Re: OOC Chat

Welcome aboard. We have three players so far (maybe four). Nothing is set in stone yet - eg. races and even names are still flexible at this point.

I will be looking for a few more players but I will wait a few more days to give old friends a chance to join in before advertising more widely.

Sir Galabriel the Holy, Elven Paladin of Virtue was my first choice, of course.  But I worked out that in order to reduce his Intelligence/Wisdom low enough that he was able to successfully rationalise his monstrous associates as "rowdy sorts, rough spoken, but kind-hearted really" (confusing torture with tickling f'rinstance), then most autonomous functions such as heartbeat and breathing would have shut down long ago. :>

Re: OOC Chat

Aaaaah, but you raise an interesting philosophical point. With so many games and genres to choose from the kind of person who chooses even more weird over say a manga or sci if stream out of character probably still has view points that mirror the persona they have chosen for this game. There is a part of me that recognises that we have teased your kobold paladin theorem quite harshly and would have stopped long ago, I usually play the good guy. However wether I'm actively playing "minmorc" or simply listening to my own inner Ork I really am curious as to wether kobolds taste like chicken (big toothy grin). When I think kobold I don't think fighter at all, I think of little punching bags who hold out hope against hope that they really are descended from dragons and through hard work and determination one in a thousand of them do become epically scary arcane casters. It is only fair that on that day they find out what Orc tastes like.

Re: OOC Chat

Hey folks, most of us have low-light vision or darkvision, right? This means that we get a huge tactical advantage by attacking at night, when the "civilized" races are at their weakest. On the flip side, we'll have to rest during the day, so we'll have to set watch during daylight hours, where we can see hostiles coming from quite a distance away.

It's a win-win!

Except for my character's light sensitivity in bright light. :(

What makes you think you will always be battling the 'good' races? You are in a land over-run by orcs, goblins, ogres, giants, etc. The basic premise of the game is that you are trying to stay ahead of the 'good' armies sweeping back into the land. Just because you have a common enemy (the 'good' races), don't assume that the evil humanoid you bump into in the night is going to be your friend.  ;o)

Re: OOC Chat

I don't have a problem with evil alignment as such - we play good characters all the time without overt displays of selflessness and generosity - the flip side for evil is that they don't all have to be out for world domination and loosing demonic forces upon the world ... leave all that to the Dark Lords and Evil Necromancers and concentrate on pettier matters.

BUT what the game won't take so well is intra-party conflict, and that's somewhat more likely with evil chars than with good ones if we're sticking strictly to alignments.  Our alter-egos need to find some reason to stay together and minimise the mayhem around the campfire.  Shouldn't be that difficult, though - rationalising it, it means the smaller, weaker races (goblins/kobolds) will be very wary of antagonising the bigger, meaner ones, while they in turn know the value of spell casters, healers etc.

On a more practical level, it comes down to us players (as we control these lovable scamps, after all) - some friction between characters is inevitable, and undoubtedly we'll establish a pecking order ... but from the banter above I'm confident it'll all work out.  Der gods declare it so !! <grins>

Wyrm ... heh, not more dinosaurs ?!!  And we can't just teleport back into Greyhawk City for a shopping expedition in this new Age of Darkness ! <ROFL>

Interesting, I'd have thought that neutral would be the most boring alignment alignment to play.  I tend to have a little too much fun when I'm evil, last evil character I played was a necromantic cleric with a knack for making friends.
I plan on tackling the evil inter party politics by making this party my orcs new tribe, this character is aggressive and brutish but he knows that he's not a leader and he knows that he's not yet strong enough to go it alone.

<grins> My character is a goblin priest of Bargrivyek who espouses cooperation between goblin tribes as the one true path to world domination ... good game, good game.

So he's already rather pragmatically inclined towards negotiation and everyone getting along together.  All in a bad cause.

Logic is rather simple, really - me getting killed is a) very bad for me, obviously and b) not going to help the cause any ... so anything that stops me getting killed has to be an improvement on the alternative. :>

Must re-read Grunts by Mary Gentle soon to get into the proper frame of mind ... "The usual last battle between Good and Evil is about to begin ... the forces of light are outnumbered, full of headstrong heroes devoid of tactics .. .but the Light's still going to win !"

Re: OOC Chat

So far, we have:

1. A goblin cleric of an evil god, so he'll be able to take control of the walking dead, at least, those that have been left uncontrolled when their necromancer/cleric/blackguard got ganked.

2. A goblin druid who can summon animals and fight alongside his animal companion.

3. An orc archer with a nice bow and the strength and dexterity to use it.

4. An orc warrior, one possibly possessing some divine magical ability.

5. And a kobold necromancer, whose crowd control (I hope you took Sleep as one of your 1st-level spells) and access to minions and powerful disabling spells (Ray of Enfeeblement, Ray of Exhaustion, Enervation, etc.) act as force multipliers in battle.

From both an IC and an OOC perspective, Nurzhan will suggest to the party to leave the primary damage dealing role to himself. He can attack all day long, provided enough arrows at hand, while the rest of the party's magical abilities are too precious to be wasted on damage dealing unless absolutely necessary. Summoning, battlefield control, and debuffing are far more efficient than straight damage dealing spells.

As for goals...

My character plans on establishing his race as a major power in the region. While he can't possibly turn the orc clans towards civilized and peaceful pursuits within his short orcish lifespan, he can probably nudge them towards fighting a greater evil than themselves in exchange for a truce with the civilized races. Evil army of doom plans to enslave everything, orcs like to kill anything, so orcs can fight the big bad evil guy alongside the common races so they can do good while still getting to kill things and take their stuff. It's a win-win situation.

To get that far, he will need allies that he can trust. That's where the party comes in. Now, we each have our own goals, so we could help each other accomplish our goals. So, what are each of our characters' goals?

Unfortunatly, I though I was the only one.

All very nice -  But all very meta-gamey and with an awful lot of assumptions. I never did go very much on that 4e type analysis/planning either.  *shrug*  I am sure Nurzhan will do what ever he thinks is appropriate to achieve whatever personal goals he has. As will Jurz.

For me, personal goals are RP aids for the the player - things that guide me in the way I decide how the character acts, not a publicly stated aim.  Part of the fun of RP is trying to work out another characters personal goals and aims, and then, as a player, working out how your own character will react to them.

Re: OOC Chat

Some classes lend themselves to assumptions, though - looking at what's in our little group: clerics generally follow their god's aims (if they know what's good for them), and druids tend to be fond of the natural world ... so what they are defines them moreso than your fighter/rogue/wizard types.

I agree with Jurz that character aims and any resultant give and should best come out in game, in character ... but by the same token, with the all too real possibility of party disunity, I'm happy to come to general accommodations OOC to explore why we would be working together ... though that might be somewhat flavoured by our starting situation.  Running away and staying alive sound like good aims for the moment.

8 People? That's no 'little group'.

Sorry but I will not reveal what my char can and cannot do.

If I have to work with a group, cool. I can use them and make then undead later if they die. If I die, that's all good too.

If I have to do it alone, that's good too.

Its a game.

Re: OOC Chat

The other three player characters not listed in Nurzhan's summary above are a goblin sorcerer, a bugbear and maybe a minotaur? Those characters are still in development.

Xander Xalus is the only necromancer in this group. The mention of a necro/cleric/blackguard in item 1 on Nurzhan's list was not talking about anyone in this group, just whichever baddy created any undead that the evil clerics in the party would be able to rebuke/command.

Now, the really important question ... who can run fastest? Or perhaps that should really be, who is the slowest?  ;o)

Edited my character description. Apparently, I bought a greatsword and not a greataxe in this game as a backup weapon.

Also, I just realized that orcish Light Sensitivity is a joke; just -1 to attack rolls, Spot, and Search. That's it. It's not like I get blinded or worse when exposed to bright light. Whee!

-1 to hit is basically like a 5% greater chance to miss. Orcs get +4 strength, so with the right bow for his strength he is getting +2hp damage every time he does hit. Seems like a pretty good trade off to me.  :o)

Re: OOC Chat

Umm. I have to pick 2.

1: Enchament
2: Illusion or Divination

Divination is NOT the 'more powerful school'. Each school depends on how you use it. There's no school that is better then the others.

