sorry EJB, woke up late for work and I didn't have a chance to post. I'll get zee lizard leveled and I will post shortly after.


Revery (Erudite Enchanter) in somnis veritas // Kspress (Iksar Monk) Your pain is the breaking of your shell.

Is there a rule that says pets (or Revery's pets) don't get AOOs?

It's my interpretation of a "mindless" construct that "merely serve as a shield for their summoner, attacking directly anything that assaults the summoner."

It was my intent to rule that a type 4, and above, construct would exploit AoO only on the single target it was facing.

Clang Revery. He's now a fighting machine!


I expected to have Thursday off, but I don't. So leveling in both games will take a little longer. Sorry. Still working on it...


male Half Elf Rogue /Markus Vardin Human cleric (Giant Slayer Blackguard Kwenilithmor Eridosan)

Ding! Kwen is almost completed I think I just need to look at my training points and see if I want a feat


Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress

The goblin is "passed out" at 1 hit point? Does my heal check show that he's feigning unconsciousness? or is he really unconscious and at positive hit points?

Who has a sexy high intimidate score? : )


Game master

He is passed out, fatigue damage and he was bleeding our before the minor healing spell, so positive. Hit points and unconscious


Piter de Colmar (Human Shadow Knight) The hour has arrived to abandon theories and go directly to what is practical.

<raises hand> +9


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

Pretty much leveled, just debating on spending some training points :)

Piter is not quite prepared to start yelling at passed out goblins...

Will help once he wakes up.


Game master

Alright I think I need a few more people to post and then I will move the story to the next day/ that night for Loki, in fact I need Zaru to post. Kur'Plugh will post when I get the last person, then I get to mess with Loki's mind :)
so Kwen is ready, I will have to wait for the group to get back to Freeport to snag that feat that I want (weapon Finesse).


Anti-heroes: Sorry! I try very hard to at least check in daily, even if I can't write a lot. This has been a difficult week for me. Post complete.

Heroes: Who is sorely injured and how much? Without a status line in characters' posts, I've lost track, and the leveling only muddled things.


Game master

It's fine, I understand work/ life getting into the way of gaming, I just wanted to make sure that everyone got a chance to post today. I will try to have a DM post very soon, I might do it at work, via my phone or I just might have everyone wait until I get off from work.

Everyone please update your mana/hit points in your next post.

Also some idea of your plan will help, so I can fast forward you to your next beating :)

Can we assume we picked up all their food and water? If not, we'll have to go back and get it...

If you would have picked it up then I would imagine you picked it up. So sure you grabbed it.


I think that I have Gwendalyn all leveled now. Still to do:

* Alter her background (as suggested by Xenh) to reflect the greater danger and time of overland travel in the tabletop version of the game: she never ventured further south than Everfrost before being kidnapped, and after using the firepot, she and Sajeek took boats from Freeport to Halas and back.

* Update her gear with loot from the dervishes.

* Finish leveling Zaruksis.

* Finish updating his gear with loot from the boat and the goblins.

* Give an RP response to Loki's crisis and question.

My weekends are relatively free, so I'm optimistic! :)

The soundtrack in Loki's head...

I've had an interesting couple of weeks. First the assistant supervisor went deaf, and I got overtime. Then the supervisor took ill, and I not only got some more overtime, but even spent some time as the official acting supervisor (on the timesheet and everything). First time ever, and it was more draining than I expected; and I think I'm also fighting off whatever brought down the supervisor, since I'm really tired and have been for over a week (despite getting more sleep). So my point is, I'll catch up with both games tonight, but I'm kind of wiped out and it could take a few hours.

Eek, how did he go deaf?

You must work in a scary industry it's bumping off workers like flies!


She took her daughter to the hospital with a fever, got a flu shot while she was there, and twenty minutes later couldn't hear anything except tinnitus. To be fair, she was already basically deaf in one ear, and they think it might be a tumor pressing on the eardrum of the other -- which would presumably take longer than twenty minutes to grow -- but still. It's kind of disturbing, and we lost our last supervisor and our last assistant supervisor to different things around this same time last year, which just makes it even creepier. But it's just the supervisors, so it's probably stress-related. I'm already planning to delegate more than my predecessors if I'm promoted before I find another job, especially since I have urticaria; I'm allergic to stress, and that's not a metaphor. It gives me hives. Literally.

Damn, that's harsh, since most people focus on distress and call it "stress", but there's also eustress, which is much more common.

Delegate away!


Teir'Dal Necromancer

Not ignoring the Diablerie game BTW.

Waiting for something to go on cave-wise so I can post.


Yay, new word! No problem with eustress so far. Just distress. For example, when I transferred to my current site (where I'm happier than at the last one), my urticaria immediately went away, and hasn't been heard from since. That was just over a year and a half ago.

Hives are absolutely brutal.

Glad your site move is helping your stress.

