Running out of space in old thread.

In reply to GM (msg # 1):

First!

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 2):

Jon- do you want me to write an "Ulgle lands and tells Brennan what's going on" post? I had been holding off assuming you had something particular in mind that would alter my return..

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 3):

Go ahead.  Nothing stops you.

In reply to GM (msg # 4):

You know... I though Ulgle was auotocorrect fucking with you the whole time?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 5):

Ulgle. Ulbear. ..Ultrout?

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 6):

Duck Billed Ulopus? or would that be an Uldaf Billed Platypus?

Ulowary?

Uladon?  Can Uldaf take the shape of extict animals?  I want to see a wooly Ulmmoth roaming the plains.

you know that if he could we would be dealing with Ulasaurus Rex and not an Ulmmoth

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 8):

maybe he just hasn't thought of it yet.  I have a highly trained mind for this kind of thing

:P

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 9):

I just had the best idea ever... but I wish I was a bit more combat specced to do so.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 10):

Mind if we back up to hour walk to the camp for a minute?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 11):

What is the bonus if anything to ambush someone?  If Titus was just a bit better in stealth and a bit better in combat it would be a formidable team with Brennan.  Think a rogue and hunter in WoW working in tandem to mark opponents and take them down quickly.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 12):

The ambush bonus depends.

You need to make loads of opposed rolls to sneak up on somebody.

Assuming you do, what effect that has is a matter of scenario.

If, for example, you move into bow-range unseen and shoot at someone who doesn't know he's being shot at, I think it just adds a die.  You'd also be able to take aim actions with impunity.

If, for example, you sneak up behind someone with a knife, you might get a simple die bonus, or just an auto-hit.  If, for example, you sneak up on somebody who is sleeping, I might just let you auto-kill, depending on who and how you sneak up.

Helpless people in this system are pretty helpless.

In reply to GM (msg # 13):

Titus posted after I edited my post, so I deleted the edits and posted them as a new response. IN case anyone wonders where words they might have saw went.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 14):

Let me confer with the GM Regarding my ability...

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 15):

Sorry for the slowness.  My job just got "interesting" today.

Which as you all probably know, is management-speak for shit is hitting the fan.

In reply to GM (msg # 16):

How many are getting the axe?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 17):

Can I get within bowshot of Captain McGlow without getting into "make a stealth roll" range?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 18):

I'll say yes, but barely.  It will have modifiers for range, dark, terrain, swallows, etc.


... then again, Enrei's "stealthiness" may make it moot...

In reply to GM (msg # 19):

What is the range penalty for throwing a knife?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 20):

No penalty.  You are at extreme longbow range.  There is not even the slightest possibility of hitting with a thrown knife.

I mean, if you had Body 8+ or something...

In reply to GM (msg # 21):

Plant disaster. I'm offline all day.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 22):

Thats never good.

Matt, what company do you work for again?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 23):

Skynet.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 24):

Skynet LLC.


That way they have individual protection from lawsuits...

please tell me one of those numbers are wrong and Enrei isn't somehow the worst runner ever.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 26):

Fixed.  Titus and Brennan are 3 away.

In reply to GM (msg # 27):

Do I need to roll if I want to stay in stealth mode?  Or do I just anounce I'm moving quietly?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 28):

Posting an action now, and then unlikely to be available again today. Day 4 of plant wide disaster..

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 28):

Yes, you will need another stealth check.

Keep in mind, if you move slowly, quietly and deliberately, it will take more than 3 rounds to get to the fight.

In reply to GM (msg # 30):

Stealth and illusions would be multi action?

In reply to GM (msg # 30):

Why is no one listening to the smart guy?

We are all going to die. I promise that circle is more dangerous than all of the men put together.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 31):

@ Titus, yes.  Alternatively, you could make the assumption that a rampaging bear and an arrow are very distracting and they might not notice you walking casually.

Your choice.

@ Brennan, hush.  If you ruin the circle how will I have fun killing you?

In reply to GM (msg # 33):

Because my idea is that if they manage to stop you guys charging and screaming then they won't notice the stealthy rogue who comes up from behind and casually swipes a foot across the circle.  If he runs he will get there with you, if he does not then he gets there a bit later with a better chance of swiping out the circle.

Titus is not listening to you because he is the smartest member of the part :P

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 34):

Remember that when you stick out your foot and have it bitten off because you got there a round too slow :P

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 35):

that means that you failed in your task.  You should have tried harder.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 36):

Bah.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 37):

Why are you so bad at running?!

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 38):

No excuse.

In reply to GM (msg # 39):

Again I say, bah.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 40):

This thread is getting highly silly.

There will be no more silliness!

In reply to GM (msg # 41):

Silliness complete.

Very serious from this point on...

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 42):

I find the credit crisis in Greece to be very concerning for contagion spreading to the United States.  Their possible exit of the union due to their rejection of austerity measures could be the unraveling of the Euro-zone as a whole.

Enrei your thoughts?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 43):

GM adjusting health on sheets or is it me? Just trying to see how messed up Ulbear is

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 44):

If you want me to track damage I can, otherwise it's up to you.

In reply to GM (msg # 45):

I think GM should track... I'm too stupid or short attention span...

