vulnerable, just a dislike actually...mother being fey and all.

So any ideas for less "hairball" and more hiss? So far I'm only at possibly reversing the letters.

Ah? The only thing I glean from your character sheet is "human" and "apparently died gorily at least once" (possibly a Fast Zombie?).

Maybe stick to a single initial k? Use IPA? ;)

The died horribly would be her father, which is why he has the same last name and a different first name. (And he was turned into.... well... It wasn't a zombie.)

Happily, we don't need to list our lineages on our character sheets... I would hate to have to come up with the 40 or so interspaced generations. Although, technically, Mel should know some of them.

And no worries, you missed the reveal of Myri's painful origin story. :)

I hope your vacation was good thou. :)


Male Halfling Cavalier 10

When I try to mimic a cat's hiss, I use a lot of uvular fricative-ness. So maybe use a lot of Xs? Like Hxxxxxxxk! Or something.

The "Myriana" mentioned in the first paragraph on Myri's character sheet which is probably being refereed to was her mother.

Or perhaps Mel will, if Xander has anything to say.
