I Just Changed Into My Jammies: The D&D Game Discussion

@ Moephist: I should probably get something out of the way now: custom feats, if I actually do allow any, are going to be pretty iffy. The ones you have (Floating Shield and Moving Shield, specifically) are verging on the sorts of things that magic items would do. I can ask balrog and INUH if they think those feats are okay, and I think they are okay, if not a little weird for a 1st-level fighter, but I don't want to allow too many custom feats because that might throw off the system. What does "animated" mean in that context, by the way?

And it might take some work to make the frozen island work, with the new race and all, but I'll figure stuff out.

For a backup character, I might use those rolls for a swordsage or a scout or a monk instead, and use the cleric/warlock/eldritch disciple idea for a member of the Church of Dark Starlight. . . . Nah. The cleric/warlock I have in mind and the cleric that Loni Jay wants to play should be sufficiently different, considering I took the Chaos and War domains, especially when the multiclassing actually begins. And I wasn't expecting Cygan to decide on a rogue instead, but that should work splendidly.

And I have to say that Cygan's rolls were awesome.

Double post because I want to tally up those who might be able to make it today. I can, and I saw INUH say that he could, so that's two that I know of so far.

Sorry... The stuff I've been coming up with are mostly from other works I've thought up of. If the stuff, such as the custom feats or whatever, ends up being too much, I can try substituting them for something else.

In any case, I'm free today, as I've noted yesterday.

I am indeed free today. About time I was free for a day...

I've got some backups now so hopefully there won't be as many connection problems as last time.

I'm free from about 1:30, so if we could delay the game for an hour, I won't miss very much?

Also, my rolls were epic.

I thought we were going to start with the other group(Tramlaw, Felgrove, Heisa, Bugbear), but if you don't want to miss it, I'm not against delaying.

And yes, that diplomacy roll was epic.

That really was :3

If we're starting with the other group... >_>

I just don't wanna miss anything v.v

Nah. If I'm not needed, feel free to start on time, then.

We're on now and playing, balrog, if you're interested in seeing.

Apparently my computer interprets "I'm in" as "I would like for electronics to malfunction and prevent me from playing."

Sorry guys, after an hour of trying to fix it, decided to give up and go to sleep.

Alright, that explains why you were absent. Um... since everybody else was there, we played a bunch anyway. We didn't really do much with your character though. I'll post a log later.

I'm quite happy about my listen and spot bonuses though.

No worries, I was hoping you'd play anyway, don't want my technological spazziness to stop y'all from having fun.

Main log #5. It's actually not too long, but the OOC stuff is. In any case, this should show why I'm happy about my listen and spot skills.

The Jammies D&D Game. Today: Group 2 vs. Orcs

[20:25:22] <Everest|Llayra> As we left off, the first half of the Jammies adventuring group had just stomped out an orc ambush.
[20:25:32] <Everest|Llayra> Let's see how the goblin-fetching half is doing . . .
[20:26:17] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Hey," Felgrove said. "You ever feel like a few days have passed when in reality only about an hour has?"
[20:26:35] <INUH|Tramlaw> "What do you mean by that?"
[20:26:48] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Ah, nothing," Felgrove responds.
[20:27:54] <Everest|DM> The group makes its way back to the goblin camp to find everything mostly normal.
[20:28:13] <Everest|DM> One of the bugbear chieftains walks over to the group.
[20:28:28] <INUH|Tramlaw> (Which one? Is it the one we know?)
[20:28:28] <Everest|DM> "Hey guys, what can I do ya for?" he says in Goblin.
[20:28:34] <Everest|DM> (The one you guys know, yeah)
[20:28:44] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Hey, there," Felgrove says.
[20:29:14] INUH|Tramlaw speaks in goblin: "We've managed to befriend some Kobolds, but we couldn't really explain that we wanted another alliance because we don't speak Draconic."
[20:29:52] <Zersk|Felgrove> "And we were wondering if any of you goblins knew how to speak Draconic."
[20:30:08] <Zersk|Felgrove> Says Felgrove in Goblin.
[20:30:11] <Everest|DM> "Uhh, nope, I don't believe any of us do. Sorry. =/"
[20:30:35] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Hm. That's a problem."
[20:30:38] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Oh. Well, that's a shame, then." Felgrove stands there, thinking a bit.
[20:30:53] <INUH|Tramlaw> (What were our ideas earlier again?)
[20:31:19] <Zersk|Felgrove> "We still need some way to communicate with the Kobolds..."
[20:31:31] <Everest|DM> (Bring the bugbear to the kobolds without his weapon drawn, with his palms facing forward in a conciliatory gesture)
[20:31:37] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Or at least convey that we want an alliance with the Goblins."
[20:31:42] <INUH|Tramlaw> (That works.)
[20:32:24] <Everest|DM> "I don't think I'll need to be able to talk to them. If you can befriend them without knowing their tongue, I bet I can too."
[20:32:51] <Zersk|Felgrove> "That is true..." Felgrove responds.
[20:33:08] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Good point. They seemed pretty receptive to alllying with humans."
[20:33:36] <Zersk|Felgrove> "I got it," Felgrove says.
[20:34:10] <Zersk|Felgrove> "What if you came with us to the Kobold camp with us? But you came in a way to show peace."
[20:34:45] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Yeah, you could do what we did. Hands out, no sudden moves, setting your weapon down and so on."
[20:34:56] <Everest|DM> "Sounds good."
[20:35:29] <INUH|Tramlaw> "But what if your camp gets ambushed again while you're gone? That wouldn't be good."
[20:35:53] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Oh right, that..."
[20:36:04] <Everest|DM> "We have another bugbear here. He plus the others should suffice for a couple minutes. He's a tough old bastard too."
[20:36:11] <Zersk|Felgrove> "But still, would the orcs be dumb enough to attack again after what happened to them before?"
[20:36:18] <Zersk|Felgrove> "And that."
[20:36:44] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Okay, then. Let's head back to meet with the Kobolds."
[20:36:52] <Everest|DM> "Okay."
[20:38:10] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Well, then, let's go!" Felgrove proclaimed. He jogged back into the forest a bit again.
[20:38:19] INUH|Tramlaw follows Felgrove.
[20:38:56] <Everest|DM> The bugbear follows as well.
[20:40:09] <Everest|DM> As the group heads back to the kobold camp, a dreaded, now-familiar, hooligan shouting can be heard in the distance, not too far off, as they are about halfway from the camp.
[20:40:34] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Huh," Felgrove says, "guess I was wrong."
[20:41:10] <Everest|DM> The orcs are rather obvious in their formation; no Listen or Spot checks will be required.
[20:41:19] <Everest|DM> I'll draw them on the map, and you guys can put yourselves there, too.
[20:41:36] <INUH|Tramlaw> "These guys didn't even bother with an ambush? This should be easy."
[20:41:52] <Everest|DM>    Roll initiative   
[20:42:00] <Everest|DM> Haisa .roll d20+2
[20:42:00]    <feepbot> Everest|DM: (d20 : 9) + 2: 11   
[20:42:15] <INUH|Tramlaw> .roll 1d20+3
[20:42:15]    <feepbot> INUH|Tramlaw: (d20 : 7) + 3: 10   
[20:42:40] <Everest|DM> Bugbear .roll d20+1
[20:42:41]    <feepbot> Everest|DM: (d20 : 17) + 1: 18   
[20:42:53] <Zersk|Felgrove> .roll d20+2
[20:42:53]    <feepbot> Zersk|Felgrove: (d20 : 5) + 2: 7   
[20:42:58] <Zersk|Felgrove> (Jeez...)
[20:46:49] <INUH|Tramlaw> (Ready to fight, then?)
[20:46:59] <Zersk|Felgrove> (Yarp.)
[20:47:42] <Everest|DM> (Yep)
[20:48:53] <Everest|DM> The bugbear apparently has lots of blood on his mind. As soon as the orcs come within eyesight, he practically leaps forward at them (charge action to get to the nearest)!
[20:51:42] <Everest|DM> The bugbear brings his morningstar down with thunderous strength!
[20:51:47] <Everest|DM> Attack .rolld20+7
[20:51:47]    <feepbot> Everest|DM: (d20 : 11) + 7: 18   
[20:51:53] <Everest|DM> A hit!
[20:52:07] <INUH|Tramlaw> (+7? Nice.)
[20:52:25] <Everest|DM> (+2 is from charging, it's +5 normally, but yeah)
[20:52:41] <Everest|DM> Damage .roll d7+2
[20:52:41]    <feepbot> Everest|DM: (d7 : 1) + 2: 3   
[20:52:44] <Everest|DM> Crap.
[20:52:47] <Everest|DM> Let's try again.
[20:52:58] <Everest|DM> Damage .roll d8+2
[20:52:58]    <feepbot> Everest|DM: (d8 : 1) + 2: 3   
[20:53:02] <Everest|DM> -_-
[20:53:06] <Cygan|Seren> :P
[20:53:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> (Pfft.)
[20:53:20] <INUH|Tramlaw> (That's what you get for trying to cheat the feepbot.)
[20:53:43] <Everest|DM> Okay. The orc blocks the swing with its falchion, but the strength of the bugbear is enough to force the weapon down and dig into its shoulders.
[20:53:52] <Everest|DM> Haisa's turn!
[20:54:57] <Everest|DM> Haisa dashes in to the orc next to the bugbear and makes an attack.
[20:55:05] <Everest|DM> Attack .roll d20+3
[20:55:06]    <feepbot> Everest|DM: (d20 : 2) + 3: 5   
[20:55:24] <Everest|DM> The orc's falchion, on its downswing, blocks Haisa' fangs.
[20:55:30] <Everest|DM> Tramlaw's turn!
[20:55:35] <Cygan|Seren> (Uh)
[20:55:56] <Cygan|Seren> (Shouldn't the falchin be trapped under the bugbear's mace?)
[20:56:10] INUH|Tramlaw draws his spear and sends a burst of magic flying at the nearest uninjured Orc.
[20:56:26] <Everest|DM> (Well, its forced downswing, I guess. The morningstar would have been withdrawn by now)
[20:56:36] <INUH|Tramlaw> (Wait, no, make that the injured one.)
[20:56:42] <Everest|DM> (Okay)
[20:56:58] <INUH|Tramlaw> .roll 1d4+1
[20:56:58]    <feepbot> INUH|Tramlaw: (d4 : 3) + 1: 4   
[20:57:29] <Everest|DM> The orc's wound is stricken by a bolt of force, and blood erupts from its shoulder as it falls.
[20:57:53] <Everest|DM> Remaining orcs' turns!
[20:58:24] <Everest|DM> The orc that saw its ally die moves in to strike the bugbear.
[20:59:21] <Everest|DM> The bugbear cushions the force with its morningstar, and the remaining momentum of the downswing fails to pierce the bugbear's leather.
[20:59:22] <Cygan|Seren> Be back soon
[20:59:42] <Everest|DM> See you later.
[20:59:52] <Everest|DM> The other orc attempts to strike Haisa . . .
[21:00:13] <Everest|DM> . . . and misses horribly as Haisa sidesteps the falchion.
[21:00:18] <Everest|DM> Felgrove's turn!
[21:00:35] <Zersk|Felgrove> Felgrove puts down bow, takes up Ocarina...
[21:01:48] <Zersk|Felgrove> Inspire Courage!
[21:02:47] <Zersk|Felgrove> Felgrove plays a song that Inspires his fellow teammates.
[21:04:08] <Everest|DM> So, I take it that's your turn?
[21:04:22] <Zersk|Felgrove> (Yep.)
[21:04:31] <Everest|DM> Bugbear's turn! Round 2!
[21:05:00] <Everest|DM> The bugbear, invigorated further by Felgrove's song, takes a horizontal swing at its new challenger.
[21:05:06] <Everest|DM> Attack .rolld20+6
[21:05:06]    <feepbot> Everest|DM: (d20 : 6) + 6: 12   
[21:05:26] <Everest|DM> The orc's studded leather shields it from the bugbear's swing.
[21:05:29] <Everest|DM> Haisa's turn!
[21:05:48] <Everest|DM> Haisa lunges at the leg of the orc that was just attacked.
[21:06:01] <Everest|DM> Attack .rolld20+4
[21:06:02]    <feepbot> Everest|DM: (d20 : 9) + 4: 13   
[21:06:55] <Everest|DM> Haisa bites into the orc's leg and prepares to yank it to the ground.
[21:07:18] <Everest|DM> Damage .rolld6+1
[21:07:18]    <feepbot> Everest|DM: (d6 : 6) + 1: 7   
[21:07:39] <Everest|DM> Before the orc can put up a fight against Haisa, its vitality drains instantly and it is pulled down.
[21:07:59] <Everest|DM> Tramlaw's turn!
[21:08:35] <INUH|Tramlaw> (Hm. What's the penalty per range increment again?)
[21:09:21] <Everest|DM> (-2)
[21:09:38] <INUH|Tramlaw> (Does throwing into melee count as shooting into melee?)
[21:09:47] <Everest|DM> (Yes)
[21:10:07] <INUH|Tramlaw> (Hm... Not sure what to do...)
[21:10:19] <Zersk|Felgrove> (Did you count the morale bonus?)
[21:10:37] <INUH|Tramlaw> (Well, I haven't done anything, so not yet.)
[21:10:45] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oright.
[21:10:47] <Zersk|Felgrove> ()
[21:12:08] <INUH|Tramlaw> (So if I throw a spear, that's a total modifier of -2...Not that good.)
[21:13:09] INUH|Tramlaw moves as far as he can towards the surviving orc before hurling his spear.
[21:13:38] <INUH|Tramlaw> .roll 1d20-2
[21:13:39]    <feepbot> INUH|Tramlaw: (d20 : 17) - 2: 15   
[21:13:46] <INUH|Tramlaw> (Ooh, not bad.)
[21:13:49] <Everest|DM> (Hit!)
[21:14:33] <INUH|Tramlaw> .roll 1d8+3
[21:14:33]    <feepbot> INUH|Tramlaw: (d8 : 6) + 3: 9   
[21:14:44] <INUH|Tramlaw> (Excellent. Thank you, feepbot.)
[21:14:59] <Everest|DM> The orc has no time to react before its heart is pierced!
[21:15:12] <Everest|DM> Chalk another one up for the Jammies group!
[21:17:29] <INUH|Tramlaw> "That went well."
[21:17:36] INUH|Tramlaw heads over to the body to loot it.
[21:17:38] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Yeah..."
[21:18:30] <Everest|DM> "Tch. Chumps, the whole lot of them."
[21:19:06] <Everest|DM> On one of the bodies, Tramlaw finds 191 gold pieces.
[21:19:44] <INUH|Tramlaw> "How do they *get* this much gold? They don't seem to have much in the way of survival skills."
[21:20:21] <Everest|DM> "Probably a hefty allowance from their leader, who can probably put up a fight and has probably been doing so for years."
[21:20:38] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Ah right, the first boss."
[21:20:45] <Everest|DM> "I'm as baffled as you are, but that's my guess."
[21:20:59] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Yeah. That and raids on the defenseless, most likely."
[21:21:36] <Zersk|Felgrove> "How fun," Felgrove says, his voice filled with sarcasm.
[21:22:40] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Lets see what the other one has."
[21:23:53] <Everest|DM> The second orc has 143 gold pieces.
[21:24:06] <Everest|DM> The bugbear heads over to the third.
[21:24:59] <Everest|DM> He finds a measly 41 gold pieces, but he also finds two potions.
[21:25:19] <Everest|DM> "Hmm. Hey, bros, looky here. You want these?"
[21:25:57] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Huh. Cool. Any idea what kind of potions they are?"
[21:26:12] <Everest|DM> "They look kinda like the ones I gave you guys earlier."
[21:26:20] <Zersk|Felgrove> Felgrove hops over and looks down at them. "Huh."
[21:26:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> "So they do. Healing potions, then."
[21:26:41] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Looks like it."
[21:30:21] <Everest|DM> "So, wanna divvy up the money?"
[21:30:28] <Everest|DM> "I can't count that high."
[21:32:38] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Right. We've got 375 gold pieces, so that'd be...
[21:32:43] <INUH|Tramlaw> "125 each."
[21:34:07] <Everest|DM> "125, huh? Nice. I don't need these potions, so you two can has them."
[21:35:27] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Cool. Thanks."
[21:36:17] <Everest|DM> "Let's go meet those little green guys now, I guess. [pout] I was hoping these orcs would put up more of a fight."
[21:36:58] <INUH|Tramlaw> (Green?)
[21:38:36] <Everest|DM> (Whoops. I was thinking in terms of 4 edition, since they're green there).
[21:38:46] <INUH|Tramlaw> (They are? Huh.)
[21:40:36] <Everest|DM> So now we can say that the group has returned to the kobold camp.
[21:40:56] <INUH|Tramlaw> (That works. Quick timeskip.)
[21:41:08] <Everest|DM> The bugbear chieftain has his morningstar pointed down and is at the back of the group, as promised.
[21:41:20] <Everest|DM> (That's what we wanted, right?)
[21:41:26] <Zersk|Felgrove> "And there's that feeling of time-distortion again..." Felgrove says.
[21:42:00] <INUH|Tramlaw> "It's all in your head, Felgrove."
[21:42:01] <Everest|DM> "Nothing like a quick walk to take your mind offa things, huh?" The bugbear laughs.
[21:43:05] <Zersk|Felgrove> Felgrove scratched his head. "Well never mind, then."
[21:44:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> "In any case, time to negotiate."
[21:44:32] <Everest|DM> The kobolds perk up at the sight of their new allies conversing with a hairy, brutish-looking bugbear.
[21:44:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Right. Hopefully negotiations will still go well."
[21:44:32] <Everest|DM> The kobolds walk up to the returning group, spears in hand, and the leader tilts his head, visibly afraid.
[21:44:32] <Everest|DM> The bugbear looks into the kobold's eyes and sets his morningstar down before him.
[21:44:57] INUH|Tramlaw removes his spears slowly and places them on the ground.
[21:45:19] <Zersk|Felgrove> Felgrove drops his bow onto the ground.
[21:45:27] <Zersk|Felgrove> As well as his rapier.
[21:46:21] <Everest|DM> The kobold, still quaking, nods its head and returns to its allies, muttering under its breath, and the whole group goes back to what it was doing.
[21:47:20] <INUH|Tramlaw> "We should have brought an orc-head."
[21:49:30] <Agia_Anima> "You guys are late."
[21:49:53] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Llayra noticed blood on the bugbear's armor. "Agia is right. Ambush, I take it?"
[21:50:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> Felgrove nods. "Yep."
[21:50:43] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Indeed. The orcs are everywhere."
[21:50:51] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Haisa trots back to Llayra, who then pets its head.
[21:51:00] <Agia_Anima> "We ran into a few orcs ourselves."
[21:51:09] <Agia_Anima> "Or they ran into us. same thing."
[21:52:34] <INUH|Tramlaw> "They seem to go down pretty easily, though."
[21:53:55] <Agia_Anima> "I suppose, but I'd rather not get reckless. Seren and Zenfyra got hurt."
[21:54:30] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Really? They look okay."
[21:55:39] <Everest|Llayra|DM> "Well, we fixed them up a bit," says Llayra.
[21:55:49] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Ah. That's good."
[21:56:55] <Agia_Anima> "I'm still surprised you got a goblin to cooperate."
[21:57:18] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Oh come on, he's not that bad of a guy."
[21:57:45] <INUH|Tramlaw> "I don't know what goblins you know, Agia, but they aren't these."
[21:58:13] <Agia_Anima> "I don't know any goblins, I only know what I've heard."
[21:59:33] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Well, regardless, the ones around here are quite nice."
[22:00:37] <Agia_Anima> "So you say. Trust them if you like."
[22:01:01] <Agia_Anima> "They seem better than the orcs in any case."
[22:01:29] <INUH|Tramlaw> "That's not a difficult title to award."
[22:01:57] <Everest|Llayra|DM> "Not at all," Llayra says. "I would know."
[22:05:21] <Cygan|Seren> "The goblins around these parts are not like many other goblins," Seren speaks up.
[22:05:52] <Cygan|Seren> "They are selfish and concerned only with themselves- but not to the detriment of others, unlike most."
[22:06:31] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Indeed. Being selfish isn't unusual. They're as nice as they can reasonably be out here."
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> "Exactly. Selfishness is not Evil, even if it is not Good. It is merely one form of survival."
[22:15:52] <Everest|Llayra|DM> "Well," says the bugbear. "I guess I'll be heading back to my camp now, if y'all don't mind."
[22:16:20] <Cygan|Seren> Seren speaks up.
[22:17:00] <Cygan|Seren> "Actually, if you would stay, it may help if we need to negotiate with any other Kobolds. This is only a small party."
[22:17:13] <Cygan|Seren> Scratch that >_<
[22:17:15] <Cygan|Seren> Sorry
[22:17:26] <Zersk|Felgrove> Felgrove translates.
[22:17:30] <Zersk|Felgrove> (There! :3)
[22:17:31] <Everest|Llayra|DM> (I'll be right back; brushing teeth).
[22:17:34] <Cygan|Seren> Okay
[22:17:38] <Cygan|Seren> Tht's better.
[22:17:43] <Cygan|Seren> NOW I said what I said :3
[22:18:09] <Everest|Llayra|DM> "Well, I can't just leave my underlings behind, can I?" The bugbear frowns and then shrugs.
[22:19:02] <Cygan|Seren> "That is a good point," Seren concedes. "I do not suppose there is anyone else with some authority among your folk you could send to help us?"
[22:19:10] <Cygan|Seren> (Felgrove still translating)
[22:19:18] <Zersk|Felgrove> (Yah.)
[22:19:44] <Everest|Llayra|DM> "Our camp is even smaller now; I don't think we have anyone to spare. We're afraid and tightly knit at this point."
[22:20:12] Cygan|Seren grimaces, before reluctantly nodding.
[22:20:27] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Good point. The kobolds here get that we're working with you guys. Maybe we could get them to spread the word?"
[22:21:00] <Cygan|Seren> "I could do tht directly," Seren points out.
[22:21:19] <Cygan|Seren> "But I think... Argh! We need somebody who can speak their language!"
[22:21:49] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Which is why I suggested the Kobolds could spread the word."
[22:22:09] <Cygan|Seren> "Yes, but the Kobolds are only one small group," Seren points out.
[22:22:27] <Cygan|Seren> "And I do not know if any of them have any authority."
[22:22:39] <Cygan|Seren> "Who is t say they would even be believed?"
[22:23:04] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Yeah, but wouldn't they believe one of their own?"
[22:23:40] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Well, it's hard to think of a better alternative..."
[22:23:45] <Cygan|Seren> "Not necessarily," Seren disagrees. "Remember, Kobolds re cowardly, as you yourself have said. "They may not wnt to believe."
[22:23:46] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Language barriers are annoying."
[22:24:15] <Zersk|Felgrove> "That's why I learned Gnomish, even though I've never met a Gnome."
[22:24:35] Agia_Anima goes back into a tree to keep a watchout.
[22:24:40] <Cygan|Seren> "Yes. I don't know. The only alternative I can think of is to find someone among the natives of this island who can potentiallly speak Draconic, but..."
[22:25:11] <INUH|Tramlaw> "That would be useful."
[22:25:39] Cygan|Seren nods.
[22:34:18] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Hmm..."
[22:34:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> Felgrove thinks!
[22:34:25] <Zersk|Felgrove> .roll d20+3
[22:34:26]    <feepbot> Zersk|Felgrove: (d20 : 20) + 3: 23   
[22:39:53] Cygan|Seren Felgrove recalls a lot of information about the island.
[22:40:36] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Huh," Felgrove says.
[22:41:10] Cygan|Seren He recalls information about geography- he remembers that the forest gets denser and more dangerous the closer you get to the centre of the island, and he remembers about the villages clustered around Stormpeak's base.
[22:42:32] Cygan|Seren He recalls information about the races of the island- how Elves and Humans make up most of the population, Goblins and Kobolds make up neutral factions that hide from the dominant forces, and a largeish faction of Orcs makes things difficult for everyone.
[22:43:33] <Everest|Llayra|DM> (If you don't mind, I was thinking of throwing in slightly less common monsters that might have small but noticeable factions within the island)
[22:43:39] <Everest|Llayra|DM> (To add more variety to our current quest)
[22:43:40] <Zersk|Felgrove> (Why not? :3)
[22:43:57] Cygan|Seren He remembers the time he was told about trading- how Elves trade their ntural materials, spears, bows and arrows, for Human's metl weapons and armours. He remembers how Goblins and Kobolds have tried to trade before, but have filed before, due to mistrust.
[22:43:59] <Cygan|Seren> (Go ahead)
[22:44:41] Cygan|Seren He remembers hearing about how the Humans and the Elves trade knowledge between them, including languages, agriculture and military matters.
(OOC: Or he just remembers the answer to the question, as a knowledge check usually does.)

