[18:43:18] er... 01[18:43:30] Or stalagmites [18:44:16] wysiwyg 06[18:44:40] * Aurora nods [18:44:42] I'm gonna say that there are stalagtites you can try to lasso a rope around 01[18:44:53] And we're trying to get to the blue area? [18:45:32] you can't expressly see where you're going right then 01[18:45:41] k [18:45:48] Par seems to be going somewhere, but you don't know his reasons for heading in one direction over another [18:46:30] Okay, another round of stealth checks [18:46:44] 1d20+9 Par [18:46:44] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+9: 11 +9 = 20 01[18:46:47] 1d20+4 [18:46:48] Aurora rolls 1D20+4: 17 +4 = 21 01[18:46:50] o.o [18:46:51] 1d20+6 Mauz [18:46:51] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+6: 17 +6 = 23 [18:47:12] 1d20+7 Temper [18:47:12] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+7: 8 +7 = 15 [18:47:18] 1d20+5 [18:47:18] Marianysa rolls 1D20+5: 11 +5 = 16 [18:47:36] We have enough successes [18:47:47] (We're looking for 4 out of 6 successes) [18:47:51] (For each check) 06[18:47:52] * Aurora nods [18:47:56] Everyone move 2 01[18:48:15] MOv'd 01[18:48:41] If we alert the bullette, someone shoot the exclamation mark. 01[18:48:43] That'll stun it.

I forgot I leveled these guys. The DC was higher than I thought. [18:54:10] Memory of a thousand lifetimes needed here? [18:54:15] The last round still needed Phanos's check to see if you passed. But we'll just handwave. [18:54:20] No yours succeeded [18:54:25] ok [18:54:36] Still waiting on Mari's [18:54:42] Yon, you still with us?

D: 01[18:58:54] Temper's taking a weird path [18:59:29] Temper's moving around the difficult terrain and guarding the group's flank [18:59:42] If you don't you have to fight the bulettes for the XP 01[19:00:22] Aah [19:00:45] New check! [19:00:51] 1d20+7 temper [19:00:52] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+7: 19 +7 = 26 [19:00:52] 1d20+5 [19:00:53] Marianysa rolls 1D20+5: 4 +5 = 9 01[19:00:54] So should we choose to fight the bulettes for the right for experience points, or instead be the bulettes? 01[19:00:56] 1d20+4 [19:00:57] Aurora rolls 1D20+4: 11 +4 = 15 [19:01:01] D: [19:01:02] 1d20+6 mauz [19:01:02] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+6: 19 +6 = 25 [19:01:24] If you make it through you get XP as if you defeated them [19:01:40] Same XP either way [19:01:44] Take THAT, grognards. [19:01:49] haha [19:02:11] 1d20+9 Par [19:02:11] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+9: 18 +9 = 27 [19:02:21] Phanos? [19:02:44] 1d20+4 [19:02:44] Phanos rolls 1D20+4: 7 +4 = 11 [19:02:48] Memory [19:02:50] fffff [19:03:04] roll it. d8 or d6? [19:03:04] 1d8 [19:03:04] Phanos rolls 1D8: 4 [19:03:10] Ahem. [19:03:13] Roll init. [19:03:16] :/ [19:03:22] (2 under) 01[19:03:26] 1d20+5 [19:03:27] Aurora rolls 1D20+5: 11 +5 = 16 [19:03:29] 1d20+5 [19:03:29] Marianysa rolls 1D20+5: 18 +5 = 23 01[19:03:43] Maybe we can evade them. :( [19:03:44] 1d20+13 [19:03:44] Phanos rolls 1D20+13: 4 +13 = 17 [19:05:13] 1d20+6 [19:05:13] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+6: 3 +6 = 9 [19:05:15] maux [19:05:23] 1d20+9 temper [19:05:23] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+9: 2 +9 = 11 [19:05:34] 1d20+11 par [19:05:34] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+11: 3 +11 = 14 [19:06:24] 3x1d20 [19:06:25] NovaSeaker rolls 3x1D20: 19 19 2 = 40 [19:12:24] That doesn't look like a landshark. :| [19:13:11] Close burst 2 [19:13:19] hits everyone [19:13:28] 1d20+14 vs AC [19:13:28] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+14: 4 +14 = 18 [19:13:44] clockwise starting with Par [19:13:46] That was Par's [19:13:51] Phanos: [19:13:53] 1d20+14 vs AC [19:13:53] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+14: 6 +14 = 20 [19:13:57] Mari [19:13:59] 1d20+14 vs AC [19:13:59] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+14: 11 +14 = 25 [19:14:03] Mauz [19:14:05] 1d20+14 vs AC [19:14:05] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+14: 18 +14 = 32 [19:14:06] Miss [19:14:10] Aurora [19:14:11] 1d20+14 vs AC [19:14:11] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+14: 19 +14 = 33 [19:14:16] Temper [19:14:17] That's a miss on me! [19:14:17] 1d20+14 vs AC [19:14:18] NovaSeaker rolls 1D20+14: 11 +14 = 25 [19:14:32] And shezna gets hit cause she's a lump 01[19:15:10] Keep us updated on her condition [19:15:30] She's fine [19:15:40] She can take more than any single one of you [19:16:17] okay so it hits Mauz, Aurora [19:16:25] 1d6+7 [19:16:25] NovaSeaker rolls 1D6+7: 4 +7 = 11 [19:16:34] 11 damage [19:18:00] Is just the one visible? 