Yes! That's just the word for this occasion!

This is what I had in mind!

If the manticores will not yield any useful guts or such, then we can probably simply cut of the tail of the one that did not spike the party, while Dax scrapes up the remains of Ocai, and then we can head back to Helix.

I have to say in all the years of playing, I cannot recall fighting manticores so I have no idea if there is anything else of worth to collect.

Okay, it sounds as though the general idea is to leave the manticores be and return to Helix. I think. I’m going to assume as much and move everything forward accordingly unless I’m told anything to the contrary by tomorrow.

To reiterate: I don’t really feel it’s my place to give an opinion on the wisdom of the party electing to or to not downsize. I only volunteered the information on who would depart, which is based on a sober assessment of the party’s capabilities. The final decision on Ynes remaining or leaving rests with the adventurers.

If there is a strong push to make Ynes the hirelings’ captain, we can discuss the possibility.

Downsize? Why would we? Safherd (particularly) and Ynes have both shown their worth, it would be madness (IMO) to ask them to leave.

Also, I had never rolled for Lander's secondary skill...

15:07, Today: Lander rolled 22 using 1d100.

Yes, that's right - we have another butcher! If you thought elves only ate salad...

I love it!  Butcher twin powers - activate!

Triplets!

Why would we downsize?

No real compelling reasons, Lander. More like we used to need the NPCs because of the number of PCs. It would go to reason that now that we have a full complement of pcs, that we might not need all of the NPCs.

Safherd has been indispensable (unavoidably so with the departure of the PC thief some time ago). She could always choose to dispense with herself or even open her own dispensary.

Sol, if you're going to stay fighter/thief, I think the Crom armor should go to Ynes after it has been refitted.

I'm thinking my twin brother Max MacKane might replace me. Just need to change his name and tweak him a bit is all to make him a fighter.

I think the real reason the possibility of downsizing is being considered is because it brings with it the possibility of making incidents like the encounters that took place during the party’s recent camp out far more exciting.


Solomon, I’m not entirely clear on what this means. If you’re planning to take up a new character, you’ll need to create one utilizing the guidelines in the Character Creation thread. The new character’s experience points will ultimately need to be adjusted to equal what Solomon would have exited the game with.

Okay, still just a tweak! ;-)

You want to keep Sol as an occasional NPC in Helix? If so, I'll need a new 'character sheet' to open up. If so, please leave Sol with me for a day or so so I can use him as a template for his twin brother Maximillian. ;-)

Maybe it's a BM thing. Maybe in BM you go big.

For who? ;)

I'd call midnight attacks from dragons and manticores pretty darned exciting! Two dragons or four manticores would be 'exciting', if you call TPKs exciting.

I have a new sheet set up for you.

Thanks boss!

Can we retcon, and say Nohvi was the third brother of his family?

Then we would've been Nohvi MacKane.

Plus, he can go on an epic quest for vengeance.

Sorry, I guess I'm numb to your humour. ;)

Twin sisters Sugar and Candy...

He can, so long as he remembers to floss every day.

Where the heck are the combat tables? The one that tells you what you need to hit what AC?

Page 60 in my book, under Encounters and Combat. Why did they not put an entry for this in the TOC????

Thanks! I don't know why the index has to be worthless!

"Quick Cook" MacKane? "Chips" MacKane? "Crunchy" MacKane? ;)

Sol and Max are heirs to a french fry empire.  They adventure because it's fun, not because they need the gold!

Does that mean Sol and Max are fellow Canadians?  Awesome!  :D

I can see that the 'Strumpet may want to sign a deal for exclusive supply of Sol & Max's products.  The townsfolk and the visiting soldiers won't be able to get enough of them!

We'll just assume that B. and N. were talking over each other :P.