[22:47:11] <Zersk|Felgrove> "The village..." Felgrove says.
[22:50:10] <Everest|Llayra|DM> "Which village," Llayra asks. "You mean the one we came from? Or is there another?"
[22:50:46] <Zersk|Felgrove> "The one we came from," he responded.
[22:51:25] <Zersk|Felgrove> (Scratch that.)
[22:52:36] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Another one," he said. "There should be an Elven town close by here."
[22:52:36] <Zersk|Felgrove> "Maybe we could find someone there."
[22:52:43] <Everest|Llayra|DM> "Hmm. Sounds good."
[22:52:49] <INUH|Tramlaw> "Sounds like a plan, I suppose. Should we head that way, then?"
[22:53:17] <Cygan|Seren> "I think that sounds good," Seren agrees.
[22:54:53] <Everest|Llayra|DM> "So, before we head back, should we rest here for the night?"
[22:55:17] <INUH|Tramlaw> "That's a good idea. I'm tired."
[22:56:43] <Cygan|Seren> "I think that may be a good idea," Seren says, wincing as she tenderly touches her wounds.
[22:57:22] <Everest|Llayra|DM> As the night hours pass, darkness falls upon the kobold camp . . .
[23:33:50] <Everest|Llayra|DM> So, as Llayra and Felgrove keep watch, they hear barking.
[23:36:36] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Make a Spot check.

[23:50:32] <Agia_Anima> (Do I hear anything?)
[23:50:40] <Everest|Llayra|DM> (No)
[23:50:50] <Everest|Llayra|DM> (Wait, maybe, hold on)
[23:50:53] <INUH|Tramlaw> (I guess I can assume I don't.)
[23:50:57] <Everest|Llayra|DM> (Hi again, Zersk)
[23:51:29] <Everest|Llayra|DM> (Okay, Agia does, but so far no one else has)
[23:51:52] <Agia_Anima> (Yay! My +10 is useful!)
[23:52:07] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Agia wakes to hear barking from a loosed dog!
[23:52:31] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Llayra waits to see what the dog actually does; it could be a stray, for all we know.
[23:53:15] Agia_Anima readies her weapons.
[23:53:34] <Agia_Anima> (Or rather...)
[23:53:35] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Llayra has her scimitar ready.
[23:53:43] Agia_Anima readies her bow.
[23:55:02] <Zersk|Felgrove> Felgrove takes out his bow, holding it ready.

[23:57:33] <Everest|Llayra|DM> (Actually, no, Agia spots it)
[23:58:08] <Everest|Llayra|DM> In the distance, behind a darkened tree, Agia notices a small humanoid figure with glowingly white hair and shadowy skin.
[23:58:34] <Everest|Llayra|DM> The figure is holding what appears to be a crossbow.
[23:59:43] <Everest|Llayra|DM> The figure is about 60 feet away.
[00:00:18] <Everest|Llayra|DM> And it is aiming at everyone in the confusion.
[00:01:02] Agia_Anima points her bow at the figure, "Who are you?"
[00:01:40] <Everest|Llayra|DM> The figure does not respond to Agia's question. Those who are awake, roll initiative!

OOC log for now. The post-game stuff I'll post later. There might be some problems regarding the time, as there were some mess-ups.

[20:10:23] <Cygan|Seren> Just so everyone knows,
[20:10:31] <Cygan|Seren> I've been worldbuilding more.
[20:10:43] <Cygan|Seren> I have the Wastelands island mostly worked out,
[20:11:00] <Meophist> That's cool.
[20:11:09] <Cygan|Seren> And I came up with an ide for another island, to go with the patchwork idea we have.
[20:11:15] <Zersk|Felgrove> I have no idea what that is! :D
[20:11:17] <Zersk|Felgrove> : D
[20:11:25] <Cygan|Seren> :P
[20:11:47] <Cygan|Seren> We have different islands, ech one with a different theme.
[20:11:56] <Cygan|Seren> Like, we're on the Forest island right now.
[20:11:58] <Zersk|Felgrove> Ooh, ooh, can I do the Elven Empire?
[20:12:02] <Zersk|Felgrove> To the north?
[20:12:05] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh, islands.
[20:12:06] <Zersk|Felgrove> Neat!
[20:12:12] <Zersk|Felgrove> But I thought it was a continent.
[20:12:20] <Cygan|Seren> It is
[20:12:25] <Cygan|Seren> Most of it is just underwater.
[20:12:30] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oohh.
[20:12:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> Okay!
[20:12:44] <Zersk|Felgrove> But I can still do the Elven Kingdom, right?
[20:12:49] <Cygan|Seren> Um
[20:12:52] <Zersk|Felgrove> Since my character is an immigrant from there?
[20:12:58] <Cygan|Seren> Have you read the info on the island I've posted yet?
[20:13:03] <Zersk|Felgrove> Nyope.
[20:13:21] <Cygan|Seren> Well, tht has the information on the forest elves.
[20:13:38] <Zersk|Felgrove> Huh.
[20:13:51] <Zersk|Felgrove> Well, I guess I'll see if my backstory fits in with it. : /
[20:13:54] <Cygan|Seren> If you want to do one, theme an island and go ahead.
[20:14:02] <Zersk|Felgrove> Mmkay!
[20:14:05] <Cygan|Seren> There are more than one type of elf >_>
[20:14:15] <Zersk|Felgrove> Right.
[20:14:18] <Zersk|Felgrove> > >
[20:14:40] <Everest|Llayra> Oh, yeah, just keep in mind that we haven't really finalized everything yet, so make sure that everyone's ideas can be incorporated.
[20:14:51] <Zersk|Felgrove> Mmkay!
[20:14:57] <Cygan|Seren> This is still just a concept.
[20:15:08] <Cygan|Seren> If anyone needs to mess around with my ideas, go ahead.
[20:16:17] <Cygan|Seren> Like, if Zersk needs an Elven Empire, then he can fiddle around with the Forest Island.
[20:16:23] <Everest|Llayra> Okay.


