_m_ 01-18-07, 08:45 PM	just thought id see if people really do just click on everything in these forums like i do. i mean, some of the thread titles are really NOT helpfull when ur trying to work out what they are about. i mean, half elf devish swash build is a good one, im fair confident i can guess what thats about. but 'dwarf build'? so its a dwarf.... woo. so yeah, i just thought id see if people, like me, really are bored / eccentric enough to simply read everything.
kenobi65 01-18-07, 08:54 PM	Apparently some are. Not me, however.
PancakeMan_0141 01-18-07, 08:55 PM	Yes reading everything......FUN!
JJeff 01-18-07, 09:10 PM	Read? Some people just random click on threads and post in them without reading the original post. That results in thread topic deviation and flaming and what not...
_m_ 01-18-07, 09:10 PM	Apparently some are. Not me, however. indeed, you are, most certainly, to smart and laking in frivolous nature to do so.
Japangirl 01-18-07, 09:33 PM	I want to go laking! Is it like swimming? Oh, and yes, I do read pretty much everything in here. I like making all the dark colored circles go grey.
_m_ 01-18-07, 09:43 PM	I want to go laking! Is it like swimming? Oh, and yes, I do read pretty much everything in here. I like making all the dark colored circles go grey. mmmm. laking. japangirl, can i ask you a personal question? ... will you go laking with me?
kenobi65 01-18-07, 09:49 PM	... will you go laking with me? This is quickly heading into TMI-land... ;)
Japangirl 01-18-07, 09:51 PM	mmmm. laking. japangirl, can i ask you a personal question? ... will you go laking with me? Why m., I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you! . . . I'd love to.
_m_ 01-18-07, 09:56 PM	Why m., I'm shocked! Shocked, I tell you! . . . I'd love to. :blush: i... i dont know what to say... i promised myself i wouldnt go laking again... i hope im ready... (and kenobi, how could we get to TMI-land? as far as i can tell, this thread contains precisely NO information at all... about anything *grin*)
clannagh 01-18-07, 10:17 PM	i am just trying to bump my post count so i will appear 1337
RedKnightofKet 01-18-07, 10:39 PM	and here I thought I was special, m... :weep: And to the original topic, I click on two kinds of threads - those that sound interesting, and those that come from interesting people ;) :blush: i... i dont know what to say... i promised myself i wouldnt go laking again... i hope im ready... (and kenobi, how could we get to TMI-land? as far as i can tell, this thread contains precisely NO information at all... about anything *grin*)
LGMoses 01-18-07, 11:00 PM	i never really look at build titled threads. I don't give a crap about peples builds. Great, u've turned a game about roleplaying and learning about yourself through pretending to be someone else into a numbers game. How else can you cheapen this game? I read the thread titles and choose ones i like. I keep up with the ones I like. simple as that.

I read the thread titles and choose ones i like. I keep up with the ones I like. simple as that. Ah, but for me personally I like the challenge of coming up with wacky but workable builds (although I've yet to play my ascetic wild mage build). For some of people, this is *just* a game, not a learning experience.

bitznarf 01-19-07, 07:12 PM	D&D is just as much a numbers game as it is a roleplaying game. If it wasn't, D&D wouldn't use dice. I would say D&D is what you make it. Thats the beauty of it, everyone plays it for their own reasons.
Genghis Cohen 01-19-07, 07:27 PM	I would say D&D is what you make it. Thats the beauty of it, everyone plays it for their own reasons.I basically agree with that. D&D is a hybrid between a LARP and a wargame. Someone might prefer one aspect over the other, but you still need both for it to be D&D.
LGMoses 01-19-07, 09:03 PM	D&D is just as much a numbers game as it is a roleplaying game. If it wasn't, D&D wouldn't use dice. I'm not going to flame/snipe whatever. Take what you want out of the game. IMO if you play to win you just won't get as much enjoyment, but maybe u just get a different kind of satisfaction. U know, like when you beat a single player turn based strategy game. So you see, everyone enjoys the game differently.

Until you've sat a table with me and played, please don't prejudge me or anyone else.

I'm just trying to say that everyone gets their own personal kind of satisfaction from the game and there is nothing wrong with how you enjoy the game as long as you don't cause anyone else at the table to have less fun. Enjoy the game however you like.

_m_ 01-20-07, 07:50 AM	woah woah woah! everyone hold up. this thread is getting dangerously close to being an actual topic of discusion. lets go back to me, red and japangirl going laking... its much more important.
RedKnightofKet 01-20-07, 02:01 PM	Yeah, the laking is much more fun... :drool: woah woah woah! everyone hold up. this thread is getting dangerously close to being an actual topic of discusion. lets go back to me, red and japangirl going laking... its much more important.
Britt 01-20-07, 02:22 PM	I'm disappointed that I don't get to go laking, too :( Actually, I don't like swimming in lakes. Something about not being able to see through the water bothers me. Of course, if the lake were clear, I might be able to :)
Japangirl 01-20-07, 03:22 PM	Yeah, the laking is much more fun... :drool: Indeed. Laking for everyone!
kenobi65 01-20-07, 08:31 PM	Laking for everyone! But...but... I can't swim... :(
Crazy Boro 01-20-07, 08:34 PM	But...but... I can't swim... :( You can always be the cap'n of the party boat thats out on the lake for people to enjoy. ;)
Lomiat 01-20-07, 10:28 PM	You can always be the cap'n of the party boat thats out on the lake for people to enjoy. ;) Hmm... I hope you're not from Minnesota. That's getting a little close to creepy, given the laking habits of our local sports teams.
Crazy Boro 01-20-07, 11:44 PM	Hmm... I hope you're not from Minnesota. That's getting a little close to creepy, given the laking habits of our local sports teams. Didn't mean it in that way. Just need someone to be nautically talented in getting a party boat with some tunes and a small bar on it out there for everyone. Maybe even get a mod in. That way even those who can't swim could be out there having a good time. :D Not sure as to what has been going on in Minnesota, but I guess I might have accidently hit something that I didn't intend. :confused:

Apparently, some "extreme partying" went on, to the point where criminal charges were filed. Oh, they had a good time, for sure. :D

Apparently, some "extreme partying" went on, to the point where criminal charges were filed. Oh, they had a good time, for sure. :D Sounds like they went beyond that and hit that line of stupidity. But, alas, they were the ones who went to that point and got into the trouble where those charges were needed. I meant more in the friendly recreation sort of way. :) Not the crazy to the point of criminal charges.
Japangirl 01-21-07, 03:49 AM	Mmmm friends, drinking, and D&D. Always a good time! :pint:
_m_ 01-21-07, 03:39 PM	Mmmm friends, drinking, and D&D.

cycloptic_squirrel 01-21-07, 09:03 PM	how the hell am i meant to work with a CHANSAW IN MY HEAD!!!!?>?!?! Stand tall. Several people have gone on to become successful despite chainsaw related handicaps. Just the other day I saw a documentary about a man who who had the misfortune of having a hand replaced by a chainsaw; he went on to defeat an entire army of undead abominations. Of course he had a boomstick, but surely you must have something equally as useful at your disposal...

Japangirl 01-22-07, 10:44 PM	What, random posts about nothing at all?
cycloptic_squirrel 01-22-07, 10:49 PM	What, random posts about nothing at all? I'm pretty sure they have to be about chainsaws or pants or Vikings or something. I think completely random posts don't actually count.
RedKnightofKet 01-22-07, 10:51 PM	Actually, I think they can be about any random topic. Even if that topic is what topic they're allowed to be about... Doesn't this feel like we're putting a bag of holding into a portable hole?....:crazy: I'm pretty sure they have to be about chainsaws or pants or Vikings or something.

_m_ 01-30-07, 07:10 PM	YOU can make a difference...
clannagh 01-30-07, 07:45 PM	Hmmm... I suppose this means my only hope of claiming veteran status is to bank on 'the start' being a relative term. How long do you suppose this thread has to get for 'halfway down the second page' to be included in 'the start'? I wouldn't want to go around making false claims.:P CIA response ..... Thread ??? Who TOLD you about the thread ??? There is no thread !!!!!! There has never been a thread. Please step away from the keyboard.
RedKnightofKet 01-30-07, 09:27 PM	YOU can make a difference... You ARE just a number... and I'm number 100!
copper_wyrmling 01-30-07, 11:26 PM	Ooh! So I can be 101? *grumbles* I went all the way to Australia and even played at the same con as m and my Wild Mage still didn't get to meet Alvin :weep: Who would've thought two levels could mean so much? (i.e. L11 Azrien got mustered onto the APL 12 table... and L9 Alvin had to play APL 8 :( )
cycloptic_squirrel 01-30-07, 11:27 PM	and squirrel-guy, if you want to be part of the "early ones" I'd say we need to be on page 9 or 10, at the very least - so get cracking! Wait... you mean I might actually have to do something for the honor? Dang. I thought I could just sit back, and wait for admiration pour in. If it involves doing anything, I'm not sure I could contribute significantly...
Japangirl 01-30-07, 11:29 PM	But that's the great thing. This thread is all about nothing! Thus, you don't have to contribute significantly to anything, just nothing. What is the nature of nothing?

cycloptic_squirrel 01-31-07, 12:28 AM	But that's the great thing. This thread is all about nothing! Thus, you don't have to contribute significantly to anything, just nothing. So, you're saying that I don't really have to do anything at all?

_m_ 01-31-07, 07:05 PM	:bump: for my girl m ;) Keepin' it alive! *grin* thats so sweet. I was so crushed az didnt meet alvin. it would have be mayhem, but brilliant mayhem at that. u shuda come n played the apl 12 4 person no healer game we did. as for the nature of nothing... its a paradox. [EDIT: im number 1, and number 111. ... i wonder if i was 11.)
RedKnightofKet 01-31-07, 07:09 PM	Unfortunately, m, you're not 11 - clannagh is. But I have no doubt about you being Number 1 ;) How about we get you to be number 1111? Would you like that, hun? :D

Yeah... was only a few thousand racoons short too. Those things are mean.
RedKnightofKet 01-31-07, 07:48 PM	I'm gonna try to be 200, 300, 400, 500,... you get the idea... but I'd like to get you on one side of me, and japangirl on the other :D As for racoons, I encountered some in a recent Furyondy mod I played... what's the big deal with them? This one seemed harmless enough... :) Edit: anybody have any idea what that "&" symbol is from? Don't think I've had that before.... Edit 2: nevermind, it's gone
clannagh 01-31-07, 08:11 PM	as for the nature of nothing... its a paradox. Well some people in philosophy of language claim that sentences that reference non-existant enties are in fact meaningless and have no content. The classic being "Santa Claus does not exist" .. i kinda vaguley remember Saul Kripke discussing thisat one stage years back. Or if you mean nothing in a more ontological sense the mahdyamika have this interesting concept of ultimate void that is some what wittgensteinian whereby if you remove all the illusions (such as the material world) that mask the utlimate reality from us you are left with a meaningless void ... hang on wait .. this is a D&D forum ... of course nothing is not a paradox .. I am sure there is a plane somewhere you can talk to it.
copper_wyrmling 01-31-07, 08:55 PM	*grin* thats so sweet. I was so crushed az didnt meet alvin. it would have be mayhem, but brilliant mayhem at that. u shuda come n played the apl 12 4 person no healer game we did. Ooooh, I love no-healing games! Az is so proud when she can call herself the primary healer (there are people who now shudder in horror at the sound of Az happily calling, "I can heal! See, I have a magic wand!") :weep: But after they made me play that two-rounder at APL 12, I would've levelled if I played anything else with Az, and then I wouldn't be able to meet my friends' crazy dwarves! So many people to meet, so few time units... *kicks restriction on not playing mods if you're more than 3 levels above max APL* Hey m... wanna come play an online game with me?
RedKnightofKet 01-31-07, 09:06 PM	Just a quick note since copper brought up online games: when I get my new computer in the next couple of months, I'm looking to try out the online game goodness... I'll look you guys up when I'm ready. :)

cycloptic_squirrel 01-31-07, 11:23 PM	A new page happened without me?! I feel great shame. :( I'm pretty sure this new page would not have occured without your constant and unwavering efforts. If it made you feel better, I'd give you a medal or something to commemorate your efforts, but you already have that nifty new sig.;)
Japangirl 01-31-07, 11:33 PM	I should probably feel shame this thread is this long. But then, it's fun! Besides, where else can I not do my schoolwork with this much lack of excuses?
cycloptic_squirrel 02-01-07, 12:02 AM	Two people with shame (or who should have shame)?:uh-huh: If I had acess to a happy stick and cure light on my class spell list, I'd beat you both silly. :monk: Can I do it anyway? :angelhide
Japangirl 02-01-07, 01:07 AM	Beatings with happy sticks? Who could possibly refuse?
clannagh 02-01-07, 01:27 AM	Beatings with happy sticks? Who could possibly refuse? an emo vampire ?
cycloptic_squirrel 02-01-07, 02:03 AM	an emo vampire ? 'Why do you want to diminish the abomination that is my undead existance? Although, it would parallel everything else in my (un)life where something good happens to me and it completely destroying me inside and out. Whatever, it's not like you'd listen to me if I told you not to.' is not exactly what I would call a 'refusal'. A related question: what's the stats on the emo template. Is it one of those weird ones that have a CR adjustment of -1?
RedKnightofKet 02-01-07, 09:48 AM	Beatings with happy sticks? Who could possibly refuse? Didn't know you were that kind of girl... what will m say? :teach: :P
Istaran 02-01-07, 04:09 PM	A related question: what's the stats on the emo template. Is it one of those weird ones that have a CR adjustment of -1? Yes, CR is -1. LA is +1 just to give you more things to complain about. Your Cha score is -3 (not reduced by three, it is three less than zero), but the template gives you immunity to unconciousness due to low Cha. This does still give you a Cha modifier of -7. And your will saves are based on Cha, just because the universe hates you. However, you can ignore any compulsions/charm effects that would require you to actually do something; you are permitted to sulk and whine instead. Sulking is a 1 round action (like Summon Monster spells) that provokes attacks of opportunity. Allies that threaten you must make a will save or else take that AoO. DC = 10 + 1/2 your HD - Cha modifier. That comes out to 17 or more. If you're lucky, they might just smack you for nonlethal. You can still cast spells with Cha based spell casting abilities (such as from the Sorcerer class), but they don't do anything, and are as worthless as you are. When you drop to -1 or less HP you are not dying or dead, but are instead Whining. You stand around and complain about why people aren't healing you, but can take no other actions. You cannot be killed, but if no one can percieve you while you are Whining, you fade out of existance and no amount of prayers can convince a god to bring you back.
Japangirl 02-01-07, 05:04 PM	Didn't know you were that kind of girl... what will m say? :teach: :P m will say :w00t: and then :cheer: most likely.
Akhamshyy 02-01-07, 05:28 PM	'peeks out of shadowy corner' Having since crawled in here and found a corner of this thread to curl up in five pages back it's weird to find such an apt template for my avatar just apear like that.

Akhamshyy 02-03-07, 04:08 PM	No, not that kind of club. An after hours club, a comedy club, dinner and a show club, even a gentleman's/lady's club. But not a raving discotech nightclub. At least not today; maybe tomarrow, maybe yesterday, but never, never a nightclub today. To many flashing lights, and inapropriate short skirtage :cheer: I'd have to carry an umbrella just to keep my shadowy darkness. As for music, just press shuffle, or roll dice :D I'm picturing a slim little hole in a wall, complete with a buzzing _m_ neon sign flashing out front.

I feel neglected :weep: *Azrien impatiently oscillates amongst various level-up options while waiting for the LGCS draft* EDIT: Okay, fine, this message became obsolete 2 minutes before it was posted ;) Sorry, it's been a while since I made my rounds.... Page 7, very good. Just a few more and m will be satisfied. Not excited, mind you, but satisfied. Keep up the good work, folks! Page 10, then, the world!! :emp: PS - m is a she.... Alvin is a he, though (I think), hence the confusion.... PS PS - I have corrected my mistake, oh great m! Please forgive me!:bow: :surrender :bigeyes: oh, man, she's gonna turn me into a newt! ...or maybe a dog..... either way, I deserve it :weep:
copper_wyrmling 02-06-07, 08:19 PM	Dude! Make a spot check. :incog: I'm still here in my dark corner. Azrien scurries over to join Akhamshyy in the dark corner: the bright light burns her eyes... :hides: *hides from Radiant Servants and other annoying shiny people*
copper_wyrmling 02-06-07, 08:20 PM	(RedKnight's quote snipped) You said THE WORD! m will be mad! Better edit it before m finds out! But ah good, you fixed it. Let us never speak of it again :shifty: (copper could argue on the topic of m's gender, but decides that this is a subject better left ambiguous...)
Akhamshyy 02-06-07, 08:28 PM	PS - M is a she.... Alvin is a he, though (I think), hence the confusion.... :eek:

_m_ 02-06-07, 11:37 PM	:ahem: ur very lucky you changed it. else there would be much destruction of many things. and my pc is all together now, im typing this on it! and copper darling, we'd NEVER go laking without you. it just wouldnt be the same! and Akhamshyy, you ought to be carefull when hiding in dark corners... you could accidentaly be hiding in alvin... and thats a bad idea. *smile*
RedKnightofKet 02-07-07, 12:03 AM	All better now, yes? <gollum> mistress m happy now? <gollum> :D

Akhamshyy 02-07-07, 12:43 AM	and Akhamshyy, you ought to be carefull when hiding in dark corners... you could accidentaly be hiding in alvin... and thats a bad idea. *smile* How bad could his Charisma be? I mean a Coqui like me needs a high Charisma to take up residence in. :D
copper_wyrmling 02-07-07, 12:45 AM	How bad could his Charisma be? I mean a Coqui like me needs a high Charisma to take up residence in. :D Azrien (Charisma 24) edges away from Akhamshyy, and possibly bumps into Alvin...

clannagh 02-07-07, 12:55 AM	Azrien (Charisma 24) edges away from Akhamshyy, and possibly bumps into Alvin... ooh azrien is VERY pretty as a shadow casting type Alvin's charisma is pretty good .. but I know for sure it aint 24 :)
copper_wyrmling 02-07-07, 01:46 AM	ooh azrien is VERY pretty as a shadow casting type Alvin's charisma is pretty good .. but I know for sure it aint 24 :) It should be 26, but people keep distracting Az with shiny pretties when she's about to get her cloak upgraded ;) And yes, Az is very pretty and sweet and talkative: most GMs aren't surprised by somebody getting 35 on Gather Info checks at APL 12, but they tend to ask for explanations when I note that it's untrained :) Incidentally, Akhamshyy, what's a Coqui? My google-fu identifies it as a small tree frog from South America and the Caribbean, but is there a scary D&D meaning, or does Az just have a cute little tree-frog friend? If the latter... have some prestidigitated froggie treats :cookie:
Japangirl 02-07-07, 02:05 AM	*Fails her spot check* Where did everybody go!? Why am I all alone? *Pulls out two daggers, one shiny and one all black energy* Please come back from wherever you're hiding! I'm all scared and alone now.

Lomiat 02-07-07, 07:38 PM	Antimagic fields are my friend. It's always sneak-attackable, flankable, and otherwise stabbity-able in those. Antimagic Field is my friend. I aim it AROUND myself and let it affect those nasty abilities on the outside while I assume Annis Hag form and beat the silly mindflayer/vampire/beholder to a pulp. I may get my hands dirty, but not quite so dirty as the epidermis of the fallen foe.
copper_wyrmling 02-07-07, 09:39 PM	Antimagic Field is my friend. I aim it AROUND myself and let it affect those nasty abilities on the outside while I assume Annis Hag form and beat the silly mindflayer/vampire/beholder to a pulp. I may get my hands dirty, but not quite so dirty as the epidermis of the fallen foe. Not any more, Lomiat :weep: Az can't be a baby dragon anymore, either! (Az didn't use shapeshifting spells, because she believes the Magic won't recognize her properly if she changes form, but this one time, a nice wizard turned her into a little copper dragon for a while...) And regarding antimagic fields, Az's usual comment is, "Cursed be antimagic fields and all those who employ them to the darkest depths and cruellest torments of the Nine Hells for all eternity" (delivered in a very calm and matter-of-fact tone). Regarding BBEG's, her usual approach is to swoop past them on a 240ft-move flying phantom steed while hurling highly metamagicked scorching rays, orb spells or enervations ;) Az's problem is that she deeply and sincerely believes that the Magic that imbues the universe is an all-powerful force that loves her and will protect her from all harm. (In other words, she thinks there's an overdeity and it's On Her Side.) Thus, there's no need to take any particular precautions, because the Magic will make sure nothing bad happens to her :) Like I said, I'm shocked she's made it this far without a severe worldview readjustment ;)

You just have to smash that jar so that Lomiat can buff him... removing polymorph removes a lot of the fun stuff from the game .. it kina reminds me of when games workshop first started removing more and more of the funky weird spells and abilities and peculiar miniatures and started producing products that were just modern american marines teched up And in D&D it's all to keep a level playing field so the "I - you ... power attack for one million" people can have a warm glow at night safe in the knowledge that god is in his place and mutt fighting rules supreme again :)

I figure Liliana got bored and wandered off, came back, wandered off again, etc. She's got a really short attention span . . . halflings with 8 Wis are like that.

pedr 02-08-07, 08:50 AM	Mr Squirrel, may I enquire something of you? Does having but one eye aid you in your response times and speed of typing? Or is it simply that squirrels have a +4 dex bonus?

That and racial bonuses on climb checks and profession: college campus infestation. The cycloptic template just gives a penalty on depth perception :( .
pedr 02-08-07, 08:59 AM	Our campus has lots of squirrels. They're quite tame, though I think they're all hiding at the moment (or dead; pedr has no ranks in knowledge (rodents) ) as it's very very snowy (well, for England) right now.

Is that the look that's "damn you hippie tree hugging rodent, if I had a rock I'd bean you right now, but I'm in the middle of f*%# lake, so you better pray to whatever demented little squirrel gods that when we get back to shore you can run faster than I can acquire open access to a rock" look, or more of a "I'm pretty sure there's a half eaten bagel on the other side of the boat, and I'd bet no one's even guarding it right now" look? :thinks:
RedKnightofKet 02-09-07, 12:53 AM	Whatever look it'll take to get me some alone time with m... :D And because I don't dislike you, I'll go with the latter, then, if that doesn't work go diving for a rock :P

Japangirl 02-09-07, 01:17 AM	It's ok, Cycloptic Squirrel. If the two of them go off alone, then we two are also alone. That bagel is SOOOOO mine!
cycloptic_squirrel 02-09-07, 01:32 AM	We shall see! :duel: Unless you display any competence at rock throwing of course. Then I guess I'd kinda revert to my standard tactic of running like... well, running like squirrel. Which means that I guess the bagel's yours, unless... :plotting: Look! Adventure access to a ring of blinking! Over there! :shocked: *grabs bagel* Impliment plan delta - 'run like squirrel'!
Japangirl 02-09-07, 02:08 AM	*Uses her halfling throwing bonus to nail your little fluffy ass with a rock* That bagel is mine! I said so, and so it shall be! :king: You weren't serious about the ring of bling :weep: .
cycloptic_squirrel 02-09-07, 02:23 AM	*Uses her halfling throwing bonus to nail your little fluffy ass with a rock* :gah: Ow! :hides: :weep: Oh, I'm sorry. :( :lightbulb If I close and open my eyes real fast you'll be blinking from my frame of reference. :blink: That should work! Since the world kinda revolves around me, it'll eventually conform to my perspective and you'll be blinking! And still have a ring slot open! But the bagel is still mine! :schemes:
Akhamshyy 02-09-07, 02:29 AM	You weren't serious about the ring of bling :weep: . *little white tree frog falls onto Japangirl's shoulder, and starts trilling in her ear* It's Ok there'll be more rings. If I see one that's too shinny I'll give it to you. *finds darkness under collar and falls asleep*
cycloptic_squirrel 02-09-07, 03:09 AM	RedKnight! Unless you want your 'swim' to be interupted by the din of a halfling/squirrel battle royale, I think you better plan on distracting us with more than a half eaten bagel. I would offer to split the bagel, but squirrels don't go to pre-school, thus I've never learned how to share :( , and thus I am overwhelmed by my natural instinct to take things and hide them in secret places. So, your shopping list so far constists of: a half eaten bagel a ring of blinking another half eaten bagel (Japangirl claimed the first and with the ring of blinking, all my squirrely talents cannnot prevent her from obtaining it) I'm not sure what Akhamshyy wants, we'll put him down for a half eaten bagel as well You could try the rock throwing method, but Japangirl throws back, and her aim is quite good (oh the pain!).
Akhamshyy 02-09-07, 03:18 AM	Man glad i don't eat no bread stuff like that. Can't sleep in her collar with all the chirpin' about bagels and such. *nudges deeper into Japangirl's collar and tries to get back to sleep*
cycloptic_squirrel 02-09-07, 03:31 AM	So if Akhamshyy's buried in Japangirl's collar, basically ignoring the world... :plotting: :lightbulb :evillaugh RedKnight! Akhamshyy actually wants two, no three half eaten bagels! And um... cream cheese! Yeah, lots of cream cheese! Otherwise he says he won't give you a moment's peace! He'll never leave you alone! Wait, make that four half eaten bagels! Do you hear me RedKnight! I'm getting bagels, I'm getting bagels, I'm getting bagels... :bounce:
RedKnightofKet 02-09-07, 09:24 AM	No rock throwing at Japangirl - I know how much trouble she can be ;) Ahkam is busy trying to sleep, so he's not an issue. As for you, little squirrel..... would a happier solution for everyone be if I were to throw some half-eaten bagels at you?
Japangirl 02-09-07, 04:23 PM	Yay bagels for everyone! Akham, *pokepoke* oh wait you're asleep. . . . . Ooooh shiny rock . . . *wanders off on the shore of the laking lake*.
Akhamshyy 02-09-07, 07:16 PM	Oww, you finger is bigger than my head. I'm a fine little tree frog here. Why do you think I alway hide in the shadows? Heh, I was havin' a fun dream to. Vecna had walked into Sigil and all the laws of the universe started changin'. Crazy, like druids and clerics had their powers go wonky. Different stuff started popping in and out of existence. Then all the adventurers started raising hell, but it turned into some kind of debate forum. The lady of pain finally came to kick out old V, but I woke up before they got at it. It was weird... *stretches legs out to their full 20mm length before bounding off Japangirl's shoulder*
Japangirl 02-09-07, 07:39 PM	Sowwy, didn't mean to hurt you. Hey!! Where did you go? Oh well, I'll go . . . umm . . . I'll head off somewhere fun with lots of pretty shiny things. Or dark energy things. Or just otherwise valuable things. How on Oerth did your frog self hide from my parrot? He's whining that he's hungry now . . .

Azrien uses Mage Hand to float a bagel over to Japangirl's parrot. "Did you want to go somewhere? We can teleport! Have you been to the Rift Canyon? Morginstaler has shinies. Or Gnome Vale might be pretty..."

RedKnightofKet 02-10-07, 01:22 AM	I've been away from my comp all day... missing the raging debates over the LGCS and I came on before I go to bed - just to read one thread: this one. Foolishness? Vanity? Blatantly trying to earn brownie points with m? You decide :P
Akhamshyy 02-10-07, 10:02 AM	How on Oerth did your frog self hide from my parrot? He's whining that he's hungry now . . . We've spoken. How could I trust you without some info first. The parrot and me; we're cool. Just stop callin' him yours, he rather likes to think of you as his person. Now that squirrel..., can't wrap my head around that one, even though we both like trees. It's fun sitting on your head. it's really soft.
Japangirl 02-10-07, 11:26 AM	He calls me his person? I didn't know that, I can't talk to him, just kind of tell what he's feeling. Nifty. (1 sorc level, only empathic link but no speak with master). Rift Canyon no! Morginstaler hates me! I beat up one of his kids once, and the baby went to whine to daddy and so . . . yeah. Big nasty dragon of doom wants to eat me. Gnome Vale is good though, they give out pretty gems!
cycloptic_squirrel 02-10-07, 11:46 PM	I've been away from my comp all day... missing the raging debates over the LGCS and I came on before I go to bed - just to read one thread: this one. Foolishness? Vanity? Blatantly trying to earn brownie points with m? You decide :P *Pauses a minute from his near constant efforts to jump at the chewy deliciousness floating near the parrot's head* Mmmmm... brownies. Fair warning, if m ever gives you a batch, you might not want to leave them unguarded for too long, otherwise natural instincts might take over and I'm not sure I can be held accountable for what I do. *Jumps at the floating bagel again, falling short by two feet* Akhamshyy, as long as you're offering up rings that are too shiny, I could really use a ring of jumping. Like, right now! *jumps again* DAMN YOU BAGEL! I AM HIGHER IN THE FOOD CHAIN THAN YOU ARE! RESPECT YOUR PLACE IN THE NATURAL ORDER OF THINGS AND STOP YOUR INCESSANT FLOATING SO I CAN EAT YOU!
Akhamshyy 02-10-07, 11:51 PM	Ummm, that ones being used. By, eh my cousin, yeah... *watches gleefully as squirrel tries for bagel* Well I might have one for some of m's 'special' brownies...
_metz_ 02-10-07, 11:57 PM	m you've created a monster. We've discussed this. Bad m!

In the spirit of scientific enquiry, Azrien raises the bagel another foot, then Hastes the squirrel to give it a bonus on Jump checks. Of course, casting Haste causes her to drop the bagel ;) "But Morginstaler is nice, Liliana! Maybe I could persuade him not to eat you? I don't know why he'd want to eat a halfling anyway: flame-grilled Rift dinosaur is yummy. Much nicer than fireball-roasted ice mammoth. Although achaierai is nice too. Have you tried achaierai nuggets? Hmmm..." Akhamshyy, you don't have a rod of wonder do you? Please please?

Of course, casting Haste causes her to drop the bagel ;) *watches in amazement as the bagel obediently drops in front of him* That's better! *voice raises an octave as haste sets in* Now the feast! *proceeds to consume half the bagel in 40 bites over the course of six seconds* That was delicious! Better save some for the winter months! *disappears to the interior of the laking boat, shortly reappears without it and proceeds to run around the edge of the boat a dozen times at blinding speed. On the 10th lap jumps halfway across the ship to land on Japangirl's shoulder* Akhamshyy I'm bored, let's do something! Why are you sleeping again! It's a beautiful day for laking! Don't just lie there, we could do so many things! Play games, sing songs, search for more bagels, run around the boat, tackle the parrot... TACKLE THE PARROT! *jumps at the parrot (who easily sidesteps) and lands in a somersault roll off the edge* SPLASH!

Here, little squirrel, you want some more food?" Azrien holds out some nuts from her bag of trail rations. "Look! Nuts! Just for you!" (Azrien casts a Fly spell and holds the charge, trusting that the squirrel lacks Spellcraft. If a hasted squirrel is amusing, a flying hasted squirrel should be even more so...)
cycloptic_squirrel 02-11-07, 02:31 AM	*climbs out of the water and furiously shakes the water off* Nuts? Yay! *Charges Azrien, climbing up the wizard's leg and out onto the arm holding the nuts and starts gorging* You sure say some strange things Azrien! Let's play a game! How about monopoly or parchisi or shuffleboard or kick the ouphie or cops and robbers or munchkin or marco polo or... *proceeds to list dozens of other 'games'*
Akhamshyy 02-11-07, 10:03 AM	Akhamshyy, you don't have a rod of wonder do you? Please please? Why? Do you want to be the purple wyrmling or something, or do you like butterflies that much?

All nice and good, but my eyes are big, the sun is bright , and I'm nocturnal. Eat your wet bagel chatter away, but let me sleep until it's party time, 9PM-5AM.
RedKnightofKet 02-11-07, 03:56 PM	Come on folks, we're almost at 10 pages - even if the thread has almost become "about" something (namely a bagel), the original intent of the thread is still be followed... come on, folks, the LGCS thread is slowing down - let's make our move to pass them in posts! Charge!! :fight!:
cycloptic_squirrel 02-11-07, 04:33 PM	*still gorging and talking two octives too high with a mouth full of cashews* or risk or strip poker or let's drink what we find under the sink or checkers or who can stare at the sun the longest or rock/paper/sisscors or a staring contest - oooooh! *stops chewing and starts staring really intently at Azrien*
Akhamshyy 02-11-07, 05:02 PM	Now look what you've done. Page 10! I liked page 9, now it's gonna all be different.
Japangirl 02-11-07, 05:40 PM	Let's go and play who can hold a handstand the longest! Can squirrels do handstands? I can! See?
RedKnightofKet 02-11-07, 05:50 PM	*Watching Japangirl do a handstand* :clap: Impressive...;)
Japangirl 02-11-07, 05:56 PM	*Starts and falls on her head* Owww!
copper_wyrmling 02-11-07, 05:56 PM	Azrien surreptitiously casts Fly on herself before doing a "handstand" by flying upside down and putting her hands on the ground. "I bet I can do a handstand for longer than any of you! And we can still do the staring contest, too!" Poor Akhamshyy... would you like to hide in my veil of shadows? It's dark in there...
cycloptic_squirrel 02-11-07, 06:02 PM	*tumbles to the ground as the wizard inverts* Yes! I win the starring... *looks at everyone doing handstands* Uhhh *Furiously tries to remember his jedi training. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to handstands. Handstands leads to bagels....* I want in! *tries several times to do a hand stand but just ends up tumbling end over end... sommersaulting back into the lake... again* Splash!

"It's easy! Just wish to go up!" (Az sneakily cast a Fly spell on the squirrel earlier, she was holding it in the same hand as the nuts.) *the sorceress floats up into the air* "Liliana do you want to fly as well? Everyone should be able to fly! It's so much fun! Can m fly? How about you, RedKnight?"
cycloptic_squirrel 02-11-07, 08:50 PM	*looks a bit unsure at Azrien* (she's a sneaky one!) Well... okay. If I just wish hard enough... *shuts his eyes real tight and crouches low. He holds the springlike coil for a second before releasing in a tremendous jump that reveals itself to be more of rocket launch* Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeee! *and squirrel-like speck fades from sight*

Laking, flying (yes, m can fly), a heroes feast of bagels (with much fighting, naturally), and alone time with cream cheese. :love: for all of you :D and alvin is too pretty to be a wizard too... at least.. he would be... if i could see him...

copper_wyrmling 02-11-07, 10:41 PM	silly Azrien just pop an Otilukes on it I'm sure squirrels have good Reflex saves (catching bagels would be a Reflex save, yes?) ;) And anyway, Azrien doesn't trap people, that would be mean. She may summon writhing tentacles of eldritch darkness that tend to grab people and squeeze them, but it's not her fault if the magic is just a little too friendly sometimes...

Akhamshyy 02-12-07, 12:27 AM	yeah, like where was the brownie I wanted for it? Don't tell me you brought me some of m's 'special brownies while I was up Azrien's shirt asleep. I know you can here me. Coqui can get it up to like 100 decibles.

Pretty spell, Akhamshyy!" (Azrien is looking straight at Akhamshyy as she says this - she can always see invisible unless she's just woken up :) ) "And you don't need the ring, I wouldn't let my friends fall!

Gab, come join!

copper_wyrmling 02-12-07, 02:43 AM	*blink**blink* *reaches into haversack and pulls out a twisted green stick before Azrien reacts* Come on work baby work... *d'oh, wrong one again, again* Azrien hears in head. *Akhamshyy turns blue* *sphere of darkness appears* *fiery pearl wizzes past Azrien's head and blossoms into a ball of flame a few dozen feet away* *Then it happens again* *followed by a lightning bolt that misses* Umm, how do I turn this rod off?!! *rhino appears in the air then plummets* *shoves it back into haversack as hundreds of butterflies emerge from darkness* Ooh! Mine mine! Give! Please? I bet I can make it work! Pretty please? *Azrien featherfalls the rhino*
Akhamshyy 02-12-07, 02:58 AM	Yeah I'd love too, but its still going off. Last time I take a discount from a person who sends me on deadly island adventures. Good catch on the rhino there. *pokes head into haversack and vanishes* *nothing happens* Whoa another bolt! *starts pulling it out as a gust of wind blows it away* Look out below! *cloud of foul looking greenish gas envelopes the falling rod* Oops... It'll run out of charges, right?
cycloptic_squirrel 02-12-07, 03:00 AM	*pauses another minute, quietly thinking aloud* I'm gonna catch Japangirl and I was going to show her something, and I knew what that something was... ooohhh fireworks! Pretty! AAAHHHH! *evades a lightning bolt* Hey a rhino! He's falling! I'll save... nm, it's falling slowly now. Falling gently, into the lake... the lake? that's not right. JAPANGIRL! ALVIN! SOMEONE! RHINO! LAKE! HELP! *goes into nosedive after the beast, although the updraft is proving quite troublesome*
Akhamshyy 02-12-07, 03:15 AM	*lightning bolt flies off in a random direction* Oh wow, look at the time. Is that the sun I see. Time to go; bye... :hides:
cycloptic_squirrel 02-12-07, 03:22 AM	*spectacularly crashes headfirst into rhino, not really fully realizing the subtle difference in speeds of a rhino under feather fall and a meteoric hasted flying squirrel nose dive bombing for top descent speed* SON OF A NUT! *stands on rhino's back ans stumbles around for a bit, holding his head*
Crazy Boro 02-12-07, 02:39 PM	-pulls up a lawn chair on the lakeshore and takes out a pair of binoculars to watch the aerial antics- "Been awhile, but atleast there is a show when I return." :D

cycloptic_squirrel 02-12-07, 11:15 PM	*polymorph (its still in) gold dragon* (Enjoy it while you can) (btw, sry aint bin on all morning, trying to fix my pc :/ ) (Come now! you can't have it both ways! The retraining rules don't go into effect until the weekend. Not six seconds ago, you said you were using polymorph! ;) ) (And now back to your regularly sceduled idiocy) Come on Rhino, move! If you conintue Ahhhhh! *ducks under rhino, narrowly avoiding a huge golden form* *flicker* *tag* *flicker* *is stunned, wide eyed, and hyperventelating. Between the effects of haste, flight, near lightning bolting, and dragon attack, it looks like the little guy's heart is going to explode* OK. I'm not in a dragon's stomach, I'm just under a rhino falling slowly to a watery grave. The dragon didn't eat me, it's just looking at me and grinning. Is that a grin of I played a clever joke or or a cat playing with its food? It's gotta be the former, else I'd be dead. Right? It said I was it. DANGIT! I was just it! Uh... shoot. It or rhino? It or rhino? It or rhino? OK. I'll save the rhino first and tag someone later. *pushes with all his squirrelly might against said rhino. Rhino moves half an inch.* OK rhino. This ain't working. You're going to have to fly, otherwise you'll be sleeping with the fishes. Azrien taught me how. All you got to do is wish hard enough. Come on. Wish! Wish damn you, wish!
cycloptic_squirrel 02-12-07, 11:21 PM	The WizO is coming! The WizO is coming! Everybody look busy! Get the machine that goes "ping"! And focus, people, focus! (I thought the WizO only came for imflamitory threads that meantioned something about billing cabbies. Why anyone would get so upseat about taxi driver financial transactions is beyond me. Then again, they did get 140 or so messages in 24 hours, not as impressive as the draft discussion, but still. Perhaps we could boost our 'ratings' in a similair manner...) Pi is exactly equal to three! (That should do it.) (OK, back to aerial antics.) Come on Rhino! Wish!
bitznarf 02-12-07, 11:24 PM	Pi is exactly equal to three! The funny thing is, this is a law somewhere in the States...
clannagh 02-12-07, 11:27 PM	*alvin, getting jealous of the squirel, *polymorph (its still in) gold dragon* Bad Alvin .. polymorph is for power mongering cheese weasely types now .. dinna ya ken ?
cycloptic_squirrel 02-12-07, 11:29 PM	The funny thing is, this is a law somewhere in the States... (Not is, but almost was. The fact that it was even proposed... wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_Pi_Bill))
Crazy Boro 02-12-07, 11:35 PM	*pulls up a lawn chair with RedKnight, leaning back and watching* *passes over some popcorn* -Looks over from his chair and binoculars- I'll let you borrow a spyglass to watch the fun if I can go sharesies on some of that popcorn. :)
_m_ 02-12-07, 11:44 PM	*hides, so as not to alert the squirel* *casts 'fly' on the rhino* *casts 'dominate monster' on the rhino* "rhino: TAG< YOUR IT LITTLE SQUIRELL!!!" *rhino zips of after the gold dragon (failing abysmally to keep pace)* *alvin shoots of passed japangirl and az, giving telekenetic kisses on the way past, and shouting 'eep! its chasing me!!!'*
cycloptic_squirrel 02-13-07, 12:02 AM	See! I told you you could... Wait! It! No! NOOOOOOO! How does this always happen! I'm comin' for ya! *flys after rhino*
_m_ 02-13-07, 12:28 AM	*casts 'slow' on the squirel* *tells the rhino to stop... and stay 5 feet out of the squirels reach* :D
cycloptic_squirrel 02-13-07, 12:42 AM	*casts 'slow' on the squirel* (Was that slow once to cancel the haste, or did you double cast it to be really cruel? :P ) We'll see how you like being tagged and wow, I feel kinda tired. Still gonna get you, I don't care if you rhinos do outweigh me by a factor of three thousand! *Continues pursuit*
Akhamshyy 02-13-07, 12:50 AM	*peeks out to see if it's safe* *looks up and sees gold dragon and grins while rubbing hands together* I've been waiting so long to use this! *climbs into bag causing a small ruckus then emerges wearing a funky tarnished bronze ring around waist* Haha!

