Re: OOC - The Second comming

On that topic...

he would prime the flame lance again and aim it at the spider thing that Khazim held at bay.

Do these weapons have such precise aim?    My impression was they shoot a "gob" of fire, that sort of bursts on impact.    Is it safe to use when we are so near the target?

Holding my action till I know --  so I know whether or not to change weapons.

Re: OOC - The Second comming

I'm using these in the sense of a "bolt of fire/Plasma"

I'm basing the operation on my fuzzy recollection of when Hawkmoon assaulted Gran Bretan. They talked about things getting hit being splashed with "molten fire"

Either
1. When hitting the ramparts is so hot it slagged the stone and caused molten rock
2. It is a "beam" of energy that splashes


According to my old Hawkmoon book: Flame-lances are thermal weapons that shoot a beam of hot red light that splashes around the target’s body, often setting them alight....

When a flame-lance attack hits, it splashes and strikes much of the victim’s body. Roll on the Flame-Lance location table, then apply the main burn damage listed before the slash to the main burn location and the damage listed after the slash to the adjacent areas.

Yes I'm giving away some of the secrets of the weapons you are using, but in essence, it is not a "glob" per se. It does however always have a splash effect.


In close proximity, say not exactly Hand to Hand, I'd say you could be precise - They do make "pistol" versions according to the book. Since Khazim is using a Boar spear I would say that is outside of range, though the spear my not be all that well after the fight.

Since I'm grey, just don't fumble,   mwahahaha

Re: OOC - The Second comming

I know like it sounds like a broken record, but, life had been difficult over the last few weeks. Currently I'm at work, I can not guarantee I'll be able to do anything when (It feels more like if at this point) I get home but I'm sure going to try.

No need to explain, just get back to us when you can....:)  At least that is my take on it.

Life is a broken record, at times.

Hope things resolve for the best -  please take whatever time you may need.

Re: OOC - The Second comming

I am here. Sort of.
Best example I can give is today. I'm supposed to be off, yet due to the brilliance and foresight of where I work, out of 8 managers 2 have been approved for vacations (for the whole week) One position has yet to be filled, and the Store manager is off all week as well.

That leaves 4 of us. Of those 4 only 2 know how to work the cash office and the "off day worker" to our normal cash office worker is sick in the hospital (not sure why there is no backups.

I'm called last night to come in on my day off because there is no one who can run the cash office thanks to basic circumstances. But hey, We are fully staffed...

Re: OOC - The Second comming

So, am I correct that we are going to have to leap from slab to slab to continue?

Re: OOC - The Second comming

For the most part yes. Nothing like huge spans, unless I want those slabs to drift dramatically at tree wrong moment

Lukily Rael is short and slender, so either Viktor or Berta could toss him from slab to slab :)

Re: OOC - The Second comming

Sorry all, I've never had good luck with Linksys, this week was no exception. I router began to fail even though the damn thing is less than a year old. New one installed and I'm back up and running.

Other than that I was on my long stretch with a new store manager. Brand new ideas that I'm expected to basically sacrifice my entire life to ensure that my zone is turned around NOW!!!!!!!!

Most of the ideas make absolutely no sense, but they all worked in California at his store 3 times our size. We are a small store among lots of rural farmers and do-it-yourselfers.

I know I have to reboot my modem/router more often than seems good ...

... rule #1: know thy customer base.

I suppose when the ideas don't pan out, that'll be your fault too !  ;<

Re: OOC - The Second comming

Hope things are going better!


In the Elric! rules, there is indeed a spell "Membrane of Law."

But, the Corum supplement does have Membrane of Chaos, as part of its sorcery rules, also.          So, who the hell knows-?      Certainly not my clueless character!     (Int 12, Million spheres 0%)

Maybe it's Saran Wrap of Balance...


Edit-  For fellow book brats, I believe the whole "membrane of law" idea is taken from like the 4th or 3rd novel, where lord Donblas has the Burning God trapped in Nodsakor's tunnels, with such a membrane.

Re: OOC - The Second comming

Berta is as equally clueless on that score as Esyld !  (Int 13, Million spheres 0%)

I had some recollection of a similar membrane in the first (I think, at least chronologically) Elric Book Elric of Melnibone where (and I've just thumbed through it to find the reference) they entered a fleshy 'Pulsing Cavern' and passed through an aperture to find the runeswords, but that's just a similar theme ... no mirrors there, and I don't recall the membrane that you mention ...

... though just managed to find that too (in the Vanishing Tower), described as a "shimmering skin" !  :>
