Re: OOC - General Chat 03

Okay so a minor cultural difference happened.  Because we're on the '2nd level' I thought we had gone up 2 flights of steps.  From the picture it appears to be just one.

Normally, I'd expect: ground floor, 1st floor, 2nd floor.

So, thanks for clearing that up :)

That's why I realized I might need to better illustrate it incase language failed.

Re: OOC - General Chat 03

Okay, seeing as some of you are suffering from analysis paralysis, how about discussing what you'd like to do?  Talking helps decide things.

Here is an update to current map of the area. https://i.gyazo.com/f621c349bf...8522f512c0eaaeb3.png

@Willa: yeah the DC for detecting magic with arcana is ridiculous in heroic.

Uh - Don't think I have been doing this, sorry >.<

Luckily Willa doesn't eat and has an ever-burning torch for lighting.  However, what supplies do we need for lighting a campfire?  She has flint and steel for sparks, but what about fuel?  Could we use things from the environment, or do we need to give something up?

Also, Willa has just 1 waterskin.  I assume umbreans need to drink (?) so is that empty now?

Thanks :)

Re: OOC - General Chat 03

@Willa: Usually I don't worry about your supplies, as you are generally out in the wild and have some easy access to drink and water that gets abstracted into your resting cycle.  However you are deep in a dungeon and in a place you can not get access to either food or water.  You are cut off.  So supplies start to matter then, this is why I mentioned it.  Also Umbreans do eat physical food, but vanishingly little.  Willa can subsist on a thimble of organic material a day with no issue.  Water on the other hand is the limiting factor.  Despite her size Willa consumes as much water as an adult human being.  You had access to water on your journey from the crystal tower so you would have at least refilled your waterskin there.  Food wise, I hope you brought rations.  Though for Willa 1 ration would last a little over a week (say 8 days worth of food from 1 standard travel ration).  You don't have to fret about Amare, he has explained he doesn't need food, sleep or water.  He is also an emergency source of supplies as he can create simple, mundane items.  Though how adept he is at making food is a matter up for debate.

Re: OOC - General Chat 03

Okay well, Willa doesn't have any rations.  I never knew I needed them because I'd been led to believe (probably by a misunderstanding somewhen) that umbreans feed solely of of psionic energy.  This is the first I've heard about her needing any other type of food :/

Re: OOC - General Chat 03

Oh its only really a worry if you are drinking pure water, believe it or not, you typical water source contains enough contaminants that it would classify as food for Willa.  So she may entirely be under a false impression of how her own body works (this was intentional).

I'll be npcing Phelan for a post as his player seems unable to post and he's had more than enough time to do so.

Well you did now!  You'll need that because you are almost certainly going to get into more fights before you make your way through the tunnels.

Re: OOC - General Chat 03

For my own peace of mind - did the xp and token rewards get updated in the Universal Info Book?  (because I was too dumb to check the totals before).  Thanks :)

Re: OOC - General Chat 03

I have updated the tokens after the last battle, but I haven't updated anyone else's XP because of stepping-on-toes potential. We should be at 3835 each.

Cebakaala:

Thanks Ceba!

Here's the thing with the xp, though - at some point mine was linked to the journal page, so I thought it was being updated by somebody there.  So I just checked thinking, np - I'll just update it on the Journal page myself.  Then I noticed something very clever, whoever was updating it there before, had itemised many of the xp gains, as follows:

2900+150+25+250+150+100+180=3755

Which is awesome, many thanks to whoever whoever did that! So a quick check between that total and Ceba's shows the difference to be 80xp (3835 and 3755).  Exactly what was just awarded.  Which means everything is cool and matches up great.  However, because the xp on the sheet was itemised so readily, I decided to check the previous xp award before this one, just because.  Unfortunately, its not 180, its 190!  Could be a typo, right?  Sure but then the end tallies would not be 80 xp different.  So I did an audit and came up with the following xp awards:

23-Apr-18 -  80xp
07-Jan-18 - 190xp
15-Dec-17 - 200xp
21-Sep-17 - 180xp
19-May-17 - 180xp
05-Apr-17 - 100xp
18-Feb-17 - 250xp & 150xp
13-Oct-16 - 25xp
10-Oct-16 - 150xp

As you can see the series in the Journal Tally: 150+25+250+150+100+180, matches up to the xp awards between 10-Oct-2016 and 19-May-2017.  So, what happened to the xp after 19-May-2017? Was it added into the xp chunk at the start of the formula, or has it not been added on at all?

Well, thankfully, our illustrious GM has helped answer that.  On 18-Feb-17, along with the xp awarded, he told us that our total xp was: 3475.  2900+150+25+250+150=3475!  This means the 2900 xp in the journal tab can only be all xp awarded before 10 October 2016.  Conclusion?  We have not tallied our xp since 19-May-2017!

Total current xp should therefore be: 2900+150+25+250+150+100+180+180+200+190+80=4405!

I've updated the journal, if anyone's xp isn't still linked to it, I suggest you re-link it.  Unless of course, you think I have screwed up somewhere, in which case the information to put everything back to how it was is here and I'll do so, if you point out my error.

Thanks :)

@Willa: I was the one updating them until this time last year when I asked one of you to take over.  Nobody took the job.

Re: OOC - General Chat 03

Ah I remember you asking at the time and OOC being quite quiet on the subject, but I didn't realise no one had taken the responsibility on in the end.  Sorry :/

I'll do it, if no one else wants to.

Also, @Drex: did Drex actually find a convenient 'safe' alcove, or is that just your (the player's) assumption based on your rolls?

Re: OOC - General Chat 03

In reply to Willa (msg # 200):

@Author told me to roll Perception and Dungeoneering DC13 on both. So Drex found a storage alcove. And to Drex it seems relatively safe. Let's hope that it is...

I think we should select someone for the job. Otherwise we will assume someone is doing it and then no one is. Which means we will never lvl. :(

Re: OOC - General Chat 03

It's the advantage they have of being able to IM me about stuff, so I can tell them what to roll and they can make their own posts on the subject with the details I provide if they succeed.  Phelan does this routinely.

If you don't mind Willa, I'd like to vote you. Honestly I hadn't been doing it because I thought you already were doing it and didn't want to step on your toes!