Or ever more frequently both...

To be trusted with such responsibility :).

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 46):

As you wish.

I'll add the damage.

I've been tracking my own damage on past combats, I'm willing to keep doing that unless you'd prefer an all or nothing.

just putting that out there to avoid double dipping damage

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 48):

that was my concern too, in addition to not at all understanding our healing system :p

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 49):

My understanding is that there ISN'T a healing system, and that we should be trying to avoid combat because a character seems to be able to survive about three punches a month.

Which might be realistic, but does not lend itself well to heroics!

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 50):

this is mostly accurate, though punches are far easier to survive than anything at all sharp.

Unless I'm punching you, those you got spot on.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 51):

All correct.  There IS a healing system, it's just very, very slow.  Also, yes, there is a massive difference between killing and shock damage.

I'd never advocate avoiding combat, just avoid getting hit.  :)

In reply to GM (msg # 52):

As another consideration:  In bear form you have a total of 8d in brawl, and as you've seen you've been rolling multiple sets.  It would be worth considering a multi-action.  You'd only drop to 7d and you could get more use out of those extra sets.

In reply to GM (msg # 53):

Try some attack/defend... couldn't hurt.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 54):

... or attack/attack

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 55):

Attack/Defend is harder if your "block" or "dodge" pool doesn't match your brawl pool.

That's the whole point of Martial Arts after all...

@Beardaf, I updated your sheet with damage.

In reply to GM (msg # 56):

Is there a way to drop successful sets in increase width of a set, or no?

It's frustrating rolling 8 die and getting 3 or 4, 2 wide sets. I know I can use them to mess with roll height, but when I'm already sitting on a 2x10, what's the point?

I guess this is a bit of powergaming, but me the player here assumes it's better to swing another 2x10 at the guy who I almost decpitated than a 3x1 at his right leg. Do i get to choose which set I use?

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 57):

actually the 3x1 may be preferrable as it could interrupt his set.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 58):

Did rolling higher on running matter, or just having a match at all? is 3x2 better than 2x10? Curious about the way that worked.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 59):

@ Uldaf:  You have some options.

A.  You can "sack" the extra sets to adjust the hit location if you want.
B.  You can hold extra sets in case your main set is interrupted.
C. You can bet that with 8d you'll likely get more than one set, and take a multi-attack.  You reduced your chance of getting the two sets, but you also reduce the chance of having "wasted" sets.
D. As Titus said, you can choose the wider

And yes, you get to choose which set.  However, the hit location is always the first die you rolled, so which set you choose won't affect that.  Which set you choose WILL determine how much you can adjust your hit location, however.

In this case, your first die was a 10, so you get a headshot no matter which set you choose.

@ Brennan: Yes, it mattered.  In this case, the height is the "quality" or how well you ran.  Conserving energy, dodging obstacles and making a better route allowed you to catch up.

can I see the circle from where I'm fighting the axe guys?  is the salt and tar just on the circle, or are they in any kind of container?  bowls or something?

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 61):

You can't see the circle itself, but you can see the people and the glow.

In reply to GM (msg # 62):

@ Brennan are you doing something or just screaming impotently?

Also you do realize that Enrei responds best to direct commands.
This message was last edited by the player at 15:29, Wed 08 July 2015.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 63):

It turns out that the name of the wind is feeling fickle today. So screaming it is!

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 63):

he gave a direct command, and Enrei heard it.  Enrei has priorities too you know, you're not the boss of him.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 65):

Enrei has priorities like a dog has priorities.  You just have to rearrange them some times.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 66):

Just stamp the damn thing out, stop trying to be fancy.  Who do you think you are?!  ME?!

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 67):

You do need to hit his head from a grapple.  Otherwise you are gonna throttle the shit out of his left arm.

The next turns should be... interesting.  I'm intrigued to see how it plays out.

why do you question the grappling rules, why can't we just assume they work?  Jon doesn't want to remember them either, I gotta do all the work for my character and then you people question me, I am outraged.

also, RAW aside, I have all confidence in Enrei's ability to choke someone in an arm lock, the welfare of said arm be damned.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 69):

Can we just stop and appreciate that Enrei counted to 2?

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 70):

Hey, Enrei can count to thirty.  And he can do it at the least convenient moment for the party.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 71):

Of that, I have no doubt :)

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 72):

I still lke the idea of Enrei latched on to someones wrist wondering why they aren't going to sleep.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 73):

see i was just picturing it as an arm lock that involved him improbably wrapping the man's own arm around his neck.  If Enrei were more of a bully there may have been chants of "Stop headlocking yourself"

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 74):

I think you chould get Echo for doing that.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 75):

Depends on the creed(s) thrust upon him, I suppose. I would not gain echo from that.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 76):

Nor would I... but I can make a pretty good guess at what his creed is based on in game behavior.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 77):

Actually, using an opponent's arm to assist in leverage for choking out is a very valid thing...

But that aside.  Hilarious!

In reply to GM (msg # 78):

I am so impressed and amazed by everyone's different and unique approach at the echo thing. Some folks spend it like water, some folks don't spend it at all, and I can't even tell for everyone.