Akhamshyy 02-13-07, 01:03 AM	Wee, I kind a like this body. Hey so I guess I chase you right? *pumps wings and spirals up into sky*
_m_ 02-13-07, 01:05 AM	Hey so I guess I chase you right? 'hehe. yup'
cycloptic_squirrel 02-13-07, 01:09 AM	*slowly chasing rhino* I'm going to... *pauses to reflect, thinking aloud* Wait, OK, I'm not as quick as before, I'm chasing something something three times my size category, there are now two dragons, the halfling's become a gnome, and the wierd stick that Akhamshyy was wrestling with and shot a bolt of lighning at me is escaping, but it could come back... *looks very worried* OK, need to hide! *Looks around furiously and makes for the folds of whatever Azrien's wearing at top speed (which isn't all that fast at the moment)*

Why am I not here! OK, think. If I'm not here, it means I'm somewhere else. But if I were somewhere else, I'd be there. So since I'm not here, but not anywhere else, that must mean I'm... I'm dead. Dead!?!? I can't be dead! What, that evil stick came back and shot lightning at me again? Did I get eaten? There's so much I wanted to do! Wait! If I'm dead... *looks around* OK, I'm not surrounded by half eaten bagels and cashews, so I'm not in squirrely heaven; and I'm not surrounded by lawn mowers and peole with broomsticks, so no squirrely hell. That means... I'm a ghost! I don't want to be a ghost! Ghosts can't eat anything and the bigger ghosts will eat me and clerics will hunt me down and... *looks really worried* Azrien! *hides within Azrien's clothing*
Akhamshyy 02-13-07, 01:48 AM	Hey, where'd the squirrel go? Hmmm :lightbulb *reaches into haversack and pulls out small tin* This should help. just hope its not expired. *opens tin takes out cream and rubs in into eyes* Whoa! it works, I can see so very far... *hovers and look around everywhere, the starts* Uh, um, Ahhhh!! It burns, oh gadzooks it burns! *nose dives towards lake to wash stuff out of eyes*

Please! Come back! Alvin, can you telekinetically grab that rod of wonder for me? Pretty please?" "Sorry-cycloptic-I'm-just-a-little-busy-at-the-moment-but-you're-not-a-ghost-I-promise-and-being-sneaky-and-invisible-is-fun!" (I'm sorry, but rods of wonder even trump dragons...) From inside a capacious pocket in Azrien's coat, a small rat peeks out, rolls its eyes, and chitters sympathetically at the squirrel, gesturing with one paw, "Want to come hide in here?"

You don't look like a ghost. Not ethereal enough. Did the Az make you invisible? She does that to me sometimes." The rat sighs. "Sorcerers, eh?" Meanwhile, Azrien comes to a belated realization... Hey! Alvin can't cast Dominate Monster! That's a hard spell! All the people who could cast it vanished away and don't go adventuring anymore! But... if he's cheating, that means the rules are suspended, so I can cheat! Right! REVERSE GRAVITY! Heeeeeerrrrrrre, pretty-rod-of-wonder... Oooh! Dragons!

Yes, that large speck of reddish wings on the distant horizon... Is an angry Morganstaler. Morgie's coming?! :love: Wonderful! I can show him my new rod of wonder! (I don't think he knows what they are: I was really excited when he offered to show me his, but well, it turned out I'd misunderstood slightly :blush:) Of course, he's angry with me, but I don't think any of you want to be in his way when he arrives. I'm always happy to see Morgie! And I won't get in his way! He likes me, he said I was pretty! EDIT: Actually... can NPCs still Polymorph? If not, Morginstaler's going to be REALLY annoyed, that'll remove his favorite pastime...
cycloptic_squirrel 02-13-07, 11:16 PM	*pokes his head out* What's a Morganstaler? It's not a type of cleric is it? I suddenly have a newfound fear of clerics. (And good luck with the move m!)

LGMoses 02-14-07, 12:28 AM	Say, What happens to stuff you're holding when you get grappled? For instance, if you successfully grapple someone holding a longsword and shield, what happens to his Longsword and shield? What would happen if he had a greatsword? I heard somewhere that you drop ne weapon thats not lite. Is that correct? What about shields?
clannagh 02-14-07, 12:42 AM	Really? *cautiously emerges* So, there's a new playmate coming? yah .. very cute ... with humungous big whirling eyes Say, What happens to stuff you're holding when you get grappled? For instance, if you successfully grapple someone holding a longsword and shield, what happens to his Longsword and shield? What would happen if he had a greatsword? I heard somewhere that you drop ne weapon thats not lite. Is that correct? What about shields? i am pretty sure you are still kinda holding it but cant use it .. presumably the great sword is grasped in one hand and the other is hand is doing the grappling but do not quote me on that :)
Japangirl 02-14-07, 01:52 AM	Uh oh it's a ginormous red dragon coming! RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! *clicks Boots of Speed together and takes off at a fly speed of 90 in the exact opposite direction of what was pointed. Her spot check is too low to actually see the dragon yet*

And either way, Akhamshyy is that way. *points at the tiny bronze dragon holding its claws over its eyes* Akh, I'd help, but I doubt a squirrel spitting in your face would help much. Besides, ghosts can't spit all that well. I'm hungry.
Japangirl 02-14-07, 02:06 PM	The tiny bronze dragon is not scary. Morgie, your "new playmate", is very very scary. Must keep running!
LachlarlanIII 02-14-07, 02:28 PM	The tiny bronze dragon is not scary. Morgie, your "new playmate", is very very scary. Must keep running! From my one and only experience with Morgenstaller I can truthfully say he isn't all that bad. He kept his word and didn't destroy that village or eat any of its residents after all. :D
cycloptic_squirrel 02-14-07, 02:46 PM	The tiny bronze dragon is not scary. Morgie, your "new playmate", is very very scary. Must keep running! Really? *scans the horizon* I think that's him. Doesn't look that scary. Looks more like a speck. Tiny speck. Unless... he doesn't have cleric levels does he? Or more than one? Come to think of it, as a ghost, how much turn resistance do I have? Do I have to worry about splash clerics, or just the radient cheezewheels? The all seem to have too many turn attempts these days... (You removed it before I join in the abuse! Dang you! Dang you all!)
Japangirl 02-14-07, 02:47 PM	He wants to kill me. I beat up his kid, but didn't do him the favor of actually killing it. And he's a big scary dragon of doom, so he can totally kill me if he wants to.

Lomiat 02-14-07, 05:19 PM	I was hoping to use some of you as a distraction in order to buy myself enough time to cast several Quickened and Split Rays of Stupidity at Morganstaler, but it appears Ray of Stupidity stopped functioning. I blame it on Menfri. I don't suggest that there's any reason to blame it on Menfri, but I blame it on him, nonetheless. Given that it seems unlikely I'll now be able to defeat Morganstaler before he kills me, would any of you like a Teleport away? Perhaps the talking squirrel and tree frog would like to play in the Wraithwood. Soon, we should manage to power a link between the forest and our ancestral Sidhee forest... wherever it may be. I believe the pixies and other fey in the Sidhee forest might like to meet a talking squirrel and tree frog. Anyone seen a talking moose? I know the pixies would love to meet a talking squirrel and moose.
LachlarlanIII 02-14-07, 05:23 PM	Anyone seen a talking moose? I know the pixies would love to meet a talking squirrel and moose. I've met a talking rat... He was quite intelligent for his species and went by the name Mr. Whiskers.
Lomiat 02-14-07, 05:39 PM	I've heard of a filthy rogue who managed to coerce a rat into accompanying him as a familiar. Then, he proceeded to spend an entire adventure THROWING HIS RAT FAMILIAR AT THINGS (people and places)! That is no way to treat a familiar! (Is it, Isis?) If you're going to have a familiar attack something, at least instruct it beforehand on how best to avoid the inevitable attack of opportunity at a +35 with an opposed grapple from Improved Grab. (Remember, people, if your familiar dies, YOU suffer!) (No, Isis, that's not the only reason I care for your well-being...) (Honestly...) (What do you see? Has Morganstaler turned away?) (What do you mean you're not certain if it's pertinent information?...)
Akhamshyy 02-14-07, 06:24 PM	OK time to shed this disguise then. *cue angelic chorus, as a halo of radiant light envelopes Akhamshyy* *emerging from the light is a very celestial looking couatl with bronze scales and iridescent plumage* I'll make sure this Morganstaler does no harm to any of you.

Akhamshyy 02-14-07, 07:03 PM	To, play? What you mean... *flash of light and tree frog appears feather falling through sky* Nothin' to see here, move along, no half celestial immigrants from Arcadia, just a tree frog.

Akhamshyy 02-14-07, 10:38 PM	Why does the new dungeonscape book have a beholder on the cover using its rays while its central eye is open? And there is a mage flying right in front of it not falling out of the air? Have the art directors forgotten how things should look? Well I just noticed... *waves* Hey Red

And there is a mage flying right in front of it not falling out of the air? Have the art directors forgotten how things should look? Well I just noticed... *waves* Hey Red It has the Focused Antimagic feat, allowing it to target only one character. Apparently, the beholder determined that the mage wasn't as important a threat as the cleric in possession of a Strand of Prayer Beads.

cycloptic_squirrel 02-15-07, 12:29 AM	morgie just wants to play he is bored .. thats all See Japangirl? He just wants to play. Would Gabby lie to us? He's probably just looking to have some fun.
clannagh 02-15-07, 12:41 AM	See Japangirl? He just wants to play. Would Gabby lie to us? He's probably just looking to have some fun. gabbie is a paladin of Velnius .. she can't lie or velnius will smack her up side of head :)
cycloptic_squirrel 02-15-07, 12:57 AM	gabbie is a paladin of Velnius .. she can't lie or velnius will smack her up side of head :) That might be kinda amusing if I was around to witness it, should it ever occur.
Japangirl 02-15-07, 01:31 AM	See Japangirl? He just wants to play. Would Gabby lie to us? He's probably just looking to have some fun. Yes, yes he would. Anyone would. Everyone always lies to me!
cycloptic_squirrel 02-15-07, 01:54 AM	Yes, yes he would. Anyone would. Everyone always lies to me! :bigeyes: I do? I'm sorrrrrrrrryyyyyyy. But when did I lie to you? :confused: I've made mistakes in my past, so even though I don't remember it, I'm sorry. Please Accept my apology. Please? :( :allalone:
Akhamshyy 02-15-07, 02:10 AM	Everyone always lies to me! Whenever I told you I was a little frog, I was. You're still one of the most comfortable places for me to crash around here. (I just love the inside of your collar) And it would take too long and be too confusing to explain by 'heritage' right. So I'm a little coqui, I like you , I don't lie to you, now make some room 'cus I'm sleepy again.
copper_wyrmling 02-15-07, 06:13 PM	*Azrien turns blue, and leaves begin sprouting from her* "Liliana, if you really really don't want to talk to Morgie, then we can go somewhere else for laking. Perrenland has a lake! Of course, it's frozen - but we could go skating, maybe. Can you skate? Who wants to go skating on Lake Quag? I have enough teleports for everybody!" "Cycloptic, I have a magic wand that can make you not-undead-anymore. Would you like that? And as a bonus, it'll make you invisible so nobody can see you - except me and Irthos of course - and you can sneak around and steal people's bagels! Want me to use it?"
RedKnightofKet 02-15-07, 07:22 PM	Obligatory post #2 I'm all for teleporting, if that's the way to go. Let's just make sure to leave m a note that we've gone to a different lake.... we don't want her to miss out too much.... :)
Japangirl 02-15-07, 08:09 PM	YAY skating! Lets do that, and I bet it's not in territory owned by Iu*erm*Old Wicked so I don't even have to pretend to be a gnome! Ooh ooh i want to be invisable too! Make me all hidey and unseeable too!
cycloptic_squirrel 02-15-07, 08:13 PM	"Cycloptic, I have a magic wand that can make you not-undead-anymore. Would you like that? And as a bonus, it'll make you invisible so nobody can see you - except me and Irthos of course - and you can sneak around and steal people's bagels! Want me to use it?" You could do that!?! :dancin: That would be awsome! Being a ghost sucks. :pbbbtt: You have to worry about clerics and hide from vaccums and you can't eat anything even if you're really hungry. But you can fix that? Will it hurt? It won't make me bald, will it? How long does it take? I'm getting unghosted! :w00t:
copper_wyrmling 02-15-07, 08:41 PM	*A cloud of butterflies swirls around Azrien, and then subsides* "It won't hurt at all! I'll just tap you with this wand..." (Azrien draws a wand - of Endure Elements, actually, but the squirrel doesn't know that - and waves it dramatically.) "Irrecalifrobulos!" (Taps the squirrel, using UMD to activate the wand blindly, just because it lets her use a sillier command word :) ) "There! Did it make you feel warm? If it did, that's how you know it worked! And I know you can't tell the difference, but you're invisible now! Have fun sneaking! And have some more nuts to celebrate being alive again!" *flies over to Liliana and casts Invisibility on her* "Okay, so everyone gather round and hold hands and we'll go to Lake Quag! You're right Liliana, it's not in Old Wicked's territory yet, although we should keep an eye out for the nasty Iggwilvian dread wraiths. And, uh, nobody cast any divination spells while we're there. It's not a good idea, unless you want to see who's on scry-and-die duty in Dorakaa today..."
LGMoses 02-15-07, 10:30 PM	has this turned into one of htose online roleplaying games? MUD's I think they're called. Where is the signup process to create a character?
RedKnightofKet 02-15-07, 10:46 PM	Old Wick? Nah, he's nothing to be worried about.... besides, I claim this lake in the name of Ket!! :D What? *looks around* What?
copper_wyrmling 02-15-07, 11:03 PM	Old Wick? Nah, he's nothing to be worried about.... besides, I claim this lake in the name of Ket!! :D What? *looks around* What? Is that the lake we started at, or the lake we're teleporting to? If the former, well, it's apparently near the Rift Canyon, so it's probably in the BK. Claim away :) If the latter... Azrien looks at you reproachfully and says, "Perrenland is an ALLY of Ket. That said, if you could start clearing the monsters out of the lake, that might be good. Although the druids might get angry." *shudders* "You don't want to make the druids angry..."
cycloptic_squirrel 02-15-07, 11:13 PM	has this turned into one of htose online roleplaying games? MUD's I think they're called. Where is the signup process to create a character? (He's breaking character! Punishment must be swift, otherwise more will follow. BREAK HIS KNEECAPS! Heh heh heh. That should show 'em.) (just be yourself ;) ) Yay nuts! *starts gorging* Thanrthrzzeellwhrgrtewdrignef... herfseddsilt... *swallows* I mean, thanks Azrien, I'm sure glad to not be a ghost anymore! I do feel the warmness you told me about, I can eat again, and I once again have only a slight fear of vacuums, but I still can't see myself. *Looks at an arm, waves it around, then grabs more nuts* I mean, do I have some sort of weird template now? I mean besides cycloptic (worst template ever)? I thought those half templates were only genetic, i.e. a half ghost would require 9 months following a human and a ghost doing R-rated things. Did you say the wand's activation word right? Doesn't weird stuff happen if you don't? *stuffs his mouth with cashews and begins talking while chewing* Azrien, where are we going? Are we going to destroy that lake too? This one seems kinda... empty. *looks down at the depleted lake and then up at the huge mass of water still 'falling' upward, takes huge handfuls of nuts and furiously consumes them* Will there be bunnies? Can we roast marshmallows? Are we going to wait for Morgan-whatshisname? I thought he was coming to play? Won't he be sad if we leave without him? *crams as many many nuts in his mouth as he can, it looks almost more than physically possible* andebentidwebidleaf,erkeit... ckkk... ckk... ckkk *starts holding throat, begins drifting, and making horrible hacking noises*
RedKnightofKet 02-15-07, 11:19 PM	Ally? As in, like, a vassal? Well, if that's the case, that will save us a lot of work... if only more regions were thoughtful enough to just surrender.... I mean, come on Bissel, what's the point?! :P
clannagh 02-15-07, 11:19 PM	*A cloud of butterflies swirls around Azrien, and then subsides* Gabby calls out "OMG a Butterfly Swarm and the colors even clash with your outfit .. look out !!" *swats at butterflies*
copper_wyrmling 02-15-07, 11:20 PM	[SIZE="4"]I mean, thanks Azrien, I'm sure glad to not be a ghost anymore! I do feel the warmness you told me about, I can eat again, and I once again have only a slight fear of vacuums, but I still can't see myself. That's because you're invisible! You need to learn magic, then you can cast a spell so you can see invisible things! That's why I can see you - nobody else can, though. The invisibility will wear off in a few minutes though - but don't you like it? :weep: You should try to learn to cast spells! It's so much fun! Can squirrels be sorcerers? Can you read? If you can read, maybe you can be a wizard, if you can't be a sorcerer. Wizards are fun too. Azrien, where are we going? To Perrenland! Where I come from! Well, actually not quite where I come from, I'm a Sepia Uplander, but the Uplands got annexed by Perrenland, so... I guess I'm a Perrender, sort of :( Are we going to destroy that lake too? This one seems kinda... empty. *looks down at the depleted lake and then up at the huge mass of water still 'falling' upward, Ohhhhh. I kinda forgot about that. *glances up at the watery mass* Uh, yeah. Let's do that teleport sooner rather than later. Are we going to wait for Morgan-whatshisname? I thought he was coming to play? Won't he be sad if we leave without him? :weep: Liliana doesn't want to play with Morgie! She thinks he's going to eat her for some reason. Although, I do have to admit... well... he has a lot of kids to feed... But no, I'll go visit Morgie another time. You can come if you want. He likes me, and I could introduce you. Have you ever been teleported before? That's fun, too!
copper_wyrmling 02-15-07, 11:24 PM	Ally? As in, like, a vassal? Well, if that's the case, that will save us a lot of work... if only more regions were thoughtful enough to just surrender.... I mean, come on Bissel, what's the point?! :P "Wait? Ket! Hey, I was THERE when your people attacked Thornward! The Bissel people are so SILLY! I mean, honestly, Evard's Black Tentacles is just the most wonderful spell against Kettite horse cavalry. It breaks charges, and the poor horsies don't grapple very well. But just because Evard used it a lot, they got all upset at me for casting it..." *grumbles about the Nightwatch* "And as for Perrenland, we were going to ally with Tusmit and conquer Ket - at least I think that was the plan, it was a few years ago - but then the Iuzians invaded, so now we're all good friends. It's called the Alliance of Faith, or something like that. Basically, we let you use the trade routes through the Khund caverns, and you send cavalry to help us fight Old Wicked..."
cycloptic_squirrel 02-15-07, 11:34 PM	*slowly rotates head over heels, continues choking*
Akhamshyy 02-15-07, 11:39 PM	What? That frozen lake. No, no ,no. I like it like the tropics. I'll just do some redecorating, I've this crazy old scroll with some kind of fireball spell called thermonuclear something or other in baklunish. Be right back! *vanishes* *reappears, smoking just a little* Whoo! That was some wicked old magic! Cleared about a mile of ice from the middle there. It should still be warm for, like, a day or two. Come on, I pulled out my folding boat it's there waiting. *vanishes* *reappears* I'm bring you with me, I'm still sleepy. *perches on Japangirl's shoulder and teleports with her*
copper_wyrmling 02-15-07, 11:39 PM	*slowly rotates head over heels, continues choking* "Uh. Uh. Is anyone a cleric? Or a druid? We have a choking invisible squirrel here..." (Azrien attempts ineffectually to help the choking squirrel)
clannagh 02-15-07, 11:42 PM	"Uh. Uh. Is anyone a cleric? Or a druid? We have a choking invisible squirrel here..." (Azrien attempts ineffectually to help the choking squirrel) gabby can lay on hands but maybe holding it upside by the legs and smacking it on the back will work better
copper_wyrmling 02-15-07, 11:48 PM	gabby can lay on hands but maybe holding it upside by the legs and smacking it on the back will work better *Azrien attempts to follow Gabby's instructions, insofar as this is possible for somebody with a -1 Heal check* "Maybe... is the problem too many nuts? Open your mouth, little squirrel! I can try to Disintegrate the nuts..."
cycloptic_squirrel 02-15-07, 11:56 PM	*Azrien attempts to follow Gabby's instructions, insofar as this is possible for somebody with a -1 Heal check* *nuts spew as the tree-rodent is beaten by the pretty sorceress* *continues to choke* "Maybe... is the problem too many nuts?

copper_wyrmling 02-16-07, 12:01 AM	*nuts spew as the tree-rodent is beaten by the pretty sorceress* *continues to choke* *looks at Azrien and opens mouth really wide* *starts to go blue* "I've never tried this before..." Azrien takes a deep breath, casts Guided Shot for good luck, and fires a thin green ray into the mass of half-chewed cashews... Not the squirrel! Not the squirrel! Just the nuts!
cycloptic_squirrel 02-16-07, 12:13 AM	you dont have a ring of water breathing on you do you little squirrel ? *arches an eyebrow, as if to say, 'I'm a squirrel. I'm not even sure if I know what that is.* (The problem is, having only one eye causes raising one eyebrow to look much more like raising two eyebrows and comes accross more along the lines of, 'Yes! Yes I do! I swear! Whatever it is that you want, I have it! I'll do anything you tell me to! Please? Help?' *turns a shade deeper*

copper_wyrmling 02-16-07, 12:26 AM	If you could polymorph the squirrel into a nice shrubbery it will not need to breathe .. and it will also be decorative and functional and co-ordinate nicely with the decor. Polymorph? :shifty: No, never heard of it. Never, I say! (The 597 LGCS is now legal. Farewell, copper dragon form...)
Akhamshyy 02-16-07, 12:31 AM	*climbs out shoveling bits of stuff to clear the squirrel's throat* that should do it! (No copper dragon? They didn't remove untiered encounters, did they? I like being around.)

Besides, this persona wouldn't be easy to divest from ;)

That's okay, it would just add another layer of angst and insanity to Azrien's already fractured mind ;) But she would've had to miss to hit you, and that's a 1/400 chance :P The Az does not miss! (except, sigh, when she rolls two nat 1's in the same day, which has actually happened...) I don't suppose you're going to DDXP this weekend, cycloptic?
Akhamshyy 02-16-07, 01:06 AM	OK, cakes and cookies on the lake now? Everybody! ... I'm out of teleports...
clannagh 02-16-07, 01:16 AM	(You probably hit some barely sentient cashews instead of the wad of chewed foodstuff. That poor cashew.

Are you suggesting that I am not decorative and go nicely with the decor? :( *looks around* *looks around again* *makes for the pouch where Azrien keeps her supply of nuts* I don't suppose you're going to DDXP this weekend, cycloptic? (Nar, although I wish I were, it sounds like a blast. Why? Are you lucky enough to attend?)

Are you suggesting that I am not decorative and go nicely with the decor? :( *looks around* *looks around again* *makes for the pouch where Azrien keeps her supply of nuts* "No more nuts for you, little squirrel." (Azrien assumes an expression that is probably intended to look stern, but fails dismally due to lack of experience.) "Firing disintegrate spells down people's throats is something I normally do to monsters, not friends. Let's go down and have cakes and cookies with Akhamshyy!" *idly prestidigitates herself dry, and smooths down cycloptic's tail, while small gemstones pop out of the air and float down towards the lake* (Nar, although I wish I were, it sounds like a blast. Why? Are you lucky enough to attend?) (Yeah, I'm going down for the Special and the Fiesta slot on Saturday. Britt is going to introduce Azrien to the Madhouse :cloud9:)
cycloptic_squirrel 02-16-07, 03:39 AM	(Que up sympathy move) *settles into a sitting position in midair, opens his one eye really wide, and a slight pout plays across his face* *looks at Azrien with all the cuteness he can muster* But... please? Nuts are delicious. *lower lip quivers a bit* All I want is something to eat... Besides, I don't see any cookies and cakes down there. Akhamshyy said something about being out of teleports, which if I'm remembering correctly is a type pastry, which is why there are only cookies and cakes. Then again, he made Japangirl disappear. *thinks hard* Oh, I get it. The cookies and cakes are invisible, so I can't see them, but Akhamshyy made Japangirl invisible so she could enjoy the food, and that's why he kept popping in and out of view because he was preparing an invisible meal, and you have to be invisible to do that. And since we're invisible too, that means we can go down and enjoy the cookies and cakes too! Right? *looks questioningly at Azrien* Akhamshyy, I'm not sure why you went to all the trouble of an invisible feast, but it sure sounds classy! *looks at the pouch containing the nuts* (Yeah, I'm going down for the Special and the Fiesta slot on Saturday. Britt is going to introduce Azrien to the Madhouse :cloud9:) (I thought it was agreed that Britt is actually a computer subroutine of extraordinary capabilities and that the person at DDXP is an actor portraying him? :confused: Not that I'm incredibly jealous. I'm going to have to get me to an IUZ region at some point and make someone run that for me. I might be able to make it happen in MN; we'll see.)
Japangirl 02-16-07, 01:55 PM	There's a whole feast just for me! Mmm yumyumyum. Where is everyone? *Mmph* You should really come and enjoy the cookies and cakes and tastiness . . . Guys? Guys? I'm the only invisible one right? I got teleported here (I think it was a teleport, I mean I was one place and then another place and I think I'm all alone now and . . . oh well I have food).
LachlarlanIII 02-16-07, 02:42 PM	*casts See Invisibility* *see's Japangirl stuffing her face with cakes and cookies* *begin's stuffing the feast of heroes into his Bag of Holding*

Crazy Boro 02-16-07, 02:54 PM	What the? :confused: *gets up from his chair to see what's up* *gets to within 30'* Ooo..... Cake! :) Save some for the rest of us. *begins eating messily with his 50% miss chance from blindsense*
cycloptic_squirrel 02-16-07, 02:57 PM	*looks at Azrien meekly* I get the impression other people are eating while I am not. Hungrrrryyyy.... *holds stomach while rotating like a ferris wheel* Nuts? Please?
LachlarlanIII 02-16-07, 03:02 PM	No See Invis for you, it's a divination spell! We're in Perrenland now. I love Perrenland! We're in Perrenland now?! :eek: When did that happen? *casts Invisibility Purge instead* *does the other stuff he said he was doing*
Crazy Boro 02-16-07, 03:09 PM	*looks down at the mess he's made of himself now that its visible and begins to lick his fingers* Look Mr. Squirrel! Foodies for all! So where are we now? I don't think I've been in Perrenland before... but I could've been with those party black-outs. They don't hate gnomes here do they?
copper_wyrmling 02-16-07, 03:19 PM	*looks at Azrien meekly* I get the impression other people are eating while I am not. Hungrrrryyyy.... *holds stomach while rotating like a ferris wheel* Nuts? Please? *Azrien pats the squirrel, then flies down and reaches out to Akhamshyy, and anyone else who is still at the soon-to-be-Morginstaler'ed lake* "See, this is why sorcerers are more fun than wizards. I still have teleports left." POP! *waving happily to Liliana* "There! Welcome to Perrenland! And look! Free food! But be careful! No choking yourself again..."
cycloptic_squirrel 02-16-07, 03:42 PM	And look! Free food! *makes it to the table in a single bound* But be careful! *stuffs his face with a muffin the size of his little squirrely fist* No choking yourself again..." *looks at Azrien and furiously nods his head, which has almost doubled in width due to filled cheeks* *and the gorging continues* I like Perrenland! Is it all this delicious? *grabs ginormous cookie* Or is this just what happens when you teleport. *tries to cram entire cookie into mouth, but is thwarted by the fact that it's three inches wider than his mouth* Ohhhh. *tries again with the cramming* Blast you tasty treat! You will obey my wishes! *performs a power-cram, which is kinda like a body slam, only more akin to a giant cookie moving at high velocity towards the pie-hole of a very foolish squirrel* *cookie pops in, but intact*
Akhamshyy 02-16-07, 05:10 PM	Ahh, back at last. Now for some chocolate covered fire ants. Enjoy the dinner cruise. I'll put up an alarm spell so just wake me if ya hear any ringing, *YAWN* Sleepy... *hops over to Japangirl, tilts head and look up with big sleepy eyes*
Japangirl 02-16-07, 05:55 PM	*reaches down to the tiny frog and puts him in her collar* Now now Mr. Parrot, no eating my new friend. He makes me invisible and has a pretty staff of random magic and takes me places. Do we have to wait one hour after eating to do more laking?
Lomiat 02-16-07, 06:45 PM	I suppose the least I can do in repayment for some of this cake is offer a bottle of elven wine to the party. ....Let's see... (reaches deep into bag)... Ah! CY299. An excellent year for light reds. Enjoy.
RedKnightofKet 02-16-07, 11:52 PM	Ah, Perrenland.... aka Ket Deep South..... not bad, not bad at all....
Japangirl 02-16-07, 11:58 PM	Bah, Ket. Is Ket the place you are not allowed to kill people in? I do not think I want to go there . . . or is that Keoland? Killing people is fun and profit!
Akhamshyy 02-17-07, 12:07 AM	*stretch, snuggle, snuggle* (in sleepy voice)No, keoish are fine with physical violence, just leave the soul alone, and try not to use magic... *yawns* Smack someone with a gauntlet it Ket and you can go to jail... And never hurt the horsies...there..nice.. *snores*
RedKnightofKet 02-17-07, 10:37 AM	Killing someone should be against the law.... and horses are valuable contributors to Ket... unlike those useless elves :P You can kill elves if you like - just make sure they don't belong to anybody first......
Japangirl 02-17-07, 12:14 PM	Right. So thinaun weapons in Keoland and killing horses in Ket. Got it. :D. EDIT: Oh yeah, and helping nice little old Elvish ladies across the street in Ket too.
Akhamshyy 02-17-07, 12:20 PM	Right. So thinaun weapons in Keoland and killing horses in Ket. Got it. :D. EDIT: Oh yeah, and helping nice little old Elvish ladies across the street in Ket too. Don't forget to run into the main street of some keoish city, invisible, screaming and casting crazy illusion spells. (Happened after a well timed confusion hit after a fear effect)

Prepare to be my slave for a week, Knight, and we'll see how you like it.
Japangirl 02-17-07, 01:31 PM	Slaves are profitable . . . not that I, or anyone I know, has ever sold some poor recently-rescued peasants back into slavery . . . that would be horrible . . .
RedKnightofKet 02-17-07, 03:35 PM	Well, to clarify the whole "ownership of an elf" kind of thing, it's usually that the elf belongs to the Ket military, and that is of their own choice. If they wish to contribute to the greater good of the nation by serving in the military, they can earn the right to be a "person" under the law, and hence, killing them would actually be a crime. About on par with killing a horse, I believe. That's some valuable property. :D An elf can choose not be "owned", but they need to be aware that they are then considered a monster, and are not protected under the law. Slavery is such a harsh word.... suitable only for the most hardened of criminals, and even then, working in the mines whilst subdued by medication is a perfectly reasonable punishment for heinous crimes.

Oh, dear! All these subtleties, Sir Knight, and I am so very, very poor with words. Perhaps you could accompany me to the Wraithwood and help me explain all these matters in your own words to my brethren of the Sidhee. Once you explain everything to them, I am QUITE certain they'll understand your position much more clearly than if I had to relate it myself. Many thanks.
RedKnightofKet 02-17-07, 08:15 PM	Nah, I'm good.... Besides, I personally don't have any problems with elves... just don't break the law, and I won't have any reason to go after you. :D
Lomiat 02-17-07, 08:39 PM	Whose law? Yours? That of Greyhawk? Dyvers? Iuz? I tend to find myself "bound" by a new set of laws every other week. But, here.... as I live according to certain principles, including courtesy, allow me to fill your wine glass. Or, if you don't trust me, I'll fill two, and you take your pick. I'll drink the other. To courtesy... and the respect of individual liberty.
RedKnightofKet 02-17-07, 11:45 PM	I meant the laws of Ket, so, yeah, all those places are (or soon will be) vassal states. And generally the laws are to keep order - no stealing, no assault, no murder, and definitely no horse-theft....oh, and no impersonating a Mullah, the Beygraf, Threshers, what have you.... just leave your hat of disguise at home, if you have one... As for the wine, I'll gladly take a drink. I'm trusting like that :D (and have a pretty good fort save, just in case :P)
CrystalBlue 02-19-07, 01:25 PM	Ket is naughty. I hope one day to go there and right the wrongs of elf oppresion. You bad...bad...naughty, evil people! Putting horses before elves... *shakes head* I'm ashamed to call most of my characters humans. That's why I'm glad I have elves in Highfolk! Elf territory. *murs and cuddles* Now if we can just get rid of all those nasty dwarves and humans that are lousing the place up...
Akhamshyy 02-19-07, 03:10 PM	I'm ashamed to call most of my characters humans. That's why I'm glad I have elves in Highfolk! Elf territory. *murs and cuddles* Now if we can just get rid of all those nasty dwarves and humans that are lousing the place up... It's really the elves who need to step up. Come on, the humans multiply like bunnies, the dwarfs fill their holds. Even sleeping dragons and prudish celestials have more babies than elves. What'll the elven states look like in the next few millennia? Half elves (despite what the meta-game may say) look to be way better than either species they descend from. That may be the only glimmer of hope in the distant future for elves. When they lose their states, the homogenous peoples there will still have a legacy of elven blood.
cycloptic_squirrel 02-19-07, 03:45 PM	*follows the conversation wide eyed, glancing from one speaker to the other* *tries to clear his voice, which proves unsuccessful, in large part due to the fully intact cookie still filling his cheeks* Imm Eeoann uuu annn... *gives a look of frustration and starts to pantomime something that the squirrel intends to be "Keoland's great, just don't hurt nobles, use obvious magic, or get caught using necromancy." but due to low ranks in perform comes out more along the lines of "In high ranger's backyard, don't eat the chili, otherwise the curses contained within will cause exccessive chest hair removal."*
Akhamshyy 02-19-07, 03:54 PM	"In high ranger's backyard, don't eat the chili, otherwise the curses contained within will cause exccessive chest hair removal."* :blink: What? The high ranger's backyard barbeques rock! And his chili will grow hair on your chest. Silly squirrel. Here, just have some cookies. :cookie:
cycloptic_squirrel 02-19-07, 04:15 PM	Silly squirrel. Here, just have some cookies. :cookie: *takes cookie from the tiny frog with a grateful bow, proceeds to try and fit another cookie into his mouth, despite his mouth obviously being completely filled with the first cookie* *fails, obviously* eeoooo. *attempts again, this time rotating the cookie so as to atempt at several different angles* *fails again, to no one's suprise* AAAMMM UUHH EEIIUISOUSS OOKIIEE! UUHH IIIL EEEH IIIGH IIII EEELI! *proceeds to initiate second power cram of the banquet* *short rough grating noise* *and despite not being possible, there are now two cookies in the squirrels mouth*
RedKnightofKet 02-19-07, 04:17 PM	mmmm Chili.... I'm having chili for dinner..... ...nothing more to contribute, just wanted to pop up and say something...
cycloptic_squirrel 02-19-07, 04:33 PM	...nothing more to contribute, just wanted to pop up and say something... *pantomimes again, mouth full of cookies, this time the intent is "you think any of us have anything worthwile to contribute?" but comes out more along the lines of "I could've been a lawn sprinkler if I had continued my grammer studies."*
Akhamshyy 02-19-07, 04:43 PM	You need this, really bad. *hands squirrel tall glass of cold milk* Go on now drink up.
cycloptic_squirrel 02-19-07, 05:41 PM	*lifts himself to rim of glass, tries to fit head in to drink, but discovers his cookie-stuffed cheeks are too big for the glass* *scowls at glass* *smiles (or at least tries to), flys up and dives down, performing a never before seen version of the power-cram, namely the high velocity meeting of a dive bombing squirrel and a glass full of milk* *disappears into milk, glass rotates, flips end over end (spilling everywhere), and lands upside down with a milk-soaked squirrel inside* *cheeks visably reduce as the squirrel under glass chews for many minutes, swallowing several times* You have really good cookies, Akhamshyy! *licks inside of glass* Really good milk, too! What is this? 8%? *continues to lick interior of glass*
Japangirl 02-19-07, 07:26 PM	Silly squirrel, lawn sprinklers don't talk! Why do you need grammar classes?
cycloptic_squirrel 02-19-07, 07:52 PM	Silly squirrel, lawn sprinklers don't talk! Why do you need grammar classes? *stops licking glass* What? Why would they? And I don't need grammer classes! My grammer is well enough as is! Hey Akhamshyy, you have any more milk? *resumes 'cleaning' the interior of the overturned glass*
Akhamshyy 02-19-07, 11:43 PM	*Pushes over another glass of milk* It's 2% baby, and try using this. *hands squirrel a straw* *stops and thinks...takes straw back* Let me show you. *demonstrates how to use the straw* There, get to it and enjoy.:D
cycloptic_squirrel 02-20-07, 02:04 AM	*watches straw demonstration intently* Oh, I can do that! Gimmie! *pushes against glass* *glass stays solidly upside down* Huh. Ummm... leverage! I just need a good position to push from! *braces himself and pushes, forelimbs pushing on one side with hindlegs bracing against the opposite side of the glass; needless to say, it fails* Grrrrr. Stupid glass! I rage! Grrrrr! I SMASH PUNY GLASS PRISON! *proceeds to pound tiny fists against glass, tiring after 4-5 seconds* Right. I don't actually have that class feature. *stares forelornly at the straw and full glass of milk :( *
Akhamshyy 02-20-07, 02:22 AM	*slaps forehead* *crawls into haversack and gets ring of telekinesis* Don't worry I'll lift ya out. *holds out hand and focuses on lifting as the squirrel rises out of the empty glass and is deposited in front of the full glass* Better now? *puts ring back in haversack, and bounds away for a nap*
cycloptic_squirrel 02-20-07, 02:45 AM	Yay! Thanks! *grabs staw, inserts into milk, starts drinking heavily*
Japangirl 02-20-07, 02:10 PM	*Halfling walks over, casually swipes milk, and stares at the squirrel to see what it will do . . .* What? I'm finally bigger than somebody! :D
cycloptic_squirrel 02-20-07, 02:49 PM	*tears start to well up* but you have your own... oh, you didn't. *smiles* Try it! Akhamshyy says it's only 2%, but it tastes more like half and half. Absolutely divine! You'll like it! Oh, but apparently you'll need a straw, otherwise bad thngs happen. *jumps across the table at a loaf of raisin bread, snatching it in a flying tackle; resumes eating*
Japangirl 02-20-07, 02:58 PM	*Giggle* really? Here, you use the straw and I'll sip it, then we can share and both have some! And look, more cookies!
cycloptic_squirrel 02-20-07, 03:39 PM	*Giggle* really? Here, you use the straw and I'll sip it, then we can share and both have some! And look, more cookies! Yay! Sharing is fun! *grabs cookie actually appropriately sized for a squirrel* Everyone's happy when we all get along! *drinks some milk* *waits for something interesting to happen*
cycloptic_squirrel 02-20-07, 05:07 PM	*blinks* *looks around*
Akhamshyy 02-20-07, 05:32 PM	I could modify the pavilion of grandeur spell to include a show but then it wouldn't fit on my boat right. I rather though you'd like the open cruise in comfort thing better. :lightbulb *little frog gesticulates wildly* *gorgeous elven woman with a serpents body instead of legs and colorful feathered wings appears over the dinner party* Please play us a song beautiful one. *Lillend begins singing and playing harp* There. Dinner and a show.
cycloptic_squirrel 02-20-07, 05:51 PM	Ohhh! *starts bouncing up and down* Do you take requests?
copper_wyrmling 02-20-07, 06:22 PM	There is a flash of rainbow light off to the east, and Azrien reappears, floating in the air with a preoccupied look on her face. She looks... different. The color of her eyes is constantly changing, from their usual intense turquoise through glowing purple, blazing white and gleaming molten-brass, and a flickering, colorless glow seems to surround her. For those with keen vision, she is wearing a new earring, shaped like the rune of insanity. Her fingers flex involuntarily, nervously, and the air seems to ripple and warp around her gloved hands. "Ah! The squirrel! And Liliana! And the little celestial frog, and the Kettite! Still here? Good, good. Hmmm. And a new friend, I see?" Her voice seems more sharp-edged than before, and there is an odd echo to it. "Hmmm. No demons yet? No scry-and-fry teams from Dorakaa? Good, good. Hmmm." Azrien floats over to the boat and seats herself. After a moment, she pulls a finely-made flute from her bag and begins to softly accompany the lillend. The music seems to calm her a little, she seems less... twitchy. (OOC: Azrien just came back from the Madhouse. It talked to her, and told her she was a god :eek: I'm still sorting out all the psychological repercussions of her experiences there... ;) )
RedKnightofKet 02-20-07, 06:32 PM	There, there, Az... I, too, have been to the Madhouse...have you ever seen a Dire Wolverine use a skull as a puppet? I have.... :crazy:
copper_wyrmling 02-20-07, 06:44 PM	There, there, Az... I, too, have been to the Madhouse...have you ever seen a Dire Wolverine use a skull as a puppet? I have.... :crazy: "Huh? Hmmm? No, no, not as yet. No. I've played cards with a pit fiend, though. You? Hmmm. He didn't play very well. And hmmm, have you watched a dire bear dancing? Most interesting. Hmmm." *As soon as she stops playing the flute, Az's fingers begin to twitch again*
clannagh 02-20-07, 06:53 PM	"Huh? Hmmm? No, no, not as yet. No. I've played cards with a pit fiend, though. You? Hmmm. He didn't play very well. And hmmm, have you watched a dire bear dancing?