So, I don't know where you got 'divination is one of the powerful schools'

Hmm.

You have to pick 2 schools you cannot use unless your a Diviner then you have to pick one.

If Divination was a powerful school then why do you have to pick one instead of two?

Its not.

Re: OOC Chat

Skeletal Minion is pretty good for utility purposes. You get a tireless laborer who will never complain nor need to eat and drink. You can have it start digging a trench in the morning and it will continue doing so nonstop until it is finished. It can also carry heavy loads for you, which is quite useful for a kobold because Small races have a carrying capacity penalty compared to Medium creatures like the Skeletal Minion.

You can use it in combat as a last ditch solution, but it is otherwise too useful and too expensive to employ it as such.

P.S.

The original use of zombies in folklore was as free labor. Living slaves still needed to eat, drink, and rest, while a zombie could work nonstop. In fact, in some contemporary fantasy world's, zombies are used as free labor. Their use as fearless, low maintenance soldiers is just a step away from civilian work. The Kingdom of Karrnath in the Eberron Campaign Setting has a particularly utilitarian view of undead as part of their labor force and military. Their necromancers are pretty much just doing their duty to their country,  and the citizens pretty much see undeath as a sort of immortality. Why let my body go to waste when it can serve my fellow citizens?

Re: OOC Chat

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/clas...schoolSpecialization

"A school is one of eight groupings of spells, each defined by a common theme. If desired, a wizard may specialize in one school of magic (see below). Specialization allows a wizard to cast extra spells from her chosen school, but she then never learns to cast spells from some other schools.

A specialist wizard can prepare one additional spell of her specialty school per spell level each day. She also gains a +2 bonus on Spellcraft checks to learn the spells of her chosen school.

The wizard must choose whether to specialize and, if she does so, choose her specialty at 1st level. At this time, she must also give up two other schools of magic (unless she chooses to specialize in divination; see below), which become her prohibited schools.

A wizard can never give up divination to fulfill this requirement.

Spells of the prohibited school or schools are not available to the wizard, and she can’t even cast such spells from scrolls or fire them from wands. She may not change either her specialization or her prohibited schools later."

Also, I did not ask for a link to it and would have prefer it if it was sent via PM.

I simply -asked- for what 2 I should restrict.

So please stop.

I always allow PCs to choose any school which includes Divination.

Its not a 'powerful school'.

Re: OOC Chat

I rarely choose to specialise my wizards,  if I wanted extra spells and less options I'd play a sorcerer.  I think that the spell casters will suffer until higher levels when they'll come into their own.
Minmorc can't wait for the game to begin so that he can challenge nurzhans declaration of party damage dealer, my pointy stick is bigger than yours. And if you are resurrected by a second level necromancer you'll be lucky to keep your skin. I'm sorry but you'll need to find someone much more powerful before you can be dead and still look good. (I will never forgive twilight and true blood for pretty little vampires, bram stoker had it right goddammit!)
I look forward to reading the kobolds description of where it learned necromancy, should be interesting.
So far I think the goblins are cool, I'm already starting to feel a little protective towards them.
Shadows, feel free to sit on my head, if you could clear off some lice we could have that arrangement that elephants and little birds have on the savannah : )
And I'm sorry bully but now that you've pointed out little mothdust I'm getting really curious about what I'm not supposed to look at. I thought it was a goblin but now I'm wondering if it's a little bugbear or an illusion, a messed up little pixie, a really pretty frog, what is it!?

Re: OOC Chat

Evocation is widely considered the weakest of the eight schools of magic because it scales very badly. The iconic Fireball spell, for example, deals 1d6 damage per level, up to 10d6. In 2e, most creatures did not gain HP after level 10, or gain only a tiny amount of HP for each level above that. In 3e and in 3.5, HP scales indefinitely, with monster HD scaling faster than their challenge rating increases. Whereas 2e monsters would have 100, 200 HP at most for the most extreme cases, monsters in 3e and in 3.5 can easily go beyond 300, 400, even into the thousands.

The most powerful blasting spell in Core 3.5, Meteor Swarm, deals 32d6 damage if all four fireballs are aimed at the same target. That is an average of 112 damage on a failed save, or a measly 56 damage on a successful save (and monsters at that high level will save more often than not). A well-built fighter, one that isn't uber-twinked, just one that made smart feat and weapon selections, can easily do hundreds of damage per round. All day long.

Perhaps a better example would be spells at the same level as Fireball. At level 5, the earliest level you can cast Fireball, you will be dealing 5d6 damage. That's 17.5 damage on a failed save, or 8.25 damage on a successful save. On the other hand, if you cast Haste on the party (five targets at caster level 5), you can pretty much double the damage output of the warriors in your party, resulting in more damage overall than if you simply blasted those goody-two-shoes paladins with your Fireball.

When I say that Evocation is the weakest school, I'm not saying that it is useless. It's just that, compared to the more efficient magic at the disposal of the other schools, it ends up being somewhat underwhelming. Remember, context is everything. In a vacuum, Evocation is good. Compared to the out-of-combat and HP-bypassing capabilities of the other schools, it feels underwhelming.

That's my two copper coins. :D

P.S.

I assumed Minmorc was a divine caster based on his character description. Now that I know he is a barbarian, I know he will outdamage me for sure. Fortunately, I can stand safely in the back and snipe at the enemy, so I'll get hurt less often. :D

I am not telling you what to do. I am merely giving my opinion on the matter. I deliberately worded my reply to be as neutral and informative as possible to avoid bossing around my fellow player. If that is how my conversational tone comes across, then I apologize. The Internet doesn't transmit the nuances of body language and subtleties of tone very well.

On the other hand, your tone has been rude and aggressive from the get-go, even before I joined this game. You react with hostility to me and the other players disagreeing and/or poking fun at your arguments, and you become very defensive when you ask for our opinions and we give it to you. Furthermore, your constant, "Wow..." is extremely rude. Your tone comes across as someone who thinks that the other person is an ignorant hick unworthy of your time. Again, this may not be the tone that you intended to convey, but it is what how you are coming across to me.

This is OOC chat, for Pete's sake! We're not supposed to be all serious and IC in here. This is basically the place for fun stuff that we can't have in the actual game.

This is going to be my last reply regarding this matter. Let us move on to another topic.

Can I suggest that we don't use this OOC for build and optimisation discussions?  They always finish up in disagreements - and then they fill up the OOC with  posts that some people feel are 'discussion' and others feel are 'argument'.  TBH that is why I stay well away from the discussion forums here, and rarely go near similar fora on any other site - They always finish up grumpy.  Anyway, I come here to RP, not have long discussions on tactics or rules.

Secondly - it really doesn't matter what the other players here come up with as ideas.  Its down to the GM what goes and what doesn't.  PM Wyrm if you have a rules question or you want something that doesn't quite fit with the rules or there is some sort of discrepancy.

Just kidding, but this group has indeed lost its token kobold. Unfortunately I couldn't be online yesterday while while that was going on but perhaps the final outcome is for the best anyway.

Goodbye, Xander Xalus. I hope you find another game that works out better for you.

Now, is everyone else happy to play together?

Nurzhan looks like he is going to be the sort of character that wants to plan out party strategies but I suspect his player is already starting to realise that a lot of the other (evil humanoid) characters in this game probably won't play ball. But hopefully that will all just be part of the fun for everyone. This game is about a bunch of evil humanoids just trying to stay alive, to start with, not happy families. How it will finally end up is anybody's guess.

Hang on !  I just found this ... who you callin' 'big nose' ? ;P

I always think of goblins as green, despite the MM description, though the piccy I found favoured big ears as well as the big nose.  Disturbing in someone only 3' tall !  Astonishingly and unsusually goblins' base move is still 30' !

An oddity in the rules would suggest that he can wear a normal chain shirt (light armour, weighs 25lb) and his movement rate remains at 30' (cos it's based on base speed), but if he ever gets his grubby paws on a mithril version of same, which weighs only 10lb a) he'll probably be rended limb from limb not only by his greedy fellows, but also by any elf/dwarf within 8 leagues, and b) movement rate drops to 20' per description (cos he's a Small creature), despite the fact it's lighter !

