Start of #Exalted buffer: Mon Jul 14 20:42:53 2008 [16:10:53] * Yonjuuni (a@wnpgmb014vw-ad05-52-2.dynamic.mts.net) has joined #Exalted [16:10:54] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Yonjuuni [16:11:20] Hooray, now we're just waiting on Rusty. [16:11:53] I'm now chilling at my parents place. Free food, central air, no roommate. And they're leaving for europe in minutes. [16:12:02] * Demota buys a copy of City of Stormreach at Overstock.com for $18 [16:12:07] Awesome [16:12:11] Oh, nice [16:12:30] Cha: Is there a document for the loot we got? [16:12:53] It should be in the party log. [16:12:57] Or in the logs Dem keeps. [16:13:12] I don't think I have access to the party log [16:13:12] Check your google docs [16:13:23] I shared it with everyone [16:13:25] Oh there it is [16:13:32] By the way, nova, did Lee ever say why he wasn't around last sessoin? [16:13:58] Oh yeah he told me about that [16:14:19] I was.... just too busy being self absorb to tell anyone :/ [16:14:21] Sorry [16:15:02] http://www.ebates.com/product/City_of_Stormreach-1170753.htm?navigation_id=10143 [16:16:58] We completed a quest? [16:17:39] I'm here [16:17:46] was just in another window [16:19:45] Alright [16:20:13] so how much do we get from the wyrmgear fight? [16:20:18] Alright, so why couldn't Lee make it to the session? [16:20:22] Rusty: Check the party log [16:20:28] It's in your Shared google docs [16:20:52] I'm looking at it. only has up to session 3 [16:21:22] ... eugh [16:21:28] I asked people three times to help me out with that [16:21:38] one moment [16:22:38] Wait, was the axe magic too? [16:23:07] [21:39:44] * His body's turned to ash, leaving only his equipment. His strange brass mask lies on top of the [16:23:07] pile, along with a spear and a suit of hide armor with metallic embellishments. Oddly, among the dust, there's what looks [16:23:07] like an altered holy symbol of Erathis, the gear and starburst design doubled. [16:23:07] [21:39:48] * It looks as though it was once a standard symbol, designed to be hooked onto clothing, but the [16:23:07] bottom half was constructed after the initial, proper half was made [16:23:07] [21:39:52] * In addition, a search of the altar reveals a compartment that contains what Wyrmgear must have seen [16:23:07] as his horde, consisting of a massive pile of gold and silver coins and a single cut amethyst gem [16:23:07] [21:39:59] (You've found 280gp, a garnet worth 100gp, 400 silver pieces, and the symbol's a +1 Symbol of Battle.) [16:23:07] [21:40:03] (The armor is just decorative, unfortunately) [16:23:24] Levelling Paera right now. [16:23:28] I don't remember the exact reason [16:23:59] But he did do his part to let us know that he wouldn't be able to make it [16:24:07] * Awayheart is now known as Darkheart [16:24:13] oh, the exp isn't there [16:24:15] Hey, Nova, look at the Belt of Vigor for a second. [16:24:17] we were supposed to get 500. [16:24:21] ugh [16:24:26] RARGH BLARGH [16:24:43] CHa: Yeah? Looks pretty good [16:24:58] Page 253, PHB. Does "Add X to Healing Surge value" mean "Add it to how much healing surges heal" or "Add it to how many healing surges you have?" [16:25:05] Was there a third magic item we got? [16:25:07] Value is how much it heals [16:25:12] Aah, okay. [16:26:44] I just need to pick a feat now [16:26:53] What's yoru current feat? [16:26:56] okay, I'm confused. how much xp should we have/ [16:27:30] 1000. [16:27:44] Can Init go off of Int, or is it still just Dex? :derp: [16:28:01] Yon: Dwarven armor, basket of provisions, your holy symbol [16:28:12] It's Dex only [16:28:52] Right, the basket. [16:29:49] I'm trying to decide between toughness, alertness, and harmony of Erathis. [16:30:38] What's Harmony do? [16:30:56] If 3 allies are withing 10(?) squares, one can get a +2 bonus to an attack. [16:31:03] It's a Channel Divinity [16:31:04] It's a channel divinity. If the entire party is within ten squares, I grant one a +2 to attack [16:31:09] efb [16:31:23] Huh. Not bad. [16:32:32] I'm taking lethal hunter [16:32:54] Lethal hunter is sick. [16:33:06] I think I'm going to take Harmony for now. [16:33:25] It's not like, as a cleric, I won't be able to get EVERY SINGLE FEAT I MIGHT WANT by Paragon tier. [16:33:27] Not sure which utility power to get [16:33:43] What are your options? [16:34:12] I am obviously taking cure light wounds as my utility because frankly, level 2 cleric utility prayers suck ass [16:34:29] Bonus to diplomacy, ability to take damage for someone, or zone effect which grants +1 AC [16:35:03] Second one seems like a no brainer but Eve is actually sorta bad at soaking damage. [16:35:21] Or maybe I'm just getting that impression cause I forgot she could heal herself [16:35:21] Why? [16:35:35] She has very low con for a defender [16:36:06] What is it? [16:36:19] Cause I'm trying out a multiclassing build [16:36:25] And I suffer from MAD. [16:36:46] http://demota.sandwich.net/rpg/ednd/odal/logs/odal004.txt Question, can anyone else see the line at the bottom about exp? [16:36:52] Because I've uploaded and reuploaded the file a ton of tiles [16:37:05] Yes [16:37:06] also, if anyone could help me out with keeping hte party log pudated, I'd really appreciate it. :/ [16:37:38] I'm doing logs for all of the games here, as well as running a couple of them, and keeping track of all the progress and session summaries is starting to wear me otu [16:37:51] Wierd. I wonder