Do the auras get stronger/weaker based on your current echo? You max echo? Irrelevant?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 79):

I probably wouldn't have spent so much, but one of my powers is involuntary and that fight with the wolves turned me into an echo sieve.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 80):

Yeah, I suspected that might have been the case. Fortunately, sustaining my anti-bird shield did not sap me nearly as badly as all that. But then again, I cannot use the wind to put blood back into my shredded body, either. Ah well :P

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 81):

well i've used my healing power three times and only gotten any better from it once, so i think I was a little more fast and loose with the digs than I should have been.  Depending on what Jon does to me once I'm depowered, Enrei might have a heart-to-heart with Uldaf about how to prevent infection in dog bites.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 82):

We're in the middle ages, right? I hear urine is a powerful antiseptic...

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 83):

it is going to be a very long discussion.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 84):

actually... Urine is sterile.

Not to say that it is clean, but it is a source of a sterile liquid... I guess...

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 85):

Yeah, I dunno.

I've queued you up, Titus. Or maybe thrown a wrench in your plan. But I trust you can roll with it...

fuck it, whole hog.  out of echo.  last regen roll actually got me something too. fuck you arrow!

Enrei is back to being a combat monster instead if a combat monster who doesn't have to care about anything.

edit: here's something I probably should have asked sooner, can Enrei still see the other auras?

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 87):

Yes.

Odd isn't it?

In reply to GM (msg # 88):

@Brennan

You queued me up perfectly.  That was exactly what I was going for.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 89):

Woot!

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 90):

Before moving forward, Uldaf are you staying a menacing bear?  Turning back into a menacing man?  Wandering off?

In reply to GM (msg # 91):

What would you roll to sense motive/lies?  Might be good if Uldaf is the human lie detector.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 92):

It's Empathy + Resist to oppose bluff.

For someone with, say, superhuman senses, you could use Empathy + Sight or something like that to notice small subconscious signals.

In reply to GM (msg # 93):

Sorry, work a-sploded today.  Hoping to get back to posting... soonish.

In reply to GM (msg # 94):

If anyone recently sent me a private message could you please resend it?  RPOL keeps showing that I Have a private message waiting but nothing is showing on the timeline.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 95):

So... what DO we want to do with them? Despite trying to kill us, they're being rather cooperative.
This message was last edited by the player at 14:25, Wed 15 July 2015.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 96):

I'm not sure if we want to actually go through this, because it will take 4 weeks of RPOL time to do properly, but what Brennan wants to do is ask each of the men the same questions while they are alone.

Common answers will be noted. Differing accounts will also be noted. And it will be made clear in each individual meeting that the others totally ratted on the man currently being questioned. Y'know, basic police interrogation for multiple suspects.

The archer seems to be the low-hanging fruit for snitching, incidentally.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 97):

I'm inclined to agree on all fronts.  Jon seems to have a knack for making prisoners compliant enough to make you feel bad for killing them but having them wait just long enough to stick a knife in your ribs.

See Francis, Rags, and wasn't there another gnome that tried to kill us earlier?

I'm inclined to split them up the demonspeaker is most knowledgeable so I would let Brennan talk to him, and I'll talk to the archer.

how is the best way to do this over RPOL without a tedious month long interrogation scene?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 98):

Also I'm extremely disappointed at their lack of reaction to the greek chorus that is apparently following us around.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 98):

To be fair, the SECOND time Francis turned on you... you should have seen it coming.

As for Rags... well...

If you think you can coordinate in-character, you can just choose the questions you'll ask, who will ask them and I can post the responses from each.  Then you can assume you share the information afterwards.

That is, unless any of you have secret questions.

I would be up for a month-long interrogation session on the condition that Enrei gets to interrogate one of them, with Uldaf still in bear form providing "assistance."

I'm sure Titus and Brennan could provide him written instructions on what to do.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 101):

Hey guys,

In the middle of a shit storm here today.  I'll try to post but make no guarantees.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 102):

I deliberately didn't roll intimidate because I wanted to be clear that Uldaf is making statements of fact in his mind. He is not bluffing, and he will disembowel these men.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 103):

Jon can we get a description of the camp and what is available to us in terms of tents etc...

I don't think there are any

There you have it.

The camp is in a small depression between two hills.  On one hill is a copse of trees providing very good cover for bears.  On the other hill is a potentially inactive and no-longer-glowing circle of runes.

There is a campfire built with a crude ring of rocks around some burning logs.  There are piles of equipment and a stump to which horses are tied (2 left).  That's about it.

In reply to GM (msg # 106):

I really need to reel this in and focus us.  I'll see what happens at lunch...

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 107):

Don't worry.  Looks like Uldaf fixed it.

In reply to GM (msg # 108):

but that's my job!

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 109):

I'm scared to look at the in-game chat now.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 110):

Oh God.

[19 blank lines suppressed]

This is why we can't have nice things.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 111):

Sigh.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 112):

Messy messy, nice save though!

In reply to GM (msg # 113):

@TITUS In Game

HE LOOKS LIKE ONE!

HE HAS GOT A WART!

MAY WE BURN HIM?!

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 114):

But does he weigh the same as a duck?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 115):

You'd be surprised at the weight of demonic ducks...

