Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
Yeah, I'm still here. Been a bit busy during easter, but I figured you guys had things covered while Woren was distracted and not an active part of the whole exchange.
If the desire is I write some fluffy 'what's going on in the background with Woren?' IC posts, I can do that.

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
Definitely a good thing to do. The game must keep afloat, we don't want it to end before we've rolled a single combat-related die, do we?

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
Mmm I tend to be online around the weekends for obvious reasons but that's probably not very healthy for PBP. I'll try to space it more evenly with the weekdays.

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
On the other hand, I'm mostly off during the week-ends, though I'll try my best to get a simple post or two during this moment.
Now, how do we proceed? I'll let you have the lead here, you socially-able guys and gals.VC XV, The horsemen are drawing nearer: The Alien and the Omen (part 1 and part 2).

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
I want to clarify something, what exactly do you guys look like with/out true seeing, and what auras are you/your equipment putting out? Annali, for instance, I imagined judged the PCs based on their equipment aura strengths. She's also (spoilers) under true seeing but that's not particularly important for mundane disguises.

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
Man, I guess we're appearing brilliant as Christmas trees under any form of aura vision.
Ux Utanar has the same appearance, but his equipment gives off a bazillion auras. We have:

-Divination: moderate
-Enchantment: moderate
-Necromancy: strong
-Transmutation: moderate
-Conjuration: moderateVC XV, The horsemen are drawing nearer: The Alien and the Omen (part 1 and part 2).

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
Alright, to the naked eye, Delja looks like this perfectly presentable wispling described here. True Seeing would reveal that she's a gaunt little unkempt scaly nixie as described on her sheet (the picture's pretty accurate too), with the exception that she's also wearing a faded, weathered black or dark grey cloak currently covering her right arm entirely (should I make a new Sleight of Hand check or the original one made to conceal her sword still applies?).
Her auras are as follows:
Head: moderate transmutation; faint illusion
Face: 2×moderate transmutation
Throat: faint gtransmutation; moderate transmutation; faint conjuration
Shoulders: 2×moderate transmutation
Body: strong necromancy
Torso: faint transmutation; moderate abjuration
Arms: faint transmutation; moderate conjuration
Rings: faint abjuration, moderate transmutation; moderate abjuration, strong abjuration
Waist: 2×moderate transmutation
Feet (ankles, really): faint transmutation; faint conjuration; moderate conjuration
Back: 3×moderate conjuration
On belt: faint transmutation; moderate transmutation; faint evocation; moderate conjuration
In her right hand: 2×moderate transmutation; moderate evocation; faint evocation

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
Ah, you think multiple auras of the same kind do not meld into the strongest of them? I assumed they would, based on a memory of how Detect Magic works. Crap.

Okay, okay guys, let's try to at least reach the 2/week post rate that was advertised for in the recruitment thread. We're almost facing the man we're after

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
Wow, nice! I didn't even know swarms were a viable target for that skill!

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
Animal-based swarms are (or, at the very least, I'm not aware of any rule that would preclude that). I also got lucky; they were the pet swarm of some minor antagonist, trained to guard a door, so they counted as "domestic" critters for the purpose of handling. Man, those were fun times!

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
Neat! That's the stuff of legends :)
As an aside, this is going to be my first game playing a mounted character, and I'm going to try and play by RAW the action economy of the mount and the Handle animal skill checks required. Just to see what happens, instead of handwaving it all as I've heard is done sometimes.VC XV, The horsemen are drawing nearer: The Alien and the Omen (part 1 and part 2).

PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT: I shall likely be away from the internet on this Saturday and Sunday (the 4th and 5th of June, respectively). I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may bring about.
If the need arises, she doesn't see and hear anything alarming and Myriad doesn't point out any obvious trap or effect, feel free to have Delja open the door and enter total defense until the dust settles.

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
Hehehe. Maybe Master Teru is one of the 17 people in the Great Wheel that can actually make head or tails out of these tomes...and he bought them all because his scientific publications got cited in each of them. At least, that's what I would do, if my publications got cited somewhere.

But then, maybe he isn't, after all (v. the annexed figure with weird orbs, a lot of wind but no Teru to be seen).

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
...yeah, of course he has eyebrows! Big, scaly, dragon-like eyebrows. Totally not horns, I swear! I mean, look at his profile picture on Myth-Weavers!

Re: Cosmic Hunters (OOC)
Go for it! I'm glad to see the Silver Key class actually put to good use, it's not a famously powerful PrC so it's nice to see a case where it actually is powerful!
As an aside, how are you liking your game so far @chaincomplex? If I remember the OP for the recruitment thread, you wanted to get back to 3.5 and use this little PbP to tame GMing again. How is that happening so far?VC XV, The horsemen are drawing nearer: The Alien and the Omen (part 1 and part 2).
