yup, once Valeros, Barzazal, and the Naga go, there's going to be more summons! although i was planning to use Dolphins for direct damage, as opposed to something that would attack images, but that is a good point...
Hmmm, now to consider...
Well since the dolphins have blindsight, they might not even see the images and only go right for the naga. Without speak with animals up you cant really give them more direction other than just to attack your foe.
the problem of course is hitting the thing's armor class... tough fight. be great to take those images down though, I agree. Or just pull Variel out of the water and make her come to us... but if she has many more magic missiles that might be a bad idea too, lol.
Hey guys, back from work. Thank you all for your patience with all my crazy questions. I hope that it didn't slow the pace down for anyone, I was mainly just trying to understand how things worked, and I do better if I map it out on paper. The explanation was just me trying to "map it out", that's all.
Anyway, like I said earlier, I appreciate your patience on things.
I'll likely not be back till tomorrow afternoon/evening/night as I shall be aiding in the hosting of a new-years party, and then working from 1am to 9am on the 1st and do not plan of being awake from 9am till the evening of the 1st.
and may not be posting anything long or social will the 2nd for i am likely running an RL game on the evening of the 1st once i finally rise.
SO HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Happy New Year, mister Dhaavan!
And to all a good night :)
Happy New Year everyone... I will be leaving for a party soon, so see you all next year.
Heppy New Year all! Sorry for the delay but I will be.......here all night with the wife and kiddos lol.
Ok back on sorry for the delay! Battle is probably over now unless you all try and pursue.
Happy daughter birthday, Variel!
happy birthday to your daughter, Variel!!! Hope it's a good one!!
Happy 3rd Birthday to your daughter, Variel. :)
@Variel: Everything is well with me, just got back from vacation today. Hope all is good with you and the others. :)
Are you rejoining us, Rain? That would be awesome if you are! :)
Hi Jiro! Yes, the lovely DM has kindly permitted me to join the game once again. :) Just have to nut out some details first. I hope you guys won't mind my presence too much. ;)
p.s. I will not be interfering in the positions decided upon by you guys to this point. So, there is no threat that Rain will try and take over ... *insert evil...err good laughter here*
coolness! WElcome back! Mind? hell, no... it's gonna be great having you back with us!
Thanks, Jiro. Such a warm welcome back. :) GM, I hope I didn't tread on your toes with posting on the discussion board ... Just trying to get Rain up to date/speed.
GM, I'm about to send you a pm. Thanks. :)
Not at all Rain. Ecstatic to have you back. :-)
where is everyone?... usually when I have a saturday d&d or pf game, I come back here to a dozen posts... today I've got nothing and no one is posting, sigh... Don't tell me you all have LIVES! lol... j/k mostly... having lives is a good thing. I'm going to go retreat to my studio and make art or something. But I'll be checking the boards from time to time if anyone wants to rp in 'town'.
A favour, please? I know you guys fought the naga and defeated it. But can someone please summarise for me what has happened since so I can get my bearings? Where is everyone currently? Thanks in advance. :)
Just so you know what Rain is about (discussed this with the GM), she is not formally part of the crew of The Dread Lady. She will stay onboard as a "consultant"/"specialist", ally, tracker etc ... lending her expertise when and where necessary but not under the official rule of the Captain (though she will be respectful of Variel's authority). She is a "free agent" and she chooses to travel with you. I will be playing this out on the boards (social rp page probably) before getting back into the swing of things. (So Rain is available for all kinds of rp.) If she fights beside you or lends her tracking services etc, she will be part of the loot division. But if she doesn't fight or join in, then she gets nothing in that particular division. Weekends are still hard for me posting wise as I am not home or busy with family ... (that is the northern hemisphere's Fridays and Saturdays), and if Rain is required the GM will be npc her, otherwise she is not included in the events or battles that unfold when her player is away on weekends.
I hope this is okay with you guys.
hmmmm... let's see.. SINCE the naga, Seijiro stayed in town and went shopping, Flynn went to tell Rickety about the Naga, then arranged to visit the watchtower with Barzazal. They are currently in the watchtower dealing with drunken guard.
I'm not sure exactly where Variel and Dhaavan are. Don't know anything about Valeros as he's been MIA since 12/11, and Imm has been npc'ing him.
I'm not even sure what time it is, since the nine-pins game/social roleplay all happened in/near the morning, the sparring match happened after that, then the naga attacked, I'd assume it was mid-day or even early afternoon by now.

After I looked over the watchtower, and saw that it didn't need any repair, I went back to town.
There's nothing to do now, it seems, except wait for something to happen.
But I'll happily social RP with you, if you'd like :)
Thanks, Jiro and Flynn. :) It looks like I'm set to go -- stats updated and I can start socially rping now.

Good to have you back Rain!

RULE UPDATE!
It has been brought to my attention that the rules concerning underwater combat don't work very well and I'm inclined to agree. The rules for Cover for attacking into water dont make sense so here is the new rule.
1. Those on the surface who would have gotten improved cover under the old rule now get concealment (20% Miss chance)
2. Those completely submerged who would have had total cover under the old rule now get total concealment (50% miss chance)
Anyone who has gone spearfishing knows that the surface tension of the water isn't what causes you to miss but is the refraction of the water that causes you to miss.
Let me know what you all think.
I can dig that ruling! Makes sense and instead of needing a nat 20 to hit something in the water, only a 50% miss chance
Also I got a late shift tonight, and work in the morning, so I'll be back tomorrow afternoon
I think it sounds reasonable.
Remember the -2 per five feet is still in effect though. Just the cover got changed.
Sounds great!
Although, in reference to the spear fishing, sometimes I give credit to the light refraction, other times I give it to those crafty fish!
I agree with the others - rule sounds reasonable.