[20:20:51] <Zersk|Felgrove> Hay Everest!
[20:21:14] <Everest|Llayra> Hi.
[20:21:39] <Zersk|Felgrove> Can you put the links to the character sheets in the first post of the discussion? :#
[20:21:40] <Zersk|Felgrove> :3
[20:22:25] <Meophist> The grid looks good.
[20:22:32] <Everest|Llayra> https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12951013770A40621300&page=1#20
[20:22:37] <Everest|Llayra> For Zerskeh boy. And thanks, Moe.
[20:22:48] <Zersk|Felgrove> Well, thanks!
[20:22:50] <Zersk|Felgrove> But like
[20:23:09] <Zersk|Felgrove> I meant if you could get all the links and put them into the first post of the discussion, for quick reference.
[20:23:26] <INUH|Tramlaw> That would be convenient, though I've got a deadtree copy of mine.
[20:23:39] <Everest|Llayra> Which others do I need? This channel and iScribble are there already.
[20:23:49] <Zersk|Felgrove> All I have is a electric silicone copy.
[20:24:03] <INUH|Tramlaw> He means links to the posts with the character sheets.
[20:24:04] <Everest|Llayra> My character sheet are deadtree like INUH's.
[20:24:14] <Everest|Llayra> You mean, all of ours?
[20:24:17] <Zersk|Felgrove> Yeah!
[20:24:19] <Zersk|Felgrove> :3
[20:24:29] <Meophist> Links to everybody's character sheet.
[20:24:32] <Everest|Llayra> Okay. I'll do it later, if you don't mind.
[20:24:39] <Everest|Llayra> Right now I'm itchin' for a fight.
[20:24:40] <Zersk|Felgrove> Yay! : D
[20:24:42] <Zersk|Felgrove> Okay! :3
[20:24:43] <Zersk|Felgrove> Thanks!
[20:28:27] <Cygan|Seren> Hey Everest...
[20:28:29] <Meophist> Everest:You can try making a separate window for D Ming and stuff, so your character and DM words come from different handles.
[20:28:37] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah.
[20:28:43] <Cygan|Seren> Just about to suggest that.
[20:28:52] <Everest|DM> Right now I'm only using Haisa and the Bugbear, not my actual character though.
[20:28:55] <Cygan|Seren> And maybe different-coloured text.
[20:29:15] <Meophist> Well, for later I mean.
[20:29:20] <Everest|DM> Oh, I see what you mean.
[20:29:36] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah.
[20:29:48] <Cygan|Seren> Jus so we can seperate Llayr and DM easier.
[20:30:22] <Cygan|Seren> >=/
[20:30:37] <Everest|DM> I don't entirely see why they would . . .
[20:30:42] <Everest|DM> -shrug-
[20:30:50] <Cygan|Seren> If this doesn't work out, at least,
[20:31:02] <Cygan|Seren> theres always other backup plans.
[20:31:20] <Cygan|Seren> I mean,
[20:31:44] <Cygan|Seren> surely one human or elf or another would speak or write Draconic...
[20:32:36] <Cygan|Seren> And next level, Seren is so going to take a skill point in Languages (Draconic)
[20:32:56] <Meophist> Doesn't sound too bad.
[20:33:12] <Cygan|Seren> But remember,
[20:33:27] <Cygan|Seren> Seren has had training in diplomacy.
[20:33:29] <Cygan|Seren> The bugber hasn't.
[20:33:40] <Everest|DM> Well, he doesn't need to be the one doing the communications, in the end.
[20:33:44] <Everest|DM> And who says he hasn't?
[20:33:47] <INUH|Tramlaw> I'm not sure you can take Draconic by default. Apparently, Wizards have the opportunity to as a class feature, so that implies that other classes can't...
[20:34:06] <Meophist> By the way, Everest, "/msg feepbot .roll d6" and the like can help you roll with feepbot privately, if you ever need it.
[20:34:23] <Everest|DM> I did not know that. Thanks, Moe.
[20:34:51] <Meophist> It only works if feepbot is online, of course.
[20:36:05] <Meophist> INUH: I think that only applies to INT-based bonus languages, as opposed to skill-trained languages. I'm not entirely sure on that though.
[20:36:56] <INUH|Tramlaw> Ah. That could make sense.
[20:38:49] <Cygan|Seren> Who says he hasn't?
[20:39:04] <Cygan|Seren> His attempts at diplomacy with us >_>
[20:39:55] <Everest|DM> What, the bugbear? I don't recall him being very hostile with us, considering what he is. But I don't remember how he acted at first, to be honest.
[20:40:14] <Cygan|Seren> He wasn't hostile,
[20:40:16] <INUH|Tramlaw> He was really nice from the start, IIRC.
[20:40:26] <Cygan|Seren> but he wsn't exactly diplomatic.
[20:40:34] <Cygan|Seren> Nice =/= diplomtic or good at relations.
[20:40:43] <INUH|Tramlaw> Well, nice for an Always Chaotic Evil race.
[20:40:48] <Everest|DM> Well, yeah, he was crude, but I feel like he's good at being relatable and undertanding.
[20:40:50] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah.
[20:40:54] <Zersk|Felgrove> INUH: Usually.
[20:40:59] <Cygan|Seren> He's good at being relatable,
[20:41:00] <Zersk|Felgrove> Chaotic Evil, that is.
[20:41:17] <Cygan|Seren> but he's not so good at forging relations with people.
[20:41:22] <Cygan|Seren> It makes it easier,
[20:41:26] <Cygan|Seren> but yeah...
[20:42:04] <Cygan|Seren> ~has written many diplomatic scenes before~
[20:42:52] <Meophist> What a quick Bugbear...
[20:43:06] <INUH|Tramlaw> Yep.
[20:43:12] <Zersk|Felgrove> What a slow Elf...
[20:43:25] <Cygan|Seren> Hehehe >=3
[20:43:45] <Meophist> Speaking of which, Elves get a +2 to listen, search, and spot checks...
[20:43:55] <Zersk|Felgrove> Heh.
[20:44:07] <Meophist> I think you've forgotten that bonus before, Zersk.
[20:44:12] <Zersk|Felgrove> Orly?
[20:44:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> Well, no matter.
[20:44:26] <Everest|DM> So, could those who are in the fight please add themselves on the map?
[20:44:15] <Cygan|Seren> Uh
[20:44:22] <Cygan|Seren> You know what I just realized?
[20:44:27] <Zersk|Felgrove> Was?
[20:44:28] <Cygan|Seren> >_>
[20:44:28] <Everest|DM> What, Cygy?
[20:44:40] <Cygan|Seren> On my Rogue,
[20:44:57] <Zersk|Felgrove> What ees eet?
[20:44:59] <Cygan|Seren> I had a +3 odifier, plus 8 base skill points x 4.
[20:45:07] <Cygan|Seren> So 44 skill points.
[20:45:19] <Zersk|Felgrove> Okay...
[20:45:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> And?
[20:45:24] <Zersk|Felgrove> You said that before.
[20:45:26] <Cygan|Seren> But I frgot to add in the extr skill points and feat from being a human.
[20:45:34] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh.
[20:45:34] <Meophist> I see...
[20:45:40] <Zersk|Felgrove> Heh.
[20:45:40] <INUH|Tramlaw> Oh. So 48 skill points. Nice.
[20:45:46] <Meophist> Wait, I think you did account for the feat...
[20:45:50] <Zersk|Felgrove> Hehe.
[20:45:53] <Cygan|Seren> Uh.
[20:45:56] <Everest|DM> Oh. I thought that was on there already. Did you count the points from one of your feats as well?
[20:46:03] <Cygan|Seren> I had 2 feats, so maybe?
[20:46:07] <Zersk|Felgrove> George Orwell finished Nineteen Eighty-four in 1949.
[20:46:08] <Zersk|Felgrove> 1948.
[20:46:09] <Zersk|Felgrove> Sorry.
[20:46:10] <Cygan|Seren> What?
[20:46:19] <Zersk|Felgrove> Well, your skill points are 48
[20:46:20] <Everest|DM> (8 + Int Modifier (+2, if I recall correctly)) * 4 + 4
[20:46:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> 1948
[20:46:23] <Meophist> Human Rogues would get two feats, right?
[20:46:28] <Cygan|Seren> +3
[20:46:33] <Cygan|Seren> +3 modifier
[20:46:40] <Everest|DM> The "+4" was what you get as a human, though.
[20:46:43] <Everest|DM> Oh, it was?
[20:46:48] <Cygan|Seren> It was.
[20:46:53] <Cygan|Seren> Charisma right?
[20:46:54] <Everest|DM> Sorry. I thought it was a 2 on there. I saw a +3 for Dex and Cha, though.
[20:47:00] <Everest|DM> No, Int determines skill ranks.
[20:47:01] <Cygan|Seren> Uh
[20:47:06] <Cygan|Seren> What skill's it for?
[20:47:08] <Cygan|Seren> Int...
[20:47:09] <Cygan|Seren> Uhhh
[20:47:21] <Cygan|Seren> I thnk I changed it on my second go round then
[20:47:33] <Everest|DM> It's to determine how many ranks you have to add to all of your skills, as well as to determine certain skills.
[20:47:40] <Cygan|Seren> Because my first go round, I hd a +3 Cha, Int nd Dex modifier
[20:47:58] <Everest|DM> Whoa. Okay. If you want to fix that, go ahead
[20:48:11] <Cygan|Seren> I had EPIC rolls :3
[20:48:32] <Cygan|Seren> Like, 3 17's
[20:48:36] <Cygan|Seren> but a 12
[20:48:45] <Cygan|Seren> I am disappoint
[20:48:59] <Cygan|Seren> 17,15,17,14,12,17
[20:49:15] <Zersk|Felgrove> Jebus.
[20:49:18] <Cygan|Seren> Then I rolled again when my laptop crashed,
[20:49:20] <Zersk|Felgrove> O O
[20:49:21] <Everest|DM> Disappoint? There's not a +0 or lower on ther!
[20:49:26] <Everest|DM> *there
[20:49:31] <Zersk|Felgrove> O O O O O O
[20:49:31] <Cygan|Seren> But then realized I could add in my old rolls
[20:49:38] <Cygan|Seren> But I think I forgot to
[20:49:46] <Zersk|Felgrove> O______________________________________________________________O
[20:49:53] <Cygan|Seren> :P
[20:50:10] <Zersk|Felgrove> O______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________O
[20:50:13] <Cygan|Seren> 17 Dex, Cha and Int, 15 Wis, 14 Con and 12 Str
[20:50:17] <Zersk|Felgrove> Whoops
[20:50:26] <INUH|Tramlaw> Whoops?
[20:50:30] <Zersk|Felgrove> My emote wrapped around the world
[20:50:45] <INUH|Tramlaw> Not for me. My monitor is good.
[20:51:03] <Zersk|Felgrove> Gog dammit. >: /
[20:51:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> Sorry.
[20:51:20] <Cygan|Seren> So I think I might need to redo my rogue :/
[20:51:33] <Zersk|Felgrove> 12gog dammit inuh! :::: (
[20:51:38] <Meophist> It doesn't wrap around on my browser window, but it does a couple of times in my irc window...
[20:51:47] <INUH|Tramlaw> @Cygan:Why?
[20:52:09] <Cygan|Seren> Because
[20:52:21] <Cygan|Seren> I'm using my second rolls with my first Rogue
[20:52:44] <Cygan|Seren> I need to switch back to my first rolls.
[20:52:50] <Cygan|Seren> Which means redoing my skills.
[20:53:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> What were your second rolls again?
[20:54:05] <Cygan|Seren> 17,15,17,14,14,12 or something
[20:54:36] <INUH|Tramlaw> Yes, but Your current rolls are awesome.
[20:54:43] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah,
[20:54:50] <Cygan|Seren> but y first rolls were better.
[20:54:56] <INUH|Tramlaw> True.
[20:54:59] <Cygan|Seren> And they're the ones my Rogue was built around.
[20:55:11] <Cygan|Seren> Taking advantage of the higher INT
[20:55:19] <Cygan|Seren> Or I think I did, anyway
[20:51:53] <Zersk|Felgrove> uHHHH,,,
[20:52:03] <Zersk|Felgrove> Jebus.
[20:52:04] <Meophist> This bugbear's getting good rolls...
[20:52:19] <Zersk|Felgrove> That bugbear was ma~d. :3
[20:52:23] <INUH|Tramlaw> He has a +7. Of course his rolls are good.
[20:53:27] <Zersk|Felgrove> Wait.
[20:53:33] <Zersk|Felgrove> I forgot, I'm a Bard.
[20:53:40] <Zersk|Felgrove> What Bardy-ness can I do?
[20:53:41] <Cygan|Seren> The oes I have now.
[20:53:57] <Meophist> You should be able to play some music...
[20:54:07] <Zersk|Felgrove> Hm...
[20:54:12] <Zersk|Felgrove> Nope.
[20:54:15] <Cygan|Seren> Soothe the orcs!
[20:54:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> Level 1 Bards suck! >: /
[20:54:39] <Zersk|Felgrove> I have spells, but I can't use any Bardic stuff.
[20:54:49] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh wait
[20:55:00] <Zersk|Felgrove> I have Countersong and Inspire Courage.
[20:55:03] <Zersk|Felgrove> Do those do things?
[20:56:43] <Meophist> Inspire Courage you can do to give bonuses to attack and damage rolls...
[20:56:57] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh.
[20:56:59] <Cygan|Seren> Do it!
[20:57:08] <Zersk|Felgrove> I should do that in my round. : /
[20:57:18] <Cygan|Seren> You should.
[20:57:19] <Meophist> (As long as you have at least 3 ranks in perform...)
[20:57:24] <Zersk|Felgrove> But I have an Ocarina, would I play Saria's Song or Zelda's Lullaby?
[20:57:57] <Zersk|Felgrove> I have a rank 6 in Perform, so...
[20:57:58] <Meophist> Saria's Song is more "courage" to me.
[20:58:07] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh okay!
[20:58:14] <Meophist> Of those two anyways.
[20:58:18] <Zersk|Felgrove> And Zelda's Lullaby would be a sleep song or something?
[20:58:24] <INUH|Tramlaw> Wait, six ranks? Is that including your ability bonus?
[20:58:30] <Zersk|Felgrove> Uh, yeah.
[20:58:39] <Zersk|Felgrove> Otherwise, it's 3.
[20:59:08] <Meophist> That means you have 3 ranks, but +6 to your perform skill.
[21:00:49] <Zersk|Felgrove> So what roll do I do for Bard songs?
[21:01:14] <INUH|Tramlaw> I don't know. Maybe perform check? I'll check SRD.
[21:01:25] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh, right, Perform check.
[21:01:30] <Zersk|Felgrove> d20 then, right?
[21:01:36] <Everest|DM> Yeah.
[21:01:38] <Zersk|Felgrove> Plus the bonus?
[21:01:42] <Zersk|Felgrove> Okay, so d20+6
[21:01:47] <INUH|Tramlaw> Wait, no you don't even need it.
[21:01:55] <INUH|Tramlaw> Looks like it's automatic.
[21:01:56] <Zersk|Felgrove> Why?
[21:01:58] <Meophist> I don't see anything about rolling.
[21:02:00] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh okay.
[21:02:07] <Meophist> It just happens.
[21:02:12] <Zersk|Felgrove> Huh.
[21:02:29] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh okay! :3
[21:02:45] <INUH|Tramlaw> Yeah, apparently you're just assumed to be good enough.
[21:03:08] <Meophist> In any case, it lasts for 5 turns after you're done playing...
[21:03:13] <Zersk|Felgrove> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVlqk9yZf2c
[21:03:20] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh okay.
[21:03:22] <Everest|DM> Inspire Courage doesn't require a roll, as it affects allies, not enemies. Those that affect enemies require rolls, though.
[21:03:27] <Meophist> So you could probably just start attacking the turn afterwords.
[21:03:30] <Zersk|Felgrove> Mmkay.
[21:04:01] <Zersk|Felgrove> So is that it to my turn?
[21:04:20] <Everest|DM> Yeah, I tihnk so. You've used a move and a standard action.
[21:08:18] <Meophist> Haisa... has been rather useful in combat so far...
[21:08:23] <Zersk|Felgrove> Hey.
[21:08:25] <Zersk|Felgrove> Just curious.
[21:08:45] <Zersk|Felgrove> Could a character theoretically gain extra skill points from story-based characterization?
[21:08:53] <Zersk|Felgrove> Like say he or she learned piano in the story.
[21:09:07] <Zersk|Felgrove> Would they gain a Perform(Piano) rank?
[21:09:14] <Everest|DM> I don't think so. There might be character options in some books that have ways to build on that, but I can't just hand out free skill ranks.
[21:09:27] <Zersk|Felgrove> Huh, okay.
[21:10:16] <Everest|DM> Dabbleboard seems to be working much better than iScribble so far.
[21:10:22] <Everest|DM> Except for the lack of layers.
[21:10:35] <Meophist> There are a few problems, but yeah, it's going nice.
[21:10:37] <Zersk|Felgrove> Luckily it's vector based.
[21:10:47] <Meophist> Apparently, signing up can get more features.
[21:11:24] <Meophist> (In any case...) is it just me, or is this battle going a lot more smoothly than the other one?
[21:11:53] <Everest|DM> It is.
[21:12:24] <Meophist> It's probably that one critical hit that changed everything.
[21:12:38] <Everest|DM> Definitely.
[21:13:18] <Meophist> A little bit of luck makes a big difference, it seems.
[21:13:47] <Meophist> Nice throw.
[21:13:55] <Everest|DM> Seconding that.
[21:14:59] <Meophist> Wow...
[21:15:24] <INUH|Tramlaw> Woo! Go us!
[21:15:30] <Zersk|Felgrove> Whoo!
[21:15:36] <Everest|DM> Whoop.s I deleted Tramlaw by accident.
[21:15:43] <Zersk|Felgrove> INUH
[21:15:44] <Everest|DM> On the map. Sorry. <=P
[21:15:47] <Zersk|Felgrove> YOU KILLED YOURSELF
[21:15:51] <Zersk|Felgrove> HOW DID YOU DO THAT
[21:15:57] <Zersk|Felgrove> I MEAN REALLY
[21:15:58] <Everest|DM> No, I killed him. >:3
[21:16:02] <Meophist> Speaking of which, I wonder where balrog is...
[21:16:06] <Zersk|Felgrove> YOU WOULD HAVE TO BE A BAD SHOT TO DO THAT.
[21:16:11] <Zersk|Felgrove> (: P)
[21:16:20] <INUH|Tramlaw> Rocks fall, Tramlaw dies?
[21:16:31] <Everest|DM> I fixed it, though, no worries.