In reply to GM (msg # 116):

I wager I would be!

If there are actual conversations about trials and tribulations going on, btw, Brennan would love to listen in on the big man's perspectives.

If it's just a one-off joke... well, that's fine then :)

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 117):

carrying all the boxes started as a one-off jok that Titus insisted on turning into storytime, so it kinda depends on how interested in his opinions you are.

his opinions may be a series of more one-off jokes and non-sequitors, as fair warning.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 118):

The horse, she is beaten.

Are we taking them hostage? Going back to town? Heading north still?

Minimally, Olaf is going to try and kill the Demonspeaker. What becomes of the rest of them is between you guys and god.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 119):

Not sure it's a good idea to kill the demonspeaker. He might know more about whatever happened to us. I don't really want to show him the journal but I wouldn't mind talking to him about the differences between what he drew on the ground here and what was drawn on the ground back in that other village where we got our powers. We know there was a large amber crystal involved last time, and not this time, so it can't be the same ritual, but still. I feel like that advances the plot.

In terms of where to go from here, I don't think this changes anything. We mop up, return to the mill to collect our other allies, rendezvous with Flynn, "renegotiate" our contracts, then head to that shattered mountain village to learn more about our powers.

At least, that's what makes sense to me.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 120):

Primary questions for Titus

1.  Where is there more money

2.  Where are there more people to adore him

3.  Where are there more women

4.  Where can I go to avoid people trying to kill me

Often 1-3 go together, but 4 is the opposite of 1-3.

In reply to GM (msg # 122):

You have a knack for making campaigns that completely nullify my characters...

My rich well connected fae noble on a gnomish submarine...

Now my slick talking city boy out in the woods...

I have noticed a significant derth of women in these woods as well as drinking gambling and adulation, but no shortage in the number of people who want to kill me.

Enrei's plan is still to rendezvous with Flynn.  His interest in going north will probably depend on how exactly the renegotiations go.  I got the impression that the company was headed north afterward anyway, though probably not exactly toward our ruins.

he's also not for killing the demonspeaker on principle, but that has proven an ineffective deterrent for Uldaf at least once.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 124):

Uldaf is made of id.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 125):

so wait does that make the bear the ego?  that sounds terrible

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 126):

I'd say you have a knack for creating characters that are nullified by my campaigns.  :P

I mean, you were warned about the submarine thing...

If it's drinking and gambling you want, by all means head for the bandit camp.

If it's women you want, head back to the mill.

Cities have loads of both as well, but also people who want to kill you.

Actually... that just might apply everywhere.

Brennan, Enrei tied a rope in the demonspeaker's mouth while he was being excited about meeting another foreigner, do we think he's loud enough to need the rare double-gag?

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 128):

You can't be too careful... :P

To be fair I thought we would be making port for a significant portion of the storyline and not some desert island in the middle of nowhere... I kind of wish Francis got him the first time... or the second time... or the third time...

Bandits camp has that creepy dude with the teeth like corn

The mill is... also super creepy plus I think the lord of it may want to kill me

I need to get to a city... which I don't have much faith I am capable of.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 130):

Your scheduled rondesvous with Flynn is in a largish town.

In reply to GM (msg # 131):

Jon, I'll yield to you on rolling for heals, though I'll write it up in character.

Uldaf will perform first aid on the 2 conscious captives; he will not triage the demonspeaker, and we will perform NO Medicine checks on them.

Obv I'll take care of the party first.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 132):

I'm fine handling the rolls, the question is:  are you performing triage or surgery and on whom?  Triage takes but a matter of moments, surgery takes hours.

Your arm is easily the worst injury (not counting head trauma to the demonspeaker, which is beyond basic medicine).  You're bleeding heavily and there is likely muscle damage.

There is also an arrow in the demonspeaker's shoulder.

The Nor has a broken arm.

There is an arrow wound in Enrei's shoulder.

In reply to GM (msg # 133):

I, too, am capable of first aid, but I was under the impression the remaining wounds required more than that.

more of an arrow scar after that last regen roll.  I'm down to lingerinng wolf bites again.

edit: out of curiosity could first aid be used to set the broken arm, not effectively removing killing damage but preventing/minimizing complications as part of natural healing, or would that require medicine too?
This message was last edited by the player at 13:38, Thu 23 July 2015.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 135):

Since I'm the most damaged, I guess I'm doing surgery on myself, first aid on Enrei, and letting Brennan tend to the rest, though I will make to stop him if he tries to tend to the demonspeaker.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 136):

First Aid can deal with Shock damage (new shock damage) and "stabalize" wounds (i.e. prevent bleeding out, make splints to allow broken bones to heal, etc.)

Medicine/sugery is needed to recover killing.

In reply to GM (msg # 137):

Super Short staffed today in 2 of my departments.  I likely won't be on.

We are running with 5 of 13 people.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 138):

Would I need to roll some kind of survival check to get back to the mill?  Or could I just assume I walk back and everything is fine?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 139):

You can walk back alone, though it's likely you'll trip and hurt yourself in the dark or be eaten by a grue.

Nah, you can just wander back.  There are lights and a big windmill as landmarks.