01[19:18:22] These things burrow, so if you can't reach one, try to ready an action [19:18:36] This one surfaced, yeah [19:18:52] [Mari's Turn] [19:19:10] k [19:19:57] Aegis, aggravting force. [19:20:15] kayo [19:20:23] 1d20+16 [19:20:23] Marianysa rolls 1D20+16: 10 +16 = 26 [19:21:46] vs AC [19:22:21] miss 03[19:25:22] * Phanos is now known as LostInTangents 02[19:25:27] * LostInTangents (rustangel@ip-115-213.atvci.net) Quit (Quit: I am not ignorant, I am intelligent. I'm not an ape, I am the way, I am the truth. I am religion, I am politics, I am a psychoanalyst, I'm an inkblot shaped like Zeus) [19:25:32] this one surfaces normally and just bites Aurora 01[19:25:59] What just happened with Rusty? [19:26:04] Hey, it's Bulette Bill! [19:26:12] He's left the game. 01[19:26:12] heee [19:26:22] ...for tonight? 01[19:26:22] What? Why? [19:26:24] Or... [19:26:28] Permanently, as far as I'm concerned, unless the first thing he does is apologize when he comes back. 01[19:26:50] What happened? [19:26:55] He messages me with some annoying comment about how Phanos "meant" to fail his stealth check. [19:27:01] And I basically called bullshit. [19:28:10] And I didn't do it angrily or anything, but I was just like "that's bullshit. He was "practicing stealth" in a real live situation instead of teleporting? You just forgot he could teleport. Would Phanos really have gambled with his friends' saftey just to get some "practice"?" 01[19:28:46] Maybe I'm pretty sensitive, but just that sounds kinda angry to me [19:29:05] Is sounds like a disagreeing opinion. 03[19:29:09] * RowynAway (rowyn2001@66.201.146.49) has joined #Exalted 01[19:29:12] Hi Rowyn [19:29:16] I can disagree and not be angry 03[19:29:19] * RowynAway is now known as Rowyn [19:30:10] So...we have two players right now? [19:30:17] *sigh* Yeah. [19:30:28] This won't work tonight 01[19:30:42] I think that's a bit of a drastic reason to kick someone out of the game. [19:30:55] Hmm? [19:31:22] Also, I witnessed my first game of Dominion with Black Market in play. [19:31:24] I think he's saying Rusty quit because of Nova calling bullshit [19:31:32] I did not kick him out of the game. [19:31:33] He left 01[19:31:35] Oh. 01[19:31:37] Geez. [19:31:37] To which someone happened to get both Sea Hag and Witch. 01[19:31:40] Rowyn: How is it? 01[19:31:41] ... oh dear [19:31:46] Yeaaaah [19:31:50] It was pretty brutal [19:31:57] I take back my permanently leaving comment though. [19:32:07] I shouldn't throw stones when I live in a glass house. 06[19:32:54] * Aurora nods [19:32:59] I really wasn't trying to anger him or anything. I was just trying to say that someone going "I meant to do that" when the blunder and *actually meaning it* is really annoying. [19:33:23] I mean I suppose it's not so bad, because it's a slow build and you're only going to get one Black Market card from it, unlike stocking up on multitude cards. 01[19:33:30] Yeah. If you make a mistake, just admit it. 06[19:34:04] * NovaSeaker nods. [19:34:18] Jesus fucking Christ, Gears of War 2 01[19:34:23] Still... this is kinda going to put a damper on tonight. We should make plans. 01[19:34:35] Hey Charles, I have a picture for you [19:34:38] if DH was here we could continue 01[19:34:41] http://9gag.com/photo/14262_540.jpg [19:34:48] I wonder what genius decided to combine an organic level with a drastic and shitty change in gameplay 01[19:35:01] Organic as in made of meat? [19:35:02] Organic level? [19:35:07] But I can't run 2/3rds the party. 01[19:35:13] yeah :/ [19:35:24] Yeah, you get eaten by the giant penis-worm that's penetrating the countrysid [19:35:27] Hey, Dem, Yon, if you want, we can just have Mari and Aurora fight on bulette? [19:35:32] 2 on 1? [19:35:37] Hehe. He said penetrating. 01[19:35:42] Ahahhahahaha [19:35:44] So you're fighting to try and find its heart (in its digestive tract (???)) 