"And that's how we know the earth to be banana-shaped."
"This new learning amazes me. Tell me again how sheep's bladders may be used to prevent earthquakes."
Edit: Fortunately, three out of the five of you could solve the lighthouse issue.
What do you mean?
Drago, Aurelea and Cyna possess the correct tools to solve the puzzle.
Excellent, than Skaar has free license to be as clueless as I am!

"Look, sire!"
"Camelot!""Camelot!"
"Camelot!"
"It's only a model."

I'm not going into the song :P
Sorry, suffering the side effects of a promotion, new work load and a job description that is still being defined.
lol. Quite alright. My mother is temporarily living with us and I'd love to shove my head in the oven right about now.
Went and watched After Earth today left my sun glasses in the theatre.
I would love to be suffering the effects of a promotion. In the meantime, I apologize for Harakhty being relatively useless at the moment. He's more curious about the new place's overall features than solving "problems" it may have at the moment.
After Earth any good?
Wasn't anything special. Startrek iron man and now you see me were all better imo but it wasn't bad either.
Sound like typical Shamalan. Don't get me wrong, I like some of his movies, Signs, Unbreakable, The Village. The Lady in the Water wasn't too bad, my only complaint was him putting himself in such a major roll.
What about Epic?
"By what name are you known?"
I haven't watched a movie in a theater in years.
I didn't know it was a Shamalan until the credits, I may not have gone to see it if I had known. Haven't seen epic yet.
I want to toss an idea by all of you, but keep in mind that this is for a while down the road. I don't know how many of you have played Kingmaker (I have not personally), but the kingdom building rules from Ultimate Campaign intrigue me. I'm planning on picking up the book within the next month and I want to know if kingdom building would interest you or turn you off. It fits well with Harakhty's character and your own home base might be a great idea for your explorations of Zahvroma. This is not set in stone until I look over the rules, but I wanted to see what your first impressions are.
Having run Kingmaker through book three, I can say that kingdom building can be a lot of fun but it can also be a real chore.
My biggest concern would be it slowing down the story/core gameplay. If we can integrate it without gumming up the rest of the game, I’d be happy to give it a shot.
Well, I'll take a look at the rules and see how "behind-the-scenes" I can keep it.
Ultimate Campaign is a great investment. Just got it myself and it.... is..... AWESOME!
Maybe that'll be my payday treat tomorrow.
Should be interesting to say the least.
Well, bought Ultimate Campaign as well as my long-desired Bestiary Box. I'll look over the kingdom building stuff over the next week before I jump up and down on Oprah's couch over it.
I am yet in the dark on Ultimate Campaign, so I can't give any feedback on that. However, I can agree with Skaar's assessment if it will slow down the campaign, I'd rather avoid it. Otherwise, sure.
"Excuse me while I whip this out."
Seeing that kingdom turns are once a month, I'm not throwing away the idea just yet. However this will rely on recruiting NPCs and possibly an NPC sovereign/regent to handle things while you're off fighting the evils of Zahvroma.
How would we be bringing people in? Are there locals?
It wouldn't be possible to bring people in now. The shipwrecks and the fort prevent that. The rest of the island is inaccessible to your knowledge (mountains surround the rest of the island). Though resolving Icathia's problem before the end of the campaign could allow for kingdom building. As for there being locals, I can't say much about it now.
Interesting.
We still waiting on someone to climb?
Harakhty.
He has a climb speed.
Yes, I didn't even bother rolling, instead just saying I climbed in the flavor text. Assume he always takes 10 on climb because he has a climb speed.
I missed that, sorry. Not the climb speed but the declaration of the climb.
Harakhty will take 10 as well, and his previous post essentially stated as much, so I won't rehash it in that thread.
*Pulls out the ring*
"Oh s~##. No, no, no, please no, please, please, not that, not that."
"Yes, that."
Oh you kids.
I'm having a bit of difficulty discerning the where/when of the current situation on the deck. Harakhty is willing to help pull down the mast as long as he doesn't need to go by the hands, but I'm not sure if that's the case.
"Bacon."
"Bacon, a whole damned plate. And I usually drink, my dinner. Now according to all of these flat, bellied experts. I should've took a dirt nap, like 30 years ago. But each year comes and goes, and I'm still here, and they keep dying."
"What?"
"Huh?"
"Goes to show you what?"
"Well it just goes... what the hell are you talkin' about?"
"Well you said you drink beer, you eat bacon and you smoke cigarettes, and you outlive most of the experts."
"Yeah?"
"I thought maybe there was a moral."
"No, there ain't no moral. I just like that story. That's all. Like that story."
Eh, that's over with.
"This is cast we made, of the footprints we found. 37 in by 19."
"Doc that's fantastic. Doc I don't understand, whatever walks on this might be formidable for a man with a club, but with our kind weapons, Quinn could have.."
"No, no Skipper, this runs counter to every known law of 'Adaptive Evolution.'"
"What do you mean?"
"Well notice this structure here, characteristics of a four footed animal, yet our visitor last night left the tracks of a biped. Primarily a ground animal too, yet this claw can only belong to an arboreal creature, like some impossible tree-sloth. Just doesn't fit in the normal nature, anywhere in the galaxy, this is a nightmare."
"Is that what you made out of that footprint Doc?"
"I think it's fairly close."
I meant the mast.
"Pardon me, Commander. Are you ready to hold discipline on the cook, sir?"
"Yeah, let's have him."
"I'm obliged to remind you that I gave him permission to go out last night."
"Did you give him permission to get falling-down drunk?"
Perfect time for a dip!
Map is up. The mast and Harakhty are 15' above the swimmers.
Take that bow shot as my action; it should've been a full round to cross the mast.
[spoiler=GM]I was wondering if you'd get that one. Your turn.[/ooc]