I've got nothing that will happen in the bandit camp pending your decisions.  There are two mostly compliant captives, one unconscious and therefore totally complaint captive, 2 horses and some gear.

In reply to GM (msg # 140):

I'm back. What a 3 weeks guys.

We had:

A sprinkler head burst in my sterile processing area, breaking my autoclave.

2 WFI Contaminations

Black Particles in Nitrogen/Compressed Air System

Holy hell it's been rough at the plant, but things, at least for the moment (he says knocking on wood) seem to be stabilizing. Catching up in game.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 141):

Holy shit that sounds terrible!

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 142):

...and as usual Uldaf totally misreads Titus.

Its not he lacks the courage to do what needs to be done, he just wants you to know that he knows what you did.  He also doesn't give a shit if you do it again.  There was some information he wants out of him but other than that... meh.  If he cared he would push much harder.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 143):

Right now Titus has a total lack of motivation... I'm not quite sure how to write him; hence I have sent him to bed.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 143):

As usual Titus misreads Uldaf.

The line is directed at Brennan, who is left behind with him at the camp.

Titus has left Uldaf to his own devices :p

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 145):

As usual...

Titus totally misreads Uldaf, who completely understands Titus' implied 'I don't give a fuck.'

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 146):

Not wanting to kill a helpless dude with knowledge that might prove useful in warding ourselves against this crap in the future is not weakness :)

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 147):

Meh...

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 148):

Just as an entire nonsequiter... have any of you seen the anime Attack on Titan?  It is pretty severely fucked up... I have that same PTSD feel after watching parts of Evangelion.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 149):

Yeah, I watched season 1 in like two weeks.

It is oddly alluring in concept... and horribly boring for 75% of each episode.

In reply to GM (msg # 150):

Yeah that sounds about right.  I don't know if I like it more because the Titans look so ordinary and dopey.  Also they do the lazy anime trick of panning a still shot while talking over it that drives me crazy.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 151):

Yeah, it does loads of money-saving stuff.  Re-using shots, still pans, flashbacks, freeze-frame, talking over black, talking over white, talking over recycled footage... etc.

In reply to GM (msg # 152):

I may have misunderstood where people are. Did Titus take the Archer and the Nor with him?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 153):

no he walked off on his own and told us to let them go.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 154):

Meh. Really the only question I have is whether or not to steal all but one of the archer's arrows.

GM: How many arrows does he HAVE?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 155):

As I understand it:

Titus wandered off on his own.

You have decided to steal one horse, load the unconscious demonspeaker on the 2nd and let the Nor and Theo the archer go (after looting their stuff)?

The archer has 8 arrows remaining.

Of their equipment they have some basic pots, blankets, bags, small knives, etc which are of some small value.  There are also a pair of axes and a bow.

The horses have cheap saddles.

Far and away the most valuable of their possessions are the horses.

In reply to GM (msg # 156):

Well we can't very well let them keep the horses if they're just gonna ride back to their lord and sic his goons on us. I need to ponder.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 157):

I told you to take the horses and their stuff for what its worth.  If you come back with anything less than two horses you are coming back to a Titus with cold cream on his face, two slices of cucumber that used to be on his eyes, a bathrobe and fuzzy slippers screaming at you.

Terrifying.

In reply to GM (msg # 159):

I also have the sponge rollers in.  DO YOU THINK MY HAIR STAYS LIKE THIS NATURALLY?!

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 160):

I've got nothing planned to go horribly wrong for now, so once you're done with your pondering, you're free to wander back to the Mill with or without prisoners, horses, loot as you see fit.

Titus is already on his way.

I like this thing that has happened.  I question how useful the first bit will be in the freaking mountains, but I guess that's what I get for being difficult.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 162):

Beggars can't be choosers.

speaking of new things, for the sake of my third power, does "physical die pools" include sense rolls?

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 164):

Hey Guys,

I'm flying out to Texas for a wedding this weekend.  I'll try to post but I don't know what my availability looks like. I'll try to type something up tonight, I didn't ready but I saw

CROSSROADS

...which looks important.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 165):

Crossroads just means the plot won't proceed 'til everyone's chimed in.

Yes, it's important :P

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 166):

@ Enrei:  No.  The idea is it applies to anything requiring dexterity, but not limited to Coordination pools.  MOST Body and Coordination pools will be affected.  Additionally, if you were, for example, using body language to convey a message (Empathy pool possibly) that would still be affected.

@ Titus:  No worries.  I'll be on the road Friday and on vacation for the next week.  Will try to get to a computer now and again but I can't guarantee anything.

In reply to GM (msg # 167):

that makes sense, wasn't sure if you were using physical die pools as a game term or just a logical one.

I will also be on vacation from sunday to saturday, but I don't expect any trouble at least checking in on the game.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 168):

As a reminder (to me as well): each full night of sleep will recover half shock per limb (round up).

Since the wolf attack, you have had 1 full night sleep.  The night at the mill does not count as a full night rest (except for Arule, Godrick and Lump)

In reply to GM (msg # 169):

those of us who are resilient recover all combat-related shock at the end of combat though.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 170):

I thought everyone healed shock damage after combat?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 171):

only half.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 172):

This reiterates my preferred strategy of not getting hit.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 173):

That's always been my suggestion.