Flynn, will post soon on social rp page -- been fighting a migraine all day.
Cool beans. Looking forward to a good chat :)
Posted on the other board. I wasn't sure where I should be posting ... since I noticed Jiro (via his posting) had come into the tavern and noted both Rain and Flynn.
psst, Flynn. There is a post on the social rp board as well, if you'd like to continue that. I wasn't sure if you saw it.
Yep, just saw it now - responded there, but I had posted in both places - so I'm not sure what's up - I'm at my sisters for a bit before work - so I can only post a bit, then it's off to work. I'll check in later tonight, though, no worries.
No problem Variel. I haven't been feeling too good either.
Right, not game related, but I'm looking for advice -
So, I just spent 500 beans to get my auto fixed.
They told me it was fixed today, so I came in and paid the $500.00 - next thing I know, I walk out to the parking lot to start it, and it won't start (I'm still at the garage at this point) - it won't even start to turn over - couldn't even drive it home, or even out of the parking space at the parking garage, and the garage was 7 miles away.
Now I got to get them to figure out what is wrong with the car - that'll cost me $120 for a "Diagnostic".
Once I know what's wrong - I got to pay to get it fixed - that'll cost me more.
Then I got figure out how/when to sell it - and buy a new one, cause this thing won't last.
Meantime, I figure if you drive the car into the garage, leave it to be fixed, then they fix it, and say its fixed, and you come back to pick it up, why should I have to pay extra to figure out what's wrong, and pay for them to fix that when now it suddenly won't start? I was able to drive it to the garage, they were able to drive it to the parking spot - now it won't start?
Anyone got any ideas/suggestions on the matter? Any help would be awesome - mainly because I'm poor and need lots of help on these ideas.
Okay - that's not about the game, just looking for general advice from ya'll.
I'd tell them they'd better fix it on the dime I'd already spent or I'll call my attorney. of course that threat works better if you actually have an attorney on retainer or one you can call for a favor. If you live in a metropolitan area, some news channels have investigative reporters who delve into such practices but that takes some time. Dunno what else to suggest... oh, there's always BBB and you can report them to Angie's list if you're a member.
Thanks! I am not certain if they are playing a scam, or if there is something wrong with the car that they didn't pick up on.
I figured I'd demand a diagnostic of the car - free of charge - and say "Hey, I got it here without it being an issue - now that I give it to you guys to work on, suddenly it doesn't work? What's up with that?"
But yeah, the attorney idea is decent - but I'm pretty poor for that, but I really like the idea of reporting them on Angie's list - it's cheap and free. Hopefully this will get resolved tomorrow - but if not, I don't know what to do. My second job is about an hour away, and it pays too much money for me to skip out on.
Damn mechanics.
Thanks for the advice, though, Seijiro, I do appreciate it! :)
Angie's list isn't free - sorry to say - even leaving feedback requires that you are a member and that costs money. I think you can leave feedback free on the yellowpages if you want tho
Sorry to hear about your car troubles, I recall those days myself and hate when they happen.
Hey, I was dead to the world yesterday, but I'll try get online tonight at some point. Sorry for going afk so hard
Quick Comment regarding ret-con for the past three days
Well, to me, it’s pretty late to do ret-con if it’s several days later, that could lead to a massive trickle down effect – much of which could derail things going on now, based on what was said “two or three days ago”.
I mean, if we did something in ret-con which effected the game now, well, it’s easy to dodge over an hour or two of social RP – less chance of something having a “butterfly effect” – if it’s only an hour or two, but as it’s been several days, it feels too challenging to attempt to social RP things as there could be repercussions which effect the game in general. I mean, when we tried doing the last social RP it was fantastic via the ret-con, right up until the point when we couldn’t figure out where we were talking, or when the conversation occurred (just my opinion), as in "Wait, was that during breakfast, lunch, down by the docks, wait - where?".
I can only imagine how tricky that would be if it’s three days later the same problem will occur on a larger scale.
For example – I had asked if Dhaavan and I could render the body of the dead naga down for “spare parts” to craft magical goods. We may have done that for the past three days, or again – we may have decided to explore the jungles, I don’t know. If we explored the jungles we may have gotten killed – I don’t know, so it’s pretty tricky.
GM: Although I do know that we didn’t get an answer regarding that question about the naga. If that was something we could do – I would have done that for sure during the past several days.
Anyhow, I’ll toss up my “summary” on the board for the three days. If anyone had a specific RP conversation they wanted to play out with me, I’m all for it – just let me know. But I know myself, and I know I write a lot, and I don’t want to clog the boards with a bunch of posts that slow up the game’s pace considering where we are now.
Variel: I have placed the conversation between Rain and you on the social rp board. We haven't played it out formally and so Rain can't officially "join you" if it doesn't happen. lol
we need a giant fly zapper!!!
I'm out for half the day and will be back on the boards in my afternoon (your evening). Thanks.