why it doesn't properly show up on my machine [16:39:22] Okay I'm levelled now (I think) [16:40:14] I'm leveled. [16:40:15] Also I totally forgot what MAD meant for a second and had no idea what Nova was saying. [16:40:21] Haha [16:40:45] Nova has a low tolerance for fan videos [16:41:12] That was my second thought. [16:41:25] My first was that it was some sort of ADD variant I'd not heard of. :V [16:41:34] And then finally "Ooooooh." [16:41:41] done here as well [16:41:42] Hah [16:41:53] Dem: I'd help update the log, except that I'm already doing a lot of behind the scenes bookkeeping crap just being a DM. So I'm not sure I want to take more stuff onto my plate. :/ [16:42:21] I would like to make an announcement. [16:42:32] Eve is no longer a paladin. She is a paladin ranger. [16:42:42] Thank you. THat is all. [16:42:58] So do we need a new Defender? [16:43:16] You needed a new defender ever since Nova decided he wanted to be a defender/striker hybrid. :V [16:43:25] Basically. [16:43:31] Eve is Paladin Ranger White. [16:43:36] Paera is Ranger Blue [16:43:39] not like we really wholly need a new one. [16:43:41] I think I'll be fine if I just remember to use Lay on Hands. [16:43:45] Xan is Ranger Green. [16:43:48] heh [16:43:53] Can people update the spreadsheet or did I fuck that up? [16:44:00] Paera's clearly Ranger Red. [16:44:02] People can update the spreadsheet if it is shared with them [16:44:03] Ranger Red? [16:44:09] Also, I think I'll be taking the bonus to Diplomacy utility power [16:44:10] She's a tiefling. [16:44:23] Is the spreadsheet shared with them? [16:44:34] I'm asking if they have the ability, not if it's possible. [16:44:51] Should help us if negotiation skill challenges. And for picking up ruggedly handsome types so she doesn't have to spend the night alone at the bottom of a pit trap. [16:44:53] I've just updated it [16:45:40] Alright, everyone put your values on the sheet. I'm gonna get a drink and get settled in for DMing. [16:45:56] Oh, and get IC and get in #Odal [16:45:57] Okay, so we've got White, Blue, Red, and Green. [16:46:00] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [16:46:16] away for dinner [16:46:42] I guess the basket of provisions can be Ranger Black. [16:47:08] http://kalleboo.mirror.waffleimages.com/files/26/26be4837c89dd235272e624d3dd66cd7edba4a95.jpg (9) tier [16:47:27] hahahahha [16:48:55] (I like how they just have the China star instead of Meiling) [16:50:13] Huh! You can see where other people have highlighted boxes on the spreadsheet. [16:50:19] I bet a game could be made out of this [16:50:19] * Mechazawa is now known as Xan [16:51:09] Haha [16:51:41] How do I save my changes to the spreadsheet? [16:52:02] Changes are automatically saved [16:52:34] Oh, okay then. [16:52:51] On the party log, I'd like to see summaries of sessions too to make it easier to remember. Like, details about the modrons and other little things that could make it to the wiki [16:53:41] Sorry for sounding so naggy. [16:55:29] It's alright. I think it's a good idea. [16:56:07] Jesus fuck I have no idea how to download maptools. [16:56:30] I've never even seen that extention [16:56:38] Web Start? [16:56:43] Just run it and Java will take care of it [16:56:49] You don't download it, you just run it [16:56:49] we using maptools now instead? [16:56:52] Yeah. .jnlp? What the hell. [16:56:53] Nah [16:57:13] No, I'm just using it to make pogs of new creatures so I don't need to pass images on to Dem [16:57:55] Oh wow, this is some Phoenix Wright shit on This American Life. There was this terrorism case where the defendants got convicted. Then a few years later, the case was overturned and the prosecutor was put on trial. [16:58:00] You want TokenTool, not MapTool [16:58:14] Yeah, I was referring to Maptools as the suite as a whole [16:58:16] AAh [17:01:26] How do I drag an image onto it? [17:01:38] Lemme see [17:01:49] Oh yeah, we got a potion of healing a while ago, right? [17:01:52] Who has it? [17:02:15] I would guess Eve. Or possibly Xan. [17:02:27] Charles: The big black area. [17:02:33] Just drag a picture from windows explorer into it [17:02:44] You can mousewheel to scroll in and out [17:03:00] And don't forget to set the pog to be 64 x 64 [17:07:01] back [17:07:08] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [17:07:13] hey [17:07:45] * Il_Dice (demota@c-67-188-135-127.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [17:10:27] 20xdd20 [17:10:30] 20xd20 [17:10:34] Hm. [17:10:37] 10xd20 [17:10:42] Oh, whoops [17:10:45] 20x1d20 [17:10:45] Eilenia rolls 20x1D20: 9 20 6 3 5 4 13 9 8 10 8 10 13 13 13 11 18 5 12 12 = 202 [17:11:17] 20x1d20 [17:11:17] Eilenia rolls 20x1D20: 6 15 16 6 2 18 20 3 12 3 18 5 15 9 13 15 14 16 7 10 = 223 [17:11:30] Well there goes all the high rolls for tonight [17:11:35] Hm. [17:11:48] It seems like an even distribution between the top half and the lower half... [17:12:04] Yeah [17:12:06] 20x1d20 [17:12:06] Eilenia rolls 20x1D20: 5 12 3 12 7 2 11 14 3 1 1 9 14 13 4 17 2 7 10 14 = 161 [17:12:23] That one was dildoes. [17:12:41] Still pretty even. From a top half/bottom half point of view. [17:13:00] I haven't tried to see about dividing them into quarters or smaller yet [17:13:39] * Eve_Kasnora resets daily assets! [17:13:41] * Yonjuuni is now known as Paera [17:14:02] I've decided to prepare Sleep today. [17:15:55] Damn, forgot about the session start tag [17:16:17] I think