No worries about your posting :)

What to ask the oracle.....

How about "where should we go to find a small number of orcs?"

Or "if we go east to the shore, what dangers will we encounter along the way?"


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

Sorry, router problems :P

I resorted to using my phone to play catch up :)


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

Mwahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!

I had post number 666!!! This would have been soooo much cooler in the evils game, but, I'll take it.

:P


Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress

Moving The Torture Chamber forward tomorrow morning. Ask the question and move before then, or you're a Cazel snack. Character generation sucks, don't slack : )

An example full attack from Cazel (added for flavour):
Slam: 1d20 + 36 ⇒ (2) + 36 = 38
Damage: 2d8 + 25 ⇒ (2, 7) + 25 = 34
Slam: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (17) + 32 = 49
Damage: 2d8 + 25 ⇒ (4, 2) + 25 = 31
Slam: 1d20 + 28 ⇒ (18) + 28 = 46
Damage: 2d8 + 25 ⇒ (1, 1) + 25 = 27
Slam: 1d20 + 24 ⇒ (9) + 24 = 33
Damage: 2d8 + 25 ⇒ (7, 4) + 25 = 36
Slam: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (3) + 20 = 23
Damage: 2d8 + 25 ⇒ (3, 6) + 25 = 34

As a side effect, with no save, the creature hit is dazed (can take no actions, but defends normally, for 1 round).

If you cannot take ~162 damage per round then get er done.

I guess Cazel is more than CR 3?

:-o

Sorry about unilaterally asking the question, but there had been very little discussion and the time had run out. A question had to be asked, as I take threats from the gods very seriously! I tried to come up with the best question that would help us succeed at our mission...

Twas cunningly crafted.

Me likey!


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

So, for the evil game, Loki wandered off by himself "X" amount of miles to the new goblin cave from were we started hunting. Is that 3 miles from where the hunting took place or 3 miles from our cave?

We are just finding that the dark elf dipped out, out as we gather around the elk correct?

And he was the only one who had really looked at the map, so do we need to make Wilderness Lore rolls to try and find his tracks?

k, that should take care of the Wilderness Lore roll.

He did wander off by himself though, correct?

Just double checking so I don't have to edit a post more then a couple of times, lol.


Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress

Sajeek isn't permitted desert tantrums. Calm yourself John Spartan, imagine how large of a litterbox you are currently occupying.

Not intentionally.

If it makes Sajeek feel any better, I caught a mouse (in my house!) yesterday.


Cthulhu-Spawn DM/crazy person

hahahahahaha!!!

He says, "I hopes you toyed with it!"


Revery (Erudite Enchanter) in somnis veritas // Kspress (Iksar Monk) Your pain is the breaking of your shell.

Ha, at one point I was trying to catch it in a corner, where there were curtains. So I had this box, and it covered the corner, and I lifted up the curtains and it was not there (Hide: 15). So I thought for a second, and looked up. Sure enough, it was on the curtain, near the top (Climb: 25). It managed to escape, I got it in a bucket, but dropped it trying too hard to close the lid. Eventually it ran to the kitchen and I got it in the bucket again (Escape Artist: 5 vs DC 25 - no chance).

OFFER TENDERED

If I can get everyone put crazy energy into the game, consisting of solid posts of roleplaying substance, from today until Sunday then you will all ding level 4 on Monday morning.

Somewhere in there I would love physical descriptions of characters, and some semblance of motivations and backstory. My hope is that this will help the group to gel together, and coalesce your character concept further in my minds, now that you've had a few months to look out of your PC's jellied orbs.

If you all go above and beyond your ding to level 5 will come shortly thereafter.

<leaves a trail of levelling breadcrumbs>


Piter de Colmar (Human Shadow Knight) The hour has arrived to abandon theories and go directly to what is practical.

Did Cakkarak find Loki? Did he come back after a bit?

Piter would go looking for them but I don't know what's happening back at the kill site.


Game master

Oooh piece of candy!
As for the kill site I Kur'Plugh is taking the elk corpse, after skinning it's hide, back to the cave to cook some of it then smoke the rest. So far Cakkarak is tracking Loki. Wanted to spend a day giving Loki a scene. I have been posting at work via my phone so it is hard to devote my focus on the game and I'll post a lot tonight before I have to go to my table top pathfinder session. Sorry if things are slowing down slightly on the evil campaign, I'm trying to balance things and get a better grove, also I'm pricing out a few physical copies of some Eq books to make my life a bit easier.
The rest of the party is waiting for Cakkarak to come back or they folliw Kur'Plugh back to the cave, then go looking for Loki and Cakkarak. Alrighty then evil post is up I need a few actions from the group and then I can move to the next scene, or something send my rabid squirrel mage to eat the party :)


Angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress

Twas a quick post as I'm running to do some errands.

Back in a bit and I'll do a longer one.
