Re: OOC: Table Talk ONE

I read some Elric stories, but nothing else of Moorcock's ever caught my attention. Any recommendations?

I'll be traveling between 12/24 and 1/1, but I'm fairly sure I'll be checking in and posting.

Re: OOC: Table Talk ONE

Merry Christmas All, just a quick reminder, and I'll post as I can through the holidays...

As one by one the heroes go upstairs, some more reluctantly than others, there is strange excitement-fear that runs through the group.  As various items of power and memories are set aside, rings of power, weapons of power, musical instruments of power, amulets, spell books, and clothing, the party becomes more and more exposed. The items stir memories of how they were acquired, of past times, and how they've been used to stay alive, it is un-natural to be heading off on a quest without them, and yet, a bit like a rebirth.   A time travel back to earliest days of adventuring, when luck, and gristle, and being too stubborn or brave to run away made the day.

You find the blankets are very thin but really soft and dense, they are much larger than you'd expect and can be wrapped around you many ways, toga style, tied into robes, even making a hood if desired.  They are comforting and seem to make you feel just a little giddy.

On returning back downstairs, the main room has been transformed.  Trees have grown up  in the room, sprung right from the wood floors and between them hang six hammocks.  There is a small table with glasses of wine and beside each one, a shriveled berry. There is an amulet with a tiny stone-like cube on it, and five very small glass looking coins, mirrored on one side. Elexi is already lying in the one closest to the kitchen, smoking his pipe.

"Have a drink, a berry, and pick a spot.  Get really comfortable.  It won't take effect for a few hours, and during that time, I will tell you a bit about the plane of dream.  The amulet is for Saliq, its made of dreamstone.  If you make it to my sisters home, it should open the door, she doesn't know I have one and they are extremely rare.  One coin each, they are looking glass coins, very valuable for trade in the more solid areas of Dream.  Before you drift off to sleep, put these under your tongue."

Does Saliq still have that amulet, even though he is otherwise naked?

Yes and unless you spent it you have your coins,  you are back in  prime so no changing forms

Re: OOC: Table Talk ONE

Greetings and salutations. Hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas Feast...or whatever feast you celebrate. I, for one, feel like I haven't stopped running around like a lunatic for the past 3 months. Almost can't wait for the holidays to be over, frankly. I'll be happy to get back to the office to get some rest after all this merry-making.

HoHoHo...

Re: OOC: Table Talk ONE

Somewhere in these threads were the instructions for using our magical powers -- but I cannot find it and I lacked the foresight to note it or put the info in my scratchpad.

Help?

I'm not sure those powers will work in the Blur. We seem pretty solidly not-dream right now.

Inas is not pleased with that answer.

Hey, I’m not your DM, so I’m not the final authority. Go ahead and try out your dream powers!

DM - we've kind of hand-waved it throughout the game. Can Rath cast spells without his holy symbols?

Re: OOC: Table Talk ONE

Hey, I have an open weapon proficiency slot. Can I use it to become proficient immediately with a dagger? If not, I'll probably still attack the dragon, given not many other options ... .

If you have an open proficiency then yes, you can choose anything for that slot.

Re: OOC: Table Talk ONE

This adventure reminds me a little bit of A4 - the last of the slavers series. Just an observation.

Oh, by the way, we're almost at our post limit in this thread. fyi.

I recently learned that the thread limit doesn't mean much. Exceeding the post count only prevent you from using the search function on the thread, but it won't be locked up.