I'm jumping the gun so much cause it's been so long since I was a player in any games [17:17:13] Dang, I can't delete the Tuesday folder from my gametable pogs folder. It claims something's using it. [17:17:31] odd [17:19:37] Okay, so who has the potion? [17:20:35] Did we even divy anything up yet? [17:20:45] Besides giving me the dwarven plate [17:20:46] Nothing has been divded [17:21:35] THe only thing we've handed out is the plate and the holy symbol [17:22:50] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [17:23:32] Wait [17:23:38] it was dwarven scale, right? [17:23:47] yeah [17:23:51] oka [17:24:05] so that counts as 565 gp divied to Eve. [17:24:37] I don't really know how treasure gets divided up in general, so... [17:25:08] I'm not sure that treasure counts against gold divided. I mean, if we want to treat it like that, we can [17:26:03] I think it's meant to be for groups to decide on, wether they want magic to be gratis, or to count against magic, or to use DKP or whatever [17:26:06] Well I figure if people are using gold to buy equipment, then it already counts as if Eve spent 565 gold on armor. [17:26:47] She didn't really choose to spend it, but she got it at a higher level than would normally be available [17:27:11] That's generally how it works when you get treasure for defeating enemies. [17:27:27] Yeah [17:27:36] * Charles nods [17:27:46] But if you're getting gold than you're usualyl limited to buying magic items of up to your level, right? [17:27:52] Yeah. [17:28:26] That's just if you're making them [17:28:56] You can *buy* whatever you want, but it'll be hard as fuck to afford things harder than your level [17:29:06] Ah [17:31:59] Did we take the horses and cart with us or were we forced to leave them behind at the waypoint? [17:32:46] Diplomacy check [17:32:50] roll 1d20+9 [17:32:50] Eve_Kasnora rolls [ 1D20+9: 17 +9 = 26 ] [17:33:22] We took them with us [17:34:18] Alright, play it out. [17:40:31] the sign of Melora is common knowledge? [17:41:38] I imagine so. [17:41:59] I mean, people who aren't Catholics know about the sign of the cross. [17:42:16] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [17:42:32] Whta about other religious signs? [17:42:58] In cultures where those religions are fairly common, I imagine so. [17:43:31] I can't think of a sign of Asmodeus without imagining it just being :metal: [17:43:32] I mean, a guy in Ghana wouldn't know about Buddhist or Hindu symbols, but a guy in China probably would. And all the gods are everywhere in the World anyways. [17:43:35] Hahaha [17:51:39] whooop. [17:51:48] 1,300 miles of California is on fire. [17:52:03] Well, it'll get put out when it sinks so no worries. [17:55:19] Isn't California on fire every summer? [17:55:30] Yeah, but this one's a recordbreaker. [17:55:36] Ah [17:55:42] Wonder if you can see it from space [17:58:41] You know, it's too bad only Paera's from Odal's Fen because 'Your town's so shitty, in my plane, it's just a few hags' is a really good subtle insult. :V [17:58:55] haha [17:59:12] hahaha. [17:59:24] Well, most cities probably don't occupy the same physical space [17:59:31] You know, I realize it only makes sense to keep track of things like that, but the idea of "All time record for HOW MUCH OF THE STATE IS FUCKING ON FIRE" really amuses me. [17:59:37] Hahahahahah [17:59:43] If one phased into the World from the Shadowfell, then it'd cause problems. [17:59:49] hahaha [18:01:11] Anything my passive insight give me, Cha? [18:01:26] Or was that taking into account [18:02:20] Yeah, that was taking it into account. I figure noticing if anyone is, say, dressing down to elicit sympathy would probably be a bit harder to tell than an 18 [18:02:44] Also, I just realized how inane my description was. [18:03:08] "The richer ones sell better things, the poorer ones sell cheaper things. Thanks for taking my remedial-economics-as-D&D class, everyone." [18:04:12] hahaha [18:04:18] I was hoping for a really shabby looking one selling outrageous luxury items. :saddowns: [18:04:42] Maybe Xan could feed that full poor person to an even poorer, hungrier person [18:05:03] Do you know the total value of all the crap you've picked up so far, Dem? [18:05:12] No. [18:05:20] I was hoping someone else could help me. [18:06:39] Well, let's just say you guys liquidate your assets and we can figure out how much you made after the session to keep things going [18:06:40] I've been trying to figure out how to fix all the logs that are displaying with incorrect line breaks. :/ [18:06:44] Alright [18:07:58] lol eil [18:09:17] Haha, I just realized that I loaded up the old gametable. [18:09:33] * Eilenia puts in more notes for the party log. [18:09:37] http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=dd88vhbs_146d4qjnthq&hl=en [18:09:50] It still has Loharath about tackling the Mind Flayer down the pit on the table. [18:09:51] I can't connect to gametable. [18:09:59] I think I'm going to keep that directory. [18:10:13] Good plan [18:10:15] Share it with us later [18:10:49] Haha [18:11:01] Screen shot it [18:12:15] Wow. FF13 is coming out for the Xbox too [18:12:33] Wow [18:12:42] Wait, FF13 is gonna be like three different games [18:12:52] I said FF13. [18:12:55] Not FF13 Versus [18:13:00] Or whatever the other FF13 is titled [18:13:31] http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RockPaperShotgun/~3/335384320/ Fallout 3 stuff [18:13:57] http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/kotaku/full/~3/335327556/breaking-official-rock-band-2-tracklist-revealed Rockband 2 tracklist [18:16:06] Wow, AC/DC finally ends up in a rhythm game. Too bad it isn't Thunderstruck. :colbert: [18:16:44] Announced - POrtal: STill Alive. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3168702 [18:17:54] Wow, that's a fun track list. ...too bad it features Disturbed AND Linkin Park. [18:17:58] ... someone say something. :( [18:18:52] http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3168698 Apogee ressurection. [18:19:22] Nova, Rusty, you guys still around? [18:20:03] ...Didn't Apogee become iD at some point? Or did iD just buy a lot of their IPs? [18:20:25] I thought Apogee became 3D Realms. [18:20:52] iD's a developer, Apogee's a publisher, I think [18:20:59] Speaking of iD, they left Activision and joined EA. [18:21:04] And Apogee and iD definitely collaborated. [18:21:13] And Jack Emmert talks Champions ONline. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2008/07/14/they-are-the-champion s-jack-emmert-interview/ [18:21:19] http://www.destructoid.com/e3-08-resident-evil-5-to-be-released-on-friday-the-13th-early-2009-95162.phtm l [18:21:39] And this looks like it could be interesting, but I'm hoping it won't be too expensive. http://www.destructoid.com/e3-08-nintendo-reveals-new-accessory-the-wii-motionplus-95139.phtml [18:23:22] The horses and cart are collectively the Blue Ranger. [18:23:26] hahah [18:23:35] So, what's the decision? What's going to happen today? [18:23:48] Selling all our shit [18:24:05] And finding out how much a ferry will cost, and how much extra it'll be to ferry the cart and horses [18:24:09] Yeah [18:24:34] Also, maybe try to figure out how the Duke died if we get an opportunity [18:24:44] I thought the horses and cart were our Zord. [18:25:01] Zord? [18:25:17] Also, what the hell was with that interview, did they talk to Bizarro Jack Emmeret or something? [18:25:27] Zord. Mecha. [18:25:37] Remember Dragonzord. [18:25:45] The one that pierced monsters with its drill [18:27:32] Hahahaha, wow. So I wanted to find information on this hand gesture I've seen foxgirls doing in a few manga and drawings, and searched for 'Fox hand gesture' in Google. And I got seven pages about Fox News complaining about Obama's fist bump, and one page from a conspiracy forum reporting on Obama making an Illuminati hand gesture. [18:28:04] And the best part, when I went and looked at the picture, it was *the same hand gesture the foxgirls were using*. [18:28:45] Aaaaaahahahaahahahaahhaaha [18:29:08] So Obama is actually secretly a Kitsune? [18:29:21] hahahaha [18:29:31] an illumnati kitsune [18:30:55] An illuminati kitsune attempts to become president of the united states. Get on this, Japan. :V [18:31:01] Hahaha [18:31:15] ahahah [18:31:42] Alright, so it looks like things right now are: Find out about passage on a boat, go to the duke's service, and finding out about trade with Odal's Fen. Who wants to try and do what? [18:31:53] Or you could just try going to the inn, I guess [18:32:10] Well, we don't know where or when the service will be held. [18:32:16] I figured the inn might have a posting. [18:32:45] Yeah [18:32:45] http://img7.onemanga.com/mangas/00000851/000038851/01.jpg http://atsmedia.cachefly.net/uploads/ats54188_ 050708_splitdecision3.jpg :tinfoil: [18:32:51] Anyone trained in streetwise? [18:33:15] Haaaahahahhah that's great [18:33:35] Actually, Hilary's face is the funniest part. [18:33:57] That's maybe the closest I've seen to :iamafag: in real life [18:39:15] Alright, taking the cart into the inn. http://demota.sandwich.net/cart.jpg [18:41:03] Hahaha [18:41:26] Hahhahah [18:41:28] - At St. Hill (about 30 minute walk from East Grinstead town centre) there was an open container full of documents, and a ladder giving access to it; the anons compared it to a Roadrunner trap. Or a trap from Spy vs. Spy. [18:41:42] Hahaha [18:42:19] hahaha [18:44:11] http://img134.imageshack.us/my.php?image=maxim1zn8.png Holy shit, Anonymous in Maxim? [18:45:42] I was hoping for some softcore of the hot anon protester girls, but I guess that'll do. :smith: [18:45:53] Hahhahah [18:46:05] hahaha [18:47:29] My coin purse has 0 + whatever my share of what we just sold - the cost of buying bread for the hungry was. [18:48:02] 50, plus those mods, except for bread buying. She was busy trying ot find a place to stay [18:49:30] Enough bread for a meal would be 2 sp. Enough for a day is 5. [18:50:19] We can afford the 8. [18:50:44] Maybe we cna reverse-engineer it [18:50:48] >:3 [18:51:08] http://youtube.com/watch?v=x_vaad5NZ8M Paralell Works 5 up. [18:51:33] Warning. [18:51:35] :nms: [18:51:56] Eve has lived in a swamp for who knows how long. [18:51:58] :D [18:52:22] Pungeadin. [18:53:15] so we get 50 gp each? [18:53:44] Huh? [18:53:46] Oh. No [18:53:50] My coin purse started with 50 [18:53:58] We don't know how much the mundane gear is worth [18:54:04] ah. [18:54:14] can we get a tally on that? [18:54:31] You can figure it out [18:54:31] Jesus christ. "YOUR KANCHO WILL PIERCE THE HEAVENS." [18:54:52] I'm having enough strain trying to keep up with logs. Especially now that I've got to figure out why it keeps formatting weird [18:55:25] Don't have the spare time to at the moment. [19:02:57] Is the group gonna split up, or would you rather wait until Eve finishes