Yes, or I can't see. Got to mostly conceal it.

Explanation on merging and deleting posts:
As much as I want to be...I am not very well organized...especially when I game online. So, I have posts spread out all over the damn place. It was difficult going back and forth during the first campaign arc and I promised myself I wouldn't do that with this second arc. But, I didn't create a separate thread for the Draw and realized it was all under the single Gryrax thread. So...I've been doing some maintenance today; it's not perfect, but at least all of the posts for The Draw battles are in one thread.
Is that clear or did I just muddy the water? :)

Muddy Waters was one hell of a blues man! ;-)

I assume we're now posting again?

You must have missed my promotion to level 10 as well... tsk tsk.

So I need more languages... how many? I suck at creation lol

Damn, posted in the wrong thread!

Base languages for an Elf character: Elf, Common, Halfling, Gnome, Orc, Goblin, Hobgoblin, Gnoll.

+1 language for each point of INT over 15.

Yeah, completely overlooked that. You'll get there, eventually...maybe :)

Get to be under the path of the eclipse today.   Fun times

I'm old, couldn't care less about an eclipse.

Lots of apocalyptic conspiracies about it from nut jobs galore! I'll be in the garage, drinking beer and getting my albums ready for my pop up show tomorrow night at a local brewery. Good times!

Got a good view of the last one back in 1999 here in the UK and the world didn't end then, can't imagine it'll end now either.

What kind of show you put on Gary?

I'm part of a vinyl record club here in town and we meet one Tuesday night a month at a local brewery. They let us take over the music for the evening and we just sit around, drink beer, and shoot the shit for about three hours. It's a great evening.
And our club leader organizes a record show twice a year at the same brewery with 20 vendors, food trucks, DJ's etc. It's a fun day.
So, tomorrow night, I'm bringing a few boxes of albums to sell and I'm hoping for a few folks to show up :)

I used to have a huge vinyl collection back in the day. Sold it all cheap to friend who was a vinyl connoisseur, who has since passed.

That is so cool! My brother and I got into music before we even hit our teens, but he then went on to be a journalist who also covered the local music scene (and all of Scotland) so he amassed a huge collection of vinyl and then CDs. Still has most of it. I concentrated on gaming instead! But we both like a beer, and local breweries are great.

I have Tera Bytes of music in digital on my computer. A HUGE collection. Thousands of albums covering everything pretty much 1920's to 1990's. Doo Wop, Heavy Metal, Classic Rock, Classic Country, Classical, Folk, R&B, Motown, Classic Blues, Jazz, Big Band & Swing, a lot of it quite rare!

wow, we need to compare, would love to add some more swing, got several tb as well.


FYI: Cos is not a big fan of being captured. Hope you have a few more spells at your disposal.

Would you say there’s enough bodies around to animate dead and let me raise six undead to fight with us? His alignment is neutral good. Considering the situation we’re in and all the dead bodies with the battle that happened would be more concerned about his companions surviving and would do what would be necessary to help.  If I can, I can raise up to six

Are you allowed? You probably can't cast evil spells, or is that just 3.x edition?

As per the 1E PHB: -

"The act of animating dead is not basically a good one, and it must be used with careful consideration and good reason by clerics of good alignment."

So it's probably a last resort, which you could (IMO) argue plausibly in this case.

no doubt, i wasn't sure

I would say this is the last resort. Because there are 20+ goblins that we have to either fight or get away from. Unless there’s another fireball, which I believe you’re out of spells, we’ll be pretty screwed. So this is more or less the last resort because being captured by goblins is not good and if it doesn’t happen, we’ll most likely lose. There’s a bunch of dead bodies, still lying around from the big battle. So it’s not digging up the dead and raising them. It’s a matter of necessity spell. That would be my justification for using it, and my alignment is neutral good

Hmmm, where's Gary? Hope he had a nice weekend.

I'm here > apologies for not getting a post in today; the trip was a good one and I've been scrambling all day to catch up with various things around the house.
