SirAlextheFirst: Greetings
SirAlextheFirst: I have a question
Adm H Sopko: Good Eeeevening
Chromeus18: hmm?
SirAlextheFirst: As evidenced by the title
Quitesimplymad has entered the room.
Adm H Sopko: Never would have guesse
Adm H Sopko: d
Quitesimplymad: Hello.
SirAlextheFirst: It was brought to my attention - yo, VSM - by someone that people don't want to wait a whole week between D&D sessions
Chromeus18: of course they don't
Quitesimplymad: I can't promise two days a week. I can try. But I can't promise.
SirAlextheFirst: So, if that be true, give suggestions for another time during the week. Preferably Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday evenings
PrisonerOfTheOak: Hmm. Monday is best, out of those.
Chromeus18: speaking of that....
PrisonerOfTheOak: Tuesday or Wednesday I could not make.
Quitesimplymad: I'd agree there, too.
Chromeus18: i might get hired on as a guitar tech for a local band here
SirAlextheFirst: Nice
Chromeus18: so my weekends would be completely gone
SirAlextheFirst: Explain further'
SirAlextheFirst: And y'all do know the sessions as stands now moved back to Fridays right?
Chromeus18: they play shows friday and saturday nights
Chromeus18: i dunno exactly when they play yet, or when they'll start
Chromeus18: or even if i have the job
MagusThePimp: hm...
SirAlextheFirst: So Mondays you say
MagusThePimp: Friday works for me, my next best day is either Thursday or Monday
Quitesimplymad: I... can probably do Mondays.
Quitesimplymad: Maybe.
Chromeus18: i can do mondays
PrisonerOfTheOak: And even Mondays may be tricky. Schoolwork and all that.
Chromeus18: MAYBE fridays, though i'd be out some nights
SirAlextheFirst: Hokay
SirAlextheFirst: I think this works alright then
SirAlextheFirst: Nobody has to worry about missin too much if they have something to do one night
Chromeus18: just hope i don't have to leave the state on tour for a week :P
Chromeus18: or 8
SirAlextheFirst: Heh
Chromeus18: so far though, i'm all gogo
SirAlextheFirst: If you're leaving the state on tour I don't think any amount of game scheduling will help. Also, touring >>>> D&D
Chromeus18: touring = money and horny groupies
MagusThePimp: lol
MagusThePimp: here here
Quitesimplymad: I'd be surprised if you found a band good enough to tour.
Quitesimplymad: >Shrug<
Chromeus18: lotsa bands tour
Chromeus18: not very many make it big though
Chromeus18: but enough about that, more D&D
Quitesimplymad: >Shrug again< I really don't care about the music scene.
SirAlextheFirst: More D&D is ok. Less D&D organization.... gads.... this whole scheduling fiasco is the second worst part of starting a game...
MagusThePimp: yeah
MagusThePimp: tell me about it
MagusThePimp: it's hard to set it up even with your dorm mates
Quitesimplymad: Dorm... mates?
SirAlextheFirst: Yeah
PrisonerOfTheOak: I'm gonna hit the hay early tonight, gents.
Adm H Sopko: Maybe YOUR roomie was your mate, OK, but we do things differently here
PrisonerOfTheOak: G'night.
SirAlextheFirst: Good night
Adm H Sopko: Later
PrisonerOfTheOak has left the room.
MagusThePimp: dorm mates
MagusThePimp: the people on my floor
MagusThePimp: and in the buidling
MagusThePimp: we have a D&D game going ( well, 2 sessions of it )
MagusThePimp: problem is coordinating
Chromeus18: my roommate in college was a gay stripper
MagusThePimp: my roomate is college was a gay exhibitionist
MagusThePimp: ....in my room
MagusThePimp: but he's changed ALOT this year
MagusThePimp: less Liberace, more....whatever you'd call it
SirAlextheFirst: ... no more Dave talk. It's starting to sound like Brent and I don't want to think about that. Oh, and another thing I didn't mention in the rules changes but should have
Chromeus18: my roommate in college did something VERY bad in the shared bathroom one night when he thought i was asleep
SirAlextheFirst: No permanent level drains
Quitesimplymad: (Less Liberace, more Barry White)
MagusThePimp: permanent level drains are fun
MagusThePimp: if you're a mean DM, at least
Quitesimplymad: I don't have roomates, as I go to CC.
SirAlextheFirst: Permanent level drains SUCK.
SirAlextheFirst: They unbalance the party, and make PCs cry.
MagusThePimp: oh, no questions there
MagusThePimp: but they're fun to throw on someone who's pissed you off
Quitesimplymad: Mordenkainen's Disjunction
SirAlextheFirst: I loooove energy drains, no two ways about it, but negative levels are never permanent.
SirAlextheFirst: Death does not cost you XP either.
SirAlextheFirst: And you'll note I banned all the XP-cost spells.
SirAlextheFirst: The moral of the story here is that one's XP total should never decrease.
MagusThePimp: question of my own: how much combat does "low combat" involve?
SirAlextheFirst: DM-initiated combat is usually fairly rare. There are no such things as random encounters (although I may put in a wilderness encounter for no particular reason)
MagusThePimp: so mostly a storyline epic pushed on by the players?
MagusThePimp: that's what this will be?
SirAlextheFirst: Yeah. Emphasis on roleplaying and story.
Adm H Sopko: Do throw in something if things start to get dull though... 1 random per entire story isn't bad. Keeps it real
SirAlextheFirst: Indeed
MagusThePimp: as long as we fight Bob the Kobold cleric, I'll be happy
Adm H Sopko: Heh
MagusThePimp: ah...Bob is a staple in every game my friends and I play
MagusThePimp: he always livens it up more
SirAlextheFirst: Indeed
MagusThePimp: heh
MagusThePimp: dead
MagusThePimp: so...Monday and Friday, I assume?
SirAlextheFirst: Looks like Monday and Friday
SirAlextheFirst: Nobody has anything to say? :P
Chromeus18: it works
SirAlextheFirst: Character sheet coming along, OK?
Adm H Sopko: I'm assuming not tonight?<G>
MagusThePimp: ....I don't have the stuff, remember?
SirAlextheFirst: Oh what huh
SirAlextheFirst: Tonight
SirAlextheFirst: It is Monday, isn't it
Adm H Sopko: Don't worry about itG<>
Adm H Sopko: The Constitution prevents ex-post defacto laws
SirAlextheFirst: We can certainly start up if y'all want
Chromeus18: i'll have to sign onto AIM
MagusThePimp: I can, though no longer than 1.5 hours, probably ( midnight, for me )