stabling the horses? [19:03:24] I think we're waiting. [19:03:29] Though... [19:03:35] Actually, Eve can probably stable them herself [19:04:38] Translation: Fuck if I know, [19:05:19] Eilenia, from context, has figured out that you take off their armor and disarm their bodies. [19:05:56] I figure that's fair to say, though. Odal's Fen's burial practices probably involved burying the dead in a bog outside of town, so they wouldn't be cluttering up good farming land with bones. [19:07:18] Outside of it, it likely differs according to the god. Though your knowledge of religion would probably point out that a local leader's fairly likely to worship Bahamut or Erathis, at least publically. [19:07:47] Even if he worships Sehaine or Asmodeous in private, Bahamut or Erathis are probably the socially proper gods for people in power to worship [19:09:13] Yeah [19:09:31] Possibly Kord if the societies fairly merit-based [19:09:36] society's [19:10:08] That said, your knowledge of religion probably wouldn't say how those religions do their burials, because A: It was never relevant in Odal's Fen so you won't know until you've had more world experience and B: I haven't detailed those parts of the world. [19:10:39] heh. [19:12:13] What about in Tsavarogorov? [19:14:11] In Tsavarogorov, worshippers of Bahamut are likely consecrated so they can't be raised as undead, and then put to rest in a family crypt. The procedings are likely very legalistic, and probably include recountings of pretty much everything that the person did of note, wether good or bad, with the express purpose being so that Bahamut can excuse publically exposed acts. [19:14:37] But the practical purpose being to shame their living relatives into behaving better than they did., [19:14:54] I have no idea how they'd do it in the Feywild. [19:15:25] Eladrin probably have cairns and burial mounds like celtic kings. [19:15:47] With effigies of things they'll need for their afterlife, as well as their best possessions, buried with them. [19:16:00] The mound of an eladrin king would probably be a bitchin' dungeon if pulled off right. [19:16:06] Oooo [19:20:19] Was that in response to Tsavarogorovian funerary practices, or the idea of a undead/fey dungeon full of ancient Eladrin prizes? [19:20:41] undead/fey dungeon [19:21:24] Tsavarogorovian funerary practices were about what I expected. An unaligned society pretending to be a LG one. [19:21:36] Imma try an Insight Check and see what that was about [19:21:37] 1d20+3 [19:21:38] Eilenia rolls 1D20+3: 20 +3 = 23 [19:21:43] Woot! [19:21:58] How long does it take me to meet up with them? [19:24:22] About now. [19:30:31] Are people approaching the casket? [19:30:47] * Paera changes topic to '#Exalted: You relieved yourself. Your condition became "Bringing booblessness from the land of no boobs"| Stormreach: Delayed indefinately | Kobold Hall Sunday: Start on July 13 | Odal's Fen: Everyone is now level 2' [19:30:54] I love Slayers. [19:31:05] Oh, awesome. Is the new series subbed? [19:31:08] Nova: Yeah. +1 from Charging, and I'm gonna Power Attack it [19:31:10] eh. sure, why not? [19:31:26] Yeah, the first two eps have been subbed. [19:31:46] I'll grab them and pass them over [19:31:49] The actual mourners in the cathedral are just praying, and there's a guard around the casket. But they could have already gone up, with the guard there for obvious reasons [19:31:53] Awesome, thanks [19:31:58] insight for not spooking the guards? [19:32:02] And yeah, I'm not stepping up to the casket. [19:32:22] I think that's more of a diplomacy thing. [19:32:26] Is that stealth, or a nonverbal Diplomacy check? [19:32:26] Proper protocol and all [19:32:43] Alrighty [19:32:45] 1d20+8 [19:32:45] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+8: 16 +8 = 24 [19:32:57] Alright, you pull it off. [19:32:59] that's actually 25 [19:33:01] Okay [19:33:17] Making a Heal check to see if I notice anything about the cause of death [19:33:28] probably'll have a penalty since I can't do a full inspection [19:33:37] 1d20+8 [19:33:38] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+8: 1 +8 = 9 [19:33:39] Hey, I just realized something. Can Stealth be done on *any* actio? [19:33:46] WOOO [19:33:47] Welp, you don't know what the shit [19:33:49] Almost any action [19:33:51] :( [19:33:54] It's certainly a corpse. [19:33:55] You should have taken ten [19:33:59] Or spend an AP and redo it? [19:34:02] I forgot about taking ten. [19:34:05] I dunno how that works though [19:34:09] AP just gives another action [19:34:15] I don't know I failed. [19:34:16] In combat. [19:34:25] It also doesn't seem to have the marks of any disease you've ever seen [19:34:34] Or rather, I "know" that I can't figure anything out like this. [19:34:38] heh [19:34:58] I wonder how you can tell what an eladrin is looking at [19:36:13] The Platinum Church is really ostintatious, but it was worth every penny. [19:36:30] Indeed [19:37:38] I prefer the Astral Diamond Church of Uberhamut. [19:37:44] He's ten times better than Bahamut. [19:38:51] What does Bahamut Zero have then? :V [19:39:06] 0% Ubercharge [19:39:26] heh [19:40:13] Maybe Paera might have better luck [19:41:54] I could get a 19 if I took 10, but...hmm. [19:42:10] damn [19:42:37] Maybe Eve could Aid? [19:42:58] Rolling it. [19:43:05] roll 1d20+9 [19:43:05] Paera rolls [ 1D20+9: 10 +9 = 19 ] [19:43:09] Haw. [19:43:27] THIS ROLL WAS MADE FOR ME [19:44:13] hah [19:44:26] drrr drrr drrr [19:44:33] Hahahah [19:44:46] hahahahaha [19:45:05] You're pretty sure that it's no disease you've ever seen, and you know a damn sight more about diseases than Eve. :V [19:45:31] Not true. :( [19:45:40] She knows 5% more about diseases than me. [19:50:11] They're probably up to their noses in elephants and mandrills. :V [19:53:45] Hahaha [19:54:32] Fuck, we're just gonna get there and they're gonna pull the magma lever. [19:54:34] Well, if we're near water, it oculd be carp [19:55:10] magma lever? elephants? mandrills? [19:55:17] Dwarf Fortress [19:55:22] Also, this woman is swarthy. >:( [19:55:24] ah [19:55:33] which woman? [19:55:48] You just don't trust her because she's black. >:C [19:56:04] hahahahaha [19:56:06] I on'y half trust her [19:56:10] Becuase she's a half-dark half-elf [19:56:20] :psyduck: [19:56:25] Hahahahha [19:56:36] Is she half-drow? [19:56:45] Or half dark-skinned human? [19:56:49] The latter. [19:56:59] She's got brownish skin, not jet black. [19:57:06] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:58:10] Does Paera not know what fomorians are? Because in the Feywild, they're pretty much behind EVERYTHING. :V [19:58:15] Well, them or drow. [19:58:27] But Drow mainly hang around the World. [19:58:54] Oh, wow, I can't wait to try Liberal Crime Squad. It's a game about running a left-wing revolutionary group in the style of the Symbianese Liberation Army. And it was started by the same guy who did Dwarf Fortress with a similarly awesome level of detail. [19:59:20] I don't know if she'd know what they are. But when you start blaming them for stealing the color from the sky she finds it hard to take seriously. [19:59:30] hahahaha [19:59:37] Oh wow, Liberal Crime Squad, I remember that game. [19:59:54] Wow. [19:59:54] If it was started by the same guy who made DF then I can see why I failed at it too. :V [19:59:58] Apparently some guy picked it up after Toady dropped it and started development. [20:00:07] That sounds pretty interesting [20:01:11] This is one goon's story from the game: [20:01:21] Just for kicks, I ran my own game with an all E leader. I immediately got about 6 garment makers under my command and put them into making t-shirts. I decide to send my leader down to the gentleman's club to seduce a conservative with some weapon skills to train my men. [20:01:28] After a couple of false starts, I get inside and everything is froody. I run across a CCS agent and go for seducing him, unfortunately a corporate manager next to him sees my true liberal nature and alerts everyone. Quickly I kidnap a neutral doctor as two cops and the CCS agent open up on me. The doctor is killed by the volley but I take no hits. I evade towards the exit and they get a free attack on me. [20:01:36] The CCS agent shoots my leg, I go down, cop 1 shoots my other leg. Cop 2 shoots me in the face with a shotgun and I passout. I spam north and my character wakes up literally dragging herself to the exit while bleeding to death (status: nearDETH) while muttering prayers to herself. [20:01:37] I make it to the exit point. [20:01:37] She spends 2 weeks in the hospital and when she gets out she has a new health status.... [20:01:37] Missing Face [20:01:39] 1d20+3 [20:01:39] Xan rolls 1D20+3: 9 +3 = 12 [20:01:44] Jesus fuck. So she has no eyes and no nose. I go try to seduce some people anyways. Skull-face doesn't have any luck, and is later shot to death on a botched run through an AM radio station. [20:01:45] My most favorite LCS leader yet. [20:01:45] Good night, Skull-face. Your attempts at seduction were humorous at best, deadly at worst. [20:01:45] yeah, I have no stealth [20:01:59] hahahahahahha [20:03:02] Also stealth. [20:03:06] roll 1d20+4 [20:03:06] Paera rolls [ 1D20+4: 4 +4 = 8 ] [20:03:11] :saddowns: [20:03:21] Hahaha, wow. [20:03:23] There's honestly nothing better than barging into the genetics lab with my paraplegic squad stripped bare-ass naked and toting AK-47's (named, obviously, the Wheelchair Assassins [AFR]) and shooting the everloving shit out of everything. [20:03:24] What's even better is sending a quadriplegic out alone to steal their own wheelchair. [20:03:41] Stealth [20:03:47] 1d20+2 [20:03:48] Eilenia rolls 1D20+2: 7 +2 = 9 [20:04:21] http://img.waffleimages.com/7f1201a26e79deca86d902da074838006170dcff/Canadian%20warning%20label-mouth.jpg http://img.waffleimages.com/17108beed0c01ce349b1cc1cd3c23fb4184092b1/TobaccoImpotent.gif Oh god yes, someone who shares my pain about selling these damn things. [20:04:23] We are terrible at the stealth [20:04:35] if idve known, idve taken it. [20:05:28] This is the worst Top Secret Action ever. [20:05:50] I thought you did take it which is why I suggested it [20:06:04] I thought I did too [20:06:08] until I looked at my sheet [20:06:22] I'm imagining Xan, Paera, and Eilenia all hanging out in this alley across from the woman's door, just each farther from the door [20:06:36] hehe [20:07:29] hhaahaha [20:07:31] At least people don't bitch at me to give them a pack with a different picture anymore like they did when the law was newer. [20:07:35] oh god i just read that skull-face thing [20:07:39] I'm rolling [20:08:18] I couldn't ever sell the damn teeth packs. [20:08:21] Charles: Link me that post? [20:09:08] What're you waiting for? [20:09:18] Rusty: In 4e, you can switch what skills you have training in upon level up [20:09:29] http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=2900817&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=1 [20:09:36] So at level 3, if there's a skill you don't really use often, you can switch it for training in Stealth [20:10:49] * Xan nods [20:10:53] Likely will [20:11:11] if cha lets me retcon, I can do so now [20:11:12] Oh also, Eve just got a lot more flexible. [20:11:23] Nova: What're you waiting for? I'm not sure what your intent is [20:11:26] She has training in acrobatics now. [20:11:31] I'm waiting for the woman? [20:11:34] Xan: Since you didn't know, sure. But that role stands. [20:11:36] DId I miss her showing up? [20:11:43] sure thing cha [20:11:50] Er. roll. [20:11:55] Well, she hasn't shown up yet. [20:12:05] I'm an idiot. [20:13:24] I hope Eve doesn't get locked in a cellar. :( [20:13:42] Cha, just out of curiosity, will you let me substitute acrobatics for athletics checks when doing stuff like hopping onto a table 3 feet high? [20:14:06] With the flavor of her, like, hand-vaulting onto it [20:14:48] If not I might want to retrain somehting for Athletics [20:15:03] And I couldn't just lie and say that we only had the teeth packs left because they were all displayed where the customers could see. :saddowns: [20:15:42] (if the government REALLY wants this thing to be effective they should just ditch all the images except the teeth and the not a limp dick, really) [20:16:02] You guys should have a discount on teeth and limpdick boxes [20:16:09] haha [20:16:37] I'm curious about how much more people will pay for a different box. [20:16:57] Hahahaha. [20:17:12] Well, all the smokers are used to it by now, so they don't care anymore. [20:17:20] I think they need grosser pictures. [20:17:49] You don't get Athletics *or* Acrobatics with the paladin skill list, and I think the Ranger multiclass only gives Nature or Dungeoneering. [20:17:49] Possibly with a legitimately flacid dick since we keep them under the counter now and they're considered adult items. :V [20:18:11] I think you should look into getting Skill Training [20:18:12] No [20:18:23] Ranger multi gives any ranger skill [20:18:35] Oh, huh. [20:18:53] And I just failed to realize athletics wasn't a paladin skill [20:19:21] Is that perception or insight? [20:19:32] Uh, I guess you could try vaulting small things as an Acrobatic Stunt. But you run the risk of falling on your ass if you fail instead of plain forgetting things. [20:19:43] Perception, I think. Insight is more social. [20:20:09] roll 1d20+4 [20:20:09] Paera rolls [ 1D20+4: 14 +4 = 18 ] [20:20:10] Like, Perception is when you check if you're being followed, Insight is when you check if the guy you told to come with you will sell you out to your enemies when you leave. [20:20:14] You don't see anyone. [20:20:28] I'll roll per too [20:20:35] 1d20+9 [20:20:35] Xan rolls 1D20+9: 13 +9 = 22 [20:20:58] Athletics failure means you forget things? [20:21:16] You don't notice anything. [20:21:36] Yeah. Like I failed an athletics roll when I was typing and forgot how to make any damn sense. [20:21:48] What I meant to say was "failing to do things" [20:21:51] heh [20:22:09] So Athleics failure means it just doesn't happen, and an Acrobatics failure means I'm prone [20:23:23] Yeah. [20:23:55] Which makes sense, since trying to swing your leg over something is a lot lower-stakes than trying to somersault onto it, in terms of climbing onto low things [20:24:22] I'm sort of reminded of me when I used to play MGS and try to somersault Snake up stairs. [20:24:55] Yeah [20:25:10] Fun fact! If you somersault everywhere, Old Snake sometimes hurts his back. :haw: [20:25:13] Sucks that paladins don't get athletics as a skill [20:25:31] I might have to take Skill Training for it. [20:26:05] "So *screw* your village, Paera. :toot:" [20:26:08] (You can pick up those sore back pads as items. :laffo:) [20:26:16] Yon: What happens if you call Otacon right after you hurt your back? [20:27:13] All the very specific situational codecs I encountered involved someone calling you, rather than vice versa. [20:27:49] I tried to get them talking about the fact that I was in a box or looking at playboy but they just said their generic spiels. :( [20:27:57] :( [20:28:15] Is there anything advertising Zone of Enders 3? [20:28:29] No, though there's a ton of ZoE product placement. [20:29:12] You can listen to ZoE music on your iPod (yes, Snake takes an iPod into combat zones), and a ZoE2 poster apparently fell through a time warp. [20:29:20] 1d20+8 insight [20:29:20] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+8: 12 +8 = 20 [20:29:30] Insight check on half-elf [20:29:42] Looking for what, exactly? [20:29:44] Yeah, about that void that hungers, can I roll arcana or religion about that? [20:29:50] Arcana on that one. [20:30:02] I'll give it a shot [20:30:03] (when you go back to Shadow Moses, Otacon's office has a ZoE2 poster) [20:30:09] 1d20+12 [20:30:09] Eilenia rolls 1D20+12: 4 +12 = 16 [20:30:12] Hee [20:30:15] 1d20+6 [20:30:15] Paera rolls 1D20+6: 19 +6 = 25 [20:30:31] Fuck your higher bonuses. :coolbert: [20:30:33] Looking for if she's insane, malicious, seeking to harm us in some round about Xanatos Gambit. [20:31:06] She doesn't seem malicious or harmful. She's more curious than anything. [20:36:29] Guys, I need to go. [20:36:44] Ack. [20:36:45] Yeah it's getting kinda late [20:37:15] Mind if we wrap up here, and carry on