[21:17:23] <INUH|Tramlaw> Battle's over anyway.
[21:18:06] <Meophist> (INUH finds a long spear!)
[21:21:41] <Meophist> Did balrog say anything to anybody else?
[21:22:00] <Everest|DM> His last post was "I'm in."
[21:22:14] <Meophist> Yeah, so I was thinking he'll be here, but...
[21:22:28] <Meophist> Should we PM him?
[21:22:40] <Everest|DM> Yeah. I'll do that.
[21:23:04] <Meophist> We should wait for Cygan for when we do the meet-up as well.
[21:23:41] <Everest|DM> Yeah.
[21:24:03] <INUH|Tramlaw> Definitely.
[21:27:12] <Meophist> I'm going to try something with the grid...
[21:28:49] <Meophist> That looks better.
[21:29:24] <Everest|DM> Thanks for fixing that.
[21:29:40] <Meophist> There's a "snap to grid" option, I found.
[21:35:58] <Zersk|Felgrove> Wow guys.
[21:36:11] <Zersk|Felgrove> The Dieties Worldbuilding log is freaking huge.
[21:36:11] <Meophist> ?
[21:36:39] <Zersk|Felgrove> It's taking forever to read through.
[21:36:49] <Cygan|Seren> Yup :3
[21:37:01] <Cygan|Seren> Uhhh
[21:37:03] <Cygan|Seren> Everest
[21:37:12] <Cygan|Seren> Kobolds are brown, aren't they...?
[21:37:17] <Cygan|Seren> Or amm I wrong?
[21:37:23] <Zersk|Felgrove> I thought they were yellow. : /
[21:37:36] <Meophist> I think they're typically in that colour range...
[21:38:21] <INUH|Tramlaw> I'm pretty sure they're most commonly red.
[21:38:37] <INUH|Tramlaw> Though they can be any color that chromatic dragons can be.
[21:38:56] <Everest|DM> Yeah. My mistake. =/ They can be green in 4th Edition, so that's where I got my imagery from.
[21:39:13] <Meophist> So what colour are they here then?
[21:39:14] <Everest|DM> Or maybe the bugbear got his colors mixed up.
[21:39:20] <Everest|DM> Brownish.
[21:39:25] <Meophist> That works.
[21:39:34] <INUH|Tramlaw> Maybe he's red-green colorblind.
[21:40:10] <Everest|DM> Well, he doesn't exactly seem to have had a formal education, so maybe he doesn't really know his colors.
[21:42:01] <Meophist> No word from balrog yet?
[21:44:32] <Everest|DM> Nope.
[21:44:32] <Meophist> I guess somebody will have to take his place then?
[21:44:32] <Meophist> Or should we continue to wait?
[21:44:32] <Everest|DM> We can continue to wait for a while. We won't be in another fight for a few minutes.
[21:44:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> For a few minutes?
[21:44:44] <Meophist> So, I'm guessing our characters see the group?
[21:44:49] <Everest|DM> Well, as long as it takes to do the second round of kobold negotiations and set up the next plan.
[21:44:58] <Everest|DM> Yeah.
[21:45:05] <Everest|DM> I had assumed we had all returned by now.
[21:45:46] <Meophist> Well, alright.
[21:46:42] <Everest|DM> Now that the negotiations are out of the way, we can do a retelling of what happened in-character.
[21:48:27] <Meophist> Retelling?
[21:48:41] <Everest|DM> Going over the ambush and whatnot.
[21:48:50] <Everest|DM> And chatting again, for roleplaying's sake.
[21:48:54] <Meophist> Oh right.
[21:54:53] <Meophist> What were their hp levels at again?
[21:55:03] <Everest|Llayra|DM> The orcs?
[21:55:05] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Or us?
[21:55:15] <Meophist> Seren and Zenfyra got hurt last time, right?
[21:55:22] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Yeah.
[21:57:36] <Cygan|Seren> Back again]]
[21:57:57] <INUH|Tramlaw> We're back at the camp.
[21:58:05] <Cygan|Seren> Had to run back to school.
[21:58:41] <Meophist> I was wondering where you were.
[21:59:09] <INUH|Tramlaw> I see.
[22:01:42] <Everest|Llayra|DM> So, we can go the rest of the day and into the evening before something else happens . . .
[22:02:35] <INUH|Tramlaw> No kobold negotiations needed?
[22:03:32] <Everest|Llayra|DM> They're okay with working with the goblins; they got the message. This thing I'm referencing is a little different, I'll put it that way.
[22:04:01] <INUH|Tramlaw> Okay.
[22:04:51] <Meophist> In any case, weren't we going to go back to town before we do anything else?
[22:04:52] <INUH|Tramlaw> What'd you have?
[22:05:07] <INUH|Tramlaw> That would be a good start.
[22:06:00] <Cygan|Seren> Uhhhhh
[22:06:04] <Cygan|Seren> Actually >_>>
[22:06:14] <Cygan|Seren> I was thinking,
[22:07:15] <Cygan|Seren> should we wit until Loni nd whoever else has confirmed they'll be playing?
[22:11:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> That could work. We could recruit their characters in town.
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> It gives them a plausible excuse to join up...
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah.
[22:11:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> So would that mean we should stop soon?
[22:11:32] <Everest|Llayra|DM> If Loni's character is ready now, we can put the game on hold and send her a message to see if she can make it now. If not, we can try to have it done by the next game
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> Stop soon?
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> Um
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> No
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> She hs to wait for few weeks.
[22:11:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> Ah. Well, never mind then.
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> Until she's moved into college way from her parents.
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> But
[22:11:32] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Well, I'm not going to put the game on hold for that long.
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> I don't see why we need to stop.
[22:11:32] <Everest|Llayra|DM> We'll have probably leveled up by then, so she can start at a higher level.
[22:11:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> I thought you meant we should delay continuing until the next session.
[22:11:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> That works.
[22:11:32] <GMH> INUH, why is yourname the reverse of Walmart?
[22:11:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> HUNI?
[22:11:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh.
[22:11:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> You mean Tramlaw.
[22:11:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> Hehe.
[22:11:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> Yeah. I dunno.
[22:11:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> Because it is?
[22:11:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> Most people don't notice until I point it out.
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> We still need to go visit the arger group of Kbolds,
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> and negotiate with them proper.
[22:11:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> We can do that then go to town, I guess.
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> And we could even do something with elves first.
[22:11:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> Did someone say elves?
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> Hehehe
[22:11:32] <Everest|Llayra|DM> We can go back at just about any time, keep in mind. The town isn't going anywhere.
[22:11:32] <Cygan|Seren> Exactly.
[22:11:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> Wnat
[22:11:32] <Everest|Llayra|DM> And I have plans for using elves . . . related to what I was referencing earlier, in fact.
[22:11:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> What about elves?
[22:11:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> Orly?
[22:11:32] <Meophist> Hrmm.. mIRC almost gave up on me as well...
[22:11:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> Μεσσινγ στυφφ υπ.
[22:11:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> Now.
[22:11:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> As you were saying, Evvy?
[22:11:33] <Cygan|Seren> Exctly.
[22:11:33] <Cygan|Seren> And if necessary,
[22:11:33] <Everest|Llayra|DM> So, like I said, want to skip to nighttime? Because that's when I had this planned.
[22:11:33] <Cygan|Seren> I created those Wrdens for you to play with.
[22:11:33] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah.
[22:11:33] <Zersk|Felgrove> Wrdens?
[22:11:33] <Cygan|Seren> Timeskip.
[22:11:33] <Zersk|Felgrove> o.o
[22:11:33] <Cygan|Seren> Our characters can rest til then.
[22:11:39] <Zersk|Felgrove> I'm confuzzled.
[22:11:46] <Cygan|Seren> Shut up bout mah spelling Zersk D=<
[22:11:51] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Well, from the looks of those wardens, they'd thrash us, so I don't want them in just yet. And I was actually thinking this thing would happen on the same day/night sa the orc ambushes.
[22:11:59] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh, wardens. >.>
[22:12:01] <Cygan|Seren> They're not necessarily antagonists.
[22:12:04] <Meophist> Have Seren and Zenfyra recovered?
[22:12:09] <Zersk|Felgrove> Wait, wardens?
[22:12:09] <Cygan|Seren> Nope.
[22:12:13] <Zersk|Felgrove> What're those?
[22:12:15] <Cygan|Seren> They'd need to rest first.
[22:12:18] <Cygan|Seren> Zersk-
[22:12:19] <Zersk|Felgrove> Like sherrifs?
[22:12:19] <Everest|Llayra|DM> I know, but they'd throw our balance off, since they're much high leveled than us.
[22:12:21] <Cygan|Seren> gimme a sec
[22:12:24] <Zersk|Felgrove> Mmkay.
[22:12:29] <Meophist> So, that could be the excuse to just rest, I suppose.
[22:12:34] <Everest|Llayra|DM> We can do more than one battle in a day, guys.
[22:12:45] <Everest|Llayra|DM> We can say that we were about to rest when this thing happens.
[22:12:51] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Or fairly close to resting.
[22:12:56] <INUH|Tramlaw> Yep. Let's go ahead and move on.
[22:12:57] <Cygan|Seren> Zersk-
[22:12:59] <Cygan|Seren> https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12951013770A40621300&page=13#308
[22:13:13] <Meophist> Speaking of the wardens...
[22:13:17] <Zersk|Felgrove> Ohh, it's in the thread!
[22:13:18] <Cygan|Seren> Seren's down to 4 HP, remember.
[22:13:23] <Zersk|Felgrove> I still half to read all this.
[22:13:31] <Meophist> I noticed there were 4 Monks and 3 Monks listed...
[22:13:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> Dammit guys, I'm still on the Dieties part! >: /
[22:13:35] <Zersk|Felgrove> have
[22:13:37] <Cygan|Seren> That 3 Monks was supposed to be 3 Wizards, By The Way
[22:13:44] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Oooh. Okay.
[22:13:45] <Meophist> Alright.
[22:13:47] <INUH|Tramlaw> Seren could drink one of our CLW potions.
[22:13:55] <Cygan|Seren> Tht would be good,
[22:14:04] <Cygan|Seren> but she aso used her Smite Evil. But okay.
[22:14:08] <INUH|Tramlaw> Just read "By the Way" as "Bi The Way."
[22:14:09] <Cygan|Seren> I'm fine with whatever.
[22:14:14] <Cygan|Seren> It's the DM's choice.
[22:14:16] <Cygan|Seren> Hehehe :3
[22:14:24] <Cygan|Seren> Tht was intentional ;)
[22:14:32] <Meophist> What was Zenfyra's hp again?
[22:14:37] <Zersk|Felgrove> 3 wizards, one bed?
[22:15:00] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Okay, so healing Seren, then cutscene, and then the next thing, sound good?
[22:15:10] <Meophist> Alright.
[22:15:11] <Cygan|Seren> Sounds good.
[22:16:35] <Meophist> The bugbear's been speaking in goblin the entire time, right?
[22:16:43] <INUH|Tramlaw> Yes.
[22:16:44] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Yeah.
[22:16:58] <Meophist> So yeah, my character won't be able to make out anything...
[22:17:07] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Nope.
[22:17:13] <Zersk|Felgrove> Seren can speak Goblin?
[22:17:48] <Cygan|Seren> Nope.
[22:17:53] <Cygan|Seren> Goofed for a sec >_>
[22:18:10] <Cygan|Seren> But after you translated it, she says it now >_>
[22:20:20] <Cygan|Seren> Sorry Everest :/
[22:20:30] <Cygan|Seren> Just thought it would be logical of her to think of all this.
[22:20:31] <Everest|Llayra|DM> It's okay.
[22:21:11] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Actually, this sort of thing is encouraged. Doesn't mean I can't rebut in-character, of course.
[22:21:27] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[22:21:32] <Cygan|Seren> Thats good ^_^
[22:23:07] <Cygan|Seren> I mean, 'coz I like to offer up points and alternatives where I can, and point out inconsistencies...
[22:24:48] <Cygan|Seren> Remember;
[22:24:55] <Cygan|Seren> Seren knows nothing about the island, either.
[22:25:09] <Zersk|Felgrove> What island?
[22:25:17] <Meophist> Everybody's on a island.
[22:25:21] <Cygan|Seren> Many of the natives would know multiple languages,
[22:25:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> I know that, but...
[22:25:26] <Zersk|Felgrove> Ohh.
[22:25:27] <Zersk|Felgrove> Okay.
[22:25:28] <Cygan|Seren> but Seren doesn't know that.
[22:25:43] <Zersk|Felgrove> I thought you were talking about a specific PLOT island.
[22:25:44] <Zersk|Felgrove> >.>
[22:25:55] <Cygan|Seren> Just this one.
[22:25:58] <Cygan|Seren> Uhhh...
[22:26:12] <Cygan|Seren> Is there a Knowledge check I need to make to see what Seren knws about the island?
[22:26:41] <Meophist> I think that would be knowledge(local), but you can only do knowledge checks if you have any ranks in them ,I think.
[22:27:09] <Meophist> I don't think anybody here has any ranks in knowledge(local).
[22:27:15] <Zersk|Felgrove> Wait.
[22:27:20] <Zersk|Felgrove> I do.
[22:27:23] <INUH|Tramlaw> I think knowledge(local) for the place you're from is automatically allowed.
[22:27:27] <INUH|Tramlaw> IIRC.
[22:27:44] <Cygan|Seren> Untrained An untrained Knowledge check is simply an Intelligence check. Without actual training, you know only common knowledge (DC 10 or lower).
[22:27:51] <Zersk|Felgrove> I have one rank in Knowledge (Local).
[22:28:14] <Meophist> Knowledge is trained only, so you can't make it untrained.
[22:28:15] <INUH|Tramlaw> Right.
[22:28:22] <Cygan|Seren> ...
[22:28:24] <Cygan|Seren> >_>
[22:28:26] <Cygan|Seren> Are you sure?
[22:28:29] <INUH|Tramlaw> I forgot it was DC-dependent.
[22:28:30] <Zersk|Felgrove> Yah.
[22:28:34] <Cygan|Seren> That's from the page on Knowledge checks...
[22:28:36] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh wait.
[22:28:42] <Zersk|Felgrove> You weren't talking to me. >.>
[22:29:09] <Meophist> That's what I'm reading...
[22:29:12] <Cygan|Seren> So Seren culd potentially know the common stuff about where they are.
[22:29:22] <Cygan|Seren> http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/knowledge.htm
[22:29:24] <Cygan|Seren> Thsi page.
[22:29:27] <Meophist> It's always homerule-able...
[22:29:28] <Cygan|Seren> Down the very bottom.
[22:29:33] <Meophist> I'm reading from the handbook...
[22:29:48] <Cygan|Seren> I'm reading from the site.
[22:29:53] <Meophist> Very top of your page it says "Trained Only"...
[22:30:02] <Meophist> Well, okay, I see it.
[22:30:20] <Meophist> Okay, Yeah, that's in the book as well.
[22:30:22] <Meophist> ...
[22:30:31] <Cygan|Seren> So,
[22:30:40] <Meophist> So anything other than common knowledge requires training.
[22:30:44] <Cygan|Seren> Seren could potentially know very basic stuff about the island.
[22:30:46] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah.
[22:30:49] <Meophist> Yeah.
[22:30:50] <Zersk|Felgrove> Holy Fulcrum.
[22:30:56] <Zersk|Felgrove> Still on the Dieties Worldbuild Log.
[22:30:56] <Cygan|Seren> So Zersk could potentially know more.
[22:30:58] <Zersk|Felgrove> -.-
[22:31:01] <Zersk|Felgrove> Yah.
[22:31:03] <Zersk|Felgrove> : /
[22:31:07] <Cygan|Seren> Well,
[22:31:18] <INUH|Tramlaw> I think Tramlaw wouldn't know much though, having never left his village before.
[22:31:19] <Cygan|Seren> when Everest comes back, we'll have him make another roll?
