Old Ways OOC III

[Matthew]

We can retro to mere plate, if you like, but yeah, you purchased the fancy suit armor. (AC 0, which you should change on your sheet in in your IC spoilers, if you're sticking with it.)

All the combat posts suppose plated mail, so I guess he just commissioned it and left it back in town.

[Nevaera]

Oh, I noticed Bran was supposedly missing 3 hp in his spoilers, but I don't remember him ever being hit during this encounter. Perhaps a copy-paste typo?

[Roland St. Jude]

That happened in the initial assault. Description in the IC, number in the OOC:

Oops, I forgot to note in the spoiler Brandon 's -3 hp from that spear.

[Nevaera]

Ohh, right! I remember that now. Thanks. Guess I'd better try and give him a heal too. I'll roll it here instead of clogging up the IC.

Heal DC 10:
Brandon (1d20)[10]

Eh, he'll live anyways.

[Roland St. Jude]

Nathros cuts his head off.

Nooooo! Nathros has so much to live for!

[Kish]

Ach, now my dice roll high.

[MeanMrsMustard]

Hey all, I'm going on a pioneer trek from Wednesday to Saturday. I won't have any Internet from Wednesday to Friday, and I might be too tired to log in on Saturday. I'll be back to normal on Sunday, but until then, Alanna can be a DMPC. I'll be able to post tomorrow, though.

[Nevaera]

I LoLed.

[Roland St. Jude]

Still having some problems with my home internet access. Game posts likely to be slightly more than 24 hours apart.

[Roland St. Jude]

OOC: The berserker is speaking Traldaran, but heavily accented and really poorly. You can probably sound out what he's saying from the quoted text if you take a few moments. It's accented and run together, but it isn't gibberish.

[Battlemage]

I edited my post to fit the situation.

[Matthew]

I LoLed.

Me too.

[Koren n'Rhys]

Wow, good thing we don't really need to be silent and deadly right now, eh? Those rolls are all horrible.

[Nevaera]

Depends how you look at it.
If you were rollin' Status, they'd be terrific!

[Roland St. Jude]

ASH

Ash states her opinion, "They're berserkers. There's no reasoning with them. They've gone mad and likely teach their young the madness, if they have any. Maybe they kidnap children and torture them until they're as mad as themselves. They're at least as aggressive as orcs, if not more. It was dangerous to spare one and it'll be far more regrettable to allow it to live further. His mind is his body's, not the other way around. And his body wants to kill."

Sounds like Reavers!

[Nevaera]

Hah! I know right? I guess I got a little carried away. I suppose I wanted to spook everyone a little. Plus - it seemed plausible.

Heh, I just realized, my desktop backdrop is of Firefly.

[Frivolous]

Roland, may we have a guessimate as to how close we are to the temple? Like, how many more days before we arrive?

Bran plans to ask for one of the casters to prepare Detect Magic if possible, since the temple is probably full of dark magic.

A solid suggestion. You're still several days from Verge, the small town on the other side of the mountains. From there several days into the wilderness (I'm away from my maps right now, so I can't say exactly).

[Battlemage]

I don't have Detect Magic.

I'm too used to it being a default cantrip, so I didn't even think about it.
Hopefully Neela is more useful.

[Nevaera]

I'm not sure she has it either, actually. I think she has read magic and identify, along with sleep, magic arrow/missile, read language and detect evil.

Perhaps there's somewhere in Verge that a magician will be willing to sell/trade the spell to us or something.

Perhaps you could offer to trade invisibility with her for a spell of hers as well. ^_^ Like read language, detect evil, or identify. I believe that is a matter to be dealt with in character however.

Last time, with our elf and our human mage, the mage asked the elf if they could share spells once and the elf got so irate and offended about it that they flipped out on the mage and stormed off - very protective of his magic I suppose.
He was a quirky, grumpy, loner elf with a knack for getting into trouble and surviving by the grace of his allies. Kept things very interesting.

[Frivolous]

According to my (very old) book, clerics have Detect Magic as a 1st level spell.

So there should be no problem. We can forego a bit of healing, I think. Better to be able to check for evil magic traps or something.

[Nevaera]

Whoohoo! I'm not usually big into research cause I find these books a little daunting (a haystack of information -wow, I'm so unlike Ash). Now we don't have to worry! :D

[Roland St. Jude]

Injured party members heal 2 hp for a night of rest. If anyone still needs healing, Alanna or the priestess can use magical healing.

[Roland St. Jude]

Spoiler

Show

Alertness: (1D20)[20]
Of course, NOW I roll the twenties

Alertness:(1D20)[20]

Alertness DC13: (1D20)[20]

I think Alertness is cursed.

Maybe the group name should just be Companions?

[Nevaera]

LoL! You're just chock full of these, Roland.

[Nevaera]

ASH

Ooh, I wonder if they have an underground town or something in here... or a platoon, or a hidden city. I don't know, but dwarves, you know?
Eehee I'm excited.

[Nevaera]

Heheh, I think Ash's armor - since it's magical - is immune to dirt.

[Roland St. Jude]

Sorry for the delay. I'm hosting a large all-weekend party this weekend, so the next IC post may be today or tomorrow.

[Koren n'Rhys]

I've been crazy busy at work covering others out on vacation, so no worries. Next week will be bad too, so light posting from me...

[Matthew]

I have had a lot of work on recently, as well, so please forgive any tardiness. Anyway, I hope the weekend party went well, Roland!
