Male Human Sorcerer 1 (Elemental Bloodline: Water)

I'd love to have you back, but as has been said, it's the DM's call. As long as you don't do it again, I'm chill. :)

@Daemon - Does Daemon dislike Voem? He asked for help with his knee a page ago and got no response. He is currently at half HP. Did I miss something?

Roger, if you want to stay than please feel free, that would be great. However, if you choose to stay please don't make a habit of bailing. It's not good for the game or story continuity.

Its not something I intend to make a habit of. As I said I was having a bad day IRL and basically acted like an idiot. Which I am prone to do (Open Mouth Insert Foot GOGO)

I am gonna wait for everyone to chime in first though before I do anything though. Just to be fair.

I wouldn't mind having you back but it is the DMs call so we will have to wait

@Voem I must have missed that post, I apologize, also I completely forgot that you had gotten injured. Remind me in game and I will role play finishing helping Rogers character and heal you.

@Connor when doing a check using a stat (Charisma) as the base you only add the modifier (+1 in your case) not the entire stat so your roll would only be 20 as opposed to 31

also, generally speaking you only roll Diplomacy and the like vs. NPC characters because player characters dont enjoy "having" to do something just because your "lets be friendly" roll was really high. I don't mind personally, thats just how DM's usually call it.

Oops. I'm new, so good to know. Sorry to impose.

Rick Roll? Seriously bro? :P


Roger:
I understand that we all have our moments of whatever we want to call it, just try not to make a habit of bowing out and try to persevere through the tough times. I don't want Roger to give us up, let us down, run around and desert us! I believe in second chances, and I think the rest of the players would like to have you back as well. Feel free to take back over of Roger and to play as if nothing happened.

Please note: The mission from Xenor is to help raid a "lair." In case this was not clear it is a one-time task to win your pardon.

Oh. I was under the impression that it was several levels, or all levels, of the sewer.


I just realized that Roger actually got attacked (hadnt been quite keeping up with the IC thread till now)

Updated his HP. And he is going to go with the Majority. Such a defeat is very sobering to the upstart monk :)

@ Voem and Roger: You will not regain one HP tonight, but if you would like to ask Daemon for his services in healing, he may help you.

@ Rogor

My intent with that video was to simply voice my opinion whether or not you should rejoin the campaign. Glad to see you back.

Haha thanks :P I was just messin with ya dude :)


Male Human Sorcerer 1 (Elemental Bloodline: Water)

Hey guys, there's a tornado thunder storm warning for my area, so I probably won't be able to be on the computer for most of today. However, I'll try to keep up with what's going on from my phone.


I live in Florida so I know what those are like.

Keep safe man!


Male Halfling Master Summoner 5

I'm in Atlanta, so the storms are threatening, but not here yet. Maybe tonight. If i'm very very lucky they'll be no power at my job and I'll just play on my ipad all day. ;-)

On another note:

Kale, Your avatar screams Paladin to me. Every time I see it I keep thinking you're the pally. lol


Male Dwarf Cleric/1 HPs 10/10

Well over here in the south of England, the weather is doing better than the paladin...:( Usurper of avatars..


Male Human(Lich) Cleric 3, Wizard 3, Mystic Theurge 4

@Arvind, I like how you keep saying that we signed an evil contract but never once did you mention to any of us that you used detect evil or what the result was, therefore we would not know that we were signing an evil contract in the first place, we just saw it as a way out

I kinda thought going on the ...I cast detect evil .. and that it is evil ...was more the kind of meta game thing...so thought, maybe naively, that when a paladin says something is evil, of the devil etc.. then he means it, and its backed up with some evidence rather than just a way of speech. You'll be pleased to know the contract is evil, according to my detect evil ability.


Male Halfling Master Summoner 5

I'm a rogue. Shadow society appeals to me better than regular society. ;-)

Also I just offered an interesting compromise, which I highly suspect won't be accepted. Though I did roll a nat 20 with a +5 bonus to diplomacy. Couldn't have timed that better if I tried. ;-)

It really depends on which way this campaign is going. If the king accepts we're heroes. If he declines we're forced to rely upon the shadow society for our survival. I'm fine with either.


I doubt the diplomacy will do anything but lets see, with a roll THAT good it should hopefully do SOMETHING.

Also, I think those of us who signed the contract are stuck for it regardless of the outcome.

Agreed, but whatever gets us out of prison i'm down for.