[22:31:25] <Cygan|Seren> A roll about it?
[22:31:27] <Meophist> Sure.
[22:31:29] <Zersk|Felgrove> Are there any other Worldbuild logs?
[22:31:38] <Cygan|Seren> Since Felgrove comes from this island...
[22:31:44] <Cygan|Seren> Doesn't he?
[22:31:46] <Zersk|Felgrove> He does? o.o
[22:31:52] <Meophist> Why not?
[22:32:00] <Cygan|Seren> He comes from an Elven Empire,
[22:32:03] <Meophist> It's the place for elves, so...
[22:32:06] <Cygan|Seren> and this is an Elvenn Empire...
[22:32:07] <Zersk|Felgrove> Well, my idea was he came from an Imperialistic Empire
[22:32:12] <Zersk|Felgrove> Or yeah, that.
[22:32:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> Mixed together.
[22:32:22] <Meophist> All empires are imperialistic, I believe...
[22:32:32] <INUH|Tramlaw> That's what imperialistic means.
[22:32:33] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh you know what I mean. :P
[22:32:39] <Zersk|Felgrove> Industrious Empire, then.
[22:32:43] <Zersk|Felgrove> Of Elves.
[22:32:49] <Zersk|Felgrove> That are the majority, at least.
[22:33:00] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[22:33:08] <Meophist> So anyways, you'll get a +2 to the check... and since you put a point into all knowledge checks, that applies to all of them.
[22:33:16] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[22:33:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> All the Knowledge Ranks. All of them.
[22:33:25] <Cygan|Seren> So, Zersk, wana make the roll?
[22:33:27] <Meophist> You, as in Felgrove.
[22:33:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> Syoor.
[22:33:52] <Meophist> What are we trying to figure out exactly?
[22:33:59] <Zersk|Felgrove> The natives
[22:33:59] <Cygan|Seren> Well,
[22:34:02] <Zersk|Felgrove> Speaking draconic.
[22:34:04] <Zersk|Felgrove> Or something.
[22:34:09] <Cygan|Seren> the inhabitats f the island know many languages.
[22:34:14] <Meophist> Right.
[22:34:15] <Cygan|Seren> But tht's not common knowledge;
[22:34:19] <INUH|Tramlaw> knowledge(local) wouldn't help with that.
[22:34:27] <Cygan|Seren> Yes it would.
[22:34:29] <Zersk|Felgrove> O O
[22:34:30] <INUH|Tramlaw> Unless you could get some insanely high roll.
[22:34:34] <INUH|Tramlaw> Wasn't done talking.
[22:34:35] <Meophist> ...
[22:34:41] <Cygan|Seren> You sure?
[22:34:44] <Cygan|Seren> I mean,
[22:34:49] <Cygan|Seren> it's not common knowledge,
[22:34:51] <INUH|Tramlaw> Well, if we're talking about finding someone specific.
[22:34:54] <Cygan|Seren> but it's not hidden or anything.
[22:34:57] <Cygan|Seren> No..
[22:34:58] <INUH|Tramlaw> You'd need to do pretty well.
[22:35:03] <Meophist> "Insanely high roll", huh?
[22:35:06] <Cygan|Seren> Just to find out tht the inhabitants know many laguages.
[22:35:10] <INUH|Tramlaw> I'm exxaggerating.
[22:35:12] <Cygan|Seren> 23
[22:35:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> 23 is an insanely high roll, right/
[22:35:15] <Cygan|Seren> >_>
[22:35:15] <Zersk|Felgrove> ?
[22:35:24] <INUH|Tramlaw> @Cygan:Oh. Never mind, then.
[22:35:26] <Zersk|Felgrove> That's what I mean by "O O"
[22:35:36] <Cygan|Seren> So,
[22:35:41] <Cygan|Seren> when Everest comes back,
[22:35:41] <Zersk|Felgrove> And again, O_O
[22:35:42] <INUH|Tramlaw> Holy shit, 23. That works. What do we know about the local area, then?
[22:35:54] <Zersk|Felgrove> All the knowledge. All of it.
[22:35:56] <Cygan|Seren> he'l summarize what Felgrove knows about the area.
[22:35:59] <Meophist> The check is either local or geography in any case...
[22:36:07] <Cygan|Seren> Local.
[22:36:13] <Meophist> What the knowledge is is dependant on the GM in any case.
[22:36:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> You cannot beat Felgrove at a local knowledge check. He is simply the best there is.
[22:36:16] <Cygan|Seren> Local covers inhabitants.
[22:36:22] <Meophist> Right.
[22:36:24] <Cygan|Seren> Exactly.
[22:36:33] <Zersk|Felgrove> How many more Homestuck references can I make...
[22:36:40] <Cygan|Seren> So when Everest gets back, we'll know.
[22:36:43] <Cygan|Seren> Hey Everest!
[22:36:46] <Cygan|Seren> :P
[22:36:47] <Everest|Llayra|DM> I'm back. Goddamn, you guys made a good job of giving me more to skim through.
[22:36:48] <Zersk|Felgrove> : D
[22:36:55] <Cygan|Seren> Hehehe :3
[22:36:55] <Zersk|Felgrove> I GOT A 23!
[22:36:59] <Everest|Llayra|DM> So, what does Felgrove know? . . .
[22:37:07] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh wait, you yell if you got a bad roll.
[22:37:09] <Zersk|Felgrove> I GOT A 4
[22:37:12] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Well, thing is, OOC, I don't know much about the island, myself.
[22:37:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> NO WAIT THAT'S A LIE.
[22:37:16] <Cygan|Seren> No you didn't.
[22:37:17] <Zersk|Felgrove> I GOT A 23
[22:37:24] <Everest|Llayra|DM> I saw the roll, don't get your breeches in a twist.
[22:37:25] <Cygan|Seren> Should I summarize, then?
[22:37:32] <Everest|Llayra|DM> =P
[22:37:36] <Zersk|Felgrove> Okay. ._.
[22:37:38] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Uhh, I think I got the gist of it.
[22:37:43] <Zersk|Felgrove> I'm just being a bit silly. >.>
[22:37:44] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[22:38:02] <Cygan|Seren> I mean,
[22:38:21] <Cygan|Seren> I only really wrote up everything people could potentially find out by studying it.
[22:38:46] <Meophist> Wait, what?
[22:38:55] <Cygan|Seren> Basically,
[22:39:04] <Everest|Llayra|DM> We want to see what he knows, so . . . what did he want to know, exactly? On second thought, a summary would be nice. >.>
[22:39:13] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[22:39:20] <Cygan|Seren> I'll go summarize for you.
[22:39:26] <Cygan|Seren> Don't interrupt :P
[22:40:42] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh.
[22:40:45] <Zersk|Felgrove> Whoops. >.>
[22:40:52] <Zersk|Felgrove> I think I interrupted. >.<
[22:43:41] <Meophist> ...
[22:43:53] <Meophist> Um...
[22:44:18] <Meophist> ...I believe knowledge checks are per-question.
[22:44:46] <Cygan|Seren> NEVER
[22:45:09] <Zersk|Felgrove> -Takes the rulebook-
[22:45:09] <Cygan|Seren> Sorry, but I was goig for two things;
[22:45:39] <Cygan|Seren> trade and geogrphy.
[22:45:39] <Everest|Llayra|DM> No, he's actually right.
[22:45:39] <Zersk|Felgrove> -Eats that part of it out for a while-
[22:45:39] <Meophist> Kinda gets rid of the point of doing knowledge checks in the future...
[22:45:39] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Knowledge checks are per question.
[22:45:39] <Cygan|Seren> Remembering where the villages are,
[22:45:39] <Zersk|Felgrove> Aw. : /
[22:45:39] <Cygan|Seren> and what he knows about their trade.
[22:45:39] <Cygan|Seren> As in,
[22:46:01] <Cygan|Seren> as if the question was 'Where could I find people who would be able to speak their language?'
[22:46:15] <Everest|Llayra|DM> That works.
[22:46:18] <Cygan|Seren> So now he knows about the trade of knowledge, and where to find them.
[22:46:19] <Meophist> Then you'd use a knowledge check to see if you know.
[22:46:28] <Cygan|Seren> He did >_>
[22:46:34] <Cygan|Seren> Then he recalled where.
[22:46:47] <Cygan|Seren> Don't worry, I've stopped now.
[22:46:57] <Meophist> Right, so he'd know now.
[22:47:02] <Zersk|Felgrove> Okay.
[22:47:09] <Meophist> If there is anyway.
[22:47:29] <Meophist> And that information is dm stuff.
[22:47:34] <Everest|Llayra|DM> And after that, we can form a plan and then (attempt to) rest for the night.
[22:47:35] <Cygan|Seren> The Elven village.
[22:47:42] <Cygan|Seren> If I ws going to say something,
[22:47:47] <Cygan|Seren> Id say the capital city-
[22:47:55] <Cygan|Seren> where their large library is located.
[22:48:18] <Cygan|Seren> (Which is information I included in the worldbuilding, which is what jogged mine ^_^)
[22:48:29] <Zersk|Felgrove> Awargh.
[22:48:33] <Zersk|Felgrove> I wanna get to that part.
[22:48:43] <Zersk|Felgrove> But this Dieties Worldbuild is huge, as I've said a million times. : /
[22:48:49] <Cygan|Seren> Yup.
[22:48:51] <Cygan|Seren> It is.
[22:48:59] <Meophist> So Everest?
[22:49:06] <Zersk|Felgrove> Why did I put this off? >.<
[22:49:13] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Yes, Moe?
[22:49:36] <Meophist> I'm just wondering, so Zersk believes we can find someone in the elvan city then?
[22:49:43] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Yeah.
[22:49:47] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Seems like it.
[22:49:54] <Zersk|Felgrove> Not I, Felgrove.
[22:50:00] <Zersk|Felgrove> Or something like that.
[22:50:07] <Meophist> Okay, let's go with that then. (right, Felgrove)
[22:51:02] <Cygan|Seren> That's not right, Zersk.
[22:51:11] <Cygan|Seren> We came from a Human village.
[22:51:13] <Zersk|Felgrove> Huh?
[22:51:15] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh.
[22:51:16] <Meophist> I'm wondering...
[22:51:18] <Zersk|Felgrove> > >
[22:51:21] <Meophist> And it was in a city...
[22:51:22] <Cygan|Seren> The village is the capital Elven City.
[22:51:37] <Meophist> The village is a city?
[22:51:43] <Cygan|Seren> The only major city in Alania is Perennea. This is an Elven city at the base of Stormpeak. Seven Greattrees stand dead here, although no-one knows why. As such, a major city has grown up around the trees here. It holds the two largest churches on the Island. It also holds a large Library, lthough not the largest in the Island Chain. This is the home base of t
[22:52:35] <Cygan|Seren> the Wardens*
[22:52:36] <Cygan|Seren> No.
[22:52:36] <Cygan|Seren> The village he was looking for is the elven city.
[22:52:37] <Meophist> ...]]
[22:52:40] <Cygan|Seren> ~is checking that post as we go~
[22:52:57] <Cygan|Seren> So he's not looking for a village.
[22:52:57] <Cygan|Seren> In other words.
[22:53:12] <Cygan|Seren> He's looking for the city.
[22:54:11] <Cygan|Seren> ...
[22:58:45] <Cygan|Seren> Uh, how much time passes in between, Everest?
[22:58:45] <Everest|Llayra|DM> A few hours. Three or four. Why?
[22:59:01] <Cygan|Seren> I seem to recall something about an eight hour rest fro the Player's Handbook.
[22:59:16] <Cygan|Seren> (Incidentally, thank for that torrent yesterdy, Meo!)
[22:59:22] <Zersk|Felgrove> Reading the Dieties Blog: Okay, I'm at the part after Missing No. I'm getting a bit of a Slender Man vibe. : /
[22:59:29] <Cygan|Seren> Just wondering if it was long enugh for that or not.
[22:59:33] <Cygan|Seren> Hehehe
[22:59:34] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Well, we got back to the camp before nightfall, and I had assumed we were waiting until an adequate time to rest.
[22:59:42] <Cygan|Seren> That's the idea of that.
[22:59:44] <Cygan|Seren> Uhhhh
[22:59:52] <Zersk|Felgrove> This part specifically:
[22:59:52] <Cygan|Seren> I ws thinking,
[23:00:00] <Zersk|Felgrove> [01:39:09] Cygan: At twilight, the sky might turn neon green.
[23:00:03] <Cygan|Seren> the injured people would be asleep.
[23:00:05] <Zersk|Felgrove> [01:39:19] Cygan: The trees might sway in no wind.
[23:00:18] <Zersk|Felgrove> [01:39:33] Cygan: They're screwing around with the basic LAWS of the place.
[23:00:25] <Zersk|Felgrove> [01:39:35] Cygan: But...
[23:00:26] <Zersk|Felgrove> [01:39:39] Cygan: Not everything.
[23:00:29] <Cygan|Seren> The non-injured people would tke turns being on watch.
[23:00:34] <Zersk|Felgrove> [01:39:41] Everest: Yeah. That we can do.
[23:00:42] <Zersk|Felgrove> [01:39:44] Cygan: You can still shoot them.
[23:00:47] <Zersk|Felgrove> [01:39:48] Cygan: They still bleed.
[23:00:52] <Zersk|Felgrove> [01:39:54] Cygan: They're just... WRONG.
[23:00:55] <Cygan|Seren> And they'd let the others sleep until they were healed, at least a little.
[23:01:17] <Cygan|Seren> So... hmmmm...
[23:01:17] <Zersk|Felgrove> I dunno why.
[23:01:17] <Zersk|Felgrove> : /
[23:01:17] <Cygan|Seren> Becuse
[23:01:17] <Zersk|Felgrove> But made me think of Slender Man.
[23:01:17] <Cygan|Seren> That's the sort of vibe I was going for?
[23:01:25] <Zersk|Felgrove> Ohkay.
[23:01:39] <Cygan|Seren> Horror is something I can get the tone for.
[23:01:59] <Zersk|Felgrove> Ohh.
[23:02:29] <Meophist> Argh... Things are disconnecting on me...
[23:02:36] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Okay. The only ones who would need to sleep due to injuries would be Seren and Zenfyr, though.
[23:02:36] <Cygan|Seren> Exctly.
[23:02:37] <Everest|Llayra|DM> The others would be fighting, since it's not recommended to sleep in armor.
[23:02:37] <Cygan|Seren> Which would leave, uh, 2 people to take turns on watch.
[23:02:37] <Cygan|Seren> Plus the Kobolds.
[23:03:09] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Well, we have the kobolds to alert us, yeah. And why would we only leave two awake? We could let the injured rest first, since they'd want to sleep, and then have the rest sleep. We don't want so few people who can fight awake at once.
[23:03:31] <Cygan|Seren> Uhhh
[23:03:38] <Cygan|Seren> They can wke the others up >_>
[23:03:40] <Cygan|Seren> Silly.
[23:03:49] <Cygan|Seren> They keep awake,
[23:04:00] <Cygan|Seren> then they make Spot/isten check
[23:04:12] <Cygan|Seren> And wake the rest of us up.
[23:04:22] <Cygan|Seren> We;re still puttig our armour on,
[23:04:31] <Cygan|Seren> but most of us don't have much.
[23:04:31] <Everest|Llayra|DM> But I wasn't under the impression that we would expect the sleeping to suddenly fight without armor and weapons equipped. There'd be a scramble, and they'd be fighting without armor unless they wanted to incur penalties for the next day.
[23:04:41] <Everest|Llayra|DM> And it takes a few minutes to put armor on, even if only a little.
[23:04:48] <Everest|Llayra|DM> In the event of an ambush, we don't have minutes.
[23:04:53] <Cygan|Seren> True.
[23:05:09] <Cygan|Seren> But Llayra has Entangle, if that's an option.
[23:05:27] <Cygan|Seren> And the Kobolds may help out this time.
[23:05:41] <Everest|Llayra|DM> No, she used it once already. Her other prepared spell is Cure Light Wounds, and I think I used that, too.
[23:05:41] <INUH|Tramlaw> They can fight unarmored if absolutely necessary.
[23:05:52] <Meophist> I think my character can take watch for a while, in any case.
[23:06:00] <Cygan|Seren> And it wouldn't really take forever to put on most armour- just chests and legs.
[23:06:01] <Everest|Llayra|DM> @ INUH: Well, you can do fine with that, Mr. Sorcerer. =P
[23:06:07] <Cygan|Seren> Helmets and shields and such are fine.
[23:06:31] <Meophist> It takes 4 minutes to don armour normally, unless you do it hastily, which is 1 minute.
[23:06:34] <Cygan|Seren> nd depending on the character,
[23:06:37] <Meophist> That's still 10 rounds.
[23:06:49] <Cygan|Seren> some of them may indeed sleep in their armour >_>
[23:06:52] <Meophist> Well, these are the rules on it.
[23:06:56] <INUH|Tramlaw> That's not good for you.
[23:07:01] <Cygan|Seren> I can see Balrog's character doing it,
[23:07:07] <Meophist> I think there's penalties for sleeping in amour...
[23:07:14] <Cygan|Seren> Why
[23:07:15] <Cygan|Seren> wot
[23:07:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> FINALLY
[23:07:22] <Cygan|Seren> why would their be penalties for that
[23:07:27] <Zersk|Felgrove> Finished the worldbuilding dieties. -.-
[23:07:32] <Everest|Llayra|DM> "A character who sleeps in medium or heavy armor is automatically fatigued the next day. He or she takes a –2 penalty on Strength and Dexterity and can’t charge or run. Sleeping in light armor does not cause fatigue."
[23:07:37] <Zersk|Felgrove> And now four more pages to go.
[23:07:39] <Cygan|Seren> FINALLY :P
[23:07:45] <Cygan|Seren> Ah.
[23:08:00] <Cygan|Seren> Don't most of us only have light armour?
[23:08:08] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Llayra's wearing medium (hide).