It's enough to make you paranoid.  What's that now - 3 goblins in our merry band (me, Jurz and Moffdust ?)  We should form a self help group ! :>

I have to say I was wary of his character.  I got the feeling that he wasn't a team player and had a very personal agenda for the game.

Xander Xalus:
If I have to work with a group, cool. I can use them and make then undead later if they die. If I die, that's all good too.

If I have to do it alone, that's good too.


I also got the impression (rightly or wrongly) from his comments, that there would have been a lot of calculated 'evil' in his play, which tends to makes me feel a bit uncomfortable.  But in terms of 'rude' it was 50-50 at best.  He was happy to dish out his ideas as robustly as he wanted -  but didn't like other people knocking them down.

Still enough of that.  What is done is done.

Well, not everyone has finished all the character creation process yet but I am going to get the game started anyway. To start with it will just be a time to sort out who knows who and whether any of you manage to get together before the action starts.

If you haven't finished your character creation yet, it's time to get a move on, at least with the mechanical details of ability scores, class abilities, skills, feats, spells, weapons and equipment.  ;o)

Re: OOC Chat

Technically, that is probably the case.

Statistically, doubling the damage works out the same in the long term - although it skews the damage done range slightly.  Rolling two dice separately will give more  'average'   outcomes than doubling the die.

However, it means that you get unfortunate results like doubling a one.  I doubled automatically, because that is what we do in my table top game and any games I run on here.  I never have been very strong on the "Roll Play" aspects of this game and tend to do as much as I can to reduce the number of dice I finish up rolling. :)

Obviously, if Wyrm wants me to roll separately, I will.

Everyone has posted this round so I have posted an update in the main game thread. The game won't keep on at this pace, I'm sure, and I couldn't keep updating it this often either, but for today we can thank a public holiday here where I live.  ;o)

By the way, I have updated character sheets where appropriate to reflect spells and ammunition that have been used and wounds received and cured. I will try to keep up to date with that each round, too.

Re: OOC Chat

My wife has cleverly resolved the vexing question of goblin skin colour.  She postulates that goblins are akin to capsicums (known as bell peppers I believe in certain foreign climes) - they start off green, but turn first yellow and then red as they mature.  So goblins with red skin are much riper and tastier to eat, while us green goblins are considerably less sweet. :>

Clearly your wife is a sensible woman and has recognised that goblins change colour as they mature and the grow out of 'childish' thinking. A bit like humans change their hair colour to grey as they learn how to think.  You wife, were she a goblin, would clearly  have brown skin and be regarded as some sort of Gobbo Elder.

On the other hand you, dear Dregz,  must be her toy-gobboy.  After all, display your own colour with a clearly immature set of assumptions about flavour. :]

Justice? If there was any justice in this particular world the loyal squad of troops sent to punish a band of murdering deserters wouldn't be the ones taking heavy casualties in an ambush.  ;o)

This game has started at a fair pace but from past experience I would say it is likely to slow down a bit over time. One round a week is likely to be the game pace most of the time. Most of us have work or other real life pressures that mean we won't be online and posting every day. Of course, if things do move quicker than that I will be happy to do my bit when I can.  :o)

Re: OOC Chat

Man, Entangle is a powerful 1st-level spell! If not for our goblin druid, we'd be swarmed by the enemy orcs by now. However, since they're Entangled, we only have to deal with a few at a time.

I realized how powerful this spell was in the CRPG, Temple of Elemental Evil. It's a very buggy game that becomes awesome if you install the fan-made Circle of Eight patch, which fixes most of the bugs and adds a ton of content (bringing the level cap to 20, from 10 in the original unmodded game). There was a recruitable druid NPC named Meleny (who became the party leader's wife through a quest) who came in very handy at an area swarming with evil humanoids. Evil, melee humanoids, who couldn't do anything while Entangled. Fortunately, my entire party had ranged weapons, either as a primary weapon or as a backup, and I managed to take out most of the enemy before they could break free from the spell.

You started at the northern edge of the Oytwood and headed due south toward the heart of the forest. You have only gone about 10 minutes or so, so far. Probably not much more than one mile, so far.

It was about 10am when the confrontation with Uberthudd happened. Your forces had been in position at the edge of the forest hoping to ambush the Knights of the Watch because they only move forward during daylight hours when your forces are at a disadvantage.

Re: OOC Chat

This war has seriously messed with your sleeping habits. Most of you have been forced to stay awake during daylight hours, against your natural nocturnal inclinations, because that is when the enemy human forces are likely to attack. Of, course, your own leaders tend to plan counterattacks at night for obvious reasons, so no one has been sleeping well. You have all gotten used to snatching a few hours of sleep whenever you can, day or night. The bottom line is you can keep going until dusk before you would need to rest, or you can choose to stop any time before then if you want to.

I'm telling you it's not a dress, it's a kilt.

Everyone's trying to launder the money and we forgot about the clothes. I entered their home and they got really shirty with me. No matter how I pant I feel I've been unfairly collared, I thought someone was pulling my leg but it's turned into a real pain in the neck.

Re: OOC Chat  - Catching Wilson

The ball is in the air ... but how do you catch it?

We are talking about an inflated leather football surrounded by two iron bands that each have four 6-inch iron spikes sticking out of them. Sharp iron spikes.

I am thinking it wouldn't be too easy to catch that thing without one of those spikes making contact as you catch it. I'm thinking a DC15 Reflex save if the ball has been thrown to you for you to catch it. The spikes do 1d3 damage if you fail.

However, if it was thrown at you as a weapon the Reflex DC to catch it would be equal to the attack score of the person who threw it. If you fail you take 1d3 damage plus the thrower's strength bonus.

Does that sound about right?

Yep, and if you fail by five you drop it, it can be used as a melee weapon and if others are nearby they can choose to intercept (opposed reflex with highest catching the ball), spoil (make an attack against the ball) or pike (hit it to increase the reflex save for the catcher). Bwa ha ha.

Re: OOC Chat  - Catching Wilson

Anyone interested in testing out some D20 character build rules?

link to another game

Months ago we were talking about multi-classing in D&D,  and the conversation moved towards a D&D game without classes.  At the time I said I couldn’t see how it would work – and still stay D&D.  After all the whole ‘feel’ of D&D is levels, HD and classes.  But the idea stayed in my mind (a bit like an ear-worm) and churned around in my head anyway.  Then a few months later, I had an idea – and Classless D20 FRP was born.

Actually, it was nothing really new – I evaluated everything in terms of feats and feat chains. Then to get the balance, I added small feats and great feats to give more flexibility.

It has taken a while, but I think I have a working balance.

Your job, should you choose to accept it, is to build a few characters using the classless rules and see how they feel.

It is basic at the moment -  I have skills from Fighters, Thieves, Wizards and Clerics – although not all of the class skills have been incorporated  yet.  That is the next phase …

Re: OOC Chat

Just different game styles  :)

Personally, I tend to wait for GM confirmation.  After all, I (the player) don't know that the Minotaur has actually seen an elf.  It is a bit like O'Baddys hut - most of you guys saw something different to what Jurz (and a few others) saw.

I think there are variant rules that allow you to change your spell choices when you go up levels as some spells like sleep are great at lower levels but useless later on. Plus the mighty wyrm of weirdness is a pretty decent guy, if there was a small alteration to your character which would greatly enhance your enjoyment I'm sure he'd be fine with the change.

Re: OOC Chat

Minmorc is referring to the rule for Sorcerers in the 3.5 PHB that lets them swap one of their learnt 0-level spells when they reach 4th level, one of their 1st level spells when they reach 6th level, etc. Personally I have never played a single-class sorcerer to high enough levels to think about that anyway, but I would certainly allow something like that for any class that learnt a limited number of spells. It wouldn't be relevant for wizards, clerics, druids, etc.

For spells like Enlarge Person, Charm Person, Hold Person, I am happy to expand the definition of 'person' beyond 'humanoid' in this particular game to include any of the races that a character of your ECL could have been in this game. That doesn't mean you could use it on a full grown ogre (which is +2 level adjustment and comes under the subtype of giant) but I'll allow them to be used on a juvenile ogre, for example. So you can definitely use those spells on each of the characters in this group if you wish to.

