Taj, slightly boring library-related fact: I used to work for H.W. Wilson, the reference publishing company, back in the 90s. "Exciting" was never really a word that has appeared on my job descriptions... :)
Zohruk |
Daen, I keep meanng to ask, did your elbow heal up okay after last summer's I-forget-exactly-what-but-it-sounded-awful-at-the-time?
And yeah, that does actually sound like an awesome library.

Elbow feels pretty good, although I'm not going to throw footballs anytime soon. It got a lot better after a shot of cortisone and a few Tylenol. My sis, who's an Occupational Therapist says that sometimes the body will adjust to bone spurs to the extent that surgery isn't necessary, and it seems to be the case. I've even taken up swimming for fitness again without too much trouble.
I am still about 8 thousand in the hole from hospital bills and van trouble, hence the second job, but Tax season is coming soon.

Eilidh should *should* be updated to standards now. I do have a question about ABP, though. Does the reduced Wealth By Level apply?
EDIT: I'm Chris, I live in Colorado, and I'm a teacher's aid at an elementary school.
Zohruk |
Will tax season help, Daen? I'm crossing my fingers for you.
A couple of extra crosses over here, too. (Of course, eventally I'm gonna have to shift to figurative crossing, or else the drive home is going to be brutal.)
Rataji the Resourceful |
Oh no. You're not running away from things that easily.
Other knights. I'm assuming that you guys are waiting for Kassie and Allie to finish up before jumping in to game play. Is this correct?
__________
So...
1) Knowledges. Are there changes being made in who's covering what?
2) Requests for Taj's scroll library? (If it's something just for you, consider purchasing it.)
3) I am assuming we're buying the 2 IH wands and the first aid gloves. If we also want a couple wands of something else, speak up.
4) I currently have a three feat investment in archery that I'm likely not going to be very good at. With Allie joining us, should I switch to full caster and instead invest those feats in Spell Focus and or flag bearer?
Thoughts?
Sir Grimold |
I think we're waiting, yeah. I'm still confused about where our squad is starting.
1) Not sure yet.
2) I've got a couple of suggestions that I'm willing to pay for. I'll post those a bit later.
4) Probably a good idea. I'll keep my archery feats so that, between Allie and me, we'll have ranged covered. What's this about flag bearer though?
Rataji the Resourceful |
I have the charisma for Flagbearer and only need one hand to cast. It's an always on +1 to attack and damage. The flag can be attached to a spear (that I would also be no good at, but hey...) it's a weapon that I can use if needed.
Rataji the Resourceful |
I thought I was going to be able to get a post up before work, but the morning got busy.
Protection from Evil was one of the wands on my list above. I think it would be an awesome choice and I believe that we have three who can cast from it without UMD.

And at least one more guy who can frantically hit the wand like it's a remote with a loose battery, "Is this thing on!?!?!?"
EDIT: and now I'm imagining Old Man Zohruk furiously trying UMD checks in his living room, and yelling across the house.
"Taj! Taj? The wand's not working again...!"
(Rataji's voice from off-camera) "You're probably holding it wrong."
Zoh: "I know how to hold a wand! Sheesh, you always say that..." FWOOSH! (stream of fire erupts from the end of the wand) "I got it! It was the wrong wand...!"
Sir Daen |
Okay, let's remember one precedent from our previous game. Infernal healing leaves an ugly scar. There are some in our party who would care about that, not to mention the "side effects". I'd recommend that we at least start with one or two wands of Cure Light wounds as well, because they don't leave scars, and have the added benefits of working against haunts and undead.
Being that Daen has the ability to make wands, he can make one in two nights by rushing the job, even just at a campfire. We don't have to really buy more than one wand of any particular type and we can just set him to do crafting whatever else we need at a lower price.
I do plan on jumping into the gameplay thread soon, at least to get things started if they need to be for the second half of the group.
Zohruk |
And this supposed girl he has back home... If she were truly important to him, he would have gotten off his ass and found a way to be with her!
Hey, the chief said I couldn't come home until this was all done. Well, excuse me for not disobeying!
Rataji the Resourceful |
Hey, Shivaji is opinionated. I'm glad you liked it.
Daen, I'm also very glad that group 2 will be coming online soon!
Sir Daen |
Yeah, it looks like you guys will be on the move during the night, we can have you cross the border before you expect to do so and run into where we've camped for the night. There should be a relatively large campsite at the crossroads, or even an inn, but we'll just play it that we camped outside to conserve money even if there was one. We can just say that one of us will be on watch, sitting up, and Zoh can recognize us and come into camp.
Since I'll be posting first, I'll be up. I'll do a quick intro and then you'll be able to interact with me as well. Then we can wake people up, or just go to morning and reconnect.
Sound good?

In any case, there he was, polishing his wand.
Phrasing.
Edit: just so I'm clear, is that my cue?
Kassara |
Moved house yesterday!,... now just need to clean the old one and write up some presentations. I'll have a first post up ASAP today but will still be slower than usual until about tuesday next week when things should clear up a little.
Sir Grimold |
Grimold now speaks Orcish; presumably he's learned it from Zohruk.
Some scrolls I'm considering for the purposes of having cast into my dagger:
Shocking Grasp (shouldn't actually need a scroll for that one)
Hold Person
Dispel Magic
Air Geyser (that one's hilarious)
Bestow Curse
Blindness/Deafness

I won't be ashamed of my ignorance: how does this work in cases of two tables running? Will we see a second "Gameplay" tab up top?
Sabah |
I think they have a pretty versatile system in place for linking gameplay threads etc.
You might even be able to have multiple discussion threads for the same gameplay thread.
Also, hi other table!
Zohruk |
...odd, I'm trying to post in the table 2 gameplay but nothing shows up after posting. Just a white void.
DM, any chance it's the same issue (whatever it was) that plagued Rataji and I at the start...?
Rataji the Resourceful |
I did it by posting to website feedback with a link to the broken thread. Chris took care of the rest. GM Arkwright and I just reported it.
Maybe the tildes are the problem?
Zohruk |
Hey DM, any word on custom weapons (from the Weapon Master's Handbook)? If possible I'd like to use something of my own design similar to the starknives I'm currently listed with (TLV guys: the orcish mandela knives I was eyeing up with Trainer Luca).

Is there a source where I can look at this.
I mean if it's functionally the same as another weapon but has a different design and flavor, I don't mind. But no its a thrown weapon range 50ft with 1d8 damage and 15-20x3 crit range.
Gaurm, none other than flavoring how it looks.