cycloptic_squirrel 02-20-07, 07:15 PM	*As soon as she stops playing the flute, Az's fingers begin to twitch again* *stops his inscessant jumping and accompaning requests for Mr. Roboto and thinks softly outloud* Azrien seems kinda twitchy. I should get her something to calm her nerves. Something to settle her down. *scans the banquet table and rolls a one on his knowledge: highly caffinated beverages check* Of course! Expresso will calm her right down! *bounds over to the expresso machine* *stares in puzzlement for a moment before rolling a natural 20 in knowledge:things squirrels were not meant to know, and proceeds work the expresso machine like a pro* That's it? There's not that much in that tiny cup! *grabs mug* *proceeds to fill it to the brim* That's better! *lifts mug and staggers over to Arien* Azrien! I made you something to help you relax. It's soothing like hot chocholate, only it works much faster. *places the mug in front of the sorceress and waits expectantly*
Akhamshyy 02-20-07, 07:28 PM	Ah, ah, ah. *stops squirrel* You forgot the whipped cream and cherry. *adds a dolop of whipped cream and a cherry to the mug* There you go!
cycloptic_squirrel 02-20-07, 07:34 PM	Thanks Akhamshyy! I had a feeling something wasn't right. Together, we'll have Azrien feeling normal in no time!
clannagh 02-20-07, 08:08 PM	Thanks Akhamshyy! I had a feeling something wasn't right. Together, we'll have Azrien feeling normal in no time! ummh .. wouldnt "feeling normal" be an unusual experience for Azrien ?
Japangirl 02-20-07, 08:32 PM	Normal for Azrien, so slightly off kilter from the rest of the world but not completely brain-circuits fried?
copper_wyrmling 02-21-07, 12:22 AM	"Hmmm. Chocolate? Thank you. Hmmm." Azrien takes the mug and drinks. Nothing seems to happen, immediately. Her hands stop twitching. In fact, she seems to be sitting very, very still. Then she blinks rapidly - with eyes that are now a fiery white, from edge to edge - and puts her hand down on the side of the boat, as if seeking support. An eerie green light suffuses her hand and wrist, and it spreads outwards from her fingers. Where it touches, the wood immediately disintegrates into dust...
Akhamshyy 02-21-07, 01:19 AM	:ahem: Please stop that. I can only do so much and if you sink my boat I may have to move the party quite suddenly. Who knows if I'll be able to bring you along, little miss disintegrate. Now stop playing, and enjoy the meal, after an hour you'll be immune to the caffeine effects, trust me.
CrystalBlue 02-21-07, 01:14 PM	*pats the little squirl on the head and sighs* Silly little furry thing...caffine is bad for you. You shouldn't give it to anyone...unless they need to stay up and write a very long report. *picks the furry little rodent up and puts him on his head, sitting down* Now see what you've done? She's turning everything into non-existance. If this keeps up, she may even get to the milk and cookies...and then where will you be? Hmmm?
cycloptic_squirrel 02-21-07, 02:22 PM	*crouches on his new position* Azrien? *stares wide-eyed at the developments and looks down bemeath him* Hot chocolate has so little caffine in it, it shouldn'tbe a problem, besides, it worked for a bit. Then she started losing it. I know! *grabs cookie* Azrien! Snap out of it! *throws cookie at the sorceress*
LGMoses 02-21-07, 10:34 PM	Has anyone seen m? I haven't noticed ne new posts from her in a while? Nebody know whats up? I'm just a fan.
copper_wyrmling 02-21-07, 11:37 PM	*crouches on his new position* Azrien? *stares wide-eyed at the developments and looks down bemeath him* Hot chocolate has so little caffine in it, it shouldn'tbe a problem, besides, it worked for a bit. Then she started losing it. I know! *grabs cookie* Azrien! Snap out of it! *throws cookie at the sorceress* The cookie abruptly changes direction mid-air and shoots towards Liliana. Azrien doesn't seem to notice it. She snatches her hand off the boat, and four rays of fire leap from her fingertips, narrowly missing the lillend. For just an instant, she looks angry, upset, dismayed - and then she smiles brilliantly. Then she vanishes, in a flash of rainbow light. (Az has popped down to the lands of the Scarlet Brotherhood to work off her caffeine-fuelled surge of uncontrollable magical energy. She'll be back later ;) )
Akhamshyy 02-21-07, 11:38 PM	The last thing m said she was relocating and would be without internet access for a week or two. In the mean time we're keeping this thread alive.
Japangirl 02-21-07, 11:43 PM	COOKIE! *easily stands up and does backflips over the squirrel to grab the cookie* Don't waste these, silly cycloptic squirrel! They're tasty. *Hands cookie back to the squirrel*
clannagh 02-21-07, 11:52 PM	The last thing m said she was relocating and would be without internet access for a week or two. In the mean time we're keeping this thread alive. _m_ not so much lacks internet access .... more lacks an operational PC being missing a monitor at present

Akhamshyy 02-22-07, 12:37 AM	_m_ not so much lacks internet access .... more lacks an operational PC being missing a monitor at present :rolleyes: How is that any different from being without access for now. Does she have any other means to get on? Or friends who could've lent her a monitor? I mean I can't do without a screen, but I have people to help me out. What's up down there? Makes me want to try sending her a spare from around here. Only logistics stands in the way...
cycloptic_squirrel 02-22-07, 04:21 AM	COOKIE! *easily stands up and does backflips over the squirrel to grab the cookie* Don't waste these, silly cycloptic squirrel! They're tasty. *Hands cookie back to the squirrel* Mmm, cookie. *snatches profered cookie and nibbles* It wasn't a waste. See? Azrien calmed down and went invisable, and she's behaving herself quite nicely, right Azrien? Right? OK, so she's being a little rude, but that far better than boat disintegration. (And for note, you don't actually need a monitor, unless of course you're not an incredably good guesser.)
Akhamshyy 02-22-07, 09:36 AM	Silly squirrel, if you're going to go around life with one eye you should at least see things as they truly are. *pulls a tiny gem set into a monocle frame on a loop of gold chain out of his haversack* If you ever question what you see or the manner you are seeing it, put this up to your eye and the truth will be revealed. Don't be surprised if the mage isn't here. But, if you see any ghostly things, that aren't there when you don't look through the gem. Let us know.
RedKnightofKet 02-22-07, 06:34 PM	We all miss m, but hopefully we'll see her back on sooner rather than later :)
cycloptic_squirrel 02-23-07, 01:44 AM	*pulls a tiny gem set into a monocle frame on a loop of gold chain out of his haversack* (You're giving the one-eyed squirrel a monocle? Of all the things that have happened in this thread, I'm not sure I would've expected something like that to render me speechless, but for a moment or two, words were not forthcoming. Congradulations(?)) Thanks Akh! *holds it up and squints* She's not over there. Things look so different! *starts to scan the boat* Looks like someone's been artificially boosting their charisma! You know who you are. *continues scanning, eyes settle on one of the coffee stations* I CAN TELL WHICH PACKETS CONTAIN REAL SUGAR AND WHICH ONES ARE FAKE! *drops monacle and makes a beeline for the sugar packets* *grabs handful of sugar packets* Right! I need the monacle! *drops sugar packets and dashes back to the top of Crystal Blue's head* Where'd it go? I dropped it right here! *continues looking, not realizing the golden chain around his neck and the monocle trailing behind his neck*
CrystalBlue 02-23-07, 01:12 PM	*I blink, then lift my hand up and show you* Here...right here. It's around your neck. *I take the monocle and hold it up for you* Don't go losing things like this. Squirrel sized monocles of true seeing don't just drop out of the air. But, apparently, the undead do. *points up to a few rifts in space-time that happen to be opening over the boat* And here I only brought along enough ego for my foxy avatar. My clerical abilities can't stop them.....not that I care, mind you. *sits back down and starts to drink some tea as the zombies fall, making wet plopping sounds, on the boat* Ahhh....tasty white tea...want some, mister squirrel?
Akhamshyy 02-23-07, 06:19 PM	*frog looks up , eyes suffusing with golden light as he begins casting* *suddenly the light springs off from one zombie to another* one, two, three!, four, five, six!... *each zombie within 30 feet crumbles to dust as it hits them*
Japangirl 02-23-07, 08:07 PM	Ooooh zombie dust! Can I cast shiny lights at undead things too? My glowy dagger doesn't kill them dead (more dead? dead again?) fast enough.
LGMoses 02-24-07, 01:06 AM	so uhhh... when yaw going to put these to print for a novel?

How old are you and are you hot? :P Maybe I can go laking too hehehe.. Edit: This thread is so large and complex that it threatens to become an organic molecule and swim off to go laking by itself
Japangirl 02-28-07, 01:13 PM	Monster!?! Where!?! Kick it in the shins! Run away! You're inside the monster and there is no escape! So just enjoy it while you can, it has laking and feasting and invisible people and gems of true-seeing and tree frogs and squirrels!

Are there hot squirrel babes that I could be hitting on? And I am enjoying myself far more than I should. ;) Danke! Mmmmmm.... suckers.
Japangirl 03-01-07, 02:09 AM	There are super invisible hot squirrel babes that you will never ever get to see or get paws on here. Nodnod. *rolls d20* Ok, yeap, that's a 30 bluff check. Have fun with that!

Gallaway 03-05-07, 02:09 AM	no no no .. D&D is a serious pursuit .. we must all compete very soberly and seriously and promise not to have fun .. oh and serious includes a ban on cheesy cheesy power builds and weird funky stuff or Britt will administer spankings all round to the offenders
Japangirl 03-05-07, 02:28 AM	Serious pursuit of a game, or serious pursuit of insanity? I prefer insanity myself, thus my participation in this tortuous thread :).
clannagh 03-05-07, 05:09 PM	Serious pursuit of a game, or serious pursuit of insanity? I prefer insanity myself, thus my participation in this tortuous thread :). for some insanity is not a preference its a way of life
Lomiat 03-05-07, 05:32 PM	for some insanity is not a preference its a way of life Yep. I'm constantly rolling percentile dice to determine my next action.
copper_wyrmling 03-05-07, 08:27 PM	Yep. I'm constantly rolling percentile dice to determine my next action. Speaking of which... I figure a week and a half should be enough to get over a caffeine overdose ;) There is a flash of rainbow colors, that glitter and linger in the air for a few moments. As they clear, though, nothing seems to have changed, except for a tiny mote hanging in the air in the distance. Those with keen eyes will note that the mote is a tiny figure, a little under six inches tall, seated on a rat. Those with extremely keen eyes will note that (a) the figure looks just like Azrien, except for the size and the fact that its skin is now a startling shade of azure, and (b) the rat's eyes are unusually intelligent, and it has a long-suffering expression on its furry face. "I'm BACK! Whee! You're all still here?! What have you been doing while I was away? And Alvin's back, too! Yay! Squirrel, did you miss me? Look, we're the same size now! I found a magic rod like Akhamshyy's, only this one's MINE, all mine! Did you find your ring of bling, Liliana?"
cycloptic_squirrel 03-05-07, 08:28 PM	no no no .. D&D is a serious pursuit .. we must all compete very soberly and seriously and promise not to have fun .. oh and serious includes a ban on cheesy cheesy power builds and weird funky stuff or Britt will administer spankings all round to the offenders Wait, so I'm banned now? Or can I use the interpretation that I am the normal one and thus everyone who is not cycloptic or squirrely or anthromorphic is wierd and thus banned?
clannagh 03-05-07, 09:45 PM	Wait, so I'm banned now? Or can I use the interpretation that I am the normal one and thus everyone who is not cycloptic or squirrely or anthromorphic is wierd and thus banned? think Castle Anthrax ..... spankings from Britt
Japangirl 03-05-07, 10:38 PM	No ring of bling *cry* but it'll come to me, it'll come! Some day. Maybe. If a mod author really loves me.
copper_wyrmling 03-05-07, 10:55 PM	No ring of bling *cry* but it'll come to me, it'll come! Some day. Maybe. If a mod author really loves me. My cleric found one in a Bissel interactive last year. *grumbles* My cleric finds all the best rogue stuff, it's ridiculous (she also picked up a FREE gemstone that gives once / day greater invisibility, which she has never actually used, and she's seen access to boots of tracelessness, i.e. greater invis three times / day). It was so much fun playing with my friend's rogue at my first US con last year, where I could shower her with lots of cool roguish gear, and imbue her with divine insight and gravestrikes. *sigh* I miss divine insight...
Lomiat 03-05-07, 10:57 PM	No ring of bling *cry* but it'll come to me, it'll come! Some day. Maybe. If a mod author really loves me. Yes, yes, yes! And my fighter, too. Lessee... You're in the BK, and I'm in the Shield Lands... That means it must be an IUZ metaregional! ...now, of course, which one of those shall I play with my fighter instead of my wizard?... *ponders*
cycloptic_squirrel 03-05-07, 11:16 PM	think Castle Anthrax ..... spankings from Britt Uhhh... so assuming that I realize that I am the nonstandard type facing punishment... can this be avoided if invisable? Ring of invisablitiy? Circle of Protection: Circle? Hat of disguise? Something? Anything?
clannagh 03-05-07, 11:22 PM	Uhhh... so assuming that I realize that I am the nonstandard type facing punishment... can this be avoided if invisable? Ring of invisablitiy? Circle of Protection: Circle? Hat of disguise? Something? Anything? not sure about the Circle of Protection .. after all britt is part of the circle maybe run real fast ? boots of ludicous squirrel speed ??
cycloptic_squirrel 03-05-07, 11:37 PM	not sure about the Circle of Protection .. after all britt is part of the circle maybe run real fast ? boots of ludicous squirrel speed ?? boots of ludicrous squirrel speed wouldn't help: squirrels get the benifits as a racial ability, so it wouldn't stack the circle of protection:white works even though it is white itself, so I'm assuming cirle of protection:circle would work here, I coud cast it...
Britt 03-05-07, 11:44 PM	CoP is a magic card and only affects other magic cards. There is no Britt magic card, therefore, CoP does not affect me.
copper_wyrmling 03-05-07, 11:51 PM	boots of ludicrous squirrel speed wouldn't help: squirrels get the benifits as a racial ability, so it wouldn't stack But Haste stacks with it, right? It's not an enhancement bonus? the circle of protection:white works even though it is white itself, so I'm assuming cirle of protection:circle would work here, I coud cast it... Hmmm. Yolande could make you slightly less weird and funky with a Regenerate spell (although you'd have to change your name), but the "anthropomorphic squirrel" problem remains. You could pretend to be a familiar, maybe? What's Britt's Sense Motive check like? Azrien would happily pretend that you were her familiar, and I'm sure Irthos could be persuaded to go along... (hides ARs with regrettable absence of access to squirrel familiar)
Japangirl 03-06-07, 12:05 AM	You can be my familiar! I have access to a monkey familiar, here have a hat of disguise to look like one. The parrot is ok with it.
cycloptic_squirrel 03-06-07, 12:21 AM	CoP is a magic card and only affects other magic cards. There is no Britt magic card, therefore, CoP does not affect me. Britt! Eeek! *freezes, working out solutions* OK, Britt's here, he sees me and hasn't realized I'm not allowed. Either that or maybe he's not actually enforcing what Gallaway and clannagh suggested. Either way, act cool, be calm, and make sure to put that racial feat to good use if he advances. Uh, h-hi Britt. Uh, coc-cookie? *offers Britt a cookie with trembling hands* Um, n-no one was suggesting you were a magic card, b-but I was kinda assuming that if, and I say if, I were to uh, want to keep you away, that a circle of protection circle might work, um, since, since you were a creature with the circle subtype. Magic c-card or not, I thought they worked against creatures, um, uh, like token creatures are still blocked. This is all theoretical, of course! Um, we all love you and would never do anything to keep you away. We, uh, have nothing that might be cause for, uh, problems. *nervously glances around* But Haste stacks with it, right? It's not an enhancement bonus? Hmmm. Yolande could make you slightly less weird and funky with a Regenerate spell (although you'd have to change your name), but the "anthropomorphic squirrel" problem remains. You could pretend to be a familiar, maybe? What's Britt's Sense Motive check like? Azrien would happily pretend that you were her familiar, and I'm sure Irthos could be persuaded to go along... (hides ARs with regrettable absence of access to squirrel familiar) Um, haste still stacks... boots of ludicrous squirrel speed grants a feat, kinda like boots of charging. And ludicrous squirrel speed is an unnamed bonus. So if you were to, uh, caste haste on me, like right now, I would be able to move faster. And I don't think regenerate would, um, remove a template. And although I would love to be your familiar, uh, I think Britt's sense motive is high, huge, incomprehensable. We could never hope to try and hide anything from him. He'd, uh, see right through it. *looks at Britt* no, really, try the cookie, it's-it's delicious. *continues to proffer cookie*
Lomiat 03-06-07, 10:25 AM	"Quick, Squirrel!" **Casts Leomund's Magical Green Dumpster in the Alleyway** "You can hide in there."
CrystalBlue 03-06-07, 01:15 PM	Don't you worry your furry little head, squirrel. I'm a kitsune and have the 'cuteness of ebil' template. So if Britt bans you, he's gotta go through me first. And I'm too damn cute to resist! *lays down and starts to lick and prune his 9 tails* Mrow... *lick, lick* See? Way too cute to ban. I mean, I only have illusion casting of level 30...that's not TOO bad...right? *blinks and then sees the cookie* Wait...what type of cookie is that? Better not be a sugar cookie... *tails begin to whip around quickly, excited about sugar*
Timlagor 03-06-07, 09:10 PM	Can I cut a way out of this monster with a haddock?
_m_ 03-06-07, 11:41 PM	Can I cut a way out of this monster with a haddock? nay... tho interestingly enough, IT can cut its way out of YOU with a clothes peg... ... go figure :D
cycloptic_squirrel 03-07-07, 02:21 AM	"Quick, Squirrel!" **Casts Leomund's Magical Green Dumpster in the Alleyway** "You can hide in there." OK, this has no basis whatsoever, but if Britt's vision is anything like a T-Rex's... *starts waving cookie back and forth* Mmmm... delicous cookie.... look at the delicious cookie... *waves it a few times and tosses it towards CrystalBlue* *freezes, then takes advantage of the momentary distration to run (with squirrely speed, naturally) and jump in the dumpster* *squishing sound from the dumpster* Ewwwwww. unrelated note, anyone going to CosCon? I'll use soap. Promise. *more squishing* Ewwwwww. OK a lot of soap.
cycloptic_squirrel 03-07-07, 02:32 AM	Sorry guys. I just realized that I could have put the unrelated query in another post, thus artificially bumping the count. I'm letting down the team. :( *squishing continues* Though I'm not sure I'll be the only one cut. Lomiat couldn't you have summoned an empty dumpster?!? :yuck:
Akhamshyy 03-07-07, 03:49 AM	Broken? What's broken here? I'm just an untiered encounter that puts you over the cap in one shebang. Just like the rest of us nuts here. Of course all of you have conveniently decided not to fight or care too much about my real nature. CosCon? Nope MEPa Con, end of month is my next con. And soap really isn't enough...Can someone here prestidigitate cycloptic_squirrel and deoderize 'im too?
copper_wyrmling 03-07-07, 04:09 AM	Broken? What's broken here? I'm just an untiered encounter that puts you over the cap in one shebang. Just like the rest of us nuts here.

And soap really isn't enough...Can someone here prestidigitate cycloptic_squirrel and deoderize 'im too? Akhamshyy, are you perchance an evil arcane caster of twelfth level or higher? *looks hopeful* (Azrien's Guild hates her and wants her dead, as demonstrated by their constant requests for her to go out and capture people capable of casting Antimagic Field and Disintegrate. Grumble grumble "take them alive" grumble.) *Azrien flies over to the dumpster and casts Sculpted Prestidigitation, cleaning the entire area instantly*
Akhamshyy 03-07-07, 07:03 PM	Evil? That opens up worrying about Pro Evil, nope not evil. Arcane spells? Heh, I'd be an Archivist if it where legal, but the 'dusting' undead should've been a clue. Wyrd, I know many special people who go round stopping casters and such. Some aren't really people though. But then they go after people who don't want to be people anymore. So I guess not being a person to begin with helps when you go after people who are almost so good(or so bad) they aren't really people when you stop them from getting so good(or so bad) they can't be people anymore.

Did that make any sense to anybody? ;) .. Come on don't be shy!
Akhamshyy 03-07-07, 09:39 PM	Did that make any sense to anybody? ;) .. Come on don't be shy! A cookie to the first person who gets what it is I was refering to.
Japangirl 03-07-07, 10:07 PM	I have no idea, so obviously no cookie for me. Maybe monsters have an easier time becoming liches or something?
cycloptic_squirrel 03-08-07, 12:01 AM	*a voice echos from a hollow dumpster* Are we guessing on your true nature, or what you were talking about? I'm pretty sure I know something of your nature, but were you refering to the Silent Ones? Ohhhh. No more squish. At least it smells ok.
Crazy Boro 03-08-07, 11:00 AM	If he is THAT Wyrd, then that would explain the froggie form. Silly Lashton and his distaste for toads. :D
CrystalBlue 03-08-07, 01:19 PM	*gives the cookie in front of him a sniff and then picks it up, breaking off a piece and tossing it up in the air. He catches it in his mouth and starts chewing* Mmm....good cookie, squirrel...squirel? Where'd you go? *looks over to the conjured trash bin* Oh...now get out of there...that's not clean and Britt's not gonna get you. He's just and illusion. See? *tries to wave hand through what he thinks is an illusion, but just hits Britt's leg over and over again.* Uhmm...hhmmm...that's a good illusion there, Britt...nice and solid...and...stuff. *sniffs the leg and blinks, trying to decern if he's made a mistake* Well...it looks like a Britt...talks like a Britt...feels like a Britt...and acts like a Britt... *Thinks over the saying that he remembers* That means...it must be a duck. DUCK! *yays and jumps onto the leg, foxy mind bewildered by possible duck soup.*
cycloptic_squirrel 03-08-07, 09:47 PM	*looks over to the conjured trash bin* Oh...now get out of there...that's not clean and Britt's not gonna get you. He's just and illusion. See? Illusion or not, he's not going to get me in here. I heard all weird/non-standard stuff was banned and Britt's going to punish offenders. And if rumor proves true, it's not the fun type of punishment, like when they sentence you to catapultation. Lomiat summoned this dumpster for me and here I stay. *loud banging noises against the side of the dumpster* Hear that?! That's half an inch of solid steel baby! Ain't nothing getting through that! Well, I guess Britt could, if he raged. Or had a chainsaw. Doesn't matter. Lomiat wouldn't have conjuered this if it wouldn't protect me, so there must be a reason. Britt's afeared of dumpsters, that's it.
copper_wyrmling 03-08-07, 10:12 PM	Well, I guess Britt could, if he raged. Or had a chainsaw. Doesn't matter. Lomiat wouldn't have conjuered this if it wouldn't protect me, so there must be a reason. Britt's afeared of dumpsters, that's it.[/B] Indeed. Britt, it turns out, has a raging L17 half-orc barbarian with Leap Attack on his side, who once did 792 damage to some poor monster :( And he probably has a chainsaw, too. And Wraithstrike. Those Closed options have to go somewhere... (Azrien is happy where she is, waaaaay up in the air where raging chainsaw-wielding half-orc chargers can't reach her... since she's currently five-and-a-half inches tall, riding a rat, blue-skinned, and with visible signs of red, copper and silver draconic heritage, she's in no position to talk about weirdness...)
cycloptic_squirrel 03-08-07, 10:34 PM	And he probably has a chainsaw, too. And Wraithstrike. Those Closed options have to go somewhere... Chainsaw's a closed option? Does that mean I can petition the circle to move it to open access? *smiles hopefully, not that anyone can see it, given that a full half inch of impeneratable green steel is in the way* (Azrien is happy where she is, waaaaay up in the air where raging chainsaw-wielding half-orc chargers can't reach her... ) Ummm, didn't Brit have wings of flying too? Come in the dumpster! It's safe, spacious, well spacious for us, and thanks to you it's now not smelly! We can hold a miniture party! For miniture... um, miniture... beings! Akhamshyy this means you too! And when did the red heritage come into play? Did I miss that before?
copper_wyrmling 03-08-07, 11:10 PM	Ummm, didn't Brit have wings of flying too? Come in the dumpster! It's safe, spacious, well spacious for us, and thanks to you it's now not smelly!

Coming, Akhamshyy? And of course I have red scales! Morginstaler taught me all about my red dragon heritage, although I'd kinda suspected it before. The dreams about burning down cities and eating people were a definite clue."

OH the humanity!!! m's pc caught fire and melted today... so yeah, im kind of very upset... $5000 down the drain for nothing... i nearly cried... any of my favourite stupidly titled participants coming to canberra games day?
Japangirl 03-09-07, 12:37 AM	Oh noes! Why did it catch fire? Did some of the draconic types here overload it? *glares at Copper Wyrmling and Akhamshyy*
copper_wyrmling 03-09-07, 12:57 AM	Wyrmlying "Are you implying something about me? Hmmmph. And I would NEVER make a strange and incomprehensible device explode in flames. Unless it was supposed to do that, of course." (sigh... Azrien started with copper dragon heritage as part of her backstory, before the heritage feats were ever created. Then she messed with an artifact and got silvery scales. Then she spent some time with Morgie and grew red ones. At this stage, she's pretty sure she's draconic, but beyond that, it's anybody's guess... and now she can't take Draconic Heritage feats because they require you to specify ONE type of dragon. Well, and because I don't own Races of the Dragon...)
Japangirl 03-09-07, 01:03 AM	Stupid typing at night when I don't pause to read over my own posts. That's what I get for, umm, for I don't know. Typing in this thread?
Timlagor 03-09-07, 09:36 AM	Timlagor passes Britt an Adamantine Rapier... "It may not sunder the dumpster but I don't see why it shouldn't pierce things through it"
CrystalBlue 03-09-07, 01:09 PM	*continues to gnaw gently on Britt's leg, still thinking it's a duck* Mmm...duck. Britt flavored duck... *looks around and blinks* We should...like...do something. Gnawing on Britt's leg will only produce so much cuteness and comedic value...and I can't do it forever! *whines*
Alpha_Nerd 03-09-07, 02:46 PM	Sweet merciful crap what happened to this thread?
bitznarf 03-09-07, 03:12 PM	*sigh* The squirells got to it. Well, them and other asorted small things that go 'pop' in the night.
copper_wyrmling 03-09-07, 04:11 PM	Timlagor passes Britt an Adamantine Rapier... "It may not sunder the dumpster but I don't see why it shouldn't pierce things through it" "Hey! That's not very nice!" (hovers just above the dumpster and looks appraisingly at Timlagor) "Hmmm... you evidently have the evil bit covered. Are you, perchance, an arcanist?" (but no, wait, if he was an arcanist of sufficient power, he would just be disintegrating our precious dumpster...)
Akhamshyy 03-09-07, 05:11 PM	Hmmm, *hops from person to person and perches on edge of dumpster* Today's domain spell is Prismatic Sphere! :mage: *gesticulates and casts spell around dumpster* Disintegrate this, go on, step by step. :D

Japangirl 03-09-07, 07:20 PM	Why, yes, I'd love some popcorn. So tasty, buttery and salty at the same time. The perfect mix of unhealthfulness!
Timlagor 03-10-07, 03:54 PM	Timlagor looks at Akhamshyy, "Ahh... wit." He casts Wrack on Akhamshyy (no permanent harm there ;)). "Evil did you say? No I'm not evil." yet
Akhamshyy 03-10-07, 11:20 PM	Of course there's no harm. First there's the color indigo, then violet. Even then there's the hefty SR thing I inherited to get past. And really what are you casting off of to send me a fort save I can't smash.:P Sure there's a 5% chance...:rolleyes:

Lomiat 03-12-07, 04:19 PM	***Reveals the hitherto Top Secret schematics of Leomund's Tiny Green Dumpster*** (Actually, it's Empowered and Extended, too, but that's hardly the point.) 1) Outer view: Green paint over metal exterior presents to world a smelly, slightly disorganized container (Hallucinatory Terrain worked over actual conjured, Fabricated steel -- though thinner than one might expect). 2) 1st interior layer: Behind surface image and fabricated steel, two directed and self-contained Permanent Antimagic fields radiate toward each other and cancel each other's emanation, leaving only super-thin layer of antimagic to prevent bad stuff from passing through Leomund's Tiny Green Dumpster (like Disintegrate). 3) 2nd interior layer: Bah, another sheet of lead. Big whoop-dee-doo. 4) 3rd interior layer: Permanent, metamagic Sculpted plane of Sphere of Annihilation. This does neat things to people poking adamantine rapiers through steel to try to hit squirrels, wyrmlings and other protected creatures. 5) 4th interior layer: More steel. I mean, something's gotta hold this puppy together. 6) 5th interior layer: Hallowed, Dimensionally Locked pad of hipness in extra-dimensional space made from a Widened Rope Trick (don't ask) with plush couches made from velvet and leather. Pillows everywhere. Beer and wine on tap with Unseen Servant waitors (plus Programmed Images of attractive hosts and hostesses of all sorts just walking around). Mahogany walls and oak floors. Tapestries of famous historical moments in the history of dragons and wizardry on Oerth. Hourly Programmed Images of bardic performances from the Great Bard-Off, Celestial Plane CY 589. Some various food stuffs stored in Bags of Holding: nuts, crackers, cheese, cakes. (Some squirrels may initially fail their Will saves vs. the illusory garbage, but everybody's bound to roll a nat 20 sooner or later.) It's quite a bargain at a 5th level spell slot! Access? Gained the secret from Leomund in return for sharing the knowledge of Ray of Stupidity, and then the **&@@&!!!! went and got the spell Restricted by abusing it too often. D@## you, Leomund!
Akhamshyy 03-12-07, 06:16 PM	:mymy: So ummm, If this thing gets dented, and that third layer there gets exposed, remind me to keep tabs on my mini haversack. I think I have a Rod of Cancelation in there. Somewhere. And I just don't want any fireworks here at ground level. OK...

copper_wyrmling 03-13-07, 11:54 PM	*alvins grins* *casts every single buff he's able to cast...* *shouts a nice big 'LOOK OUT M'DARLINGS!!!* *produces garbage bag* Azrien reaches out to the squirrel, Liliana and Akhamshyy, says, "Want to be up in the air?" and teleports 1000ft upwards, then casts Feather Fall. "Now we can watch!" Az peers downward eagerly, ready to dive through any interesting-looking planar rifts that appear.

Az peers downward eagerly, ready to dive through any interesting-looking planar rifts that appear. Gabby is not worried she has a new hair style and has learnt some new fangled spell that takes 10 hit points off her .. Velnius will look out for her.
copper_wyrmling 03-14-07, 12:35 AM	Gabby is not worried she has a new hair style and has learnt some new fangled spell that takes 10 hit points off her .. Velnius will look out for her. "Aargh! Gabby! I forgot Gabby! Was she in the dumpster too?" Az puts her hands to her mouth and shouts, as loudly as a six-inch-high being can, "Gabby! Do you want a lift?"
Akhamshyy 03-14-07, 12:38 AM	Ya know if this works...and all we get is some rift to Arcadia I'm gonna be really disappointed. Now the Beastlands, or the Shadow plane, somewhere I'm not from, that'd be cool. Oh and Azrien, good thing you gave me notice about that sort of thing. I was just able to dismiss my prismatic sphere before you took off.;)

cycloptic_squirrel 03-14-07, 04:57 AM	*wakes up, stretches* Hey! Wait! What happened? Last I remember, I'm behind half an inch of solid steel getting fed raspberries by this attractive non-invisable squirrel babe, and I decide that a nap might not be a bad idea. Next I notice I'm in the air again. No raspberries. No hot squirrel babe. No bardic contests projected. No leather couches. No tasteful mahogany decor. *looks around* and although some of my favorite people are gently floating with me I can't help but also notice that I AM NOT PROTECTED FROM BRITT'S UNANSWERABLE WRATH BY HALF AN INCH OF GREEN STEEL! help!
_m_ 03-14-07, 09:57 AM	*drops the garbage bag* *waits...* *shockwave of light, beam shoots up into the air...* ... wait for what heppens next...
CrystalBlue 03-14-07, 01:06 PM	*jumps up quickly onto Alvin's shoulder and shivers* I'm your familiar for today, damn it. *curls up around his neck and gets Share Spell benefits, then watches with curious fox eyes* Are we going to die?
Timlagor 03-14-07, 04:47 PM	Peers upwards to be sure not to miss the beam hitting the floaters.
Japangirl 03-14-07, 05:03 PM	I am SO NOT in the beam's line of fire! See? I'm like, way the heck over here. *twists her body in a very uncomfortable shape that was just missed by the beam, then shoots off (still flying, of course) to the side and further up*
cycloptic_squirrel 03-14-07, 08:20 PM	*looks whistfully as his inpeneratable fortress of green steel vaporizes* *sadness turns to horror as the realization of one friggin' huge beam coming his way* OK, four bodies, M(rat) and M(squirrel) twice as large, M(rat) and M(Az) coupled, so... *grabs the treefrog and casts the 3rd level version of Newton's Law, which looks somthing like giving a powerful push off the mage/rat pair with hind legs* Gonna be close! *shoots to one side with Akhamshyy, as Azrien and her familiar are projected in the opposite direction, both pairs narrowly missing the beam between them* Thank goodness for squirrel reflexes; that was too close, but I think we all made AAHHHH! *holds up tail, which is bushy as normal, except for the tip, which is black and singed* My pretty tail!

"Oh no! Your beautiful tail!" Azrien pulls out a tiny rose-crystal wand. "Hmmm... do you think that counts as a light wound?" "That was AMAZING, Alvin! Do you have another one of those bags? Lomiat, do you have another one of those dumpsters? Oh wait... he's gone. I hope he'll be back soon: I just had the BEST idea for how to deal with the Iuzian invasion..."
cycloptic_squirrel 03-14-07, 08:39 PM	"Oh no! Your beautiful tail!" Azrien pulls out a tiny rose-crystal wand. "Hmmm... do you think that counts as a light wound?" That would fix the minor pain due to the slight graze of flesh, but would that restore the inch of fur burned off?
copper_wyrmling 03-14-07, 08:45 PM	That would fix the minor pain due to the slight graze of flesh, but would that restore the inch of fur burned off? "I know a cleric who can cast Regenerate... or I could just stick some faux fur on while we wait for the real fur to regrow, so your tail would still be pretty.

Does this mean you can change the color of the rest of me too? What about albino? Or rainbow colored? Or blond? What about a mohawk? OK, I know! Straight black with a neon blue mohawk running the length from head to tail! With a fake pair of vampire fangs! Can we do that? *starts making vampire faces*

copper_wyrmling 03-15-07, 12:15 AM	Well, I guess we all know who spends their time most stupidly :P Yay tail! But neon blue mohawk? And plastic vampire teeth? Pretty please? *looks at Azrien with the biggest bambi eye he can muster* Azrien happily spends a few minutes giving the squirrel a makeover, assisted by her disguise kit and Prestidigitation. "Blue is such a nice color! Purple and green are pretty too, though. Now don't go swimming in the lake, I'm not sure how good this dye is. Ohhh, and here are some plastic vampire teeth left over from that infiltration mission under Riberlund... isn't it lucky they resized when I did?"
awroe 03-15-07, 02:27 PM	Timlagor summons Aurora. Aurora *appears*. "No, no, no! If you want vampire fangs, you *need* to have rainbow stripes in your hair - otherwise it just won't look the same. And it helps if you have sparkles there too - here, let me have a go. Close your eye's now..." Glitterdust makes getting ready for parties so much easier :)
cycloptic_squirrel 03-15-07, 03:11 PM	Yay! Now I'm all pretty! Thank you both! *makes menacing vampire faces* Grrrrr! :devil: *looks more like demonic squirrel, but he seems pretty oblivious to that* :dancin: Yeah! Nobody messes with a squirrel that has fangs. Especially with all that rabies propaganda. Now I can bite people! Unsuspecting people. :evillaugh :shifty: OK, so who's not paying attention? *starts lurking, not that there are too many shadows on the boat* Speaking of which, this boat came out of the 'incident' in pretty good shape. Akhamshyy, what kind of sealant did you use on this thing anyway? *continues his "hunt" for the unsuspecting laker*
Japangirl 03-15-07, 04:24 PM	Oooh ooh mememe! I'm definitely not paying attention! (Hee, good luck hitting the Uncanny Dodge rogue!)
Timlagor 03-15-07, 04:28 PM	*makes menacing vampire faces* Timlagor cowers theatrically (if rather unconvincingly).
cycloptic_squirrel 03-15-07, 06:35 PM	What happened Timlagor cowers theatrically (if rather unconvincingly). What was seen Timlagor cowers. Yeah, that's right. No one wants to mess with a one-eyed fanged tree rodent. Grrrr! *more vampire faces, which still look more like cartoon-like demon faces* Oooh ooh mememe! I'm definitely not paying attention! *rolls decently on the sense motive, but unfortunetly, squirrels tend to accumulate heavy penalties in that particular skill* Hmmm... Liliana seems awfully distracted by something... it'd be a shame if someone LEPT OUT OF THE DARKNESS, FANGS BARED! *leaps out of the partial shade fangs bared*
clannagh 03-15-07, 06:52 PM	*leaps out of the partial shade fangs bared* GABBY: Sees the apparent vampire skwerl and "turns skwerl" using her inbuilt paladin 1337-ness.

Liliana seems awfully distracted by something... it'd be a shame if someone LEPT OUT OF THE DARKNESS, FANGS BARED! *leaps out of the partial shade fangs bared* Aurora fails her wisdom check to recognise the danger *raps squirrel on nose* Bad squirrel. No more pretty colours if you behave like that!
cycloptic_squirrel 03-15-07, 07:15 PM	Aurora fails her wisdom check to recognise the danger *raps squirrel on nose* Bad squirrel. No more pretty colours if you behave like that! But... but... my unnatural desires dictate that I feast on the lifeblood of the living and... and... *conjures up the big bambi eye again* all the other abominations of life incarnate were doing it. And Liliana just looked so full of vitality and energy; surely the halfling wouldn't notice if I just siphoned off just a little bit to slack my unholy thirst. *Notices Gabby and the actions she is undertaking* Ahhhhhh! IT BURNS! *clutches at throat and starts making gagging noises* Oh, the humanity! Or rather. Oh the necromancy! *falls over and starts convulsing* I can feel the unlife as it is sucked out of my very being! Gak! *goes limp* *opens eye* *looks around* *stands, looking confused* Umm... shouldn't I be a small pile of dust right now? What's going on?
Japangirl 03-15-07, 07:33 PM	She just killed the half-vampire part. The half-sqwerl part is still alive and all fine and fully alive now!
Akhamshyy 03-15-07, 09:48 PM	Ooh, Japangirl! I'm sleepy...:bigeyes: *jumps over and snuggles up under Japangirl's collar* *many tiny honk-shus are heard*
cycloptic_squirrel 03-15-07, 11:07 PM	She just killed the half-vampire part. The half-sqwerl part is still alive and all fine and fully alive now! That is an excelent theory! On the other hand, it might possible that I have incredibly high turn resistance and I LEAP OUT OF THE DARKNESS FROM RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, FANGS BARED! *leaps out of the area that is actually in direct sunlight, fangs bared nonetheless*
copper_wyrmling 03-15-07, 11:21 PM	That is an excelent theory!