They did give us Counterspelling which allows a caster to negate the same spell cast by another caster, which is similar ... but that only applies to spells as they're being cast, not the effects thereafter.

Re: OOC Chat

Just checked back on 1st Ed PHB, as that was a long time ago for failing memory ... ah, seems even then you had to pick which version of a reversible spell to memorise/pray for, so you couldn't just switch on the fly at the time of casting.

Short of the decidedly dodgy art of Counterspelling, I suppose our spontaneous casters from 3rd Ed (Sorcerer, Bard) are the only ones that could actually cast a reversible spell then - ie follow up one Enlarge Person with a Reduce Person to reverse the effect the next round.

Raven, the group has secured the rocky outcrop just south of the forest as a safe place to rest for the day after defeating the ogres that were on guard there.

Now it is time for everyone to level up to level 3 (or ECL3, as appropriate).

You can either edit your character sheet yourself or just tell me what changes to include and I'll do it for you. Class, hit points, skill ranks, feat, etc. Whatever you prefer.

Ok, I've gotten a little lost but I believe that having slain most of the Ogres we've made some "food" and sorted through the loot. We will then rest, those that need to pray will pray or focus on getting their spells back while the others cook then we'll all head to Gorna, travelling through the night. Is there anything else that anyone wants to do, anything that I've missed or is there anyone that doesn't want to go to Gorna?

In reply to Arlein (msg # 257):

Arlein has it spot on. I draw the maps in Paint, starting with a basic grey grid on white background I drew up years ago. I draw up shapes like that campfire as I need them (yes, that's just star shapes superimposed on top of each other). It is not an efficient process at all - very tedious in fact - but at least it produces a clear image and there is no doubt about distances, etc.

I'll probably experiment a bit more with use of PowerPoint instead of Paint as I recently discovered how to designate one background colour as transparent to allow irregularly shaped blocks to be cut and pasted on top of a base map.

I realise there are better tools out there but I basically just stick with what I know how to use.

Simple tool does everything you need well, power point maybe keep the characters as objects so its easier to click and drag insstead of copy and paste, but

Re: OOC Chat

He, not she.  <grins>  That's the down side of this type of on-line format. Little details like body language, facial expression, gender, etc. are often misinterpreted.

The main problem I have with using Paint is what format I should save the images in. I moved away from bmp early on because of file size (back when the file size limit on RPoL was really quite restrictive. But jpeg's blur the images while gif and png often do strange things to an area of solid colour like pixelating it, which sometimes makes it difficult to change the colour of that area when I want to change an area from unlit to lit, for example, or just recolour a square after I move a character's symbol from one square to another. I end up working with a very limited palette of colours that don't get messed up when I save it in png format. Perhaps I really should make the effort to switch over to something else like PowerPoint - maybe still draw up the base map in Paint but use PowerPoint to easily reposition characters and monsters from one round to the next.

But you know what they say about old dogs and new tricks.  ;o)

Re: OOC Chat

I use PNG, mainly because most of mine finish up on a game or setting website somewhere and size IS important (or so my wife tells me).  However, I haven't noticed problems with the colours, although I tend to use a restricted palette anyway.

Most of mine are regional maps or building plans that are referenced on-line during a TT session, I don't have Character Markers moved around them - so that makes it a bit easier.

I must, however, practice using thinner lines  and steal your way of drawing doors and windows :P

Re: OOC Chat

I did end up using PowerPoint on those maps for that latest encounter and it worked pretty well. Drew up the base map and things like character and monster markers in MS Paint, then copied and pasted them into PowerPoint. The combination seems to work fairly well and is much quicker to edit for each round, after setting it all up in the first place. Things like the semitransparent green circle for the entangle spell and textured rectangles for the collapsed tents made that a lot easier. It does result in bigger png files for the maps though, but fortunately still well within the limits allowed by RPOL. Overall I am pleased with the result and plan to continue using this combination.

Re: OOC Chat

Might be a bit of confusion here. Blood Bowl is not Rollerball. Blood Bowl is a series of novels set in the Warhammer fantasy setting. It imagines what a fantasy world version of rugby would look like. There are a lot of things borrowed humorously from the American NFL including the name of the god of Blood Bowl - Niffle, and an ogre and vampire who are the commentators for each game.

It would be fun to play a Blood Bowl game as an adventure - particularly a Dungeon Bowl game set in an actual dungeon, but it wouldn't work for most of the characters in this group. Probably only Minmorc, Bulldust and Grakk would be suited to that adventure. Maybe we can think about a spin-off as another game some time in the future if others are interested.

Re: OOC Chat

A while ago I had an idea for Minmorc - as there was no god that I knew of that purely represented athleticism (speed and strength) I decided to make Minmorc a champion of these ideals and the first cleric of Niffle in this world. The Minmorc character is going to have to become considerably more powerful to bring this about, so with the pace that online D&D plays at I doubt we'll have to worry about actually playing blood bowl until some point in the 2020's :) and as we'd be creating the rules for the game why not throw in a bit of quidditch, a couple of Goblins on broomsticks or defending your goals with anti air spells sounds like an asset to me.

I played in a group once where one of the players got his hands on a massive table of prices - individual items of clothing, trade goods, live stock - and they were delighted to find out just how cheap sheep were, a handful of gold coins per head. For quite some time after that we had a herd of sheep clearing traps from corridors, clogging enemy movement and providing decoys and illumination.  It's a good thing for us that world didn't have the RSPCA, we would have been public enemy no 1.

Re: OOC Chat

Not playing blood pig  (they normally do things like that, just for the craic) meant we went straight into a major encounter that I hadn't prepared as well as I could have done. Which all left me a bit of adventure short for to run up to the  'summer break' we are taking in a couple of weeks.

To get my own back, I have brought back Rolth the necromancer, Ghoul Lord Jolastina (who annoyed so much when she was alive thatshe got killed just because ...) and a cabbagehead flesh golem  :)  They will be softened up by a bunch of teeth that turn into skeleton warriors ala jason and the Argonaughts!

OOC: Just to clarify, I thought that everything of value had been gathered to be carried by the party and I assume the vast majority of it is in Minmorcs Hewards Handy Haversack.

Wasn't sure you could get a chest into a Heward's Handy Haversack ?  Weight restriction might not be a problem, but the size of the opening might be ?  Not sure what the official or GM's positions are on such.

Plus Dregz for one is very, very wary of sticking a chest inside which there is a powerful magic source inside an extra-dimensional space - just in case !  <grins>

In my tabletop game the party happily chucked a locked box containing (I think) a portable hole into a bag of holding.   I can't really remember which way around it was or what the actual items were -  but after a careful reading of the ruiles, I could rule that nothing imploded, exploded or deploded.

But the looks on  their faces, as I went for the rule books, that was precious  :)

The chest is indeed too large to fit through the opening at the top of a Heward's Handy Haversack, so it is still full of coins and locked with Riza's key.

The drow priest's fullplate armour would fit into the HHH, so that explains where the armour has gone to.

Hmm, what did happen there ... Oh yes, that's right. The necromancer had set up a Rope Trick spell as a safe refuge to hide for up to half a day if things went badly. He had even had the foresight to place his spellbooks in there so he could sleep and prepare new spells to resume battle the next day. He never got to use that escape plan as someone blew it up instead.  ;o)

Use whichever format suits you best.  Personally, I tend to stick with rtf or one of the doc formats, as all three are easy to display, edit and format.

However, if you really want PDF formats, as Oopses suggests - save them as a .doc format and google for a PDF converter.  Saves a lot of time, hassle and ink :)

Hey, I'm going to have a whinge and get this out in the open and off my chest.  This divvying up shares of the loot is bugging me.  I know everyone is pocketing stuff as we go along, and that's fine, Bully don't miss what he don't know about, so I'm not annoyed about that.  (In fact, if you're reading this and thinking you're not secretly pocketing some treasure then 'heads up' everyone else is - and fair enough I think, cos we're humanoids after all.  I am certainly not asking everyone to empty their pockets!)  The thing that's bugging me is it looks like the shared loot may not be shared equally.  Specifically, can the stuff just traded with Twofer please return an equal share to each PC, one eighth each?  That's 3067.5 / 8 = 383gp and 4sp and 4cp each.  After getting their share each PC can do there own trading secretly or openly as they please.  Bully wants to save up for something he can't afford yet, so he'd like to take a share in cash (hope Twofer can bend his rules to accommodate that).  How do you all feel about that?  Thank you for reading my whinge.