In reply to GM (msg # 174):

I have something before I leave this inn.  What is its name?

We just received 42 pallets worth of material today so I'm a bit hunkered down.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 175):

There is no name, really, it's the closest tavern to the main gate.  Using your expert skills at talking to people candidly, you gather they mostly refer to it as the "front gate inn" or "that inn by the front gate at Thorngate".

In reply to GM (msg # 176):

Trying to dig out of this a little bit. I was on vacation last week.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 177):

So what is ahppening with our 'guest'... as stated before I don't much care if he lives or dies, I do have some questions that I would like answered, other than that... meh.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 178):

That's a good question.  The horses will not fit in the bar, naturally.

In reply to GM (msg # 179):

Are there stables in this village?

well if flynn doesn't believe we raninto demonspeakers we could always say that we brought him a present.  might give brennan some leverage in renegotiations.  I don't think any of us explicitly signed up for possible magical bullshit when flynn found us

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 181):

Sure there are stables.

In reply to GM (msg # 182):

Are there stables that won't react when we bring them a horse with a limp unconscious body draped across it?

I'm assuming he is still not awake...

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 183):

This is why we did it off-camera.

In reality what I envision is we take the guy off the horse (if he's not still drugged, we knock him out again first) and carry him into the tavern using your impeccable acting skills to convince the landlord the man is merely tired from a night of carousing and travel.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 184):

Done and done.

We'll assume this, yes.

OOC:  I'm not sure how many more "knocking outs" he can take...

In reply to GM (msg # 186):

Should we retcon this?  If he is awake wouldn't we have just interrogated him and decided what to do at that point?

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 187):
we could just assume Uldaf knocked him out without asking again.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 188):

meh sounds fine.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 189):

If he's properly bound and gagged it doesn't really matter if he's knocked out or not.

If he woke up at some point before town, we could have already interrogated him and then been done with it.

It's a lot to retcon at this point, but if you wanna do that, we can do it in a separate "6 hours ago" thread or something.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 190):

Up to you.

He'd certainly have regained consciousness at some point in the long hike.   The difficulty there is you have Godrick, Arule and Lump hanging around.

In reply to GM (msg # 191):

I'd think at least some of our party would want to stash him somewhere until we can get the muggles out of earshot.  more reason for him to sit in a dark room for the time being.

In reply to GM (msg # 191):

Either we knock him out immediately upon waking or we interrogate him. Titus would lobby to do the interrogation immediately that way we don't have to maintain assumed names and roles.  Then we either turn him loose or kill him... or drop him off at the sherriff's in town.

We are carrying a tied and gagged man over horse with little or no explanation.  I think it would be relatively easy to move the crew a safe way down the road and do the interrogation.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 193):

I dunno.  If we drop the assumed names and make it clear to him that we're a bunch if mercenaries on our way to join up with even more mercenaries who are liable to kill him, or ship him to the inquisitors the minute he stops being helpful that might make him more pliable than nebulous mystery noble and his servants or something.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 194):

We don't have to keep him knocked out the whole trip to the town. I presumed he was still under the effects of the potion he was force-fed.

We DO have to knock him out (for what would only need to be the first time since capturing him in the first place) to get him smuggled into the inn.

If anybody is stupid enough to ask a group of armed men about it, we can simply say make something up about him being disloyal to our lord, patron, or mercenary company and that it's an internal matter to be resolved shortly.

We are quite far away from any court. Might makes right in the outskirts. Nobody will ask.

Brennan has proven to be an altogether different animal than Conrad.

I have enjoyed both campaigns in different ways :)

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 204):

By the end of the last one I was rooting for the gnomes to kill James.  He was such a whiny bitch.  At some point I have to play someone who is just a cruel hearted asshole but have yet to make that character.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 205):

I could make one for you.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 206):

@ Enrei I'll enlist you next time.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 207):

You aren't impacting me at all Titus. It's a playful pain. I too am enjoying the wonders of trying to be someone than I usually am, and largely failing miserably.

They all end up eloquent sarcastic assholes :p

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 208):

Vacation in a place with bad internet until Monday, so updates will be sparse.

Titus, it seems, will be running around the city until after dark, at which point he's performing at the front gate inn.

In reply to GM (msg # 209):

Correct.  Sewing the seeds of mayhem and discontent.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 210):

Vacation with poor net til Tuesday night myself. Won't be able to post much either til then

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 211):

I'm back! It does not look like I missed much.

Or... anything.

Are we still playing?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 212):

Nope, you all starved to death between posts.

Sorry.

I'm just looking for what you're all going to do to occupy your time for the next... period of time?

Flynn said he has work you can take part in, but hasn't said what.  You could agree to help him, pump him for info, say screw it... whatever you want.

Titus is trolling the bars, alleys and small shops of Thorngate but said he'll be at the Inn by the main gate around sundown.

In reply to GM (msg # 213):

I can't really make a decision about what to do next until I have interrogated the prisoner.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 214):

Fair enough.

