Session Start: Fri Dec 29 18:25:17 2006 Session Ident: #Aeoth [18:25:17] * Now talking in #Aeoth [18:25:17] * Topic is 'Aeoth starts up again tonight! (December 22nd)' [18:25:17] * Set by Zegon on Fri Dec 22 17:20:56 [18:25:46] * Hank (chamelaeon@ip68-229-190-130.om.om.cox.net) has joined #Aeoth [18:28:38] suddenly, people! [18:40:32] Ah! [18:41:36] Hmmm... [18:41:57] Hide nor hair of Robin or CCD, right? [18:44:32] Unfortunately. [18:44:37] Though CCD's in the middle of packing. [18:44:58] Okay. [18:46:20] I'll make this fairly brief then. Everyone made it out of the dungeon last session, almost everyone paying in gold. Hank and Lucy followed Elmani's lead and were able to get out through a disguise, paying 25 gold each to Elmani for his (rather good) acting job and connections. [18:46:39] * CCD (CCD@216-229-75-230-cablemodem-roll.fidnet.com) has joined #Aeoth [18:46:50] * CCD is now known as Leo [18:46:55] Be sure to mark that off your sheet. Clarissa and the others got out after Leo shouted and ended up paying some rogues 100 gp per head. [18:47:28] Elijah has not been seen nor heard of since the fight, and Khrosk trudged through the sewers back to the temple, eventually meeting you guys later. [18:49:41] I don't plan on having an actual session, per se, but more about rewards for completing the adventure and what you'll be doing in your downtime. [18:50:08] I know most of you are either busy packing, tired, or otherwise have other things on your mind. [18:50:28] Ah. Good good. [18:50:49] I mean..er... Sorry! I like game! [18:52:51] * Zegon snerks. [18:52:56] I HOPE you like game. [18:56:34] Anyways, the long and short of it is, you get back, turn in the cloak (or at least, I hope Leo turns in the cloak) and report any findings you would like to report, or at least describe how you found it. Marke is relived about the safe retrieval and you're each given 750 gp each for your trouble. Additionally, you're in better standing with both churches of Olidamara and Pelor, and gain 1,000 exp for finishing the quest (que fanfare). [18:58:19] Finally, you can each have one magic item made of your choice, provided it can a) be made by a cleric of Pelor and b) you provide the exp and gp costs. If an item requires arcane casting, or casting not normally accessable to a cleric of pelor, you can always see about procuring the required services elsewhere. [18:58:59] The item must be standard d20 stock. It can be an augmentation to an existing magic item, if you wish. [18:59:07] Of course, some items are a no-go. [18:59:26] (Thought bottle, Nightstick, cheeseitems to gain combat arts, I'm looking at you) [18:59:48] ( Hey, nothing wrong with the 3000gp technique items. -_- ) [19:01:43] ( I'll hold off on magic item for time being ) [19:01:45] Either way, to get the information Kardos requested, they will take a while to look through records and get other reports from surrounding temples. You do have access to the temple's library if you wish. Also, it would be wise for you to use the downtime to train, study, or otherwise find information. [19:01:59] Oh, note that the item can only be crafted at this city. [19:02:15] And the CL limit on the item is level 10. [19:02:52] ( Well, it's not like an Evil Empire is going to step in and blow it up the instant we leave. Not like some games I could mention. ) [19:03:01] This is true. [19:07:10] I'll probably be training and trying to find info. [19:08:06] Zeg: And my item? [19:09:14] The scribbly thing? [19:09:41] Scribbly? [19:09:47] You can have it made, I'd just like to make a note that you cannot have more than one active at a time and you cannot do item creation while it is in use. You can still do spell research, though. [19:10:08] Or other activites. [19:10:17] * NinjaDebugger nods. [19:10:18] Fine with me. [19:10:31] I can provide the Presto required myself. [19:10:37] * NinjaDebugger marks off 875 GP and 70 XP [19:10:54] Basically, I don't want you doubling your downtime for item creation. [19:10:57] Which... I think is reasonable. [19:11:48] Given that I don't have any other item creation abilities, and don't plan to get any, I don't think it'll be a problem. Unless