next week or wednedsay? [20:37:37] I can do both [20:38:07] sure, same here [20:38:08] I can do either, yeah. [20:38:12] I dunno what my plans for wednesday might be [20:38:20] since nova isnt ready yet [20:38:22] I'm kinda looking to get out more [20:38:48] Rusty, Stormreach has been delayed indefinately [20:40:52] I'm gonna call it here. [20:41:11] k [20:42:34] Looks good [20:42:49] * Eve_Kasnora is now known as NovaSeaker [20:42:52] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [20:42:57] Fun session [20:43:01] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [20:43:07] I just sort of imagine Eve as looking really silly wearing dwarven scale mail made for a male dwarf. [20:43:21] It's probably really short on her [20:43:26] And confining [20:43:36] But loose in the arms [20:43:53] Well, if we find anyone with the Enchant Magic Item ritual, they cna probably fix that [20:45:19] That session was a lot more interesting to run than the dungeon run from the last few sessions, yeah. [20:45:36] It's a good change of pce [20:45:38] pace [20:45:43] And I'm glad I didn't put much work into my encounters, since so far you've managed to dodge two of the possible ones I threw together. :V [20:45:57] haha [20:46:01] I was half-considering drawing a few maps just in case, and now I'm glad I didn't. [20:46:18] Now I'm wondering where they were [20:47:09] Yeah [20:47:23] I think the good thing about these mIRC games is that you basically only have to make one contingency encounter per expected detour, since one fight will probably last one session [20:47:42] * Xan is now known as Mechazawa [20:47:51] * Demota nods [20:48:02] How many encounters do you usually go through in an RL session? [20:48:35] I'm considering cutting down on encounters for the Wizards modules games and bumping up the exp rewards. [20:48:51] Usually two or three in my experience [20:49:04] Oh, and I worked it out. [20:49:18] The trash you picked up in the waypost was 91g 97s [20:49:33] Alright, cool. Someone make anote of it in the party log [20:51:44] awesome [20:51:45] thanks cha [20:51:50] Total party wealth is now 731 gold 497 silver [20:51:57] divided 4 ways? [20:52:11] I don't think Eve should get a cut of more than like 10 gold. [20:52:28] Since she has the most powerful magic item in the party right now [20:52:56] Actually, in terms of level, that's Paera [20:53:20] Even splits are 195 gold, seventeen and a half copper each [20:54:17] I'll let you guys decide how to work this out, since the more math I do, the less accurate it probably is [20:54:22] * Demota nods [20:57:27] Holy balls, you guys were carrying about 25 pounds of gold and silver. [20:57:32] Well, still are. [20:57:35] Good thing we have a card [20:57:39] Maybe we ought to Plat some [20:57:49] Platinum is worth 100 gp, IIRC [20:58:04] Not in 4e. [20:58:08] ... oh, wait [20:58:13] Whoops [20:58:46] So even with an uneven split to make up for treasure, you'd have enough for two platinum pieces, if you were lucky [20:59:07] Yeah [21:01:08] ...Oh, cart. [21:01:23] When you said card, I assumed you meant you'd be, like, charging things to credit. [21:01:49] Whoops [21:01:51] :downs; [21:02:04] Alright guys [21:02:07] Time for me to sleep [21:02:09] nanight [21:02:10] Night [21:02:21] * NovaSeaker (Novaseaker@cpe-24-168-45-216.si.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [21:02:43] http://www.sights-and-culture.com/cruise/Marcus-square.jpg This is what I based the market square on. If you guys want a visual, I was thinking of high fantasy Venice for Harborhead. [21:06:16] After this adventure is over, I kind of want to show my original DM notes, to show how far we've already gone off-track before the action even really starts. :V [21:07:00] I'd written out maybe four paragraphs of possible things to happen, and almost all of it except "The PCs arrive to find a city in mourning" turned out to be totally irrelevant. [21:07:56] Hahaha. [21:08:11] That'd be cool [21:10:24] The downside is that if I do that, I can't recycle those for the next time I run a city-based adventure [21:11:55] Because one of them would have been *really* cool. The other one was more of a failsafe if things got retarded, but the one that was good would have been awesome. [21:13:21] I also need to figure out more ways to have example skill challenges. [21:13:41] So we can test the two systems and decide which to use. [21:13:50] Though I'm leaning more towards Obsidian, personally [21:14:12] * Demota nods [21:14:17] I haven't gotten a chance to read over them yet [21:14:32] The basic differences are: [21:15:26] Stalker0 is a rebalancing of the core system, with better DCs, more tactical options for PCs, and the like. Basically, a remake of the existing skill challenge system. [21:15:56] Obsidian is a full rebuild from the ground up, where players have three rounds to get as many successes as possible between the group. [21:16:18] Bad rolls won't kill it like they will in normal skill challenges, so as best you'll be a nonfactor as opposed to actively detrimental [21:16:53] * Demota nods. [21:17:07] At worst, rather [21:17:51] Yeah [21:20:14] I really hate how Skill Challenges, as they currently stand, are deathtraps [21:22:39] Yeah. Or at least "You don't get XP and advance things as much as a normal encounter would" traps. [21:23:05] The thing is, they're either deathtraps or, if you allow Aid Another circlejerking, trivial.