SirAlextheFirst: "The caravan is ready to go, but are you all?", Called asks.
Adm H Sopko: ::Easily slips into Hunter's character with no effort::
Chromeus18: "Aye mate, whene'er you are"
MagusThePimp: *puts tissues in his bra, grows his hair longer, and dyes it red*
MagusThePimp: "I'm ready as well"
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter looks at the people he just met, remembering Lester and his words. He then sighs and nods to Called, not arguing with fate:: "Yes. I am ready"

Chromeus18: (i'm always prepared, and i didn't come from the inn :P)

Adm H Sopko: ((Remember, OK, accordian = death)
Quitesimplymad: (Oh, HELL. When did this start up?)
MagusThePimp: (....what about a harp?)
Adm H Sopko: ((Anything but an accordian))

SirAlextheFirst: *is happy VSM came back*
Adm H Sopko: ::He walks up to Called, looking at the man quizzically:: What trading group do you say you represent?
Quitesimplymad: *Fergus gets his stuff and comes back. Apparently.*
SirAlextheFirst: "Silva Enterprises. It is a very new and ambitious group."
Chromeus18: *shifts in his saddle*
Adm H Sopko: ::He nods softly:: "I would imagine it was new... I've never even heard of it... Strange, there seems to be an unusual amount of groups starting up..." ::He shrugs it off and nods his head to Called:: "Thanks for the

SirAlextheFirst: Called smiles, and off we go
Adm H Sopko: ::Mounts one of the free horses, a sturdy brown one, and readies himself to the journey::
SirAlextheFirst: Insert travel music here. Converse with Called, or with others, or not.
SirAlextheFirst: The rest of the drivers still ignore everyone
MagusThePimp: "Just...what exactly is the difference between all these trading groups you're talking about? Why is there a problem with certain ones?"
Chromeus18: "Not a very talkative bunch, are they?"
Quitesimplymad: (OK, Soppy uses ~ to show his thoughts)
Quitesimplymad: (Whoops)
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter's curiosity eventually gets the better of him and he trots up next to Called:: "I heard you mention someone before... someone I know. May I ask a few questions?"
SirAlextheFirst: "Most certainly, Hunter."
Adm H Sopko: "You mentioned a man named Lester. I happened to run into him last night, which led me to this inn... he was a strange man... and acted as if he knew me for years. Do you know anything about him, perhaps?"
SirAlextheFirst: "I do."
Avatar of Soul: *listens intently*
Adm H Sopko: "Care to share that, then? It is not all that important, but the man disturbed me quite a bit... I am just curious to know who he is, or what manner of person he is"
SirAlextheFirst: "He goes by many names, and is no manner of man. I know much about him, and so do you."
Chromeus18: *trots along listening*
MagusThePimp: ::seeing her question go unanswered, Eriko falls back a little, and pulls her flute out of her robe, staring at it::
Adm H Sopko: "So do I? I just met the man yesterday."
SirAlextheFirst: "Perhaps so, but you were in his house shortly before meeting him."
Chromeus18: "Mmm?"
Adm H Sopko: ::He stares at the man as if he was crazy, being a little slow on the uptake. He begins to go through the events of that day, trying to figure out what the hell Called is saying. He pales when the realization dawns on him, and he
Adm H Sopko: begins to fall back, his pace a bit slower. He retains the paunched look on his face for a while::
Chromeus18: "Ye look a bit startled there, lad"
Adm H Sopko: ::He jumps as he hears Jerriford's voice, then awkwardly tries to play it off:: "Oh, it's nothing, really." ::He gives off a laugh to puncuate it:: "I don't think we've met... I am Hunter Sopko. You would be?"
Chromeus18: "Me name's Jerriford, though some know me simply as Jerry."
Adm H Sopko: ::He nods:: "I remember your face from the inn... you wouldn't be affiliated with this Silva Enterprises too, would you?"
Chromeus18: "Neh, I serve m'Lord Tiyrael"
Chromeus18: *takes out his holy symbol and bows his head to it slightly*
Chromeus18: "So Called, where we be headin' this fine day?"
Adm H Sopko: "An honorable profession." ::He nods respectfully again to Jerry and turns his attention back to the road::
SirAlextheFirst: "We should be able to travel most of the way towards the border, if there are no interruptions."
Avatar of Soul: "Idyllic."
Chromeus18: "I thank ye, Hunter, but Tiyrael's grace is more than enough to make these old bones happy"
SirAlextheFirst: Called glances at Eriko's flute, but says nothing. And we keep going.
Chromeus18: "There's nothing to fear on this day, methinks." *admires the sky*
SirAlextheFirst: Jerriford, Jerriford, Jerriford...