DMDT:
Schimtty is really going to be looking HARD for any possible means of escape after this, assuming we're not hanged. The very loose plan thus far is to wait until we're being fed next and tumble past the guards and run out of sight until I can hide. Both those rolls are pretty high so I've got a decent chance for success. After that If possible I plan to do what I can to break the others out of prison. I wanted to let you know so you could plan some idea how that might work out in your head.

I didn't mean you literally had to say "hey, i detect evil" but saying "I will not sign that evil document" could be taken as "oh, its a person from a band of assassins and I wont sign it because its 'evil'"

I am not saying how you should have done it, i have actually enjoyed how the game has run so far, but had I been in your shoes I would have told everyone something to the effect of "Hey guys, my god/goddess has given me the ability to see evil auras and that contract is definitely radiating one!" though probably a little less flippant lol


Male Half-elf Ranger 1

You okay down south? I live near a dam and the whole area is flooded, but at least it's alright downstream for now.


Male Halfling Master Summoner 5

I'm good here in Atlanta. The skies parted and the storm went around us. Atlanta, in this and many other things, is an island.


You better not send that storm down here to Orlando!

Finally back home! I'll get to posting/catching up now. Glad to say that there were no damages to my home/car, or to my friends.

Its because the picture is that of a lion knight or something. I don't remember the exact name or source, but I've seen the picture somewhere.


And now we play the waiting game to see what the King and his Advisor do.

Were i the king I'd have us all shot for insolence, but i'm sure I'd be assassinated in fairly short order.


Male Dwarf Cleric/1 HPs 10/10

Hey it a Royal wedding day, the King's bound to be in a good mood....doh, no that's in RL.


Glad to hear that everyone is safe and sound. Please excuse my slow posting, I have had a lot of work the past couple of days. I hope I haven’t scared you all by putting you in such a difficult and intense environment so early, but trust in me! I will try to let your actions govern what happens to you directly as much as possible, but in some cases, the plot demands what the plot demands... Hope everyone is having fun!


Male Human Sorcerer 1 (Elemental Bloodline: Water)

I'll be waiting for a few more pc posts before I have Kale react, since he's more than a bit nervous about the contract, and wants to see what his companions are doing before he makes a decision.

And I'm having a ton of fun! :)


Male Dwarf Cleric/1 HPs 10/10

I'm even enjoying i.t, though the Pally is a bit out on a limb. I hope you don't mind me taking you down into the sewers, but the noose would be the end for me, I think....OK stop cheering you alls....


I am waiting for everyone to respond to this because it will affect what happens next. Also, note that you have never been manacled in the courtroom! :0

Oh, then just disregard the manacled part of my descriptions.


Male Half-elf Ranger 1

So sorry for my slow post. I've been on the move a lot the past few days and didn't get a chance to. I'm glad nobody got hurt in the storms. Having a blast with the game!


Male Halfling Master Summoner 5

I seem to have an issue with the internet at my job. My posts will be at night mostly until I fix the issue. FYI.


Male Human Sorcerer 1 (Elemental Bloodline: Water)

I am so sorry for not posting sooner. I was ill the past few days.


Male Dwarf Cleric/1 HPs 10/10

Please check my equipment for the paladin, the character is now updated with his stuff....


I am fine with you guys being creative and having lots of cool stuff, but please try to keep it reasonable and fitting to your character. If you do decide to get thing like flasks of acid and cold iron flails and barbed vests, please explain how you came to have them in your background. These sound more like the kinds of things you might find exploring dungeons rather than in the circus or the church or on a small farm...
These kinds of things are a little strange, but if you give a good story or explanation for them, I will consider allowing them. I would also like to stick to the core rulebook. Any special items I see fit to introduce will come in due time! Just try to stick to your character and his background. Have no fear, you will be adventuring soon, and I have a hunch that you will all find some nice things laying around...

@Schmitty: You start speaking common and Halfling. You have a +2 Int. modifier, so you get to pick two other languages you can speak.

Other then buying em in a store during his travels I cant think of a reason I would have any of the stuff, so I will just take it off, no biggie.


@Roger: Thank you, that just makes more sense to me. The brass knuckles seem like something pretty easy to get/make, so if you like you may work those into your story. The question is what kind of fighting you will be specializing in: Will you fight with a quarterstaff or with a club or mostly hand-to-hand, etc.?

Hand to Hand. I am not a fan of weapon based monks personally.