This is just like when you were pretending to be a ghost. If you were a vampire, my wand would hurt you, see?" *pokes vampiric sparkly squirrel with Cure Light Wounds wand* "And you can't be a vampire, because I hate vampires, because they control people's minds. And I LIKE you."
Japangirl 03-15-07, 11:23 PM	That is an excelent theory! On the other hand, it might possible that I have incredibly high turn resistance and I LEAP OUT OF THE DARKNESS FROM RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, FANGS BARED! *leaps out of the area that is actually in direct sunlight, fangs bared nonetheless* HAH! Caught you! Caught you by the fluffy tail of doom. I can win grapple checks against you mwahahahahaha. Heehee, the tiny frog's snores tickle my neck! Yay for dual familiars/friends :).
copper_wyrmling 03-15-07, 11:28 PM	]I can win grapple checks against you mwahahahahaha. "Oh. Grapple checks." Azrien suddenly looks worried. "I kinda forgot about those. Maybe I don't want to be tiny any more..."
Japangirl 03-15-07, 11:32 PM	Don't worry, I'll protect you. Rings resize, right? Here, take this! *hands over a Ring of Freedom of Movement that turns itty bitty*
cycloptic_squirrel 03-15-07, 11:48 PM	HAH! Caught you! Caught you by the fluffy tail of doom. I can win grapple checks against you mwahahahahaha. *stuggles* *stuggles some more* *stops stuggling and just swings upside down for a moment* Actually, this isn't too bad. *looks at Azrien* What do you mean pretend? You mean I wasn't actually a ghost? I thought I was and you saved me from an existance of undeath (thanks again by the way)? I'd hardly call this vampire thing pretend, well, actually I would, but then again, I'm not sure I would be able to tell the difference between a possessession of an ancient malevolent spirit and my imagination running away again. But I distinctly remember being a ghost! *stuggles for a bit, then swings again* *gets mischevious look* *starts rocking momentum back and forth that shortly results in some quality squirrel pendulum action* *Looks directly at his captor, still swinging* You are getting sleepy. Verrrrrry Sleeeeeeepy! I will count to three and then you will be under my control.......1.........2.........
copper_wyrmling 03-15-07, 11:49 PM	Don't worry, I'll protect you. Rings resize, right? Here, take this! *hands over a Ring of Freedom of Movement that turns itty bitty* "Oh, WOW! Thank you so much, Liliana!" Azrien's eyes light up as she takes the ring. "Do you want to teleport somewhere? Or to be invisible? Or to be flying? Or to have a magic flying horse? Or to have more magic on your daggers? Do you like it when your enemies get grappled by tentacles? Or blinded by sparkly dust? Or enfeebled so they can't hit you back? Or enervated so they can't cast nasty spells on you?" Azrien looks earnestly at Liliana. "Just let me know! I'll help!" (Azrien wants people to like her magic, and she wants to be helpful to her friends. It's such a pity that her innate magic tends to manifest itself as Ways To Do Horrible Things To People... she still doesn't understand why those nice people in Bissel didn't like her necromancy spells.)
Akhamshyy 03-16-07, 12:03 AM	Hmmm, noisy.... *little frog rolls over and dreamily casts silence on himself* *flops back over and lets out a loud honk-shu just before all sound dies off* ... ... :cloud9:
cycloptic_squirrel 03-16-07, 12:14 AM	*still swinging* "...................." *gives a look of suprise* "........................................ ........................................ .............!" *wild gestulation* " ...............................!!!!" *muted upside down punk vampire squirrel fury*

Unless we work for them of course, then we'll kill Vecnaites or Pholtans or something :D. I really like the Magic That Does Horrible Things to People, it compliments my own blender style so very nicely!

Uh-oh, ground approaching fast! *tucks in, rolls, bounces up* Ta-da! OK, I've learned my lesson. And that lesson is... um... that lesson is... Hey I'm hungry again, did all the food get a'spolded by the dumpster incident? *looks around* Remnants must be left somewhere... *his eye wanders, lands on Timlagor* Bagels? ...LEAPS OUT OF THE DARKNESS, FANGS BARED! *leaps, and given that a cloud was in front of the sun, darkness could be accurate, if taken as a relative term, and of course fangs are bared*

I know a Pholtan Bishop who's really nice, and the chaos loved her, all the spells I cast on her came out really powerful. Hmmm. Not sure about working for Iuzians though. My Guild might get annoyed about that, since we're at war with them. I'm trying to get my Sapphire promotion this year. I already captured an evil arcane caster for them and everything!" "The Bandit Kingdoms is close to Perrenland, though, right? Near the Rift? I should go visit Morgie again sometime. He likes me. Hmmm." *cast Dancing Lights to provide dramatic strobe lighting for the vampire squirrel's pounces*
Timlagor 03-16-07, 08:18 AM	"Hey! That tickles!"
CrystalBlue 03-16-07, 01:13 PM	*looks up from a foxy nap, then down to the woodland rodent of funny colors.* Hmmm? Something happening? *opens mouth all wide, as wide as the squirrel, and yawns, two rows of small, but sharp and bright, teeth bared and showing* Mmm...I'm hungry... *jumps down from m and sniffs the squirrel, smiling a bit* Foxy wants...meat today. Nice, fresh...tender meat. *Begins to drool and licks his muzzle*
cycloptic_squirrel 03-17-07, 09:50 AM	"Hey! That tickles!" *stops nawing at Timlagor's neck* What gives? I'm not even breaking the skin? No skin breakage means no lifeblood. No lifeblood means no 12 essential vitamins and minerals. *spits out fangs and inspects them* Plastic? What!?! Wait, no, I think I asked for plastic. Even so, they're still kinda pointy. *points accusingly at Timlagor* You have damage reduction x/plastic, don't you? Well, I guess these are useless... *considers the fangs for a minute, then pops them back into his mouth* Except for making me look cool, of course. *makes more vampire faces on Timlagor's shoulder* *looks down at the fox* My what sharp teeth you have. You hungry too?
Timlagor 03-17-07, 11:10 PM	"On the contrary, plastic completely fails to get through my DR." :P Timlagor plucks the squirrel from his neck while it is playing with its fangs and tosses it towards CrystalBlue. :devil:

Azrien darts through the air to intercept the squirrel. "I knew you were evil! Uh... do you think you could study arcane magic for a while? Until, say, you can cast seventh-level spells? Pretty please?" *looks hopefully at Aurora* "You're a caster too, right? Are you a sorcerer, by any chance?"
awroe 03-18-07, 06:45 AM	*looks hopefully at Aurora* "You're a caster too, right? Are you a sorcerer, by any chance?" I put a bit more thought into my magic. How else could I manage to make it so pretty and colourful. See, like this... *A Colour Spray goes off, hitting lots of surrounding wildlife and causing lots of thumps as birds fall from trees* Whoops :)

See, like this... *A Colour Spray goes off, hitting lots of surrounding wildlife and causing lots of thumps as birds fall from trees* Whoops :) "Why do you need to think about magic? It just works. I used to be able to make pretty colors like that - Min taught me how, and how to use magic to make a forcefield to protect myself - but then the dragon dream-magic kinda took over." Az sighs, then brightens up. "Mind you, people seem to think I'm even prettier now. Just be careful, Aurora, don't play with your spells in the forest, if you go to Celene. They arrested me! How was I supposed to know those trees were important to them?" *pause, as she tries to work out why she's suddenly feeling like she's forgotten something...* "Wait! Oh no! Min! I promised to pick her up again after she'd finished looking around Ratikhill, and then I forgot! She doesn't know how to teleport! And that was weeks ago!" *looks pleadingly at Aurora* "If you're a wizard, can you scry? Or Akhamshyy, can you scry... Akhamshyy! Wake up!" Azrien yells ineffectually at the frog drowsing peacefully in the Silence field. (Yesterday, Min, my L4 sorceress, played a game in which the party fought Dire Squirrels. Lots and lots of dire squirrels, with fangs, and the Blood Drain ability. I found it extremely difficult to stop thinking of this thread and giggling ;) )
cycloptic_squirrel 03-18-07, 03:37 PM	This is not *dodges CrystalBlue* how you *dodge* play tag! You're not even *dart* it ! I think Liliana was it last. *duck* Or maybe Gabby. *leaps to the side* But not you! *scampers up Azrien* Someone doesn't know how to play tag properly. *makes vampire faces at CrystalBlue, pauses looks at Azrien* Scry? You don't happen to have a holy water font, do you? (Yesterday, Min, my L4 sorceress, played a game in which the party fought Dire Squirrels.

I think Liliana was it last. *duck* Or maybe Gabby. *leaps to the side* But not you! *scampers up Azrien* Azrien - who at the moment is roughly squirrel-sized - looks rather shocked at being crash-tackled by the squirrel, but sees the fox and teleports herself and the cycloptic one up 20ft or so. Someone doesn't know how to play tag properly. *makes vampire faces at CrystalBlue, pauses looks at Azrien* Scry? You don't happen to have a holy water font, do you? "My friend Yolande does! In her temple! We could go there - can you scry?" (Please tell me you're kidding, the timing would be a little too surreal.) Not kidding. Min won her party's eternal gratitude - and a pretty silvery pelt - by successfully color-spraying the Dire Squirrel of Legend :D She also almost killed her own dog when she breathed acid on him to remove the two attached dire squirrels, and he failed his Ref save :weep: Poor blood-drained acid-burned puppy on -9... fortunately she had a potion ready and was only a five-foot-step away, and she DID kill both dire squirrels (she also got the two who were attached to the party rogue, and he evaded the blast, fortunately ;) )
cycloptic_squirrel 03-18-07, 04:04 PM	"My friend Yolande does! In her temple! We could go there - can you scry?" *makes more vampire faces at Crystal Blue* um... maybe? Do you have any Cherrios? Or Raisin Bran? Anything of that sort? She also almost killed her own dog when she breathed acid on him to remove the two attached dire squirrels, and he failed his Ref save Poor blood-drained acid-burned puppy on -9... fortunately she had a potion ready and was only a five-foot-step away, and she DID kill both dire squirrels (she also got the two who were attached to the party rogue, and he evaded the blast, fortunately) Poor squirrels... I mean, um... yay puppies!
Lomiat 03-18-07, 06:44 PM	"My friend Yolande does! In her temple! We could go there - can you scry?" ***Appears from invisible*** "If your friend is in danger, I can scry for you. Do you have a picture of her, an article that once belonged to her, a finger or other body part?" "No? No one ever has a body part... Shame about that. See, all you need to do is cut some of your companions' hair while they sleep. Then you label the locks like this..." ***Pulls out a neatly catalogued inventory of other adventurers' hair.*** "Oh, don't be so put off by it. Do you want me to find your friend, or not?"
Eric Anondson 03-18-07, 08:19 PM	***Pulls out a neatly catalogued inventory of other adventurers' hair.***That's a whole new category of "creeps me out"... :incog:
lunarfish 03-18-07, 09:10 PM	***Pulls out a neatly catalogued inventory of other adventurers' hair.*** Well, that explains why he scrys on me so often... On a side note, I just spent over an hour reading this thread from beginning to end. It's incredible what an off-topic discussion of laking can become.
Japangirl 03-18-07, 09:31 PM	Oh we're still laking. We just moved to Perrenland to escape Morginstaler and made a big green trashcan/Leomund's Tiny Hut explodey after using it to take cover from Circle wrath as people polymorphed, flew, and otherwise maneuvered away. Cycloptic is being his usual crazy self and there's a nine-tailed fox around here (I'm pretty sure nine tails is pretty unusual for a fox, someone ask a druid?) and and and *huff huff* *pause for breath* Phew ok, it's taking a while longer to explain than I thought. Anyways, just sit back and enjoy the insanity!
Akhamshyy 03-18-07, 09:33 PM	"If you're a wizard, can you scry? Or Akhamshyy, can you scry... Akhamshyy! Wake up!" Azrien yells ineffectually at the frog drowsing peacefully in the Silence field. :zzz: :zzz: :blink: *little frog climbs up to Japamgirl's shoulder and stretches* When you say things that loud at me I can still hear you think them, just as you hear me now... *waves froggy hand and sound returns to his area* Now I need to rest, then I'm gonna meditate on the cosmic greatness of my alignment. Once I'm done all that I can scry for you. While I'm doing that I suggest you go procure a Holy Water Font. Not a cheap one either, though I wouldn't know the difference. I don't even know what the darned thing is; only that I'll need it for the scrying itself. Go on now get moving. *little frog resumes his place in Japangirl's collar and Honk-Shus are heard once more* :zzz: :zzz:

I don't even know what the darned thing is; only that I'll need it for the scrying itself. "Lomiat said he would scry for me! He's so nice! Lomiat, I don't have any of Min's hair, but I have this spell component pouch that she gave me when I went off adventuring for the first time." (Azrien pulls out a somewhat battered spell component pouch, with little flaming skulls embroidered on it.) "Isn't it pretty? I embroidered the skulls myself, you know. To keep track, else I might lose count. Hmmm." "But I'm sure we can get a holy water font for Akhamshyy, too! That's a quest, right? We could get XP for it! And probably we'd get to fight some encounters! Who wants to come? Where should we go first? Do any of your regions have lots of temples with poor security? I mean, we could go to my friend's temple, but her holy water font is kinda built into the rock, and she'd get angry at me if I took it. I don't like it when the volcano people are angry with me, they're scary." "But yeah! A quest! We can all go, me and Lomiat and Liliana and Timlagor and Aurora and Cycloptic and Crystal_Blue and everyone! Oh, and RedKnight, and Alvin! Where are they? I haven't seen them lately..."
Japangirl 03-18-07, 10:39 PM	Would unholy water work? I know where we can get lots of it, and it involves annoying/making angry/p*ssing off people who are already mad at me! :D Umm, the hidden temple of Pelor might have one, but I bet they wouldn't want us to take it. Holy water fonts are pretty rare at home. *shrug*
CrystalBlue 03-19-07, 07:22 AM	*pants and looks at the tasty little critter, tails whipping about behind him* Oh, I know how to play tag...I'm just playing a different kind then the one you're used to, my little cycloptic friend. *licks his lips as he circles the squirrel* It's just that when I tag you, I might be doing a bit more then calling you it. Unless you don't mind playing tag in my stomach...mmm...
cycloptic_squirrel 03-19-07, 08:07 AM	"But yeah! A quest! We can all go, me and Lomiat and Liliana and Timlagor and Aurora and Cycloptic and Crystal_Blue and everyone! Ohhh! Does this count as a muster? Would this be a good time to imply that I'm a high level favored soul with awsome combat abilities and disable device check in the mid twenties? There's been a lot of talk about non-optimal characters and dead weight, so I figure if I can raise everyones hopes during the muster, I'm doing my share, right? Right? Let's see, holy water font... *ponders* I know! Wait. No. Um, lets not go there. There was some... unplesantness. *glances around nervously* But I'm up for anywhere else! What do I need to pack? *looks at Lomiat* Ooooh. Pretty hair collection! Can I see? Pleeeeease? *makes grabby motions in Lomiat's direction, a pretty clear indication of what he means by 'see'* *notices CrystalBlue looking at him* You sure are smilely today! Oh, and RedKnight, and Alvin! Where are they? I haven't seen them lately..." Last I saw RedKnight, he said someting about disturbing him and feeding me to a pit fiend if I interupted his "swim". Then again, it was at least heavily implied that if I behaved, he'd bring me a blueberry bagel when he came back. So if I'm really good... how many hit dice do pit fiends have again?

copper_wyrmling 03-19-07, 01:10 PM	Timlagor pulls a Portable Hole from his Haversack, reaches in and withdraws a large and very expensive mirror. He then begins looking around for birds of prey... Azrien rolls a natural 20 on her Spot check and notices the eagle circling overhead, eyeing the squirrel. "Aargh! Look out, Squirrel! It's a roc!" (in the Wild Mage tradition of overreaction, casts Split Ray Empowered Scorching Ray on the eagle. It looks scarier when you're Tiny...) KAZZAP! (as four rays of red, blue, green and white fire leap from her fingertips) *sizzle, sizzle* (as the charred body of the eagle drops to the ice) (looks abashed upon seeing the actual size of the bird, then brightens up) "The eyes should still be okay! Timlagor, you were looking for bird eyes, right? And Crystal_Blue, you can have the rest of it! Nice fried... um... bird-meat for you!" "Alvin! You're back! Wonderful! Just in time for our quest! And you saved Squirrel from being eaten by the roc!" *hugs Alvin back, although the disparity in size makes this harder* "Do you want to dismiss the sphere, or do you want to see the cool new spell I figured out? It's all green and pretty!" (This thread has turned into something fairly close to a play-by-post game, albeit a very freeform one :) I'm happy, it gives me a chance to "play" Azrien some more without spending TUs. Precious, precious TUs... I'm not sure how it happened, but Az has managed to allocate almost all of this year's TUs without ever playing regionals, metaregionals or Year 7 mods (apart from the one I playtested). Fear the Adaptables, for they are Colossal with the Improved Grab and Swallow Whole abilities :weep:)

Wow the eighties, role-playing was so new and novel to me back then... Nobody's told me what a Holy Water Font actually is yet.
cycloptic_squirrel 03-25-07, 10:15 AM	Instead of the expected laboratory, the party stands in an area devoid of all objects, though natural rock floor is reminiscent of what was in the lab; there's no sign of the walls or ceiling, but that's not saying a lot, since the light sources seem subdued and barely extend beyond ten feet. A slight chill permeates and anyone of good alignment definetly gets a supernatural feeling of unease. A halfway decent listen roll reveals noises emanating from the north. OK! So I'm doubting that we're going to get a chance for a new PC race in the upcoming Greyhawk ruins arc, but there's already speculation and requests. And very few of them concern one-eyed tree-rodents! I don't think everyone realizes how effective a squirrel PC can be! Well now's the time to show them exactly what a squirrel build is capable of! *cocks his head, makes a vampire face, and bites the air with with a sonic snap that echoes in what surely must be a cavernous room* Right! Tally ho! *darts from the group westward into the darkness beyond* A thud is heard, and those with darkvision past 20 feet see a flying squirrel slam full bore into a wall. SON OF A NUT!!!

Japangirl 03-26-07, 10:30 PM	Is it large is it large is it large? It isn't? Ok here's the plan. m, you reduce me. Then I can go and stand under the medium nasty thingy and stab it to death (Confound the Bigger Folk ftw) with my black power dagger of doom. Remember folks, your local rogues love to solo bad guys! Especially with someone pumping healing into them . . .
Lomiat 03-27-07, 12:00 AM	"Here, Japangirl, perhaps this will help." ***casts Dragonbreath, shares with familiar, and both breathe*** ***three orc barbarians freeze, paralyzed*** "See? Now, they've lost their dex. Just leave one for me." ***prepares the Vampiric Touch coup de grace***

Squirrel-kind... *Shakes again* Glory... Honor. Right! CHARGE! *runs directly toward one of the few half-orcs not stunned, dodges the powerful blade swings by unexpectedly launching into flight.

Or milk gone bad! *scurries to other shoulder, avoiding another catch attempt*

Suddenly a lump is seen moving all about the half-breed's torso. different from the rest of you? That something sets me apart, not just as unique, but as odd? I'm not sure I like what that implies about me, but if your assertion is correct, then I suppose that I am indeed bizarre! The half orc grins as his large muscular hands, pressed firmly against his frame, finally succeed in trapping the lump in cage of meaty thumbs and forefingers slightly above his abdomen. Because I know exactly what's going on! The evil smirk flashes to a face of rage and frustration as the top half of a vibrantly colored squirrel making vampire faces explodes out of the tunic in a display that can only be described as alien-esque. HaHa! I'm kicking ass! *jumps out of the tunic's new exit before the calloused hands can forcefully unite; starts scurrying up the left arm, the newly aquired burden of a bronze key barely slowing him* That's what's going on! *jumps and body slams the half orc's headgear, using his momentum to twist the helm about, the 120 degree rotation noticably reducing the half orc's vision to the interior of his headgrear* Liliana, NOW!

Better hide it...no ...no ...damn it, I have too many tomes. >.< *suceedes in pulling out the right one and opens it up just as a large bastard sword flies passed him and clangs onto the wall behind* Someone wanna turn down that music?

I have just about every spell I can in here...thanks to Boccob and his Books which are Blessed. *gives a yelp and catches a dagger in mouth as it bounces off of a wall* Hey! I shaid watsh it!
Japangirl 03-28-07, 07:49 PM	That was NOT my dagger! Unless it's full of orc blood. Then it might be, I think it went clear through him? (Liliana does not miss on ranged attacks with daggers against barbarians. She's only :rolleyes: +22 to hit with a 20 ft range increment). Oh if you want to Evards the area, feel free! Grappled targets make such nice sneak buddies, don't you think? *No, no knight levels. Fighter and rogue and sorceror, yes. Anything resembling lawful, good, or sane? Not so much*

If I look at it this way the squiggles look like a skull, and the lopsided triangle forms a V over one of the eyes and the swirl is on the forehead... What's that one do?

Why, we got all those Dakons killed back in the day. I can't imagine that they could match up with someone of your prowess." **The hawk cocks its head (and those with a high Sense Motive -- NOT Lomiat -- might see that it looks almost like a hawkish sigh)** *The hawk suddenly turns into a chimera *The chimera is wreathed in flames *The chimera is wreathed in frost *The chimera's skin turns to stone *The chimera suddenly acts a lot more like a fighter *The chimera suddenly acts a lot more like a 5th level rogue *The chimera disappears **An orcs face is cauterized even as its sliced down the middle.

I don't see any more orcs..." **The orc stealthily trying to stab the grey elf wizard in the back suddenly is flung to the ground and bitten in three fiery chunks** "Right. NOW... I don't see any more orcs. Let's try the next room, shall we? Onward to Min!"

cycloptic_squirrel 03-29-07, 03:19 AM	*with key in hand, stands triumphantly over one of the two dozen or so bodies, well, actually there are only around a dozen bodies; the last half of that encounter tended to involve may processes that didn't really leave bodies so much as remains. Either way, the squirrel is currently publicly reflecting on what has transpired* Oh yeah. You see that? I was awesome. I took this one down single handedly. He wsa all liek Grrr! And I was all like rrrr. And then I kicked his ass. Well, I suppose crediting Liliana with the assist would be the proper thing to do. But it was mostly me. *looks around, his one eye narrows, and he points to a nearby torso sporting gashes bigger than the squirrel himself* That one too.

LachlarlanIII 03-29-07, 11:37 AM	(goes off on an unrelated tangent) I just got the strangest (and possibly stupidest) converstion in my head. It's between a human and a gnome. Human: Why are gnomes so slow? Gnome: Underpants my friend. Human: Underpants? Gnome: Yes, underpants. Very hard to walk straight when they're always riding high if you get my meaning. Why, if we didn't wear them like those dang goblins I bet we could be world-class sprinters! Human: I see...:eek: The gnome's name is Wedgie. (end unrelated tangent) *curses the monocled squirrel*

I'll be judging mostly, though I might play a few things. *End tangent* Well, time doesn't pass in bags of holding, because all the heads stay fresh in there until they get buried. So all the body parts shouldn't rot until they get taken out and time starts again. A wizard explained time stopping to me, but I didn't get it. I think he's researching a way to make time stop in a really short area around him for a few seconds, but he hasn't made it work yet. That would be really cool though!

Katali the halfling rouge, stands on th edge of the laking lake looking rejected :( We can't have that! A rather dazed-looking wild mage pops into existence on the lakeshore. "Hmmm, not sure where I went just then. There were dreams. Dragons. Pholtans. Liches. Mmmm. Liches - or any flying undead, really - make nice fireworks." "Ah. This is Morgie's lake, right? We should probably leave. I'm not sure to what degree Morgie obeys his grandma, but... yeah. Better not to risk it. I'm still not sure the Magic has stopped sulking about that monk..." "Want to come? You look small and nimble and good at dodging immense blasts of dragonfire, so stay, if you'd like. My friends were all going to rescue Min, though, so I should really go help them, and we could use another rogue. Liliana's there, but I don't think she's really a traps and sneaking rogue. Even if she is, I bet she'd like some help." Az offers Katali her hand. "Coming?" POP! And she reappears in the room, just in time to see the rest of the party vanishing through the hole. "Wait for me!"
Japangirl 04-04-07, 12:19 AM	I can do traps now! I spent a lot of time studying and I can get most of them now (OOC, spent 7/10 skill ranks catching up Disable Device when I hit 15). I could always find them though. Are you a sneaky rogue? I can't sneak very well, people always see me or hear me :( . I spent a lot of time learning the anatomy of beasties and constructs, so I sort of never learned the arts of hiding. OOOOOH a flanking buddy! Please tell me you're not one of the hide-in-the-back rogues that only shoots little bitty arrows at things. Please. I like to go under big nasty things and poke them full of holes in the . . . *ahem* . . . kidneys. How about you?

cycloptic_squirrel 04-04-07, 02:56 AM	*continues to float; with gritted teeth and tiny fists solidly clenched, the squirrel starts visibly shaking* *a low moan starts to emanate from the tiny form, and quickly rises to an agonized crescendo* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh! *visably slumps as the vocalization is terminated by a soft pop and brief bright flash that fades to a twinkle not 6 inches in front of the squirrel* *warily opens his eye* Well, I... *looks around* aw dangit. I thought for sure it worked. I tried really hard. What's this? *leans in to inspect the quickly diminishing pinprick of light*
cycloptic_squirrel 04-04-07, 04:49 AM	Space itself seems to warp as a large clawed hand suddenly bursts from the small point of light. A second hand slides beside the first and together they forcibly distort the opening even wider with a deafening rip. A hideously scaly form as big as an ogre springs from the narrow cleft, it's huge wings unfurling and prehensile tail lashing about. The creature's horned skull features a singular red eye, whose gaze falls upon the squirrel less than a foot away. With a snarl, the monster's tongue lashes out with incredible speed; the tiny fear-petrified animal is easily ensnared and immediately returned to his toothy jaw with a jerk. With a sickening crunch, the large creature chews once, swallows, and smiles gleefully as he surveys the area, hefting a wicked looking spiked chain. Everyone hears the same dark voice in their head, "Who's next?" Roll for initiative.

Timlagor 04-04-07, 12:24 PM	just because i can, and i want my daring darling japangirl to sneak attack, and to have a friend doing it, and despite his incredible hide, alvin just cant sneak attack, so... nightstalkers transformation on both of you. :D Timlagor looks up from his book, "I feel a disturbance in the RAW."

Take... oh... 30 points of Intelligence damage, no save... (and if that doesn't knock it unconscious, Az calls dibs on its spellbook.)
RedKnightofKet 04-04-07, 06:12 PM	Don't feel dejected, hun. I'm not one for dimension-hopping either.... Maybe you and I can just go laking while we wait for everyone to come back? :schemes: m won't mind.... ;) m I've gone over it dozens of times and I'm still having trouble trying to figure out how you've gone from laking, to bagels, to brownies, and now you're jumping through different dimensions. Katali the halfling rouge, stands on th edge of the laking lake looking rejected :(
clannagh 04-04-07, 07:17 PM	What ? Alvin doesnt have some funky shadow ability/spell that gives him sneak attack on his scorching rays ? Madeleine will have to have words next time she sees him.
Akhamshyy 04-04-07, 09:41 PM	It hears in It's head, " Who's next?! You are buddy! Any last thoughts before we whip your prehensile-tailed behind?"

Japangirl 04-05-07, 12:32 AM	*Runs underneath the screaming demon* Take THAT! And THAT! And another four after that! What was your flatfooted AC again? You like the 48d6 + 6d3 + 3 Con damage, don't you? Wait, what does Fires of Purity do for my damage? Oh wait, I don't have to stand underneath you, I'm invisable! Hahaha I win :D . *Everyone hears gleeful and slightly crazy laughter coming from underneath the blendered demon*

Hahaha I win :D . *Everyone hears gleeful and slightly crazy laughter coming from underneath the blendered demon* They're chaos-infused fires of purity! Add 15 fire damage on every hit, although demons are no fun, they tend to be resistant. Remember the +3 Greater Magic Weapon spells on your daggers, too! (Poor blenderized cloudkill-burned Int-drained demon... I would say that would teach it not to eat squirrels, but I suspect this isn't a learning experience so much as evolution in action.)
Lomiat 04-05-07, 12:53 AM	**Lomiat looks up from from the orc journal he found amid the objects in the room.** "Squirrel, the key fit, but you wouldn't believe how tacky... Ah, I see we've a new visitor." **Watches the beast take 30 potential points of INT damage plus a flurry of blows from a somewhat-invisible halfling (invisibility being relative to the defender's visual abilities).** "Hey... That's a wounding weapon, right?" **Does some quick math. And a Knowledge (religion) check DC 49.** "Ah! That's a demodand! That would explain its immunity to mind-affecting INT drain, CON drain and fire. Somebody go grab Freud; he can probably just obliterate it with a turn attempt... "Or if you can't find Freud, you might want to watch out for the..." FWOOOM!!!!! "...energy admixtured flame strike. Everyone okay?" **Just in case everyone's not all right, Lomiat casts Assay Spell Resistance followed by an Otiluke's Resilient Sphere... Sometimes it's just good to be a grey elf.**

Are you implying it's some sort of undead?" Azrien looks dejected. "I HATE undead. CrystalBlue said it was a demon!" "So two questions: one, is it undead? Two, if it's not undead, is it immune to energy drain? Think about that for a second, and tell me when I come back?" (Azrien nimbly leaps out of the way of the flamestrike, then vanishes. Wild Mages get very good at dodging unpredictable explosions...) A moment later, she reappears, dragging along a tall woman in mithral full plate. The newcomer wears a gold holy symbol depicting an erupting volcano. Azrien looks over at Lomiat. "I brought a sacred exorcist! So are we banishing it, or dusting it?" The sorcerer is now holding a finely made lyre in one hand. "Ooh, pretty sphere, Lomiat, but did you dim-anchor it first? I hate demons, they always teleport out of my tentacle fields too..."
cycloptic_squirrel 04-05-07, 04:27 AM	*pulls out something from his little bag and throws it up into the air with a yelp* You will NOT be munching my meals anymore! *casts Revify from a scroll, then a Quickened Benign Transposition with, effectively raising the cute squirrel from the stomach of the fiend and switching places with it* The Revify fails as it seems there is no legal target, though the transposition antics work as stated. (Hint, there was a slight flash from the beast's mouth immediately following the crunch.) *For a moment, the demon looks bewildered. Then, very nauseous. Then, screaming in agony. The creature stops abruptly and grins as if he told a hillarious joke; the monster winks at the doggy and your head reverberates with the comment, "Immune." "Take THIS, demon. Nobody hurts my friends!" (Azrien casts Quickened Split Ray of Stupidity, then fires two Ocular Split Empowered Rays of Stupidity from her eyes as her full-round action, using Arcane Thesis: Ray of Stupidity to reduce the metamagic cost in all cases.) You get a particular guffaw from the word 'demon'. The beast looks suprised and fearful of all the unleashed spellpower; as it all fails, he smiles, winks at the sorceress, and you hear, "Immune." The dibs is duly noted. (And your actions were hilarious, even if ineffective.) Maybe you and I can just go laking while we wait for everyone to come back? :schemes: The creature blushes and smiles coyly, "Immune." Take THAT! And THAT! And another four after that! What was your flatfooted AC again? You like the 48d6 + 6d3 + 3 Con damage, don't you? Wait, what does Fires of Purity do for my damage? (I forget the stats on your daggers, so making an assumption or two...) The winged form smirks and projects, "Immu.. AHHHHH!" and mod-thought roars at a deafening volume as he is struck by the second dagger. Overall, half the attacks don't connect, but two of them that do seem to inflict pain. Oh, and make a will save vs. fear. DC 23. They're chaos-infused fires of purity! Add 15 fire damage on every hit. Probably not. Unless you've got crazy boosts for overcoming SR. but I suspect this isn't a learning experience so much as evolution in action. "I was thinking the same thing, only about the squirrel." **Does some quick math. And a Knowledge (religion) check DC 49.** "Ah! That's a demodand! Looks like a roll of a 1 on Knowledge (planes) (and I guess a 1 auto fails here). Your familiar pokes you and whispers, "MM p.55." That's enough clue for a reroll, though this guy seems to have a slightly different feat array. ...energy admixtured flame strike Assay Spell Resistance followed by an Otiluke's Resilient Sphere :blink: Um... did you just flame strike the area with the invisible halfling? Either way, a good roll of the caster level check powers through the monster's SR, though he only takes half as he ducks with an agility seemingly out of line with his large frame. (What was it admixed with?) The sphere pops in place, but the monster's previous duck turns into a roll as the chain-wielding nightmare avoids imprisonment. The hole from which the monster emerged has been steadily diminishing, and is currently about the size of a golf ball. (Correct me wherever I'm wrong here.) With a momentary glance, a fireball [51 damage, DC 19] erupts catching Lomiat, Azrien, and Azrien's new guest. A spiked chain sails out at Azrien and Lomiat accompanied by the monster's first audiable communication, a bone-chilling utterance in the Infernal language. "I'll teach you to mistake me with deamon filth." Azrien is takes two solid hits [AC 33 and 36, for 43 damage total and might be stunned (2x fort 27)]. Lomiat's brutally struck once but avoids the last attack [AC 45 and 18, 36 on the confirm, for 36 damage and might also be stunned (1x fort 27)]. Wounds heal slightly as the monster takes a solid step toward the spellcasters, taking a moment to lash out at the air that nips his heels. Powerful jaws snap three feet to the right of Liliana, but the tail that whips around catches her flat in the stomach [AC 37 for 11 damage, but she now has an infernal wound (2 hp/round)]. A brief glance at the shadowy form in the corner is followed by a comment heard only by alvin, "Take out the spell-slinging fox-thing; I'll split the loot and spare your precious squirrel as well. Impress me and I may offer you greater power." It hears in It's head, " Who's next?! You are buddy! Any last thoughts before we whip your prehensile-tailed behind?" "Ohhhh. Did some poor pseudodragon roll miserably on the reincarnation table?"
cycloptic_squirrel 04-05-07, 04:41 AM	Flashback: You look down at a mess of papers as your huge red claw continues to pen arcane scrawls. Your vision clouds slightly as the slight of your ongoing calculations is overlayed by a hazy scene of things imagined. Many slaves carrying large sacks of treasure march into your vaults. A scowling official of devilish origin checks over your documents; his rubber stamp of "DENIED" hovers but never brought down, and the scowls grow larger with each passing minute. The overlayed scenes dissipate as you hear a soft ping. With flick of your wrist, the outline of a door materializes against the smooth obsidian wall across from you. The door swings open of it's own volition, revealing the small form of an imp. You toss the bothersome imp into your fanged mouth, it's pitiful screams for mercy making the morsel even more delicious. The thought gives a small flash of pleasure. "Zolarin," you begin, motioning the small creature in, "Pit Fiends may be known for patience, but not for their tolerance of stupidity. I'd fear for your status if you disturbed my tax preparation for anything less than a new loophole allowing a higher refund claim." The tiny form flutters in and lands on your desk. Showing little of the timidity usually associated with its kind, it begins, "Lord. The halfling mage you have me "advising" has developed a new spell that I think may prove quite useful to our cause. It renders a group creatures immune to closed spells and effects for one day per level. It would take minimal resources to assure that all divisions are adequately protected." You chew slowly, savoring the taste of it's unimaginable pain. Sighing, you explain, "No one uses closed spells anymore. No one is capable. You aim to protect us from non-existent threats." "Lord, there are rumors of creatures that can still use them and planes where such effects are possible. Would you not want to prevent your forces as well as yourself from various dangers, say being summoned by a Greater Planar Binding?" At this, you burst up from your seat; rising to your full height of 13 feet, your nostrils eject bursts of flame. Towering over tiny figure, you roar, "I would enjoy that very much! After I completed whatever triviality they wanted of me, I would return to that plane at my leisure!" Calming a bit, you continue loudly, "Do you realize how many favors I used replacing my Power Word Stun with Giant Size? What I wouldn't give to find a plane where I could use it." You see yourself, an 80 foot tall behemoth of a fiend roundhouse kicking Godzilla, who falls back into multiple cardboard skyscrapers. Miniscule cardboard residents scream in agony and terror. You smile momentarily. The now cowering imp uses the brief pause to softly question, "But what about other spells like Bite of the Werewolf, Arcane Turmoil, or Wraithstrike?" Your tail whips about to grab the tiny creature and you roar again, "AND WHAT OF..." You witness yourself battling an angel. You seem to easily have the advantage, until the angel reveals a sock puppet, casts Wraithstrike, and plunges the puppet past your thick protective scales, deep into your chest. With a jerk, the sock puppet is forcibly pulled out, your still beating heart held tightly in it's cottony jaw. Vanquished, you fall to the ground; the angel and sock puppet laugh as your eyes lose thier last sign of life. You stay your tail and your eyes narrow. "See it done. Everyone."

Curse you, fiend! Also, anybody here not Good-aligned? Az, of course is a paragon of virtue (and chaos!), but I hope Min wasn't in the radius of that... Fortunately, Yolande never bothered with Divine Spell Power or Divine Metamagic :) The tall cleric smiles. "A cornugon. I've fought your sort before. Welcome... to the wrath of Hellspaar." (She could also do Assay Spell Resistance + Bead of Karma + Holy Word at CL 20 without using anything Closed, which puts her at +32 on her SR check versus this thing, but Yol doesn't Holy Word when she doesn't know her party members' alignments. The following assumes that Yol had two rounds to prebuff, due to a Feign Surprise card played when Az appeared in her temple: Az: "Yolande, fiend/undead problem, come quick!" Yol: *sigh* "Somehow, I was expecting that..." It also assumes that if the fiend was close enough to full attack three PCs at once, and then stepped towards the spellcasters, then Yol can also be in five-foot-step range. If not, she'll use spellcasting, but she gets a lot of satisfaction out of beating up fiends in melee.) Yolande, High Priestess of Hellspaar and Sacred Exorcist of Perrenland, steps deftly in next to the fiend and clicks her bootheels together, snapping the capsule on her staff and sending streaks of gleaming silver running along the thorn-spiked ash. The staff shines with holy power, and as she lands the first blow, her entire body is suffused with a fiery white light and her eyes blaze with celestial flame. (Yolande activates Boots of Speed, activates quicksilver capsule, and full attacks. Zealot Pact: Lawful Evil triggers on the first hit, I presume. Attack sequence before Zealot Pact goes off is +30/+30/+29/+25/+24/+20, I think: once one of them connects and the Pact triggers, all subsequent attacks get a +4 bonus to hit for the next 16 rounds, and deal double damage. Damage / swing is 20+3d6 on the first, second, fourth and sixth attacks, 17+1d6 on the third and fifth, doubled once the Pact kicks in, and all damage comes from a magic good-aligned silver weapon. Her AC is currently 43, and she's immune to fear, poison and fire. On the second round of combat she'll cast Quickened Recitation for another +3 to hit and +3 to her AC and saves, before full attacking, if the creature's still there. If it's okay for me to roll for myself, first attack hits AC 44. Assuming that hit and triggered the Zealot Pact, subsequent attacks hit AC 39, AC 50, AC 38, AC 32, and AC 43. If all but the AC 32 hit connected, total damage is 235 points, and three of the five hits force massive damage saves.) Azrien looks extremely shocked upon reappearing to realize that she has managed to end up in full attack range, since she's been avoiding such situations assiduously for all 12 of her levels... but casting Ruin Delver's Fortune as an immediate action and selecting Fort saves (she fears massive damage), she does, in fact, make both DC 27 Fort saves (the latter only by the skin of her teeth). She looks very unhappy, but she's still there. Having burned her swift action, and well aware of her inability to roll above 5 on SR checks (so yeah, I don't think fires of purity would be hurting him even if he wasn't immune to fire) on her turn she throws an empowered orb of force at the devil, casting defensively. She hits touch AC 28 and does 52 points of damage. (You gave him quicken spell-like ability and empower spell-like ability? That's mean. If the fireball wasn't empowered, note that they cap at 10d6, just like orb of force *grumbles*. Az made her save vs the fireball, but still took 25 points of damage, which added to the 43 puts her on, uh, "Gee, I'm glad I cast empowered false life every morning, I should probably roll that now" *rolls* *grumbles* 23 HP, plus whatever Akhamshyy's Heroes' Feast gave. If the cornugon is still alive on its next action, Yolande will delay-death Azrien if the devil attempts to attack her.)
CrystalBlue 04-05-07, 01:04 PM	(Wasn't really aware that he was being immune to that. If that's the case...I can only get up to a CL of something like 17 or 18...can't remember which...still does something, thought. Or, it better do something. Damn cheese-monster. Where's my crackers?)
Lomiat 04-05-07, 06:21 PM	"The squirrel's barely breathing, and he had the temerity to bring back RULES?!!! Like I can make a DC 15 Heal check..."
RedKnightofKet 04-05-07, 06:32 PM	I am nothing if not a gentleman, so if I'm requested to not look, then I won't look. Now if you want to make sure of that, maybe give me something else to keep me occupied? :schemes: You can use my spare tunic and I will keep watch so Red Knight dosn't peek. We are both 3ft so it should fit just fine. Would you like to row the boat or shall I?
copper_wyrmling 04-05-07, 07:06 PM	"The squirrel's barely breathing, and he had the temerity to bring back RULES?!!! Like I can make a DC 15 Heal check..." "Oh, hush. Help me destroy this hellspawn and I'll fix your friend, but right now, I can't spare the time, unless somebody's actually about to die. You also might want to do something about that planar rift." The cleric absently parries a feint from the cornugon as she speaks, her face set in concentration and her form still blazing with divine fire. (Incidentally, if anybody else in this room is Lawful Evil... Yolande knows ;) )
Japangirl 04-05-07, 07:58 PM	YOU BASTARD! I DO NOT APPRECIATE THE HOLY WORD IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS! Don't do that to me! *whimper* AC 37? You just hit me, one less would have missed :weep: . Oh well, I shall live. That was a pretty cute flamestrike, by the way, what was the DC? Oh look, I rolled a not-a-1, I'm fine. Yes, you can enjoy your sacred weapon, and take some more Con damage! That will get DR'ed, but at least the Con adds up. I've fought your kind before, I was not impressed . . .
copper_wyrmling 04-05-07, 08:17 PM	YOU BASTARD! I DO NOT APPRECIATE THE HOLY WORD IT HURTS IT HURTS IT HURTS! Don't do that to me! *whimper* (Nobody can hear you scream... superior invisibility also masks sound :( But yeah, this is why Yolande does NOT drop Holy Word nukes without first equipping vulnerable PCs with Silence stones.) AC 37? You just hit me, one less would have missed :weep: Did you count the Dex and size bonuses for being Reduced?
Japangirl 04-05-07, 08:27 PM	Yes, I did. Well, I don't get the Dex to AC because I already maxed out my armor. But I did add the size bonus and the fighting defensively bonus and the haste bonus (boots of speed) and the cover bonus, which adds up to 37. +5 armor, +3 shield, +6 dex, +2 size, +2 deflection, +1 misc (ioun stone) is 29. Then +4 cover is 33, then +3 for fighting defensively is 36, then +1 haste is 37. I can't get any higher :(. EDIT: Well, without buffs I can't get any higher. If anyone wanted to toss me a Barkskin or a morale bonus to AC or something, I wouldn't turn it down . . .

