It's been a while, but doesn't message bake-in an allowed reply to the message?

DM, would parties receiving the spell know that?  Or perhaps an arcana check if not?

Yeah, can I respond to Ezguar?

Good point. Presumably, if one wizard is sending the Message to another wizard, the receiving wizard would know he can reply. I suppose, though, anyone with Knowledge (arcana) or Spellcraft would likely know that. Otherwise, it would be something included in the message.

Since Ezguar doesn't know Victor yet, he would have included something like 'I can hear a 3-second reply.'

The spell description doesn't put a limit on words, probably because it depends on how fast you speak and what language you are using. However, the duration is 1 round. So whatever you can say in 6 seconds... or 3 seconds if you want a reply.

That seems rather absurd. Admittedly, it's meant to be a short message, rather than an entire speech, but, still. Nor does it offer any guidelines for how long it can take the receiver to reply. I don't think it breaks the rules all that much if I expand the duration to two minutes for the original message and add in two minutes for the reply. Nor does it seem unreasonable if the receiver can feel the time ticking away while he tries to think of what he wants to reply.

So, to answer Victor's question, yes, he knows he can whisper a reply that the sender will receive, but he only has 12 seconds to respond.

A belated greeting to you all! Hrull shall be my name, and I bring with me the blessings of a Ki-Rin to ease your ills...to a point

Welcome Hrull, Axia!

All arcane, all the time.  Except for the quiet dwarves ? :)

Arcane Avengers, ho!

Lol Vic doesn't want any of that teifling ass? Pretty funny interactions to say the least.

You seem to have missed the wink he gave when he said that, Ezguar.

In reply to Victor Harkness (msg # 53):

Oh I caught it alright. I just don't think that was the move she was looking for :P.

Ty for the welcome Nixon. And don't worry I'm not one to give up so easily. ;p

I think the warlocks now outnumber everyone else?
Good stuff.  And all 3 different styles.  Speaks well of the flexibility of the class.

In reply to Nixon Nantickle (msg # 56):

Ugh Tiefling Warlock, yuck, how perverted.

In reply to Thressa Wildflame (msg # 57):

Looool so naive. You think Tieflings are perverts? Have you seen the crap humans are into? ROFLMFAO

In reply to Ezguar Grimlock (msg # 58):

It is at least half a joke Ezguar especially considering what I am playing

In reply to Thressa Wildflame (msg # 59):

Fair enough but it still funny when compared to humans.

Do tell.  *quirks human brow, as he looks as the other human warrior*

Don't look at me, I'm not into anything a Tiefling might not be into!

In reply to Nixon Nantickle (msg # 61):

As a gnome I don't know much but I heard some human put things in their bums. Shocking I know, but it's true.

Hello, everyone! Thought I'd stop in and introduce myself. I'll be playing Vilderhardt, the thinks-he's-just-an-elf Warlock.

Another warlock. Popular class, it seems.

Next level for you to join the party... :p

My 11 Charisma will finally come in handy ;)

Nothing but gold.
... and Nixon won't be winning any armwrestling, so.. hey.. :)

Oof this has been a rough month for me... Sorry about my reply being as slow as it was but I have been keeping up and I'm glad we finally rejoined the other party!!!! Now things will get a bit more interesting and less complicated/split.

That's RL for you. Just when you think things have straightened out, another curve and another bump suddenly appear.

Anyway... I was working on a map, but got busy, plus I don't have quite the right program to work on maps (particularly to fix existing ones), so it took longer than it should have or I thought it would.

So, the map should be up soon.

The blue areas are water.

The green areas are parts that the group has been through.

The sections in the upper left and in the center are speculation based on what you have seen and heard. It probably isn't completely accurate, but it's probably close enough.