Re: OOC Chat

I don't know what you are saving up for, but the deal so far ...

"leaving up to 1892.5gp worth of magic items to be selected. Whatever is chosen will be available for the exchange tomorrow night (Night 7)"

So 1892.5gp to be claimed. Does that go some way to covering it? Jurz spoke up because the question was posed, rather than any other reason.  But outside of TwoFer -  there are only items up to 1000gp value available in town anyway, and if we are leaving town soon, it might be some time before we come to another magic store along the way.

Re: OOC Chat

Sorry, but there is a bit of a story behind Two-fer-one that your characters don't know anything about. He will literally only trade in magic items, not cash or other valuables. All I can suggest is that if anyone has cash and wants to buy magic items, or has magic items and wants to sell them for cash (selling price is generally half of the market value you would buy them for), tell me about it and I will match up swaps within the party as far as that is possible.


As far as sharing things equally within the party goes, this is the only game I have ever been involved with that didn't have a fairly equitable arrangement for sharing out treasure. But this game is pretty unusual as the party is dominated by evil humanoids, and there is plenty of opportunity for everyone to steal more than their fair share along the way. That really favours the more active players and sure enough, those who post least tend to have acquired the lowest share of the loot in this game. If you guys and gals want to change that, it is up to you to do something about it.

Must be clear, that's not having a go at the player at all, that's just the way I see things working in the world of the morally challenged creatures that we are.  Biggest and best gets what they want.  No, definitely not the way your typical party handles matters, but it's fun anyway - I'm very much enjoying trying to work out how best or indeed at all to use some of the stuff Dregz has got.  :>

Re: OOC Chat

Bully is saving for a Spell Storing enchantment to a weapon, so 8000gp.  I had thought that may be 1 or 2 levels off yet.

OK, so my reading of the comments so far is we should not expect an equitable system and each PC should do as they like.  I'll go with that.

Re: OOC Chat

Riza could make the distance if she knew where the old woman was but she wouldn't see her at the start of her run. 'Run' has to be in a straight line to move 4xSpeed in one round, so Riza will just be doing a double move this round anyway.

Riza will end up north-northeast of the northern big tent and from there she will just be able to see the old woman about 40 feet south of her, so Riza will be able to turn her attention to the old woman next round.

The other option is begging the dm for a spell that enchants 1 weapon per (one or two)level with +1d6 energy damage for 1 min.

No not sonic or force, don't even try.

Shocking/Cold/Fire, perhaps chosen at casting.

I'd like to say that wasn't credible ... but that's exactly the way the TSR UK5 Eye of the Serpent AD&D module starts out !

However, as Oopses so succinctly put it, no stretch at all to believe that Bargrivyek sent Raven to us.  Will of the gods and all that.  Manifest destiny.

Lucky this isn't Paranoia.  Raven doesn't know how she got here.  None of you know how she got here ... but if you don't find out soon, you're all going to be executed for treason.  And by the way, the desert is a Yellow clearance security zone and you're all Red level troubleshooters and have a lot of explaining to do.  Except for the goblins who are obviously Green.

Got to love Eye of the Serpent.  Brilliant map, and I have nicked ideas from it regularly over the years.

That whole UK series are some of my absolute favourites.

I am basing Ari's Birthday campaign on it.  Last year we did The Sentnel.  This year they go into The Gauntlet -  and the others supply the higher level stuff.  At one all-weekend session per module, I think the campaign is planned up until 2021  (or there abouts)

Real life tends to do that now and then. It is summertime here so there's always grass needing mowed, weeds pulled and gardening, besides the other summertime chores like cleaning out the chicken shed from the winter buildup of old straw, feathers and egg-producing by products. Then hauling said manure and straw to the composting heap. Cleaning out and refilling the ducks wading pool and the chicken's watering trough. Cleaning out feed barrels of old feed dust and refilling them with feed etc.

 LOL! Not always fun, but there are benefits. I LOVE duck eggs! They taste better than even chicken eggs do. And the gardening is a chose but the rewards of fresh vine ripened sun warmed tomatoes are to die for. Cucumbers lettuce and onions and egg plants and beans and squash help me survive the summers without buying a lot of food. I also have a small herb garden to use for cooking with, so it's all good.
 And the composting helps the garden grow...

 Eggs make good meat substitutes, egg salad, fried eggs, boiled eggs, poached eggs, baked eggs, omelettes, etc. Between the eggs, fried green tomatoes, fried squash, fried egg plant, or using them in lasagna or ravioli...I can live off these all summer without spending much at the store for meat. If it's too hot to cook, some salad, veggies and a bit of cottage cheese or peaches and pears off my trees makes a great cold plate! YUM!

 Besides I love summer vegetables! I grill them too, especially corn on the cob and Portobello Mushrooms. Rubbed with olive oil and smoked on the grill they make great "steaks" and "burgers". Yum!

Re: OOC Chat

The ceiling in these basement rooms is about 8 feet high so the three gnomes are weaving around through the air between about 5 to 8 feet above the floor.

The two stone tables are about 2'6" high so if 7ft tall Bulldust stands up straight he will bang his head on the ceiling.  ;o)

The last time we did a small pig  over an open fire it took something like 24 hours to cook properly.  Lambs take about the same sort of time.

A few weekends ago a normal/large sized joint of beef took about six hours to roast over a good sized cooking fire, and was nicely pink on the inside  :)

Re: OOC Chat

 I roasted my suckling pig in my oven. I had an antique tappan stove then, a HUGE very early edition of a gas stove. Even so, the oven door wouldn't quite close all the way so I had to roll foil up into "pipe shapes" and stuff them all around the oven door to keep the heat in. Slow roasted all day. It was New Years Eve. It was sooo good. People stood around the pig where it stood pride of place in the center of a small table, pulling off strips of golden skin and scooping up the tender meat because it was so tender you didn't need a knife to cut it. Just pull it off the bone.

 I think it was about 25 or 30 lb piglet. People got to take some home with them, and it lasted us a few days as leftovers as well. Nobody went home hungry!

 Usually I made an 18 or 20 rib standing Crown Rib Roast stuffed with Walnut Apple Raisin Stuffing for New Years Eve Dinner. I never invited more than 16 people anyway. Anyone who showed up uninvited were turned away. Especially if they were drunks. I always had a pony keg and some mixers too like Crown Royal and 7-Up and Vodka and Orange Juice.

Good food like Baked Bacon Wrapped Mushroom Caps, Marinated Mushrooms, Salads like Dilled Potato Salad, Sweet and Sour Slaw, Cranberry Relish, Picklelilly. Pickle Tray with pickles of several types, Queen Olives, Baby Onions, Roasted Carrots, Celery Sticks stuffed with Peanut Butter, or Cream Cheese, Cucumber Cream Cheese Sandwiches. And desserts like Baked Apple and Pear Halves, and MY Special Old Fashion Bread Pudding with Apples, Raisins, Pineapple chunks, Mandarin Orange Slices, cinnamon, sugar, eggs vanilla, and bread torn up and lightly toasted, served hot with a creamy Vanilla and Butter Sauce drizzled over top. Those were the good old days.

 Nobody went home that night. Everybody brought sleeping bags and crashed on the floor and sofas. That way they could let go and get tipsy, eat till they fell asleep. And nobody who always got drunk and obnoxious and passed out was ever invited.

 We played music, played poker, told jokes, some played with the race car track in the other room, some passed a pipe around, some played Ship, Captain and Crew in a third room, or UNO. We even had a Simon Electronic Game that some played. It was always loads of fun.

"Those were the days My Friend, we thought they'd never end, we thought they'd last forever and a day!"

 Then the years sneak by and people go their own ways, have kids, stop being fun, start getting old...


I LOVED my old stove. I got it at an auction, at the very end when it started to rain...for a whopping $5.