(Yolande will do a Quickened Recitation next round, if the fiend is still alive, which will give you +2, or +3 if you happen to be a worshipper of Joramy ;) And after this, hmmm, you need better armor: would +4 Magic Vestments on your armor and shield help? They last 32 hours, or 40 if she uses her karma bead...)
Akhamshyy 04-05-07, 08:54 PM	"Ohhhh. Did some poor pseudodragon roll miserably on the reincarnation table?" It hears the voice again in it's head. Do not mistake me for that which you see. Greater fiends than you have made such errors. They now cease to exist in any appreciable form. Now i shall watch as you test my comrades. Hope that they defeat you; for I will not be so tender as they with your flesh.

Yes, yes I would like +4 magic vestments on armor and shield, and yes I would like a recitation, and ooooh buffs are so much fun! That would get me up to 47! That's actually a good AC.

How about a vigorous circle in a round or two?
cheeky_ktty 04-05-07, 09:58 PM	I am nothing if not a gentleman, so if I'm requested to not look, then I won't look. Now if you want to make sure of that, maybe give me something else to keep me occupied? :schemes: Gabbie is very self-conscious about her gnome figure. So to keep you occupied you may put your talents to good use and try to figure out what type of nut is in this cookie I found. I think it may be almond or peanut.

copper_wyrmling 04-05-07, 10:09 PM	Copper offered me +4! You can give +5 :mymy: I want that! Yay for buffs :) Well, Yol can do +5 as well, but she's happy to let Akhamshyy do the buffing and save her karma bead for later use ;) You know, Akhamshyy, Holy Aura is a nice spell too...

Oh come on. Get in there and mix it up! You should do something. There is that big fiendish looking thing standing over Japangirl.
copper_wyrmling 04-05-07, 10:41 PM	Oh come on. Get in there and mix it up! You should do something. There is that big fiendish looking thing standing over Japangirl. "Excuse me?!" Yolande continues to parry blows from the cornugon, from her position right next to the fiend (assuming the 200-300 damage that I think she and Az inflicted last round didn't kill it). Azrien, looking frightened and dazed (you have no idea how rare it is for her to take this much damage!), looks hopefully at the tree frog: "How about Mass Heal? That's a nice spell too..."
CrystalBlue 04-05-07, 11:44 PM	*opens one eye as the mass vigor spell has to have one round ticked into it. He groans and looks back at the little frog on his back* Did you say something? Something about making non-existance and us challanging...a pie? I remember a pie... *blinks and tried to lick the frog, but can't reach* Oh...must not be a pie. Hello Mr. Pie...are you cherry today? I'm fine too... *gurgles and falls unconsious again as the acid damage continues for another round* (Hey, it's not my fault the froggy can seemingly hold a resivour of magical awesomeness, but when I pull out a Revify, Cloudkill, AND a Summon Main Character, I get beat down about it) (Oh, and I'm about -3...and I'm sure the squirrel's at something low too. Heals and Mass Heals would be nice...like now...)
Akhamshyy 04-05-07, 11:49 PM	"Excuse me?!"

cycloptic_squirrel 04-06-07, 02:22 PM	"The squirrel's barely breathing, and he had the temerity to bring back RULES?!!!" Come now, when's the last time the squirrel did anything that wouldn't make a rules-lawyer cry himself to sleep? I am not sure how, but you are obviously unaware of the differnece between the innane chatterings of a squirrel and NARRATOR FONT. You have no idea of the super-galactic power wielded by one who controls a narrator font. Perhaps a small demonstration is in order. AND A MIGHTY THUNDERBOLT ERUPTED FROM THE HEAVENS; IGNORING BOTH EARTH AND STONE, IT HURTLED UNERRINGLY TO THE WIZARD LOMIAT AND SMOTE HIM WHERE STOOD! Lomiat, take... sigh, 2 damage. Well, I guess now we all know how much power the narrator font really has. Enjoy...the CL 20...Holy Word...*****... The holy warrior utters but a single word, yet the entire room reverberates under the awe-inspiring raw power of the sacred vocalization; it threatens to utterly destroy any who any whose soul is not pure enough to understand its divine meaning. The horned outsider flinches, but straightens as the word washes over him and continues down the unexplored corridor. The now smiling demon winks, and in your head you hear once again, "Immune." Azrien looks extremely shocked upon reappearing to realize that she has managed to end up in full attack range, since she's been avoiding such situations assiduously for all 12 of her levels... It was implied you were within the flamestrike range, which is smaller than the beast's reach. Indoors, there's not many places a 20 foot long chain of baatorian green steel won't reach anyway. The tall cleric smiles. "A cornugon. I've fought your sort before. Welcome... to the wrath of Hellspaar." A flicker of recognition plays across an infernal visage. "The Vanquishing Flame herself. Funny, I expected taller." (Yolande does a lot of stuff that is broken even if it is completely legal and very impressive.) Azrien throws an empowered orb of force. Yolande's first hit connects and successfully sets off her pact, though of the subsequent attacks, only the third seems to reach the creature, the others seem to veer off slightly or were obstructed by a field of force [70 damage total?]. After the first hit, the dark voice in your head starts to taunt, "I suppose the 'horror' stories of your 'exploits' must be vastly..." and the thought trails as the third attack sees ash connect with throat. Combined with the stomach impact of a particularly powerful orb of force, the beast becomes subject to a prolonged coughing fit [sickened], hacking up huge gouts of black ichor and steady streams of a yellowish-green fog that rolls along the ground. The fog stops just short of the squirrel, CrystalBlue, Remi, and Akhamshyy, but Yolande, Azrien, Lomiat, and Liliana are fully engulfed and must save vs. cloudkill (though I'm not sure of the DC). The Baatezu's tail now drags along the ground instead of whipping through the air as before, a sure sign of state of his weakened state. Though the imposing form still coughs with every other breath, it grawls and spits infernal blood, defiantly holding off the remainder of Yolande's vicious attack sequence. (You gave him quicken spell-like ability and empower spell-like ability? That's mean. If the fireball wasn't empowered, note that they cap at 10d6, just like orb of force *grumbles*. What was the punishment for correcting someone using narrator font? Did you see what happened to Lomiat? Or maybe you did see. OK. Let me check that stat block. "Hey! I got all that damage fair and square!" Not without empower spell-like ability you didn't. OK, there is indeed some mean stuff here, but empower spell-like ability is not one of them. OK, the damage from that fireball should have been 35 damage. "That's not fair!" You slaughter innocents using the rules or you don't slaughter at all. "Damn you Azrien!" Damn cheese-monster. "Cheese-monster? Who cast the CL 20 Holy Word?" Speaking of which, he did imply that he was no longer using a closed feat. "Crap." The reverberation of vocal purity that faded down the hallway comes roaring back, and though the echo may be less potent than the utterance from which it originated, when the celestial syllables reach the ears of the horned outsider, he is unable to deal with the syllables of pure good and immediately struck both blind and deaf. Yes, you can enjoy your sacred weapon, and take some more Con damage! That will get DR'ed, but at least the Con adds up. I've fought your kind before, I was not impressed . . . I thought you were blind too... It hears the voice again in it's head. Do not mistake me for that which you see. Greater fiends than you have made such errors. They now cease to exist in any appreciable form. Now i shall watch as you test my comrades. Hope that they defeat you; for I will not be so tender as they with your flesh. "I see. You say you have powers? Right. Cute mind trick with the telepathy though." *hops out into battle and casts mass heal* "Crap." Blind, deaf, bleeding from several wounds, and still coughing up foul fluids, the creature shows what might be taken as a mixture of sadness and resignation, though the needle-sharp teeth and evil red eye make it somewhat hard to tell. The stooping form continues to blindly parry the attacks raining down upon him, but lessens his assault, and presents no additional offensive actions. "Finish it, fiend-slayer. But when you learn the truth of the squirrel, remember that it was your hand that struck me down. May Joramy have mercy on your soul."
Japangirl 04-06-07, 02:55 PM	Blind? Since when was I blind? You shouldn't even be able to see me, you don't have true-seeing you silly little devil. Oh, and that cloud kill I'm immune to also. I Feasted with Heroes this morning!
copper_wyrmling 04-06-07, 02:57 PM	A flicker of recognition plays across an infernal visage. "The Vanquishing Flame herself. Funny, I expected taller." "The bigger they are, the easier they are to hit. Size is overrated." Yolande sniffs. (Yol has actually managed to get to L15 as a battle cleric wthout EVER casting Righteous Might.) Yolande's first hit connects and successfully sets off her pact, though of the subsequent attacks, only the third seems to reach the creature, the others seem to veer off slightly or were obstructed by a field of force [70 damage total?]. After the first hit, the dark voice in your head starts to taunt, "I suppose the 'horror' stories of your 'exploits' must be vastly..." and the thought trails as the third attack sees ash connect with throat. Combined with the stomach impact of a particularly powerful orb of force, the beast becomes subject to a prolonged coughing fit [sickened], hacking up huge gouts of black ichor and steady streams of a yellowish-green fog that rolls along the ground. The fog stops just short of the squirrel, CrystalBlue, Remi, and Akhamshyy, but Yolande, Azrien, Lomiat, and Liliana are fully engulfed and must save vs. cloudkill (though I'm not sure of the DC). (70 damage sounds about right for those two swings. If 43 missed and 44 hit, well, I guess we know what its AC is now ;) I suppose the Holy Word took effect after Yolande's full attack? :( ) Yol is immune to the cloudkill due to her own extended heroes' feast (incidentally, the feasts of Hellspaar are open to interested paying adventurers at the usual rate of 70 gp / person for each meal, all funds are donated to the war effort in Perrenland). Those of us who partook of Akhamshyy's heroes' feast should be okay too, although from memory Az shot off to burn off excess magical energy halfway through, so she probably does need to save... except that ruin delver's fortune gives immunity to poison :) "Damn you Azrien!" *eyes fill with tears* "Are you saying you don't like me? Just because I zapped you with astral fire and damped down your fireball?" Blind, deaf, bleeding from several wounds, and still coughing up foul fluids, the creature does nothing but continue to blindly parry the attacks raining down upon him. The stooping form lessens his assault, and presents no additional offensive actions. "Finish it, fiend-slayer. But when you learn the truth of the squirrel, remember that it was your hand struck me down." "Feh. I know better than to change my course based on a baatezu's word. Die and return to the hell from whence you came!" (although someone will have a certain amount of explaining to do after this... Yol would spare a mortal opponent's life at this point, but devils cause far too much trouble if you leave them alive.) Yolande casts Quickened Recitation and continues her full attack. (I did not roll well, but hopefully being blinded and sickened is giving him some penalties... full attack at +37/+37/+36/+32/+31/+27 comes out at: AC 52, 55 damage AC 41, 54 damage AC 48, 42 damage AC 36, 50 damage AC 50 (crit threat, only 39 to confirm), 45 damage or 84 if crit confirmed AC 29, 53 damage) Rolling 20% miss chances for the Cloudkill, the fourth attack misses, all others have a chance to hit.) Azrien smiles gratefully at Akhamshyy and moves through the Cloudkill towards the rapidly diminishing rift in space, staring at it in curiosity and seeing if she can manipulate it by concentration. EDIT: Japangirl, I believe the Narrator Text thinks you're blind due to the CL17-18 Holy Word. Or has Liliana seen the light?

cycloptic_squirrel 04-06-07, 03:07 PM	Blind? Since when was I blind? You shouldn't even be able to see me, you don't have true-seeing you silly little devil. Oh, and that cloud kill I'm immune to also. I Feasted with Heroes this morning! Holy word? And the devil doesn't see you, for at least three different reasons, I think. Though for similair reasons I'm not sure Akhamshyy can see/target you with the mass heal. So you might have to deal with the holy word effects yourself. And what exactly were your daggers again? I made some assumtions to calculate damage, but it's getting really close, so some stats would help.
Japangirl 04-06-07, 03:37 PM	+1 sacred dagger, +1 wounding dagger. Neither is silver, they're both just plain steel. The Sacred gives it good aligned and +2d6 against evil outsiders. I have +7d6 sneak attack. I do six attacks a round, hitting 4 times with the wounding and 2 times with the sacred (potentially). Attack routine of +24/+24/+24/+19/+19/+14 against flat-footed AC. As a tiny creature with +3 magic weapons, doing 1d2+2 base damage before sneak attack.
cycloptic_squirrel 04-06-07, 04:39 PM	"Die and return to the hell from whence you came!" Say the thing arrived via some sort of planar gate. I don't think killing it would send it back to the hell it came from, though I'm not sure Yolande particularly cares. Yolande casts Quickened Recitation and continues her full attack. AC 52, 55 damage Hold. Yolande pauses for but a moment, blessing those around her with one of Joramy's shorter holy phrases. Unmoved by the devil's cryptic warning, Yolande mercilessly continues her assault and easily connects, the thorny protrusions of her staff digging deeply into the creatures scaly bulk. The blow is easily enough to put the creature into the realm of the dead. The cornugon's one eye closes and the the form begins to slump. At the instant the creature's last breath should escape, its infernal form is engulfed by an unholy glow. Wounds reknit. Lungs clear. It's central eye no longer wavers about unseeingly. Massive leg gashes close and stop their incredible blood loss. The bruise left by an orb's terrible impact completely heals over. The cornugon catches itself from it's fall of death and rises, making the most of it's imposing ten foot stature. Undaunted, Yolande continues her offensive, landing heavy blows with her third and fifth attacks, missing with others that would have surely hit only moments ago. Azrien smiles gratefully at Akhamshyy and moves through the Cloudkill towards the rapidly diminishing rift in space, staring at it in curiosity and seeing if she can manipulate it by concentration. Using the cover of the fog, Azrien is able to avoid the attacks of opportunity from the large chain-wielding devil. Approaching the rift, she can see through the fog a flurrying form of bright light doing battle with a larger winged form of darkness. The rift itself has shrunk to the size of a small coin, and stubbornly resists her attempts at mental control. There is a toothy grin from the devil as he takes a step backward into the fog. "Let us continue, but let us see how the battle progresses without the favors Joramy." Through the fog you can see the huge shadow pull something from his body and unfurl it. There are some arcane phrases spoken in a tongue unused to their regular use, and a good portion of the fog dissipates revealing the last of the scroll disintegrating into dust. The beast looks down and smiles at the now visible halfling in front of him, once again speaking in an infernal language, "Why, hello little one!" Azrien watches the rift wink out instantly and finds herself barely concealed by the fog that ends abruptly about a foot in front of her. Though only a span of five feet seperate her from the beast, the paradoxical safety of the cloudkill is only a five foot step away. Yolande stands a space of five feet removed from the now gleeful devil, though unrobbed of her magical enhancements at this distance, she recognizes that her spells will not currently avail her against this threat.
Japangirl 04-06-07, 04:54 PM	In front? Oh no, sir, I am right underneath you. By the way, that loincloth is concealing something decidedly . . . unimpressive. Shall I demonstrate just what I think of your dispel magic?
cycloptic_squirrel 04-06-07, 05:12 PM	+1 sacred dagger, +1 wounding dagger. Neither is silver, they're both just plain steel. The Sacred gives it good aligned and +2d6 against evil outsiders. I have +7d6 sneak attack. I do six attacks a round, hitting 4 times with the wounding and 2 times with the sacred (potentially). Attack routine of +24/+24/+24/+19/+19/+14 against flat-footed AC. As a tiny creature with +3 magic weapons, doing 1d2+2 base damage before sneak attack. Wow. OK. So you hit more often than expected (including a crit), but I was also anticipating silver. So not much changed from estimations (beyond painful, painful Con damage ;) ). In front? Oh no, sir, I am right underneath you. There is a toothy grin from the devil as he takes a step backward into the fog. So in front. Unless of course, you're claiming a move action. Or I suppose you could have been in a square unadjecent to Yolande. OK, underneath still. Please allow me to correct a prior statement. The beast looks down and smiles at the now visible halfling at his feet, once again speaking in an infernal language, "Why, hello little one!" Shall I demonstrate just what I think of your dispel magic? Not dispel magic, try again. Oh, and you're no longer tiny. Any other neat magical effects I can tell you you don't have? Please?
Japangirl 04-06-07, 05:30 PM	If it's an antimagic field, my AC drops a lot and I lose +3 hit/damage from a greater magic weapon. I lose an ioun stone, an animated shield, 1 AC from dex, 1 AC from magic armor, 2 from a ring. So still standing underneath the cornugon, I have a new AC of (armor +4, dex +5, size +1, cover +4) 24. *gulp* I also lose my Cloak of Displacement (20% miss chance).
cycloptic_squirrel 04-06-07, 05:51 PM	If it's an antimagic field... *gulp* Yep, everything pretty much drop from the air, you grow, become as klutzy (relatively speaking) as you were before, etc. The silver lining is that the large devil-thing used his turn to cast the stupid thing, so I think you have an action before he does. The bad thing is that you can't fashion said lining into a weapon and beat him to death with it. :P
Japangirl 04-06-07, 06:16 PM	He will still feel my wrath! I attack now at +20/+20/+15/+15/+10 against flatfooted AC, so still not awful, though they don't count as good or wounding anymore. 1d3+7d6 per hit, minus DR.
Lomiat 04-06-07, 06:58 PM	Lomiat looks up from the unexpected energy wounds on his body. "Didn't evade?" Looking at Liliana, and somehow managing to Sense her curiosity about the devil's DR, he says, "Oh, don't worry, Liliana, it can't resist your weapons in the antimagic. All of its supernatural defenses are down. And that reminds me..." Lomiat concentrates for a full round and casts a spell on his familiar, shutting off magic for 10 feet around it. Unexpectedly, though, the familiar remains an invisible chimera of DOOM! "Here's a riddle for you, horned devil. What do you call a devil who's lost his immunity to fire when the flaming chimera sets after him with a full attack?" (With all the buffs and the Extraordinary Spell Aimed Antimagic Field, Isis is currently an invisible chimera with an AC of 47, and an attack sequence of +24/24/24 for 2d6+8+3d6 sneak+12 fire AND +24 for 1d8+8+3d6 sneak+12 fire AND +22/22 for 1d6+5+3d6 sneak+12 fire. Add 2 to all of its attacks for being invisible.)
Timlagor 04-06-07, 09:40 PM	Not watching the cricket? I'm sure this dungeon gets the BBC... I despise cricket.
copper_wyrmling 04-06-07, 11:35 PM	Say the thing arrived via some sort of planar gate. I don't think killing it would send it back to the hell it came from, though I'm not sure Yolande particularly cares. Nah, not especially ;) Killing it permanently is even better. There is a toothy grin from the devil as he takes a step backward into the fog. "Let us continue, but let us see how the battle progresses without the favors Joramy." "My strength is meaningless without the favor of Joramy. But negate her power? You?" Yolande laughs. Through the fog you can see the huge shadow pull something from his body and unfurl it. There are some arcane phrases spoken in a tongue unused to their regular use, and a good portion of the fog dissipates revealing the last of the scroll disintegrating into dust. The beast looks down and smiles at the now visible halfling in front of him, once again speaking in an infernal language, "Why, hello little one!" Azrien watches the rift wink out instantly and finds herself barely concealed by the fog that ends abruptly about a foot in front of her. Though only a span of five feet seperate her from the beast, the paradoxical safety of the cloudkill is only a five foot step away. Yolande stands a space of five feet removed from the now gleeful devil, though unrobbed of her magical enhancements at this distance, she recognizes that her spells will not currently avail her against this threat. "Bah. Antimagic is the last refuge of those who seek to hide from the justice of the gods. Yet that will be your undoing in the end, fiend!" (Now, a question (you brought back the rules, your fault ;) ): we can see where the AMF is, because it's where the Cloudkill isn't. If it's a normal 10ft radius spread, centred on a large creature, then there should be corner points to which we can five-foot-step and attack him - although of course any enhancements on the weapon used to strike into the field will probably be suppressed. Is this correct? AAA _ _ (something like this?) A_ |_|_|_ |_ |C C|_|Y |_ |C C|_| AA|_|_| And a second question: if Yol stands outside the field and attacks into it, would she also lose her personal enhancement spells (divine power, etc) for the purpose of that attack? If not, she would five-foot-step and make a full attack with her staff (which would be effectively masterwork), but if her self-buffs would be ineffective with a non-reach weapon, or my little diagram is wrong and she can't actually reach him without entering the AMF, she will drop the staff, draw a silver-tipped masterwork longspear, and attack with that - she bought said longspear, and a cold iron version, after the LAST time she fought evil outsiders with permanent antimagic fields.) If using the staff, attacks are at +31/+31/+30/+26/+26/+21, if using the longspear there's only a single attack this round at +32, because I can't find my Swift Response card and can't check if it allows a fast draw :( Attack rolls: 10, 15, 10, 4, 16, 17 Concealment miss chances, if necessary: all pass Damage with staff: 27, 29, 17, 31, 22, 28 Damage with spear: 35 (I think in the second round I stacked two bonuses that shouldn't have stacked (to-hit bonuses on recitation and divine favor). Take 3 off all the attack rolls in the last round, although I don't think that changes the result, since of the attacks that actually hit, the lowest was AC 48 -> 45. I hope at least 3-4 points of that AC was coming from spells and spell-likes...) Yolande nods to the newly visible halfling. "Let me know if you need a flank partner." Azrien attempts to identify the devil's healing effect (contingency? fortunate fate? renewal pact?) and gets 41 on Spellcraft. As the antimagic field goes up (she auto-makes the spellcraft check), her eyes flare blue-white. In Draconic (it's a good language for threats and curses), she murmurs calmly, "May you be cursed for all eternity to the infinite horrors of the Abyss and all the torments that its demons can conceive..." As Lomiat casts his own antimagic field, she gives him a VERY nasty look. From her position on the edge of the Cloudkill, she casts Guided Shot, attuning herself to the currents of magic and letting them guide her spell through the mists, and then fires another empowered orb of force at the fiend. (Sad but true: antimagic field has no effect on instantaneous conjurations. Apparently it's a nonmagical ball of force...) This time the orb only strikes touch AC 21, but hopefully that's enough, with his buffs down... damage is 46 points. Azrien then steps back into total concealment.
cycloptic_squirrel 04-07-07, 10:13 AM	OK, the abuse of a narrator font won't fly forever. And though I'm sure adding another persona to this thread is a great idea, I'm not sure of a better way of doing it, what with the squirrel *cough* inactive at the moment, the devil already far too close to me deciding he's a lot of fun and I should turn him good and keep him, and the casual use of narrator font robbing it of most of its power. Besides, I'm responsible for what, half a dozen entities already? I doubt another will break the thread. Not that I could break this thread if I tried. Though if I wanted too, I suppose this wouldn't be a bad way to go about it... So hopefully I can have this devil kill you off quickly and we can get back to whatever the main point of this thread was. Oh, before I forget about it, CrystalBlue, even though that Holy Word might have had some serious repercussions, I thought the sequence was dramatic and overall pretty damn cool. Anyway. Lomiat looks up from the unexpected energy wounds on his body. "Didn't evade?" Yeah, that's right. No save vs. Narrator text. Now that I've forsworn it's abuse it should be even more powerful, so don't mess with me. :mage: Lomiat concentrates for a full round and casts a spell on his familiar, shutting off magic for 10 feet around it. Unexpectedly, though, the familiar remains an invisible chimera of DOOM! I'm not sure I agree with this, but is definitely within the spirit of the brokenness of the share spell ability; the Extraordinary Spell Aim and Anit-Magic Field combo is just evil. Ah, C'est la vie. Just wait until Yolande learns that devils know of this feat too. And they can apply it to scrolls. :evillaugh "Here's a riddle for you, horned devil. What do you call a devil who's lost his immunity to fire when the flaming chimera sets after him with a full attack?" The devil looks quizzically at you and it's obvious he doesn't quite understand what you said, though the general tone and confidence of your voice conveys a general meaning. You hear the whisper of infernal words, the devil muttering under his breath, "Crap. He's got something." I despise cricket. "That's not the Timlagor I know." you brought back the rules, your fault ;) sigh. I suppose a large share of the responsibility is mine. But you're partially guilty as well. You could've just let the guy eat everyone, but noooooo, you had to go grab someone who apparently battles these things regularly and make a fight of it. The same goes for everyone else here as well. Except RedKnight. He's been nothing but a gentleman. Now, a question... OK, here's what I'm using for sources: PHB 200, DMG 290, and FAQ 39. Quick and simple: defensively you get whatever bonuses you're entitled depending on where you're standing. If either combatant is in an antimagic field, neither gets any offensive bonuses. This is mostly based on the FAQ. That's more of a broad, catch-all personal interpretation though, and since we're dealing in a specific case I think we can allow some leeway for common sense. Well, as much as you can apply to interactions between high level magical effects in a fantasy world. Let's see, you're outside the field, attacking in, I'd say your luck, morale, haste, and insight bonuses, as well divine power upgrades, since they all more or less act on you. (With everything that seems reasonable makes me question my interpretation of the FAQ :thinks: ) Everything on the weapon is out, and I can't think of an interpretation where your Zealot Pact continues to function. Or rather, it still functions, just not against anyone whose alignment cannot be determined by the pact. I'm assuming the determination is a supernatural effect; I can't think of anything offhand that determines alignment or functionally alignment dependent that is extraordinary. Supernatural determination not possible leads to no pact benefits. (This perusal lead to the realization that undead in an AMF can't be turned, which maybe you all knew, but surprised me; it shouldn't have, but it did). The important question that we all are pretty sure of the answer but has to be asked anyway... is anyone else in the room Lawful Evil? Because if you are and my interpretation holds... ok, so you're not going to have one buffed cleric coming after you (I'm assuming Yolande would rather let the pact go, but weirder things have happened in this thread), but the thought amuses me. :angelhide I don't really like the thought that you could attack the thing without getting in the field since it's a ten foot emanation centered on him and I have a hard time seeing Yolande hit with a quarterstaff at that range. But, those are how the rules work and even though it's an artifact of the game mechanics, this is something I'm willing to live with. Have fun with your beatstick. Though it's not so beaty any more.:evillaugh No miss chance, as the devil isn't in fog, and even with a longspear a corner of your choice could make it to all of his corners without passing though fog. Funny thing about swift response, it doesn't allow you to draw a weapon but does allow you to retrieve a stowed item. You could always rule that sheathed is a subset of stowed and therefore covered, but you can both sheathe a weapon and stow an item with quick response, so I'm thinking no. So now with a swift action you cannot draw your longspear, but you could get it out if it was stowed in a pack out of easy reach. Crazy. Yep, that was a good ol' fortunate fate. Worked better than I expected. Since there was a significant amount of non-lethal... shoot. :shifty: so instead of doing the revisionist history thing as well as trying to explain how this guy acquired an 18th caster level scroll of contingency, I think I might just claim that unconsciousness in front of a) a battle cleric at the beginning of a fully buffed attack sequence b) a halfling with a hefty number of sneak attack damage and a sacred dagger c) some Heironian who's able to get to CL 18 on a holy word d) a wizard and his familiar of doom e) a tree-frog with clerical power of a small nation f) RedKnight and especially g) all of the above would qualify as "an effect that would kill it." Are there any big objections to this? If so, we can discuss the odds that the cornugon would actually live past the next 3 seconds, then we can discuss semantics. Oh, and I guess (f) might only get your ear nibbled on if you happen to be a cute hellspawn. (Sad but true: antimagic field has no effect on instantaneous conjurations. Apparently it's a nonmagical ball of force...) :uh-huh: OK, ignoring that I have no moral high ground to stand on after that last bit, but what!?! Where are you getting this? There is the bit about create water in the PHB, but I'm pretty sure that just means the water doesn't wink out after creation, not that you are allowed to create it inside. You might have a point if some part of the orb remained afterward, but it's not like when you miss there's an orb of force that rolls along the floor and comes to rest against the back of the wall. The orb is in existence for less than a turn. It can resolve as you suggest, just to keep this rolling, but if your opinion on this is that strong I'd love to start another thread and get more of your perspective on this issue. Ugh... that's a lot of ruley stuff. I think I'd better get some feedback before I continue.

AND A MIGHTY TREMBLING SHOOK THE ROOM AND MOMENTARILY UNBALANCED ALL THOSE CONTAINED WITHIN. (Except for Liliania, and if she has 10 ranks in balance like I think she might, a DC 20 balance check is good for a free flat footed AoO against your opponent.)

THE ASSUREDLY DOOMED SOUL HURTLED TO THE DEPTHS OF THE EARTH NEVER TO BE HEARD FROM AGAIN! Oh yeah! :ayyyy!: That'll teach 'im. Lomiat, if you move next turn, you must make a DC 5 balance check or your speed is reduced by five feet for one round as you trip over a slight depression that appeared in the floor. :censored: You're trying to get this cool font revoked aren't you? Or just water down it's powers to almost nothing. Either way, you will get yours.
Lomiat 04-07-07, 01:32 PM	Lomiat floats over the new crack in the floor with his Overland Flight (cast every day preceding an adventure). "See, Azrien? Flying's great for all sorts of encounters, just like we'd discussed." (Will save vs Doom = [1d20+15] = Nat 1.) Lomiat feels Doomed anyway.
Timlagor 04-07-07, 01:39 PM	There is only one Timlagor.. and I despise Cricket.
copper_wyrmling 04-07-07, 02:10 PM	OK, here's what I'm using for sources: PHB 200, DMG 290, and FAQ 39. Quick and simple: defensively you get whatever bonuses you're entitled depending on where you're standing. If either combatant is in an antimagic field, neither gets any offensive bonuses. This is mostly based on the FAQ. That's more of a broad, catch-all personal interpretation though, and since we're dealing in a specific case I think we can allow some leeway for common sense.

(With everything that seems reasonable makes me question my interpretation of the FAQ :thinks: ) Everything on the weapon is out, and I can't think of an interpretation where your Zealot Pact continues to function. Or rather, it still functions, just not against anyone whose alignment cannot be determined by the pact. Hmm! That's a very interesting point. I'm actually not sure how I'd rule on that one - I'm 99% sure that Yol no longer gets the automatic knowledge of its alignment (this was really clear in CD, where it said "as if the appropriate detection spells had been cast" - not so clear now), but the effect as written isn't dependent on that knowledge, it works as: (a) double damage on all melee attacks for the spell duration (b) if you fail to attack a foe of opposite alignment in any given round, the spell ends (technically, the way it's written, if fighting a creature of appropriate alignment and its Neutral ally, you could take your first attack on the evil beastie and then the rest of them on the Neutral while still getting the double damage, but that's sufficiently clearly against the spirit of the spell that I wouldn't try it) So the question is, can the spell know what somebody's alignment is if they're in an AMF? A similar case... say a contingency is set to activate "if any entity draws a weapon within sixty feet of me", and the entity drawing said weapon is in an AMF at the time... can the spell still detect their action? I honestly don't know how I would rule on this. On the one hand, unless the devil has had a sudden alignment change, Yol IS still meeting the requisites for the spell (nothing requires her to know the alignment of the thing she's attacking, although normally she gets it for free). On the other hand, it's magic that's making her attacks strike harder against her deity's enemies: how does it know which ones are bad guys if they're in an AMF? At anybody else's table... they're the GM :) (This perusal lead to the realization that undead in an AMF can't be turned, which maybe you all knew, but surprised me; it shouldn't have, but it did). More importantly, vampire shadowdancers in an AMF can neither energy drain nor hide in plain sight. We learned the hard way, a couple of years ago, that not even authors who put both beholders and vampire shadowdancers in their modules are necessarily aware of this :( I don't really like the thought that you could attack the thing without getting in the field since it's a ten foot emanation centered on him and I have a hard time seeing Yolande hit with a quarterstaff at that range. But, those are how the rules work and even though it's an artifact of the game mechanics, this is something I'm willing to live with. Have fun with your beatstick. Though it's not so beaty any more.:evillaugh Yeah, in a time-limited situation I'd just use a longspear rather than asking the GM for that (quite seriously, it's why I bought the things, after being completely and utterly ineffectual in a certain Iuz mod where most of the encounters were against melee-monsters with personal antimagic fields). Actually, in this situation in a real game, having figured out that the Zealot Pact wasn't working I'd probably move to flank with Liliana and ready an action to heal her if she came out of the AMF. Combat rogues are about the best characters in the game for doing damage in AMFs, if you can keep them alive (raging barbarians are okay too but tend to depend more on getting bonuses to hit from buffs, so they can PA more) :) OK, ignoring that I have no moral high ground to stand on after that last bit, but what!?! Where are you getting this? Yeah, that's pretty much how I reacted when someone first told me that ;) I've had this argument used by players on my tables: I've never tried it as a player, because Az has been fortunate enough not to encounter many AMFs. The reasoning is an appeal to the RAW: (1) "The effects of instantaneous conjurations are not affected by an antimagic field because the conjuration itself is no longer in effect, only its result" (2) Description of Orb of X: Conjuration (Creation), Duration: Instantaneous, Effect: One orb of X. The orbs should really be evocations (of course, then they wouldn't ignore SR), but the way they're written, you are in fact creating a ball of nonmagical force / cold / acid / fire / electricity / sonic energy and impelling it at some poor creature. Yay, D&D Physics... I'm pretty sure that just means the water doesn't wink out after creation, not that you are allowed to create it inside. Of course, you can't cast spells in an AMF. The orbs are Effect, not Targeted, though: they appear at your hand and then get thrown (apparently). Hmmmm... trying to remember how I argued against this last time it came up, because I thought it was stupid... you can argue that the AMF blocks line of effect for the orbs. Now I'm trying to remember what somebody said that convinced me that didn't apply... aargh. So no, my opinion on it isn't that strong, but it's worth asking when playing Az, because she is otherwise utterly and totally ineffective against somebody in an AMF (well, I guess she could try to intimidate or diplomacize them). Az likes her magic ;) Ugh... that's a lot of ruley stuff. I think I'd better get some feedback before I continue. Down with the rules arguments (sorry for provoking them)! Back to our normal insanity! Revising the effects of my last round... Azrien perks up and shouts, "Wait! I know how to deal with this! To the Den Zauber storerooms!" For the first time, Yolande looks afraid. "Azrien! No! NOT THE -" Her protest is cut off as she barely dodges a blow from the fiend. Azrien vanishes. A moment later, she reappears, holding a small metal loop in one hand and looking triumphant. A black sphere of utter darkness pops into existence 30ft away from her. (Hey, I didn't think you could teleport with a sphere of annihilation either, but an NPC did it, so...) Azrien points dramatically at the direction of the devil (which may be dead by now, not sure) and cries, "Go get him!" (And then the randomness of the d20 roll strikes again...) The sphere twitches, and then floats 10ft towards Azrien. "Uh..." Azrien backs away. "Little help?" Yolande rolls her eyes and mutters something intensely uncomplimentary about Perrenland's major arcane guild.
Japangirl 04-07-07, 09:51 PM	Black sphere of doom? I've seen those before! *Runs out from under the devil, twisting and dodging so that the cornugon can't hit her, and runs into the opposite side of the room from the sphere* I don't think I can help you, but we could switch places? The magic lets me swap friends sometimes.
CrystalBlue 04-08-07, 11:55 AM	(Yay! I got praised! That cleric I brought in was a Summon Ally spell...he's not planer yet, just level 14 with Prayer Beads. Hence why he's getting his Holy Word up to 18. Had to retrain DSP...damn circle of jackasses...) *Crystal gives a blink and looks up, the Mass Heal coupled with the intense rumbling of the cavern waking him up from his dream-like state. He shakes his fur and stands up* Did we win yet? I was having a dream about chasing squirrels and... *looks over at the one-eyed rodent to his left* Squirrel...you ok yet? *pads over and noses the little guy* Squirrel... *tears up as dramatic music begins to play, drowning out the sounds of battle and caverns falling in upon themselves* (And thank you for the compliment. Yes, I know people in my party are not all good aligned...but at the time, I found it neccesary to dispose of the demon. We could always Raise Dead, and I do have a full-price True Rez favor...so I'm not too worried about dropping holy words like that. :D)
Genghis Cohen 04-08-07, 07:20 PM	My dwarf died yesterday. For the fourth time. I guess that an AC of 12 doesn't cut it.
cheeky_ktty 04-09-07, 09:25 PM	OH, I'm joining you - never turning down a chance to go laking with two...ummm.... let's see, I get that one's a gnome, but what are you? I am (depending on the situation) a halfling, or I can be human.... whatever works best :D Katali is a halfling (lightfoot).
cycloptic_squirrel 04-10-07, 06:31 AM	OK, I reread Zealot Pact, and I'm not convinced you'd get the extra damage against a target in an AMF, but that'd be heavily dependent on table variation. Unless a spell mentions how it knows things, I'd assume it was supernatural. Thus you couldn't set off a Zealot Pact or a Contingency, but that's just my take. Reading through the pact, I also got the impression that it wouldn't necessarily end if you didn't attack a creature of the specified alignment, only if you could have and then didn't. Which leads me to question if you could say... have an ally summon a lemure/dretch, you cleave through it, and you get a Zealot Pact the rest of the battle. In a home game, I'd smite you. In LG, I'm not sure if I could do more than ridicule you. As for the area affected by Antimagic Field, I'm going to suggest that we close off the corners of the diagram that was previously presented. To do otherwise would suggest that even a medium caster would have a spot where they could be attacked by a buffed opponent. It's blatantly ignoring the rules, of course, but they're made to be broken, right? Oh, and for the record, I got to play around with leadership this weekend. Cohorts kick ass. Of course, you can't cast spells in an AMF. The orbs are Effect, not Targeted, though: they appear at your hand and then get thrown (apparently). Hmmmm... trying to remember how I argued against this last time it came up, because I thought it was stupid... you can argue that the AMF blocks line of effect for the orbs. Now I'm trying to remember what somebody said that convinced me that didn't apply... aargh. Grrr... I don'ts like it I don'ts. If it came up in a game I was running I'd probably just say it's magic, it doesn't work. Pushed on the subject I'd probably argue with a strategy of 1) Does the spell deal damage? a) yes - then the spell deals damage, doesn't work in AMF b) no, the orb deals damage - then no metamagic feats can be applied to increase the damage dealt by the orbs; this might be questioned, as most say all variable numeric effects, but allowing it to apply to orb damage leads to ugly things like a summed creature dealing empowered damage using the same logic. I'd be somewhat asinine using such arguments, but the idea of shooting orbs into AMF really bothers me. If I was pushed really hard, I'd probably relent, but then you might have a sulky DM (not a threat, just a personal observation that I wish I could change), and that probably wouldn't be good. All I've really come up with is that most of the new damage conjurations (which includes the orbs) really are better as evocations. Ah, C'est la vie. Down with the rules arguments (sorry for provoking them)! Back to our normal insanity! Oh, come on. For a thread with no apparent subject, rules were bound to come up. (That and throwing rules back in was the only way to keep a villain around for more than half a round. :P ) I wouldn't call it a rules argument so much as a discussion, which, for what its worth, has been thought provoking, at least for me. And calling insanity 'normal' surely says something about a person's state of mind. ;) Azrien vanishes. A moment later, she reappears, holding a small metal loop in one hand and looking triumphant. A black sphere of utter darkness pops into existence 30ft away from her. The devil looks taken aback, and you hear a low rumble of infernal, "Crap." Azrien points dramatically at the direction of the devil and cries, "Go get him!" The devil looks like he doesn't quite comprehend what was said, but obviously understands the tone and gesture and there's another phrase in infernal, "Double crap." The sphere twitches, and then floats 10ft towards Azrien. The winged form gives a look of relief and grins at the the Joramite. After pulling out a longspear, she was able to hit him quite solidly [35 damage], the antimagic field only depriving the devil of his own magical wards. Already at half strength, the corugon smiles at his new opportunity for revenge. A short step brings the cleric within the field of antimagic and all her protections vanish. With a low laugh, a guttural voice spits in a hellish tongue, "After the destruction you've wrought upon our plans, you'd make a fine trophy. Though a trophy that can feel pain is a prize that continues to please." With that, a viscous series of attacks begin, the first struck for subdual: chain: AC 34 for 19 subdual and DC 27 fort save or stunned chain: AC 26 for 25 and DC 27 fort save or stunned chain: AC 34 for 22 and DC 27 fort save or stunned chain: AC 20 for 26 and DC 27 fort save or stunned bite: AC 34 for 10 tail: AC 25 for 12 and an infernal wound *Crystal gives a blink and looks up, the Mass Heal coupled with the intense rumbling of the cavern waking him up from his dream-like state. He shakes his fur and stands up* Did we win yet? You get a glance from the infernal beast and a guttural voice calls to you in draconic, "I didn't realize you joined my side, but at least one of you is smart enough to save their own skin. And we haven't won quite yet; do something about that chick with the orb." Squirrel... There is no response from the squirrel. The furry body remains motionless. There is only one Timlagor.. and I despise Cricket. "You've changed. And I can't say it's been a good change. Don't you remember? It's like you don't even care anymore!"
CrystalBlue 04-10-07, 07:46 AM	*whines over the body of the squirrel, still utterly confused about all of this. He raises his head to the fiend and growls* Since when did I join your side, hellspawn? You killed my squirrel friend...and if I had access to half the powers I'm suppose to, I'd have left you a stain on the stone wall behind you. *starts to rifle through his bag, looking for something to help him out* Damn it...I don't have anything to Raise Dead. I already summoned Remi once...I can't do that twice a day... *begins to whimper, frantically trying to find a magical item to...* Wait a minute...something's not right here... *his ears poke up and he looks down to the squirrel's monocle. He snatches it and holds it up with one paw to the monster* Something about you just doesn't look right...let's have another look, shall we?
copper_wyrmling 04-10-07, 01:19 PM	And calling insanity 'normal' surely says something about a person's state of mind. ;) Oh, come on. I play Azrien (and love every moment of it) :) The winged form gives a look of relief and grins at the the Joramite.