[23:08:15] <Meophist> I have light...
[23:08:16] <Everest|Llayra|DM> I can't speak for the others.
[23:08:29] <Cygan|Seren> And I'd imagine Seren, the paranoid girl she is, sleeping with her sword and shield under her pillow.
[23:08:41] <Cygan|Seren> So it would just be a pick-up action.
[23:08:56] <Meophist> Zenfyra has light.
[23:09:13] <Cygan|Seren> So two of us are in light rmour already,
[23:09:22] <Cygan|Seren> we can all reach our weapons easily,
[23:09:28] <Meophist> Agia would sleep in her armour.
[23:09:35] <Everest|Llayra|DM> I don't think Tramlaw is even wearing any armor.
[23:09:41] <Cygan|Seren> I can imagine her doing it :P
[23:09:59] <Cygan|Seren> Seren wouldn't sleep in hers, but like I said, she leaves it in easy reach.
[23:10:18] <Cygan|Seren> And it's just...
[23:10:21] <Meophist> Right, but it'll still take at least 10 rounds to put it on.
[23:10:24] <Cygan|Seren> Everybody needs sleep.
[23:10:51] <Cygan|Seren> ike I said:
[23:12:13] <Everest|Llayra|DM> What armor is Felgrove wearing, Zersk?
[23:12:13] <Cygan|Seren> She'd leave the scale mail behind.
[23:12:13] <Zersk|Felgrove> Leather.
[23:12:13] <Zersk|Felgrove> I think.
[23:12:13] <Zersk|Felgrove> Light?
[23:12:14] <Cygan|Seren> Aren't shields like, nothing to sling over your arm?
[23:12:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> I thought shields are supposed to be heavy as hell.
[23:12:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> Or do you mean by Dn D mechanics?
[23:12:14] <Cygan|Seren> By Dn D mechanics.
[23:12:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> Ohh/
[23:12:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> Gragh.
[23:12:14] <Cygan|Seren> Since all you're doing is sliding two straps over your arm.
[23:12:14] <Zersk|Felgrove> Stupid backslash
[23:12:25] <INUH|Tramlaw> That's a forward slash.
[23:12:31] <INUH|Tramlaw> Backslash is \
[23:12:36] <Zersk|Felgrove> AGRHALGKSJEG
[23:12:39] <Zersk|Felgrove> Right. >.>
[23:12:39] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Donning a shield is a move action.
[23:13:01] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Damn it, mom, I'm not even listening to you, why do you try? -_-
[23:13:10] <Meophist> ...
[23:13:14] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Be right back; I have to pretend I'm sleeping.
[23:13:20] <Meophist> Alright.
[23:13:47] <Meophist> So in any case...
[23:14:11] <Meophist> Agia, Tramlaw, and Felgrove can do watching duties, I would think.
[23:14:17] <Cygan|Seren> So, I'd say Felgrove and...
[23:14:28] <Cygan|Seren> Anyone else have good Spot/Listen bonuses?
[23:14:33] <Everest|Llayra|DM> I want Llayra watching too; she has good Spot/Listen checks and doesn't want to be without armor for right now.
[23:14:54] <Everest|Llayra|DM> If we go for two at a time, I think one shift should be Llayra/Felgrove.
[23:15:01] <Cygan|Seren> Plus Haisa.
[23:15:23] <Meophist> Agia would be with Tramlaw, then I guess.
[23:15:24] <Everest|Llayra|DM> If not, all save Zenfyr and Seren.
[23:15:33] <Meophist> Bah... ninja'd.
[23:16:03] <Meophist> I'm missing some lines...
[23:16:04] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Plus Haisa.
[23:16:04] <INUH|Tramlaw> So then I'd take a shift with Agia, maybe?
[23:16:04] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Yeah.
[23:16:04] <Cygan|Seren> But, just thinking of it in purely narrative terms...
[23:16:04] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Anywho, I'll be back, as long as Internet doesn't bug out while my laptop's closed.
[23:16:05] <Cygan|Seren> It really doesn't make sense for 4 people to be on watch.
[23:16:23] <Cygan|Seren> (Okay)
[23:16:23] <Cygan|Seren> I mean...
[23:16:23] <Cygan|Seren> Everybody needs sleep.
[23:16:23] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Well, the more shifts we need, the more time is wasted in the day.
[23:16:23] <Cygan|Seren> Assuming they slept for 4 hours,
[23:16:23] <Cygan|Seren> 8, rather,
[23:16:37] <Cygan|Seren> Then they would probably take it in shifts of 2, for 4 hours.
[23:16:50] <Cygan|Seren> So everybody would get at least SOME sleep.
[23:16:56] <Meophist> That makes sense.
[23:17:08] <Cygan|Seren> Y'know?
[23:17:08] <Cygan|Seren> Rther than 4 people wake for 8 hours...
[23:17:13] <Zersk|Felgrove> Wait.
[23:17:17] <INUH|Tramlaw> So a total of 12 hours for the night, and 2 people are up at any given time?
[23:17:26] <Zersk|Felgrove> Did we forget the experience for the ambush fight?
[23:17:33] <Cygan|Seren> Yeh.
[23:17:42] <Cygan|Seren> (Uhhh, he calculates it later, Zersk.)
[23:17:47] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh okay.
[23:19:44] <Meophist> Trance...
[23:20:58] <Meophist> I'm looking for the rules...
[23:21:58] <Meophist> Trance is 4 hours.
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> And not necessrily, Everest.
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> They still sleep for the same amount of time.
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> But normally, you have 6/7 people to keep guard,
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> so you have 3 shifters.
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> You still sleep for the same amount of time.
[23:22:20] <Meophist> Zersk sleeps for less, I think.
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> You would probably get more sleep, even.
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> But yeah.
[23:22:20] <Zersk|Felgrove> I thought Elves don't sleep.
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> Instead of sleeping for 12 hours like that,
[23:22:20] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh right
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> you'd sleep for the sae 8, but each shift would be shorter.
[23:22:20] <Zersk|Felgrove> I have no idea why they put that in instead. : /
[23:22:20] <INUH|Tramlaw> How long do elves have to trance again?
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> Meditation.
[23:22:20] <Zersk|Felgrove> Right. >.>
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> 6 or 8 hours according to Oo TS
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> Or is it 2?
[23:22:20] <Zersk|Felgrove> If they don't they go crazy and make pacts with three hellish being and put their family in danger, right?
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah.
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> That's a bad idea.
[23:22:20] <Cygan|Seren> Do't do that.
[23:22:21] <Cygan|Seren> Oh
[23:22:21] <Cygan|Seren> which reminds me,
[23:22:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> Yeah.
[23:22:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> I won't.
[23:22:21] <Cygan|Seren> while we wait for Everest,
[23:22:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> I don't even think Felgrove has adopted kids anyway.
[23:22:21] <Cygan|Seren> I had an idea about Demons.
[23:22:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> Yeah?
[23:22:21] <INUH|Tramlaw> Demons. Have we talked about them yet?
[23:22:21] <Cygan|Seren> Nope.
[23:22:21] <Cygan|Seren> So, my idea:
[23:22:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> Okay, so...
[23:22:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> Demons: How do they work?
[23:22:32] <Cygan|Seren> Deities are created by human belief fuelling the channeling of divine power, right?
[23:22:51] <Zersk|Felgrove> Right.
[23:22:55] <Cygan|Seren> But that's all through belief in a concept. A abstract form.
[23:22:57] <INUH|Tramlaw> Hm. So they could be like the same sort of being as gods and angels, but evil?
[23:23:04] <Cygan|Seren> Not quite.
[23:23:24] <Cygan|Seren> Instead of them being formed through belief in a concept...
[23:23:47] <Zersk|Felgrove> Disbelief?
[23:23:47] <Cygan|Seren> They''re formed through belief in something concrete; human emotion.
[23:23:48] <Zersk|Felgrove> Ohh.
[23:24:18] <Meophist> Would the make good demons possible?
[23:24:20] <INUH|Tramlaw> Ah. That makes sense.
[23:25:09] <Meophist> Alright.
[23:25:18] <Cygan|Seren> When humans feel an emotion, some SLIGHT amount of power goes into a being formed from that emotion.
[23:25:18] <Zersk|Felgrove> So like the demons in WH 40 K
[23:25:18] <Cygan|Seren> Good demons?
[23:25:18] <Zersk|Felgrove> Right?
[23:25:18] <Cygan|Seren> Possibly, but they would be extremely Chaotic Good.
[23:25:18] <Cygan|Seren> Uh, I have no idea what that is, Zersk
[23:25:18] <Zersk|Felgrove> A GRIMDARK tabletop wargame.
[23:25:21] <Cygan|Seren> So, they're still made of divine power.
[23:25:30] <Cygan|Seren> I know what Warhammer 40k is
[23:25:43] <Zersk|Felgrove> Basically, the demons are formed in the Warp, which is a swirling mass of emotion.
[23:25:43] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh okay.
[23:25:43] <Cygan|Seren> I don't know what their demons are.
[23:25:43] <Zersk|Felgrove> But yeah.
[23:25:43] <INUH|Tramlaw> Hey Everest.
[23:26:20] <Meophist> We were going to go into groups of two and rotate watches, right?
[23:28:09] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Did you guys decide on anything yet?]]
[23:28:10] <Zersk|Felgrove> Demons their are made of emotions too.
[23:28:10] <Cygan|Seren> you missed
[23:28:10] <Zersk|Felgrove> Hay Evvy! :3
[23:28:10] <Cygan|Seren> My ideas on Demons.
[23:28:10] <Cygan|Seren> And we pretty much decided on
[23:28:10] <Cygan|Seren> Felgrove/Llayra/Haisa on guard
[23:28:10] <Cygan|Seren> Everyone else asleep
[23:28:36] <Cygan|Seren> Seren with her shied nd sword next to her
[23:28:36] <Cygan|Seren> people in light armour equipping it
[23:28:36] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Okay.
[23:28:36] <Cygan|Seren> and yeah.
[23:28:36] <Everest|Llayra|DM> So, with that being decided, let's get down to business.
[23:28:36] <Cygan|Seren> :/
[23:28:36] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[23:28:36] <Cygan|Seren> Less go.
[23:28:43] <Meophist> Agia and Tramlaw would start being the watchers, right?
[23:29:19] <INUH|Tramlaw> Yep.
[23:29:19] <Cygan|Seren> They're asleep.
[23:29:20] <Meophist> They?
[23:29:29] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Felgrove and Llayra/Haisa are the first watch.
[23:29:34] <Cygan|Seren> Tramlw and Agia.
[23:29:39] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah.
[23:29:46] <INUH|Tramlaw> Ah.
[23:29:50] <Meophist> Well, alright.
[23:29:54] <INUH|Tramlaw> I guess that works.
[23:40:17] <INUH|Tramlaw> Anybody here?
[23:40:24] <Everest|Llayra|DM> We're working on the map.
[23:40:28] Meophist is here.
[23:40:33] <INUH|Tramlaw> Oh. Right. Keep forgetting about that.
[23:41:04] <Meophist> I get worried that I'm getting disconnected...
[23:41:53] <Cygan|Seren> Do the Kobolds get listen checks, or re they asleep to?
[23:42:10] <Everest|Llayra|DM> I'll say they're asleep.
[23:42:25] <Meophist> Sleeping people get listen checks to wake up...
[23:42:39] <Everest|Llayra|DM> I'll check the rules on that.
[23:42:58] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[23:43:08] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Sleepers make the check at a -10 penalty.
[23:43:35] <Cygan|Seren> wot
[23:43:36] <Cygan|Seren> T_T
[23:43:46] <Cygan|Seren> Okay, I'll make the check.
[23:44:21] <Meophist> I'll make a check too.
[23:44:59] <Cygan|Seren> I got a 5?
[23:45:09] <Meophist> I got 13...
[23:45:23] <Cygan|Seren> You forgot to add in the -10 penalty.
[23:45:31] <Meophist> +10
[23:45:58] <Meophist> It cancels out.
[23:46:21] <Cygan|Seren> Yu have +10?
[23:46:24] <Cygan|Seren> Jesus
[23:46:28] <Cygan|Seren> what the hell
[23:49:19] <Cygan|Seren> Should I add in the Kobolds?
[23:49:23] <Cygan|Seren> On the map.
[23:49:42] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Sure.
[23:50:15] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[23:51:43] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Thanks, Cygy.
[23:52:25] <Cygan|Seren> She can wake the rest up, right?
[23:52:29] <Cygan|Seren> Even one a round?
[23:53:52] <Zersk|Felgrove> So what's happening now?
[23:54:19] <Meophist> Dog... you're still asleep though.
[23:54:20] <Everest|Llayra|DM> A dog has wandered into our camp for reasons unknown.
[23:54:31] <Everest|Llayra|DM> And Felgrove is guarding, so he sees it too.
[23:54:32] <Zersk|Felgrove> Oh.
[23:54:33] <Meophist> No wait, Felgrove is awake.
[23:54:35] <Zersk|Felgrove> Mmkay.
[23:55:12] <Cygan|Seren> So should I add the dog to the map?
[23:55:27] <Everest|Llayra|DM> I already did.
[23:55:43] <Zersk|Felgrove> I dun see it.
[23:55:48] <Meophist> Is it that line?
[23:56:04] <Cygan|Seren> I see nothing.
[23:56:05] <Everest|Llayra|DM> It's the "D."
[23:56:11] <Everest|Llayra|DM> On the other side of the line.
[23:56:19] <Cygan|Seren> I see no D
[23:56:23] <Zersk|Felgrove> Jebus...
[23:56:25] <Zersk|Felgrove> 30?
[23:56:52] <Cygan|Seren> My rogue could potentially roll a 30 on a Diplomacy check.
[23:57:33] <Meophist> Yay for my +10s.
[23:58:08] <Cygan|Seren> Agia spots EVERYTHING
[23:58:12] <Cygan|Seren> Even the DM's dice
[00:00:16] <Cygan|Seren> 1 squre is 10 feet, right?
[00:00:25] <Everest|Llayra|DM> 5 feet.
[00:00:36] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[00:01:29] <Cygan|Seren> Tht's not 60 feet >=(
[00:02:00] <Cygan|Seren> Close enoug though
[00:02:07] <Everest|Llayra|DM> I forgot that Felgrove had moved forward, but okay.
[00:02:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> I did what now? O.o
[00:02:24] <Cygan|Seren> It was Agia.
[00:02:32] <Cygan|Seren> She spotted him.
[00:02:40] <Cygan|Seren> And 12 squares straight is 60 feet.
[00:02:47] <INUH|Tramlaw> I'll be right back. Bathroom.
[00:02:53] <Cygan|Seren> Two diagonal is about 14 feet or something.
[00:02:55] <Cygan|Seren> ky
[00:04:08] <Everest|Llayra|DM> So, still asleep: kobolds, Tramlaw, Seren, and Zenfyr?
[00:04:15] <Cygan|Seren> Yes.
[00:04:17] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Actually, I need to roll for Xenfyr.
[00:04:27] <Meophist> I'm sure somebody can yell as a free action...
[00:04:41] <Everest|Llayra|DM> But I would also need his character sheet, and INUH can control him when he gets back.
[00:04:53] <Meophist> http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/profiler/view_char.php?cid=45058]]
[00:04:57] <Zersk|Felgrove> God dammit. -.-
[00:04:59] <Zersk|Felgrove> I have to go now.
[00:05:01] <Everest|Llayra|DM> And yeah, anyone who's awake can yell, each time giving the sleeping people another chance to wake up.
[00:05:11] <Cygan|Seren> Um
[00:05:15] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Wait, that's two who would be gone.
[00:05:17] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Bye Zersk.
[00:05:21] <Zersk|Felgrove> Bye.
[00:05:22] <Cygan|Seren> Bye
[00:05:28] |<— Zersk|Felgrove has left irc.esper.net (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)]]
[00:05:31] <Meophist> Alright...
[00:05:49] <Everest|Llayra|DM> So, without Zersk and balrog, I think we should actually start the battle next session.
[00:05:53] <INUH|Tramlaw> I'm back.
[00:05:55] <Meophist> Yeah...
[00:05:56] <INUH|Tramlaw> And Zersk is gone.
[00:06:01] <INUH|Tramlaw> Wonderful :(
[00:06:20] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Well, I'll see you guys next time.
[00:06:23] <Meophist> My spot and listen checks proved useful in any case...
[00:07:50] <Meophist> We can also roll to see if Zenfyra woke up for now...
[00:07:51] <Everest|Llayra|DM> =/
[00:07:55] <Everest|Llayra|DM> That too.
[00:07:58] <Cygan|Seren> :/
[00:08:15] <Meophist> He gets a +6 according to his sheet.
[00:08:33] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Zenfyr did not wake up.
[00:08:40] <Meophist> Well, that was simple.

