That's totally reasonable -- it was confusing a little bit, I know, since Siff went to do the Physician roll and then stopped to do other things.  And I know this has been way too long IRL for you and poor Korentin to be just laying around with kind of nothing to do, and I am sorry -- I really am trying to keep moving, and I deeply appreciate your patience.

But yes, Imerdijn is being rained on again, and I believe I now know where you stand health-wise, so... you don't have to. grin  At least not until someone opens the box?

In reply to Garlen (msg # 828):

 Coming up on four months. Two and a half percent of the total time Kor's been in this game. ^_^

I want to, but it just seems too, silly, to have Tril flying under her hand in an an attempt to carry the only part of her he might be able to lift.

I mean, technically, your Strength die can explode just like anybody else's.  Trilarigas might just heave and toss Imerdijn across the cave.  ...but it does seem improbable.

I don't want to micromanage, but I think everyone is aware now that the rain is causing actual damage.  So that's really, I would think, the main thing to consider, individually, in deciding whether to go try to drag Imerdijn or not -- can you take a few more rounds of that?  Because it's probably not too helpful if you run out and just fall on top of Imerdijn.

And Trilarigas is probably exempt on that score, too.



Well.  I mean.  As long as no one's keeping score, there's no pressure, right?

...eep.

 It is of course gently ironic, because we actually had a Last Chance Salve in the party. Korentin was aggressively unwilling to take the payment for our first-ish job back in 2007.

 Korentin then insisted we use it because Mountainshadow (the DM) ballsed up a PC leaving the group by having their character get killed around the rest of us, and of course we'd use a resource like that if we had one and never mind it was a waste of time OOCly, it wasn't ICly.

 Although thinking about it, Calypte would have been carrying it.

I'm pretty sure she was.  If I remember right, one of the first things Calypte said when she was brought back to consciousness was something like, "Bottom of my pack, get the salve."  It really took the shine off of her, "OMG, did anybody see me dance with that wyvern?  Wasn't that awesome?  Do you think this'll leave a cool scar?  I think it went all the way  through!"  sigh

Um.  But yeah, I agree it was kind of mishandled?  But it was also a pretty good scene.  I miss Ronia sometimes, though, and Baraak Khuul was it?  They had great chemistry.  Calypte thought they were growing into a beautiful couple.

In reply to Garlen (msg # 833):

 Yup. Heh, I'd forgotten the Wyverns... That was up there with the giant stone throwing bug.

As an FYI, because I was broadsided by the news, the EDPT's Book of Tomorrow has been restarted and released #7 just recently.

 So, it's been over a week.

 You do all realise Korentin is unconscious, right? ^_^

Right.
Sorry. I've kept thinking I already posted here and got busy with new job and everything.

Tril is quietly watching, and hoping.

Sorry, K... I did say to Garlen I needed to get a post up... um... a week ago.

Working on moving and such. But, hey! Probably you'll be up and murdering horrors in no time now! Right? *looks at death rain outside* Right?

D'oh.  Not sure why I skipped over that fact, since the numbers were right there.  Oh well, at least you're not dead anymore :)

To be fair, with Black it is sometimes hard to tell.  It's not like he gets any less talkative, or holds his tail more still, or anything, whether he's conscious, unconscious, or dead.

Trilarigas, on the other hand, seems to have some very eloquent fiddling!

A winding can say with the lift of a wing and a dip of an ear what bigger namegivers take sonnets to express...just most of them never shut up long enough for taller folk to figure it out.

The Windling mime scene must be amazing...

It would be, but those guys have nothing to say.

Also, sometime during the Scourge, they were all trapped in invisible boxes.


Scholars are still debating whether this was the work of a Horror or a philanthropist.

Was "Learn the words" painted in blood on the wall?

I don't actually know if that helps to solve the mystery though...

 But posting in the IC thread might!

I suppose it would help if I had a clear idea of what I want to do next...

Come to think of it, I had my idea earlier about collecting rainwater but didn't have a good container to use - I don't suppose the salve came in a glass jar or something similar?

How much did you want to collect?

We could almost certainly rig a small container out of something in here, if you only need an ounce or two.

 You have wagons, which have canvas. A little rope-and-peg work, and you have all the water catching capacity you need.

There's a point that you'd have to go out to the wagons to get that canvas and that might not be ideal?

...But there's a counterpoint that probably the wagons are already collecting up lots of rainwater and when it's over you can just go get some.  I think Kathkar is looking more at long-term storage?  That's what you'd want glass for.

Salves I don't see being in glass.  Salves are... coherent, they can be wrapped in leaves or waxed paper or something.  (Last Chance Salves are expensive, of course, so they'd be carefully wrapped and packed, but.)  Potions I see being in glass, at least until Yrsgrathe introduces single-use plastics.

My impression when you first asked was that you were looking to basically just put a bottle at the edge of the rain, though, and I don't see that getting anything?  You'd have to go up to the edge of the cave to put it where the small opening of a potion bottle would actually catch the rainwater.  Which is definitely a thing you can and should do, but I say that in the GM-y way.  Otherwise, yeah, you need, first, something more open to catch the water.  The wagons definitely count but if you want it sooner, I'm sure someone has a hat or helmet or something, like Trilarigas said it wouldn't be hard at all to just lay something out in a vague bowl-shape.

I don't actually know if anyone has used a booster potion recently enough to assume they still have the bottle.  But there are several potions in Garl'thak's box, which also might be helpful in other ways.  Just keep in mind his general comment of like, yeah, first priority is keeping everyone alive, but also, he's a merchant and these are his wares and like, later, that's something to think about.  Especially given that probably the rest of his wares aren't faring very well and he's down a wagon.