"Someone... kill... it... NOW!" (The sad thing is that this is going much better than the last time Yolande fought melee-monsters with personal antimagic fields... they jumped our poor fighter and he went from full HP to deep negatives before anyone got an action (and this was a tank two levels above the APL). Yolande couldn't do anything to help him: he burned the favor of a greater deity to survive.) You get a glance from the infernal beast and a guttural voice calls to you in draconic, "I didn't realize you joined my side, but at least one of you is smart enough to save their own skin. And we haven't won quite yet; do something about that chick with the orb." Speaking of which... Azrien's eyes narrow as she stares fixedly at the sphere. (+26 on a DC 30 sphere control check and I rolled a 3 the first round. Second round wasn't much better, but a 4 is enough...) (in red-dragon-accented Draconic) "I said, curse you for all eternity to the infinite horrors of the Abyss and all the torments that its demons can conceive! DIE, magic-murderer!" She raises her hand and points. The sphere seems to resist her control for a moment, but then slides smoothly through the air. The antimagic field provides no protection against the dark globe, and it strikes the fiend solidly in the chest. And then... (cycloptic, do you want to do the description of what happens next?) (If you want a ranged touch attack, Az got 31. If I'd rolled a little higher, we could consider the question of whether you can crit with a sphere of annihilation ;) )
cycloptic_squirrel 04-10-07, 04:28 PM	But, but, the devil was so COOL! Fine! He'll die. Then again, it is kinda set up as him or everyone else. And as intriguing as he's become, he's not nearly as engaging as the rest of you. :P "I said, curse you for all eternity to the infinite horrors of the Abyss and all the torments that its demons can conceive! DIE, magic-murderer!" Almost reflexively, the corugon's chain lashes out at the dark orb hurtling toward him. Baatorian green steel connects with nothingness and is ripped from powerful arms as it collapses into nothingness. The loss of his weapon allows the devil a split second to tear his attention from his nearly vanquished foe. Realization dawns almost too late and the beast turns his full attention to the sphere. The sphere hiccups as a second consciousness tries to wrest control from Azrien. The effort is in vain, as the wild mage's control is too strong and too well established; the sphere slams into the dark form. Time seems to slow for a brief instant as the fiend's chest collapses into the sphere. Several sharp cracks are heard as ribs are snapped as several parts of beast's massive frame race to be destroyed before the others. Instinctively, an arm reaches to push the orb away, but is annihilated in turn and only serves to hasten the creature's demise. A deafening roar of pain, agony, and suffering emanate past the devil's sharpened teeth before they too are consumed by the ever-hungry ball of nothingness. The last sign of the hellish opponent is the same as the first, only this time the large clawed hand disappears into a bright point of light, which quickly fades to nothing on the surface of the sphere. Even though it is obvious that it was the Sphere of Annihilation that tore into the poor devil's chest and ripped his heart apart, debate will rage amongst poets and dramatists as to whether there was much of a heart left to destroy after he learned of Timlagor's betrayal of their beloved cricket. Some even go on to say that if you press your ear close to that particular Sphere of Annihilation, you'll still hear cries of infernal anguish, "Why Timlagor? Why!?!" Wait a minute...something's not right here... *his ears poke up and he looks down to the squirrel's monocle. He snatches it and holds it up with one paw to the monster* Something about you just doesn't look right...let's have another look, shall we? As CrystalBlue peers through the magical eyepiece, he sees nothing but the same dark form battling Yolande, struck by an orb of inky blackness, and disappear forever. Though out of the corner of his eye, he does manage to catch a small one-eyed imp scribbling notes. The spectator watches the macabre scene of the corugon's demise with a mixture of deep fear and perverse glee. After the last echo of the devils cries of torment die, the tiny creature makes a series of quick motions and disappears. Oh, come on. I play Azrien (and love every moment of it) :) It's kinda cute that you feel the need to justify yourself to someone whose been portraying a squirrel of limited intelligence for the last two months. :rolleyes:

Maybe, in some distant corner of the multiverse, the cornugon still plots revenge... the wild mage's control is too strong and too well established Now that's something Azrien doesn't hear often ;) (Last game: Azrien goes to cast Greater Magic Weapon on Lawful Neutral Pholtan monk: "May the powers of chaos infuse you!" *casts* (rolls 1 on caster level dice, which means it's a +2 GMW rather than +3) *fizzle* "Hmmm, that didn't seem to work as well as it should have. Magic, you did it wrong, you're supposed to make him better than that!" *casts* (rolls another 1) *fizzle* (to monk) "The Chaos doesn't seem to like you, do you have any idea why?" Next morning: "Okay, let's try this again. Magic, I know he's unfortunately Lawful, but he hangs out with Mareyl, and I know you like her. Please enhance him?" *casts* (rolls a 2, which is still one too low for +3 GMW) "Dammit! BAD Magic!" *Azrien thinks* "Hmmm... okay. No more buffs for the Pholtan. This one's for the Holy Liberator! You like him, right?" *casts, carefully not designating target until the END of casting* (rolls a 6) "Hahaha! Tricked you!" (puts +3 GMW on monk's unarmed strike) The Magic then refused to increase Azrien's caster level for the rest of the game (i.e. I couldn't roll better than a 3 on wild magic). We think it was sulking :( ) Even though it is obvious that it was the Sphere of Annihilation that tore into the poor devil's chest and ripped his heart apart, debate will rage amongst poets and dramatists as to whether there was much of a heart left to destroy after he learned of Timlagor's betrayal of their beloved cricket. (You're not a fellow Aussie, are you cycloptic?) Azrien smiles triumphantly, then suddenly looks worried and bites her lip. "Uh. Nice sphere. Come home with me now? Please? If I move fast, maybe I can get you back before anyone realizes you're gone... I don't think they'd be happy about me tricking the warding devices on the storerooms into thinking that I was one of the Regents..." Azrien - and the sphere - vanish. Moments pass. Neither Azrien nor the sphere returns...
cycloptic_squirrel 04-11-07, 01:36 AM	Now lets see if I actually have to resurrect him. I doubt you ever have to do anything you don't want to... (You're not a fellow Aussie, are you cycloptic?) Aussie? That's a new one. I've been mistaken for Canadian before (and they didn't make the same mistake twice), but never Australian. Nope, Minnesotan and proud of it. Though my homeland lies about 1000 miles away at this point.
RedKnightofKet 04-11-07, 06:33 PM	Katali is a halfling (lightfoot). That's good :) and a girl more important !! gabby says .. lets go laking while those other silly peoples go fight there demon thingamabobbies That's even better :devil: And I will definitely go laking - that's what I came here for.... maybe I'll even get some more cookies for Katali... keep her happy ;)
Japangirl 04-11-07, 06:35 PM	And I will definitely go laking - that's what I came here for.... maybe I'll even get some more cookies for Katali... keep her happy ;) Like Dryads and chocolate? (Someone, please, get the reference!)
copper_wyrmling 04-11-07, 07:18 PM	Like Dryads and chocolate? (Someone, please, get the reference!) David Eddings, in the Belgariad / Malloreon? I wish I'd been able to bring more of my books over to the US, my library here is woefully meagre (I have more textbooks than fantasy / sci-fi novels on my bookshelf atm :weep:)
Japangirl 04-11-07, 07:22 PM	David Eddings, in the Belgariad / Malloreon? I wish I'd been able to bring more of my books over to the US, my library here is woefully meagre (I have more textbooks than fantasy / sci-fi novels on my bookshelf atm :weep:) YAY! Yes, those books. Specifially, Belgarath the Sorceror, which is about his (very very long) life. Sadly, those books of mine are all at my parents' place also, and I too have textbooks over fun books :weep:.
cheeky_ktty 04-11-07, 09:12 PM	That's good :) That's even better :devil: And I will definitely go laking - that's what I came here for.... maybe I'll even get some more cookies for Katali... keep her happy ;) Yay!!! Katali finally gets to go laking. More cookies? Great, Katali will save them for her son, he loves cookies. Thank you Red Knight.
RedKnightofKet 04-11-07, 10:22 PM	Yay!!! Katali finally gets to go laking. More cookies? Great, Katali will save them for her son, he loves cookies. Thank you Red Knight. He is welcome to have the cookies, I'll gladly take his mother out laking ;)
cheeky_ktty 04-12-07, 02:29 AM	He is welcome to have the cookies, I'll gladly take his mother out laking ;) Don't forget Gabbie, Red Knight. Gabbie is still coming.... You are still coming aren't you Gabbie? Laking won't be the same without Gabbie, however if we want to make things....interesting... we can always bring Maddie, she could bring her ogre boyfriend.;)
clannagh 04-12-07, 02:57 AM	Don't forget Gabbie, Red Knight. Gabbie is still coming.... You are still coming aren't you Gabbie? Laking won't be the same without Gabbie, however if we want to make things....interesting... we can always bring Maddie, she could bring her ogre boyfriend.;) I doubt she still has the ogre boy she has probably grown bored of him or wore him out. She was last seen carousing in the Pomarj with a bunch of half orcs. Maddy is not known for consistancy of affection.
RedKnightofKet 04-12-07, 10:38 PM	I like being the only male along on the trip - gives me plenty to look at ;)
_m_ 04-15-07, 07:03 AM	HEY kids! back from holiday (only 10 days). can someone fill me in on what i missed? thanks babes :D
_m_ 04-15-07, 07:30 AM	btw, since theres a thread rating tool. rekon we should get everyone here to max rate this :D GOSH ive missed you all.

_m_ 04-15-07, 08:20 PM	you took 100ish posts to kill 3 beholdrs? *sigh*
clannagh 04-15-07, 08:26 PM	you took 100ish posts to kill 3 beholdrs? *sigh* not kill .. befriend and have a cup of tea with Gabby is trying to convert them from their evil ways
_m_ 04-15-07, 10:16 PM	*sigh* quickened clinging darkness, black fire, evards black tentacles.

cheeky_ktty 04-16-07, 01:18 AM	not kill .. befriend and have a cup of tea with Gabby is trying to convert them from their evil ways *Katali pats Gabbie on the back* "You can't convert everything Gabbie"
clannagh 04-16-07, 01:42 AM	*Katali pats Gabbie on the back* "You can't convert everything Gabbie" Well i gave them a nice cup of tea and some pamphlets on Velnius and told them they werent makeing a lot of friends with that eye ray "disintegrate everyone" palaver they think is so kewl so maybe they will listen. I also gave them a stern talking to and said anymore disintegrating and they will get smites from me .. and that goes for turning people to stone and charming and all that other stuff they do as well.

Good on you, for trying Gabbie! It's a shame more adventures don't try talking to some of these creatures-I bet most are just miss understood. ;)
clannagh 04-16-07, 02:23 AM	Good on you, for trying Gabbie! It's a shame more adventures don't try talking to some of these creatures-I bet most are just miss understood. ;) Gabbie does her best - she believes ruthlessly smiting everything evil is lowering yourself to the level of the evil beasties themselves. Even beholders deserve a chance to change their ways.
_m_ 04-16-07, 08:55 AM	Even beholders deserve a chance to change their ways. ... forcibly...
cheeky_ktty 04-16-07, 11:35 PM	Gabbie does her best - she believes ruthlessly smiting everything evil is lowering yourself to the level of the evil beasties themselves. Even beholders deserve a chance to change their ways. Katali agrees. Katali remembers when she was out adventuring with Gabbie and through lots of understanding and reasuring helped a medusa get it's life back on track, *Katali smiles fondly at the memory*
clannagh 04-17-07, 12:33 AM	Katali agrees. Katali remembers when she was out adventuring with Gabbie and through lots of understanding and reasuring helped a medusa get it's life back on track, *Katali smiles fondly at the memory* The makeover helped .. snakes are a real biatch to get product for though.
_m_ 04-17-07, 01:32 AM	funny... Armi has a strange recollection of none of you even participating in the fight, standing outside the room shouting "be NICE to her... no DONT hit it... its just lonely" ... one failed diplomacy role and a power punch to the face and the little thing stopped wailing... ... armi is not a nice person :D not like alvin *grin*

Oh and Gab, finding a product might have been hard but, I personally think painting all the indavidual scales on her made her quite pretty.

Lomiat 04-18-07, 12:00 AM	*meanwhile, back in the bat cave... alvin casts locate friends. Lomiat appears, holding the orc journal that fits the key given to him by the squirrel. "Yes?" Momentarily distracted, Lomiat seems to stare toward a small pinprick of light in an unoccupied corner of the room. "Sorry, Alvin, those were the 4.3 seconds I needed to dedicate to my standard action, concentrating on telekinesis to hold that portal open. It's not the prefered method, but in this un-raw environment, it seems to work well enough to suit our needs. It is fortunate, though, isn't it, that speaking continues to be a free action? Or a no-action, as the case may be. You might be led to believe that time is passing while I speak, and in fact, you'd be correct, but you might be amazed, too, at how very little time actually passes during any given monologue. Why, as a matter of fact, I've seen monologues interrupted by doors opening, people showing up, other people being killed in front of my eyes, and still I've been boggled to realize how little time passes in such boxed-off moments. "Boxed-off" is a phrase I use to describe temporal fluctation in key moments of any given adventure I undertake. "Glad to see you at any rate. I believe the devil's giving a short history of it's entry in this realm as it's dissipating into nothingness. Check with Yolande. She seems to be in charge of that encounter. I'm primarily concerning myself with any plot-hooks (another term I sometimes use) involving this orc's journal or this tightening portal." (Elapsed time: 0.02 seconds)
_m_ 04-18-07, 01:29 AM	"excelent, i dont suppose i could possibly have a look at that book your holding there, i happen to be quite adept at... um... reading (go go int 26 :D)" *casts anticipate teleport (hey, books do strange things) and walks over*

copper_wyrmling 04-19-07, 03:03 PM	I'm pretty sure a raise won't work. Need something with a little more... oomph. As her foe collapses into the sphere of annihilation, Yolande opens her mouth for what would undoubtedly be a tongue-lashing directed at Azrien, but the sorcerer has vanished again before she gets a chance. Muttering to herself, but looking more than a little relieved, the cleric steps out of the AMF, casts Lesser Vigor on herself, removes her belt of endurance and puts on her sash of the healer, and goes over to examine the bodies. (Yolande will take 10 on her Heal check and get 31.) "Hmmm. This squirrel was one of your comrades? Fallen in battle? I... see. Perhaps." She glances at Lomiat. "Good idea to keep that open, although we may want to make some repairs before seeking to investigate it further. Give me fifteen minutes to meditate and request more aid from Joramy, at least." (What do we need? If it's below L9, Yol can cast it. L7-8 cleric spells are surprisingly wimpy apart from Holy Word, so she tends to leave at least one high-level slot open.)

L7-8 cleric spells are surprisingly wimpy apart from Holy Word, so she tends to leave at least one high-level slot open.) Whatever will fix the condition of being catatonic (read: conscious) during the utterance of a Holy Word. (Remember I thought it was cool thing to do CrystalBlue! Despite consequences! Despite I say! :) )
LachlarlanIII 04-19-07, 03:47 PM	So... from what I see, the laking expedition has degenerated into people killing each other? I didn't know there were any good lakes in the BK :)
cycloptic_squirrel 04-19-07, 03:54 PM	I didn't know there were any good lakes in the BK :) People turning on each other? Others having little clue as to what's actually going on? If I didn't know any better I'd venture that said lake could be an oasis in the Bright Desert... :rolleyes:
Lomiat 04-19-07, 06:18 PM	"Hmmm. This squirrel was one of your comrades? Fallen in battle? I... see. Perhaps." She glances at Lomiat. "Good idea to keep that open, although we may want to make some repairs before seeking to investigate it further. Give me fifteen minutes to meditate and request more aid from Joramy, at least." "Fifteen minutes? I appreciate your misguided confidence in my expertise, but I recommend you make your preparations for entry through this portal within the next 36 seconds. I've already exhausted half the duration of my spell."
clannagh 04-19-07, 07:26 PM	So... from what I see, the laking expedition has degenerated into people killing each other? I didn't know there were any good lakes in the BK :) Half the expedition teleported somewhere random to fight the uber-demon of non-RAW-rules-violations but left 3 or 4 characters behind who decided to continue laking seeming as Morgie had wandered off and it was a nice day for it anyway.
_m_ 04-19-07, 09:11 PM	"as the only person with who has perfected teleporting, as long as I stays here we should have a fighting chance. i can take 4 people to continue (briefely: theres only so much party splitting i can take before i cry) the journey into this im-not-really-sure-what-sort-of dungeon with me. and pets and familiars :D
CrystalBlue 04-20-07, 07:52 AM	*mrows and sniffles inside the pouch* Oh...he's only catatonic...I thought he was dead. *bites the little squirrel's neck sruff and pulls him out of the pocket, then deposits him in Yolande's hands* Here you go. Remi had to go back to the Shieldlands and fight the Iuzian horde...seeing as how those damn Bandit Kingdom people sluff off on the job all the time and don't pull their weight when it comes to a demi-god's unholy army. *mutters* Damn BK...they need to grow a spine... *hopes up onto m's shoulder and yawns* Well, I COUNT as a familiar...with the casting powers of a 11th level wizard and an 11th level Shadowcaster. So that should be all good. [Which reminds me....Hrug just finished Red Hand of Doom. It was horrible. I never want to go back there. But I am now a 2nd level Nocturmancer. :D]
cycloptic_squirrel 04-20-07, 02:18 PM	Oh...he's only catatonic...I thought he was dead. Hmmm... I guess I did word that last bit a bit confusingly. Let me rephrase: Whatever will fix the condition of being catatonic (read: conscious and thus capable of hearing) during the utterance of a Holy Word while possessing a) a chaotic neutral alignment (at least I think that might be an appropriate assessment of the squirrels worldview) and b) far fewer hit dice than 18; even counting all the templates, the base creature is still 1/4 of a hit die. So... yeah. As a doornail.
LachlarlanIII 04-20-07, 02:21 PM	I though "catatonic" was when you dunk your favorite feline in a bucket of Gin? :D
Akhamshyy 04-20-07, 07:25 PM	So... yeah. As a doornail. *looks up at the big guys and down at the squirrel* I don't like being the only little one here. *hops over to squirrel. takes a moment to shuffle through little haversack before arranging several rainbow colored gems around his corpse before sprinkling about some water* They never said I had to use white diamonds... *begins chanting in a strange multi-voiced choral way, and chanting, and chanting...*(this'll just take a few minutes)

_m_ 04-22-07, 10:45 AM	a whole day with no posts!? wtf? i miss redknight and japangirl.!
RedKnightofKet 04-22-07, 12:57 PM	Don't know where Japangirl is, but here I am. I was...um... laking with Katali... she's fun ;) Want to come laking again? I always enjoy laking with you :love: a whole day with no posts!? wtf? i miss redknight and japangirl.!
cycloptic_squirrel 04-22-07, 02:23 PM	"alvin joins in, adding undertones of shadow to the chanting." Ooooohh! Does this mean that the little guy is going to come back with the shadow template? Not that he needs another or anything...
Japangirl 04-22-07, 09:11 PM	Well, I had to wander off and go kill some Scarlet Brotherhood guys. They're fun to kill :D . . . all squishy and human. Who says frontal assaults aren't fun?
cheeky_ktty 04-23-07, 12:26 AM	Don't know where Japangirl is, but here I am. I was...um... laking with Katali... she's fun ;) Want to come laking again? I always enjoy laking with you :love: Hello Red Knight, I thought you had dissapeared for a moment there. *Katali pauses* Oh, now were is Gabbie?! The moment I get one of my friends here the other dissapears!! *Katali looks sad at the sudden dissapearance of Gabbie* I want my gnome paladin back!!!
clannagh 04-23-07, 01:23 AM	Hello Red Knight, I thought you had dissapeared for a moment there. *Katali pauses* Oh, now were is Gabbie?! The moment I get one of my friends here the other dissapears!! *Katali looks sad at the sudden dissapearance of Gabbie* I want my gnome paladin back!!! Gabby spotted a few Fiendish Dire Llamas over near the lake and went to give them a good smiting in the name of Velnius.
cheeky_ktty 04-23-07, 02:24 AM	Gabby spotted a few Fiendish Dire Llamas over near the lake and went to give them a good smiting in the name of Velnius. *Katali grins at her paladin friend* Gabbie!! I was worrried!! Me and Red Knight have been waiting for you. Fiendish Dire Llamas? Why didn't you call me? I would have loved to stab a llama, I've never stabbed one before.
_m_ 04-23-07, 03:22 AM	alvin is SICK of all the lack of frivolitis. MAXIMISED EMPOWERED TWINED BLACK FLAMES. all mosters within 1.2 miles take 196 damage per round for 14 rounds, no sr, no imunities. "now that all the damn beasties are dead: every come back to our lake, and lets PLAY again"

"now that all the damn beasties are dead: every come back to our lake, and lets PLAY again" Hey! Technically I'm a monster. And just how do you know all those monsters where mean. Just think, all the really evil ones; that kinda mirror me; won't care. Heh, if I die that deal my mom made for me in Celestia will just cause me to come back as some winged angel or something or other...or is it a ball of light...

cheeky_ktty 04-23-07, 10:13 PM	its ok Gabby smiterated them .. one claimed to be a duck but you know what liars Fiendish Dire Llama's can be. Good thing you can tell the difference between a Fiendish Dire Llama and a Duck, Gabbie. it would be dissaster if one of them escaped. You still should have let me stabbed one though :)
clannagh 04-23-07, 11:24 PM	Good thing you can tell the difference between a Fiendish Dire Llama and a Duck, Gabbie. it would be dissaster if one of them escaped. You still should have let me stabbed one though :) Well it looked like a duck .. but I reckon it was in disguise. Next time I will keep some for you.
_m_ 04-24-07, 12:23 AM	*sigh* stop killing the ducks. *goes and hugs a duck*
clannagh 04-24-07, 12:27 AM	*sigh* stop killing the ducks. *goes and hugs a duck* not a duck .. a disguised undetectable alignment fiendish dire llama with lots of ranks in bluff they are trying to take over the flanaess you know
_m_ 04-24-07, 01:44 AM	not a duck .. a disguised undetectable alignment fiendish dire llama with lots of ranks in bluff they are trying to take over the flanaess you know /shrug, let them. the flanaess could use a good taking over. ... /lick redknight.

cheeky_ktty 04-27-07, 12:58 AM	Katali is a strong supporter of not letting the Fiendish Dire Llamas take over the flanness. One day they will see the error of there ways Gabbie, and then they will say, "Geee, we should have listened to the smart, well manicured, perfectly permed, gnome paladin" BTW, Japangirl Is your rogue a halfling?

_m_ 04-28-07, 12:39 AM	ugh, my poor thread gets such little attention on weekends :/
cycloptic_squirrel 04-28-07, 01:45 AM	ugh, my poor thread gets such little attention on weekends :/ I'd help remedy that, but I don't really feel inspired to post when I have to do it as a disembodied voice. The unfortunate meeting between the cornugon and Sphere of Annihilation (there will be a reckoning, wild mage ;)) seems to have left me without a puppet. Worry not, Akhamshyy's gotta finish that chanting sometime, right? Right? :(
_m_ 04-28-07, 02:06 AM	any idea whaty the casting time on: random chanting. is?
cheeky_ktty 04-28-07, 02:23 AM	yeah, but katali is too small to do anything about it :D ... and no1 EVER listens to gnomes. Katali is a little sensitive about her height. And Katali is not a gnome, She is a halfling. You should listen to halflings, m, all races should listen to halflings, for one glorious day they will take over the whole flanness and what a wonderful world it will be :evillaugh Go Halflings!!! :cheer:
clannagh 04-28-07, 03:01 AM	yeah, but katali is too small to do anything about it :D ... and no1 EVER listens to gnomes. people start listening to gabb, but then they realise she is just prattling on abut hair product and makeup and kinda stop listening after a while
cheeky_ktty 04-28-07, 03:20 AM	people start listening to gabb, but then they realise she is just prattling on abut hair product and makeup and kinda stop listening after a while Katali listens to Gabbie. Even if Katali cares more about which squishy body organs are more fun to stab than about hair or make-up.
cycloptic_squirrel 04-28-07, 11:00 AM	any idea whaty the casting time on: random chanting. is? I thought it might be Resurrection, but with Akhamshyy I can never be sure what he's capable of. Whatever the chanting is, I thought he said it'd only be a few minutes. I'm not too worried; I figure this is the part of the movie that was prefaced with: Meanwhile, back at the lake...
Akhamshyy 04-28-07, 09:19 PM	I thought it might be Resurrection, but with Akhamshyy I can never be sure what he's capable of. Whatever the chanting is, I thought he said it'd only be a few minutes. I'm not too worried; I figure this is the part of the movie that was prefaced with: *hmmm, hmmm, mmm, ahhh, ahhh, Amen...* Wow what a long ten minutes. Never actually cast true resurrection before. But what the hey, it's for a buddy, and how often will I get to use that birthright. ;) So, umm. Weren't we here for something? I mean, besides random slaying of offensive creatures. I get so caught up in things here. You'd be surprised how boring it can get on the upper planes. Unless you get summoned somewhere you never get to see any action. I was always going down to the bison herd to hear about the latest battle they'd been in. Was enough to get me to come here. Hey squirrel was your fur always that dark?
copper_wyrmling 04-28-07, 10:35 PM	*hmmm, hmmm, mmm, ahhh, ahhh, Amen...* Wow what a long ten minutes. Never actually cast true resurrection before. But what the hey, it's for a buddy, and how often will I get to use that birthright. ;) So, umm. Weren't we here for something? I mean, besides random slaying of offensive creatures. Yolande, who has been watching the casting with interest (unless Lomiat wanted to jump through the portal and keep squashing fiends, in which case she'll happily join him), sighs and sits down next to the frog. "Hmmph. I don't know. Your little shadowy friend seems to have vanished off somewhere, as has *sigh* the foolish sorceress who brought me here in the first place. It worries me sometimes that arcane power seems to have such a strong association with absentmindedness, flightiness and general lack of wisdom and common sense..." "So... did you get unlucky on a reincarnation or a baleful polymorph or something? I don't often meet talking frogs, much less ones who can cast the mightiest of divine spells. Although, heh, I know what you mean about never getting to use resurrection magic. The one time I got to cast it, turned out the gnome didn't want to come back. Now I cast Speak with Dead first..." I get so caught up in things here. You'd be surprised how boring it can get on the upper planes. Unless you get summoned somewhere you never get to see any action. I was always going down to the bison herd to hear about the latest battle they'd been in. "Hey, don't blame me. Joramy never granted me the ability to summon celestial tree frogs, and I'm pretty sure you wouldn't come if I called with Planar Ally. Uh... it's true what they say about summoning, right? The Battle Cattle don't suffer for what happens to them when summoned? I always worried just a little about that. I mean, if they fell in a battle against a great evil, sure, but some of my party members were downright reckless around summons - shooting into grapples, using cursed weapons that turned to strike the wielder's friends, and so on." Was enough to get me to come here. Hey squirrel was your fur always that dark? "So, where's "here", apart from "somewhere that Azrien can teleport to"? And I guess your spell answered the question of whether the squirrel was your friend... although it was the Holy Word that killed it, right?" Yolande gives the squirrel a Look (detecting evil).
cycloptic_squirrel 04-29-07, 02:05 AM	*hmmm, hmmm, mmm, ahhh, ahhh, Amen...* Wow what a long ten minutes. Yolande gives the squirrel a Look (detecting evil). *lies motionless for a few moments, the detect evil spell revealing a slight aura around him, though a second look reveals that it might just be the thin coat of residual digestive juices* *takes a sharp breath as the the life force rushes back into the small frame* I was... I was... it was beautiful. There were nuts everywhere. And gingerbread men that you could actually catch. There was a bakery where the baker had been tied up, apparently after he made the morning's bagels. And Tim revealed to me so much. So very much. But I... but I... I can't remember. *looks confused* I saw... Akhamshyy sad. And CrystalBlue too. And I don't... I don't know why. Something happened... something sad. Before being with Tim I was... I was here. We were searching for... a... holy water font? And then I trying to be cool like... um... where's Alvin? Did he go away? I was doing whatever he did... and then there was this... bright flash, and... and then... um... *pauses and tries hard to recall what happened* then... there was a hand... and it AAAAAAHHHHHGHGHGHGHGHGGHHH!!!!!!!! *discontinues the scream as wide, terror-striken eyes glaze over and the squirrel curls into the fetal position and starts slowly rocking himself*
copper_wyrmling 04-29-07, 04:14 AM	*discontinues the scream as wide, terror-striken eyes glaze over and the squirrel curls into the fetal position and starts slowly rocking himself* "Oh, for the love of - can you do something about this?" Yolande glares at the celestial tree frog. "I've been told I don't have a good bedside manner." She tentatively pokes the squirrel with a gauntleted hand. "Look, you're alive, okay? Fiends are nasty, yes, but your friends got you out and raised you. And thanks to Akhamshyy, you didn't even lose life-force from it. I mean, come on, if I can cope with being captured and tortured by demons and having to make a deal with them to buy my friends' freedom, you should be able to handle being chewed on and spat out by a cornugon. I mean, you're an adventurer, right? All in a day's work, right?" (*sigh* Yolande was so much better at Diplomacy when she had Joramy telling her what to say via Divine Insight...)
Akhamshyy 04-29-07, 03:30 PM	I think he just realized the spell brought 'im back whole. Anyone know how long it's been since he lost that eye? And Copper, you've seen the 'rea'l me. I look like my dad. He's a couatl from Arcadia. Met my mom at a church function; she's a bronze dragon and works as an archivist in St. Cuthbert's cathedral. I just like goin' around like this, though I can look 'human' if I need too. There are enough humanoid shapes around, so I don't bother.

CrystalBlue 04-30-07, 07:44 AM	*moves over to the traumatized little rodent and licks his face* It's ok. At least...it'll be ok. We can go home now...can't we? I mean...we're done here, right? We did what we came for. *Crystal blinks again and sits down, looking at all the humanoids* Wait a minute...what are we doing here? We...we don't have a goal, do we? Hey! You guys brought us to some abandoned mine or dungeon that's been taken over by fiends and orcs...and you haven't the slightest clue WHAT we're doing here...do you? *glares at everyone* DO YOU?! *grumbles as he snatches the squirrel away from Alvin* If you need us, we'll be back at the lake with Red Knight...go play your little death games if you want...I'm not letting you let furry cute things get killed again. *quickly teleports himself away with a recall stone*
Japangirl 04-30-07, 05:08 PM	*tackles Crystal to the best of her very small ability* We're here to rescue someone! Umm, some lowbie wizardy type person. Some help here someone? *rolls d20 for Int check to remember, dammit I hate sub-5 rolls*
Lomiat 04-30-07, 06:41 PM	"We are here to rescue Min. Those still interested, please step through the diminishing portal. We have roughly 6 seconds remaining on my Telekinesis spell." Lomiat picks up the pipe that had gotten lost in his backpack since 1st level and looks at it curiously for a moment before replacing it in his backpack. "I wonder how that fell out."

Do you have any idea where that leads, though?" Yolande takes a firm grip on her staff and walks over to the portal. POP! Azrien reappears in the room, looking somewhat... hunted. "Planar portal yes? Can we go through? Now? Please? Quickly?" She glances back over her shoulder. "You can't normally scry across planes, right?"
Akhamshyy 04-30-07, 09:14 PM	I guess I go through the portal. Can't have anyone getting lost out on the Wheel without me. *leaps through* Wheee!.........
clannagh 04-30-07, 11:08 PM	Maddy pokes her head in and looks around for any suitable big buff evil guys to have her way with.
cheeky_ktty 04-30-07, 11:38 PM	Red Knight are you still out there? It appears every one is dimension/plane jumping again. *sigh* Why can't every one just be 'normal' like Katali. Katali looks around the lake for Red Kinght, *sigh* Laking alone is not very fun.

tlotig 05-02-07, 12:25 AM	"Uh... sure. Do you have any idea where that leads, though?" Yolande takes a firm grip on her staff and walks over to the portal. POP! Azrien reappears in the room, looking somewhat... hunted. "Planar portal yes? Can we go through? Now? Please? Quickly?" She glances back over her shoulder. "You can't normally scry across planes, right?" A Half -elf in black full plate with red runes hurtles down from the sky. About 10' off the ground he suddenly slows almost to a halt and floats gently the rest of the way "Im so glad that worked" bows breifly to Yolande and grins at Azrien "Mind if I join you?"
Japangirl 05-02-07, 02:43 AM	*Liliana crouches into a very defensive posture, daggers drawn* Sure, no problem . . . who are you? What do you want? Why are you here? Why are you dressed all in black, only bad guys wear all black? Do you have any holy symbols? Can I see them? On second thought, freaky scary bad-guy looking half-elves are a no-go for joining me. Go away!
clannagh 05-02-07, 03:44 AM	Gabb automatically detects evil on anyone with the bad fashion sense to wear red and black.

Go away! Grins at Liliana, Now that you can see it properly the Front of the half - elf's armour has an erupting volcano engraved in it. "I am Kaela, Knight of the blazing wrath." (you detect no evil)
CrystalBlue 05-02-07, 07:42 AM	*whines as his only teleport for the day is inturrupted* Damn it...fine. Portal...whatever. I just don't want to die...and I'm already out of all of my spells. *pads slowly into the glowing open mouth of doom*

Go away! Yolande nods to the newcomer - "Greetings, Kaela. Good to see you again" - and shakes her head at Liliana. "Didn't I hear you say you were from the Bandit Kingdoms? How can you possibly have issues with working with somebody because they wear black armor? If it really disturbs you, though, I'm sure Kaela could change the settings on his hat of disguise." She grins. But... but... *wriggles free of Crystal Blue and makes two feeble bounds over to a very nervous looking wild mage* *tugs at her pant leg (I assume she wears pants?)* Azrien? *looks up at the fugitive with a frown and a wide eye full of concern* We don't really have to go through the portal, do we? (Yeah, Az wears pants. Skirts are very impractical when you like flying.) "Lomiat seems to be saying that Min is through there. But here, you can hide in my pocket with Irthos again.

But here, you can hide in my pocket with Irthos again. Total cover stops almost everything..." That's okay. I'll take a page out of Akhamshyy's book. *uses his mouth to hold onto the half eaten cookie in he jumps about two feet and climbs the rest of the way to Azrien's shoulder* This will be okay. If we have to go. *burrows under the folds of Azrien's collar* (I think the size ratios work; diminutive tree frog : small halfling :: tiny squirrel : medium human)
cheeky_ktty 05-02-07, 09:20 PM	I'm a little confused with all this dimension jumping, is everyone back at the lake of laking now? If so.. Katali happily hops around giving hugs to all present, those to tall to receive a proper hug from the 3ft tall halfling, meerly get a little hug around the knees. Katali stops and stares at the other halfling, "Another Halfling!!!!!!!" -Katali does not see many halflings when she adventures, Liliana gets a extra hug.
clannagh 05-02-07, 10:41 PM	gabby thinks getting hugs are almost as good as smiting fiendish llama's
Akhamshyy 05-02-07, 11:22 PM	*yawns* Time for another nap. I just saw a nice collar come tumbling by. Oh there! *hops under daggers and snuggles into collar* Ahhh, so comfortables here. Wake me if you wanna holy aura cast... *little honk-shus ensue*
Japangirl 05-02-07, 11:44 PM	Nono, no problems working with people wearing all black armor. Just, I need to know if they have grinning skulls so I can, uh, *mumbles*properlyworshipOldWicked*end mumbles* and not die a horrible death. I have no problems working for or with evil people, I just like to know beforehand that's all. I got startled, there's like two assassin's guilds, the Slavelords, and Kuroth knows who else after me. It makes one a bit jumpy after awhile.