SirAlextheFirst: You KNOW saying that is going to make something happen.
Avatar of Soul: (Exactly)
Adm H Sopko: ::He answers quickly, almost too quickly:: "No one"
Adm H Sopko: "Simply a man I met before I arrived at the inn last night."
SirAlextheFirst: Nothing out of the ordinary happens throughout the day, though. The road is straight and the going is fast, and rather boring.
Avatar of Soul: "But it was said that he gathered us all here together, and I recall no man named Lester."
Chromeus18: "Tiyrael's will is what brought me here, I know not of some Lester havin' a say in it"
Adm H Sopko: "Of sorts... he did recommend the inn that night. It lead me here. So Called is sort of correct. I guess they must be old friends or something."
Avatar of Soul: "Such is my guess. I think I'll go talk to Called about it."
Adm H Sopko: ::Once Quek is out of his range of sight, he bites his lip softly and sighs::
Avatar of Soul: *heads to Called*

Chromeus18: own them all!
SirAlextheFirst: Very well then
SirAlextheFirst: Attack away
Chromeus18: am i lagging?
SirAlextheFirst: That involves declaring any abilities used, like Power Attack, the rolling of a d20 and informing the DM of the total, and then the rolling of damage
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter rides up, longsword drawn as they are attempting to get another arrow into their bows. He curses himself for attracting their attention, but the galloping horse would've done it anyway. He takes to the right and attacks::

Chromeus18: i can move that far on a horse :P
Quitesimplymad: ....
Quitesimplymad: So what have I seen, exactly?
Quitesimplymad: A guy swings at absolutely nothing, and another guy rides out to help him.
Chromeus18: yep
Chromeus18: and Quek moved toward the back
SirAlextheFirst: You've seen Quek ride to the back, out of sight, and Hunter and Jerriford ride over to the left, and Hunter yell and swing his sword at nothing,
SirAlextheFirst: Yeah.
MagusThePimp: and I'm still playing my flute
Avatar of Soul: And yet has said nothing, because Queklain doesn't feel he'll need help.
MagusThePimp: red-headed ditzes are fun
Quitesimplymad: Uh huh...
Quitesimplymad: I'll... just stay here and guard the caravan, in case the silly nothing tries to attack it up close.
SirAlextheFirst: Score
SirAlextheFirst: (Yes, this is combat. Bizzare, ain't it)
Quitesimplymad: I guess I'll also take moderate cover, considering, well, arrows.
SirAlextheFirst: Alrighty.

MagusThePimp: gah...I need to go now
Avatar of Soul: I want to rip him from the horse, and use the tongue tendril to wrap the other end around the back of the caravan.
SirAlextheFirst: Good night, then
Quitesimplymad: And Quek is pulled from his horse, the tongue from his mouth.
MagusThePimp: later
MagusThePimp has left the room.
Quitesimplymad: So long.

SirAlextheFirst: Grapple check on your end to pull him off

SirAlextheFirst: Fergus sees Soppy hit nothing, again.
Chromeus18: i think Soppy has Curse of Chrome©
Quitesimplymad: Did I see him get shot by nothing?
SirAlextheFirst: Or rather, fail to hit nothing
SirAlextheFirst: Yes.
Quitesimplymad: Well, that'll influence my next action.
SirAlextheFirst: An arrow appeared in his side.

SirAlextheFirst: Let us then proceed to Fergus
Quitesimplymad: (OOC: Where is Pengy's character, during this?)
SirAlextheFirst: Eriko continues to play her flute.
Quitesimplymad: Fergus rides over to where Hunter is, if he can.
Chromeus18: (he's napping in the caravan >_>)
Quitesimplymad: (Good enough.)
SirAlextheFirst: Peng's character, in the great White Wolf tradition, is here in the form of a chibi llama which does nothing.
Quitesimplymad: O.....k.
Avatar of Soul: *sighs* Crazy crazy gangrels.
Quitesimplymad: So yeah. I ride over thataway, if I can.
SirAlextheFirst: And you too get the awesome experience of seeing two horseback riding archers appear out of nothing when you get close to em!
Quitesimplymad: Aww. I was hoping they were just very small.
Avatar of Soul: lol.
Chromeus18: except you can attack!