In reply to Bulldust (msg # 422):

Ahh.  If bacon takes ten minutes to fry, you need to turn the heat up.  Seriously!

But you are missing the point  :)  The first thing you need to cook a pig over an open fire - is a fire pit.  And before you dig a fire pit, you need to choose a location.  I always found that pub gardens were good places for fire pits.  The next thing you need to do is find someone to cook the pig while you drink beer :)

Slow roasting pigs can give you your life back ....

Re: OOC Chat

*grin* We decided not to wait :)  I run an annual weekend dungeon as my wife's birthday party / present.  The guys start arriving on Friday afternoon, and we start as soon as all the characters are sorted out and up-to-speed. Then we play through until Sunday lunchtime - to give people a chance to get back to home  at a sensible time.

It is generally a 1-2 am finish, back at the table for 8am :)  And we apply the standard rule from our youth -  If you ain't at the table, the others can use your character as cannon  fodder ...

It has been successful enough, that I have started running a proper campaign, rather than sets of one off adventures.

And it is coming to a gaming table (very) near me  at the end of October :)

I dare say that is a very poor example of what quantum mechanics implys as it subject to so many outside factors for determine the cats vitality, notably the iron maiden clause.

A better example would be, "everyone look at this box, take a picture. This is a yellow box yes and in your picture yellow aswell yes? Ok bully doesnt understand colors. This box is shaped like a box right, nice sharp edges just like in the photo?""



Now my companion in finland will flip ze switch.

"As you can see the box is now a blue sphere, and in your photo a nice smooth blue sphere yes?


And flip ze switch, "and now its back to a yellow box. Yes?"

@Raven, those are the mechanical sides of being a rogue, but what about the flavor sides. What does Raven do when not fighting or hobbiting dragon.

Minmorc abuses things of all kinds, dregz dread things and makes himself important/needed, oopses tries to keep a low profile and not get abused but frequently screws up anything. Jurz is on a personal mission, plays with and cares for rog.

Moffdust is creepy and slightly mad, Bulldust breaks the fourth wall and revels in the humor and jokes and games others create.

Arlein is a neutral party the slips away and has several clue to what the good races are up to, and keeps secrets while trying to keep Oopses alive.

What elements do you want to bring out of Raven? Bird curiosity? Trap/mechanical contraption lover? Carrion Pteference? Scholar? Lack of smell? Tinkering?

What describes your downtime actions?

Re: OOC Chat

Darkvision isn't related to lowlight vision. Darkvision used to be infravision in earlier versions of D&D, which was based on the ability to see into the infrared spectrum to perceive heat sources. So that's the way I still think of darkvision as functioning and it helps me understand why darkvision has a range associated with it.

Lowlight vision just means the creature doesn't need as much light to see with, but does still need some light such as starlight or moonlight or the shadowy light beyond the radius of illumination from a normal light source.

I thought I understood the rules for light and vision but it turns out they aren't that clear after all. I thought the rule was that characters with normal vision can only see in normal (bright) light and not at all in low light, but that is not correct.

http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Vision_and_Light says:
  • In an area of bright light, all characters can see clearly. A creature can't hide in an area of bright light unless it is invisible or has cover.
  • In an area of shadowy illumination, a character can see dimly. Creatures within this area have concealment relative to that character. A creature in an area of shadowy illumination can make a Hide check to conceal itself.
  • In areas of darkness, creatures without darkvision are effectively blinded.


The idea of being able to see dimly outdoors at night does fit with real life experience. When I go for a walk at night I am not completely blind and can still make out basic outlines at a reasonable distance. OK, so how do we translate that into some workable house rules for D&D?

Low light = shadowy illumination.
Concealment grants a 20% miss chance against attacks.

Any creature in an area of shadowy illumination can make a Hide check to conceal itself. I'm going to interpret that as though they automatically 'take 10' on a hide check because of the low light conditions, even if they are not actively trying to hide. Normal elves are +1 on their hide check, so that's a hide check result of 11 if they are stationary. -20 to hide while attacking or after shooting, so that's a hide check of -9 overall.

In this case the elves are 80ft north and 100ft up from the back gate of the fort, which is a straight line distance of 128ft, round up to 130ft. The adjustment for the spot check to pick them out against the mountain is then +1 per 10ft distance, so that's -9+13=DC4 at the north wall of the fort and increases at +1 per 10ft distance to DC15 at the southern towers of the fort.

OK, so a spot check is required each round to spot a target to shoot at (unless your character has lowlight vision, like the elves do). Then the target still benefits from a 20% miss chance for each attack against it.

I think you'll find that the PC's can see perfectly well all the time and only need torches when they suddenly want to set fire to something.  Monsters dwell in darkness and are immediately blinded by torchlight.

Re: OOC Chat

"Sir Jolimont has got two squads of twenty men, each with a sergeant leading them. One squad is cavalry and the other is infantry. All in heavy armour, so they can take quite a battering. All brave men too, so they won't be running away no matter how tough the fight is. No priests and no mages, though. Jolimont thinks that's cheating and is too proud to listen to common sense, so they rely on brute strength to win the day. The infantry will climb up to the eastern part of your little plateau then creep in while the sun is rising. With the sun in your eyes you'd have a hard time spotting them until they are close enough to charge through that gap in your wall. I'm supposed to be with the infantry, of course. At the same time the cavalry will be charging up the trail on the south side of the fort then sweep around to follow the infantry inside. I've got to admit, I had my doubts but that plan sounds a lot more likely to work with those elvish archers up on the cliff to keep you boyz off the walls."

Re: OOC Chat

That's gotta be somebody raised on the stuff!

I makes a mean meatloaf! 1/3 ground chuck, 1/3 ground pork, and 1/3 ground turkey or chicken. Sometimes I add a little sausage to the ground pork.

Honestly, I came up with this mix because I had lots of ground turkey to deal with, and it's not the best meat for anything tasty. But it's great with the mix! A little V-8, bread soaked with milk, onion, green pepper etc. All the regular stuff. Ketchup for the top. Sriracha Ketchup is Best!

Re: OOC Chat

The trick with black pudding is not to cook it again.  It was cooked as it was made.  Like that, it is really good in nice in fresh crusty rolls with a bit of butter and raw onion rings.  :)

I only tried it because a pub in Wolverhampton was giving them away free after a darts match - and as a poor underfunded student, I was skint (after buying my beer for the evening).  As a wimpy southerner, I was surprised at just how good it was.

He is a charlatan and a bit of a chef. He can heal some people, but he would have to be intimidated into during battle.

Double Cross!!!

Hi all.

Now that the humans are defeated, Bully is considering double crossing the orcs, ie. attack them immediately, without warning, by surprise. Why? Because he doesn't trust Kurjan, it'd be a cracking good battle, he thinks we'd win and take all their loot, we're humanoids so we don't have to be nice. Bully wants to do this.

However as a player i realize that you all may see it differently. Some of your characters are in vulnerable positions next to orcs. You may be uncomfortable with betraying the orcs who are currently our allies. You may be ready for this episode to end and start a new adventure. So rather than Bully just dragging you all into another fight, can you please reply to say peace or war. Bully will happily go with the majority. Thanks!

Jurz guessed right - I thought the trolls were down in the tunnel, but I've just checked the history and they live in two of the towers of this fort.  Well, that does make Bully less confident, and changes his plan to survival mode once the trolls get loose. It really would be a cracking good battle... but now with a possibility of running away or getting killed.

I have not completely given up the idea yet, will let anyone else have a say if they want to.

Arlein's notion of an orcish leadership spill is interesting, but that would be for Minmorc to initiate as it would involve just the two leaders and could end up with all the orcs following Min.  (Bully's idea was to attack all the orcs, so definitely no followers left).

Correct. The trolls came out and fetched the two chain gangs from the mine in the cliff a couple of hours after the battle with the humans, say about 9am on day 13. There is still no sign of Oopses and Arlein.

Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiology (IR), also known as vascular and interventional radiology (VIR) or surgical radiology, is a sub-specialty of radiology providing minimally invasive image-guided diagnosis and treatment of diseases in every organ system.