I'm not going to bother formatting this one as much...

[00:06:28] <INUH|Tramlaw> So we're done then?
[00:06:32] <Meophist> I guess...
[00:06:41] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Yeah. We've got two out of six missing, so probably.
[00:06:58] <Everest|Llayra|DM> I mean, we could, but I'd rather not have quite that many missing. What say you?
[00:06:58] <Cygan|Seren> Bugger :/
[00:07:06] <INUH|Tramlaw> Okay then. See you guys next time.
[00:07:07] <Cygan|Seren> What say me?
[00:07:13] <Cygan|Seren> We don't need to play,
[00:07:17] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Well, part of the reason we chose to split the days up is so we didn't have to worry, actually.
[00:07:25] <Cygan|Seren> but I wouldn't mind wordbuilding at the least.
[00:07:27] <Everest|Llayra|DM> So if one more had to leave, then we might, but . . . I don't know.
[00:07:35] <Meophist> We can do some worldbuilding...
[00:07:46] <Everest|Llayra|DM> And as for that, I have studying to do, so I might not be too involved with worldbuilding.
[00:08:21] <INUH|Tramlaw> I'm kind of tired right now. I could do some worldbuilding on the forum thread when I have the chance between now and next time.
[00:09:09] <Cygan|Seren> Okay, INUH.
[00:09:27] <Cygan|Seren> Um, it ws just I had a few ides I could run past people >_>
[00:09:33] <Cygan|Seren> Stupid hyperactive muse
[00:09:35] <INUH|Tramlaw> Sure. Go ahead.
[00:09:52] <Cygan|Seren> Well, beyond the Demons idea,
[00:10:02] <Cygan|Seren> I had a idea for another island.
[00:10:20] <Cygan|Seren> Since we basically have free reign to mess with the laws of physics,
[00:10:24] <Cygan|Seren> I was thinking...
[00:10:48] <Cygan|Seren> What would happen if the base of a tll island was eroded away so that nothing but pillars remained?
[00:11:04] <Cygan|Seren> So it would basically be a floating island, but supported by enchanted pillars.
[00:11:13] <Meophist> That could be pretty cool.
[00:11:26] <Meophist> I wonder about transportation there though.
[00:11:26] <INUH|Tramlaw> Interesting.
[00:11:33] <INUH|Tramlaw> Maybe held up by Immovable Rods?
[00:11:50] <INUH|Tramlaw> http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicItems/rods.htm#immovableRod
[00:11:51] <Cygan|Seren> (Everest, by the way- Kobolds gain +2 on a Listen checks)
[00:12:19] <Meophist> I don't think any would hear anyways.
[00:12:20] <Cygan|Seren> 8000 pounds?
[00:12:38] <Cygan|Seren> An island would weigh millions times that.
[00:12:44] <Cygan|Seren> They would't hear,
[00:12:53] <Cygan|Seren> but if he keeps it in mind for next time.
[00:13:15] <INUH|Tramlaw> It could have, like, a support structure of them.
[00:13:48] <Cygan|Seren> Or maybe the pillars were enchanted like that?
[00:14:25] <Meophist> In any case, it would be difficult for a ship to get there, wouldn't it?
[00:14:28] <INUH|Tramlaw> Maybe they're like up-scaled equivalents of the same item.
[00:14:40] <Cygan|Seren> Yes, it would be.
[00:14:41] <INUH|Tramlaw> People could get up through an elaborate pulley system.
[00:14:48] <Cygan|Seren> Which is wht mkes it fun >=3
[00:15:09] <Meophist> True.
[00:15:22] <Cygan|Seren> Yup
[00:15:25] <Cygan|Seren> And,
[00:15:45] <Cygan|Seren> I thought about completely underwater one?
[00:16:04] <Meophist> Not exactly an island by that point, but...
[00:16:16] <Meophist> One can do something with that.
[00:16:24] <INUH|Tramlaw> Maybe it could have an air pocket underwater along with it?
[00:16:36] <Cygan|Seren> Yeh.
[00:16:39] <Cygan|Seren> Like,
[00:16:46] <Cygan|Seren> it was a islnd,
[00:16:52] <Cygan|Seren> but then it sunk.
[00:17:40] <Meophist> Hrm...
[00:18:05] <Meophist> We already have a frozen island, so one that sunk isn't far off.
[00:18:14] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah.
[00:18:29] <Cygan|Seren> Ad there's a few underwater races...
[00:19:11] <Cygan|Seren> Not so cool?
[00:19:29] <Meophist> I think underwater race is a given for the setting.
[00:19:45] <INUH|Tramlaw> There are some standard underwater races in D&D.
[00:20:04] <Cygan|Seren> I know.
[00:20:08] <Cygan|Seren> I stated so.
[00:20:24] <INUH|Tramlaw> Oh. I thought you meant we could make some up or something. I'm tired.
[00:20:34] <Cygan|Seren> Nah.
[00:20:52] <Cygan|Seren> I dunno, I didn't put much thought into this one.
[00:21:01] <Meophist> Ah...
[00:21:27] <INUH|Tramlaw> It could work. We just need to put *more* thought into it. This is how ideas start.
[00:21:41] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah.
[00:21:48] <Cygan|Seren> Which is why I brought it up.
[00:22:00] <Meophist> Well, there are aquatic elves we could use...
[00:22:00] <Cygan|Seren> So, hmmm...
[00:22:03] <Cygan|Seren> How did it sink?
[00:22:11] <Cygan|Seren> Uhhh...
[00:22:21] <INUH|Tramlaw> I dunno. Rift instability did it?
[00:22:31] <INUH|Tramlaw> (imagine that was potholed to A Wizard Did It)
[00:22:46] <Meophist> I was thinking about that pothole.
[00:22:52] <Cygan|Seren> I was thinking more Atlantasy.
[00:23:13] <Cygan|Seren> Someone deliberately summoned a tidal wave.
[00:23:28] <INUH|Tramlaw> I dunno. I'll think about it. For now, I think I'm going to sign off. Tired.
[00:23:34] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[00:23:37] <Cygan|Seren> Night.
[00:23:38] <INUH|Tramlaw> Night.
[00:23:41] <Meophist> Alright, good night.
[00:23:53] <Cygan|Seren> Hmmmm
[00:24:15] <Cygan|Seren> I had a idea about the dwarves.
[00:24:26] <Meophist> Right, in the wasteland island, right?
[00:24:31] <Cygan|Seren> Yes.
[00:24:52] <Cygan|Seren> So, if each race is adapting to their skills and environment...
[00:25:15] <Cygan|Seren> Are Dwarves good at magic?
[00:25:30] <Meophist> Let me check...
[00:25:36] <Everest|Llayra|DM> Not particularly.
[00:25:46] <Everest|Llayra|DM> In fact, they have somewhat of a resistance to it.
[00:25:52] <Meophist> They're usually good against magic...
[00:25:56] <Cygan|Seren> Damn.
[00:26:05] <Meophist> World Of Warcraft has similar things, if I remember correctly.
[00:26:11] <Cygan|Seren> I ws hoping to go for slightly Mgitek feel with them.
[00:26:14] <Everest|Llayra|DM> As does Dragon Age.
[00:26:22] <Meophist> Right.
[00:26:26] <Cygan|Seren> Yeh :/
[00:26:44] <Meophist> Magitek Dwarves can be kinda cool though.
[00:26:49] <Cygan|Seren> I duno. I was hoping to give tht island a Dungeon Punk feel.
[00:26:54] <Meophist> I think that can work if they work together with Gnomes.
[00:27:02] <Cygan|Seren> There's gnomes!
[00:27:03] <Cygan|Seren> ^_^
[00:27:11] <Cygan|Seren> Special uderground gnomes
[00:27:28] <Cygan|Seren> They're called Svirfneblin
[00:28:01] <Meophist> Odd name.
[00:28:12] <Cygan|Seren> Yup.
[00:28:28] <Cygan|Seren> But tht's what they're called according to the site.
[00:28:35] <Meophist> Which site?
[00:29:28] <Cygan|Seren> http://www.d20srd.org
[00:29:47] <Meophist> Right.
[00:30:42] <Cygan|Seren> So we can go for a Magitek island?
[00:30:44] <Cygan|Seren> :3
[00:30:51] <Meophist> That doesn't sound bad to me.
[00:31:24] <Cygan|Seren> Okay :3
[00:31:32] <Cygan|Seren> That's cool then.
[00:31:42] <Cygan|Seren> It explains a lot, too >_>
[00:31:55] <Meophist> I'm not entirely sure about the Svirfneblin part though...
[00:32:14] <Cygan|Seren> They're real.
[00:32:23] <Cygan|Seren> Apparently.
[00:32:31] <Meophist> I see them in the Monster Manual.
[00:32:39] <Cygan|Seren> Yeah, see?
[00:32:49] <Meophist> I'm just wondering if they're needed compared to normal Gnomes...
[00:32:50] <Cygan|Seren> We can rename them if you want.
[00:32:54] <Cygan|Seren> Yes.
[00:33:02] <Cygan|Seren> They're adapted
[00:33:08] <Cygan|Seren> to life underground.
[00:33:18] <Cygan|Seren> Normal gnomes aren't.
[00:33:31] <Meophist> Normal gnomes typically live underground...
[00:34:02] <Meophist> In any case, they might work anyways.
[00:34:09] <Cygan|Seren> You sure?
[00:34:26] <Cygan|Seren> Environment: Temperate hills (Forest gnomes: Temperate forests)
[00:34:29] <Meophist> Usually, gnomes live in underground homes near hilly areas.
[00:34:39] <Cygan|Seren> As I said.
[00:34:53] <Cygan|Seren> Also called deep gnomes, svirfneblin are said to dwell in great cities deep underground.
[00:35:03] <Cygan|Seren> Which sounds more like it, correct?
[00:35:10] <Meophist> True...
[00:35:27] <Cygan|Seren> I mean,
[00:35:46] <Cygan|Seren> normal Gnomes dont even have darkvision.
[00:36:34] <Meophist> Yeah, I get it. I just have the feeling I read more about the deep gnomes from somewhere else...
[00:36:45] <Meophist> I can't find it at the moment though, so whatever.
[00:36:48] <Cygan|Seren> I haven't.
[00:36:50] <Cygan|Seren> Hmmm
[00:37:11] <Cygan|Seren> We'll just call them Deep Gnomes.
[00:37:21] <Meophist> That works.
[00:37:38] <Meophist> And they work their magic with the dwarves' technology together...
[00:38:02] <Cygan|Seren> Yes!
[00:38:05] <Cygan|Seren> Hehehe :3
[00:38:24] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[00:38:34] <Cygan|Seren> Wht sort of mgitek would they have :/
[00:39:04] <Meophist> Enchanted items seems like a basic idea, but...
[00:39:08] <Meophist> Not too sure...
[00:39:54] <Cygan|Seren> And maybe something like globelights?
[00:40:06] <Meophist> ?
[00:40:09] <Cygan|Seren> And a tram system or something?
[00:40:17] <Meophist> Tram system works.
[00:40:39] <Cygan|Seren> Globelights = balls of magic lights stuffed inside a glass container for transport.
[00:40:51] <Cygan|Seren> Or possible just enchanted glss balls.
[00:41:39] <Meophist> Yeah, those could work.
[00:41:52] <Meophist> I found a bit of info on the deep gnomes...
[00:41:56] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[00:41:59] <Cygan|Seren> Give it to me.
[00:42:19] <Meophist> Also called deep gnomes, svirfneblin dwell in great cities deep underground. After generations of fighting the other denizens of the underworld, svirfneblin adapted to
[00:42:19] <Meophist> their environment, developing techniques and tactics for combating drow, grimlocks, aboleths, and worse. Moreover, their environment led to the evolution of the natural traits and abilities shared by all gnomes, building on their magical inclinations and focusing them toward more martial concerns.
[00:42:48] <Meophist> In the "Advanced Race Codex - Gnomes"
[00:42:59] <Cygan|Seren> Ah.
[00:43:03] <Cygan|Seren> That works,
[00:43:14] <Cygan|Seren> although they'd face off against different enemies here.
[00:43:22] <Meophist> Yeah.
[00:43:56] <Cygan|Seren> Hmmm
[00:44:07] <Cygan|Seren> So they're a millitaristic race.
[00:44:29] <Meophist> We can change the fluff if need-be.
[00:45:24] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[00:45:27] <Meophist> It might not be a bad idea to make them more like normal gnomes, just adapted to live underground.
[00:45:29] <Cygan|Seren> That works then.
[00:45:34] <Cygan|Seren> Yes.
[00:45:53] <Cygan|Seren> With the racial traits as Deep Gnomes, but society like normal Gnomes.
[00:46:29] <Meophist> Yeah, something like that.
[00:46:53] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[00:47:00] <Cygan|Seren> I can see this working.
[00:47:20] <Cygan|Seren> It also explains how the Lichs and Dragons haven't found them-
[00:47:24] <Cygan|Seren> Illusions!
[00:48:01] <Meophist> Gnomes are typically good at illusions, yes.
[00:49:10] <Cygan|Seren> Exactly.
[00:49:22] <Cygan|Seren> Okay, I think I have this one mostly worked out.
[00:49:31] <Cygan|Seren> Lets discuss Icy Island.
[00:49:47] <Meophist> You read what I wrote, right?
[00:50:04] <Cygan|Seren> Uhhh
[00:50:09] <Cygan|Seren> I thik so?
[00:50:30] <Meophist> https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12951013770A40621300&page=13#312
[00:51:00] <Meophist> I'm not really sure about the new race...
[00:51:03] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[00:51:13] <Meophist> (even though I wrote it myself)
[00:51:24] <Cygan|Seren> Do they trade at all?
[00:51:42] <Meophist> I was thinking yes, but stuff that's unrelated to their technology.
[00:52:16] <Meophist> The frozen island can have stuff rare minerals or something, I'm not sure yet.
[00:52:24] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[00:52:31] <Cygan|Seren> Ad they trade for food?
[00:53:09] <Meophist> Hrm...I didn't really think that far yet, actually.
[00:53:32] <Meophist> But food that can't be found on the island, mostly fruits and vegetables, would make sense.
[00:53:49] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[00:53:52] <Cygan|Seren> Hmmm...
[00:54:12] <Cygan|Seren> Are there any other people living on the island?
[00:54:43] <Meophist> I'm thinking some, but mostly in the village.
[00:55:49] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[00:55:58] <Cygan|Seren> So no real predators or anything?
[00:56:15] <Meophist> I'm not sure about the ecosystem yet.
[00:56:26] <Cygan|Seren> Hmmm
[00:56:37] <Cygan|Seren> That's one of the things you need to think about.
[00:56:44] <Cygan|Seren> Geography?
[00:56:58] <Meophist> Aside from an icy hell-land?
[00:56:59] <Cygan|Seren> Any significant mountains, valleys, glaciers, etc?
[00:57:08] <Cygan|Seren> Yes.
[00:57:16] <Cygan|Seren> Aside from that.
[00:57:24] <Meophist> Mostly flat, some mountains by the coats, big city in the middle in a wide valley.
[00:58:04] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[00:58:07] <Cygan|Seren> Hmmm
[00:58:12] <Cygan|Seren> Nothing else?
[00:58:21] <Cygan|Seren> Just what we've mentioned so far?
[00:58:40] <Meophist> There's a village on the coast, which is basically the travel point into and out of the island...
[00:59:34] <Cygan|Seren> So...
[00:59:36] <Cygan|Seren> Not much.
[00:59:49] <Cygan|Seren> Two cities, one race.
[00:59:53] <Cygan|Seren> One religion.
[01:00:00] <Cygan|Seren> That's about it?
[01:00:04] <Meophist> Mostly, yeah.
[01:00:33] <Cygan|Seren> Okay.
[01:00:42] <Cygan|Seren> Then that one's just about set.