SirAlextheFirst: Waarrr lag
Chromeus18: BAB + Str mod
Chromeus18: it's a normal attack roll
Quitesimplymad: Str is in my attack roll?
Chromeus18: yes
Quitesimplymad: Ok. 17.

SirAlextheFirst: Yep
SirAlextheFirst: Normal attack
Quitesimplymad: 9, then.
SirAlextheFirst: Your mighty greatsword impacts the puny bowstring! And the bowstring goes twang, and pops like the scared little rabbit it is
Chromeus18: Order: Quek, Soppy, Eriko, Jerriford, Fergus.
SirAlextheFirst: I am impressed.
Chromeus18: err.. forgot me, but i'll go now!
Quitesimplymad: "GET OUT OF HERE"
SirAlextheFirst: ....right!

Quitesimplymad: Don't you get your modifier?
SirAlextheFirst: Mighty smiting occurs! The archer just winces a bit, but rest assured, he was mightily smited.
Chromeus18: i have no modifier :P
Avatar of Soul: Oh damn.
Quitesimplymad: What's with the +1?
Chromeus18: weapon focus
Quitesimplymad: Ah.
Quitesimplymad: Remember when I asked about Intimidation during combat?
SirAlextheFirst: Aye?
Quitesimplymad: When can I do that?
SirAlextheFirst: On your turn
Quitesimplymad: Excellent.
Chromeus18: so now, enemies turn!
SirAlextheFirst: Not that it's really necessary. The dead archer.... starts rotting, and the disarmed one turns and rides straight away, still humming.
Adm H Sopko: Spoooky noochies
SirAlextheFirst: The remaining live one tries to reach into his clothing, which is hard seeing as how he's riding and holding a bow.
Quitesimplymad: Ah, nuts.

SirAlextheFirst: And gets run over.
Adm H Sopko: Someone with worse luck than me!
SirAlextheFirst: The wagons all halt ASAP.
Quitesimplymad: I'd assume they would.
SirAlextheFirst: Mr. Archer Man continues to ride away.
SirAlextheFirst: His job, it seems, is done.
SirAlextheFirst: And you all?
Chromeus18: the one that just shot is riding away?
Quitesimplymad: (Nice going Soppy.)
SirAlextheFirst: Yes.
Quitesimplymad: (Kidding. Kidding.)
Chromeus18: "After him! I'll see to our driver"
SirAlextheFirst: Lucky Archer is riding straight ahead.
Quitesimplymad: (I kid because I love. To make you miserable.)
Avatar of Soul: I return to where the others were, pull the arrow from my shoulder, and then cough up blood.
SirAlextheFirst: Pwned Bitch Archer is riding off to the left (west, actually)
Chromeus18: i ride over to Called, and spontaneously cast a cure light wounds on him
*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 8-sided die: 4

SirAlextheFirst: He's dead.
SirAlextheFirst: Quite dead.
SirAlextheFirst: Beyond any mortal aid.
Quitesimplymad: Well, poo.
Chromeus18: "Alas....he's gone..."
Quitesimplymad: This is all Roald's fault.
Quitesimplymad: "Bah! I couldn't get to the other one fast enough"
Chromeus18: "The poor lad..."
SirAlextheFirst: (Double damage from the critical fall and overrun kinda puts him below his death HP. Quite a bit below.)

SirAlextheFirst: (Nope)

SirAlextheFirst: They definately just lost their leader.
SirAlextheFirst: Utter silence reigns.
Chromeus18: "Well, we must go on.. " *turns to the other drivers* "Who's second in command of this caravan?"
SirAlextheFirst: They turn and stare at Fergus.
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter watches the drivers attentively for an answer, ready to take this over himself if need be::
SirAlextheFirst: Then at Hunter.
SirAlextheFirst: Then at the Peng Llama.
Chromeus18: "Well? Out with it!"
SirAlextheFirst: At last, one of them speaks. "There is none. This caravan has met its end."
Avatar of Soul: "Pitiful. You had no contingency plans set for this possible occurance?"
Chromeus18: "Goblincrap! Someone has to be able to take over"
Quitesimplymad: <He's acting a bit differently>
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter steps forward:: "Would one of us suffice for the rest of the way?"

SirAlextheFirst: Another: "The caravan is yours to command now. We will drive, if you wish."
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter nods:: "Alright then. If no one else wants, I shall take on that responsibility. I do have some experience with trading..."

Adm H Sopko: ::He walks to the drivers:: "Was Lisas the intended destination?"