Is Flynn gonna go work for the guy who hired the demonspeaker?  we're gonna be the bad guys aren't we?  Enrei is going to be so terribly out of place.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 216):

What's the name of the ruined city, again? Farhelm?

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 217):

Losthelm is the furthest NorthEast city (with population) and is currently in rebellion with Xerxes.

The ruins further northeast of there have no other name.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 221):

I won't rush you.

In reply to GM (msg # 222):

Meanwhile, Uldaf is off on his own subadventure, because he literally would have killed everyone in the bar if he had to sit through another Titus performance.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 223):

wasn't titus performing at a different bar?  you could've stayed with all the other grumpy old guys, drinking out of skulls all night.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 224):

Titus is going to perform at the "Front Gate" Inn.

Flynn and Co. are drinking at the Bone Bowl.

In reply to GM (msg # 225):

And Brennan is already at the Frontgate, as is our prisoner.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 226):

I would 100% subscribe, and potentially pay money for the privilege, to an entire rpol/twitter feed of "Enrei encounters idioms"

"You don't want to kill the golden goose"

"Are there geese made of gold in these parts of the world, and why would people be killing them? You can't eat a goose made of metal without hurting your teeth. Teeth are needed for eating regular geese. I don't like golden goose, and think he should be avoided"

"A bird in hand is worth two in the bush."

"...No, two is more."

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 229):

"We are in middle of forest; where is boat?"

His reach exceeds his grasp.

"Is because arms are longer than hands."

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 231):

Titus, did you want to write anything for your performance?

In reply to GM (msg # 232):

No.  I'm going to tell tales of the first men, and introduce a new band of characters... Lord Fastbender and his riding Archons.  Whose antics are strangely familiar to the group.  I'll also tell one or two stories about our trip there, nothing to raise suspicion but keep them talking about us for time to come.  Also songs music magic... you generally Titus stuff.

I sent you a private message in game chat... I also want to go check in on Brennan.  Sorry for holding serve...

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 236):

Jon, if you want to take care of Uldaf in PMs, he's technically gone chasing off after your arbitrary plot.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 237):

I think Jon is dead.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 238):

Likely.

For now, all side-quests are being handled in-line with the main story, mostly so I can track how long everyone is out and about.

In reply to GM (msg # 239):

..I hate you Jon.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 240):

This makes our inability to see what's going on all the more intriguing.

In my defense, I thought I was clear what was going on...

Man my sense of humor needs fine tuning...

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 241):

The secret text I've been getting is by far the best.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 243):

Don't worry about Uldaf; he's just fallen into a fable.

If he comes back with a pocket watch or a wig, you should all be terrified.

I also think it's worth noting that while we don't often talk about how our characters are appearing at a given moment, Uldaf has literally never removed the wolf head since he procured it. He's 100% walking around like a crazy wolf shaman.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 244):

Titus may as well be wearing James' fey glamour, he puts it to far better use than that idiot ever would.  He looks fabulous!

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 245):

Brennan has no further updates until a PC enters the Frontgate or it becomes bedtime.

As am I. Can we get an estimate of when James is done holding our party hostage?

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 250):

Just a bit more I'm doing something actually relevent to story.  Unless Jon will let me proceed and we can do my current quests in the background as I go to visit Brennan.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 251):

Or unless Jon is not going to give me anything anyway and you just want to make it public knowledge...

All depends if you ask good questions...

wait I lost track of titus.  is he still interrogating the witch Flynn caught or did he find a new and interesting shlub to ask questions somewhere in town?

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 254):

Shhhhhhh

I feel like Uldaf has no one but himself and his player to blame for this distraction.

If titus taps a series of bricks and then goes to buy an owl I'm going to be much more curious about what I haven't been seeing.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 256):

A mysterious woman walks into the bar, looks troubled, and walks out? That's the start of like, every DnD campaign ever.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 263):

Just come to the Frontgate. I've been sitting there drinking and waiting for our rendezvous for a while now. We can pick up there while we wait.

You'd probably want to return there anyway because that's where we stashed the demonspeaker.

Titus was supposed to go talk to the witch Flynn's men captured, because we do want to get a look at the witch before breaking ties with Flynn (if indeed that is still our plan).

Provided he manages to do that, I suppose strictly speaking I don't mind the dilly-dallying.

Besides, I'm quite enjoying Enrei's fight scene. Though I share his confusion about the rabble.

It might be they're mildly racist and/or don't care for someone who walks into Fight Club assuming it's actually Backyard Wrestling, but I have an inkling that's not the whole of it, and I hipe I'm right.  I think the most fun I've had in this game is when I know more than my character.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 265):

I'm in the opposite boat, where my character often knows more than I do. Sigh. Still, amusing fight scene! I think you get paid every time you win, so if you defeat the whole crowd you'd be sitting pretty :)

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 266):

I wonder if I should have making Enrei the accidentally wealthiest party member be a side goal.  I feel like if it snowballs far enough it could have some magical consequences.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 267):

I'll be honest. At times, I've felt an awful lot like Rincewind to your Twoflower in terms of communication barriers with everyone else. You being loaded with gold does nothing to change that.

I almost did that with the line

he may be waiting for me and titus to stop durdling so he can fast-track the end of the evening a bit

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 282):

You can write yourself back in whenever you feel like.