Japangirl 05-02-07, 11:58 PM	Smooth; waiting until the celestial falls asleep before saying that.:schemes: And I'm right in your collar! 8 wisdom does that. Besides, I totally didn't say that! You misheard me that's all. *rolls d20* Can you beat a 36 bluff check? (I rolled high).
sylvermyst 05-03-07, 12:50 AM	*looks at the wild mage* Is he saying Akhamshyy brought me back as a twisted mockery of their former self? *whimpers* *pops up behind squirrel, possibly scaring him (I don't know how easily Mr Squirrel might scare, or how good at noticing people suddenly appearing behind him he is. Or Azrien is. You guys decide.* I think he’s saying that if you don’t get fixed up by the friendly frog, then you might end up like that. Probably not much fun, hmmm. I might be confused though, you never know. So, what exactly are we doing? And where are we? And why? Are we going anywhere else anytime soon? Who’s going to get annoyed at the persistent questioning first? ;)
cheeky_ktty 05-03-07, 01:12 AM	Katali gives Gabbie another hug, "Red Knight lets go laking!". Katali pauses at the edge of the lake, "Ummm, does anyone know if Procan is god of Lakes as well as Seas?" -Katali does not like Procan.
sylvermyst 05-03-07, 03:25 AM	I don't think Procan does lakes... Maybe salt water lakes, I can see that, but not laking lakes.
Lomiat 05-03-07, 08:05 AM	Lomiat looks around the room at the stragglers. "Time's up." The gray elf gracefully dashes the one square to the portal and leaps through -- right before it winks out of existence.
RedKnightofKet 05-03-07, 03:34 PM	Katali gives Gabbie another hug, "Red Knight lets go laking!". Katali pauses at the edge of the lake, "Ummm, does anyone know if Procan is god of Lakes as well as Seas?" -Katali does not like Procan. "Gladly." *arm around Katali as we head to the lake. again. "Don't wait up...":schemes:

RedKnightofKet 05-07-07, 12:43 AM	hey guys sorry i aint been around 4 wso long, having a busy few weeks. miss me, ok? I always miss you ;) Although Katali has kept me occupied :devil:
cheeky_ktty 05-07-07, 11:08 PM	Don't get to frisky Red Knight, Katali's male friend might not like it. Katali is assuming you don't want a dagger-or two-or three and maybe a cutlass, in your back :D
Japangirl 05-08-07, 12:24 AM	Back? Bah, stabbing someone in the back is so passe. Go with the stabbing knees, groins, and achilles' heels from underneath! :D.
Puggle Halfwine 05-08-07, 01:29 AM	Don't get to frisky Red Knight, Katali's male friend might not like it. Katali is assuming you don't want a dagger-or two-or three and maybe a cutlass, in your back :D "Oi, Red!", comes a grunt from a rough, nasty looking halfling with an eyepatch over his right eye, a cigar in his mouth and his hands folded over his chest, "I think you'll be going laking with Mrs Palmer and her five daughters, if you be knowing what I mean!" He puffs on his cigar for a moment, blowing smoke in a thick cloud above him. "Of course, that's all up to Katali- she's a big girl, she can make her own decisions. Just say'n, you know... sometimes people go laking with people they shouldn't, then sometimes people are found floating face down in Marner harbour, lots o' little stab wounds in their back." He shrugs absently, as though making a comment about the weather. "Dunno how it happens, honestly..."
_m_ 05-08-07, 02:41 AM	"hold up hold up here! we can all play nice... very nice *wink*. no need for stab wounds... besies... my stabbing hurts more than yours does. :D
RedKnightofKet 05-08-07, 04:24 PM	*Hides behind m*... Didn't mean to cause any trouble.... damn, haven't picked up that Gem of Fortification yet... So, m, are we back to you and me laking again? :D
clannagh 05-08-07, 08:02 PM	Back? Bah, stabbing someone in the back is so passe. Go with the stabbing knees, groins, and achilles' heels from underneath! :D. Gabby regards anything other than a full frontal full power attack charge with lowered lance as devious and un-paladin-like.
cheeky_ktty 05-09-07, 12:16 AM	Katali looks at Red Knight, "Sorry Red Knight, I'm sure m can keep you occupied though" Katali skips over to the rough looking halfling giving him a warm hug, "Vinnie!!! So good to see you again! Gotten over the traumatic experience of Perrenland yet? Want to come Laking with me?" Katali turns her attention to Gabbie, "Gabbie, you never thought my stabbing of random people in the back was devious, and un-paladin like.... At least you've never mentioned it"
_m_ 05-09-07, 12:19 AM	So, m, are we back to you and me laking again? :D we're ALWAYS up to laking, ket ;)
clannagh 05-09-07, 12:35 AM	Katali looks at Red Knight, "Sorry Red Knight, I'm sure m can keep you occupied though" Katali skips over to the rough looking halfling giving him a warm hug, "Vinnie!!!

Katali turns her attention to Gabbie, "Gabbie, you never thought my stabbing of random people in the back was devious, and un-paladin like.... At least you've never mentioned it" It is very devious and hence very rogue-like and thus very Katali. It is just not Paladin like. It is why you do not see a lot of Paladin/Rogues about I suppose :)
cheeky_ktty 05-09-07, 01:03 AM	*Katali grins* "Not all rogue-ish activities are nasty and devious, I mean what about....Umm....Or maybe....Hmmm.....Oh! I know, er wait, no..... Just leave it with me Gabbie, I will find something, maybe"
Japangirl 05-09-07, 01:04 AM	Gabby regards anything other than a full frontal full power attack charge with lowered lance as devious and un-paladin-like. And your point? ;) The last paladin I saw was an 18th level blackguard and we killed him good. Before that it was the 4 paladin/7 cleric who was in that mod but on our side. Before that it was, umm, have I actually played with any other paladins? I don't think so, actually. They all seem to die untimely deaths rather early on in their careers . . .
Puggle Halfwine 05-09-07, 04:49 AM	Katali skips over to the rough looking halfling giving him a warm hug, "Vinnie!!! So good to see you again! Gotten over the traumatic experience of Perrenland yet? Want to come Laking with me?" "Love to," answers Vinnie, grinning and hugging Katali back. He gives her a fond squeeze, then just holds her idly, glancing around. "You've got to introduce me to your friends... haven't met these folks yet." He subconsciously scratches at his left forearm which is covered by the long sleeves of his tunic.

But this is Gabbie" *Katali waves a hand at the gnome paladin standing nearby* "Gabbie and I are almost as good a team as you and me, Vinnie! She smites evil things and, if they arn't dead, there's lots of flanky goodness with many, many squishy body organs being impaled!!" *Katali grins at the gnome* Katali notices Vinnie scratch his fore-arm, and glances anxiously at her own left fore-arm, a section of which has been covered with a strip of black cloth, tied securely.

Gabby only smites unredeemably evil things ... if they promise to behave in future and abandon evil I might just let them off with a stern lecture. Hmm interesting cloth bandage .. do I detect eminations of evil from that ?

Hmm interesting cloth bandage .. do I detect eminations of evil from that ? "Katali blinks, looking at the cloth on her arm* "You think Gabbie? I think it looks kinda cool, nice accessory" *Katali grins, at Vinnie* -No you detect no evilness, if anyone has detect magic going they get slight transmutation (I think thats the one) vibes. The same thing is emitting from where Vinnie subconsciously scratched his arm.
Puggle Halfwine 05-10-07, 09:40 PM	*alvin holds up a mysteriously produce lead sheet when the detect evil clicks on* Vinnie does the same. "It's, err, a cultural custom to carry these with us at all times. Yes."
_m_ 05-10-07, 11:08 PM	Vinnie does the same. "It's, err, a cultural custom to carry these with us at all times. Yes." "indeed, weight restrictions for small creatures n'all. no choice :D"
cycloptic_squirrel 05-11-07, 09:24 PM	*pokes Azrien from under her collar* Are we there yet? And where's there? Is it safe?

A soft whimper begins to start but is replaced by slow nibbling sounds* Everyone's still ok, right? *crumbs start to originate from under the collar*

"There there, squirrel. Everyone's still okay. Nothing bad has happened. Yolande will planeshift us home if we get into trouble. Are you enjoying your cookie? Oh, and don't worry, nobody thinks you're a twisted mockery of your former self. That would be if you were undead, but we fixed that, hmmm?" "Hmmm. Where are we, Lomiat?"
Lomiat 05-12-07, 02:08 AM	Lomiat casts Light, then looks around. (Knowledge planes DC 39) "Gouda. Cheddar. Swiss. Brie. Eww... Processed American." Lomiat gets one of those looks on his face that might distress you if you get distressed by those sudden looks of worry or concern from people who don't show similar facial expressions while confronting chain devils... "It appears we have located the Elemental Plane of Cheeze. "Brace yourselves."

Okay; the only legit reason for us to be here is if we share a resonance with this plane or we where brought here to seal it off before the LG Optimization Groups learn of its existance. I'm hoping for the latter; and also hope that the holy water font is not here. But having gotten around a bit together we may just be that cheesed out that we just ended up here.

With a shrug, Vinnie reaches into a pocket and pulls out another, lights it, then makes his way over to Katali, walking with her. "So lead the way, gorgeous."

cycloptic_squirrel 05-23-07, 04:23 AM	Ummm, it wouldn't have any think to do with Pirates of the Carribean 3 being released tomorrow would it? I think you would make a lovely Elizabeth Swann m. *points accusingly at Katali (despite being on a different plane entirely)* Hey! No! No guessing! My brownies! Mine! That's a bad halfling! Bad! *looks at Azrien pleadingly* C'mon - you can cast detect thoughts, right? Or commune? Or... or... something! Other people are starting to guess again!

_metz_ 05-23-07, 07:05 AM	I know why. Cos you are a fresher and m. Don't even pretend thats not the reason. (Also you are in a play) <But I am cheating as I know you> - Speaking of Pirates, I need to go watch that...
cycloptic_squirrel 05-23-07, 06:12 PM	That's not why! It it m? Is it? *looks pleadingly with his one big eye, the tears already threatening to spill* metz didn't... didn't get the points. Right? I... I still have a chance to win the points, right? *starts to show a slight frown with a tembling lower lip* Brownies?

Sensible squirrels can't be expected to understand the minds of shadowcasters. I'll bake you some brownies, how about that? Wild-magic-infused brownies! They'll be much nicer than shadow brownies." "I'm just relieved to hear it had nothing to do with, ahem, the Lady. Unless she's in the play? Please, don't say someone let her be in a play..." (I assume the Aussies know the character I'm talking about - The Other Hanne Weisspeer, plays in Canberra, seven-foot-tall male half-orc barbarian cross-dresser? "She" went through Blood on Bright Sands holding a parasol in one hand and a spiked chain in the other... and later tried (and failed) to arrange Azrien's marriage to a sleazy cleric of Zilchus.)

OOC: Who thinks he/she is a reincarnation of the real Hanne even though the real NPC one is still alive ? My badlands dwarf Carbunckle played a few games with Hanne. But Carbuncle believes he is Flan and is on a mission to convert Perrenland to Joramy. which hasnt met with a lot of positive response I must say (blight and all), so he didnt really find him/her all that odd. Aside from which he hangs around Katali a halfling who insists she is not short, the rest of the world is just too tall, so he is used to struggles with reality.
cheeky_ktty 05-24-07, 12:32 AM	Firstly, If Katali wants something Katali will get it. So Katali will keep guessing for the brownies, despite the taunts of the little squirrel on the other plane. Secondly, Katali doesn't struggle with reality. Anyone over 4ft is a clumsy, disproportioned, gullible longshanks. Katali is a normal 3ft tall, and is NOT short.

Speaking of Pheno, Patto and I might be going (haven't decided yet), so you can get a lift with us if we do go m. The games offered are all year 7s except the interactive, so apart from that not a massive rush. Eo's level 10 now, and a full blown elemental Savant. (Sarian is almost 9, still lagging behind the older folk)

He's so excited being his first con and all, though you should've seen me when I found out I was going to Canberra Day Madness. Katali is a level 6, just one more level till Shadow Dancer-ness!! And if everything is still good with Triad playtesting it and everything, Glenn's and my intro should premier. Oh and m, if Metz and Patto don't go you could probably get a lift with Glenn, like with Canberra Day Madness, though you'll have to ask him and tell him soon he's still sorting accommodation for John and Himself.
_metz_ 05-24-07, 11:52 PM	Yeah Damun is level 7, but low on Time units as per usual (stupid metaorgs) He has crazy equipment though (Yay Craft Wondrous Item) I would probably be working on my next Ratik Character at Pheno, unless the module was specifically Piratey, My Wizard is one Game of level 2 and I have a level 2 BDF in the making. I need to preserve some TUs for Winterfest/Summerfest, as does Eo. (also courtesy of all the APL 10s played up into recently we have had some near death encounters)
cheeky_ktty 05-25-07, 12:03 AM	You should see Silvnana's and Katali's TU after Border Con! I have no Perrenland characters after the switch so Silvana is on something like 17 TU's and Katali is on 15 or 16. On a better note, my trip up to Brisbane the week after Border Con I finally played Madhouse, IT WAS SO COOL!!!!!!! :D And I have created Katali's twin sister, for all those players who are familiar with my halfling rogue with the squeeky voice (those at Border Con will remember), her twin has one exactly the same.

Wild-magic-infused brownies! They'll be much nicer than shadow brownies." Brownies! Yay! What do wild-magic-infused brownies do? Is it illegal as it sounds? If I can somehow still get points, can I have both. *gives a glance in the direction of metz* I may have to fight for them - but squirrels fight better when there is food involved.

I will probably show up at Pheno, in body if not in mind (grumble grumble twenty-two-hour plane flights grumble). I want my precious Iuz mods, I miss them so much :weep: A little voice (of reason?) is telling me that my chances of getting tables for APL 14 Year 6 Iuzies are less than fantastic, though.

I can play Iuzies remotely if there is a table of players that I can connect to AND my RPGA mailing address is in Iuz-land. This is possible. My RPGA mailing address (i.e. where I tell them to send the cards) jumps all over the place, since I don't actually have a permanent address at the moment (I have family in Perrenland and Ratik and I'm studying in the US). It seems vaguely against the intent of the rules, though. I can also play Iuzies if I can get myself and two other players up to Queensland and then bring in some other Iuz players remotely (so I don't need four players all from Australia). That might be a possibility for June/July, we'll see. I was happy to see the teleconferencing option, but I'm not sure how much it will help.
_metz_ 05-25-07, 03:07 AM	Poor Copper. *pats on head* As for the special brownies, I don't really need to fight for the brownies, as knowing m - I bought them! (you know its true m) Hence I can probably share them around a little... Power to dodgy accents, you haven't met my character with the reeeealllly bad hong Kong accent have you... (cracked wes up lol when I read out a players handout, but I foresee some issues if I ever play with anyone from hong kong) Anyways Pheno is quite contingent on Uni work and stuff, It is my final year, same with Patto prior to Internship and its right before exams, so lets hope we get the stuff done. As for questionable moral choices, Sarian wanted to be in the employ of an evil necromancer, but was told off by other party members the other day (Eo was up for it, I think Sarian has had some bad influence on him...) Sarian(me) is very bored. *looks to Mr Tibbs (Monkey Familiar with 5 Ranks in Profession Gambler)* Deal the cards my good fellow! a game of Ulthek no limit! (essentially poker to be featuring in a ratik module in the not too distant future all being well) Who's up for a game? Suits are ranked as Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, Black Dragon and Green Dragon...

Damun and Sarian are both down to about 15 TUs, Eo has a fair few more I think. We have been playing a fair few APL 10s, which is why we are starting to catch up, they have been VERY risky though :) Finally starting to get some gold to do stuff with too (Patto just spent 17 grand I think) Turns out I have a 21st on that weekend so probably won't be going, if you pester Patto enough and drive to Canberra with him he might still go though. m you going back to the dale for the Hols?

clannagh 05-27-07, 08:17 PM	alvin is stil the highest of us, but he's out of TU's. armi is a 7, druken master, and theo (the stupid power build fiend) yeah Maddy is a smidgeon off 10 and down to one whole solitary TU which she is saving for Schwartzenstadt III wherein she will probably ally with the heretics (which may well totally stuff up her ritter, junior officer and grove status) oh well the whench never really cared much for prestige and authority anyway, she can always move to ratik. j'ko is now a GISH and will be mid 9 shortly as well and also out of time units. Which means i will hit June with both my perrenland primaries already out of TU. Which means at Pheno I will mainly being playing Carbuncle, Gabby, Kahlen, Brunhilda and Annabelle. I think I have too many PCs. After hellspike and a batch of APL10 Iuz mods, Kat had Sylvana closing on Alvin rather quickly, she was within a game or two of level 11 (with a good third of her TU left) but she got exploded into a cloud of parrot feathers and raised as a mid 9 .. she will probably finish the year as a low 10. Kat actually prefers playing Katali if she has a choice of PCS.

Kat actually prefers playing Katali if she has a choice of PCS. Well I prefer playing Sarian, first characters were often impulsive, usually the second or third one has a bit more oddity or flavour to it. Maddy seems to be in a perpetual state of being only on one TU huh... I expect Sarian will probably make 10, or at least 9 (depending on if he plays cores or regionals) whilst Damun will probably make 8. Its mainly nice to be playing in the higher APLs for a change, though I am beginning to think APL6-8 is optimal for roleplaying as unless it picks up again, once you hit 10 it becomes a lot about the combats. Sarian has come crazy close to death, but a lot of that was a really dodgy combat and nasty encounters where he had to take on a purple worm largely by himself... (not fun when you are a rogue) If it wasn't for the caster cleric with FoM it before being taken down giving me flank with his quarterstaff, probably would have been a near TPK. - As for the Dale, don't think I will be making it back m, working at a company here for a couple of weeks during the holidays, as well as a few 21sts, so was going to pester you to hang around lol. (Patto's prob not going back either) As for broke had the most brutal loss in poker last night, $50 buy in (for a student thats a lot) 8 players, me and the last guy, both go all in on this hand, essentially winner will take the game cos their chip lead will be so massive, I have pocket aces, he has pocket kings, he goes all in, I call, (flop is a (2, 7 and an Ace, rainbow). 2 kings come on the turn and river. Bye bye $400 kitty. Sigh. Had a near flawless game too, but thats cards for you. What are the chances.

Damun Carries blocks of cheese around so that every now and then he can munch on some.

_metz_ 05-31-07, 09:16 AM	It's a good thing m, haven't played with alvin for a while. In other words, haven't been fearful of everything exploding/shadow creatures/somehow offending ALL sides... As for Vodka and cheese, funny story, but a mate had a 2 litre bottle of Absolut (duty free, I know its insane) And there was a wine and cheese night, so we instead stole a lot of the cheese... and had a vodka and cheese and poker night. in the end everything tasted like cheese. fantastic.

I thought you musta retired after arguing with that beholder in the first game followed by that game where i reduced Fel from 160 odd HP to the negatives in the first round and he only survived by the skin of his silly star metal DR !!!! And a maybe on the other stuff if you aren't ski-ing or doing magic or something though you will probably all die a horrible death in the first hour :)

And trust me, there's some Leap Attack in there somewhere as well...I can just smell it. ooh .. leap atttack .. will that work mounted ? gabby looks at another piece with a little label on a stick "Planar Shepherd" hmm wonder what this does.
_m_ 06-05-07, 05:38 AM	we do all the cons :) ... though I might taken a raincheck on pheno yet seeming as cheeky_ktty is already down that way and is slot zeroing our intro for the Canberra crew during the week so its not quite so essential I actually go. I thought you musta retired after arguing with that beholder in the first game followed by that game where i reduced Fel from 160 odd HP to the negatives in the first round and he only survived by the skin of his silly star metal DR !!!! And a maybe on the other stuff if you aren't ski-ing or doing magic or something though you will probably all die a horrible death in the first hour :) lol, you know armi is the only character as hard to kill as alvin... 24 fort save anyone? that was pretty funny when u nailed fel... i was pretty sure he was dead :D but yeah, i dont plan on skiing in the winter (its water skiing kids). so shud be good :D im back on the 4th.
cheeky_ktty 06-05-07, 07:04 AM	Hey m. You still haven't told us why you were dressed as a 7ft tall woman. So who gets the brownies?
_m_ 06-05-07, 08:32 AM	I'm affraid metz gets the prize. I was the evil queen i a circus production. i looked HOT too (unsurprisingly).
_metz_ 06-05-07, 08:54 AM	Course I get the damn prize. I have to get something for putting up with ya this long! jk...

RedKnightofKet 06-05-07, 09:02 PM	how bout a hug? (u can have one redknight :D ) Yippee! Free hugs! Did I even guess? I can't remember now.... oh well :D
_m_ 06-05-07, 09:51 PM	Yippee! Free hugs! Did I even guess? I can't remember now.... oh well :D u know i'd give u a hug anyway ket :D
_m_ 06-05-07, 09:51 PM	Brownies! Yay! What do wild-magic-infused brownies do? Is it illegal as it sounds? If I can somehow still get points, can I have both. *gives a glance in the direction of metz* I may have to fight for them - but squirrels fight better when there is food involved. and dont worry squirrel... il make you some brownies anyway, u dont have 2 fight.
RedKnightofKet 06-05-07, 10:57 PM	u know i'd give u a hug anyway ket :D I would expect nothing less...;) so, let's get back to the laking, shall we? :D

draxynnic 06-07-07, 01:28 AM	OOC: Who thinks he/she is a reincarnation of the real Hanne even though the real NPC one is still alive ? My badlands dwarf Carbunckle played a few games with Hanne. But Carbuncle believes he is Flan and is on a mission to convert Perrenland to Joramy. which hasnt met with a lot of positive response I must say (blight and all), so he didnt really find him/her all that odd. Aside from which he hangs around Katali a halfling who insists she is not short, the rest of the world is just too tall, so he is used to struggles with reality. Convert the whole place? Nah. That would be being rude to Pelor, and last I heard, Pelor was one of the allies of the Hearth Mother. All we need to do is teach them to pay the proper amount of respect... especially the Grove.
_m_ 06-07-07, 07:45 PM	All we need to do is teach them to pay the proper amount of respect... especially the Grove. The grove don't seem to like alvin very much... never could work out why. actually they dont like fel either... and NO1 likes armi... what IS it about my charcters?!

cheeky_ktty 06-21-07, 11:33 PM	Hi everyone. I have finally found a computer with net access! Hey m, our next gamesday in Armidale is on the 7th and 8th of July. We are attempting to get an apl 10 game going but with Silvana being blown up again at Pheno (yes for anyone keeping track, thats two deaths in a row by the exact same means, and same damage. Maximized scorching rays hurt... Oww) and the rest of Armidale only having eights, it doesn't look likely. We will also have a guest from Canberra coming (yay, we feel special). Anyway, Katali will happily jump into the little row boat at the lake of laking and row about happily for the duration of my absence on-line, Vininie, Gabbie, you are always welcome to come along and anyone else.

Kat: Patto and I have played most of the mods you are after, and have gone through some of the modules. a few heads ups after our discussion (AS I imagine he will be DMing) Eo is Level 10 now. Thogg is Level 7 with a 5th cleric cohort. Shane is level 8(?maybe?) And I estimate Madeleine would be almost 9 if not already. Assuming Alvin is a 10 (reasonable) and that there are a couple of other 8s floating around (your Brothers/Shane2) an APL 10 is highly plausible. Silvana is probably an 8 after deathing? <Jimmy has a cleric but I imagine it would be low on TUs correct?> HOWEVER: I would recommend NOT taking part in the following games at APL 10 WITHOUT a decent cleric: <these aren't really spoilers, just needs a balanced party) - The Village <would suggest APL 8 with your Party, and GET Chris Tart to play.> <Needs an experienced DM, e.g: you, glenn, patto> - Story for Another Day <Needs an experienced DM, e.g: you, glenn, patto> Games I would not suggest playing up in: - Drowning by Numbers <Needs an experienced DM, e.g: you, glenn, patto> - Cloud of Darkness - Shrouded Shores of Abanfyl. (I am planning to DM this next time I get back so not much worries there if you don't have a DM nobody has to burn the mod). A level 6 character will probably die in Shrouded shores. Don't play if you don't have 4th level spells. You won't be balanced enough (arcane or divine) But you do have to work with what you can. Best of luck with organising a game, wish I could help out by DMing at the games day but staying in Sydney as we have already discussed ;) As an Armidale resident, just some input cos I have played the mods you are after, and know what we have. (we need more players sigh) Also if you have the net and reliable computer access now, you can get Patto/Me to DM some modules online for you to DM for those guys. BACK IN CHARACTER: *Sarian wonders why there is a halfling paddling about in the lake in the middle of the race oblivious to what is going on...'

clannagh 06-24-07, 08:17 PM	Tracey, Crystal is pretty much offline at present so I am replying. Your PM inbox seems full so I am reposting the message here in case you didnt get it. Games day is weekend of the 7th and 8th. Dave Adams is apparently coming up from down your way and we occasionally see Scott Mcmanus or Patrick Williamson pop up from Port MacQuarie. There is also an Inverell group contacted Crytal about playing in Armidale but I know nothing about that. The Armidale group will likely be going up for fastbreaks gamesday on 13th July in Brisbane as well. The emphasis up this way is on catching up on Ratik/NMR mods due to the proposed Perrenland return (which unfortunately doesnt actually suit Armidale being so close to QLD) . As far as I know Crystal's proposed plans for the gamesday in July are as follows. *************************************** Saturday 7th : AM Intro Mod - Price of Power RTK 7-02 Slaughtered Unicorn PM NMR 6-02 Mad Baron of Pike Meister RTK7-?? Thin Air OR NMR6-05 Gift of the Tempest *************************************** Sunday 8th: All Day The Village (two parter) AM/PM NMR7-02 Wake of the Tempest RTK7-03 Strange Days Possible table of Intro: Badgers Gnomes and Crabs *************************************** Additional backup Games booked which may get played in evenings or something if not used at games day: Shrouded Shores (proposed at APL8) , Scourge of Howling Hordes (intro), Tears for Bright Sands (low level), Dominion (proposed at 6). There was talk of running Story for Another Day but it seems unlikely we will get a viable table .. the few APL10 capable characters up this way are either in Red hand or already out of time units. At some point in July I am running Red Hand but that will not be until much later in the month. If you need somewhere to stay I can offer an airbed or lounge but be warned you will have to put up with a couple of insane partially emo/scene 14/15 year old girls on school holidays. -m- will also be home by then and may have some alternate accomodation ideas if you do decide to come up. shame you didnt make Pheno Glenn F.
cheeky_ktty 06-26-07, 02:35 AM	Hey Copper Wyrmling, Clannagh has done a great job of summing it all up. I am pretty much classified as being off-line, the only time I can get on is when I feel like a bludger enough to ask my neighbor to borrow their computer. So any other questions will be answered fastest by Clannagh (I'm so lucky to have him as a DM's assistant, thanks so much Clannagh). He can pass on any major emergencys. Hi Metz, Yep spoken to Patto, and gotten everything sorted. Shame you couldn't come but these things happen. Katali will paddle in another direction. Katali likes variety.

_m_ 06-26-07, 02:22 PM	m's updates: hi kids, kittens, squirells, other sentient and not so sentient creatures. Ive had HECTIC exams these past few weeks, hence the no activity. Ive missed you al terribly. I finish my last exam this mroning (its 4am atm, exam is at 8). characters: alvin is actually an 11, and fel is comfortably around 12, with easily over tripple didgit hitpoints (as long as javelins dont hit him... with no ac), so im down for it. armi is a 7, so she'sa game for stuff too. theodore is only a three, but at least TWICE as cheesetastic as alvin, so /shrug, id run him in a 6 :D games: ive played pikemaster (at 14), thin air, slaughtered unicorn, and i THINK price of power. pretty sure ive played gift of the tempest, but dont bet the boat. i have the tu's to play maybe 3 more peren games with alvin, and armi can squeeze a few in b4 she holds out for rhod. im fairly sure i 'havent' played wake of the tempest, so apl 10 or 12 table perhaps? looking forward to rhod. im happy to be the tank for that one, due to my hp and saves. i'd realy like it if we could try and find a few things i havent played, especially if we have visitors comming, cuz i havent payed in AGES. (stupid bankruptcy) dates: back on the 30th now, with patto, going back to syd 23rd. accomoddation: trace, i can deffinately offer you at least a few days accomodation at my place. im pretty sure patto will be staying there too for at least a week. if u lemme know when abouts ur thinking of coming, il see what i can rack up. ________________________________________ ______________________ NOW... back on (or off) topic. Alvin looks around, noticably surprised. He finds himself in a unique situation. theres a noticable LACK of dimensional anchor (always a good sign), no anti magic fields, no lawfull or good aligned characters to prevent him from exploding... or even exploding other things, no bastard swords, no beolders, no brutal trowing javleneers... in factt... avin starts to get just a LITTLE scared that theres noting to be scared of... until he sees..... "Top'o'th'mornin't'ye'li'll'skwerl!!!! what brings'ye't this part'o'the'race? suuuurely ye'wuda'dun the smarter option'n'grabbed yerself a lift'wi'that vehicle'o'the'rogues?! ar well. dont get me wrong, i like'ye'n'all, but i cant'b'going'round loosin me own race, so im gonna'haf't... *casts ottilukes resilient sphere... possibly his favourite spell* now... since polymorph is out, alter self is out, and extradimensional travel AND shadowstepping is out... "mutters some more shadow incantations. this time something actuall appears to happen. Alvin starts to float, starts to grow bigger, darker, more glowy. His movements become blurred, he becoms oven more opaque, like a gust of wind would dissipate him. theres a pause, an intense silence. He turns and nods to fel, "mind tha'no1'finds'it..." and then with the tiniest of whooshing sounds... and then with a great deal MORE sound, as he amplifies his voice ALOT... he BLITZES forwards. HEEEEEERE I COOOOOOOOOOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
_m_ 06-26-07, 02:25 PM	yes, you heard me. oven more opaque.
_metz_ 06-26-07, 09:47 PM	yes, you heard me. oven more opaque. Good. You are done. Over the next few days stuff is happening. You should come round. I aint going back to the dale as you know so we should do coffee before you leave. Get Chris involved in the games m, he hasn't done any gaming since we left. Yasmin dispels the otiluke's resilient sphere. (Sarian has grown a fair bit since you last saw him buddy, he is now level 9 with a cohort who can cast level 4 spells :)) Sarian draws a few scrolls of dismissal...
clannagh 06-27-07, 12:38 AM	heya _m_ Gabby thinks Alvin needs to do more of those "beholder + roper at the same time" encounters like last Brisbane fastbreak, that will slow him down a bit. Don't expect too many high level games from the Armidale locals as most PC's over level 8 are drastically low or completely out of time units. There is talk that the revised perrenland metaorgs may not be quite so TU hungry (metaorgs plus one retrain plus one game of hellspike dropped madd to way under half TU before she even got started this year). I havent spoken to Kat recently but I suspect she is running more APL 4-6 tables than anything else. (I am personally hoping to get mid level tables together to play Abafynl and Dominion with my stonelord ... though not at the games day itself .. we will see)

"Nobody will play with me, either, little squirrel." :weep: "Everyone mutters stuff like "We can't do APL 12-14, sorry". I don't know what they mean. And everyone seems to have abandoned Perrenland: I'm the only one who wants to go adventure in Iuz's Border States..." :allalone: "They don't have squirrels in Australia, you know. Maybe you could be a one-eyed koala? Or a marsupial mouse? Or a tree-kangaroo?" "Hmmm. Our friends seem to all be racing away. Want to come with me?" Azrien whistles sharply. A moment later a smoky black horse with silvery mane and tail comes cantering down through the air. Azrien swings up onto its back, still holding the squirrel (unless it wants to get down). "Let's catch up to them, hmmm?" (Phantom Steeds run at 4*240=960ft / round, or roughly 3km / minute or 175 kilometres / hour - although I'm not sure what the rules are for fatigue on spell effects, it might not be able to keep that speed up for an hour. It also goes from zero to that speed instantaneously. Azi really probably needs a windshield, but meh, it's Magic ;) )

Maybe you could be a one-eyed koala? Or a marsupial mouse? Or a tree-kangaroo?" "Hmmm. Our friends seem to all be racing away. Want to come with me?" Azrien whistles sharply. A moment later a smoky black horse with silvery mane and tail comes cantering down through the air. Azrien swings up onto its back, still holding the squirrel (unless it wants to get down). "Let's catch up to them, hmmm?" (Phantom Steeds run at 4*240=960ft / round, or roughly 3km / minute or 175 kilometres / hour - although I'm not sure what the rules are for fatigue on spell effects, it might not be able to keep that speed up for an hour. It also goes from zero to that speed instantaneously. Azi really probably needs a windshield, but meh, it's Magic ;) ) Gabby hands Azi her spare WWI flying helmet a set of goggles and a long woollen scarf .. "That should do it, hope your wearing riding boots."

"They don't have squirrels in Australia, you know. Maybe you could be a one-eyed koala? Or a marsupial mouse? Or a tree-kangaroo?" "Hmmm. Our friends seem to all be racing away. Want to come with me?" *perks up, narrows his eye* What about say a one-eyed drop bear? Apparently they command respect! *settles in on Azrien's shoulder* Yeah, let's go! Gabby hands Azi her spare WWI flying helmet a set of goggles and a long woollen scarf ... *looks sad, then jealous, then perks up* Good idea Gabby! *pulls out monacle* *chews a bit off Azrien's new scarf to make a rather ragged, but functional squirrel sized replica* Am I fashionable now too?
lunarfish 06-28-07, 04:12 AM	MN, as in Minnesota, USA? Or MN as in some other outlandish place that also goes by the abbreviation "MN"?
copper_wyrmling 06-28-07, 07:11 AM	*frowns* I would be glad to come adventuring, but Austrialia is literally almost a world away from MN. You're telling me - the direct flight over took twenty-six-and-a-half hours thanks to delays at JFK :weep: What about say a one-eyed drop bear? Apparently they command respect! Azrien looks consideringly at the squirrel. "Hmmm, we might need to find you an Animal Growth spell first. But then, sure! We can practice once we find the others, I'll featherfall you if you don't get the hang of it at first." *chews a bit off Azrien's new scarf to make a rather ragged, but functional squirrel sized replica* Am I fashionable now too? Azrien casts Prestidigitation as the cheesy landscape whips by below and tidies up the ends of the squirrel's scarf, also turning it bright blue. "What's your favorite color, little squirrel? Oh, and thank you Gabby!"

_metz_ 07-03-07, 10:14 AM	As of October 4-7th 2007, NSW Australia will be rejoining the Perrenland Region. (And the Iuz Border States.) An interesting development for many posters in this particular thread. I personally have mixed feelings on this. I am halfway through a writing a module and once I have moved back the region will be different! I just got used to Ratik as well. Good for some, maybe not for others, in any case, play as many Ratik mods as you can! (I know I will)
cycloptic_squirrel 07-03-07, 03:42 PM	MN, as in Minnesota, USA? Or MN as in some other outlandish place that also goes by the abbreviation "MN"? Just the good ol' land o' 10,000 lakes. Not there at the moment, but should be able to catch the next Source gameday. You're telling me - the direct flight over took twenty-six-and-a-half hours thanks to delays at JFK :weep: Better than a journey that takes same amount of time and a distance of only about two and a half thousand miles. Stupid thunderstorms in stupid Houston. Azrien casts Prestidigitation as the cheesy landscape whips by below and tidies up the ends of the squirrel's scarf, also turning it bright blue. "What's your favorite color, little squirrel? Oh, and thank you Gabby!" *looks down at the newly bluified scarf and frowns* But now we don't match! *wrinkles his nose* Though it is pretty? Is it more fashionable? Oh, and favorite color? It's hard to pick just one. *looks thoughtful* I'd have to say light urple.

You can always move to Canberra kitty :)

I am personally probably going to leave Sarian in Ratik, its a good thing I have left Damun in Perrenland though. I would prefer to Stay in Ratik myself, but I am sure we will all get used to it.

You can't take any of Lake Quag! Sarian has a ship now, and needs somewhere to sail now that he is going to be back in landlocked Perrenland! (he may actually stay in Ratik) Yasmin was going to be a Sea Witch too... Oh well, better start work on my other characters.

_metz_ 07-10-07, 06:39 AM	SOMEONE COMFORT ME *cry* alvin AND armi are out of tu's. what will m do? Sarian has 6 left, If he plays the right mods he will hit level 10 before the end of the year. Damun has 11-14 left (can't remember). Most of those will be used up in Winterfest I imagine, and I am using what games I can to level up another character to play in the APL 4 perrenland games from year 6 :)

Maddy Carbie and J'ko will ALL run out of time units with this weeks games, none of them are finishing that high in level as have been deliberately playing them up at half XP/ half gold to slow down the levelling so they can develop more role play wise .. none of my characters are overly effectual combat wise so playing up can be a bit scary, especially for Carbie who has been doing IUZ 10's up at fastbreak. That leaves me with Level 5 Gabbie on 20 TU and several level 2's. The combination of adaptables plus the ridiculous number of core mods starting at 10 has meant that even with 3 primaries I have run out of TU's on all my high levels. I had plans to go to Cairns for Spring Revel and teh move back to Perrenland but I am now thinking its way too far to go just to play a batch of low level PC's :)

Going to take pollution down to Zero! I would actually see him as a Sorceror/Arcane Heirophant. He definitely turns into elementals, so theres some Druid action happening there...

I would suggest Obad Hai over Joramy, as he is at least more 'nature'. Same weapon there.
_m_ 07-21-07, 09:47 AM	maybe you should make captain planet a cohort. try and get access to say, a guardian familiar, or perhaps a paladin special mount. something you can summon through an intricate serious of ring movements. u cud even get ur character like, rings of elemental command of each sort (ok ok, a little expensive... shhh) alternatively, have sum1 who thinks they're a whole lot better than they are :D

Lomiat 07-25-07, 08:14 AM	lol. that would be hilarious. im still trying to work out how to make a blind combat character work. m, you'd have to make an arcane hierophant with a seeing-eye dog that benefits from every buff until you pick up some kind of scent or tremor sense or something to let you target squares that you can't see. (It does rule out a whole lot of targeted spells, though -- but that might just prove interesting.)

cycloptic_squirrel 07-31-07, 04:07 AM	*comes running up with a folded parchment in his mouth* Hey, you guys are smart. What's a "ekongnomic reviterlizashun pro-grame"? *sounds out the obviously unfamiliar phrase and points to it's reference, in the parchment he unfolds* 'cause, whatever it is, I think I should buy one for my hippie shelter when I build it Dear squirrel, It was good to hear from you. I myself just concluded a foray into the Vesve Forest, though proceeding with my business pursuits was difficult, save for one particularly rewarding week (27 pairs!). The trip was soured by no less than two experiences where I was deceived into entering this 'fey realm'. I was told that it was 'the most wonderful place you can imagine' so I'm thinking something akin to the legendary Wall Street, but when I arrived it was actually this horrible place populated by all manner of hippies. No one was working or positively contributing to any of the economic indicators that might raise a nation's GDP; they were all frolicking and lounging about. Meanwhile the land itself is ripe for exploitat utilization, and those ignorant beatniks sit on it, clueless as to the economic might they could develop with such resources. And absolutely none of them were interested in any stock! Underpants! Sorry about that, I put the quill down and that stupid bird picked it up. On my way back to Greyhawk I was actually recruited by a local organization to ascertain what economic interests Iuz might have in this secluded house. Turns out the thing was crawling with hippies. It was also the location of a series of seemingly successful hostile corporate takeovers (which must have failed in the end, I was still CEO after the incident). While investigating the infestation, I suggested developing large industrial operations in the land surrounding the house, as the proximity of productive activity would have weakened the hippie influence within the structure. Another consultant hired for the investigation then suggested to just deal with the problem in the house; I agreed. A strong economic revitalization program based in the house should neutralize the core of the problem. With that in mind I drew up paperwork officially creating a satellite office of Gnome Enterprises Ltd., but shortly after doing so, many complications arose and ultimately it was deemed best to close the new branch office. Anyway, I looked into your stock portfolio and determined that your holdings were somewhat limited for the kind of returns I assume you wish to secure for your future. While diversification does have many benefits, I would actually recommend to increase your holdings of the stock you already own; the profit margins are predicted to be huge. I strongly suggest that you buy more shares of Gnome Enterprises Ltd. as soon as possible. Sincerely, Wedgie Businessman Extraordinarie and CEO of Gnome Enterprises Ltd. [Just returned from MN and the Sheildlands/Highfolk dual regional there; good times were had by all, or at least me. I can confidently say I had a blast every table I played there, though I think the highlight may have occurred when my gnomish wizard truestrike-grabbed the rod of wonder away from the enemy and the rest of the party responding with the comments of, "I think things may have gone from bad to worse." Thanks to all who recommended Mad House on these boards - an amazing mod that I thoroughly enjoyed.]
CrystalBlue 07-31-07, 08:39 AM	[That was you, Cycloptic?! :O I was your judge for the Highfolk interactive! I killed you...TWICE! :D And I did love your story about that place with no economy.] *The foxie poofles in, licking the fur on his back* Mrow...hello alls. I'm...back here? *looks around and yips loudly* Damnit! Stupid upper planes never leading to the right place! *pads over to the squirrel and reads the note* Hey...that sounds like a gnome I know...small guy, nicely tailored three-piece suit. *yawns and lays down, putting his head on his paws* Too bad about him not finding any oppertunities. He should have ventured deeper into the vineyard...he could have started it back up and made a very nice profit. I mean...the Sidee aren't going to do anything with it. They don't have the type of economy savyness that he does.
Lomiat 08-01-07, 01:02 AM	*yawns and lays down, putting his head on his paws* Too bad about him not finding any oppertunities. He should have ventured deeper into the vineyard...he could have started it back up and made a very nice profit. I mean...the Sidee aren't going to do anything with it. They don't have the type of economy savyness that he does. Lomiat appears from the Astral Plane, obviously displeased. "The proper spelling is 'Sidhee.' Even on the Astral Plane, one can hear you mangle the pronunciation. The H changes everything. "As for your 'business savvy,' yes, I suppose you might say it was not the most cunning of decisions to sacrifice the forest to save your lands from the Old One's disease, but we made that decision nonetheless. And STILL it took a full year for you to acknowledge our claims the woods transplanted from the Vesve to the Shield Lands. "If you or any other members of your accursed Beer Faction ever cross the Sidhee again, let it be known that I spent the majority of that insipid 'debate' collecting images and items to go with the names I overheard. By my most recent calculations, I have an accurate record of 73 different individuals suspected of voting against the Sidhee, and, of course, when I say 'accurate,' I mean that I expect that I shall see you whenever and wherever I desire. "Now, please, continue to whine about the Sidhee at your own detriment; I have other matters to attend. It appears I've been personally requested to enact some rich woman's vengeance against an encampment of the Scarlet Brotherhood. I expect those Sueloise bigots will rue the day they slew the Dakon before me." Lomiat pauses, then looks at the length of his shadow, gauging something. "Come, Isis, Teleport us away from here." With that, a golden hawk peeks its head out of a tiny seam in the elf's thistledown armor and utters a strangely articulate cry, and the two disappear.
cycloptic_squirrel 08-01-07, 02:28 AM	They don't have the type of economy savyness that he does. Well, he does claim to be smart. But he does some really weird things. And uses a lot of words that don't make sense. *stares wide eyed at the hawk's actions, his question of bizzare termonology forgotten* Wow! How'd he do that? I want to do that! *grimmaces and looks side to side, thinking* *proceeds to try and immatate Isis' cry, but really just comes out as a series of garbled cries* Rgrrokk! Rckrrrkk! Rwrrrck! [That was you, Cycloptic?! :O I was your judge for the Highfolk interactive! I killed you...TWICE! :D And I did love your story about that place with no economy.] [Yes that was me :) I wonder who else I met without realizing who it was? And though you did kill me twice, I had much fun trying to contribute as a 4th level in an APL 6 interactive - very glad I did that instead of another Highfolk mod. As far as the farie realm, I'm just amused that Wedgie views some utopan paradise as inferior to Oerth]
CrystalBlue 08-01-07, 08:25 AM	*gives a look up at Lomiat as he Box Text From Oblivion's him into not being able to defend himself against the wholey unfounded anger and rage* Ack! But...I...grrrrr.... *stands up and starts yapping angrily* I voted for the Sidhee, you damn elf! Gods, it makes me wonder why I ever sided with your kind now! Damn haudy bastards living in your stupid fey realm. Your old home tortured the hell out of my poor friend Remi's mind. Saved the Sidhee multiple times, had to kill Bo...and you still treat him like crap. I have half a mind to...to...ack! *sits back down and licks his paw* I just ment that the ACTUAL vineyard would have no use for the Sidhee, because they couldn't care less about beer. *pads back up to the squirrell and pats his head* Don't worry about it, little one. I doubt you can teleport...unless you're someone's familiar.