Hey, Everest, when you see this, could you send me a message? I have some questions regarding some things for the liveblog I'm planning, and I'd rather not just ask you a list of questions...

There are too many toasters in my chimney!

More worldbuilding this time.

This time, to do with the months.

I'd say there's 8 months overall, instead of our 12. I'll list them below-

Autumn- Somnulam and Yaesta. Somnulam has 48 days in it, and Yaesta has 44.

Winter- Waelist and Pulanum. Waelist has 48 days in it, and Pulanum has 43.

Spring- Jesthis and Audulis. Jesthis has 48 days in it, and Audulis has 43.

Summer- Kiehla and Feyruhn. Kiehla has 48 days in it, and Feyruhn has 43.

With each having different connotations. For example, Kiehla would mean 'Warm Summer' while Feyruhn would mean 'Cold Summer', since they're warm and cooling down, respectively.

Too stupid?

That sounds fine, actually. I'm wondering what month we're currently on. Also, I'll need to fix my liveblog to show that.

Edit:

For example, Kiehla would mean 'Warm Summer' while Feyruhn would mean 'Cold Summer', since they're warm and cooling down, respectively.
This just caught my eye, if the two words share a meaning, then I think they should share a syllable or something.

'Kiehlahne' and 'Feyrahne'?

In this case, the 'ahne' suffix would mean 'Hot season' or 'Sun season'.

Also, IMHO, Id say we're near the end of Audulis. Or that's how I've been writing my liveblog, anyway.

Alright, I just made up some random stuff for mine, so I have this at the top:
Date: The Thirty-Fifth Year of the Sun, of the Moon of Rangsa, the Second Day.

Edit:

'Kiehlahne' and 'Feyrahne'?

In this case, the 'ahne' suffix would mean 'Hot season' or 'Sun season'.

That could work.

Written on this day, the 27th of Audulis, 437

In the Divine Presence of Her Lady Iomedae

Is what I have the top of my first entry.

I figure, they don't bother counting into the hundreds of years, except for records. And most records will just annotate it to 'The 37th year of the 4th Cycle'. Seren just writes weirdly, as you'll see.

There are too many toasters in my chimney!

Hrmm... alright. The year 437, huh? I suppose there would be an important event 437 years ago then. In any case, we could give names for centuries, although that might overcomplicated things, I'm not sure.