Adm H Sopko: "Were the route maps and passports all in Called's wagon?"
Chromeus18: that's interesting RP for "resting to regain my spells" :P

SirAlextheFirst: Driver #10 looks at Jerriford.
Quitesimplymad: "Eh?"
Chromeus18: "I think I'll jest be hangin around out here after all...."
SirAlextheFirst: The drivers pick up Called's body, close its eyes, and remove the arrow.
Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter watches them, trying to understand what is going on::

Adm H Sopko: ::Hunter sighs and stones his will:: "Alright. I suppose we'll be off in a moment. I must check over all of Called's maps and documentation"

Chromeus18: *returns, and sits next to Hunter*
Adm H Sopko: the aformentioned maps and papers::
SirAlextheFirst: In a pocket under the driver's seat, there is an official sealed document stating that this caravan is under legitimate business for Silva Enterprises, HQ Lisas, Gelendar, and all questions should be directed there.
Quitesimplymad: (They're Mobsters!)
Chromeus18: *to Hunter* "We be shipping the dead, laddie..."

Quitesimplymad: "Aye"
SirAlextheFirst: I should mention it's almost dark by now.

Avatar of Soul: Ev > Throkk > Chrome (lots of guys in the beginning), >Nellix > Aku > All new guys
Adm H Sopko: Nope
Avatar of Soul: It was weird, but I liked it.
Quitesimplymad: Something about bullrushing someone off a cliff, into a lake, or something, strikes me as fun.
Adm H Sopko: nice touch with the people... and Called was just freaking hilarious
Chromeus18: it was weird, but not as weird as some of them in the other AND
Adm H Sopko: I think we would've left the body behind...
Quitesimplymad: Then again, they have to have to be within 5 feet of a lake.
Quitesimplymad: (I don't go with them upon Bullrushing, do I?)
SirAlextheFirst: You push them
Quitesimplymad: That's what I thought.
SirAlextheFirst: You move into their lil space and they move out.
Chromeus18: that's like FFT, when i'd Tackle people off of high ledges for 5 damage, and they'd take 220 in the fall :P
Quitesimplymad: So that's a feat I should learn.
Avatar of Soul: Yeah
Avatar of Soul: What are the odds of a push back, anyway?
SirAlextheFirst: On Dash and Throw Stone, 50%
Avatar of Soul: Nifty
SirAlextheFirst: Critical hits from normal attacks, swordskills, etc also knockback.
Quitesimplymad: Not always.
SirAlextheFirst: This was an example in enemy tactics, too.
Chromeus18: yeah, they go for the leader -_-
SirAlextheFirst: What do you do when one partner is dead, the other got his weapon broken, and you've got 3 men on you?
Adm H Sopko: Run
SirAlextheFirst: Aim for the lead caravan driver, who has no armor and doesn't look tough.
Chromeus18: was he trying to draw a weapon?
SirAlextheFirst: That stops the caravan. THEN you run while the defenders have to stop and get their act back together.
SirAlextheFirst: And it worked like a dream.
Adm H Sopko: Well, at least we know why Called didn't have to be buried
SirAlextheFirst: Chrome: Yes. He wanted to sunder VSM's weapon in return.
Chromeus18: i told the others to go after him >_>
Chromeus18: ah well, the caravan still marches on!
Quitesimplymad: >Shrug< What do I care if he gets away?
Chromeus18: you could give him a Nellix style interrogation

Chromeus18: twas very fun, though sad to see Called go :-(
Quitesimplymad: Did my lack of RPing strike you as annoying?
Adm H Sopko: I'm fine and dandy like sour candy
Avatar of Soul: Nah.
Chromeus18: i knew i shoulda cast magic weapon before i attacked :/ oh well
SirAlextheFirst: Not annoying, VSM
Adm H Sopko: Hunter is sad and annoyed someone that his source of info was killed<G> Not to mention lack of paperwork to get across the border<G>
SirAlextheFirst: Somewhat sad you're missin out, but it's fine
Avatar of Soul: Borders are rarely something to worry about
Quitesimplymad: Just sneak across.
Quitesimplymad: You're in charge.
Quitesimplymad: They won't mind.
SirAlextheFirst: I was prepared for Called to die.
Adm H Sopko: Hunter would, being from a Trade Group. They usually have to take official roads that require paperwork.
Quitesimplymad: Then, if caight...
Adm H Sopko: Well, he's from a reputable one<G>
Quitesimplymad: Simply have the person with the highest intimidation modifier boldly step out.
Adm H Sopko: no black market for Soppy
Chromeus18: i should've critted that archer bastard
Quitesimplymad: Show the guards the cargo.
*OnlineHost*: Chromeus18 rolled 1 20-sided die: 1
Chromeus18: >_>
Quitesimplymad: And say "You wanna end up like them, son?"
*OnlineHost*: Quitesimplymad rolled 1 20-sided die: 12
SirAlextheFirst: Called wouldn'ta died, either, except he fell off the wrong way. Well, and the guy failed to crit him. So I guess it was even.
Quitesimplymad: And BAM. No border worries.
Adm H Sopko: Should be interesting
Quitesimplymad: I maintain that it's all Roald's fault. And Strago's character, who doesn't exist yet.
Quitesimplymad: DAMN YOU, _______!
Adm H Sopko: Hunter blames himself for wiffing on those two swipes... shoulda been able to stop him
SirAlextheFirst: Roald was set up to be the commander, but he did not join the Kabal Of People Who Are Here.