Radiology

Radiology is a medical specialty that uses imaging to diagnose and treat diseases seen within the body. Radiologists use a variety of imaging techniques such as X-ray radiography, ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), nuclear medicine including positron emission tomography (PET), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to diagnose and/or treat diseases.

Actually, he's a cardiac interventionalist. He uses micro surgical tools in a catheter inside the heart to do surgery.

Interventional cardiology is a branch of cardiology that deals specifically with the catheter based treatment of structural heart diseases.

An interventional cardiologist is a cardiologist with one to two years of additional education and training in diagnosing and treating cardiovascular disease as well as congenital (present at birth) and structural heart conditions through catheter-based procedures, such as angioplasty and stenting.

This doctor will try to repair a leaking valve in the heart without open heart surgery. Patients heal much more quickly than with open heart surgery, as they don't have to crack open the rib cage, etc.

Basically you are all exploring an Aztec or Inca or Mayan-type temple on top of a step pyramid in the jungle. You have killed the five large apes that were there, then you all figured out how to open ten-foot wide trapdoor in the floor by pouring a few pints of blood (or any liquid) on the altar in the temple. The trapdoor opened to reveal a 60-foot deep shaft down into the pyramid.

When the trap doors were open the group jammed them open by wedging a couple of ape corpses under the altar. Then a ten-foot tall emaciated giant with glowing red eyes appeared on top of the altar and started demanding sacrifices be thrown in the pit. Bully tossed a dead ape in as a sacrifice. Oopses actually fell in too but has managed to save himself with a Web spell.

The giant (or demon?) seems pleased with the sacrifices but still tried to attack Raven as well. Lucky for you I rolled a natural one on his attack!

Have fun! Hopefully there is something in this adventure for everyone to get their teeth into. :o)

My friend came through the surgery with ease, and now he's home. Restricted to lifting only 5 pounds for now, but is allowed to go back to work in a couple weeks. YAY!

But I came down with a horrible cold. Getting better though. Be back in a couple days.

My friend will heal slowly, but we all hope he gets better as time goes by, and that maybe his heart will shrink some too since it's not having to work so hard.

My cold lingered though. Grrr.

But I'm back now.

Everybody ready for next week? A week left, more or less.

Re: OOC Chat

Actually, it was Riza that was swallowed and spit out again by the large, emaciated devil (g1). I had forgotten to put Riza back on the map, so I have now fixed that and updated the main game map to make that clearer.

Raven is flanking a slug-like lemure (s1) which has allowed Dregz to sneak attack it. Dregz's attack does enough damage this round to kill that lemure.

So Raven has two choices of enemies to attack. She can either tumble in to attack the big devil (g1) which will let her flank it with Bulldust. Or she can attack the other lemure (s2) that Jurz is fighting.

Re: OOC Chat

The tumble skill roll was for last round. If you want to tumble through another enemy's threat range this round you need to make another DC15 tumble skill check this round.

The sneak attack is just part of your normal attack roll if you are in the right position - basically if you can surprise that enemy or if you and someone else are on opposite sides of that enemy to flank it. If your attack hits then you do the extra sneak attack damage as well.

I think we take 20 on spell craft and kinda get adjusted to node magic, and gain the bonus spell node door for the day, then cast it and kinda assume it will link us to the nearest node even though we have never been there.

So there should be a magical rock thingy nearby or it could just be the tunnel floor.

Did not realise that "under the sea" was such a long song!

The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?

Under the sea, under the sea
Darling it's better down where it's wetter
Take it from me
Up on the shore they work all day
Out in the sun they slave away
While we're devoting full time to floating
Under the sea, ha ha...

Down here all the fish is happy
And soft through the waves they roll
The fish on the land ain't happy
They sad 'cause they in the bowl!
But fish in the bowl is lucky
They in for a worser fate
One day when the boss get hungry
Guess who goin' be on the plate?

Wo-no, under the sea
Under the sea
Nobody beat us, fry us and eat us
In frickazee
We what the land folks loves to cook
Under the sea we off the hook
We've got no troubles, life is the bubbles
Under the sea (under the sea)
Under the sea (under the sea)
Since life is sweet here, we got the beat here
Naturally (naturally-ee-ee-ee)
Even the sturgeon and the ray
They get the urge and start to play
We've got the spirit, you've got to hear it
Under the sea

The newt play the flute
The carp play the harp
The plaice play the bass and they soundin' sharp
The bass play the brass
The chub play the tub
The fluke is the duke of soul (yeah)
The ray, he can play the Ling's on the strings
The trout rockin out
The blackfish she sings
The Stout and the Sprat
They know where it's at
They know that blowfish blow!

Yeah, under the sea
Under the sea
When the sardine begin to beguine
It's music to me (music is to me)
What do they got, a lot of sand?
We've got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here know how to jam here
Under the sea
Each little slug here cutting a rug here
Under the sea
Each little snail know how to wail here
That's why it's hotter under the water
Yeah, we in luck here down in the muck here
Under the sea

Re: OOC Chat

OOC: After the step pyramid in the Amedio Jungle the treasure was shared out with 3,000gp worth of golden jewellery distributed to each of Bulldust, Moffdust, Minmorc, Dregz, Jurz, Raven, Oopses and Riza.

 Back at the cockroach tunnels Moffa found 52 gold coins from the City of Pedestal which were subsequently shared out among everyone (7gp each). Bully used his 7gp to buy everyone their breakfast of lizard-on-a-stick.

The contents of this chest are a small pile of gold and platinum coins (527gp and 28pp) all from the city of Pedestal, a scroll, a potion, a wand and a tiny velvet purse holding the Pearl of Undercommon.

Seeing as Moffa is busy with the magic items, Jurz divided the coins and stones out, so that everyone gets a share of 87 gold pieces and 4 platinum pieces.  Then he moves over to help Moffa inspect the other items.

Some good news …

After the encounter with the kuo-toa guards at the South Gate you have all now reached a total of 22,000 experience points and everyone can level up to level 7 (or ECL 7 for those with monster race level adjustments).

Re: OOC Chat

I have a question for you all to think about. Everyone is now on approximately 33,900 experience points (Level 8 or ECL 8) and only need to reach 36,000 XP to level up again.

Would you be interested in a short side quest to top up your XP and level up again before teleporting to the next segment of the Black Mace?

Secondly, is there anything in particular you would like to see in the adventures ahead - a particular magic item you would love to get your hands on, or a particular encounter? Any suggestions on that are always welcome in the OOC thread: What I'd really like to see is ...

One of the sites I worked on had a cake act.

Hi Team,

Well, a few days turned into a few weeks and somehow time kept slipping away and I just never seemed to find the time, energy and motivation to draw up the next map and start the next phase of this adventure. You have my apologies for that. I really did intend to get this game moving again much quicker than this. But at last I have gotten my act together and we are back on the road again.

I hope we will all enjoy the ride.  :o)

Re: OOC Chat

pfft mazes are easy, just keep left hand on left wall or right hand on right wall and you will eventually get out. Doesn't work on Harry potter mazes but they aren't mazes, they're magic and while magic is cool it is also cheating.

Read the left or right hand rule with mazes and thought it was cool. As Hermione pointed out things like that aren't magic, they're logic, which is often less flashy, but just as cool.

Re: OOC Chat

Rather than writing this in Moffglish, here's what Moffdust can do to help with the dragon slaying plan.

Can the black stick teleport giants even if they only have one foot in the 10' circle? That'd be the easiest option for transporting a hit squad. I'm thinking possibly yes because Rocky and Wolfie have been teleported like that.

Moffdust can Dimension Door one giant at a time, say 2-3 times, from valley floor to ledge or into dragon cave. Fly down in between (like Dregz levitate down) takes a while so dey has ter be quiets while dey waits fer dere friendses. Can someone Silence them?

The dragon could Plane Shift to escape with the next piece of Dregz' stick (yes, peeked at MM2). Moffdust can cast Dimension Anchor to prevent that, but if this is young adult dragon then SR makes it 50/50 chance of success, less for older dragons. Need to figure out her age to rate that plan.

Moffdust can cast short range teleport spells to get us out if it goes bad.

She can't protect anyone from a searing light breath weapon or blindness.

Could the black stick teleport us to another plane if the dragon escaped there?