Delay is just so we can catch Titus up to the end of the day when he's performing, since Brennan is waiting for that.

Uldaf can participate or not, up to him.

Enrei is doing his own stuff, and is not obligated to wait for anything nor are we waiting for him.  Likely his funeral services will be in the morning.

In reply to GM (msg # 283):

OHHHHH

Poor Enrei.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 284):

It's all Dan's fault.  He made me a public embarassment.  I hope he's ashamed.

I don't think Dan is physically capable of feeling ashamed.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 286):

More true than you know

Just so you know this is what it was like dealing with Forrest.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 288):

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 289):

Dan.  Trying like hell to make you feel bad and you stubbornly refuse to do it.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 290):

Forrest knew what was right and good in the world, and he knew he didn't generally fit the definition.  No shame in knowing where you stand.  Besides, he was a noble scoundrel.  he negotiated with indians and helped you that one time a guy tried to cheat at a gun fight, I didn't see Dan removing the bottle from my fist fight.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 291):

Fair enough.

Brennan did you mean to send me something or was that just a you have nothing to say?

Careful, there is only one God...

In reply to GM (msg # 294):

What if there are two Gods have two dreams?

Or even three?!

What if the wandering haunt is the manifestation of each of the three Gods.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 295):

what if the wandering haunts are just one god's Id, Ego, and Superego given physical form?

what if we are all gods, and are actions are just the enaction of our personal divine force?

what if god is dead and reality is just the decomposition of divinity?

what if i suggested a bunch more trippy and/or new agey and/or philosophical bullshit for fun?

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 296):

what if these are truly the thoughts going through Enrei's head.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 297):

Enrei is not actually stupid, he is just profoundly introspective.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 298):

Uldaf's back. Definitely not crazy. Definitely not a mass murderer. Definitely not plotting the slaughter of any NPCs.

Probably safe to let your guard down.

In reply to Uldaf Asbjorn (msg # 299):

Is anything going to happen during Titus's performance, or can we skip ahead to "The performance was awesome and memorable and then everyone went to bed and woke up and Enrei was there with bruises and a broad smile"?

I'm asking for a friend.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 300):

I already did the performance thing... there was nothing memorable unless Jon wants to add it.  I'm waiting on y'all at this point.

I have one errand I want to run before I go to sleep tonight, but other than that...

Enrei's player has already been told some of it, and made aware that the plan is to not have Enrei or Uldaf anywhere on the vicinity, so I guess at this point Titus just has to cross his fingers that Uldaf doesn't spawn out of nowhere.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 310):

Agreed.

I would love to have a comedic encounter with the inquisitor before Titus and Brennan even see him but I don't see that happening given numerous current circumstances, and that makes me sad.

And then the inquisitor walked in and put them all to the sword on principle, the end.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 313):

Cool. Reroll!

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 314):

The Katenses will give you a few moments more, but no longer.  Once you have your completed plan we'll move forward.

In reply to GM (msg # 315):

Waiting on you to answer my question Brennan then I think I'm good.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 316):

Great!

Then you'll have to explain the plan to me...

In reply to GM (msg # 317):

What do you think he was doing this whole time?? :P

My understanding of the plan is:

PLAN ALPHA: Try to get the guy remanded into our custody through a web of bullshit, which may or may not involve illusions.

PLAN BETA: Triggered by Titus crossing his arms behind his back. Use illusions to fake a demonic possession ending, complete with demon bursting out of the accused witch and dissipating. The accused witch would then fake amnesia of all recent events, including those for which he is to be tried. The hope is he would then be released or, again, remanded into our custody for recovery.

PLAN SNAFU: Triggered by dropping Titus's cloak. If neither of the above work, the witch is to blast the Inquisitor with fire and venom and swarms of bees and vicious ferrets. Combat will likely ensue, though in the confusion (and with illusory help) we all hope to slip away. If that happened, the accused witch would meet us in the woods later by listening for Titus's music after dark.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 318):

Couldn't have said it better myself.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 319):

This is going to be fun.

In reply to GM (msg # 320):

We are so going to die.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 321):

Jon, how far am I from Brennan if I need to run and get him?  Other than that I am waiting on the inquisitor.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 322):

Just squeal. I'll definitely come running to your aid, and not leave you to your fate.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 323):

From the cell to the front door is a couple rounds of running.

In reply to GM (msg # 324):

But an arrow can cover that same distance in like, one round, right?

Hypothetically, of course.

In reply to Brennan Otthild (msg # 325):

arrows do go pretty fast.

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 326):

*deep breath*

And into the breech I go.

@Enrei, I love your new bioline.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 327):

Made me laugh too!

what about nose ferrets?

In reply to Enrei Omal'i (msg # 329):

shhhhh.... we don't talk about those.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 330):

Actually, I just bought the Deadlands Marshal's Handbook...

In reply to GM (msg # 331):

No you didn't.  We have no need of that.  Especially since we don't have someone who can double tap to the heart from across the full board.

In reply to Titus Blackwell (msg # 332):

It's a fun book filled with fun ideas.

In reply to GM (msg # 333):

Hey, look! Apples!