01[19:35:49] Hm. [19:35:53] Uh. Well... [19:36:01] And there are 'digestive teeth' which art as giant smashy bullshit [19:36:20] And in Gears of War, you manuver like a fucking rhinocerous 01[19:36:55] I'd be okay with that for just tonight, I guess, if the difficulty scale is alright. [19:36:56] Dem: That's awesome [19:36:59] I don't really feel right about that, honestly 01[19:37:00] I love that cat [19:37:16] Okay 06[19:37:20] * Aurora nods [19:37:20] I just decided to quit Gears of War 2 then and there [19:37:35] Sorry I couldn't keep my mouth shut, guys :/ 01[19:37:38] I guess that's what happens when Gears of War 2 allows you to penetrate the penis. [19:37:59] I'd have more fun if it was co-op, except that might allow twice as many chances to die on this shit 01[19:38:00] Nova: HUg. :( [19:38:00] So what was the gameplay change? [19:38:18] Rowyn: Going from a shooter to a bullshit instadeath obstacle course [19:38:32] ... [19:38:35] So wait... 01[19:38:45] ... so it's the Turbo Tunnels? [19:38:48] It's diving down the digestive tract on rails? [19:39:06] No, you're trundling around on door, through this digestive tract [19:39:10] Foot, not door 01[19:39:20] hm. [19:39:24] Trundling around on doors would be awesome. 01[19:39:28] Hey Nova, wanna learn a cool new card game? :| [19:39:36] Rip it off by its hinges and tie them to your feet. [19:39:49] Well, given how Gears controls, that's only one step removed from the bullshit snowshoe movement you currently have [19:39:52] Dem: You're right, Agricola is an awesome card game! 01[19:39:53] What, like Sonic did to that chopper? [19:39:53] :D [19:39:56] Not right now Dem @_@ [19:40:11] Still doing lots of overtime. 01[19:40:24] Hey Nova, wanna ... umm... learn a cool new.. .... bard... game? 01[19:41:06] Also, I am almost DONE downloading the entire Haiti thing [19:41:07] I think Gears of War 2's spent entirely too much time in holes for me. 01[19:41:13] I had to get it one thing at a time. [19:41:23] Like, the major reason to play the game is the beautiful urban environments [19:41:24] Does the bard game involve lutes and drinking? [19:41:39] So Gears of War 2 puts you in THREE KINDS OF HOLE [19:41:48] (Caves, sinkholes, worm foodholes) [19:42:11] Maybe I just played this game a year and a half too late [19:42:23] Is it at least a beautifully rendered worm foodhole? 01[19:42:29] ... I wonder how commonly known Io is. Since it seems to me that like, not necessarily everyone in D&D believes that Bahamut and Tiamat were split from Io [19:42:52] Dragonborn believe they come from Io [19:43:05] So areas with dragonborn..ic? dragonbornian? 06[19:43:05] * Aurora nods 01[19:43:17] ... man. 01[19:43:22] That's a weird thing you discovered, Nova [19:43:25] Yeah, but I imagine not many people other than dragonborn care about what dragonborn believe, given how they were apparently legislated against in Nerath (???) [19:43:26] ...yeah 03[19:43:28] * Marianysa is now known as Yon [19:43:31] I'm not sure what to do with it 01[19:43:33] There's NO WAY to ... something-ize it [19:43:41] Dragon-born-again. [19:43:47] Evangelical Dragons are the worst. :/ [19:43:56] I think Dragonborn is its own adjective form [19:44:02] Arkhosian would be the best thing I can think of. [19:44:11] Ah, true 01[19:44:15] Being its own adjective form would probably make sense. [19:44:19] Rowyn: The best I've ever seen, but given how fucking terrible organic levels usually are, that's not saying much [19:44:40] I'm trying to think of a game that did it right. [19:44:43] I'm *really* trying. 01[19:44:44] Contra? [19:44:51] If I ever start a video game company, it's going to be my policy that if anyone ever suggests putting in an organic level, I'm going to fire them and fuck their wife. [19:44:56] I'm trying to think of a game that did it right. [19:44:59] Ares with dragonborn influence might have folktales and stuff about Io, and archeologists studying Arkhosia might know who Io is through ancient texts. 06[19:45:04] * Aurora nods 01[19:45:09] Does Eve know who Io is? :| [19:45:14] Oh, I know. [19:45:14] Nope 01[19:45:19] Because I like the idea of Eve and Shavozama actually triyng to interact [19:45:21] It's totally going to be part of their contract [19:45:21] Actually [19:45:23] Tales of Monkey Island did organic levels right. :V 01[19:45:44] And given how Eve reacted to the concept of a being greater than Bahamut, that's gotta be hilarious [19:45:46] She might, if the church of Bahamut includes a "creation myth" for Bahamut. 