Crossing The Worldwalls [OOC]

[Ellas Aramond]

Alright folks, I figure that I'll keep an up-to-date party roster here for easy reference.

MorkaisChosen: Brother Erasmus Theosophus "The Academe" (http://thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=9207)-Human Archivist
Illiterate Scribe: Azariah L'Imre "The Blind Observer" (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/view.php?id=43366)-Air Genasi Artificer
Krimm_Blackleaf: Huu Farraige "The Warper" (http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheets/view.php?id=43551)-Changling Anathema Mage
Neftren: Hargil Blackrose "The Blackrose" (http://www.shonuffstudios.com/gothmoor/profiler/view.php?id=212)-Ghost Elf Soulknife
Storm Bringer: Talask Tallerhand "The Ebony" (http://www.coyotecode.net/profiler/view.php?id=3180)-Human Mirumoto Niten Master

Alright, with that out of the way, heres just a little more I want to tell you.

I'm planning for this to be mainly character based, so that means that I don't plan for there to be much DM herding. I'll still be giving you missions and things, but how you accomplish them is entirely up to how your characters decide to pull it off.

Also, if you decide that there's something you want you character to do as a side quest, please talk to me about it, and I'll see how I can fit it in.

Oh and one more thing, I'd like you all to PM me something your characters would never want anyone to find out that you didn't put on your sheet.

[Storm Bringer]

hmmm, lookinh back at my post it appears I hand a bad attack of Ilitteration at the start of the second paragraph.....:smallfrown:

anyway, thier will be a PM to you in a sec ellas. just got to think of a suitable hook......

[Neftren]

Can I type in Navy for my PC Chat color?

Gotta go now, but I'll get an IC post up later.

[Storm Bringer]

don't see why not........

[MorkaisChosen]

Oh my god, that music actually makes it AMAZING. I'm not joking here, that is truly epic. Thanks!

Erasmus speaks in Sienna, although I'd just call it brown.

[Illiterate Scribe]

Azariah has no need for your pathetic colorful speech, needing only Garamond italics to convey sense and meaning.

:smalltongue:

[Ellas Aramond]

Oh my god, that music actually makes it AMAZING. I'm not joking here, that is truly epic. Thanks!

*laughs* Good to know someone agrees with me. I've been listening to the Doctor Who music while writing things lately, and just realized how neat it is to listen to it while actually reading it.

[MorkaisChosen]

Incidentally, these lighthouses on the ships- do they flash when they cross the worldwalls, along with a sound as of the messed-with noise of keys being scraped up and down a piano's bass strings?

[Ellas Aramond]

That, my friend, is something you'll have to wait and see. :smallwink:

[Storm Bringer]

just like to say that these first few posts have been top notch it looks like I've managed to land a good group of RP'ers for once.

(last PbP i had was full of "I walk up to the orc and hit it." types. good to be with the "Edward charged foreward, battle cries on his lips, and smote the orc with his sword" crowd again.:smallbiggrin: :smallbiggrin:

[Ellas Aramond]

If any of you are wondering why I'm taking so long, I'm waiting on Neftren.

Oy Neftren, if you're reading this, Post already!

[MorkaisChosen]

I'm not the most experienced PbPer, but I do my best... At least I've managed to pick a reasonably RPable character...

[Neftren]

If any of you are wondering why I'm taking so long, I'm waiting on Neftren.

Oy Neftren, if you're reading this, Post already!

Ooph sorry. My subscriptions wouldn't update.

Stop stealing my Garamond italics! :smalltongue:

[Ellas Aramond]

Heh, don't worry about it Neftren. I just have a tendency to get slightly inpatient.

[MorkaisChosen]

Oops... Got the skill bonuses wrong (Tangled Web is blocked at school). Actual results are:

Using Read Magic, Spellcraft check to identify the rune: (1d20+15)[32]
Knowledge: Arcana to see if I recognise the silver-globe trick: (1d20+16)[29]
Spellcraft for same: (1d20+15)[23]
Knowledge (Planes) for same: (1d20+14)[28]

Sorry about that...

EDIT: Another thing...

We'll need to work something out for any sticking-sharp-metal-into-things we do- I'll be after using a generic Knowledge check (not Dark Knowledge) to find out what things are most of the time, and I'd like to be able to shout something thematically appropriate when I make the Dark Knowledge check (usually in the first round I have available). Because of the time-zone difference, it'd be difficult and clunky for me to make a Knowledge check and then have to wait a day to do my turn- the only alternative I can think of is to have something spoilered with the Knowledge DC to learn it outside (that requires trust and you don't know me very much, so it depends how paranoid you are!).

An example of the kind of thing I mean: the Pseudodragon Lore from the Wizards website would be done like the following:
Knowledge:Arcana DC15
This tiny reptilian creature with butterfly-like wings is a pseudodragon. This result reveals all dragon traits.

DC20 Pseudodragons are playful, mischievous members of the dragon family. Powerful individuals prize them as companions, and sorcerers and wizards covet them as familiars.

DC25 Pseudodragons can communicate telepathically with creatures that speak Common or Sylvan.

DC30 The eggs and young of pseudodragons can fetch a tremendous price.

You could bung one of them in with the description of the monsters as we meet them, then I and any other Knowledge-users could make a Knowledge check in our posts and read the bits it lets us read.

Hope this helps...