I somehow got more quills. [19:11:49] o/~ [19:12:11] Regardless, one quill is enough for me. [19:13:13] Is there a magic item that automatically makes my enemy's women lamenting without having to deal with taht whole "drive them before me" bit? [19:13:36] Yes. [19:13:45] But it rqeuires Perform(Drums) [19:13:59] And, incidentally, it also drives your enemies before you. [19:14:19] Hooray? [19:15:43] Drums of Panic, right? [19:16:42] So. [19:16:47] What are you doing in your downtime? [19:17:01] Training and trying to help out Kardos with information finding. [19:17:06] ... what information is this again? ^^; [19:17:25] To be honest, Lucy would probably be more of a hinderance than a help in info finding. [19:17:38] He's trying to find information about his sword. [19:17:43] Aah [19:17:53] Probably just training and providing encouragement, then [19:18:28] Leo is encouraged by Marke to travel with the group, at least for a while, to see what this sword pans out into. [19:18:42] Also to get some worldly experience. [19:18:50] Of which he seems to, unfortunately, be lacking. [19:19:00] Lucy: what type of training? [19:19:22] I'm thinking fighting, riding, or general fitness. [19:21:20] Take two free ranks spread between either Riding, Jumping, Swiming, Climb, Knowledge (Weapons), or Perform (Weapon Drill). If placed in weapons or weapon drill, they're still a full rank. [19:21:35] :O [19:21:45] ND: What's Clarissa doing? [19:21:54] And what are Hank and Leo doing? [19:22:55] Oh. [19:23:02] Those ranks can NOT go over your level limit. [19:23:13] Ah [19:23:49] Well, Ride and Swim are maxed. [19:23:54] So is Jump [19:24:07] So Climb, Knowledge(weapons), or Perform(Weapon drill) [19:24:07] hrm... sorry [19:24:11] Clarissa is ransacking the library as regards Kardos' sword, those spells she's working on for later, while the scroll scribes a spell a day. And when she goes out to get food, she'll keep an eye out for Elijah. [19:24:12] distracted. [19:24:27] Lucy: I'd go with Climb or K:Weapons [19:24:46] Well, i just scrolled up, and Climb is maxed too [19:24:49] Leo would be meditating and trying to find in himself to apply the lessons he knows outside, also trying to get the guilt of the slums out of his system. [19:24:51] So, Knowledge(Weapons) [19:25:08] Clarissa gains two ranks in any knowledge skill except knowledge: local, nature, or dungeoneeing, of course not allowed to go over her limit. [19:25:23] What did you mean by "A Full rank"? [19:25:39] Not halved for cross-class? [19:26:12] added [19:26:31] If you purchased them as normal level ups, you'd get half a rank. [19:26:37] Instead, you're getting a full rank. [19:26:49] Yay. [19:26:54] +2 to KNowledge (Weapons) [19:27:06] Actually... [19:27:06] KNowledge is based on Int, right? [19:27:07] * NinjaDebugger hrrrrrrms. [19:27:10] Lucy: Yes. [19:27:12] No, don't make that K:Weapons. [19:27:15] Make that Martial Lore. [19:27:20] Still int? [19:27:21] It's basically the same thing, really. [19:27:22] Yeah. [19:27:32] Martial Lore is spellcraft for fighters. [19:27:34] essentially [19:27:37] Yeah. [19:27:45] It helps you determine opponent's fighting styles. [19:27:45] Hmm... a knowledge skill. [19:28:26] So lucy can tell if it's over nine thousand [19:28:35] Eventually, yes. [19:28:49] This sounds like an awesome skill and I wish I was aware of its existence earlier. :D [19:29:17] What does figuring out a fighting style do? [19:30:06] Tells you what technique they just hit you with, at its most basic level. [19:30:18] Get it high enough, and you can watch them do a single tech and know every single tech they have. [19:30:26] ah [19:30:46] So if they Cleave you, you can figure it out and it's useful [19:30:56] Leo gains two skill points to spend on skills: concentration, Sense Motive, listen, knowledge: religion, knowledge: the planes, decipher script, or heal. [19:31:01] No, it pertains to martial maneuvers. [19:31:09] Which you'll start learning at level 9 [19:31:35] Ah? [19:31:54] We're gonna put you in a more advanced class at that point. ~_^ [19:32:15] jah [19:32:54] oooh [19:33:11] Hooray. Lucy will be an advanced Dungeons and DRagons cahracter [19:33:31] She's better! She's 3.5e! [19:35:21] Yaaaay [19:39:57] :V [19:39:58] Hm... [19:40:08] WHat're those maneuvers like? [19:40:48] Pick your fighting anime of choice. [19:40:52] It's -just like that- [19:41:42] You get stuff like teleports, flying kicks, fire blasts, hits faster than you can see... [19:41:58] And you can get more attacks in a single round than god. [19:42:14] Yes, since God isn't a martial adept. [19:42:26] Granted, God will still smite you dead. c.c [19:42:32] wow [19:43:38] ... but how do you teleport through Sheer Fighting Spirit? ?