That's the sad part.... we need to get this thing moving again. I'm gonna be gone at GenCon soon, so we need to make sure this thing stays on the first page while I'm gone.... I don't know if I will be able to make any "live from the Show" postings... Anyone else in this crew going to GenCon? And what are you playing/running?
Puggle Halfwine 08-04-07, 12:13 PM	Praise Britt!

_m_ 08-04-07, 05:09 PM	um, might be winterfesting, tho all i have left with tu's is the super-cheesy theo. not realy sure if its worth it. depends on my time. im kinda saddened at my poor thread... its be going so SLOWLY of late...

What are you doing up so early? Oh yeah... you don't sleep... (I have an excuse I am slot zero-ing in a couple of hours and have to train it out to the western suburbs...) Definitely come to Winterfest, if just for the interactive: they are a lot of fun. If you like I can run Scourge for you patto and a couple of others if you haven't played it yet and get you a different level 2 to play! Also you suck. where's my coffee? Don't make me come to UNSW they are... not normal... (says me who definitely isn't) USYD FTW!

cheeky_ktty 08-05-07, 10:37 PM	m, would you like me to take your character folder to Winterfest? I am definately going to be there. Hmmm... dental huh? The cult must be advancing pretty slowly, Puggle. You should try handing out pamphlets, baking little muffins with Britts holy symbol on it and handing them out or maybe creating a 'Lord Britt' clothing line and wearing it around.
_m_ 08-08-07, 01:29 AM	aye. bring the folder plase. even if i dont manage to come, il get u to give it to metz or patto or summat. i hope to make it, but since i dont actually know whn its on, that might prove a smidge tricky. thoughts ne1?
_metz_ 08-08-07, 03:21 AM	Winterfest is on this weekend. There are still some slots available, but Gammo would probably like to know in the next 24 hours, as tables etc are all being finalized now. He usually likes to know what characters you want to play at which APL as well. Enclosed are the modules in question. The convention hours are 8.00am on Saturday 11th August and closing on Saturday night at 10.30pm. Reopening at 8.30am on Sunday 12th August and closing at 6.00pm Players MUST register at least 15 minutes before each scenario is due to commence. # Slot 1 RTK 7-05 Warrior's Moon # Slot 2 RTK 7-06 Horror in the Timberway # Slot 3 NMR 7-04 Signs and Portents # Slot 4 COR 7-10 Dark Gem # Slot 5 Ratik Interactive set in Foreign Quarter, Marner. I am staying at Patto's house from Friday to Sunday night/Monday. I imagine you can stay there also if you ask him. (Though I already have dibs on the mattress, but you don't actually sleep so no worries!) Patto lives about 25 minutes by car from the joint, so its easy to get to. Bring a costume for the interactive, its encouraged! (Sarian will be there pirating it up) As for your Folder, I am sure Kat can bring it on the morning in question. *waves at Kat "See you at Winterfest!"

cheeky_ktty 08-08-07, 10:18 PM	Cool, I will bring the folder. I'm going to be there for all the slots and I will play Katali in the interactive. Yay for my annoying halfling rogue!!! I'm so proud of her. Sarian? Isn't he the rogue Katali played with once? He wanted her to stand in the middle of three orcs so he could get a flank, right? He He, she's a bit different now to what she was back then... :D Oh, and she gets her first level of Shadow Dancer next level... I'm so happy...

I'm so happy... m and I went out to the Marly hotel last night and had a good long chat (m's hair is a terrible colour now imho, needs to go back to purple) and is coming if not too busy. Kat, Sarian and Katali started out adventuring in the same module. I remember it. We both wanted rogues and built them that very mod. m built mike that mod too I think. Sarian is just bigger now! (9th level) And hey, you were a rogue, flanking with those orcs meant they all died! it worked! *grumbles about rogues not willing to be risky to do whats necessary... its not very roguey... grumble grumble...
_m_ 08-14-07, 12:00 PM	so how was winterferst. tel me, on a different note, are people bored with our happy little thread, or are we all just too busy?
CrystalBlue 08-14-07, 01:41 PM	GenCon, m...GenCon. That plus work. :D
cheeky_ktty 08-14-07, 08:28 PM	*sigh* Been busy... Sydney last weekend, Brisbane next weekend and Darwin next month. I'm doing more traveling in 6 months than what I have my entire life.
_m_ 08-15-07, 11:19 PM	when is gen con
clannagh 08-16-07, 01:46 AM	when is gen con i think there is one in the UK this month ??? the australian one is almost a year away - early July 2008 I believe
lunarfish 08-16-07, 02:03 AM	Gen Con Indy is this weekend in Indianapolis, Indiana (August 16-20). Apparently 4.0 is being announced there on Thursday evening. Should be exciting for those attending.
_m_ 08-16-07, 10:37 AM	awsum! definately going to ave TU's next year!♦
clannagh 08-16-07, 07:06 PM	awsum! definately going to ave TU's next year!♦ If you take a rebuild :) For me rebuilding a character is something akin to getting the cheat codes forced upon you .. it sort of renders the character pointless . I will not be rebuilding anything.
lunarfish 08-16-07, 11:55 PM	Of course, this is assuming that LG is not discontinued as of May 2008, when 4.0 is released. On a positive note, I certainly hope that we do get a rebuild. I really need to fix some bad skill point and feat selections on a couple of my PCs. Ryan B.
cycloptic_squirrel 08-17-07, 11:49 PM	I'm hearing a lot of talk about a new edition and what it means for LG. Will our campaign world still be here? Would the players follow a transition? Will LG still have rules allowing sentient unioccular tree-dwellers? I'm scared. *cries*

This will be discussed tonight or tomorrow So there will be more information by the end of the weekend. I believe that this means we will either have a force-retirement of all pre-4th edition PCs, or else we will have a new campaign in the Greyhawk setting. Apparently more will follow, and I shall wait to judge until then.
_metz_ 08-19-07, 01:08 AM	NO more LG. Sarian: "Ladies, Gentlemen, and associated non gender specific entities. It was a pleasure knowing you all. My ship is sailing out into the east, come join if you wish, I don't think we will be coming back..." The Golden Argentvorax sees the last of its supplies loaded up, and Sarian turns wearily to Chief Artillery Officer Eowimia, and Bosun Thog Ogarth, "Its been a good few years adventuring together lads. Its been a good few years." The ship waits for a while more, for those last few who wish to leave. A haunting tune is played by a Halfling Bard on board, the music chilling and sombre... The Lizardfolk Watchman sits quietly in the crows nest, looking out for any on his roster. He keeps particular eye out for the Shamrock, a ship that Captain Sarian looked forward to sailing east with... On the shore, The ship is seen off by a horde of zombies and skeletons from Perrenland, almost sad that they won't get a chance at the ship, blissfully unaware of the marketing cataclysm about to be unleashed upon their world...
_m_ 08-19-07, 01:28 AM	"Ship Ho" comes the cry from the crowes nest of the Shamrock. Looking across the bow, the gnome captain, Furious 'the fighting monky' gorge spies the colors of an unknown ship. 'Battle stations lads!" "Belay that order" There is a small disturbance on the bridge of the ship, and a shadowy, somewhat indistinct door appears. Out of it strides an unlikely group of adventurers; covered in various colours of slimes, scorch marks, and general wear and tear. Armi leaps through first, holding a small demon by the throat in 1 hand, and an unconcious theodore in the other. She is followed closely by a large, furious looking monkey, who backs through the door, holding back what appears to be litteraly hundreds of extra planar beasts. With a howl, he wrenches the door shut, despite the giant Emphereal hangman holding it open. As the door is about to close, a colosal explosion rips through the plane, very nearly escaping into the prime material plane. a few very tense seconds elapse... then with a barely audible 'pop' a small, black, semi see through gnome appears at the helm. "Alvin you GIT! you took us to the wrong bloody plane again.!" Shouts the green monkey man. "Fun though, wasn't it?" The gnome grins. "Stand down from ur battle sations boys, thats sarians ship. We'll be traveling together. Now if you'll excuse me, i have more people yet to bring on bored. There are friends yet of alvins who i'll not be leaving behind." The gnome shimmers, waves, and dissapears again.
clannagh 08-19-07, 01:42 AM	Gabby flying past on her hippogriff waves as the ships leave .. Sorry guys but my friends and i intend to die a glorious death sometime very soon and I do not think we will bother with those free raise deads.
LGMoses 08-19-07, 02:02 AM	ur fun little MUDD or whatever will die with this forum. It dies with the campaign. The FR will either be dead or alive with the chatter of fanboys complaining about how there weren't enuff drow in their last adventure or that elminster didn't show up.

You know I understand people being upset. I understand that people have dedicated a lot of time and effort for LG. But this acrimony that you show towards FR, and how the new living campaign will be run, should probably be placed on hold until you see how it will be run. No need to make rash statements now in the heat of passion only to have to take them back later. Lets see how it pans out and then discuss your displeasure of fanboys and such.

Played a lot of FR both on and offline. Playing a Drow was fun even if we continually got our bottom smacked for trying to play evil too realistically. But despite the good bits, overall I did not like the setting.
_metz_ 08-19-07, 04:19 AM	With a distinctive pop, a grizzled Dwarf appears next to a female Elven Wizard on the bow of the Shamrock. "Alvin old Friend! the Dwarf remarks, I recognise that hazy shadowy little Kershane Elf anywhere? ack, I missed him, silly little git." *The dwarf produces a bag of holding with 1,271 broken Bastard swords in it, and hands it to Furious George the Fighting Monkey* "It sure has been a while, I am going to miss the land of this place. I notice he still has that odd skin rash... Let me know if he wants to do something about that shadowy stuff yet..." Damun concentrates briefly, then he says; "The shamrock is a place to do it as any." He starts gesturing slowly, and after a short while, and some slow quiet muttering in Dwarven, The winds begin to slow down, and the fog is pushed back into a sort of corridor. "Clear winds old friend, to make it easier on the lads - He turns and eyes the crew of the new Vessel, We have been expecting you... there will be Guinness, Lager and Rum on the 'Vorax This evening if you are up for it, as well as a Game of Ulthek Dragon Ante. Officers invited." *He pauses to hand over the bastard swords to FGTFM to do what Alvin wishes with them* "best be orf, It'll take a miracle for us to get through this... much must be discussed with the soul forger and all that..." *The wizard, silent up to this point, who seems somewhat bemused at Alvin's appearance, and the reaction the old Cleric of Moradin had when he divined it, steps forward, places a hand on his shoulder, and the two vanish.*
_m_ 08-28-07, 02:24 PM	well boys n girls... kittens... squirells, knights, dragons, cheeses, japangirls (grin), those wierd and unusual people who actually knew me pre STT, i guess this is pretty much the end of our little adventure. ne1 who wants it should probably grab a copy of this b4 the LGH pages shut down (dont worry, not ne time soon) its been.... well, its just kind of been, really...

Man; I go find someone, start a family, plans, plans, plans. So much is changing...Wow. Well truth is I actually met this great gal. A griffin. Her home plane is some Gods ruled place though. Forgetting it's proper name right now though. Gone so long it was hard remembering the password back to this place. How's everybody.
cycloptic_squirrel 08-30-07, 03:42 AM	Party at m's? Yay! *looks expectantly at the paladin* we're going, right? right? You're coming, right Akhamshyy? Wait, what? A griffon? But I thought you were a frog-winged cool looking thing. Aren't you supposed to date other... treefrog/dragon/cool-light-beam-angelchourus... person... type? Not judging of course, but when I was younger I had my eye on a pixie that looked pretty cute and my aunt threw a nut at me and hit me in the head and she's never really been too right upstairs, I mean who throws away a good nut? One time I found this soda can I could have sworn was edible, but she threw it out and I never found out what happened to it. So the moral of the story is... um... what were we talking about?

I mean how crazy was that black dragon in the Hool Marsh.

Wondering what It'd be like right now... *tiny frog hops up to Clannagh, stretches arms wide as they expand with his form into a 5'8" tall olman with raven black hair, glowing bronzed skin, wearing a well made haversack....and a few rings* So lets try out this clothes thing... ooh yay !! makeover time .. awesome *tips the contents of hewards out with product and makeup and old fashion magazinnes falling all over the place* lets see .. raven hair, bronzed skin .. hmmm out of date *tosses away* here is some nice product that will suit raven hair .. no too emo .. are yes this is perfect now clothes !! ... you are up on like the latest greyhawk fashion trends and stuff I assume ?

Lomiat 09-01-07, 09:30 PM	Holy Crap! This thread is 40+ pages long, and is just a conversation thread. WOW! Mark It's not "just a conversation thread." It's the premier conversation thread at the RPGA forums; all others are imposters. Plus, there's the secret pact we all made with m in blood, and now she leverages our souls against our post counts.

But like it doesnt have no beard or anything .. unless .. ooh maybe its a girl unicorn .. awesome !!! A unicorn would explain why it seems to have this permanent Magic Circle against Evil thing going down. hmm I am still going to call it "my pink pony" because it looks like a pony and it is pink,

clannagh 09-04-07, 08:10 PM	"Eeeep, how do you know me, elf-y person?" *Glares suspiciously* *bluff check* Remember i sold that horse and cart to you and that strange little halfing called vinnie a few weeks ago. he seems to have accidently have paid me with fake gold, I will have to talk to him about that. is he around ?
_metz_ 09-04-07, 08:39 PM	Speaking of party's... m - A night at the Roxbury tonight at the Salsbury bar, If you are in the area, msg me. Myself and a bunch of mates are going, and will most likely end up at the marly afterwards. Bring your UNSW folk if you want
_m_ 09-05-07, 06:58 PM	sorry, im performing in a play every night this week. pretty fun, but its kinda eating all my time. do u get a mid sesh break? and yes katali, u can come.... if you just... shut up a bit.

"Hmmm, sounds a bit familiar... Vinnie isn't strange, he's a legitimate business man. He's just subjected to a lot of bad luck, like the fake gold. Some one obviously cheated him... Poor Vinnie... Oooo Yay Party, ok, I'll be quiet. Got any rum?"
_metz_ 09-05-07, 11:18 PM	sorry, im performing in a play every night this week. pretty fun, but its kinda eating all my time. do u get a mid sesh break? Yeah I get a mid semester break from the 20th onwards. I will be in Tamworth for the first weekend for a 21st, was going to go back to Armidale for the rest of the week but thought better of it, so will be free that whole last week of September, and remaining in Sydney. Let me know if you want to do stuff. From Kat: Got any Rum? The Rum is always gone. Ask m why.

_metz_ 09-06-07, 09:23 AM	Why don't you wanna come back? We Armidalians don't bite... that hard... all that often... Yeah, but Armidale is so... Boring! - Aside from a bit of gaming (which aint that much really, and I need a break from DMing) Not that I don't want to hang with you Kat! *pets the kitty* Nah I need to organise a grad position for next year, have ANOTHER 21st on the 29th (sigh thats like 7 in two months) and generally do some stuff. Methinks the more important question is: Why don't you come down to Sydney more often my dear? :P We don't bite... (well m does, a little...)
CrystalBlue 09-06-07, 12:29 PM	Why is it that all the cool people live in Australia? I wanted to meet m sometime...*sighs* Well...you all have your party...I've got a Flanness to save. *gets up and blinks* Wait...I forgot how to get there again...where am I? I seem to be in a Realm...but I Forgot what it's name is....
clannagh 09-06-07, 06:58 PM	Australia also has drop bears and a wide selection of harmless snakes and reptiles that are safe with children and make perfect family pets .. oh and hippo racing in Kings Cross, Sydney that is always popular.

Turn around and go on a hike through dense forest. Or go another way, and enjoy rolling farmland, horse drawn buggies, and friendly folk. And you know what I forgot that too...

And over there. And standing....right....behind you. :schemes:
_metz_ 09-27-07, 11:02 AM	lol fine then, whats ur number? ill call u! and yeah, this just aint good enough. Why write in this thread when you have been around the last 4 days? silly m. Patto says you should play more world's biggest dungeon. Anyhoo, have a fun coast trip.
_m_ 09-27-07, 11:34 AM	indeed. off to the coast weekend. meanwhile, ive just realised what a hypocrit i am. i dont facebook or blog, cuz they're freaking lame... yet thhis is just like a nerdy version of both. lol
_metz_ 09-27-07, 10:15 PM	meanwhile, ive just realised what a hypocrit i am. i dont facebook or blog, cuz they're freaking lame... You don't facebook yet because some chick (or guy) that you have been dating has insisted on you doing it doing the holidays to stay in touch. You haven't been away for long enough to justify it. Alternatively, it could be because you are all fresh (hiss) you haven't gotten into facebook thing. It was created by 2nd and third year uni students and thrives as a uni student thing. Its only recently everyone else has jumped on the bandwagon. Though I would like to point out after deciding never to talk to afformentioned certain person who signed me up to facebook ever again, I use it increasingly less and less... It'll probably happen eventually. If I know you... (And I wager I am one of the few who do) Patto says you suck, as we are playing a CORE APL 10 tonight and you aren't here. I am inclinded to agree. But have fun at the coast, would have taken that option also...
_m_ 09-28-07, 09:07 AM	lol. i may indeed suck, but /shrug. its a 10. like u really needed alvin for that bad boy :D
_metz_ 09-30-07, 01:07 AM	lol. i may indeed suck, but /shrug. its a 10. like u really needed alvin for that bad boy :D lol. oh btw Patto and I demolished everyone at Sydcon cagematch (understandably) - Go Gnomish Sorcerors! Well we aren't hanging around for the 2nd round but we were winning. You back from coast ye? if so, World's Biggest monday. Also we got world's biggest City. Apparently I am running that. (not for a while though, its a bit different from the dungeon, have to prep the WHOLE thing, and actually write encounters in and stuff)

_metz_ 09-30-07, 09:09 AM	yeah im around, though for wbd, i cant go all the way out there or stay the night. i have a test monday. and i still maintain that a wizard would have worked better. You didn't replenish spells in between rounds. Still think the wizard was better?

copperwyrmling 10-11-07, 06:30 PM	Took me ages to work out it had to be your original address, not a new one - why they need email address as well as your password beats me... I tried my family email address, my gmail address, my alumni account from my undergrad university, my old undergrad student address, and my current student address. I have a suspicion they may be looking for one of my family's old email addresses, which have been defunct for several years (and I can't remember what they were). I didn't even realize they had an email address on file for me (hence why I hadn't kept it updated). Ah well, I'm sure I can cope with losing the _ ;)

RedKnightofKet 11-14-07, 04:38 PM	Sorry, m and gang, I have pretty much been off the boards for a while. A friend of mine hooked me up with Civ IV, and I've been addicted ever since. Let's not call this thread dead until we hit 1337 - come on, folks! We gotta do this!
lunarfish 11-15-07, 12:51 AM	Don't feel too bad, m, it seems that much of the life on this once-vibrant board has migrated elsewhere. It's not just your thread. Strangely, I too feel as if a little piece of soul-stuff is missing... Perhaps this thread, and the forums in which it resides, were more important to me than it appeared. Or more likely, m has gone and filched it when I wasn't looking. If that is the case, m, I advise you keep that handy. You never know when a little bit of someone else's soul might come in handy. Like that time in Azzagrat, with that lovely succubus lass... Ahh, those were the days. Regards, Lunarfish
_metz_ 11-15-07, 08:21 AM	I won't lie, this thread did impress me m. I think Lg dying, and you going to college didn't help. (I told you that you would be off partying the whole year and have little time for gaming, I am surprised you got any in, I know I didn't my first year) Anyways see ya soonish, if not this weekend then when you move in on the 27th/28th (I think we should get patto drunk)
RedKnightofKet 11-15-07, 10:49 PM	Yes, it seems that it's a combined death - the forum, LG, and the thread that bound the lot together. ah well, it was fun while it lasted.
_m_ 11-16-07, 04:34 AM	lets not kid ourselves... the forums and the website only died BECAUSE our thread died. not the other way round :D and we only died because lgh died. *grin* power to US!

copperwyrmling 11-17-07, 06:27 PM	In the noble cause of 1337ness... Azrien has seen Ultimate Magical Power and it was Evil. She is annoyed by this. It doesn't seem fair that someone with amazing spells like that should be mean and nasty and unwilling to share his spellbook with her :weep: Also, he killed a pretty kitty. She would like to invite you all (at least, all of you who live in Iuz's Border States, or may visit there) to help her get revenge on the drow diviner known as Kaquizel the Snake, murderer of kitties and hoarder of amazing spells such as Celerity. (He also killed a Lawful cleric, but Az doesn't really care about him, although she did get the Magic to bring his body back from Dorakaa.) Be warned: he packs Sudden Extended Time Stops, carries crafted contingent spells, and has a +29 initiative modifier (and Celerity). Min is still sulking about the fact that it's apparently possible to have Light Blindness without Darkvision. She can't see in the light or the dark, and she just invested a whole lot of ranks in Spot... :( On the upside, she's getting more and more difficult to see, and her shadow-magic is developing very nicely :mage: Btw, m, we should play Min and Alvin together sometime ;)

I hear there are lakes in other worlds too! Perhaps laking can be brought to other places, other faces, and other small, cycloptic, nut-collecting rodents. Lunarfish

RanielK 02-04-08, 11:04 AM	I just gotta wonder, was it every possible for this thread to get locked for going off topic or did the WizO's just stop looking after post 500? This reminds me of the Spam Spam Spam Spam tribute book. Somewhere on about page 50, it stopped repeating Spam Spam Spam and begin showing top secret information. Seems a spy took over his local Monty Python Fan Club, produced the book and used it to smuggle out the secrets he was stealing. The censors were unable to keep their eyes from glazing over when reviewing the thing and thus they missed this little tidbit. It was only an obsessive fan who read the whole damned thing and complained about the TS in his Spam that blew the whole scheme up. Just gotta wonder what secrets to the universe are actually laying around post 456.
TetsujinOni 02-04-08, 02:51 PM	Hrm. I don't know if I want to know what TS information is hiding in post 456.... *Pushes over another glass of milk* It's 2% baby, and try using this. *hands squirrel a straw* *stops and thinks...takes straw back* Let me show you. *demonstrates how to use the straw* There, get to it and enjoy.:D

kinevon 02-07-08, 02:39 AM	grumbles about grigs and how they make such annoying encounters that always take lots of time but never are much threat... Unless, of course, the PCs are supposed to TALK with the grig, in which case they'll get a crit hit on the first attack while the grig is still flatfooted. :(

It iches and your clothes don't seem to fit right afterwards. Plus there's all those hours missing. All of that without the attendant buzz from a good bender. And the hangover's worse.

_m_ 02-09-08, 08:25 PM	hit a high lvl green star adept hard enough and it turns FROM a statue BACK into a person. will this, then, prompt people to go around punching statues to see if they turn into people?
cycloptic_squirrel 02-26-08, 06:04 PM	since when does death make u forget things!? Not always. Sometimes death gives you cool powers like fly, malevolence, and +4 turn resistance; all with the slight drawback that clerics seek you out and shine flashlights at you. I miss the squirrel... Yay! I'm missed! When winter hits, squirrels tend to get lethargic and hibernate. Though I am happy the thread is back. I checked back in Januray and was sad to see it was missing. Or not see it missing. Rather, I couldn't have seen it missing, but I could have noticed that I didn't see it, though that doesn't mean it's not there, I could have just rolled a 1 on my spot check (or with my spot a 7). Either way, I'm glad the thread has been zombified and is now terrorizing the living threads. of COURSE you miss the squirrel... its gotta have like +12 size and +10 dex to its ac. Don't forget the -2 morale penalty to hit something small, cute, and furry! Unless you're a heartless amboniation, such as a lawnmower golem. :(
copperwyrmling 02-26-08, 07:13 PM	Yay! I'm missed! The Squirrel returns! :cloud9: Either way, I'm glad the thread has been zombified and is now terrorizing the living threads. I think it should be a lich thread! Zombie threads are boring and slow-moving.
cycloptic_squirrel 02-27-08, 01:37 PM	Well, this thread has been moving somewhat slowly the last month or so. But the boring requirement rules out zombie status. I guess it could be a lich chained to a broken VW bug or something. Though, are all zombie threads boring? I mean sometimes the protagonist shows up with a chainsaw and things get really interesting for a bit. :plotting:

And thus August's curse of always getting hurt at a GenCon was continued for another year. Fortunately, the next year, he went uninjured!

stonebasher 05-28-08, 06:00 PM	(And now for something comepltely different):D Heres something I thought up a long time ago. It is based on Bon Jovi's song "Wanted Dead or Alive." It's all the same. Only the names have changed. Everyday, it seems we're wasting away. Another place where the faces are so cold. I ride all night just to get back home. I'm a fighter. On a warhorse I ride. Orcs want me dead or alive. Orcs want me dead or alive. Sometimes I sleep. Sometimes it's not for day's. The people I meet best go their seperate ways. Sometimes you tell the day by the bottle that you drink. Sometimes you are alone and all you do is think. Because I'm a fighter. On a warhorse I ride. Orcs want me (want me) dead or alive. Want me (want me) dead or alive. And on I ride... (guitar solo) And I'm a fighter. On a warhorse I ride. I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive. I walk these streets. A loaded crossbow on my back. I play for keeps. Cause I might not make it back. I been everywhere (oh yeah) and still I'm standing tall. I seen a million faces, and I chopped them all. Cause I'm a fighter. On a warhorse I ride. I'm wanted (wanted) dead or alive. Oh yeah I'm a fighter. I got the night on my side. Orcs want me (want me) dead or alive. And I still ride (still ride) dead or alive. Still got my pride (my pride) dead or alive. Dead or alive. Dead or alive. Dead or alive.

kinevon 08-27-08, 12:49 AM	Greyhawk Reborn Greyhawk Reborn is a player-based initiative to keep playing their Living Greyhawk character following the demise of this great campaign by the RPGA. Greyhawk Reborn is not affiliated with the RPGA in any way (even if most of the volunteers are members of the organization). I know of a wiki, yahoo group and a php forum for it.

Lomiat 10-23-08, 03:42 PM	Lomiat sits in a tavern, disguised as a human in black robes, and watches a new generation of adventurers, half-dragons, tieflings and machines among them. They fetch their drinks and proudly call themselves mercenaries before rushing out to batter upon others for the first employer willing to hire them. "Old Wicked would have a field day with these ones," he mutters into his goblet of elven wine. Isis, his hawk looks down from the rafters and utters a cry, sensing his master's mounting fatigue. "Come here, Isis," says Lomiat, holding up his hand. A small crowd of gawking adventurers, wizards and warlocks and fighters, appears astonished to see a man talking to a hawk, but Lomiat merely suggests they would be far more interested by their drinks and that they should forget him. They do. "So, it appears the Uncaring One was right, my friend. This is how the world will end. The humans will forget the gods. They will play with magic until they wrest all of the art and intricacy out of it, and there will be no place for elves. It seems we'll have to work harder to connect the Wraithwood to the fey realm. We need to find a way out... All of this time I worked to counteract the Tanelorn prophecy... Wasted." The hawk flutters its wings once and then settles on Lomiat's shoulder. The wizard looks at the bird for a moment, and it squalls. "I agree. Though the end has arrived, though it is inevitable, we shall make Iuz pay for his part in this." He reaches in his coin purse for silvers to leave at the table, and as he does, an elven woman, all slenderness and grace in mithril chain, walks into the tavern. A couple of the young adventurers express their interest in crass terms, but she ignores them. "Lomiat!" she calls. "Tenser requests your assistance... again." "It's too late for the meddling fool to make a difference..." "You OWE him, Lomiat... Dear. Don't make bets if you only intend to renege if you lose." "Very well. Let's go." Before the two elves step out of the tavern, though, Lomiat addresses a pair of wizards discussing their battle against a gang of kobolds. "I overheard your admiration of each other's strategy, but the differences you enumerated in your utilization of magic were so painfully scarce it could be said you were casting small variations of the same spell over and over. You are rank amateurs at best. If you are the arcane powers this world shall rely upon... I shudder to think where it is headed." The younger of the two, a red-headed human, turns to address Lomiat. "Hey! It's none of your fu-" And with a readied gesture, Lomiat turns the man to stone. "Learn to fix that. Then get back to me. Good day." The elves leave the tavern, and Lomiat teleports them to the beginning of the end of their adventuring careers.
_m_ 10-25-08, 10:08 AM	ah lomiat my darling. how i shall miss it all. my beloved stt-ers, my alvin, our beutiful greyhawk and our 200million spells at our dispossal. *sigh* what has become of us?
Lomiat 10-25-08, 02:55 PM	ah lomiat my darling. how i shall miss it all. my beloved stt-ers, my alvin, our beutiful greyhawk and our 200million spells at our dispossal. 200 million + 1. I have Prismatic Bow.
_m_ 10-26-08, 07:46 AM	get a real bow u gimp. force is where it is (was) at.
Lomiat 10-26-08, 10:29 PM	But I like statues.... My "real" bow is only a +1 sacred exit wound bow that gets upgraded to +5 all the time. So you can see why I'd prefer shooting people into statues or sending them to random planes. That's fun, too. Random planes.

Except for when poor familiars are blasphemied into Gehenna and we need to mount an incredibly expensive rescue mission to retrieve them!
Lomiat 10-27-08, 12:06 AM	Except for when poor familiars are blasphemied into Gehenna and we need to mount an incredibly expensive rescue mission to retrieve them! Poor familiar? After all the 18th level PCs went AWOL, that's probably the richest familiar in the Flanaess! What's Maesto's net worth now? 800K + priceless artifact? Meanwhile... there *could have* been an Extraordinary Spell-Aimed AMF Contingency to protect us during that fight, but someone (well, some couple) complained about how AMF was going to hinder the all-caster party (plus Burke)... On the whole, they were probably right. And if Maesto can't learn humility (I mean, with his new WIS score, he really can't, can he?), it's probably best that his familiar does ;)

As for Maesto's net worth, I have no idea. I'll need to go calculate. But the priceless artifact is definitely on there. Maesto's wisdom is a proud *5*, thankyou very much. I don't know any other character who has a lower wisdom, and I'm proud of it, although I do know one PC with int/wis/cha of 4/6/4 ;-) But hey, his raging strength is 40! *waves to Grog*.

Maesto 10-27-08, 09:18 PM	i know a character with wis 6 dex 6 str 6... but his static int is 38, so... Ok, I'll bite. Best you can start with is Int 20, plus a reincarnate away from grey elf to get your dex that low. +6 Headband gets to 26. Assuming you're talking about a 16th level PC, that's four bumps to 30. I know there were some 25% dicounted +3 book access favours around to get to 33, and a certain NMR module can bump you up to 37. Alternatively, if you didn't start as a grey elf with max int, you need a +5 book to get to 38. :confused:
Koushiro 10-28-08, 03:39 AM	One of the dragons with kobolds mods had a bonus too, but I don't think it stacked with a book.

Mentioned that one. Wasn't aware of miscellaneous bumps though; I only know of one module that had that in it, and I know you played it at the wrong APL to get the bump ;-) (it's retired, so... Shadows of a Dread Spiral, High APL, one party member could eat a fruit of chaos, which you rolled a d10 for (I think, might've been a d8), on a 1-6 you got a stat bump in a stat, as if you had gained sufficient levels to do so). Where are the other two from?

Rebuild to starting charisma 17, +1 from shedding scales, 4 bumps gets you to 22. +6 cloak to 28, and snowsong bumps to 32. What's the expensive spell that gives you another +4? (I'm guessing it's a limwish spell which would cost 1500 gp a shot as a 16th level character?)

(I'm guessing it's a limwish spell which would cost 1500 gp a shot as a 16th level character?) I'm sure I have told you ;) The LimWish spell is Righteous Aura, from the SpC: hours/level Daylight and +4 sacred bonus to Charisma (and if you die you explode in a blast that disintegrates your body, heals good creatures for 20d6 and does 20d6 to evil creatures, 40d6 to undead). It's a paladin spell.

Where's the love for wizards? :( At least I'll legitimately be able to cast spell enhancer, the cheap way ;) (assuming that the swift doesn't have a better use!)

The swift almost always has a better use. You guys revel in your cheeze of any flavor level. I'm going to stick with the access I was given and see how that works out ;) (/me just put Ray of Dizziness on his "wouldn't it be nice" list, along with Celerity, Heroics and Greater Enlarge Person..... except, really, not as nice because it's more broken and less interesting... hmm...)

Aye... I don't expect to be doing much with Maesto. He's survived just fine with what he's been given so far. I certainly won't be using Celerity (unlike some authors ;)). I stand by my belief that it breaks a core premise of the game.

You mean bad guys with 32 INT who "stand there and take it" and die after they've taken their actions? :P It certainly resurrects a lot of the action-advantage problems WotC and the campaign tried to remove with errata to 3.0 Haste and Shapechange, etc. BUT... bad guys who survive and prompt tables to burst into applause when someone kills a **rat**... Those are the bad guys I like to create from time to time... And if I need Celerity to create them, so be it. ;)
cycloptic_squirrel 12-31-08, 04:30 PM	Well, with the end of LG, I don’t know how long this board may be around, but I felt it was important to make one last visit and make my peace. I’ve decided to say my general goodbye here, as it was this thread which helped bring me into the community and continually brought me back for more. I’ve genuinely enjoyed it as well as my LG experience in general. I’d like to express my gratitude to the LG volunteers for all their hard work, most everyone I’ve played with, and all who participated in this thread. Special thanks go out to Dave Guerrieri, a former Keoland triad whom I always found helpful, insightful, and accommodating; to copperwyrmling, whom was always fun to interact with, whether rule discussion, LG theory, or just stupid creativity; and also to Lomiat, who continually brought me back into the fold of LG in the past year. All good things must end, and LG is no exception. There will be other games, other systems; I know there is much more out there for me to experience, though that will not stop me from wishing I had a little more time in LG. Such is the way of the world. It is times like this that I refer to something once told to me, ‘Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.’ Wishing all of you the best, cycloptic squirrel
copperwyrmling 01-01-09, 12:59 AM	‘Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.’ *sniffs and wipes away tears* Thank you, I'll remember that. I just quit all my LG-related Yahoo groups, and I miss the campaign horribly already :allalone: It's been a good five years. Thanks to all the STTers for all the random chatter, especially m, lomiat and cycloptic_squirrel :cloud9: Thanks to the PST Online group, especially Brad for organizing it, and Jolyon and Scott for introducing me to LG and online gaming respectively :bow: Thanks to all the Triad members and Circle members, convention organizers and authors, and the people who let me stay at their houses or crash in their hotel rooms at the conventions I visited :cheer: Thanks to John du Bois for running Wheels Within Wheels for 12 hours on New Year's Eve, and to Maesto, Keth, Drufus and Olivia for joining Azrien and Tane in the final coda to their saga :tiphat: I will miss this campaign, and this hobby, but mostly I will miss all of you. Take care. Best of luck with whatever you choose to do next. Happy New Year! :pint: All hail Zagyg! :mage: -Azrien the Dreamer, Sagacious Ally of the Empire CN Sorcerer 6 / Wild Mage 6 / Fatespinner 2 / Ruathar 1 / Mindbender 1 (16) EDIT: And hah, WotC still hasn't managed to get my address out of me, and I can still post this goodbye. Silly requirement anyway ;) This is my last post to these boards - so long, and thanks for all the fish :cool:
WolfStar76 01-01-09, 01:14 AM	Well, with the end of LG, I don’t know how long this board may be around, but I felt it was important to make one last visit and make my peace. At the risk of going slightly on-topic in this thread (sorry m!), I don't intend to request closure on this forum just yet, even if it is Jan 1, and the campaign is officially over now. So long as there's a little (legitmate) traffic trickling through, I'm happy to leave it as-is, for commiserating, rememberances, goodbyes, or general chatter. Eventually (within a few months I suspect) however, conversations will die off, and I will be requesting its closure. I'll make it a point to post a week or two in advance, however, so that it (hopefully) won't just be a blind shock to anyone. Please note - this is all assuming someone else at WotC doesn't deside to pull the plug on their own. I can make requests - but what they do is, ultimately, up to them. For all I know Chris Tulach, WotC_Michelle, or other official people may have a formal request for a lock to go in any second now. Enough from me. Back to your regularly scheduled nonsense. :)
RedKnightofKet 01-01-09, 10:05 AM	The STT is dead. Long live the SLFRT. I will miss the fun and nonsense of this, the original. The LFR is fun, but nothing compared to this, and it likely never will be.
Maesto 01-01-09, 05:47 PM	*sniffle* Beautifully put, copperwyrmling and cycloptic_squirrel. Time for me to post my final goodbyes, both here and to the yahoo boards. It's been a great run. I remember the excited feeling I had when my first character made level two, almost six years ago now. I don't want to think how many hours went into this campaign over those years, but I think they were all well spent. What I've enjoyed most out of these years is the people I've met and the friendships that have grown and developed. Some of you I may never hear from again, but others I'm sure I'll stay in contact with for time to come. People to thank... ugh, such a long list. Let's start with all the circle members in their various incarnations and the triads, for organising everything. To all the authors, for making this campaign possible. To all the people who drove me around, put me up in houses or hotel rooms, for the love of a hobby. To the con and gamesday organisers and the DMs. To those who played with me over the years, and there's been a lot of you. A special thanks to those who've run marathon gaming sessions online, you know who you are. To the online bunch who've played so much with me this past year; particularly to copperwyrmling, solbergb, Lomiat, Drufus, and John du Bois. I know I must have missed somebody in there, but thanks to you too :) I've had a lot of memorable moments over the years, but few have moved me to tears. The two I remember most vividly were the final boxed text in the Shield Lands finale, and the final restoration of the bright sands in Restoration and Empire. The girl with the -1 sense motive had it right all along, and her kobold companion was very proud to be there with her at the end. I'll miss you all, and I wish you all the best with whatever endeavours you pursue. My enthusiasm for roleplaying and D&D has dwindled these past few months, but all of a sudden I miss it all the more :allalone: Smiling for all that has happened, Jolyon aka Maesto, Tash, Grumpy, Afahl & Isadi, and the ever-lovable Conan
RanielK 01-03-09, 08:04 PM	Awesome! It's been fun and see you in the SLFRT!