[Ellas Aramond]

I think I could work something like that out. Trust isn't really an issue right now, everyone just has to keep in mind that if I suspect anyone of looking at it, that random gnome NPC WILL turn into a very angery elder white dragon. You have been warned.

[MorkaisChosen]

Eeeexcellent... That'll speed combat up a bit- I'd really prefer to be able to put, "Erasmus shouts, "Aim for its eyes- they have no carapace," aiming his crossbow towards the creature's face" than "Dark Knowledge (Tactics) bonus +2 to hit for everyone."

[Ellas Aramond]

And here ya go.

[MorkaisChosen]

*Cough*

You guys still here? Nothing's happening...

[Storm Bringer]

yhea, I'm about. I'll talk in the mian room to someone in the morn.

[Ellas Aramond]

Sorry I'm taking so long, guys. Certain distractions in RL, combined with internet connection problems have made everything I'm doing take longer. If I can't get a post up tonight, then I will tomorrow afternoon. There's no way in the nine hells I'm letting this die.

[MorkaisChosen]

Oh good, this is a slightly awesome game, I was worried there...

:smalltongue:

[Storm Bringer]

slightly?:smallbiggrin: :smallbiggrin:

[MorkaisChosen]

I have a talent for understatement.

[Storm Bringer]

I have a talent for understatement.

indeed.........

[MorkaisChosen]

Looks like I passed my Knowledge: SciFi check a while back...

[Storm Bringer]

Indeed. but face it, we all saw that coming. I didn't see us going to the Guild Wars planet, but i suppose that fits the Kingdom Hearts side of the crossover.

[Ellas Aramond]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. I'm going to send you to plenty of homebrew worlds as well, so don't go calling me a hack just yet. :smallbiggrin:

[Ellas Aramond]

And so I return!

[Illiterate Scribe]

Rolling know:arcana and spellcraft
K:A - [roll0]
Sp - [roll1]

[Illiterate Scribe]

Also, Craft:Alchemy to back up all this old, natural philosophy-style SCIENCE:
[roll0].

[Ellas Aramond]

Okay guys, I've gotta ask. Everyone still alive?

[Storm Bringer]

well. yhea.

i was waiting for someone else to post.


methink me might need a wack form the clue bat (http://www.geneticanomaly.com/RPG-Motivational/slides/cluebat.html) to make progress

[Ellas Aramond]

Well, I'm waiting for you guys to stop thinking and actually do something. You've come up with a few good ideas, so act on them already.

[MorkaisChosen]

I'm alive.

Incidentally, anyone see Doctor Who yesterday?

Someone's been playing D&D.

[Ellas Aramond]

Yeah, I already saw it a few months ago on youtube, but seeing it on a large TV makes it all the more better.

I'm really looking forward to this season, it looks like UNITs playing a big role again.

[Ellas Aramond]

I'm not sure what's going on, Morkais, but I can't access your sheet.

[MorkaisChosen]

I'll have a look at that- can't get on TTW right now, but give me an hour or so to get home from school.

EDIT: Addresses have changed. New link: http://www.thetangledweb.net/ttw/addon.php?addon=Profiler&page=view_char&cid=9207

[Neftren]

Are we still going on for this or...?

[Ellas Aramond]

Not dead, not yet. Sorry I'm taking so long. School over here is winding down, and I'm getting caught up in the flow of make-up assignments. Just give me another week or two and I'll get this running again.

[Illiterate Scribe]

Hooray! Aramond is back!

[Storm Bringer]

it's alive. IT'S ALIVVVE! (http://www.goovies.co.uk/frank.html?campaign_id=twgoo2)


The Ebony rides once more!

[MorkaisChosen]

Hooray for the power of Gallifrey, or whatever.

[Neftren]

Alright, I'm back again, and doing a roll call, just to make sure that everyone's still interested in this.

[MorkaisChosen]

Yes, most definitely.

[Neftren]

Sweet. Count me in! I never got to gut that guy... I'm kinda miffed :smallbiggrin:.

[Storm Bringer]

Pataince is a great virtue in a samurai, and so here i am.

[Illiterate Scribe]

Illiterate Scribe, reporting for JUSTICE!

[Ellas Aramond]

I'm just waiting on Neftren, guys. I don't want one group to get too far ahead of the other.

[Neftren]

Apologies. My UserCP wasn't refreshing subscribed threads for some reason.

[Ellas Aramond]

Odd, but oh well.

EDIT: Also, I'm going to be gone for about four days on thursday. I might have internet access, but if I do it will be extremely limited.

Just a heads up.

[MorkaisChosen]

Oh, by the way, "Insert Earth Elemental fact here"?

[Ellas Aramond]

Yeah...:smallbiggrin: I couldn't really think of another fact, so I threw that in, and hoped that no one would roll high enough to see it.

[Illiterate Scribe]

Did you know you can donate one or all of your vital organs to the self esteem fund for earth elementals? It's true!

[MorkaisChosen]

A bit risky when the raison d'etre of one of the characters is to get ludicrous results on Knowledge checks...

[Ellas Aramond]

Well, I'm back again. And after that hiatus with the boards being down, I hope everyone else is as well. May as well do another roll call, but if you end up posting in the IC thread, that works too.

[Neftren]

Clarification: How many elementals remain at the moment?

[Ellas Aramond]

Two. The NPCs have been focusing on the one closest to Huu.