_? [19:43:45] !magic. [19:44:32] ooh [19:46:16] Speed, Dem. [19:46:20] And or magic. [19:46:28] The teleports have the [Supernatural] tag [19:46:35] so you can't use them in an AMF [19:47:54] Lucy: I suggest that you save up 4500 GP and get yourself a +1 Animated Large Shield. [19:51:29] Okay, that's about all for the session, unfortunately. No Kardos here makes it kinda hard for me to continue. [19:51:52] Animated does what/ [19:52:22] Makes the shield operate on its own without needing you to hold it. [19:52:31] Therefore, shield + 2-handed axe. [19:52:39] * Leo is now known as CCD [19:53:07] Ya. [19:53:14] Any questions before I AFK? I *do* intend to run next week. [19:53:15] at its very most basic, it gives you +3 AC for no penalty. [19:53:23] (ACP) [19:53:25] Zeg: Nein. [19:54:56] Oooh. [19:55:02] So it's like an ioun stone [19:56:01] Yes. [19:56:07] Only it's gigantic, metal, and much harder to destroy. [19:57:37] aah [19:57:44] Hm... what can I do for Thundar? [19:58:02] I ... hm. My sheet doesn't mention the horse shoes. [19:58:08] Did I go for horse shoes? ?_? [19:58:10] I remmeber doing so [19:59:35] I think you did. [19:59:40] Horseshoes of Speed [19:59:43] for great double speed [20:01:05] and NOW robin is here [20:07:03] * Robin (YU-Mei@host-206-54-194-142.entouch.net) has joined #Aeoth [20:07:08] ( >.> <.< ) [20:07:19] Robin [20:07:23] where were you? ._. [20:07:33] Friend from out of town came over to visit unexpectedly. [20:07:38] ah [20:07:42] ( Does 19420 [20:07:47] exp look appropriate? [20:07:52] Dem: Yes. [20:07:59] Yay [20:08:03] Robin robin robin [20:08:09] What's Kardos doing? [20:08:20] Possibly. [20:08:28] * NinjaDebugger sets up to copy pasta for Robin. [20:08:31] Kardos is seeing what the clerics could learn about his sword. [20:09:17] What else is he doing? [20:13:03] That's it. Learning about his sword is a lot like learning about his parents. [20:15:28] Maybe his mom was a sword. :O [20:16:49] Unlikely. [20:17:45] Why? Swords can have children. [20:21:47] It would be totally hot if we foudn the Anvil of Despair and it turned out his sword -was- his mother. =P [20:21:58] Anvil of Despair? [20:22:55] Evil artifact from L5R. Chain somebody to it, then forge a weapon. The chained person's soul is used to empower the weapon. [20:23:02] Oh. [20:23:21] It's one of the few artifacts used to make other artifacts. [20:23:35] In fact, that's pretty much its only power. [20:23:47] Feed it a powerful enough soul, with a good enough smith making the blade, and you can make an artifact. [20:23:53] An -evil- artifact, to be sure, but an artifact. [20:24:55] ( Thus far, five artifact quality items have been forged on it, in about 700 years. The four bloodswords and Kokujin's Daisho. ) [20:25:36] ( The four bloodswords being Ambition, Judgment, Revenge, and Passion. ) [20:26:33] ... if Kardos' mom is a sword, maybe the sword is his brother. :O [20:26:40] Abandoned lost childrens. [20:27:28] I think it would be damn cool if Kardos' sword were empowered by sacrificing children. =P [20:29:08] You'd think it'd be cool if Kardos' sword were empowered by kitten girl daipers. >.< [20:29:15] No. [20:29:19] Kitten Girls maybe. [20:29:23] But not kitten girl diapers. [20:30:29] I want to see a sword empowered by a series of magnets. [20:31:54] What're the stats on that sword, anyway? [20:33:07] * NinjaDebugger shrugs. [20:33:08] Dunno. [20:33:10] Don't want to know. [20:33:15] * NinjaDebugger is now known as SleepDebugger [20:33:16] Night, all. [20:35:38] 'Night, ND. [20:36:40] night ND [20:36:51] * Disconnected Session Close: Fri Dec 29 20:36:52 2006