Avatar of Soul: Self blame is the first step to bad things.
Avatar of Soul: The REAL fun is blaming other people.
Adm H Sopko: Hey! Alex used my tagline!
Avatar of Soul: Like the dude who sundered the bow.
SirAlextheFirst: I sure did
Avatar of Soul: He should have been able to kill the other dude instead of sundering the bow
SirAlextheFirst: Cause it's a very nifty and fitting line.
Adm H Sopko: Indeed
Quitesimplymad: Oh, I'm sorry. I should have killed man #3, so man #2 could shoot Called in the neck and make him Die.
Adm H Sopko: And the dwarf for not attacking at all
Avatar of Soul: Exactly
Quitesimplymad: It's just more dramatic, that way.
Avatar of Soul: It doesn't matter how FAIR you are in blame
Avatar of Soul: You just gotta blame someone other than you.
Quitesimplymad: The dwarf attacked. He just failed to do decent damage.
SirAlextheFirst: He did decent damage.
Quitesimplymad: 2?
Adm H Sopko: His first move he just went and stood there
SirAlextheFirst: Yes, 2.
Adm H Sopko: The second move he attacked
Quitesimplymad: "Woah! 2 enemies. Better let the Ranger take this one"
Quitesimplymad: "Oh, the one got his bow broke. Time to come in and steal the glory."
Chromeus18: hey, that defense kept me from gettin skewered buddy :P
Adm H Sopko: YOU
Quitesimplymad: Hahaha.
Adm H Sopko: What about me? Or poor Called?
Quitesimplymad: Called got it later.
Chromeus18: and who would be here to heal your wounds if i took one to the eye >_>
Adm H Sopko: I maintain that it's the dwarf's fault. But Hunter still blames himself
Quitesimplymad: If the Dwarf were just standing around stupidly on the second round, he could have retreated.
Avatar of Soul: lol
Quitesimplymad: What about Eriko? She played a fucking flute for the whole battle, and I didn't even get moral increases.
Avatar of Soul: LOL
Adm H Sopko: LOL
Adm H Sopko: morale
Quitesimplymad: Whatever.
SirAlextheFirst: Heh
Chromeus18: she has to play a skin flute to get morale increases
Adm H Sopko: If you want that, she's all yours
Avatar of Soul: Why do you think I took a tongue spell?
Avatar of Soul: So I can get the morale bonuses alone.
SirAlextheFirst: ..........................
Quitesimplymad: Ew.
Avatar of Soul: Ah nevermind.
Chromeus18: *removes gorth's last two lines from his memory*
Chromeus18: remind me to call you Pee Wee next session :P
SirAlextheFirst: Anyways
Quitesimplymad: What sort of nifty things can I do with a grappling hook?
Chromeus18: you can do ninja stuff
Adm H Sopko: Tongue!? Thats today's secret word! AHHH
Chromeus18: like flying
Quitesimplymad: I... don't think so.
SirAlextheFirst: XP: 500 for the Kabal.
Chromeus18: whoo!
Adm H Sopko: I get XP for doing jack shit and a half?
Chromeus18: you tried!
SirAlextheFirst: You RPed a lot
SirAlextheFirst: Everyone did stuff.
Adm H Sopko: Alrighty<G>
SirAlextheFirst: Even Eriko.
Quitesimplymad: You swung and missed. But you swung.
Chromeus18: you learn from your mistakes /nod
Quitesimplymad: Which is worth EXP by D&D rules.
Adm H Sopko: And I learned how to take an arrow to the side
Quitesimplymad: I learned that breaking an enemy's weapon can make them run away.
Chromeus18: my first few session i learned how to shoot my allies on crit misses
Quitesimplymad: CAN.
Chromeus18: so don't feel too bad soppy :P
SirAlextheFirst: Quite right
Adm H Sopko: ::Nods::
Avatar of Soul: Well I'm gunna leave the chat
Avatar of Soul: so later, guys.
Avatar of Soul has left the room.
SirAlextheFirst: Good night
Adm H Sopko: Can't wait to see where this is goin
Quitesimplymad: I had a monofilament whip in Shadowrun, before.
Chromeus18: later gorth
Quitesimplymad: I'm pretty sure I can hit myself with that one.
SirAlextheFirst: Sure can
Quitesimplymad: That's a horrible weapon to hit yourself with.
Adm H Sopko: Are whips weapons in D&D?
Chromeus18: crit miss! it wraps around your neck and you decapitate yourself
SirAlextheFirst: They sure are
Quitesimplymad: Whips, razor whips.
Quitesimplymad: Other things that have weird names, and are like whips.
Chromeus18: 15 foot range, 1d3 subdual damage, 20 crit, x3 (i think)
Chromeus18: +2 to disarm and trips, like Indiana Jones
SirAlextheFirst: Many things I hate are going on right now
SirAlextheFirst: Timing issues
SirAlextheFirst: Introducing shy RPers
Adm H Sopko: Eh? Who?
SirAlextheFirst: Overland travel