Re: OOC Chat

And to avoid translating into Dregzovakian ...  :P

Dregz has had some insights into the workings of the Magic Stick, but we're getting a bit beyond any degree of certainty now.  He knows it will teleport anyone within the 5' radius to (technically towards) the next segment ... and while we don't know fer shure if that means just a foot in will suffice, given the numbers of our tribe, the familiars and the fact that sometimes some of us have Enlarge spells on them, I suspect the "foot in the circle" would be right.

We can keep jumping after the dragon, but given the description for the Teleport spell, Moffa would know even if Dregz doesn't, that interplanar travel isn't likely possible (the Magic Stick doesn't have to follow the spell description, but I'd guess probably does ...)

Though equally the piece of the Magic Stick stuck in the dragon might prevent it from plane shifting - it might not want to be out of reach of the rest ??

Dregz can cast Silence once, but can memorise multiple if we need (and if we take the time to rest/pray).

Dreg'z Goggles make him immune to blindness, and doesn't have Remove Blindness, but could memorise one or two if needed.  Don't know how we'd protect from Searing Light (I don't think Darkness spells would do it as it's Divine light).

Re: OOC Chat

And in the interests of sharing ...  Even though Jurz still wants to make sure we have the stick in our possession BEFORE we attack the dragon.

Jurz could have Rock to Mud AND Mmud to Rock - although there are saving throws.

Jurz can also Call Lightning - which is an AoE spell and avoids any SR :)

Even more importantly.  Jurz can bring people back from the dead - although he can't promise that they will have good goblin shapes.  They might even come back as Humans.

Just as important from a personal perspective, Jurz can hide quite well, and is very confident of making it back south without the stick.

Re: OOC Chat

Good point Jurz, we have to get the stick-thing before we attack the dragon, then it doesn't matter if she escapes.  We can't exactly ask the giants to wait quietly on the ledge while we negotiate with the dragon ... so we have to settle with the dragon first, then return to the dragon after we've made a deal with the giants.

How about this ... Return to the dragon now, give her the head and empty our pockets to scrounge up 10,000gp worth of stuff.  We can also take up the dead giant's body and trick her into frying it with her breath, that will help us convince the giants.  When we return later with the giants we recover our stuff and split the dragon hoard with the giants, after killing or driving off the dragon, yawn, easy bit.  The giants remain possible allies for future battles with Watchers and maybe even sign up for a Nuffleball team...

Even simpler plan...let's go to the deeper jewel cave that Soo de Invisible Soo described, deal with the water that rises up and get enough gems from the walls to pay off the dragon, then leave. We don't have to fight anyone other than a water monster. We could be done today.

Re: OOC Chat

Brilliant !  And the dragon just said she wanted 10000 gold coins or equivalent in treasure - she didn't say we HAD to steal them from the giants, just suggested that as the most likely source.   Not that we mind lying, but we can be righteously indignant if she objects.  ;P

Now ... what do we need to survive plan C or D or whatever it is we're up to ?  Water breathing ?

This morning I took Moffa's mum's dog for a walk.  Two big dogs ran out, their owners yelling after them.  They barked and sniffed but did not bite.  Art imitates life!  To that end I suppose I was the blob and a small dog on a leash my pseudopod.

Many years ago, we saw our Scottish Terrier (Imaginatively names Scottie) run underneath a much larger dog (A boxer) bite its testicles and try to hang on.

I was a child at the time.  Now, the thought of that makes my eyes water.

Re: OOC Chat

Bully is no longer 'on the dragons side' since she insulted him (a bit).  At this stage he's up for any of the previous options, such as attacking the dragon, allying with the dragon to attack the giants (and take their treasure), allying with the giants to attack the dragon (and sharing her treasure), leaving to see where the magic stick takes them next.

Moffa said the dragon can just disappear [OOC Chat, msg #779].  So if we try to kill her she'll just go.  Maybe that's easier than tricking her, but she'll still come back for us later.  At least we now have the pearl, so its OK if she disappears (Jurz's point).

The magic stick never takes us anywhere underground, only ever on the surface, above or below the next piece.  So we can't teleport back into the cave, but possibly can teleport back to this ledge if Dregz leaves the Pearl in the cave somewhere.

We don't yet know where the magic stick will take us next, so using that for an escape route could be dangerous.  Dregz won't know where it will go next until he attaches the Pearl.  So we have to accept this risk if we use the Magic Stick to escape from the dragon.

Re: OOC Chat

Jurz doesn't have a strong opinion either way.  That said, he isn't really keen on fighting either the Dragon or the giants -  while treasure is always a nice thing, it isn't a major motivator for the Goblin Druid.  Not does he have any particular like, or dislike, for either the dragon or the giants.  He will, however, go with the tribe's decision.

The 'stick' has, so far, been bringing us to where the next part  can be found.  If the 'stick' is now complete, will it actually take us anywhere, if Dregz uses it?  Or will we be stuck here, and have to get home under our own steam?

Re: OOC Chat

The dragon and the giants are both powerful foes, if the group are not committed he won't push fighting them. He believes that when the rod is assembled it will either lead to another piece or give proper teleportation powers to Dregz so he will now encourage Dregz to attach the pearl piece.

Re: OOC Chat

I've been seeing some comments around the place about "one D&D". From a couple of videos on youtube it looks like the wizards are developing sixth edition to be released in 2024. It seems that there is currently some rules which have been released so that the D&D community can provide feedback during development. This video appears to provide good insight into what they're planning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=siZGAWdBw4s

5th edition was rumoured to be the version that united them all (I recall seeing claims that 1st Ed and 5th Ed could merrily and seamlessly join the same party and be roughly comparable) - maybe that lofty goal slipped an edition.  ;>

Re: OOC Chat

I can only vaguely remember 1st and 2nd edition, I'd have to research how THACO worked, to me 3 and 3.5 are amazing, pathfinder is copy and paste, 4th was awful and 5th has nearly gotten back to how good 3rd is. 6th just looks like pathfinder for 5th.

I played a few games in 4th and 5th edition but not enough to master the new rules. I suspect 6th will be the same as far as I am concerned, unless others I play with fall in love with it and we decide to switch .

You know what they say about old dogs and new tricks. ;o)

Re: OOC Chat

:). Every D20 based game is a cut and paste of the publicly available Open Licence rules.  Personally, I always preferred the PF Skill structure, although they took a few anomalies from 3e.

I worked out, quite a few years ago, that a new version of D&D is released, when they have rehashed all the old material in a different format.

Personally, I really dislike the published game settings for D&D, Apart from Al Quadim they all seem fairly bland and superficial.

I get excited about campaign settings when I read a novel or see a show set there but it's really hard to a) find other players that are b) fans of same things. Or when you play Forgotten realms everyone wants to be Drizzt Do Urden and my Bruenor Battlehammer just can't keep up :D

Re: OOC Chat

I think there's two parts to that problem - 1) there's usually only minor variations in character generation between most settings, so the only real role setting plays is in a character's background ... and 2) most people have a character idea in mind that is mostly independent of the setting anyway.  Personally I like it that way - treating the setting as being there to provide the history and geography, but not really affecting the character I want to play.

Of the settings I have played, I've only found Dark Sun to have the necessary variation/flavour to sustain unique characters ... but I don't really like the Dark Sun setting.

Of course, outside the D&D realms, I think Paranoia is a standout for a setting that shapes characters ... but that system has (or I should say had, as I think they did try to fix it in later versions) one big flaw in that if it's played properly nobody survives the mission briefing, let alone the mission, so you're constantly rolling up new characters every time you play !

Re: OOC Chat

What I've noticed in different groups is that if everyone is interested in the same fantasy setting that very much flavours and unites the group. For example I played with one group who were all fans of the Lord of the Rings so the elves and Dwarves were very much Tolkiens elves and Dwarves. There was a group I played with where the DM shared a comic series he'd collected about Pathfinder Goblins before we started playing the Pathfinder Goblin Pirates game so we were all on the same page. I'd love to play in a group one day where everyone reads Feist, Tolkien, Hickman and Weis, Martin, Mercer, Flanagan, Pierce, Rowling and they play a campaign in one of their worlds, I love them all.