01[19:45:49] Oh! 01[19:45:53] Mario and Luigi did an okay job 01[19:45:58] The newest one 01[19:46:11] Though those aren't really "levels" [19:46:36] Shavozama and Eve interacting would be pretty amusing. [19:46:47] Though I don't think Eve even knows what a dragonborn IS. 01[19:46:57] I know what she thinks they are 01[19:46:59] GIANT KOBOLDS [19:47:06] Exactly :D [19:47:20] (hence the amusing) [19:47:27] Section M Subsection A: On The Inclusion of Bullshit Organic Levels. If the undersigned chooses to suggest the inclusion of a bullshit organic level, Goblin Society Incorporated (hereafter referred to as Lothario) reserves the right to immediately terminate the undersigned's employment and thereafter engage in coitus with there with (hereafter referred to as 'my new girlfriend') [19:47:51] Seriously. Legally binding 01[19:48:47] I like the idea of kobolds juts constantly getting bigger the older they get [19:49:24] Like real dragons? [19:49:31] I miss Unforgotten Realms. :( [19:49:35] Well, the kobold chief in Ivorgard was about give feet tall 01[19:49:39] Do they juts get huger? [19:49:42] *five 01[19:49:44] What's Unforgotten Realms? [19:49:50] Dem, Yon, what did you think of the quasi-skill challenge with stealth checks? 01[19:50:17] It was a pretty interesting experiment, and I'm glad to see you experimenting with that stuff [19:50:19] Ivorgard? You mean Horbek's Glory, right? [19:50:37] Dem: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/unforgotten-realms [19:51:01] Yeah 01[19:51:21] Charles: General summary of the group skill challenge. 01[19:51:34] We all roll stealth. If half of us make it, it counts as a success [19:51:42] more than half 01[19:51:44] Ah [19:51:46] Yeah, I've seen that suggested before. [19:51:52] yeah, I've used ti before 06[19:51:56] * Aurora nods [19:52:12] But since I took the time to make the map, I wanted to make you guys use it even if you bypassed the encounter 01[19:52:19] heh [19:52:21] So I enforced the stealth rules more accurately 01[19:52:48] My questiona bout the stalagmites was to like... try to tie rope on two ends, then try a different kind of check to try to get across, staying on the rope. [19:52:51] Dem, you wanna try Campaign Manager with text and the card sets I made? 01[19:53:04] Since I have a ... oh. My athletics is worse than Stealth. 01[19:53:11] Hm. [19:53:21] Dem: I figured, but I couldn't figure out how you'd do that and not land hard after the swing, or something. 01[19:53:37] How long's it take to play? [19:53:39] Acrobatics would do that in my mind [19:53:47] About 30-45 minutes with the real pieces 01[19:53:48] Leaning against, currently, since it's a little late [19:53:50] Ah, yeah, I'd let that work 01[19:54:19] Nova: I imagined that it'd involve stepping directly on the stalagmite base . 01[19:54:23] I didn't imagine like, swinging [19:54:27] Acrobatics and Athletics REALLY need to be rolled into the same skill, I think 01[19:54:29] More making a tightrope-ish thing [19:54:46] I was about to just tell you "no. I don't see how it'd work", but then I reminded myself "never say no" and mentioned the stalagtites. [19:55:04] Just because they're supposed to do different things, and the utility of acrobatics is pretty limited, but people who get it don't want to do some shit with it that's specifically athletics. 01[19:55:08] I think "Don't say no" is a pretty cool GM tip [19:55:14] Yeah [19:55:18] Dem: Would you be interested in playing until you get tired or whatever? [19:55:24] I'm trying harder to remember it [19:55:28] I think everyone should read Robin's Laws if they run a game 01[19:55:56] At the moment, I kinda wnat to head back to the desktop after I finish tehse downlkoads and see about splitting up the avis with virtualdub. Or making another post to the tech support fort. [19:56:04] I think a single physical skill thats either Str OR Dex based would be nice. [19:56:13] Phsyical movement skill, that is. 01[19:56:14] Posts have been made after my last questions, though 01[19:56:37] So maybe they're tired of me [19:56:43] Or keep Acrobatics and Athletics seperate, but specifically let Jump checks be made with both. 01[19:57:11] Yeah 01[19:57:15] Jump is a tricky one [19:57:18] Cause jumping seems to me to be where people (including myself) most want to substitute Acrobatics for.