Quitesimplymad: I'm not a shy RPer. I just have a quiet character. I didn't play a bard for YOUR sake.
SirAlextheFirst: I meant OK
SirAlextheFirst: And Strago
Adm H Sopko: Ah
Chromeus18: a bard with a greatsword? that's pretty amusing :P
Quitesimplymad: Strago's a shy RPer? I thought he didn't talk because he didn't have a character, yet.
SirAlextheFirst: He doesn't
Quitesimplymad: No, I'm not a bard.
Quitesimplymad: Though... yes. That would be amusing.
Chromeus18: one day i'll make a halfling who uses a greataxe
Adm H Sopko: That'll be the mid-boss<G>
SirAlextheFirst: Go go bizzarre plot
Chromeus18: his EPIC STRENGTH will overcome the -8 hit penalty >_>
Adm H Sopko: ::Raises the axe:: "YOU WILL BOW DOWN BEFORE THE MIGHT OF..." ::Falls backwards::
Chromeus18: he'll be like that dragon in bahamut lagoon that rarely hits, but when he does it HURTS
SirAlextheFirst: Most of all, though, y'all are quiet
SirAlextheFirst: Very, very quiet
Adm H Sopko: I do well enough
SirAlextheFirst: It's not a bad thing
Chromeus18: a halfling barbarian named Uni......
Chromeus18: i talk alot though
SirAlextheFirst: Yeh
SirAlextheFirst: Chrome, be more patient :P
Chromeus18: maybe too much >_>
Adm H Sopko: I talked, I took initiative, etc...<G> ::Kicks dead Called for dying::
SirAlextheFirst: I like working in IM for things that not everyone should really know about
SirAlextheFirst: Element of surprise and all that
Quitesimplymad: Of course.
Adm H Sopko: Works for me
Quitesimplymad: It beats tossing crumpled up paper around.
SirAlextheFirst: Of course, when I do that, nothing shows in chat
Quitesimplymad: I calculated my damage wrong, but I won't do it again.
SirAlextheFirst: So it looks like nothing is happening
Chromeus18: well, just give a lil note then when you're goin to IM
Chromeus18: unless it's a really really big secret
Quitesimplymad: Nah. Just let everyone else hack out something amongst themselves.
Adm H Sopko: I'd say carrying dead bodies was pretty big
Chromeus18: in combat there aren't any really big secrets
Quitesimplymad: I thought we were fighting very small enemies.
SirAlextheFirst: Not in this combat. Later on, who knows?
Quitesimplymad: Possibly rats with bows, because I know Alex does meth.
SirAlextheFirst: LOL
Chromeus18: of course, if someone gets dominated or somesuch, none of us should know if it works
Adm H Sopko: LOL
Quitesimplymad: DAMN YOU REDWALL!
Chromeus18: alrighty guys, i'm gettin kinda sleepeh
Adm H Sopko: Alrighty
Quitesimplymad: Good night, then.
Chromeus18: had to haul AC units around all day
Quitesimplymad: And it's been fun.
Adm H Sopko: Yep
Quitesimplymad: Oh, Air Conditioning.
Chromeus18: yes, and it'll be fun in the future!
Adm H Sopko: ::Kicks the CoC:: You haven't gotten me yet!
Chromeus18: *clinks a can of mountain dew with everyone*
Quitesimplymad: I had an "internet development" class that I already knew about.
Chromeus18: the COC will get you, my dearie
Chromeus18: and your little dog too!
Adm H Sopko: Not my little dog too!
SirAlextheFirst: Good night, Chrome
Chromeus18: alrighty, g'nite folks
Chromeus18 has left the room.
Adm H Sopko: Poor Bow-Wow...
Adm H Sopko: But Alex, stop with the ripping of your own RP. You're starting to sound like me and my writing and RPing<G>
Adm H Sopko: on even
SirAlextheFirst: Heh
SirAlextheFirst: Thanks
Adm H Sopko: If it's ever bad, we promise to tell you. Until then, consider everything peachy super happy keen
Quitesimplymad: If anyone knows about taking a crap over their own work, it's VSM. Though, I may actually suck.
Adm H Sopko: Feh. Did you READ some of my RPGI articles? horrible...
Quitesimplymad: Roleplaying is hard to screw up.
Quitesimplymad: I don't like Shadowrun.
Adm H Sopko: Except the Fei articles... those 4 I'm proud of
Quitesimplymad: And I'm sure we played it wrong.
Quitesimplymad: But it was still fun.
Quitesimplymad: Our troll was.... eh... strong.
Quitesimplymad: And more machine than ma..troll.
Adm H Sopko: BTW, the book of Yuri's turned into a new idea
Adm H Sopko: Since Fei didn't get back on his feet with my Fei articles, I've come up with a new plan
SirAlextheFirst: I'm just scarred by Gorth
Adm H Sopko: Fight Club. With Fei as Edward Norton and Yuri Hyuga as Brad Pitt
Adm H Sopko: Fei's career is revived and he's no longer living in the streets
Quitesimplymad: Unlike Edward Norton.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
Adm H Sopko: He was good in Death to Smoochy
Quitesimplymad: Nah, he's pretty good.
Quitesimplymad: I just don't watch movies.
Quitesimplymad: Except for a few random ones, and marvel's. Because I am Marvel's bitch.
Adm H Sopko: Heh
Adm H Sopko: Whee... Soppy's been spoken to by a god... so he thinks at least
SirAlextheFirst: GOOD catch on that one
SirAlextheFirst: GREAT catch on not lettin on
Quitesimplymad: ?
Adm H Sopko: How hard was it to figure out, really
Quitesimplymad: I caught that, and I didn't even know where his character was.
SirAlextheFirst: Not really hard for you
SirAlextheFirst: Chrome had no idea, though.
Adm H Sopko: I think he means my character
Adm H Sopko: Oh
Adm H Sopko: And Gorth obviously did
Quitesimplymad: Then again, I have a wisdom score that's higher than 9.
SirAlextheFirst: I mean that it wasn't hard to figure out, but you did a good job RPing the figuring out
Adm H Sopko: ::Nods::
Quitesimplymad: Fergus, now.... He's questioning why he's a barbarian.
Adm H Sopko: My wisdom is an 11, so I figured it'd take a little time to sink in
SirAlextheFirst: Fergus needs some development.
SirAlextheFirst: He'll get a chance soon enough.
Quitesimplymad: Dex and Wisdom don't strike me as important to Barbarians as the PHB does.
Adm H Sopko: Fergus is VSM, right?
SirAlextheFirst: We are after all heading to Penobscot, land of the wild.
Quitesimplymad: Or rather, as they do to the PHB.
SirAlextheFirst: Yes
Adm H Sopko: I thought he was a fighter?
Quitesimplymad: Barbarian.
Adm H Sopko: Ah
Quitesimplymad: Why didn't I rage? I wasn't worried.
SirAlextheFirst: Can't do things like Sunder in rage anyways
Quitesimplymad: Nope.
SirAlextheFirst: You might consider remaking Fergus as a fighter
Quitesimplymad: The Pick is my Rage weapon.
Quitesimplymad: No, I plan to alternate.
Quitesimplymad: There are plusses to each that I like.
SirAlextheFirst: Or going into Fighter soon, keeping some Barb
SirAlextheFirst: Yeah
Quitesimplymad: But I don't just want the fighter levels.
Quitesimplymad: Because there's a LOT of feats I can't take.
SirAlextheFirst: Fighter's mad feats seem to better fit your character design.
Quitesimplymad: And I'm not gonna take toughness several times, when I get the same stuff + Barbarian rage, from a barb.
Quitesimplymad: Fergus will rage, soon enough.
Quitesimplymad: That's what the pick is for. Can't sunder with a piercing.
Quitesimplymad: You CAN score a 4x critical hit, though. ^_^
SirAlextheFirst: Indeed.
Quitesimplymad: I was doing the calcs, though. I think that I can get all the feats I want, and fast, if I just alternate.
SirAlextheFirst: <3 on Mr. Slicey.... sigh.... memories
Adm H Sopko: I'll probably turn fighter after a time... then Paladin if this touched by a Gabriel stuff keeps happening
SirAlextheFirst: The gods hit everyone
SirAlextheFirst: S'ture
SirAlextheFirst: *true
SirAlextheFirst: Anything's possible.
SirAlextheFirst: Well
SirAlextheFirst: Anything else?
Adm H Sopko: ::Points towards Asgard's castle:: Yes... anything...
SirAlextheFirst: ROTFL
Adm H Sopko: ::Whistles innocently::
Quitesimplymad: Ah, yes.
Adm H Sopko: Thats the biggest reaction I've ever seen Alex give
Adm H Sopko: Ever
SirAlextheFirst: Oh really?
Adm H Sopko: Yeah
Quitesimplymad: You missed the lapdance. But that might have been a meth fantasy.
Adm H Sopko: Usually just a laugh or an LOL
Quitesimplymad: CURSES! I've already made a meth joke.
Quitesimplymad: The networks will have my ass.
SirAlextheFirst: Did y'all read those logs I pointed ya at?
Adm H Sopko: VSM has no idea what I mean<G>
Adm H Sopko: No, but I mean to
Quitesimplymad: No.
SirAlextheFirst: Heh.
Quitesimplymad: I... don't know if I will or not.
SirAlextheFirst: You'll see me overreacting in them.
Quitesimplymad: I'm not busy. I just don't do much. Ever.
Adm H Sopko: Hooray
SirAlextheFirst: "So, wait. My character was created because Gorth's little sister got bored and horny?"
Adm H Sopko: Eh?
SirAlextheFirst: Random old quotes
Adm H Sopko: Ohooo
Adm H Sopko: So are you done slamming your work?
SirAlextheFirst: Yeah
Adm H Sopko: Hoo-ray
Adm H Sopko: I hope I'm not just making an ass of myself worrying about passports and such...
SirAlextheFirst: Now who's slamming their work? :P
Adm H Sopko: Well no, I just assumed everything. I never even asked you if passports exist
